← Chapter 12 Jump to:

1Kwangaloo mini bafunda encwadini kaMoses phambi kwabantu; kwaye kwafunyanwa kubhaliwe kuyo ukuba ama-Amon namaMowabhi akayi kungena ebandleni likaThixo ngonaphakade;

2ngokuba engabakhawulelanga oonyana bakaSirayeli enesonka namanzi; asuka aqesha uBhileham, ukuba abaqalekise; ke uThixo wethu wayiguqula ingqalekiso yaba yintsikelelo.

3Bawuva umyalelo lowo, bayihlula yonke ingxubevange yakwaSirayeli;

4uEliyashibhi umbingeleli, umgcini wegumbi lendlu yoThixo wethu, ubesisicaka sikaTobhiya.

5Wamlungiselela igumbi elikhulu, ababebeke kulo ngaphambili iminikelo etshiswayo, isiqhumiso neembiza, nesahlulo seshumi sengqolowa nesewayini neseoli esasetyenziselwa sona wathi, mabanikwe abaLevi neemvumi nabagcini-masango; neminikelo yababingeleli.

6Ebudeni beli xesha lonke bendingekho eYerusalem, ngenxa yokuba, ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu anesibini ka-Artashashta ukumkani waseBhabheli, ndeza kukumkani, ndaza emva kweentsuku ezithile ndacela kukumkani.

7Ndafika eYerusalem ndabuqonda ububi obenziwe nguEliyashibhi kuTobhiya ngokumlungiselela igumbi ezintendelezweni zendlu yoTHIXO oyinyaniso.

8Ndakhathazeka kakhulu, ngenxa yoko ndazilahlela phandle zonke iimpahla zendlu kaTobhiya ngaphandle kwegumbi.

9Ndatsho ke, bawahlambulula amagumbi; ndazibuyisela khona iimpahla zendlu kaThixo, namadini anyukayo, neziqhumiso.

10Ndaqonda ukuba abaLevi babengazinikwanga izabelo zabo; ngokuba abaLevi neemvumi ababesebenzela bona basaba, elowo waya ezweni lakowabo.

11Ndabakhalimela abathetheli, ndathi, Indlu kaThixo ishiyiwe? Ndabaqokelela ndaza ndazibeka endaweni yazo.

12Ngoko onke amaYuda azisa isishumi sengqolowa nesewayini neseoli koovimba.

13Ndamisa phezu kobuncwane phezu kobuncwane: uShelemiya umbingeleli, noTsadoki umbhali, noPedaya kubaLevi; ngakubo nguHanan unyana kaSakure, unyana kaMataniya; ngenxa yokuba bekuthiwe bathembekile, nomsebenzi wabo wabelwe abazalwana babo.

14Camagu, Thixo wam, ndikhumbule kule ndawo, ungazishiyi iinceba zam, endizenzileyo endlwini kaThixo wam, nakwizenzo zayo.

15Ngaloo mihla ndabona kwaYuda indlela abathile ababexovula ngayo izixovulelo zewayini ngesabatha nabazizisi abaninzi nabakhwelisa amaesile; newayini, neediliya, namakhiwane, neentlobo zonke zemithwalo, ababezizisa eYerusalem ngomhla wesabatha; yaye ndanikela ubungqina kubo mhla babethengisa ukutya.

16Kwaye kukho nabafo baseTire, ababemi khona, besiza neentlanzi neento zonke, bethengisa ngazo ngesabatha koonyana bakaYuda nabaseYerusalem.

17Ndabambana nezikhulu zakwaYuda, ndathi kubo, Bububi buni na obu nibenzayo, niwuzukisa nje umhla wesabatha?

18Asingooyihlo na abasenzayo, asibangelanga na uThixo wethu yonke le ntlekele phezu kwethu naphezu kwesi sixeko? noko niyandisa ingqumbo kaSirayeli, niyihlambela nje isabatha.

19Kwathi kwakuba mnyama amasango aseYerusalem ngaphambi kwesabatha, ndathi makavalwe amasango, ndathi makavulwe kuphela emva kwesabatha; emasangweni, kungathwaliswa mthwalo ngomhla wesabatha.

20Ke abarhwebi, nabathengisa ngeento zonke ezithengiswayo, babehlala ngaphandle kweYerusalem kanye nakabini.

21Ndaqononondisa ndathi kubo, Yini na ukuba nilale eludongeni? ukuba nithe naphinda, ndonisa isandla. Ukususela ngelo xesha ababanga saphinda beze ngesabatha.

22Ndathi kubaLevi mabazihlambulule, baze balinde amasango ukuze kungcwaliswe umhla wesabatha. Ndikhumbule, Thixo wam, undixolele ngobuninzi benceba yakho.

23Ngelo xesha ndawabona amaYuda abezeke abafazi baseAshdode, nama-Amon, namaMowabhi;

24Ke sona isiqingatha soonyana babo babethetha ulwimi lwaseAshdode, bengakwazi ukuthetha isiYuda, kodwa bethetha ngolwimi lweentlanga zonke.

25Ndalwa nawo, ndawatshabhisa, ndabetha amadoda kuwo, ndawanyothula iinwele, ndawafungela uThixo, ndathi, Ize ninganikeli iintombi zenu koonyana babo, oonyana benu ningabazekeli oonyana benu, iintombi zabo ingenguwe okanye wena.

26Wayengone na uSolomon, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli? Noko ke, ezintlangeni ezininzi kwakungekho kumkani unjengaye, ethandwa nguThixo wakhe, yaye uThixo wamenza ukumkani kumaSirayeli onke; nangona kunjalo, uyabagxeka abanye abafazi.

27Ngaba siya kuniphulaphula na xa nenza obu bubi bukhulu ngokona kuThixo wethu ngokutshata abafazi basemzini?

28Ke koonyana bakaYehoyada, unyana kaEliyashibhi, umbingeleli omkhulu, bekukho kubo ongumyeni kwaSanebhalati waseHoron; ke ngoko, ndamgxotha kum.

29Thixo wam, bakhumbule, ngenxa yokuhlambela kwabo ububingeleli, nomnqophiso wobubingeleli, nowobuLevi.

30Ndabahlambulula ke koonyana bonke bolunye uhlanga, ndamisa izigxina zababingeleli nabaLevi, elowo emsebenzini wakhe;

31nezomnikelo weenkuni ngamaxesha amisiweyo nezeentlahlela. Ndikhumbule, Thixo wam, ngenxa yam;
