UJosiya wenzela uJehova iphasika eJerusalema
1UJosiya wenzela uJehova iphasika eJerusalema, balihlaba iphasika ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga yokuqala.
2Wamisa abapristi emsebenzini wabo, wabakhuthaza enkonzweni yendlu kaJehova;
3Wathi kumaLevi afundisa wonke u-Israyeli, ayengcwele kuJehova: “Bekani umphongolo ongcwele endlini uSolomoni indodana kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ayakhayo; ngeke kube umthwalo emahlombe enu; manje khonzani uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nabantu bakhe u-Israyeli,
4Zilungiseleni ngokwezindlu zawoyihlo, ngokwezigaba zenu, ngokombhalo kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, nanjengombhalo wendodana yakhe uSolomoni.
5Nime endaweni engcwele ngokwezigaba zemindeni yawoyise babafowenu, abantu, ngokwezigaba zoyise wamaLevi.
6Bese nihlaba iphasika, nizingcwelise, nilungise abafowenu ukuba benze njengezwi likaJehova ngomsebenzi kaMose.
7UJosiya wabanika abantu bonke ababekhona, izimvu, amawundlu, nezimbuzi, kube okwemihlatshelo yephasika, kubo bonke ababekhona, inani lezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nantathu; lalingelenkosi.
8Izikhulu zakhe zanika abantu, abapristi namaLevi ngokuzithandela: oHilikiya, noZakariya, noJehiyeli, izinduna zendlu kaNkulunkulu, banika abapristi izimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu ayisithupha namakhulu amathathu zibe yimihlatshelo yephasika izinkabi.
9OKhonaniya, noShemaya, noNethaneli, abafowabo, noHashabiya, noJehiyeli, noJozabadi, izinduna zamaLevi, banika amaLevi izimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu nezinkomo ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu, zibe yiminikelo yephasika.
10Inkonzo yalungiswa, abapristi bema ezindaweni zabo, namaLevi ngezigaba zabo ngokomyalo wenkosi.
11Balihlaba iphasika, abapristi bafafaza igazi ababesesandleni sabo, amaLevi abagcoba.
12Bayisusa iminikelo yokushiswa ukuba bayinike ngokwezigaba zezizukulwane zabantu ukuba bahlabele uJehova njengokulotshiweyo encwadini kaMose. Benza kanjalo nezinkabi.
13Bawosa iphasika emlilweni njengomthetho, kepha ezinye izipho ezingcwele bazigcoba ezimbizeni, nangamapani, nasemapanini, babelabela bonke abantu masinyane.
14Ngasemuva bazilungisela bona nabapristi, ngokuba abapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, babenikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa namanoni kwaze kwahlwa; ngalokho amaLevi azilungisela wona nabapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni.
15Abahlabeleli, amadodana ka-Asafa, babesesikhundleni sabo ngokomyalo kaDavide, no-Asafa, noHemani, noJeduthuni, umboni wenkosi; nabalindisango balinda emasangweni onke; akufanele baphambuke emsebenzini wabo; kubafowabo amaLevi abalungisela bona.
16Ngakho-ke yonke inkonzo kaJehova yalungiselelwa ngalolo suku ukwenza iphasika nokunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa e-altare likaJehova njengomyalo wenkosi uJosiya.
17Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababekhona ngaleso sikhathi bagcina iphasika nomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.
18Kwakungekho phasika elinjengalelo elalenziwa kwa-Israyeli kusukela emihleni yomprofethi uSamuweli; futhi wonke amakhosi akwa-Israyeli akazange alenze iphasika elinjengalo alenzayo uJosiya, nabapristi namaLevi noJuda wonke no-Israyeli ababekhona kanye nabakhileyo eJerusalema.
19Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wokubusa kukaJosiya leli Phasika lenziwa.
20Emva kwakho konke lokho uJosiya eselungisile ithempeli, uNego inkosi yaseGibithe wenyuka ukulwa neKharikemishi ngase-Ewufrathe; uJosiya waphuma ukumhlangabeza.
21Kodwa wathuma izithunywa kuye ukuthi: Ngilani lawe, nkosi yakoJuda? Kangizanga ukulwa lawe lamuhla, kodwa ngimelene lendlu engilwa layo; ngoba uNkulunkulu wangilaya ukuthi ngiphangise; yeka ukuzigaxa noNkulunkulu onami, funa akubhubhise.
22Kodwa uJosiya kazange asuse ubuso bakhe kuye, kodwa waziguqula ukuthi alwe laye, kazange alalele amazwi kaNego aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu, ukuze alwe esigodini saseMegido.
23Abacibishelayo bacibishela inkosi uJosiya; inkosi yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Ngiyekeni ngihambe; ngoba ngilimele kakhulu.
24Ngakho izinceku zakhe zayikhipha kuleyo nqola zayikhwelisa enqoleni yesibili eyayinayo; bamyisa eJerusalema, wafa, wembelwa kwelinye lamathuna awoyise. Wonke uJuda neJerusalema bamlilela uJosiya.
25UJeremiya walilela uJosiya, nabo bonke abahlabeleli nabahlabeleli bakhuluma ngoJosiya ezililo zabo kuze kube namuhla, bazenza zaba yisimiso kwa-Israyeli; bheka, kuyachazwa encwadini yesiLilo.
26Ezinye izindaba zikaJosiya nokulunga kwakhe njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni kaJehova,
27Izenzo zakhe, ezokuqala nezokugcina, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda.
