2 IziKronike 14 U-Asa kanye nokunqoba kwakhe

¹ U-Abiya wayeselala koyise, bammbela emzini kaDavide; u-Asa indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe. Ezinsukwini zakhe izwe lalinokuthula iminyaka eyishumi.

² U-Asa wenza okuhle nokulungile emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

³ Wawasusa ama-altare onkulunkulu bezizweni nezindawo eziphakemeyo, wadiliza izithombe, wagawula nezihlahla.

⁴ UJuda wayala ukufuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, nokwenza umthetho nemiyalo.

⁵ Wasusa kuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda izindawo eziphakemeyo nezithombe ezibaziweyo; umbuso wazola phambi kwakhe.

⁶ Wakha imizi ebiyelweyo kwaJuda, ngokuba izwe lalinokuthula, kwakungekho mpi ngaleyo minyaka; ngoba iNkosi yamnika ukuphumula.

⁷ Ngakho wathi kuJuda: “Masakhe le mizi, senze izingange zayo nxazonke, nemibhoshongo, namasango, nemigoqo, izwe lisephambi kwethu; ngokuba samfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, samfuna, wasinika ukuphumula nxazonke. Ngakho bakha futhi baphumelela.

⁸ U-Asa wayenempi yabantu abaphatha izihlangu nemikhonto, bevela kwaJuda abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu; nabakwaBenjamini abaphatha izihlangu nabansala iminsalo, izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili; bonke babengamaqhawe anesibindi.

⁹ USeraki umKushe waphuma ukulwa nabo enempi yezinqola eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu; futhi wafika eMarésa.

¹⁰ U-Asa wayesephuma ukumhlangabeza, balwa esigodini saseSefatha eMaresha.

¹¹ U-Asa wayesekhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wathi: “Jehova, akulutho kuwe ukusiza, hhayi ngabaningi nabangenamandla; sisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu; ngokuba sincike kuwe, nangegama lakho siyakumelana nalesi sixuku. Jehova, unguNkulunkulu wethu; makungahlulwa muntu.

¹² UJehova wawahlula amaKushe phambi kuka-Asa naphambi kukaJuda; amaKushe abaleka.

¹³ U-Asa namadoda ayenaye babaxosha kwaze kwaba seGerari; ngoba bachithwa phambi kukaJehova laphambi kwebutho lakhe; bamuka nempango eningi.

¹⁴ Bayichitha yonke imizi ngaseGerari; ngokuba ukwesaba uJehova kwaba phezu kwabo, baphanga yonke imizi; ngoba kwakukhona impango eningi kuyo.

¹⁵ Bachitha namatende ezinkomo, bathumba izimvu namakamela ngobuningi, babuyela eJerusalema.
