URehobowamu wahlala eJerusalema , wakha imizi ukuba ibe yizinqaba kwaJuda.

Emizini yonke , yileyo naleyo , wabeka izihlangu nemikhonto , wayiqinisa kakhulu impela. ElakwaJuda nelakwaBenjamini lalingelakhe. Abapristi namaLevi baya kwaJuda

Ngokuba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nefa lawo , aya kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngokuba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe bawalahla ukuba angabe esaba ngabapristi bakaJehova,

Kepha lapho esezithoba , intukuthelo kaJehova yabuya kuye ukuba angamchithi ngokupheleleyo, futhi kwakusekhona nokuhle kwaJuda.

Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili wenk osi uJerobowamu u -Abiya waba yinkosi kwaJuda.

Wakha imizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , ngokuba izwe lazola , engenampi kuleyo minyaka, ngokuba uJehova wayemphumuzile.

U-Asa wayenempi ephethe izihlangu nemikhonto , evela kwaJuda , iyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu, nevela kwaBenjamini, ephethe amahawu nensala iminsalo , iyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili; bonke labo babe ngamaqhawe anamandla.

Wabeka amabutho emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , wabeka amakhanda ezweni la kwaJuda, nasemizini yakwa -Efrayimi u -Asa uyise ayithathileyo.

Inhliziyo yakhe yaphakanyiswa ezindleleni zikaJehova ; futhi wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo nawo-Ashera kwaJuda.

Base befundisa kwaJuda benencwadi yomthetho kaJehova ; bazungeza baya emizini yonke yakwaJuda, bafundisa phakathi kwabantu.

Nakhu ukubalwa kwabo njengezindlu zawoyise : kwaJuda: izinduna zezinkulungwane: ngu-Adina induna , enamaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu;

Uyise wabanika izipho ezinkulu zesiliva nezegolide, namagugu kanye nemizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda , kepha umbuso wawunika uJehoramu , ngokuba wayeyizibulo.

Zazungeza kwaJuda , zabutha amaLevi emizini yonke yakwaJuda , nezinhloko zawoyise bakwa-Israyeli, bafika eJerusalema.

Inkosi yayisibiza uJehoyada inhloko , yathi kuye : Awubizanga ngani kumaLevi ukuba alethe kwaJuda naseJerusalema int ela kaMose inceku kaJehova neyebandla lika-Israyeli, ibe ngeyetende lobufakazi na?

Kwase kumenyezelwa kwaJuda naseJerusalema ukuba balethe kuJehova intela uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu ayibeke phezu kuka-Israyeli ehlane.

Kwathi ngasekupheleni komnyaka impi yase -Aramu yakhuphukela kuye , yafika kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yabhubhisa zonke izikhulu zabantu phakathi kwabantu, yathuma yonke impango yazo enkosini yaseDamaseku.

Ngokuba uPheka indodana kaRemaliya wabulala kwaJuda izinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili ngalusuku lunye , bonke bengamadoda anamandla, ngokuba bebeshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

Ngokuba uJehova wathobisa uJuda ngenxa ka -Ahazi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba wayedlubulundile kwaJuda , waphambuka nokuphambuka kuJehova.

Lonke ibandla lakwaJuda kanye nabapristi namaLevi , nalo lonke ib andla elaphuma ku -Israyeli, nabafokazi abaphuma ezweni lakwa -Israyeli behlezi kwaJuda, bathokoza.

Sekuphelile konke lokho , u-Israyeli wonke owayekhona wap huma waya emizini yakwaJuda, waphula izinsika, wagawula o-Ashera, wadiliza izindawo eziphakemeyo nama -altare kwaJuda wonke , nakwaBenjamini, nakwa- Efrayimi, nakwaManase, waze waqeda konke . Base bebuyel a bonke abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, kwaba yilowo nalowo ef eni lakhe , emizini yakubo.

