Buku wa Bubiji wa Byambo bya Moba

20 Pa kupitapo kimye, bena Moabu+ ne bena Amonyi,+ pamo na bena Amonamu* bamo, baishile na kulwa ne Yehoshafwata. 2 Kepo Yehoshafwata bamubuujile’mba: “Jibumba jikatampe jaiya na kulwa ne anweba, jafuma ku kibunji kya kalunga* ka mema, ku Edomu,+ kabiji baji mu Hazazona-tamala ko kuba’mba Enagedi.”+ 3 Ponkapo Yehoshafwata waumvwine moyo, kabiji wafuukwilepo* kukeba Yehoba.+ Onkao mambo, watayile mbila ya kuba’mba bena Yuda bonse bazhikilwe na nzala. 4 Kepo bena Yuda bakonkene pamo na kwipuzha Yehoba;+ bafumine mu mizhi yonse ya mu Yuda kuba’mba bepuzhe Yehoba.

5 Kepo Yehoshafwata aimene mu kipwilo kya bena Yuda ne kya ba mu Yelusalema mu nzubo ya Yehoba kulutwe ya kipango kya katataka, 6 kabiji waambile’mba:

“Anweba Yehoba Lesa wa bashakulu betu, nanchi kechi yenu Lesa wa mwiulu;+ kabiji mwi mfumu wa bufumu bonse bwa bisaka bya bantu nenyi?+ Mu kuboko kwenu muji bulume ne ngovu, kabiji kafwako wakonsha kulwa nenu ne.+ 7 Anweba Lesa wetu, nanchi kechi mwapangilemo bangikazhi ba mu kino kyalo ku meso a bantu benu bena Isalela ne kwikipana ku baana* ba kwa Abalahama mulunda nenu kwikala ke kyabo myaka ne myaka nenyi?+ 8 Kabiji baikele monka, ne kwimushimikila nzubo yazhila ya kutumbijikilamo jizhina jenu+ ne kwamba’mba, 9 ‘Inge bya malwa bituponena, nangwa mpoko, nangwa kwitukabisha, nangwa mwalo, nangwa kipowe kya nzala, kabiji twaimana ku ino nzubo ne ku meso enu (mambo jizhina jenu jiji mu ino nzubo)+ ne kwimwita’mba mwitukwashe kimye kyo tuji mu bya malwa, mukomvwe ne kwitupokolola.’+ 10 Pano akitalai bena Amonyi ne bena Moabu ne ba mu kibunji kya mitumba kya Seila,+ bonka bo mwabujile kuswisha bena Isalela amba bebalukuke kimye kyo bafuminenga mu kyalo kya Ijipita. Abo bebasezhezhe kabiji kechi bebepayile ne.+ 11 Pano baiya na kwitufweta kupichila mu kwitupanga mu kyalo kyenu kyo mwitupele kwikala buswanyi bwetu.+ 12 Anweba Lesa wetu, nanchi kechi musakwibakambula nenyi?+ Mambo atweba tufwabo bulume bwa kulwa na jino jibumba jikatampe jibena kwiya na kwitulwisha; kabiji kechi twayuka kintu kyo twafwainwa kuba ne,+ tubena kutalatu kwi anweba.”+

13 Kabiji bena Yuda bonse baimene kwi Yehoba pamo na baana babo babacheche, bakazhi babo ne baana* babo.

14 Kabiji mukachi ka kipwilo, mupashi wa Yehoba waishile pe Yahaziela mwana wa kwa Zekaliya, Zekaliya mwana wa kwa Benaya, Benaya mwana wa kwa Yeyela, Yeyela mwana wa kwa Mataniya, mwina Levi wa mu baana ba kwa Asafwa. 15 Waambile’mba: “Telekai, anweba bena Yuda bonse, ne anweba bangikazhi ba mu Yelusalema ne anweba Mfumu Yehoshafwata! Yehoba wimwambila’mba, ‘Kange mube moyo nangwa kukakilwa na mambo a jino jibumba jikatampe ne, mambo ino nkondo kechi yenu ne, bino yo ya Lesa.+ 16 Kesha mukaye ko baji. Bakatuntukanga mukolo wa Zizi, kabiji mukebataana kwapelela kimpachiko* kwipi na kiselebwa kya Yelwela. 17 Kechi mukalwako mu ino nkondo ne. Itanchikai, imanaitu,+ kabiji mukamona Yehoba byo akemupulusha.*+ Anweba bena Yuda ne ba mu Yelusalema, kange mube moyo nangwa kukakilwa ne.+ Kesha mukaye ko baji, kabiji Yehoba ukekala nenu.’”+

18 Ponkapo Yehoshafwata wanyeñamine wakinka ne kilungi kyanji panshi, ne bena Yuda bonse ne bangikazhi ba mu Yelusalema bafukamijile Yehoba ne kumupopwela Yehoba. 19 Kepo bena Levi bajinga ba mu kisemi kya bena Kohati+ ne bena Kola baimene ne kutota Yehoba Lesa wa Isalela na jiwi ja peulu.+

20 Baimene lukelo ne kuya ku kiselebwa kya Tekoa.+ Byo bayilenga, Yehoshafwata waimene ne kwamba’mba: “Ntelekai anweba bena Yuda ne anweba bangikazhi ba mu Yelusalema! Ikalai na lwitabilo mwi Yehoba Lesa wenu pa kuba’mba mukonshe kwimana saka mwakosa.* Ikalai na lwitabilo mu bangauzhi banji,+ kabiji bintu bisakwimwendelatu bulongo.”

