UManase, inkosi yakwaJuda, uwela ekukhonzeni izithombe, ucela intethelelo
1UManase wayeneminyaka eyishumi nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu nanhlanu eJerusalema.
2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengezinengiso zabezizwe uJehova abaxosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
3Wabuye wakha izindawo eziphakemeyo uHezekiya uyise ayezidilizile, wamisela oBhali ama-altare, wenza nemithi, wakhuleka, walikhonza ibandla lonke lasezulwini.
4Wakha ama-altare endlini kaJehova, uJehova asho ngayo ukuthi: “EJerusalema igama lami liyakuba khona kuze kube phakade.”
5Wakhela nalo lonke ibandla lasezulwini ama-altare emagcekeni omabili endlu kaJehova.
6Wadabulisa abantwana bakhe emlilweni esigodini sendodana kaHinomu; wagcina izikhathi, wenza imilingo, wenza imilingo, wahlobanisa nemimoya nabathakathi; wenza okubi okuningi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba amcunule.
7Wasemisa isithombe esibaziweyo, isithombe abenzileyo, endlini kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngayo kuDavida lendodana yakhe uSolomoni, wathi: Kulindlu leJerusalema engilikhethileyo phezu kwezizwe zonke zakoIsrayeli, ngiyakumisa igama lami kuze kube phakade;
8Angisayikulususa unyawo luka-Israyeli ezweni engalimisela oyihlo; ukuze baqaphele ukwenza konke engabayala ngakho ngokomthetho wonke, nezimiso, nezahlulelo ngesandla sikaMose.
9UManase wadukisa uJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema, benza okubi kunezizwe uJehova azichitha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
10UJehova wakhuluma kuManase nakubantu bakhe, kepha abalalelanga.
11Ngakho uJehova wabehlisela izinduna zempi yenkosi yase-Asiriya, ezambamba uManase emeveni, zambopha ngamaketanga, zamyisa eBabele.
12Lapho esosizini, wancenga uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wazithoba kakhulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu wawoyise.
13Wakhuleka kuye, wamncenga, wezwa ukunxusa kwakhe, wambuyisela eJerusalema embusweni wakhe. UManase wazi ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu.
14Emva kwalokho wakha ugange ngaphandle komuzi kaDavide ngasentshonalanga kweGihoni esigodini kwaze kwaba sekungeneni kweSango Lezinhlanzi, walihaqa i-Ofeli, waliphakamisa kakhulu. Kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda.
15Wasusa onkulunkulu babezizwe nesithombe endlini kaJehova nawo wonke ama-altare ayewakhile entabeni yendlu kaJehova naseJerusalema, wakukhiphela ngaphandle komuzi.
16Wakha i-altare likaJehova, wanikela phezu kwalo imihlatshelo neminikelo yokubonga, wayala uJuda ukuba amkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
17Kodwa abantu babelokhu behlabela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, kodwa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo yedwa.
18Ezinye izindaba zikaManase, nomkhuleko wakhe kuNkulunkulu wakhe, namazwi ababoni ababekhuluma kuye egameni likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
19Nomkhuleko wakhe nokuthi uNkulunkulu wezwakala kanjani kuye, nazo zonke izono zakhe, neziphambeko zakhe, nezindawo akhe kuzo izindawo eziphakemeyo, wamisa iziqu zemithi engcwele nemifanekiso ebaziweyo, ngaphambi kokuba athotshiswe; bheka, kulotshiwe phakathi kwezahlulelo zababoni.
20UManase wayeselala koyise, bammbela endlini yakhe; u-Amoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
21U-Amoni wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka emibili eJerusalema;
22Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengoManase uyise; u-Amoni wahlabela zonke izithombe ezibaziweyo uyise uManase ayezenzile, wazikhonza;
23Akazithobanga phambi kukaJehova njengalokho wazithoba uManase uyise; kepha u-Amoni wona ngokwandayo.
24Izinceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe, zambulala endlini yakhe.
25Kepha abantu bezwe bababulala bonke abayenzela inkosi u-Amoni ugobe; abantu bezwe babeka uJosiya indodana yakhe inkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
