Atina simba le kulingisana ne babhayani bangapa batinginilila. Atitoziba kuti tithame tjini koga tolinga kumuli kutibhatsha.”
13Balume bose be Juda bakama mbeli kwa Yahwe, kose ne ngawana dzabo ne bakadzi babo ne bana babo. 14Kukati pakati gwe gubungano meya ya Yahwe ikadelukila muna Jahaziele nkololo wa Zekariya, Zekariya ali nkololo wa Bhenaya, Bhenaya ali nkololo wa Jeyele, Jeyele ali nkololo wa Mataniya, Jahaziele wakabe ali Nlevi we nsha wa Asafa. 15#Matama 20:1-4Ngono kalebeleka kati, “Bhulutanani imwi mose Bajuta na bose banogala mu Jerusalema na Mambo Jehoshafati! Yahwe bakati kumuli, ‘Musitje kakale musitemeke mafupa ngoti babhayani ibaba bali banjinji. Ngwa iyeyi ate yenyu koga ngeye Ndzimu. 16Mangwana delukilani ku bali kunobanginilila, bonani, ibo banowotathila nge matathilo e Zizi ngono mowobawana ku bupelo gwe nkuku, bhezhuba kwe tjilambanyika tje Jeruele. 17#Kufuluka 14:13, 14Akutowosheteka kuti mugwe ngwa iyeyi, imwi muswike mume nge mamo yenyu koga, mudzikame ngono mowobona kuti Yahwe banokunda tjini. Bathu be Juda ne Jerusalema wee! Musitje kene kuli kutemeka mafupa, mukani muyende mangwana, Yahwe banamwi.’ ” 18Ipapo Jehoshafati kathigama buso gugwe kwakakutha pasi ne Juda yose ne bagali bose be Jerusalema bakawa nge zwidwi mbeli kwa Yahwe benamata Yahwe. 19Balevi be Bakohati ne Bakora bakamilika bakakudza Yahwe Ndzimu we Iziraela nge mahwi apezhugwi.
20Bakamuka bebinduka beyenda ku tjilambanyika tje Tekowa ngono bakati bemilika, betangisa gwendo Jehoshafati kama ngono kabe eti, “Munditeedze imwi bathu be Juda ne bagali be Jerusalema! Galanibgwe muna Yahwe Ndzimu wenyu ngono mowosima, galanibgwe mu balebesambeli babo ngono mowokunda.” 21Wakati apedza lebeleka ne bathu Jehoshafati kashalula balume kuti bambile Yahwe babakudze bali mu gudzo lakayengemala se bakabe bali mbeli kwe bhayani beti, “Kudzani Yahwe! Ngobe ludo gwabo gusingazunguzike gugelile tjatjose.”
22Bakati betangisa kumba ne kukudza Yahwe, Yahwe bakakomba bathu be Amoni ne Moabu ne bagali be Dombo le Seiri bakabe bazha kuwonginilila bathu be Juda ngono bakabakunda. 23Ngobe bathu be Amoni ne Moabu bakamukila bagali be Dombo le Seiri bakabalobesa tjoselele ngono bakati balobesa bagali be Seiri bakamukilana tjekwabo ngono bakalobesana. 24Ngono babhayani be Juda bakati bazha pa thungamakole yakabe yakalingisana ne ku tjilambanyika kulingisana ne babhayani babo basi bashoma, bakawana kuli kuti bose bakakandalala pasi, kusina ndodwa ne limbelimbe.
25Ndizo Jehoshafati ne babhayani babe bakati bezha kunotapa thundu yabo, bakawana matanga e ng'ombe ne thundu dze zwija ne zwiambalo ne zwimwe zwe ntengo upezhugwi ngono bakazwitolegwa izo kudzina bema pabanoshaka. Bakatola mazhuba ali matatu betuta ngoti kwakabe kuli kunjinji. 26Mu zhuba le bunna bakanokubunganila pa Nkuku we Bheraka ngono ikoku bakakudza Yahwe, ndizo zina le pathu ipapo lakadang'wa kuyi Nkuku we Bheraka kuswikila nasi. 27Kudwapo Jehoshafati katungamila balume be Juda ne Jerusalema mmwe ne mmwe kabgwilila ku Jerusalema akashatha ngobe Yahwe bakabe babashathisa ngokunda zwita zwabo. 28Bakaswika ku Ng'umba ya Yahwe mu Jerusalema belidza zwilidzo zwe matende ne nyele ne nyanga. 29Ngono kutja Ndzimu kukawila mibuso yose ye shango abehwa kuti Yahwe bakagwa ne zwita zwe Iziraela. 30Ndizo mbuso wa Jehoshafati ukabe ne kunyalala ngobe Ndzimu wakabe wampa kunyaluluka kose koga.

(1 Bomambo 22:41-50)
31Ndizo Jehoshafati kabusa Juda. Wakabe ana makole ali makumi matatu ana bushanu (35) ha ebe mambo we Juda ngono kabusa mu Jerusalema kwe makole ali makumi mabili ana bushanu (25). Mmeyabe bakabe bedang'wa Azuba, Azuba ali nkololokadzi wa Shilihi. 32Jehoshafati kangina mu thambo dza Asa tate babe, kasipambuke mu dzili kathama tjakabe tjakalulwama mbeli kwa Yahwe, 33nenguba magalo apezhugwi e kunamata asakakolomogwa, bathu bakabe basinga namate Ndzimu wa bobatategulu babo nge mimoyo yabo yose.
34Tjimwe ne tjimwe tjakashingwa ndi Jehoshafati kudwa tjose mu kutangisa kwe mbuso uwe kunoti ku bhelelo le mbuso uwe zwakakwagwa mu zwiyitikalo zwa Jehu nkololo wa Hanani izo zwakatshambisiwa mu Lukwalo gwa Bomambo be Iziraela.
35Ngono shule kwa ikoku Jehoshafati kathama nshanganyila na Ahaziya mambo we Iziraela, Ahaziya wakabe ethama mbipo inotjenamisa. 36Bakashanganyila kuthama zwikepe zwinoyenda ku Tashishi, bakathama zwikepe zwe gungwa be zwithamila ku mamilo e zwikepe e Eziyonigeberi. 37Koga Eliezeri nkololo wa Dodavahu wakabe edwa ku nzi we Mareshahi kalebelambeli Jehoshafati nge kwako ngono kandwa kati, “Ngoti wathama nshanganyila na Ahaziya, Yahwe bawokolomola kose kwawathama.” Ngono zwikepe zwikafa kukasheta ne tjayenda ku Tashishi.