21 Byo apwishishe kwisamba na bantu, watongwele banabalume kuba’mba bembile+ Yehoba ne kumutota saka bavwala bivwalo byazhila kimye kyo batangijile kulutwe ya banabalume bajinga na bilwilo saka bemba’mba: “Musanchilai Yehoba, mambo butemwe bwanji bubula kwaluka bo bwa myaka ne myaka.”+

22 Byo batendekele kwimba na lusekelo nyimbo ya kumutota, Yehoba wabikile bakubelamina banabalume bena Amonyi, bena Moabu ne ba mu kibunji kya mitumba kya Seila baishile na kulukuka Yuda, kabiji betapile bene na bene.+ 23 Kabiji bena Amonyi ne bena Moabu baalukijilemo bangikazhi ba mu kibunji kya mitumba kya Seila+ ne kwibonauna ne kwibavizha; kabiji byo bapwishishe kuvizha bangikazhi ba mu Seila, batendekele kwiipaya mulwabo.+

24 Bino bena Yuda byo bafikile ku kyamba kya usopa kyajinga mu kiselebwa+ ne kutala kwajinga jibumba, bamwene mibiji yabo yafwa saka yalalazhamatu panshi;+ kafwako wapulukile ne. 25 Onkao mambo, Yehoshafwata ne bantu banji bayile na kusenda bipukulwa, kabiji mwi abo bataainemo bintu byawama byavula, bivwalo ne bipe byawama, byo betolejilenga abo bene kufikatu ne byo bebikankelwe kwibisenda.+ Moba asatu apwile na kutunta bipukulwa, mambo byavujile bingi. 26 Pa juba ja buna bakonkene pamo mu Kimpachiko* kya Belaka, mambo konkakwa ko ko bamutotejile* Yehoba. O ene mambo o batumbijile yoya mpunzha amba Kimpachiko kya Belaka*+ kufika ne lelo jino.

27 Kepo bena Yuda bonse ne ba mu Yelusalema, ne Yehoshafwata wibatangijilenga, babwelele ku Yelusalema saka basangalala, mambo Yehoba wibakwashishe kushinda balwanyi babo.+ 28 Onkao mambo, baishile mu Yelusalema na bijimba bya mizhinge, byansa,+ matolompita+ ne kuya ku nzubo ya Yehoba.+ 29 Kabiji moyo wa kuchina Lesa wakwachile bufumu bonse bwa mu byalo byo baumvwine’mba Yehoba walwa na balwanyi ba bena Isalela.+ 30 Onkao mambo, mu bufumu bwa Yehoshafwata bantu bonse baikeletu ku matwi nzoo, kabiji Lesa wanji wamulengejile kukokoloka ku balwanyi banji bonse bamuzhokolokele.+

31 Kabiji Yehoshafwata watwajijile kulama Yuda. Wajinga na myaka ya kusemwa 35 kimye kyo aikele mfumu, kabiji walamine mu Yelusalema myaka 25. Inanji wajinga Azuba mwana wa kwa Shilihi.+ 32 Waendelenga mu jishinda ja shanji aye Asa.+ Kechi wafuminemo ne, kabiji waubilenga byaoloka kwi Yehoba.+ 33 Pano bino, mapunzha atuntama kechi beonawine ne,+ kabiji bantu kechi bakinengezhe michima yabo kwi Lesa wa bashakulu babo+ ne.

34 Bintu bikwabo byapichilemo Yehoshafwata kufuma po atendekejile kufika ne po apelejile, byanembwa mu byambo bya kwa Yehu+ mwana wa kwa Hanani,+ biji mu Buku wa Bamfumu ba mu Isalela. 35 Kepo Yehoshafwata Mfumu wa Yuda aumvwañene na Ahaziya Mfumu wa Isalela, yenka waubilenga bintu byatama.+ 36 Onkao mambo, waishile kukwatankana nanji ne kulenga maato a kuya ku Tashishi,+ kabiji balengele maato mu Eziona-gebela.+ 37 Nangwa byonkabyo, Elieza mwana wa kwa Dodabahu wa ku Malesha waawile pe Yehoshafwata amba: “Na mambo a kuba mwaumvwañana na Ahaziya, Yehoba ukonauna mingilo yenu.”+ Byonkabyo, maato aonaikile,+ kabiji kechi akonsheshe kuya ku Tashishi ne.
