Isahluko 33

UManase ubeminyaka ilishumi linamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mahlanu anamihlanu engukumkani eYerusalem.
2 Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ngokwamasikizi eentlanga awazigqogqayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
3 Wabuya wazakha iziganga, awazidilizayo uHezekiya uyise; wabamisela ooBhahali izibingelelo, wenza ooAshera, wawunqula umkhosi wonke wezulu, wawukhonza.
4 Wazakha izibingelelo endlwini kaYehova, awathi uYehova, KuseYerusalem apho liya kuba khona igama lam ngonaphakade.
5 Wawakhela izibingelelo wonke umkhosi wezulu ezintendelezweni zombini zendlu kaYehova.
6 Yena wabacandisa oonyana bakhe emlilweni, emfuleni wakwaBhen-hinom, waba litola, wahlaba izihlabo, wakhafula, wamisa abaneshologu noosiyazi, wakwandisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ukuba amqumbise.
7 Wawumisa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo abewenzile, endlwini kaThixo, awathi uThixo kuDavide nakuSolomon unyana wakhe, Kuyo le ndlu naseYerusalem, endiyinyulileyo ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, ndiya kulibeka khona igama lam ngonaphakade,
8 ndingaphindi ndilususe unyawo lwamaSirayeli emhlabeni endawumisela ooyihlo; kodwa mababe bayakugcina ukukwenza konke endibawisele umthetho ngako, ngokomyalelo wonke nemimiselo namasiko, ngesandla sikaMoses.
9 Ke uManase wawalahlekisa amaYuda nabemi baseYerusalem, ukuba benze okubi, ngaphezu kweentlanga awazitshabalalisayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
10 UYehova wathetha kuManase nakubantu bakhe; abaphulaphula.
11 UYehova wabafikisela abathetheli bomkhosi wokumkani waseAsiriya; bambamba uManase ngamakhonkco, bamkhonkxa ngamakhamandela obhedu, bamsa eBhabheli.
12 Ekubandezelweni kwakhe wambongoza uYehova uThixo wakhe, wazithoba kakhulu phambi koThixo wooyise.
13 Wathandaza kuye, wathandazeka yena nguye, wakuva ukutarhuzisa kwakhe, wambuyisela eYerusalem ebukumkanini bakhe. Wazi ke uManase ukuba uYehova nguye onguThixo.
14 Emveni koko wakha udonga olungaphandle lomzi kaDavide ngasentshonalanga, lwaya eGihon esihlanjeni, lwaya ekungeneni ngesango leentlanzi, wayizunguleza iOfele, waluphakamisa kakhulu. Wamisa abathetheli bempi emizini yonke enqatyisiweyo kwaYuda.
15 Wabasusa oothixo bolunye uhlanga nemifanekiso endlwini kaYehova, nezibingelelo zonke abezakhe entabeni yendlu kaYehova, naseYerusalem; waziphosa ngaphandle komzi.
16 Wakha isibingelelo sikaYehova, wabingelela phezu kwaso imibingelelo yoxolo neyombulelo; wathi kumaYuda makamkhonze uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli.
17 Abantu bebesabingelela noko ezigangeni; kodwa babingelela ke kuYehova uThixo wabo yedwa.
18 Ezinye izinto zikaManase, nomthandazo wakhe kuThixo, nokuthetha kweemboni ezibe zithetha kuye egameni likaYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, nanzo zisemicimbini yookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
19 Nomthandazo wakhe, nokuthandazeka kukaThixo nguye, nezono zakhe, nokumeneza kwakhe, neendawo awakhela kuzo iziganga, wamisa ooAshera nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo, engekazithobi, nanzo zibhaliwe emicimbini kaHozayi.
20 UManase walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa endlwini yakhe, uAmon, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
21 UAmon ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emibini engukumkani eYerusalem.
22 Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, njengoko wenza ngako uManase uyise. UAmon wabingelela kwimifanekiso yonke eqingqiweyo awayenzayo uManase uyise, wayikhonza.
23 Akazithobanga phambi koYehova, njengoko wazithobayo uManase uyise; ke yena lo Amon walikhulisa ityala.
24 Abakhonzi bakhe bamceba, bambulala endlwini yakhe.
25 Abantu belizwe bababulala bonke abacebi abo bokumkani uAmon. Abantu belizwe bamenza ukumkani uYosiya, unyana wakhe, esikhundleni sakhe.
