2 YOOKUMKANI 21

UManase ukumkani wakwaJuda

1UManase wayeneshumi elinesibini leminyaka ukuqala kwakhe ukuba ngukumkani, waza ke walawula eJerusalem iminyaka emashumi mahlanu anesihlanu. Unina yayinguHefezibha. 2Wênza okubi emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo, wasuka wahamba ekhondweni lemikhwa emasikizi yezo zizwe wazigxothayo uNdikhoyo phambi kwamaSirayeli. 3Iindawo zonqulo eziphakamileyo awazitshitshisayo uyise uHezekiya, yena wabuya wazivusa, kananjalo wakhela noBhali amaqonga, wenza nentsika ka-Ashera, kanye ngendlela awayenze ngayo uAhabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli. Wayequbuda nakwiindidi zonke zeenkwenkwezi ezinqula. 4Wakha amaqonga endlwini kaNdikhoyo, nangona uNdikhoyo wayeyalele wathi: “Igama lam ndolimisa eJerusalem.” 5Kuzo zombini iinkundla endlwini kaNdikhoyo wakhela iinkwenkwezi amaqonga. 6Unyana wakhe wamfaka emlilweni, esenza idini ngaye. Wayethe phithi yimilingo nokuvumisa, ehamba kumagqirha noosiyazi. Wayegqithisile ukwenza ububi emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo, emqumbisa.

7Wathatha intsika ka-Ashera awayeyikrolile, wayifaka endlwini kaThixo, ukanti ke uNdikhoyo wayemyalile uDavide ndawonye noSolomon unyana wakhe, wathi: “Igama lam ndolimisa kude kube ngunaphakade apha kule ndlu eJerusalem, ndawo leyo ndayinyulayo phakathi kwazo zonke izindlu zikaSirayeli. 8Ukuba amaSirayeli abe nenyameko, akwenza konke endiwayalele kona, awuthobela wonke umthetho awawunikwa sisicaka sam uMosis, mna andisoze ndibuye ndiwenze abhadule emke kweli lizwe ndalinika ooyise.” 9Kodwa akaphulaphulanga, kuba uManase wawalahlekisa ngangokuba wada wabalasela ekwenzeni ububi kunezo zizwe wazitshabalalisayo uNdikhoyo phambi kwamaSirayeli.

10UNdikhoyo wathetha ngomlomo wezicaka zakhe *abashumayeli, wathi: 11“UManase ukumkani wakwaJuda wenze izono ezilumezayo. Yena ubalasele ekwenzeni okubi kunawo nama-Amori awayelapho ngaphambi kwakhe. Ngale mifanekiso yakhe uJuda umlukuhlele esonweni. 12Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo, uThixo kaSirayeli, utsho ukuthi: ‘Niyabona, iJerusalem ndawonye noJuda ndiza kuyithobela isithwakumbe esiya kubetha zithi nzwii iindlebe zakhe wonke umntu ophulaphuleyo. 13Apha phezu kweJerusalem ndiza kuthoba isohlwayo esifana neso ndayohlwaya ngaso iSamariya kunye nendlu ka-Ahabhi. IJerusalem ndoyitshabalalisa ndiyibhukuqe oku komntu osula isitya aze asiphethule. 14Ndosuka ndiwabukule amasalela alilifa lam; ewe, ndowanikezela ezandleni zeentshaba zawo. Aya kuxhatshazwa abhunculwe ziintshaba zawo. 15Kaloku wona asuke enza okubi emehlweni am, awuxhokonxa umsindo wam, nto leyo ke yenzeka kwamhla bâphuma ooyise eJiputa kude kube namhla.’ ”

16Ngaphezu koko ke uManase waliphalaza gqitha igazi elingenatyala, eqalela kweli cala, athi xhaxhe kweliya icala leJerusalem; nangaphandle kwesono awalukuhlela amaJuda kuso ukuze enze okubi emehlweni kaNdikhoyo.

17Ke ezinye zeziganeko zolawulo lukaManase, nayo yonke imisebenzi yakhe ikunye neso sono sakhe, nâzo encwadini yeembali zookumkani bakwaJuda. 18Ke uManase waya kuphumla kooyise, waza wangcwatywa emyezweni wakhe apho ebhotwe – lowo ke ngumyezo kaUza. Unyana wakhe uAmon wangena esikhundleni sakhe wangukumkani.

UAmon ukumkani wakwaJuda

19Ke kaloku uAmon wayeneminyaka emashumi mabini anambini ezelwe ukuqala kwakhe ukulawula, waza ke walawula iminyaka emibini eJerusalem. Unina yayinguMeshulemete intombi kaHaruze eYotebha. 20KwanjengoManase uyise naye wênza okubi emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo. 21Yena wahamba ekhondweni likayise, akanxaxha; naye wanqula imifanekiso *yezithixo njengoyise, equbuda kuyo. 22Wasuka wambukula uNdikhoyo uThixo wooyise, akahamba ngendlela yakhe.

