2 IziKronike 17

¹ UJehoshafati indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe, wamqinisa ngokumelene no-Israyeli.

² Wamisa impi emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, wamisa amakhanda ezweni lakwaJuda nasemizini yakwa-Efrayimi u-Asa uyise ayithathileyo.

³ UJehova wayenaye uJehoshafati, ngokuba wahamba ngezindlela zokuqala zikayise uDavide, akabafunanga oBali;

⁴ kepha wafuna uJehova uNkulunkulu kayise, wahamba ngemiyalo yakhe, kungenjengokwenza kuka-Israyeli.

⁵ Ngakho uJehova wawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe; wonke uJuda waletha izipho kuJehoshafati; wayenengcebo nodumo ngokuchichimayo.

⁶ Inhliziyo yakhe yathokoza ngezindlela zikaJehova, wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo nemithi engcwele kwaJuda.

⁷ Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wathumela ezikhulwini zakhe, oBeni-hayili, no-Obadiya, noZakariya, noNethaneli, noMikaya, ukufundisa emizini yakwaJuda.

⁸ Wathuma kanye nabo amaLevi, oShemaya, noNethaniya, noZebadiya, no-Asaheli, noShemiramoti, noJonathani, no-Adoniya, noThobiya, noThobadoniya, amaLevi; kanye nabo o-Elishama noJoramu, abapristi.

⁹ Bafundisa kwaJuda, benencwadi yomthetho kaJehova, badabula imizi yakwaJuda, bafundisa abantu.

¹⁰ Ukwesaba uJehova kwehlela yonke imibuso yamazwe ahanqe uJuda, kangangokuthi ayizange ilwe noJehoshafati.

¹¹ Nabanye bamaFilisti baletha izipho nemali yentela kuJehoshafati; ama-Arabhu aletha kuye imihlambi, izinqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa nezimbuzi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa.

¹² UJehoshafati waba mkhulu kakhulu; wakha izinqaba nemizi yengcebo kwaJuda.

¹³ Wayenezindaba eziningi emizini yakwaJuda, namadoda empi, amaqhawe anamandla, eJerusalema.

¹⁴ Lezi ziyizibalo zabo ngokwezindlu zoyise: kwaJuda: izikhulu phezu kwenkulungwane; u-Adna inhloko, kanye naye amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu.

¹⁵ Eceleni kwakhe kwakunguJohanani inhloko, kanye naye izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili.

¹⁶ Eceleni kwakhe kwakungu-Amasiya indodana kaSigri, owazinikela ngokuzithandela kuJehova; kanye naye amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili.

¹⁷ LakwaBenjamini; u-Elijada, iqhawe elinamandla, kanye naye abahlome iminsalo nesihlangu abayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili.

¹⁸ Eceleni kwakhe kwakukhona uJozabadi, futhi kanye naye abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili abahlomele impi.

¹⁹ Bakhonza inkosi, ngaphandle kwalabo inkosi eyayibabekile emizini ebiyelweyo kulo lonke elakwaJuda.
