2 IziKronike 15

¹ UMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi.

² Waphuma ukumhlangabeza u-Asa, wathi kuye: “Ngilalele, Asa nawe wonke uJuda noBenjamini! UJehova unani nina nina; uma nimfuna, uyakufunyanwa nguwe; kepha uma nimshiya, uyakunishiya.

³ Manje u-Israyeli wayesenesikhathi eside engenaye uNkulunkulu weqiniso nompristi ofundisayo futhi engenamthetho.

⁴ Kodwa lapho ekuhluphekeni kwabo baphendukela kuJehova uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, bamdinga, wafunyanwa enabo.

⁵ Ngalezo zikhathi kwakungekho ukuthula kophumayo nakongenayo, kepha ukuhlupheka okukhulu kwaba phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo kulelo zwe.

⁶ Isizwe sachithwa esizweni nomuzi emzini, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wabahlupha ngabo bonke ubunzima.

⁷ Ngakho qinani, izandla zenu mazingadangali, ngokuba umsebenzi wenu uyakuba nomvuzo.

⁸ Kwathi u-Asa ezwa lawa mazwi nesiprofetho sika-Odedi umprofethi, waziqinisa, wasusa izithombe ezinengekayo ezweni lonke lakwaJuda noBenjamini, nasemizini ayeyithathile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, wayivuselela, walisusa i-altare. KaJehova owayephambi kompheme kaJehova.

⁹ Wabutha wonke uJuda noBenjamini nabafokazi ababe nabo bevela kwa-Efrayimi, noManase, nabakwaSimeyoni; ngoba batheleka kuye bevela kwa-Israyeli bebaningi, lapho bebona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayenaye.

¹⁰ Basebebuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesithathu ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.

¹¹ Bahlabela uJehova ngesikhathi sempango ababeyilethile, izinkomo ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.

¹² Benza isivumelwano sokumfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo;

¹³ ukuze wonke umuntu ongayifuniyo uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kufanele abulawe, omncane noma omkhulu, noma owesilisa noma owesifazane.

¹⁴ Bafunga kuJehova ngezwi elikhulu nangokukhamuluka nangamacilongo nangamacilongo.

¹⁵ Wonke uJuda wajabula ngesifungo, ngokuba bafunga ngenhliziyo yabo yonke, bamfuna ngakho konke ukufisa kwabo; wafunyanwa yibo, uJehova wabanika ukuphumula nxazonke.

¹⁶ Futhi ngoMahaga, unina wenkosi u-Asa, wamsusa ekubeni yindlovukazi, ngoba wenza isithombe esibaziweyo ehlathini;

¹⁷ Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga kwa-Israyeli; kepha inhliziyo ka-Asa yayiphelele zonke izinsuku zakhe.

¹⁸ Wangenisa endlini kaNkulunkulu izinto uyise azingcwelisileyo nawayezingcwelisile, isiliva negolide nezitsha.

¹⁹ Akubangakho ukulwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamashumi amathathu nanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.