23Ke amaphakathi kakumkani uAmon amenzela iyelenqe, ambulalela kwakhe ebhotwe. 24Bona ke abantu belo zwe bababulala bonke abo babenzele ukumkani uAmon iyelenqe, baza babeka unyana wakhe uJosiya wangukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

25Ezinye ke iziganeko zolawulo luka-Amon, nemisebenzi yakhe, nâzo encwadini yeembali zookumkani bakwaJuda. 26Wangcwatyelwa engcwabeni lakhe emyezweni kaUza. Unyana wakhe uJosiya waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

2 YEZIGANEKO 33

UManase ukumkani wakwaJuda

1UManase wayeneshumi elinesibini leminyaka ukuqala kwakhe ukuba ngukumkani, waza ke walawula eJerusalem iminyaka emashumi mahlanu anesihlanu. 2Wenza okukubi emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo, wasuka wahamba ekhondweni lemikhuba emasikizi yezo zizwe wazigxothayo uNdikhoyo phambi kwamaSirayeli. 3Iindawo eziphakamileyo zonqulo ezazidilizwe nguyise uHezekiya yena wabuya wazivusa, kananjalo wakhela ooBhali amaqonga, wenza neentsika zika-Ashera. Wayequbuda nakwiindidi zonke zeenkwenkwezi, ezinqula. 4Wakha amaqonga endlwini kaNdikhoyo, nangona uNdikhoyo wayethe: “Igama lam ndolimisa eJerusalem ngonaphakade.” 5Kuzo zombini iinkundla zendlu kaNdikhoyo wakhela iinkwenkwezi amaqonga. 6Oonyana bakhe ncam wabafaka emlilweni, esenza idini ngabo kwintili kaBhen-hinom. Wayethe phithi yimilingo, ukuvumisa, nobugqwirha, ehamba kumagqirha noosiyazi. Wayegqithisile ukwenza ububi emehlweni kaNdikhoyo, emqumbisa.

7Wathatha umfanekiso oqingqiweyo awayewenzile, wawufaka endlwini kaThixo; ukanti ke uThixo wayemyalile uDavide ndawonye noSolomon unyana wakhe, wathi: “Igama lam ndolimisa kude kube ngunaphakade apha kule ndlu eJerusalem, ndawo leyo ndayinyulayo phakathi kwazo zonke izindlu zikaSirayeli. 8Ukuba amaSirayeli abe nenyameko, akwenza konke endiwayalele kona, ayithobela yonke imithetho nemimiselo kwanemiqathango endayikhupha ngoMosis, mna andisoze ndibuye ndiwenze abhadule emke kweli lizwe ndalinika ooyise.” 9Kambe ke yena uManase wamlahlekisa uJuda nabantu baseJerusalem, ngangokuba bade babalasele ekwenzeni ububi kunezo zizwe wazitshabalalisayo uNdikhoyo phambi kwamaSirayeli.

10UNdikhoyo wathetha noManase nabantu bakhe, kodwa zange bakhathale. 11Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo wabazisela iingqwayi-ngqwayi zomkhosi wokumkani waseAsiriya, owafika wamthimba uManase walibanjwa, wamqhoga impumlo, wambopha ngamakhamandela obhedu, wamsa eBhabheli. 12Kuloo nkxwaleko ke uManase wazicengezela kuNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe, wazithoba warhuqa phantsi phambi koThixo wooyise. 13Akuthandaza ke, uNdikhoyo wachukumiseka sisikhungo sakhe, wakuphulaphula ukuzibika kwakhe; ngoko ke wambuyisela embusweni wakhe eJerusalem. Watsho waqonda ke uManase ukuba uNdikhoyo nguThixo.

14Emva koko ke walwakha udonga olungaphandle lwesixeko sikaDavide, kwintshona yomthombo waseGihon entilini, wada wee xhaxhe ngeSango leeNtlanzi, wayijikeleza induli yeOfeli, kananjalo ke waluphakamisa. Wamisa iingqwayi-ngqwayi zomkhosi kuzo zonke izixeko zakwaJuda ezinqatyisiweyo.

15Wazisusa izithixo zasemzini, kunye nomfanekiso owawusendlwini kaNdikhoyo, kananjalo nawo onke amaqonga awayewakhe kwinduli yendlu kaThixo eJerusalem; xa zizonke ezo zinto wazikhuphela ngaphandle kwesixeko. 16Waza ke walibuyisela iqonga likaNdikhoyo, kulo wenza amadini obudlelwane nawombulelo; uJuda wamyalela ukuba akhonze uNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli. 17Kambe ke bona abantu bathi rhoqo ukwenza amadini kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zonqulo, kodwa bewenzela uNdikhoyo uThixo wabo.

