2 Amakhosi 17

¹Ngomnyaka weshumi nambili ka-Ahazi inkosi yakwaJuda uHoseya, indodana ka-Ela, wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli eSamariya, iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye.

²Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, kodwa kungenjengamakhosi akwa-Israyeli ayengaphambi kwakhe.

³UShalimaneseri inkosi yase-Asiriya wenyuka wamelana naye; uHoseya waba yinceku yakhe, wamnika izipho.

⁴Inkosi yase-Asiriya yafumana ugobe kuHoseya, ngokuba yathuma izithunywa enkosini yaseGibithe, ingalethi isipho enkosini yase-Asiriya njengokwenza kwakhe iminyaka ngeminyaka; ngalokho inkosi yase-Asiriya yamvalela, yambopha etilongweni.

⁵Inkosi yase-Asiriya yadabula izwe lonke, yakhuphukela eSamariya, yalivimbezela iminyaka emithathu.

⁶Ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaHoseya inkosi yase-Asiriya yalithumba iSamariya, yathumbela u-Israyeli e-Asiriya, yababeka eHala naseHabori ngasemfuleni iGoshani nasemizini yamaMede.

⁷Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bona kanjalo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owabakhuphula ezweni laseGibithe phansi kwesandla sikaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe, besaba abanye onkulunkulu;

⁸Wahamba ngezimiso zezizwe uJehova ayezixoshile phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nezamakhosi akwa-Israyeli ababewenzile.

⁹Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza ngasese okubi phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bazakhela izindawo eziphakemeyo emizini yabo yonke, kusukela embhoshongweni wabalindi kuze kube emzini onogange.

¹⁰Bazimisela izithombe neziqu zemithi phezu kwawo wonke amagquma aphakeme naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.

¹¹Baqhumisa khona umusi phezu kwazo zonke izindawo eziphakemeyo, njengoba nje kwenza izizwe uJehova aziholile phambi kwabo; futhi benza izinto ezimbi ukuze bamthukuthelise uJehova.

¹²Bakhonza izithombe uJehova athi kubo: “Ningayenzi le nto.”

¹³Kepha uJehova wafakaza ngo-Israyeli noJuda ngesandla sabo bonke abaprofethi nangabo bonke ababoni, wathi: “Phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, nigcine imiyalo yami nezimiso zami ngokomthetho wonke engawuyala oyihlo, engawuyalayo. Ethunyelwe kini ngezinceku zami abaprofethi.

¹⁴Kodwa abalalelanga, kodwa izintamo zabo zaba lukhuni njengezintamo zaboyise abangakholwanga nguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.

¹⁵Bazenqaba izimiso zakhe nesivumelwano sakhe asenza nawoyise nobufakazi bakhe abufakaza ngabo; balandela okuyize, baba yize, balandela izizwe ezazibazungeza, uJehova abayala ngazo ukuba bangenzi njengalokho abakwenzayo.

¹⁶Bayishiya yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bazenzela izithombe ezibunjiweyo, amathole amabili, benza isihlahla, bakhuleka kulo lonke ibandla lasezulwini, bakhonza uBali.

¹⁷Badabulisa amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni, babhula, benza imilingo, bazithengisela ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba bamcunule.

¹⁸Ngakho uJehova wabathukuthelela kakhulu u-Israyeli, wabasusa ebusweni bakhe; akwasala muntu, isizwe sakwaJuda kuphela.

¹⁹NoJuda akagcinanga imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, kepha wahamba ngezimiso zakwa-Israyeli ababezenzile.

²⁰UJehova wayilahla yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli, wayicindezela, wayinikela esandleni sababhubhisi, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe.

²¹Ngokuba waklebhula u-Israyeli endlini kaDavide; babeka uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati inkosi; uJerobowamu wawaxosha u-Israyeli ekumlandeleni uJehova, wamonisa ngesono esikhulu.

²²Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba ezonweni zonke zikaJerobowamu azenzayo; abasukanga kubo;

²³UJehova waze wamsusa u-Israyeli ebusweni bakhe, njengokusho kwakhe ngezinceku zakhe zonke, abaprofethi. Ngakho u-Israyeli wathunjwa ezweni lakubo wayiswa e-Asiriya kuze kube namuhla.

²⁴Inkosi yase-Asiriya yaletha abantu eBabele, naseKutha, nase-Awa, naseHamati, naseSefarivayimi, yawabeka emizini yaseSamariya esikhundleni sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; balidla iSamariya, bahlala emzini imizi yalo.

²⁵Kwathi ekuqaleni kokuhlala kwabo khona abamesabanga uJehova; ngalokho uJehova wathuma izingonyama phakathi kwabo, zabulala abanye kubo.

²⁶Base bekhuluma enkosini yase-Asiriya, bathi: “Izizwe owazixosha, wazibeka emizini yaseSamariya aziyazi indlela kaNkulunkulu wezwe; ngalokho wathuma izingonyama phakathi kwabo, bheka, ziyababulala, ngokuba abayazi indlela kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

²⁷Inkosi yase-Asiriya yakhipha umyalo, yathi: “Thatha lapho omunye wabapristi enabakhipha lapho; mabahambe bahlale khona, abafundise indlela kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

²⁸Kwasekufika omunye wabapristi ababebathumbile eSamariya, wahlala eBhetheli, wabafundisa indlela yokwesaba uJehova.

²⁹Kodwa isizwe ngasinye sazenzela onkulunkulu baso, sababeka ezindlini zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezazenziwe ngamaSamariya, kwaba yileso naleso sizwe emizini yaso lapho sasihlala khona.

³⁰Abantu baseBabele benza iSukoti-bhenoti, abantu baseKuti benza uNerigali, abantu baseHamati benza uAshima.

³¹Ama-Avi enza oNibhasi noTharithaki, amaSefarivayimi ashisa abantwana bawo ngomlilo ngenxa ka-Adrameleki no-Anameleki, onkulunkulu baseSefarivayimi.

³²Bamesaba uJehova, babamisela abaphansi kunabo bonke abapristi basezindaweni eziphakemeyo, ababebahlabela ezindlini eziphakemeyo.

³³Babemesaba uJehova, bakhonza onkulunkulu babo njengezizwe ababezithumbile lapho.

³⁴Kuze kube namuhla benza ngokwemikhuba yakuqala: abamesabi uJehova, abenzi njengezimiso zabo, nezahlulelo zabo, nomthetho nomyalo uJehova ayala ngakho abantwana bakwaJakobe, owambiza ngokuthi u-Israyeli.

³⁵UJehova wenza isivumelwano nabo, wabayala wathi: “Aniyikwesaba abanye onkulunkulu, ningabakhothameli, ningabakhonzi, ningabenzeli imihlatshelo.”

³⁶Kepha uJehova owanikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe ngamandla amakhulu nangengalo eyeluliweyo nguye eniyakumesaba, nimkhonze, nimhlabe.

³⁷Izimiso, nezimiso, nomthetho, nomyalo anilobela khona, niyakukwenza ngokucophelela kuze kube phakade; futhi akumelwe nesabe abanye onkulunkulu.

³⁸Isivumelwano engasenza lani kaliyikukhohlwa; futhi ungesabi abanye onkulunkulu.

³⁹Kepha niyakumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; uyakukusindisa esandleni sezitha zakho zonke.

⁴⁰Kodwa kabalalelanga, kodwa benza njengakuqala.

⁴¹Lezi zizwe zamesaba uJehova, zakhonza izithombe zazo ezibaziweyo, nabantwana bazo, nabantwana babantwana bazo; njengoba kwenza oyise, benze njalo kuze kube lamuhla.
