1uYosiya ubeminyaka isibhozo ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mathathu anamnye engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguYedida, intombi ka-Adaya umSkitiya.

2Wenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova, wahamba ngeendlela zonke zikaDavide uyise, akatyekela ngasekunene nangasekhohlo.

3Ngomnyaka weshumi elinamnye nowesibini wobukumkani bukaYosiya, ukumkani wathumela uShafan unyana ka-Atsaliya, unyana kaMeshulam, umbhali, endlwini kaYehova, ukuba athi,

4Nyuka uye kuHilekiya umbingeleli omkhulu, ukuze aqokelele isilivere eziswa endlwini kaYehova, eqokelelwe ngabagcini-masango basesidlangalaleni.

5Bayinikela esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi wendlu kaYehova; uyinike abasebenzi bendlu kaYehova, ukuba batywine iintanda zendlu kaYehova;

6nabachweli, nabakhi, nabaqingqi bamatye, bethenga imithi, namatye aqingqiweyo, ukuba kuhlaziywe indlu.

7Kodwa imali eyayinikelwe ezandleni zabo ayizange ibalwe, kuba babesebenza ngokunyaniseka.

8Wathi uHilekiya, umbingeleli omkhulu, kuShafan umbhali, Incwadi yomyalelo ndiyifumene endlwini kaYehova. uHilekiya wayinika uShafan incwadi leyo, wayifunda.

9Weza ke uShafan umbhali kukumkani, wamxelela ukumkani, wathi, Abakhonzi bakho bayiqokelele imali eyafunyanwa endlwini, bayinikela esandleni sabasebenzi bomsebenzi wabo yendlu kaYehova.

10Waxela ke uShafan umbhali kukumkani, wathi, Umbingeleli uHilekiya undinike incwadi. uShafane wafunda phambi kokumkani.

11Uthe akuweva ukumkani amazwi encwadi yomyalelo, wazikrazula iingubo zakhe.

12Ukumkani wamwisela umthetho umbingeleli uHilekiya, noAhikam, unyana kaShafan, noAkebhore unyana kaMikaya, noShafan umbhali, noAsaya umkhonzi wokumkani, wathi:

13Yiyani nibuze kuYehova, mna nakubantu, nangenxa yamaYuda onke, malunga namazwi ale ncwadi ifunyenweyo; ngenxa yokuba umsindo kaYehova ovuthayo nxamnye nathi mkhulu, ngenxa yokuba ookhokho bethu abazange baphulaphule ngokwamazwi ale ncwadi, ukuba enze konke okubhaliweyo ngathi.

14Waya ke umbingeleli uHilekiya, noAhikam, noAkebhore, noShafan, noAsaya, kuHulida umprofeti, umkaShalum, unyana kaTikiva, unyana kaHarhazi, umgcini-ngubo; ebehlala eYerusalem ekholejini; baye bethetha naye.

15Wathi kubo, Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Nothi kwindoda eniyithumele kum, nithi,

16Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiyizisela ububi le ndawo, naphezu kwabemi bayo, onke amazwi encwadi leyo ayifundileyo ukumkani wakwaYuda.

17Ngenxa yokuba bandinikele umva baza baqhumisa abanye oothixo ngenxa yam, ukuze bandihleke ngayo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zabo; ke ngoko, umsindo wam uya kuvutha kule ndawo, kwaye awuyi kucinywa.

18Ke kukumkani wakwaYuda, lowo nimthume ukuba nibuzise kuYehova, nithi kuye, Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ngokusingisele kumazwi owavileyo;

19Ngenxa yokuba intliziyo yakho ibithambile waza wazithoba phambi koYehova, ekuveni kwakho endikuthethileyo nxamnye nale ndawo nanxamnye nabemi bayo, ukuba baya kuba yintlango eqalekisiweyo, neempahla zakho zikrazukile yaye bakhale phambi kwabo amehlo akho. Ndingu; Nam ndikuvile, utsho uYehova.

20Ngako oko, uyabona, ndiya kukusongela ngooyihlo, ubethwe ngoxolo engcwabeni lakho; angayi kububona amehlo enu bonke ububi endibuzisa kule ndawo. Babuya ke bamxelela ukumkani.
