¹Abijah asendele ne fikolwe fyakwe, elyo bamushikile mu usumba wakwa Davidi. ²Asa, umwana wakwe, aishileba imfumu pacifulo cakwe. Muli ishi nshiku shakwe icalo cali tondolo pa myaka ikumi. Asa acitile ifisuma ne fyalungama mu menso yakwa Yahweh Lesa wakwe, ³ena afumishepo ifipailo fyabena fyalo ne fifulo fya pamuulu.

Ukufuma mu misumba yonse iya bena Yuda baishile ku kwipusha kuli Yahweh.⁵Elo Yeoshafati aiminineko pakati kebumba ilya bena Yuda na pabena Yerusalemu mubali mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh pantanshi ya musolo uwandakai. ⁶Alandile ati, ''we Yahweh, Lesa waba wafikolwe fyandi, Bushe tewebo Lesa uwaba mumulu? kabili bushe tewebo uuteka ama bufumu yonse aya munko? kabili bushe tekuboko kobe ukwakwata amaka o kukosa ica kuti takuli nangu umo uwingalwa na webo? ⁷Lesa wesu, bushe tewebo wemwine niwe wntamfishemo abaleikala muli cino calo ukufuma ku menso ya bantu bobe abena Isreali elo kabili no ku cipeela kuli bamwana Abrahamu, untu watemwa, ukufika kunshita ya kutwalilila?⁸Kabili emo batampile ukulaikala, no kukulila ishina lyobe ing'anda ya mushilo, no kulanda ati, ⁹''Nga cakweba ati ububi bwaisa pali fwebo-umupanga, ubupingushi ubwakalipa, icikuko, nangu icipowe- tukalaisa mu kwiminina pa menso yobe pali ino ng'anda pamulanda (we shina lyobe lyaba muli ino ng'anda), pakuti ngatwa kwata pali webo mukucula kwesu na webo kuti mwatumfwa no kutususha.'¹⁰Kabili nomba abana abaume abakwa Amoni, kabili na bana abaume abakwa Moabu na bali mu calo ica mu mpili ica Seiri, balya webo waleseshe Isreali ukubasansa ilyo balefuma mu calo ca Egypti; nomba balya lulwike bayapita kumbi kabili tabalofeshe. ¹¹Mona baletulambula fwebo; pakwisa mukutufumya mu calo ico mwapele kuli fwebo ukuba icalo cesu.¹²We Lesa wesu, bushe bena tawabapingule? pantu fwebo tatukwete amaka kuntanshi yaili bumba ilikulu ilileisa mu kulwisha fwebo.

Mona, kulya eko bakesapiluka munshila iyaya ku Sisi, kabili bena mukaya basanga palutwe lwa mupoka poka pantanshi ya matololo, pantanshi yamatololo ya Yerueri. ¹⁷Muli ululubuli tamufwile ukulwako. Mukatantamefye, mukeminine, mukamone ifyo ifyo Yahweh akamipususha, Awe mwebo mwebena Yuda na mwebena Yerusalemu, mwibatina nangu ukuba tutuma. Mailo mukayelwa nabo kabili Yahweh akaba na mwebo.''''¹⁸Awe Yeoshafati akontamine panshi ashimpa ne mpumi yakwe panshi. Kabili bonse abena Yuda na bonse abekala mu Yerusalemu abene beka waba panshi ku menso yakwa Yahweh no kukontama. ¹⁹Elo abena Lebi abana abaume abakwa Koati nabana abaume abakwa Kora baiminina balatasha Yahweh Lesa wabena Isreali mwishiwi ilikulu sana.