18Ke kaloku ezinye zeziganeko zolawulo lukaManase, kunye nomthandazo wakhe kuThixo wakhe, namazwi awathethwa ngabashumayeli kuye egameni likaNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli, nâzo encwadini yeembali zookumkani bakwaSirayeli. 19Ewe, umthandazo wakhe nendlela awachukumiseka ngayo uThixo sisikhungo sakhe, ndawonye nazo zonke izono zakhe nokunganyaniseki kwakhe, nezo ndawo wazakha kuzo iindawo eziphakamileyo zonqulo, nalapho wazimisa khona iintsika zika-Ashera kwanemifanekiso eqingqiweyo, ngaphambi kokuzithoba kwakhe, yonke loo ngcombolo ibhaliwe kwiinkcukacha zeembongi. 20UManase ke waya kuphumla kooyise, waza wangcwatywa kwibhotwe lakhe. Esikhundleni sakhe ke kwangena unyana wakhe uAmon.

UAmon ukumkani wakwaJuda

21Ke kaloku uAmon wayeneminyaka emashumi mabini anesibini ezelwe ukuqala kwakhe ukulawula, waza ke waba ngukumkani iminyaka emibini eJerusalem. 22KwanjengoManase uyise naye wênza okubi emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo. UAmon wayeyenzela amadini ayinqule yonke imifanekiso eyayenziwe nguyise uManase. 23Yena zange azithobe phambi koNdikhoyo njengoko wenjenjalo uyise uManase; ndaweni yoko wasuka walandisa ityala lakhe.

24Ke amaphakathi ka-Amon amenzela iyelenqe, ambulalela kwakhe ebhotwe. 25Ke bona abantu belo zwe bababulala bonke abo babenzele ukumkani uAmon iyelenqe, baza babeka unyana wakhe uJosiya wangukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

2 YEZIGANEKO 34

UJosiya uchasa unqulo-zithixo

1UJosiya waqalisa ukulawula eneminyaka esibhozo, waza walawula eJerusalem iminyaka emashumi mathathu ananye. 2Ke yena wênza okuhle emehlweni *kaNdikhoyo, ehamba ekhondweni likayise-mkhulu uDavide, enganxaxhi.

3Kunyaka wesibhozo elawula, nakuba wayeselula, waqalisa ukufunana noThixo kayise-mkhulu uDavide. Kunyaka weshumi elinesibini waqalisa ukuzitshitshisa iindawo eziphakamileyo zonqulo kwaJuda naseJerusalem, wazisusa neentsika zika-Ashera kunye nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo netyhidiweyo. 4Wayalela ukuba achithwe namaqonga kaBhali, kunye nalawo eziqhumiso ayephezu kwawo; wazintlekeza iintsika zika-Ashera, kwanemifanekiso eqingqiweyo netyhidiweyo. Ezi zinto wazikroboza waza wazisarhaza emangcwabeni abo babezinqula. 5Amathambo ababingeleli baloo maqonga wawatshisela phezu kwawo; ngaloo ndlela ke wamhlambulula uJuda neJerusalem. 6Kwiidolophu zakwaManase, kwaEfrayim, kwaSimon, de kuthi xhaxhe ngoNafetali, nakumabhodlo ajikelezileyo, 7wawachitha amaqonga, wazisusa neentsika zika-Ashera, imifanekiso wayicola yangumgubo, onke amaqonga eziqhumiso wawadiliza kwaSirayeli ephela. Waza ke wabuyela eJerusalem.

Ukuhlaziywa kwendlu kaNdikhoyo

8Ngonyaka weshumi elinesibhozo elawula uJosiya, ekulihlambululeni kwakhe ilizwe elo kunye nendlu kaThixo, wathumela uShafan unyana ka-Azaliya noMaseya umlawuli-sixeko, kunye noJowa unyana kaYowahazi umgcini-manqaku, ukuze bahlaziye indlu kaNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe.

9Baya kumbingeleli omkhulu uHilekiya, baza bamnika imali eyayiziswe endlwini kaThixo, eyayiqokelelwe ngabaLevi ababengabagcini-minyango, baza bayiqokelela kubantu bakwaManase, abakwaEfrayim, nakuwo onke amasalela kaSirayeli, nakubantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBhenjamin, ngokunjalo nakubemi baseJerusalem. 10Bayigcinisa kubafo ababemiselwe ukuvelela umsebenzi wendlu kaNdikhoyo. Aba bafo ke bahlawula abasebenzi ababehlaziya indlu kaThixo. 11Enye imali bayinika abachweli nabakhi ukuze bathenge amatye akroliweyo kunye nomthi wokuhlanganisa nowemiqadi ukuze kulungiswe ezo zakhiwo zayekwa zabhodloka ngookumkani bakwaJuda.

12La madoda awenza ngentembeko loo msebenzi. Ayekhokelwa nguYahati no-Obhadiya, abaLevi abayinzala kaMerari, kunye noZakariya noMeshulam, inzala kaKohati. Aba baLevi bonke babeziingcungela ekudlaleni izikhalisi zengoma; 13ngabo ababevelele abathwali bempahla nabasebenzi kwiinkalo ngeenkalo zomsebenzi. Bambi abaLevi babengoonobhala, namagosa, nabagcini-masango.