Wenze njalo uHezekiya kwaJuda wonke ; wenza okuhle nokulungile nokuthembekile phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Emva kwalezo zinto naleso sibonelo sokuthembeka kwafika uSaneheribi inkosi yase -Asiriya, wangena kwaJuda , wamisa malungana nemizi ebiyelweyo, wathi uyakuzifohlela yona.

Ekuqaleni komnyaka inkosi uNebukadinesari yathumela yamletha eB abele kanye nezitsha ezinxanelekayo zendlu kaJehova , yabeka uSedekiya , umfowabo, inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Ekubuseni kuka -Ahashiveroshi, ekuqaleni kokubusa kwakhe , baloba bamangalela abakhileyo kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Ngokuba siyizigqila ; nokho uNkulunkulu wethu akasishiyanga ebugqileni bethu, kepha usenzele isihawu emehlweni amakhosi asePheresiya ukuba asinike ikhefu , simise ind lu kaNkulunkulu wethu , sivuse incithakalo yayo , asinike ugange kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Bathumela izwi kwaJuda naseJerusalema kubo bonke abathunjwa ukuba babuthane eJerusalema

Ngathi enkosini: Uma kukuhle enkosini , uma inceku yakho ifumene umusa emehlweni akho , ungivumele ukuba ngiye kwaJuda emzini wamathuna awobaba ukuba ngiwuvuse.

Futhi ngathi enkosini : Uma kukuh le enkosini , manginikwe izincwadi kubabusi phesheya koMfula , ukuze bavume ukuba ngidlule ngize ngifike kwaJuda,

Futhi ubekile abaprofethi ukuba bashumayele ngawe eJerusalema ukuthi uyinkosi kwaJuda. Njengokuba lawo mazwi eyakuzwakala enkosini, mawuze, silulekane.

Ngalezo zinsuku ngabona kwaJuda abanyathela izikhamo zewayini ngesabatha nabaletha izithungu zamabele , bethwesa izimbongolo, newayini, nezithelo zewayini , namakhiwane, nemithwalo yonke , bekungenisa eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha ; ngabaxwayisa ngosuku abathengisa ngalo lokho kudla.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa kwaJuda, igama lakhe likhulu kwa-Israyeli.

utheleke kwaJuda, ukhukhule, udlule, ufinyelele entanyeni, besewugcwalisa ngamaphiko awo eluliweyo ububanzi bezwe lakho, Imanuweli.

Wasisusa isimbozo kwaJuda; wena wabheka ngalolo suku izikhali zasendlini yehlathi.

Khulumani kwaJuda , nizwakalise eJerusalema, nithi: Bethani amacilongo ezweni, nimemeze nithi: Buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo.

Memezani lokhu endlini kaJakobe, nikuzwakalise kwaJuda ngokuthi:

Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Lobani lo muntu ukuthi akanamntwana, umuntu ongayikuba nampumelelo ezinsukwini zakhe , ngokuba umuntu ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide akayikuba nampumelelo yokuba abe esabusa kwaJuda.

ukuba yilowo nalowo akhulule isigqila sakhe , yilowo nalowo isigqilakazi sakhe, umHeberu nomHeberukazi , ukuze kungabikho muntu okhonzisa umfowabo kwaJuda.

Ngiyakukhipha igazi labo emlonyeni wabo , nezinengiso zabo phakathi kwamazinyo abo , nabo uqobo babe yinsali kuNkulunkulu wethu , babe ngababusi kwaJuda nase-Ekroni njengamaJebusi.

Khona uDaniyeli wangeniswa phambi kwenkosi . Inkosi yakhuluma, yathi kuDaniyeli: Wena unguDaniyeli lowo ongowabathunjwa bakwaJuda , abalethwa yinkosi ubaba, bevela kwaJuda na?

Kepha ngiyakuthuma umlilo kwaJuda , uqede izindlu zamakhosi zaseJerusalema.