²⁰Ubushiku bwakonkelepo balimine balicelelele ulucelo no kuya kku matololo ya ku Tekoa. Nomba ilyo balefuma, Yeoshafati aliminine no kulanda ati, ''Umfweni kuli nebo, bonse mwebena Yuda, na mwebo mwebekala mu Yerusalemu! Bikeni icitetekelo muli Yahweh Lesa wenu, pakweba ati mwenene mukakokole. Cetekeleni bakasesema bakwa elyo muli ku cimfya. ²¹Panuma ya kulanda na bantu abikile abakwimbila Yahweh ne mitulo yonse balelumbanya mufya kufwala ifya mushilo baletangilila abaume abali ne fyanso, bale landa ati, ''Mutasheni Yahweh, pantu icikuku cakwe ca kutwalilila.²²Kabili panshita ilyo batampile ukulumbanya no kutasha, Yahweh abikile abaume aba kufisamina abana abaume abena Amoni, na abena Moabu na baleikala mu citungu ca calo mpili icabena Seiri abaishile ku bena Yuda. Kabili baile mukulaiipaya abene beka. ²³Kabili abana abaume abakwa Amoni na bana abaume abakwa Moabu bailmine abaleikala mi citungu mu calo ca mpili ica bena Seiri ku kubalofya no kubonaula bena; kabili bwangu bwangu ilyo bapwile ukwipaya abaleikala mu Seiri, cila muntu baleafwana abene ukwipayana.²⁴Nomba ku bena Yuda, baishile ku lupungu ulwali mu matololo. Ilyo baloleshe amenso yabo kwibumba, mona, konse ukobali, kuli ifitumbi nafilala panshi; apashali nangu umo uwapuswike. ²⁵Elyo Yeoshafati na bantu bakwe baishile mu kusampa ifipe ifyali muli bena, kabili basangilemo ifipe ifingi muli bena pamo ne fya kufwala ne fipe ifisuma; kabili bapitile ifipe ifingi sana icakweba ati balifililwe ukupiita na fimbi.

Aba bonse bali abume bakwa Jehoshaphati, imfumu yabena Isreali. ³Wisabo alibapele ifyabupe ifikulu ifya silfere, golide, nafimbi ifyaluma umutengo, alundilepo ne misumba muli Yuda, nomba apele no bufuma kuli Jehoramu.⁴Nomba ilyo Jehoramu apilwike pa bufumu bwakwa wikshi aliikoseshe umwine nge mfumu, aipeye bamunyina bonse kulupanga, kabili pamo ne ntungulushi sha bena Isreali. ⁵Jehoramu ali ne mwaka amakumi yatatu na ibili elo atampile ukuteka, kabili atekele imwaka cine konse konse mu Yerusalemu.⁶Ena aendele munshila yashamfumu sha bena Isreali, kwali fintu ifyacitike abamung'anda yakwa Aabu, pantu alikwete umwana umwanakashi uwakwa Aabu untu aupile, kabili acitile icabipa mu menso yakwa Yahweh. ⁷Nangu cibe ifi, Yahweh talefwaya ukonaula aba mung'anda yakwa Davidi, pa mulandu wacipangano ico bacitile na Davidi; alaile ukuti lyonse alinokulapeela ubumi ubusuma kuli ena na kulupwa lwakwe.⁸Mu nshiku sha kwa Jehoramu, Edomu acitile impasase ukufuma mu kutungululwa na Yuda, kabili baicitile imfumu abene beka. ⁹Elyo Jehoramu aabwike pamo na bashilika bakwe na matolokoshi. Cali ubushiku elo apilwike no kuyalwa na bena Edomu ababa shingulwike na matolokoshi yabashilika. ¹⁰Awe abena Edomu baishile sanguka ukufuma mu kutungululwa na bena Yuda ukufika na ndakai.

