2 IziKronike 20

¹Ngasemuva abantwana bakwaMowabi nabantwana bakwa-Amoni nabanye kanye nabo ngaphandle kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni benyuka bamelana noJehoshafati ukulwa.

²Kwase kufika abanye bamtshela uJehoshafati, bathi: “Kukhona isixuku esikhulu esiza kuwe sivela ngaphesheya kolwandle ngaphesheya kwe-Aramu; bheka, baseHasazon-tamare eliyi-Eni Gedi.

³UJehoshafati wesaba, waqala ukumfuna ukumfuna uJehova, wamemezela usuku lokuzila ukudla kwaJuda wonke.

⁴UJuda wabuthana ukuba acele usizo kuJehova; beza bephuma kuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda ukumfuna uJehova.

⁵UJehoshafati wema ebandleni lakwaJuda nelaseJerusalema endlini kaJehova phambi kwegceke elisha;

⁶wathi: “Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wawobaba, wena awusiye uNkulunkulu ezulwini na?” kanti kawubusi yini phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yabezizwe? esandleni sakho awekho amandla namandla, ukuze kungabikho muntu ongamelana nawe?

⁷Awusiye uNkulunkulu wethu yini owaxosha abakhileyo kuleli zwe phambi kwabantu bakho u-Israyeli, walinika inzalo ka-Abrahama umngane wakho kuze kube phakade na?

⁸Bahlala kulo, bazakhela kuyo indlu engcwele yegama lakho, bathi:

⁹Uma, lapho ububi busehlela, njengenkemba, isahlulelo, noma isifo, noma indlala, sima phambi kwale ndlu naphambi kobuso bakho (ngokuba igama lakho likule ndlu) bese ubiza osizini lwethu, khona-ke uzozwa futhi usize.

¹⁰Manje bheka, abantwana bakwa-Amoni nabakwaMowabi nezintaba zaseSeyiri ongathandanga ukuba u-Israyeli abahlasele ekuphumeni kwabo ezweni laseGibhithe, kodwa wabafulathela futhi akababhubhisanga;

¹¹Bheka, ngithi, basivuza kanjani ngokuza ukusixosha efeni lakho owasinika lona njengefa.

¹²O Nkulunkulu wethu, awufuni yini ukubahlulela? ngokuba asinawo amandla okumelana nalesi sixuku esikhulu esisihlaselayo; futhi asazi ukuthi senzeni, kodwa amehlo ethu akuwe.

¹³Wonke uJuda wema phambi kukaJehova, nabancane babo, nawomkabo, nabantwana babo.

¹⁴UMoya weNkosi wehlela phezu kukaJahaziyeli indodana kaZakariya indodana kaBenaya indodana kaJehiyeli indodana kaMathaniya umLevi wamadodana ka-Asafa, uMoya weNkosi phakathi kwebandla weza;

¹⁵Wathi: “Zwanini, nonke Juda, nani enakhileyo eJerusalema, nenkosi uJehoshafati: Usho kanje uJehova kini, uthi: Ningesabi, ningapheli amandla ngenxa yalesi sixuku esikhulu; ngoba impi kayisiyo eyenu, kodwa ngekaNkulunkulu.

¹⁶Yehlani kusasa nilwe nabo; bheka, bakhuphukela eweni likaSisi; niyakubafumana ekupheleni kwesifufula, ngaphambi kwehlane laseJeruweli.

¹⁷Anifanele ukulwa kule mpi; sukumani nime, nibone ukukhulula kukaJehova nani Juda neJerusalema; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla; phumani kusasa niyokulwa nabo, ngokuba uJehova uyakuba nani.

¹⁸UJehoshafati wakhothamisa ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi; noJuda wonke nabakhileyo eJerusalema bawa phambi kukaJehova, bakhuleka kuJehova.

¹⁹AmaLevi, kubantwana bamaKohati nakubantwana bamaKhori, asukuma ukuba adumise uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngezwi elikhulu phezulu.

²⁰Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, basuka baya ehlane laseThekhowa; ekuphumeni kwabo, uJehoshafati wema, wathi: “Ngizweni, Juda, nani bakhileyo eJerusalema! Kholwani nguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, niyakuqiniswa; kholwani ngabaprofethi bakhe, niyakuphumelela.

²¹Ngemva kokubonisana nabantu, wabeka abahlabeleli enkazimulweni kaJehova ukuze badumise inkazimulo engcwele lapho bephuma phambi kwebutho, futhi bathi: “Dumisani uJehova! ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade.

²²Lapho sebeqala ukuhlabelela nokudumisa, uJehova wabeka abaqamekeli babantwana bakwa-Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nasezintabeni zaseSeyiri ababefikele uJuda; bashaywa.

²³Abantwana bakwa-Amoni nabakwaMowabi bavukela abakhileyo ezintabeni zaseSeyiri ukuba babashaye ngesiqalekiso, bababhubhise;

²⁴UJuda esefika embhoshongweni wokulinda ehlane, babheka isixuku, bheka, kwakuyizidumbu eziwele phansi, kungaphunyuki muntu.

²⁵Lapho uJehoshafati nabantu bakhe befika ukuzothatha impango kubo, bathola phakathi kwabo ingcebo eningi kanye nezidumbu nezinto eziyigugu abazithathela zona, babengenakumuka nabo; baba yizinsuku ezintathu bebutha impango, yayiningi kakhulu.

²⁶Ngosuku lwesine babuthana esigodini saseBeraga; ngoba lapho bamdumisa uJehova; ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo laqanjwa ngokuthi: Isigodi saseBeraga kuze kube namuhla.

²⁷Base bebuya bonke abantu bakwaJuda naseJerusalema, uJehoshafati ephambi kwabo ukuba babuyele eJerusalema ngokujabula; ngoba uJehova wenza ukuba bajabule phezu kwezitha zabo.

²⁸Bafika eJerusalema bephethe amahabhu nezingubhu namacilongo endlini kaJehova.

²⁹Ukwesaba uNkulunkulu kwaba phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yalawo mazwe lapho isizwa ukuthi uJehova wayelwile nezitha zakwa-Israyeli.

³⁰Umbuso kaJehoshafati wawuzola, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnika ukuphumula nxazonke.

³¹UJehoshafati wabusa kwaJuda; wayeneminyaka engamashumi amathathu nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu eJerusalema. Igama likanina lalingu-Asuba indodakazi kaSilehi.

³²Wahamba ngendlela kayise u-Asa, akaphambukanga kuyo ngokwenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova.

³³Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga, ngoba abantu babengakalungiseleli uNkulunkulu wawoyise izinhliziyo zabo.

³⁴Ezinye izindaba zikaJehoshafati, ezokuqala nezokugcina, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini kaJehu indodana kaHanani ekulotshweni kwayo encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

³⁵Ngasemuva uJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda wazihlanganisa no-Ahaziya inkosi yakwa-Israyeli owenza okubi kakhulu.

³⁶Wamhlanganyela ekwenzeni imikhumbi yokuya eTharishishi; futhi benza imikhumbi e-Esiongeber.

³⁷U-Eliyezeri indodana kaDodawa waseMaresa waprofetha ngoJehoshafati, wathi: “Ngokuba uhlangene no-Ahaziya, uJehova uyaphulile imisebenzi yakho. Futhi imikhumbi yaphuka, kangangokuthi ayikwazanga ukuya eTharishishi.
