2 IziKronike 16 Ukufa kuka-Asa

¹ Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesithupha wokubusa kuka-Asa, uBahasha, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wenyuka wamelana noJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuba aphume noma angene no-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda.

² U-Asa wayesekhipha isiliva negolide engcebeni yendlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi, wathumela kuBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu owayehlala eDamaseku, ethi:

³ Kukhona isivumelwano phakathi kwami nawe, njengoba sasikhona phakathi kukababa noyihlo; bheka, ngiyakuthuma isiliva negolide; hamba, waphule isivumelwano sakho noBahasha, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukuze asuke kimi.

⁴ UBenihadadi wayilalela inkosi u-Asa, wathuma izinduna zempi yakhe ukuba zihlasele imizi yakwa-Israyeli; banqoba i-Ijoni, neDani, ne-Abela-Mayimi, nayo yonke imizi yemizi yakwaNafetali.

⁵ UBhesha esezwile lokho wayeka ukwakha iRama, wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe.

⁶ Inkosi u-Asa yathatha wonke uJuda; basusa amatshe eRama nezinkuni zayo uBahesha akha ngakho; wakha ngayo iGeba neMispa.

⁷ Ngaleso sikhathi uHanani umboni weza ku-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: “Ngokuba wencika enkosini yase-Aramu, ungathembelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ngalokho impi yenkosi yase-Aramu yaphunyuka esandleni sakho isandla sakho.

⁸ AmaKushe namaLubi ayengelona yini ibutho elikhulu, elinezinqola eziningi nabamahhashi? kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wethembele kuJehova, wawanikela esandleni sakho.

⁹ Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba abe namandla ngenxa yalabo abanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuye. Kulokhu nenze ubuwula; ngalokho niyakuba nezimpi kusukela manje kuqhubeke.

¹⁰ U-Asa wayesemthukuthelela umboni, wamfaka etilongweni; ngoba wayemthukuthelele ngale ndaba. U-Asa wacindezela abanye abantu ngaleso sikhathi.

¹¹ Bheka, izindaba zika-Asa, ezokuqala nezokugcina, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwaJuda nakwa-Israyeli.

¹² U-Asa wagula ezinyaweni zakhe ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe, isifo sakhe saba sikhulu kakhulu; kepha ekuguleni kwakhe akafunanga uJehova, kepha izinyanga.

¹³ U-Asa wayeselala koyise, wafa ngomnyaka wamashumi amane nanye wokubusa kwakhe.

¹⁴ Bammbela emathuneni akhe ayemenzele wona emzini kaDavide, bamlalisa embhedeni ogcwele iziqholo nezinhlobo zonke zamakha alungiselwe ubuciko babathaki; futhi bamenzela umlilo omkhulu kakhulu.