Efyo Aasia umwana umwaume wakwa Yehoramu, imfumu ya bena Yuda, aishileba imfumu. ²Aasia akwete imyaka amakimi yabili na ibili ilyo atampile ukuteka; atekelefye umwaka umo mu Yerusalemu. Ishina lyakwa nyina ali ni Atalia; ali mwana umwanakashi wakwa Omuli. ³Nao wine aendele munshila sha bamung'anda yakwa Aabu pantu nyin ewalemupanda amano ukucita ifintu ifyabipa.⁴Aasia alecita ububi mu menso yakwa Yahweh, kwati fintu fyalecita aba mung'anda yakwa Aabu, pantu ebalemupanda amano panuma yamfwa yakwa wishi, kukonaula kwabo. ⁵Nao wine alekonka amano yabo; aile na Yoramu umwana umwaume uwakwa Aabu, imfumu yabena Isreali, kukulwa na Hazaele, imfumu ya bena Aramu, ku Rama Gilieti. Abena Arameani balicenene Yoramu.⁶Yoramu abwelele kukundapwa ifilonda ifyo akwete ku Rama, ilyo balelwa na Asaeli imfumu ya bena Aramu. Elyo Aasia umwana umwaume wakwa Yehoramu, imfumu ya bena Yuda, atelemukile Yezeeleli ku kumona Yoramu umwana umwaume wakwa Aabu, pantu Yoramu alikwete ifilonda.⁷Nomba ukonaula kwa kwa Ahaziah kwaletele ukufuma kuli Lesa ukupitila mu kutandala kwakwa Aasia kuli Yoramu. Ilyo afikile aile na Yehoramu ku kulwisha Yehu umwana umwaume uwakwa Nimushi, untu Yahweh asalile ukonaula ing'anda yakwa Aabu. ⁸Caishileba ifi, ilyo Yehu aletele ubupingulo bwakwa Lesa paba mung'anda yakwa Aabu, asangile intungulushi sha bena Yuda na bana abaume bakwa Aasia munyina abalebombela Aasia. Yehu ailibepeye.⁹Yehu aloleshe pali Aasia; balimwikete ailefisama ku Samalia, ena bamuletele kuli Yehu, no kumwipaya. Elyo balimushikile, pantu balandile ati, ''mwana umwaue wakwa Yehoshaphati, uwafwaile Yahweh no mutima wakwe onse.'' Eico ing'anda yyakwa Aasia tayakwete amaka kabli aya kutungulula ubufumu.¹⁰Nomba ilyo Atalia, nyina wakwa Aasia, amwene ati umwana wakwe umwaume nafw, ali mine nokwipaya bonse abana ba ku bufumu abamu ng'anda ya bena Yuda. ¹¹Nomba Yehosheba, umwana umwanakashi wa mfumu, mu bumfisolo abulile Yohashi umwana umwaume wakwa Aasia amusendele ukufuma pabana baume bamfumuu abo ali no kwipaiwa. Amubikile ena pamo no wale musunga ku kati. Elyo Yehosheba, umwana umwanakashi uwa mfumu Yehoramu, umukashi wakwa Yehoiada shimapepo (pantu ali ni nkashi yakwa Aasia), ali mufishile ukufuma kuli Atalia, pakuti Atalia emwipaya. ¹²Ali pamo na bena, abafishile mu ng'anda yakwa Lesa pa myaka mutanda, ninshi Atalia ewaleteka icalo.

