Chapter 21

1 UYehoshafati walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kooyise emzini kaDavide; uYehoram, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
2 Ubenabaninawa, oonyana bakaYehoshafati; uAzariya, noYehiyeli, noZekariya, noAzariya, noMikayeli, noShefatiya; bonke abo ngoonyana bakaYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
3 Uyise wabanika izipho ezininzi zesilivere nezegolide, nezinto ezintle, kunye nemizi enqatyisiweyo kwaYuda; ke ubukumkani wabunika uYehoram, ngokuba ebengowamazibulo.
4 Akuphakama uYehoram ebukumkanini bukayise, wazomeleza, wababulala bonke abaninawa bakhe ngekrele, nenxenye yeenkosana zakwaSirayeli.
5 Ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anamibini ezelwe uYehoram, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka esibhozo engukumkani eYerusalem.
6 Wahamba ngendlela yookumkani bakwaSirayeli, njengoko yenza ngako indlu ka-Ahabhi; ngokuba wayezeke intombi ka-Ahabhi; wenza ububi emehlweni kaYehova.
7 Ke akavumanga uYehova ukuyonakalisa indlu kaDavide, ngenxa yomnqophiso awawenzela uDavide, njengoko wathethayo, ukuba uya kumnika isibane, kwanoonyana bakhe, yonke imihla.
8 Ngemihla yakhe amaEdom akreqa esandleni sakwaYuda, azenzela ukumkani.
9 Wagqitha uYehoram, enabathetheli bakhe, eneenqwelo zakhe zonke zokulwa; wavuka ebusuku, wawabulala amaEdom abemrhawule ngeenxa zonke, nabathetheli beenqwelo zokulwa.
10 Akreqa ke amaEdom, aphuma phantsi kwesandla samaYuda, unanamhla. Yaza yakreqa iLibhena esandleni sakhe kwangelo xesha; ngokuba ebemshiyile uYehova, uThixo wooyise.
11 Kananjalo, yena wenza iziganga ezintabeni zakwaYuda; wabahenyuzisa abemi baseYerusalem, wawawexula amaYuda.
12 Kweza kuye incwadi ivela kuEliya umprofeti, isithi, Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaDavide uyihlo, ukuthi, Ngethuba lokuba ungahambanga ngeendlela zikaYehoshafati uyihlo, nangeendlela zika-Asa ukumkani wakwaYuda;
13 usuke wabamba ngeendlela zookumkani bakwaSirayeli, wawahenyuzisa amaYuda nabemi baseYerusalem, ngokokuhenyuzisa kwendlu ka-Ahabhi; kananjalo wababulala abaninawa bakho bendlu kayihlo, ababelungile kunawe:
14 yabona, uYehova uya kubabetha ngesibetho esikhulu abantu bakho, noonyana bakho, nabafazi bakho, nempahla yakho yonke;
15 ke wena wobethwa zizifo ezininzi, sisifo sezibilini zakho, zide ziphume izibilini zakho sisifo semihla ngemihla.
16 UYehova wawaxhokonxa amaFilisti, nama-Arabhi asecaleni lamaKushi, ukuba amchase uYehoram.
17 Enyuka eza kwelamaYuda, atyhoboza, angena kulo, athimba yonke impahla eyafumaneka endlwini yokumkani, kwanoonyana bakhe, nabafazi bakhe; abamshiya nanyana, yaba nguYehowahazi unyana wakhe omncinane yedwa.
18 Emveni kwezo zinto, uYehova wambetha ezibilinini zakhe ngesifo esingenakuphiliswa.
19 Kwathi ekuhambeni kwexesha, ekupheleni kweminyaka emibini esifa, zaphuma izibilini zakhe esifa njalo; wafa esezintlungwini ezinkulu. Abantu bakhe abamenzelanga baso njengebaso looyise.
20 Ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka esibhozo engukumkani eYerusalem; wemka engalilelwa bani. Bamngcwabela emzini kaDavide; kodwa akangcwatyelwa emangcwabeni ookumkani.
