Okuhlele intsapho kaYarobheham nokufa kwakhe

1 Ngelo xesha wahliwa sisifo uAbhiya, unyana kaYarobheham.

2 Wathi uYarobheham kumkakhe, Khawusuke uzenze mntu wumbi, bangàkwazi ukuba ungumka Yarobheham; uhambe uye eShilo; nanko apho uAhiya umprofeti, owandixelelayo ukuba ndiya kuba ngukumkani waba bantu;

3 uphathe esandleni sakho izonka ezilishumi, nemiqhathane, neselwa lobusi, uye kuye: wókuxelela okuya kubakho kulo mntwana.

4 Wenjenjalo umkaYarobheham, wesuka waya eShilo, wangena endlwini ka-Ahiya.Ke kaloku uAhiya ebengenakubona, ngokuba amehlo akhe abenorhatyazo ngobudala bakhe.

5 Wathi uYehova kuAhiya, Nanko umkaYarobheham eza kubuza into kuwe ngonyana wakhe; ngokuba esifa. Uze uthi, uthi, ukuthetha kuye; kuba wóthi ekungeneni kwakhe, azenze mntu wumbi.

6 Kwathi, akusiva uAhiya isingqi seenyawo zakhe, engena emnyango, wathi, Ngena, mkaYarobheham, yini na ukuba uzenze mntu wumbi? Ndithunywe kuwe udaba olubi.

7 Yiya, uthi kuYarobheham, Utsho uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba ndakuphakamisayo phakathi kwabantu, ndakwenza ingànga kubantu bam amaSirayeli,

8 ndabukrazula ubukumkani endlwini kaDavide, ndakunika; wesuka akwafuza umkhonzi wam uDavide, owayigcinayo imithetho yam, owandilandelayo ngentliziyo yakhe yonke, ukuba enze okuthe tye kodwa emehlweni am;

9 wesuka wena wenza okubi ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababekho ngaphambi kwakho, waya wazenzela thixo bambi, nemifanekiso etyhidiweyo, ukuba undiqumbise, wandiphosa emva komhlana wakho:

10 ngako oko, yabona, ndiya kuyizisela ububi indlu kaYarobheham, ndiyinqamle kwaYarobheham yonke into eyindoda, ovalelweyo novulelweyo kwaSirayeli, ndiwatshayele amavelamva endlu kaYarobheham, njengokutshayelwa kwelindle, kude kuthi tu.

11 OkaYarobheham ofela phakathi komzi, uya kudliwa zizinja; ofela endle, uya kudliwa ziintaka zezulu; ngokuba uYehova ethethile.

12 Suk' ume ke wena, uhambe uye endlwini yakho; ekungeneni kweenyawo zakho kuwo umzi, úya kufa umntwana.

13 Ommbambazelela onke amaSirayeli, amngcwabe; ngokuba nguye yedwa kwaYarobheham, oya kungena engcwabeni; ngenxa yokuba kufunyenwe kuye kukho into elungileyo, ebhekisele kuYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, endlwini kaYarobheham.

14 UYehova uya kuzivelisela ukumkani kwaSirayeli, oya kuyinqamla indlu kaYarobheham loo mini, Ndisathetha ntoni na, sekunjalo nje?

15 UYehova uya kubetha kumaSirayeli, njengengcongolo izanyazanyiswa emanzini, áwanyothule amaSirayeli emhlabeni olungileyo, awawunika ooyise, awachithachithele phesheya koMlambo,* ngenxa enokuba enze ooAshera* bawo, amqumbisa uYehova;

16 áwanikele amaSirayeli ngenxa yesono sikaYarobheham, owonayo, wawonisa ngaso amaSirayeli.

17 Wesuka ke umkaYarobheham, wahamba, wafika eTirtsa, wathi akuthi ukunyathela embundwini womnyango wendlu, wafa umntwana.

18 Amngcwaba, ammbambazelela amaSirayeli onke ngokwelizwi likaYehova, awalithethayo ngomkhonzi wakhe, uAhiya umprofeti.

19 Ezinye izinto zikaYarobheham, ukulwa kwakhe, nokulawula kwakhe, nanko kubhaliwe encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli.

20 Imihla awayengukumkani ngayo uYarobheham ngamashumi amabini anesibini iminyaka; walala kooyise. UNadabhi, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

Ulawulo lukaRehabheham kwaYuda

21 Ke uRehabheham, unyana kaSolomon, waye engukumkani kwaYuda. URehabheham ubeminyaka imashumi mané anamnye ezelwe ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe engukumkani eYerusalem, umzi awawunyulayo uYehova ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, ukuba alibeke khona igama lakhe. Igama lonina belinguNahama, umAmonikazi.

22 AmaYuda enza ububi emehlweni kaYehova, amkhweletisa ngaphezu kwako konke ababekwenzile ooyise ngezono zabo, ababesona ngazo.

23 Azakhela nazo izingánga, nezimiso zamatye, nooAshera, ezindulini zonke eziphakamileyo, naphantsi kwemithi yonke eluhlaza.

24 Kananjalo bekukho amang'awu elizweni, enza ngokwamasikizi onke eentlanga, awazigqogqayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.

25 Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokumkani uRehabheham, kwenyuka uShishaki, ukumkani waseYiputa, wayifikela iYerusalem.

26 Wabuthabatha ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova nobuncwane bendlu yokumkani; wabuthabatha bonke; wazithabatha zonke iingweletshetshe zegolide awazenzayo uSolomon.

27 Ukumkani uRehabheham wenza iingweletshetshe zobhedu esikhundleni sazo, waziphathisa abathetheli bezigidimi ezibe zigcina umnyango wendlu yokumkani.

28 Ubesakuthi, akuya ukumkani endlwini kaYehova, ziziphathe izigidimi ezo, zize zizibuyisele egumbini logcino lwezigidimi.

29 Ezinye izinto zikaRehabheham, nako konke awakwenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?

30 Yaye iyimfazwe phakathi koRehabheham noYarobheham yonke imihla.

31 URehabheham walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kooyise emzini kaDavide. Igama lonina belinguNahama, umAmonikazi. UAbhiyam, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