Yehoiada alandile kuli bena ati, ''moneni, umwana umwaume uw mfumu akalateka, ifyo Yahweh alandile ukulosha kulupwa lwakwa Davidi.⁴Ifi efyo mufwile ukucita: shimapepo uwalnga butatu na bena Lebi abaisa mu kubomba pasabata bakaba aba kulinda pa minshi. ⁵Na bambi abalenga butatu bakaba pang'anda yamfumu, na bambi abalenga butatu bakaba pa mwinshi wa ciputa, abantu bonse bakaba pamusolo wa ng'anda yakwa Yahweh.⁶Mwikasuminisha nangu umo ukwisa mung'anda yakwa Yahweh, kanofye bashimapepo na bena Lebi abalebomba. Ebalingile ukwingila pantu ebapelwa insambu. Nomba abantu bambi bafwile ukulaumfwila amakambisho yyakwa Yahweh. ⁷Abena Lebi bena bakashinguluke imfumu mu mbali shonse, cila muntu akakwete icanso mu minwe yakwe. Onse uwaisa mu ng'anda, ena akafwe. Iikaleni ne mfumu ilyo yaisa mukati nelyo yaya kunse.''⁸Elyo abena Lebi na bena Yuda bonse babombele fyonse ukulingana nefyo Yehoiada shimapepo abakonkomeshe. Cila muntu asendele umwaume wakwe, bonse abaleisa mukubomba pasabata, na bonse abalefuma mukubombela pasabata, pantu Yehoiada shimapepo tasuminishe nangu bamo ukulekana. ⁹Elyo Yehoiada shimapepo aletele abashilika amafumo ifyakucinga umubili ifinono ne fikalamba ifyakwete Davidi ifyali mung'anda yakwa Yahweh.¹⁰Yehoiada abikile abashilika bonse mufifulo, cila muntu ne canso mu minwe yakwe, ukufuma ku kulyo lubali lw ng'anda yakw Lesa ukufika kukuso lubali lw ng'anda yakwa Lesa, mumbali ya cipailo elyo ne ng'anda yakwa Lesa, ukushinguluka imfumu. ¹¹Elyo abaletele umwna wamfumu umwaume, babikile icibalika pali ena, kabili bapele ena ifipope fya cipangano. elyo bamucitile imfumu, kabili Yehoiada na bana bakwe abaume bali musubile, Elyo balanda ati, ''utwlilile ukwikala we mfumu.''¹²Ilyo Atalia aumfwile icongo ca bantu abalebutuka no kulumbanya imfumu, aishile ku bantu abali mung'anda yakwa Yahweh, ¹³kabili aliloleshe, kabili, moneni, imfumu yali na iminina pa lucenshi lwakwe pa mwinshi, Abantu bonse aba mu calo balesekelela balelisha na mapenga, kabili bakemba baleanala ifilimba fya nyimbo no kutungulula abaleimba no kutasha. nomba Atalia alpwile ifyakufwala fyakwe nokupunda, ''kupondoka! kupondoka!''¹⁴Elyo Yehoiada shimapepo afumishe panse abashilika abakalamba abapa ng'anda abalengalila abashilika no kulanda kuli bena ati, ''Mufumisheni panse pe bumba lya bantu; onse uulemukonka ena alingile ukwipaya ku lupanga.'' pantu shimapepo na landa, ''mwi mwipaila mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh.'' ¹⁵Elyo bali mwikete ilyo aleya mu kwingila pa mwinshi waba kabalwe aba ng'anda ya mfumu, kabili palya epo bamwipaile.¹⁶Elyo Yehoiada acitile icipangano pakati kakwe umwine, abantu bonse, ne mfumu, ukuti bali no kuba abantu bakwa Yahweh. ¹⁷Elyo abantu bonse baile ku ng'anda yakwa Baali no kwiitoba yawa panshi. Babongolwele ifipailo fyakwa Baali ne fimpashanya fyakwe tunono tunono, kabili baipeye Matani shimapepo wakwa Baali, kuntanshi yafipailo fyonse.¹⁸Yehoiada asontele bashimilimo aba ng'anda yakwa Yahweh mu minwe yaba shimapepo, bali abena Lebi, abo Davidi asontele aba mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh, aba kutula imitulo yakoca kuli Yahweh, ifyo calembwa mu mafunde yakwa Mose, bonse balesekelela no kwimba, ifyo Davidi abalangilile. ¹⁹Yehoiada abikile abalelinda pa mwinshi wa ng'anda yakwa Yahweh, pakuti takuli nangu umo uwakowela ukwingilamo.²⁰Yehoiada ena abulile abakalamba babashilika aba pang'anda, abantu aba mano, bakateka ba bantu, na bantu bonse aba mu calo. Atelemwishe imfumu ukufuma ku ng'anda yakwa Yahweh; abantu baishile ukupita imfumu pacitebe ca bufumu. ²¹Elyo abantu bonse aba mu calo basendele, na mu musumba mwalitondolo.

