2 IziKronike 10 UJerobowamu ubuya eGibithe

¹ URehobowamu waya eShekemi, ngokuba wonke u-Israyeli wafika eShekemi ukumbeka inkosi.

² Kwathi uJerobowamu indodana kaNebati eseGibithe, lapho ayebalekele khona ebusweni benkosi uSolomoni, ekuzwa lokho, uJerobowamu wabuya eGibithe.

³ Basebethumela bambiza. UJerobowamu no-Israyeli wonke beza bakhuluma kuRehobowamu, bathi:

⁴ Uyihlo wenza ijoka lethu laba nzima; yenza kube lula manje inkonzo enzima kayihlo nejoka lakhe elisindayo alibeka phezu kwethu, futhi sizokukhonza.

⁵ Wathi kubo: “Buyelani kimi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu.” Bahamba-ke abantu.

⁶ Inkosi uRehobowamu yacebisana namadoda amadala ayemi phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esekhona, yathi: “Ningalulekana ngani ukuba ngiphendule laba bantu na?

⁷ Bakhuluma kuye, bathi: “Uma unomusa kulaba bantu, ubathande, ukhulume amazwi amahle kubo, bayakuba yizinceku zakho kuze kube phakade.”

⁸ Kodwa wasishiya iseluleko amadoda amadala ayemnike sona, wacebisana nezinsizwa ayezonda ngazo ezazimi phambi kwakhe.

⁹ Wayesethi kubo: “Nina iseluleko bani ukuba sibaphendule laba bantu ababekhuluma kimi, bathi: ‘Yenza libe lula ijoka uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu na?’

¹⁰ Izinsizwa ezikhuliswe kanye naye zakhuluma kuye, zathi: “Uzabaphendula kanje abantu abakhulume kuwe, uthi: ‘Uyihlo walenza ijoka lethu laba nzima, kepha ulenze libe lula kithi; ngakho-ke uzothi kubo: Ucikicane wami uyakuba mkhulu kunokhalo lukababa.

¹¹ Ngokuba lapho ubaba wanithwesa ijoka elinzima, mina ngiyakuneka futhi ejokeni lenu;

¹² UJerobowamu nabo bonke abantu beza kuRehobowamu ngosuku lwesithathu, njengalokho inkosi yayiyalile, yathi: “Buyelani kimi ngosuku lwesithathu;

¹³ Inkosi yabaphendula kalukhuni; inkosi uRehobowamu yawushiya umphakathi wabadala;

¹⁴ Wabaphendula njengeseluleko sezinsizwa, wathi: “Ubaba walenza ijoka lenu laba nzima, kepha mina ngiyakunezela kulokho; ubaba wanishaya ngezitswebhu, kepha mina ngiyakunishaya ngawofezela.”

¹⁵ Ngalokho inkosi ayizange ibalalele abantu, ngokuba le ndaba yayingekaNkulunkulu, ukuze uJehova afeze izwi lakhe alikhuluma ngesandla sika-Ahiya waseShilo kuJerobowamu indodana kaNebati.

¹⁶ Kwathi wonke uIsrayeli esebonile ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu baphendula inkosi, bathi: Silesabelo sini kuDavida? futhi asinafa endodaneni kaJese; yilowo nalowo makaye ematendeni akho, Israyeli! Manje, Davide, gcina indlu yakho. Khona-ke wonke u-Israyeli waya ematendeni abo.

¹⁷ Kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababehlala emizini yakwaJuda uRehobowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.

¹⁸ Inkosi uRehobowamu yathuma uHadoramu owayephethe ukutheliswa; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamkhanda ngamatshe, wafa. Kepha inkosi uRehobowamu yagijima masinyane ukumkhwelisa enqoleni yakhe, ibalekele eJerusalema.

¹⁹ U-Israyeli wayihlubuka indlu kaDavide kuze kube namuhla.
