EyesiBini yeziKronike Chapter16
1 Ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu anesithandathu wobukumkani buka-Asa, wenyuka uBhahesha ukumkani wamaSirayeli, esiza kulwa namaYuda; wayakha iRama, ukuze angavumi ukuba kuphume bani aye kuAsa ukumkani wakwaYuda.
2 Wayirhola ke uAsa isilivere negolide ebuncwaneni bendlu kaYehova, nobendlu yokumkani, wazithumela kuBhen-hadade ukumkani wama-Aram, ohleli eDamasko, esithi,
3 Kukho umnqophiso phakathi kwam nawe, phakathi kobawo noyihlo; nanko ndikuthumele isilivere negolide; yiya uwaphule umnqophiso wakho noBhahesha ukumkani wamaSirayeli, ukuba emke kum.
4 UBhen-hadade wamphulaphula ukumkani uAsa, wathumela abathetheli bempi abenabo emizini yakwaSirayeli, wayithimba i-Iyon, nowakwaDan, neAbhele-mayim, nemizi yonke engoovimba yakwaNafetali.
5 Kwathi, akuva uBhahesha, wayeka ukuyakha iRama, wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe.
6 UAsa ukumkani wawathabatha onke amaYuda; awasusa amatye eRama, nemithi yayo, awayesakha ngayo uBhahesha; wakha ke ngayo iGebha neMizpa.
7 Ngelo xesha uHanani, imboni, weza kuAsa, ukumkani wamaYuda, wathi kuye, Ekubeni wayama kukumkani wama-Aram, akwayama kuYehova uThixo wakho, ngoko ke iphulukile esandleni sakho impi yokumkani wama-Aram.
8 AmaKushi namaLubhi abengeyeyona impi ininzi, enento eninzi kunene yeenqwelo zokulwa nabamahashe? Ukanti ngokuba wayama kuYehova, anikelwa esandleni sakho.
9 Ngokuba uYehova, amehlo akhe asingasinga ehlabathini lonke, ukuba azomelezele abantliziyo ziphelele kuye. Wenza ubudenge ngale nto; ngokuba kususela ngoku woba neemfazwe.
10 UAsa wayiqumbela imboni leyo, wayifaka endlwini yesitokisi; ngokuba wayeyijalele ngale nto. UAsa wayicinezela inxenye yabantu ngelo xesha.
11 Yabona, izinto zika-Asa, ezokuqala nezokugqibela, nanzo zibhaliwe encwadini yookumkani bakwaYuda nabakwaSirayeli.
12 Ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu anesithoba wobukumkani bakhe, uAsa wayesifa ziinyawo, sada senyuka isifo sakhe; kananjalo esifeni sakhe akamquqelanga uYehova, waquqela amagqirha.
13 UAsa walala kooyise; wafa ngomnyaka wamashumi omane anamnye wobukumkani bakhe.
14 Bamngcwabela engcwabeni lakhe, awazimbelayo emzini kaDavide, bamlalisa esililini esizele bubulawu, iintlobo ngeentlobo, ezenziwe ubuqholo ngobugcisa babaqholi; bamenzela ibaso elikhulu kunene.
