EyesiBini yeziKronike Chapter17
1 UYehoshafati, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe; womelela, wawachasa amaSirayeli.
2 Wabeka imikhosi emizini yonke enqatyisiweyo yakwaYuda, wamisa iikampu elizweni lakwaYuda, nasemizini yakwaEfrayim, awayithimbayo uAsa uyise.
3 UYehova waba noYehoshafati; ngokuba wahamba ngeendlela zikaDavide uyise, ezokuqala zona; akabaquqela ooBhahali;
4 ke waquqela uThixo kayise, wahamba ngemithetho yakhe; akahamba ngezenzo zakwaSirayeli.
5 UYehova wabuzinzisa ubukumkani bakhe esandleni sakhe; onke amaYuda azisa iminikelo kuYehoshafati; waba nobutyebi nozuko ngokukhulu.
6 Yaphakama intliziyo yakhe ezindleleni zikaYehova; kananjalo wazisusa iziganga nooAshera kwaYuda.
7 Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe, wabathumela abathetheli bakhe, uBhen-hayile, no-Obhadiya, noZekariya, noNataniyeli, noMikaya, ukuba bafundise emizini yakwaYuda;
8 benabaLevi, uShemaya, noNetaniya, noZebhadiya, noAsaheli, noShemiramoti, noYehonatan, noAdoniya, noTobhiya, noTobhadoniya, abaLevi ke abo; benoElishama noYehoram ababingeleli.
9 Bafundisa ke kwaYuda, benencwadi yomyalelo kaYehova, bayijikeleza imizi yonke yakwaYuda, bebafundisa abantu.
10 Zonke izikumkani zamazwe ajikeleze amaYuda zangenelwa kukoyika uYehova, azalwa noYehoshafati.
11 NakumaFilisti babekho abazisa iminikelo nemithwalo kuYehoshafati yesilivere; kananjalo ama-Arabhi azisa kuye impahla emfutshane, amawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eenkunzi zeegusha, namawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eenkunzi zeebhokhwe.
12 UYehoshafati waya eba mkhulu ngokuba mkhulu, wada wenyuka wakha kwaYuda iinqaba nemizi engoovimba.
13 Waye enempahla eninzi emizini yakwaYuda; wayenamadoda okulwa, amagorha anobukroti, eYerusalem.
14 Kuko oku ukulandelana kwawo ngokwezindlu zooyise:kwaYuda abathetheli bamawaka nguAdena umthetheli, enamakhulu amathathu amawaka amagorha anobukroti;
15 nganeno kwakhe nguYehohanan umthetheli, enamakhulu amabini anamanci asibhozo amawaka;
16 nganeno kwakhe nguAmasiya unyana kaZikri, owazinikela kuYehova ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, enamakhulu amabini amawaka amagorha anobukroti.
17 KumaBhenjamin nguEliyada, igorha elinobukroti, enamakhulu amabini amawaka axhobe izaphetha neengweletshetshe;
18 nganeno kwakhe nguYozabhadi, enekhulu elinamanci asibhozo amawaka axhobele imfazwe.
19 Ngabo abo babekhonza kukumkani; bebodwa abamisiweyo ngukumkani emizini enqatyisiweyo kwelakwaYuda lonke.
