1Watsi kube Jehoshafati, inkhosi yakaJuda, ancandzeke aphephile, nakefika esigodlweni sakhe eJerusalema, 2 Jehu, umboniswa, umsa waHanani, waphuma wafike wakhuluma enkhosini, watsi: “Wena ukubona kulungile yini kutsi usite lababi nekutsi utsandze labo labatondza Simakadze? Ngenca yaleso sento sakho intfukutselo yaSimakadze isetikwakho. 3 Kodvwa nome kunjalo, kukhona lokuhle kuwe, ngobe utisusile tinsika ta-Ashera kulelive, watimisela enhlitiyweni yakho kufuna Nkulunkulu.”
Tingucuko letentiwa nguJehoshafati
4Nome Jehoshafati abehlala eJerusalema, kodvwa abevame kuhambahamba emkhatsini webantfu kusuka eBherisheba eningizimu, kuye etintsabeni telive laka-Efrayimu enyakatfo, ayewukhutsata bantfu kutsi babuyele kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wabokhokho babo. 5 Wabeka behluleli eveni lonkhe kuwo onkhe emadolobha latinqaba akaJuda, 6 wabayala watsi: “Lenikwentako nibokucabangisisa, ngobe lomsebenti wekwehlulela leniwentako aniwenteli umuntfu kodvwa nentela Simakadze, lonani ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi nanikhipha sigwebo. 7 Ngako yesabani Simakadze, nehlulele ngekunakekela lokukhulu, ngobe Simakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu akanako kungalungi, akakhetsi muntfu, futsi akadizelwa.”
8 Ngisho naseJerusalema Jehoshafati wabeka lamanye emaLevi, nebaphristi kanye nebaholi bemindeni yaka-Israyeli kutsi basebentise umtsetfo waSimakadze nekutsi balamule imibango yalababehlala khona eJerusalema. 9Wabanika umyalo watsi: “Lomsebenti wenu kufanele niwente ngekwesaba Simakadze, konkhe lenikwentako nikwente ngekwetsembeka nangenhlitiyo yenu yonkhe. 10Kulelo nalelo cala leliletfwe kini liphuma kusakhamuti salamadolobha, nome ngabe lekucitsa ingati nome ngabe lekwephula umtsetfo, nemiyalo kanye netimiso, kufanele nibeluleke kutsi bangoni kuSimakadze; ngaphandle kwaloko intfukutselo yaSimakadze itakwehlela kini nakubomnakenu. Nibokwenta loko, khona ningetikona.
11“Amariya, umPhristi Lomkhulu, nguye lotanengamela nonkhe kunome yini lephatselene naSimakadze, bese kutsi Zebadiya, umsa wa-Ishmayeli, umholi wesive sakaJuda, anengamele kunome yini lemacondzana nenkhosi. EmaLevi wona umsebenti wawo kutakuba kubukisisa kufezeka kwetincumo tonkhe. Banini nesibindzi, shangatsi naSimakadze angaba nalabo labenta lokuhle.”
