2 IziKronike 19 uJehu umboni

¹ UJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda wabuyela ngokuthula endlini yakhe eJerusalema.

² UJehu, indodana kaHanani, umboni, waphuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi enkosini uJehoshafati: “Kumelwe usize ababi, uthande labo abazonda uJehova na?” ngalokho intukuthelo yehlela phezu kwakho ivela ebusweni bukaJehova.

³ Kodwa okuhle kwatholakala kuwe ngoba wasusa izihlahla elizweni, walungisa inhliziyo yakho ukuthi ifune uNkulunkulu.

⁴ UJehoshafati wahlala eJerusalema, wabuye waphuma phakathi kwabantu kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube sezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, wababuyisela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise.

⁵ Wamisa abahluleli ezweni emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, umuzi ngemizi;

⁶ Wathi kubahluleli: “Qaphelani enikwenzayo, ngokuba anahluleli abantu, kodwa uJehova onani ekwahluleleni.”

⁷ Ngakho ukumesaba uJehova makube phezu kwenu; Qaphelani, nikwenze, ngokuba akukho bubi kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, nokukhetha ubuso nokwamukela izipho.

⁸ Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJehoshafati wamisa eJerusalema emaLevi, nakubapristi, nasezinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bakwa-Israyeli, ukuba kube ngukwahlulela kukaJehova nokubambana, lapho sebebuyele eJerusalema.

⁹ Wabayala wathi: “Niyakwenza kanjalo ngokumesaba uJehova, ngokwethembeka nangenhliziyo epheleleyo.

¹⁰ Futhi noma yisiphi isizathu enisithola sivela kubafowenu abahlala emizini yabo, phakathi kwegazi negazi, phakathi komthetho nomyalo, izimiso nezahlulelo, kumelwe ubaxwayise ukuba bangaphambuki kuJehova, bese nifikelwa ulaka, mayelana nabafowenu: yenzani lokhu, futhi aniyikweqa.

¹¹ Bhekani, umpristi omkhulu u-Amariya uphezu kwenu kuzo zonke izindaba zikaJehova; noZebadiya indodana ka-Ishmayeli, umbusi wendlu yakwaJuda, kuzo zonke izindaba zenkosi; namaLevi ayakuba phambi kwakho. Yiba nesibindi, futhi uJehova uyakuba nabahle.
