Umkhosi wePhasika
1UHezekiya wathumela kuye wonke u-Israyeli noJuda, walobela o-Efrayimi noManase izincwadi ukuba beze endlini kaJehova eJerusalema, bamenzele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli iphasika.
2Inkosi kanye nezikhulu zayo nalo lonke ibandla laseJerusalema bacebisana ukwenza iphasika ngenyanga yesibili.
3Ngokuba babengenakukwenza ngaleso sikhathi, ngokuba abapristi babengazingcwelisanga ngokwanele, nabantu babengabuthananga eJerusalema.
4Le ndaba yayinhle emehlweni enkosi nakulo lonke ibandla.
5Basebesenza isimemezelo sokuthi kumemezelwe kuIsrayeli wonke, kusukela eBherisheba kuze kufike kwaDani, ukuthi beze ukumenzela iPhasika i Nkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli eJerusalema, ngoba kwase kuyisikhathi eside bengalenzi njengalokhu lalisenziwa kubhaliwe.
6Izigijimi zahamba nezincwadi zenkosi nezikhulu zayo kulo lonke elakwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda, nesiyalezo senkosi eyathi: “Bantwana bakwa-Israyeli, buyelani kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, uyakubuyela kuyo insali yenu ephunyukileyo esandleni samakhosi ase-Asiriya.
7Ningabi njengoyihlo nanjengabafowenu abenza ngokungathembeki kuJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, owabanikela babe yinqwaba yencithakalo, njengokuba nibona.
8Manje ningabi lukhuni njengawoyihlo, kodwa zinikeleni nina kuJehova, ningene endlini yakhe engcwele ayingcwelisile kuze kube phakade, nimkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze kusuke kini ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe.
9Ngokuba uma niphendukela kuJehova, abafowenu nabantwana benu bayakuba nesihe phambi kwabathunjwayo, babuyele kuleli zwe; ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unomusa, unesihe, uyabususa ubuso bakhe kini, uma nibuyela kuye.
10Izigxobo zahamba umuzi ngomuzi zidabula izwe lakwa-Efrayimi nelakwaManase kwaze kwaba kwaZebuloni, kepha zawahleka, aziklolodela.
11Kodwa abanye bako-Asheri lakaManase loZebuloni bazithoba bafika eJerusalema.
12Futhi kwaJuda kwakukhona isandla sikaNkulunkulu ukubanika inhliziyo eyodwa ukwenza umyalo wenkosi nezikhulu ngezwi likaJehova.
13Abantu abaningi babuthana eJerusalema ukugubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo ngenyanga yesibili, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu.
14Basuka, basusa ama-altare ayeseJerusalema, nawo onke ama-altare empepho bawasusa, bawaphonsa emfudlaneni iKidroni.
15Basebehlaba iphasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yesibili; abapristi lamaLevi baba lenhloni, bazingcwelisa, baletha iminikelo yokutshiswa endlini yeNkosi.
16Bema endaweni yabo njengomthetho wabo ngokomthetho kaMose, umuntu kaNkulunkulu; abapristi bafafaza igazi ababelamukele esandleni samaLevi.
17Ngokuba kwakukhona abaningi ebandleni ababengangcweliswanga; ngakho amaLevi ayephezu kwawo ukuhlabela wonke ongahlambulukile iphasika ukuze angcwelisele uJehova.
18Ngoba uquqaba lwabantu, abaningi bakwa-Efrayimi nakwaManase, kwa-Isakare nakwaZebuloni, alizange lizihlanze, kodwa ladla iphasika ngaphandle kwalokho okulotshiweyo. Kodwa uHezekiya wabathandazela wathi: “UJehova omuhle uthethelela wonke umuntu.
19Olungisa inhliziyo yakhe ukuba ifune uNkulunkulu, uJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyise, nakuba engahlanjululwanga njengokuhlanjululwa kwendlu engcwele.
20UJehova wamuzwa uHezekiya, wabaphulukisa abantu.
21Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababekhona eJerusalema bawugcina umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza okukhulu;
22UHezekiya wakhuluma kamnandi nawo onke amaLevi ayefunde ukwazi okuhle kukaJehova; futhi ngesikhathi somkhosi badla izinsuku eziyisikhombisa banikela imihlatshelo yokubonga bavuma izono kuJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.
23Ibandla lonke lacebisana ukwenza ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, futhi ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa bajabula.
24Ngokuba uHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda wanika ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa; izikhulu zanika ibandla izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi, abapristi abaningi bazingcwelisa.
25Lonke ibandla lakwaJuda, nabapristi namaLevi, nalo lonke ibandla elavela kwa-Israyeli, nabafokazi abavela ezweni lakwa-Israyeli nabahlala kwaJuda, bathokoza.
26Kwaba khona intokozo enkulu eJerusalema, ngokuba kusukela emihleni kaSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, akuzange kube khona okunjalo eJerusalema.
27Abapristi bamaLevi basukuma bababusisa abantu, izwi labo lezwakala, nomkhuleko wabo wakhuphukela endaweni yakhe yokuhlala engcwele ezulwini.
