¹UJosiya wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nanye eJerusalema.

²Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova, wahamba ngezindlela zikaDavide uyise, akaphambukela ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo.

³Ngoba ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe, esemncane, waqala ukufuna uNkulunkulu kaDavide uyise; ngomnyaka weshumi nambili waqala ukuhlambulula uJuda neJerusalema, wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo, neziqu zemithi, nezithombe ezibaziweyo, nezithombe ezibunjiweyo.

⁴Bawadiliza ama-altare oBali phambi kobuso bakhe; nezithombe ezazilapho phezulu, wazigawula; neziqu ezingcwele, nezithombe ezibaziweyo, nezithombe ezibunjiweyo wakuphahlaza, wakucolisa, wakuvuthululela phezu kwamathuna ababezihlabela.

⁵Wawashisa amathambo abapristi phezu kwama-altare abo, wahlanza uJuda neJerusalema.

⁶Wenze njalo-ke emizini yakoManase, lakoEfrayimi, leSimeyoni, kuze kufike kwaNafetali, lelizwe layo inhlangothi zonke.

⁷Esewabhidlizile ama-altare neziqu zemithi, ecolile izithombe ezibaziweyo zaba uthuli, wanquma zonke izithombe ezweni lonke lakwa-Israyeli, wabuyela eJerusalema.

⁸Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe esehlambulule izwe nendlu, wathuma uShafani, indodana ka-Asaliya, noMahaseya, umbusi womuzi, noJowa, indodana kaJehowahazi, umbusi nxazonke zezwe. Indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

⁹Lapho befika kumpristi omkhulu uHilikiya, bamnika imali eyayilethwa endlini kaNkulunkulu, amaLevi alinda abalindisango ayeyiqoqile esandleni sikaManase no-Efrayimi nakuyo yonke insali yakwa-Israyeli nakuyo yonke insali yakwa-Israyeli. UJuda noBenjamini; babuyela eJerusalema.

¹⁰Bayinikela esandleni sezisebenzi ezazingamele indlu kaJehova, bayinika izisebenzi ezazisebenza endlini kaJehova ukuba zilungise futhi zilungise indlu.

¹¹Bayinika izingcweti nabakhi ukuba kuthengwe amatshe abaziweyo nokhuni lokuhlanganisa nokufaka phansi izindlu ezachithwa amakhosi akwaJuda.

¹²Amadoda awenza umsebenzi ngokuthembeka; nezinduna zabo kwakunguJahati no-Obadiya, amaLevi, emadodaneni kaMerari; noZakariya noMeshulamu emadodaneni amaKohati ukuba bayiqeqeshe; nabanye bamaLevi, bonke ababekwazi ukubethwa izinto zokubethwa.

¹³Babephethe abathwali bemithwalo, bengababonisi bonke abenza umsebenzi kunoma iyiphi inkonzo; kumaLevi kwakukhona ababhali nezikhulu nabalindisango.

¹⁴Lapho beyikhipha imali eyayilethwe endlini kaJehova, uHilikiya umpristi wathola incwadi yomthetho kaJehova eyanikezwa ngesandla sikaMose.

¹⁵UHilikiya waphendula, wathi kuShafani umbhali: “Ngifumene incwadi yomthetho endlini kaJehova.” UHilikiya wayinika uShafani incwadi.

¹⁶UShafani wayiyisa incwadi enkosini, wayibuyisela inkosi, wathi: “Konke okuphathiswe izinceku zakho ziyakwenza.”

¹⁷Base beyiqoqa imali eyatholwa endlini kaJehova, bayinikela esandleni sababonisi nasesandleni sezisebenzi.

¹⁸UShafani umbhali wayitshela inkosi, wathi: “UHilikiya umpristi unginike incwadi. UShafani wayifunda phambi kwenkosi.

¹⁹Lapho inkosi isizwa amazwi omthetho, yaklebhula izingubo zayo.

²⁰Inkosi yabayala oHilikiya, no-Ahikamu, indodana kaShafani, no-Abidoni, indodana kaMika, noShafani umbhali, no-Asaya inceku yenkosi, yathi:

²¹Hambani ningibuzele kuJehova, nangenxa yabaseleyo kwa-Israyeli noJuda, ngamazwi encwadi efunyenweyo; ngokuba inkulu intukuthelo kaJehova ethelulwe phezu kwethu, ngokuba obaba abaligcinanga izwi likaJehova ukuba benze njengakho konke okulotshwe kule ncwadi.

²²UHilikiya nababemisa inkosi baya kuHulida umprofethikazi, umkaShalumi, indodana kaThikwati, indodana kaHazira, umlindi wezingubo; (manje wayehlala eJerusalema ekolishi;) bakhuluma kuye ngakho.

²³Wathi kubo: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi:

²⁴Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwale ndawo naphezu kwabakhileyo kuyo, zonke iziqalekiso ezilotshwe encwadini abayifunda phambi kwenkosi yakwaJuda.

²⁵Ngokuba bangishiyile, bashunqa umusi kwabanye onkulunkulu, ukuba bangidlalise ngayo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zabo; ngalokho ulaka lwami luyakuthululwa phezu kwale ndawo, lungayikucinywa.

²⁶Kepha inkosi yakwaJuda owayithuma ukuba ibuze kuJehova, usho kuyo ukuthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngamazwi owazwileyo;

²⁷Ngokuba inhliziyo yakho yayithambile, wazithoba phambi kukaNkulunkulu lapho wezwa amazwi akhe ngale ndawo nabakhileyo kuyo, wazithoba phambi kwami, waklebhula izingubo zakho, wakhala phambi kwami; nami nginizwile,” usho uJehova.

²⁸Bheka, ngiyakukubuthela koyihlo, ubuthelwe ethuneni lakho ngokuthula, amehlo akho angaboni konke okubi engiyakukwehlisela phezu kwale ndawo naphezu kwabakhileyo kuyo. Ngakho balibuyisela ilizwi lenkosi.

²⁹Inkosi yasithuma, yabiza wonke amadoda amadala akoJuda leJerusalema.

³⁰Inkosi yakhuphukela endlini kaJehova kanye nawo wonke amadoda akwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema nabapristi namaLevi nabantu bonke, abakhulu nabancane, yafunda ezindlebeni zabo wonke amazwi encwadi. Yesivumelwano esatholwa endlini kaJehova.

³¹Inkosi yema endaweni yayo, yenza isivumelwano phambi kukaJehova sokulandela uJehova nokugcina imiyalo yakhe nobufakazi bakhe nezimiso zakhe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yayo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wayo emazwini esivumelwano alotshwe kule ncwadi.

³²Wabamisa lapho bonke ababekhona eJerusalema nakwaBenjamini. Futhi abakhileyo eJerusalema benza ngokuvumelana nesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

³³UJosiya wasusa zonke izinengiso emazweni onke angawabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wenza ukuba bonke ababekhona kwa-Israyeli bakhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. Futhi zonke izinsuku zakhe abazange baphambuke ekulandeleni uJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyise.
