1Waba ngukumkani uYowashe ngomnyaka wesixhenxe kaYehu; waba neminyaka emashumi mane engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguTsibhiya waseBher-shebha.

2uYowashe waqhubeka esenza okulungileyo emehlweni kaYehova yonke imihla yakhe awayefundiswa ngayo uYehoyada umbingeleli.

3Kodwa iindawo eziphakamileyo azizange zishenxiswe;

4Wathi uYowashe kubabingeleli, Yonke imali yezinto ezingcwele, eziswayo endlwini kaYehova, nemali yabo bonke abaya kubalela, nemali leyo yabalinganiswa bonke abo, nemali leyo yonke eyabakhoyo entliziyweni yakhe ukuba azise endlwini kaYehova;

5Mabathabathele kubo ababingeleli, elowo ngokokwazi kwakhe, bavale iintanda zendlu, naphi na apho kungafunyanwa khona umsantsa.

6Kodwa ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini anesithathu wokumkani uYowashe, ababingeleli abazitywini iintanda zendlu.

7Ukumkani uYowashe wabiza uYehoyada umbingeleli nabanye ababingeleli, wathi kubo, Yini na ukuba ningazitywini iintanda zendlu? uze ungamkeli mali kwabazana nawe, kodwa uyinike abo baphukileyo.

8Bavuma ababingeleli ukuba bangabi sathabatha mali ebantwini, nokuba iya kulungisa iintanda zendlu.

9uYehoyada umbingeleli wathabatha ityeya, wagqobhoza umngxuma esiguqweni sayo, wawubeka ecaleni lesibingelelo, ngasekunene ekungeneni komntu endlwini kaYehova; nababingeleli abagcini bomnyango babenayo yonke imali ebiziswe endlwini kaYehova.

10Bathi bakubona ukuba kukho imali eninzi kwindawo yokugcina ubuncwane, unobhala kakumkani nombingeleli omkhulu benyuka baza bahlala ezingxoweni baza banikela ingxelo ngemali eyayifunyenwe endlwini kaYehova.

11Bandula ke bayinikela imali emva kokuba ibekwe esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi ababephethe indlu kaYehova; bayinika abachweli nabakhi ababesebenza endlwini kaYehova.

12Nabaqingqi bamatye, nabaqingqi bamatye, bathenga imithi, namatye aqingqiweyo, ukuba kutywinwe iintanda zendlu kaYehova, nento yonke eyakhelwayo ukuba kuhlaziywe indlu.

13Ke akwenziwa zitya zasilivere, nazitya zokutshiza, namaxilongo, nampahla yegolide, nasilivere, neziswe ngayo imali endlwini kaYehova.

14Kodwa bayinika abasebenzi baza bayilungisa ngayo indlu kaYehova.

15Ngaphezu koko, babengawabala amadoda awayenike imali ezandleni zawo ukuba anike abasebenzi, kuba ayesebenza enyanisekile.

16Ke imali yetyala, nemali yesono, ibingaziswa endlwini kaYehova; babengababingeleli.

17uHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram wenyuka waya kulwa neGati, wayithimba; wajika uHazayeli ukuba enyuke aye eYerusalem.

18Wazithabatha uYowashe ukumkani wakwaYuda zonke izipho ezingcwele, ababezingcwalisile ooYehoshafati, noYoram, noAhaziya, ooyise, ookumkani bakwaYuda, nezipho zakhe ezingcwele, negolide yonke ebikho, nasebuncwaneni bendlu kaYehova. uYehova nendlu yokumkani, wabathuma kuHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram;

19Ezinye izinto zikaYowashe, nako konke awakwenzayo, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?

20Bandula bema abakhonzi bakhe baza benza iyelenqe baza bambulala uYowashe endlwini kaMilo eyehlela eSila.

21Bamoyisa ke uYosagare unyana kaShimehati, noYozabhadi unyana kaSomere, abakhonzi bakhe, wafa; yaye bamngcwabela nookhokho bakhe kwisiXeko sikaDavide, waza uAmatsiya unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe.