Ishina lyakwa nyina ali ni Sibila, uwaku Beelesheba. ²Yoashi acitile icisuma mu menso yakwa Yahweh inshiku shonse ishakwa Yehoiada, shimapepo. ³Yehoiada ena abulile abakashi babili, kabili aishileba wishi wa bana abaume nabana abanakashi.⁴Panuma yaifi, Yeashi asalile ukubwesha ing'andayakwa Yahweh. ⁵Akolonganye pamo bashimapepo nabena Lebi, kabili alandile kuli bena ati, ''kabiyeni mulefuma cila mwaka mu misumba ya bena Yuda no kulonganika kui bonse abena Isreali ulupiya lwa ku wamisha ing'anda yakwa Lesa. mushininkishe ukuti mwatampa ililine.'' Abena Lebi tabacitile nangu cimo pakubaala.⁶Elyo imfumu yakutile Yehoiada shimapepo mukalamba no kulanda kuli ena ati, ''cinshi taufwaile ku bena Lebi ukuleta muno ukufuma mu bena Yuda na mu Yerusalemu umusonko uutu Mose umubomfi wakwa Yahweh napa balongene abena Isreali mu matenti yacipope ca cipangano?'' ⁷Pantu abana abaume abakwa Atalia, umwanakashi umubifi, alyonawile ing'anda yakwa Lesa no kupela fyonse ifintu ifya mushilo ifya mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh kuli ba Baali.⁸Elyo imfumu yalikonkomeshe, kabili bapangile icipao bacibikile panse pa kwingila mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh. ⁹Elyo bacitile ukubilikisha mu bena Yuda na bena Yerusalemu, pakuti abantu balete umusanko kuli Yahweh untu Mose umubomfi wakwa Lesa alandile kuli Isreali mu matololo. ¹⁰Bonse intungulushi na bantu bonse balisekelele ukuleta ulupiya mukati no kulubika mu cipao mpaka bapwa ukwisushisha ici.¹¹Icacitike cakweba ati nangu icipao caliletelwe kuli bashmilimo ba mfumu mu minwe ya bena Lebi, kabili apo balimwene ukuti mwali ulupiya ulwingi mukati, bakalemba ba mfumu naba shimapepo bakalamba bashimilimo balishile, no kufumyamo mu cipao, kabili no kucisenda ukucibwesesha apo cali.

Ulu lupiya lwabombele ukupangilamo ifipe ifya mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh, ifyakubomfya pakubomba na pakupanga imitulo-basupuni na ifya kubomfya ifya golide na silfere. Baletula imitulo iya koca mu ng'anda yakwa Yahweh mu kutwalilila ,inshiku shonse ishakwa Yehoiada.¹⁵Yehoiada asukwa akota kabili inshiku shafula, elyo alifwile; akwete imyaka 130 ilyo afwile. ¹⁶Baile mushika mu musumba wakwa Davidi ukwaleshikwa ishamfumu, pantu alicitile icisuma mu bena Isreali, kuli Lesa, na ku ng'anda yakwa Lesa.¹⁷Nomba panuma Yehoiada nafwa, intungulushi shabena Yuda balishile no kucita umucinshi ku mfumu, elyo imfumu yalyumfwile kuli bena. ¹⁸Balekeleshe ing'anda yakwa Yahweh, Lesa wa fikolwe fyabo, kabili balepepa Ashela ka lesa ne filubi.

Fwebo tupokelela ubusuma ukutula kuli Lesa no ku kana pokelelako ifibi awe?'' Muli iyi milandu yonse, Yobotabembwike ku milomo yakwe.¹¹Nomba ilyo ababiye bakwa Yobo batatu baumfwile ku bubi bonse ubo ubwaishile pali ena, cila umo pali bena aalishile ukufuma ku cifulo cakwe umwine; Elifasi umwina Temani, Bildadi umwina Shuli, na Sofari umwina Naamati.
