2 Amakhosi 13 Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli

¹ Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nantathu kaJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uJehowahazi indodana kaJehu waba yinkosi kwa-Israyeli eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa.

² Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, walandela izono zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u-Israyeli; akasukanga kuyo.

³ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wabanikela esandleni sikaHasayeli inkosi yase-Aramu nasesandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHasayeli zonke izinsuku zabo.

⁴ UJehowahazi wamncenga uJehova, uJehova wamuzwa, ngokuba wayebona ukucindezelwa kuka-Israyeli, ngokuba inkosi yase-Aramu yayibacindezela.

⁵ UJehova wanika u-Israyeli umsindisi, baphuma phansi kwesandla sama-Aramu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlala ematendeni abo njengakuqala.

⁶ Kodwa abaphendukanga ezonweni zendlu kaJerobowamu onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, kepha bahamba kuzo; kwasala nehlathi eSamariya.)

⁷ Akashiyanga muntu kuJehowahazi abantu, kuphela abamahhashi abangamashumi ayisihlanu, nezinqola eziyishumi, nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi; ngokuba inkosi yase-Aramu yababhubhisa, yabenza baba njengothuli lokubhula.

⁸ Ezinye izindaba zikaJehowahazi, nakho konke akwenzayo, namandla akhe, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?

⁹ UJowahasi wayeselala koyise; bammbela eSamariya; uJowashi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

¹⁰ Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa kaJowashi inkosi yakwaJuda uJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi waba yinkosi kwa-Israyeli eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha.

¹¹ Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova; akasukanga kuzo zonke izono zikaYarobheham, indodana kaNebati, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli; kodwa wahamba ngayo.

¹² Ezinye izindaba zikaJowashi nakho konke akwenzayo, namandla akhe alwa ngawo no-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?

¹³ UJowashi wayeselala koyise; uJerobowamu wahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, uJowashi wangcwatshwa namakhosi akwa-Israyeli eSamariya.

¹⁴ U-Elisha wagula ngenxa yokugula afa ngakho. UJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wehlela kuye, wakhala izinyembezi ebusweni bakhe, wathi: “Baba, baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!

¹⁵ U-Elisha wathi kuye: “Thatha umnsalo nomcibisholo.” Wamthathela umnsalo nomcibisholo.

¹⁶ Wathi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli: “Beka isandla sakho emnsalweni.” Futhi wabeka isandla sakhe phezu kwalo, futhi u-Elisha wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zenkosi.

¹⁷ Wathi: “Vula ifasitela ngasempumalanga.” Wase evula. Wayesethi u-Elisha: “Dubula! Futhi wadubula. Wathi: “Umcibisholo wensindiso ovela kuJehova, umcibisholo wensindiso kwa-Aramu, ngokuba uyakuwachitha ama-Aramu e-Afeki, uze uwaqede.

¹⁸ Wathi: “Thatha imicibisholo.” Futhi wazithatha. Wathi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli: “Shaya phansi.” Futhi washaya kathathu, wahlala.

¹⁹ Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wamthukuthelela, wathi: “Ngabe ushaye kahlanu noma kasithupha; wanqoba ama-Aramu waze wawaqeda; kodwa manje uzowahlula ama-Aramu kathathu kuphela.

²⁰ U-Elisha wafa, bammbela. Amaviyo akwaMowabi afika ezweni ekuqaleni komnyaka.

²¹ Kwathi bengcwaba umuntu, bheka, babona iviyo; bamphonsa ethuneni lika-Elisa.

²² Kepha uHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu wamcindezela u-Israyeli zonke izinsuku zikaJehowahazi.

²³ UJehova waba nesihe kubo, waba nesihe kubo, waba nesihe ngenxa yesivumelwano sakhe no-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, akathandanga ukubabhubhisa, akabalahlanga ebusweni bakhe.

²⁴ Wafa uHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu; indodana yakhe uBenihadadi waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

²⁵ UJowashi indodana kaJowahazi waphinda wathatha esandleni sikaBeni Hadadi indodana kaHasayeli imizi ayeyithathile esandleni sikayise uJowahazi empini. UJehowashi wamshaya kathathu, wabuyisa imizi yakwa-Israyeli.
