2 IziKronike 12 UShishaki, inkosi yaseGibhithe, uhlasela iJerusalema

¹ Lapho uRehobowamu ebuqinisa ubukhosi, eziqinisa, washiya umthetho kaJehova, no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye.

² Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wenkosi uRehobowamu, uShishaki, inkosi yaseGibithe, wahlasela iJerusalema, ngokuba babephambukile kuJehova;

³ nezinqola eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha; abantu abaphuma naye eGibithe babengenakubalwa; amaLubi, amaSukimi, namaTopiya.

⁴ Wathatha imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, wafika eJerusalema.

⁵ Wayesefika uShemaya umprofethi kuRehabowamu nakuzo izikhulu zakwaJuda ezazibuthene eJerusalema ngenxa kaShishaki, wathi kubo: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Nina ningishiyile, ngalokho nami nginishiyile esandleni kaShishaki.

⁶ Khona-ke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli nenkosi bazithoba; bathi: UJehova ulungile.

⁷ UJehova ebona ukuthi bazithobile, izwi likaJehova lafika kuShemaya, lathi: “Bazithobile; ngakho-ke ngeke ngibabhubhise, kodwa ngizobanika insindiso; ulaka lwami aluyikuthululwa phezu kweJerusalema ngesandla sikaShishaki.

⁸ Kodwa bazakuba yizinceku zakhe; ukuze bazi inkonzo yami lenkonzo yemibuso yamazwe.

⁹ Khona-ke uShishaki, inkosi yaseGibhithe, wenyukela eJerusalema, wathatha ingcebo yendlu kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi; wathatha konke; wathatha nezihlangu zegolide uSolomoni ayezenzile.

¹⁰ Esikhundleni sazo inkosi uRehobowamu yenza izihlangu zethusi, yazinika induna yabalindi ababelinda umnyango wendlu yenkosi.

¹¹ Kwathi inkosi ingena endlini kaJehova, kwafika abalindi bazithatha, bazibuyisela ekamelweni labalindi.

¹² Lapho ezithobile, ulaka lukaJehova lwasuka kuye, kazange athande ukumbhubhisa ngokupheleleyo; nakwaJuda kwakuhamba kahle.

¹³ Inkosi uRehobowamu yaziqinisa eJerusalema, yabusa; ngokuba uRehobowamu wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi uJehova awukhethile ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli ukuba awumise. Igama lakhe lapho. Igama likanina lalinguNahama wakwa-Amoni.

¹⁴ Wenza okubi, ngokuba akayilungisanga inhliziyo yakhe ukumfuna uJehova.

¹⁵ Imilando kaRehobowamu, eyokuqala neyokugcina, ayilotshiwe yini encwadini yomprofethi uShemaya neyomboni u-Ido, ngezizukulwane na? Kwakukhona njalo izimpi phakathi kukaRehobowamu noJerobowamu.

¹⁶ URehobowamu wayeselala koyise, wembelwa emzini kaDavide; u-Abiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
