1Mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri cha Yehu, Yowasi anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka makumi anayi. Amayi ake anali Zibiya wa ku Beeriseba. 2Yowasi anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova masiku onse amene wansembe Yehoyada ankamulangiza. 3Komabe sanachotse malo opembedzerapo mafano ndipo anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani ku malo opembedzerako mafanowo.
4Yowasi anati kwa ansembe, “Tolerani ndalama zonse zimene zimaperekedwa monga chopereka chopatulika ku Nyumba ya Yehova, ndalama zonse zamsonkho wa munthu aliyense, ndalama zomwe munthu amapereka akalonjeza ndiponso ndalama zimene munthu amapereka mwaufulu ku Nyumba ya Yehova. 5Wansembe aliyense alandire ndalamazo kuchokera kwa abwenzi ake, ndipo zigwiritsidwe ntchito yokonzera chilichonse chimene chipezeke kuti ndi chowonongeka mʼnyumbayo.”
6Koma pofika chaka cha 23 cha ufumu wa Yowasi, ansembewo anali asanakonze nyumbayo. 7Choncho Mfumu Yowasi inayitanitsa wansembe Yehoyada ndi ansembe ena ndipo inafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani simukukonza malo owonongeka a mʼnyumbayi? Musasungenso ndalama zina zochokera kwa abwenzi anu, koma muzipereke kuti akonzere nyumbayi.” 8Ansembe anavomera kuti salandiranso ndalama kuchokera kwa anthu ndipo kuti sindiwo amene ati akonzenso nyumbayo.
9Koma wansembe Yehoyada anatenga bokosi ndipo anabowola chivundikiro chake. Anayika bokosilo pambali pa guwa lansembe, kudzanja lamanja la aliyense amene akulowa mʼNyumba ya Yehovayo. Ansembe amene ankalondera pa khomopo ankaponya mʼbokosi ndalama zonse zimene ankabwera nazo ku nyumba ya Yehova. 10Nthawi zonse akaona kuti mʼbokosimo muli ndalama zambiri, mlembi wa mfumu ndi mkulu wa ansembe ankabwera ndipo ankawerenga ndalama zomwe anthu ankabwera nazo ku Nyumba ya Yehova ndi kuziyika mʼmatumba. 11Ankati akadziwa kuti ndalamazo zilipo zingati, ankazipereka kwa anthu amene ankayangʼanira ntchito yokonza nyumbayo. Ndalamazo ankalipira anthu amene ankagwira ntchito yokonza Nyumba ya Yehova, amisiri a matabwa ndi amisiri omanga nyumba, 12amisiri a miyala ndiponso anthu ophwanya miyala. Iwo ankagula matabwa ndi miyala yosema yokonzera Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo ankalipira zinthu zonse zofunika pokonzanso nyumbayo.
13Koma ndalama zomwe anthu ankabwera nazo ku nyumbayo sanagulire siliva wopangira mabeseni, zozimitsira nyale, mbale zowazira magazi, malipenga kapena ziwiya zina zilizonse zagolide kapena zasiliva za ku Nyumba ya Yehova. 14Ndalamazi anazipereka kwa anthu antchito amene anazigwiritsa ntchito yokonzera nyumbayo. 15Koma sanawafunse kuti afotokoze kagwiritsidwe ntchito ka ndalama zolipira amene ankagwira ntchito, chifukwa anthuwo ankagwira ntchitoyo mokhulupirika kwambiri. 16Ndalama zomwe zinkaperekedwa pa nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nsembe yoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo sanabwere nazo ku Nyumba ya Yehova pakuti zinali za ansembe.
17Pa nthawi imeneyo, Hazaeli, mfumu ya Aramu anapita kukathira nkhondo mzinda wa Gati nawulanda. Kenaka Hazaeli anatembenuka kupita kukathira nkhondo mzinda wa Yerusalemu. 18Koma Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anatenga zinthu zonse zopatulika zomwe anazipatula Yehosafati, Yehoramu, ndi Ahaziya abambo ake, mafumu a Yuda ndi mphatso zonse zomwe iye mwini anazipereka: golide yense amene anapezeka mʼnyumba yosungiramo chuma cha mʼnyumba ya Yehova ndi zomwe zinali mʼnyumba ya mfumu, nazipereka kwa Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu. Pamenepo iye anachoka ku Yerusalemuko.
19Ndipo ntchito zina za Yowasi ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? 20Akuluakulu ake anamuchitira chiwembu ndi kumupha ku Beti Milo, pa njira yotsikira ku Silo. 21Yozakara mwana wa Simeati ndi Yehozabadi mwana wa Someri atumiki ake anamukantha nafa. Ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Amaziya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

112:1 2Bk 11:2Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yeeku, Yekoyaasi, nnyina nga ye Zebbiya ow’e Beeruseba, n’atandika okuba kabaka, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana mu Yerusaalemi. 2Yekoyaasi n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, ebbanga lyonna, kubanga Yekoyaada kabona ye yamuyigirizanga. 312:3 1Bk 3:3; 2Bk 14:4; 15:35; 18:4Wabula, ebifo ebigulumivu tebyaggibwawo, n’abantu ne beeyongeranga okuwaayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezanga obubaane ku bifo ebyo.
412:4 a 2Bk 22:4 b Kuv 35:5 c Kuv 30:12 d Kuv 35:29; 1By 29:3-9Awo Yekoyaasi n’agamba bakabona nti, “Mukuŋŋaanye ensimbi zonna ezireetebwa ng’ebiweebwayo ebitukuzibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ensimbi ez’omusolo buli muntu z’awaayo, n’ensimbi buli muntu z’awaayo ng’endobolo mu yeekaalu, n’ensimbi buli muntu ze yeesalira kyeyagalire, n’azireeta mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, 5n’oluvannyuma buli kabona addire ezo z’akuŋŋaanyizza aziweeyo okuddaabiriza buli aweetaagisa ku yeekaalu.”
6Naye oluvannyuma lw’emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu egy’obufuzi bwa kabaka Yekoyaasi, bakabona ne baba nga tebannaddaabiriza yeekaalu. 7Awo kabaka Yekoyaasi12:7 Mu kiseera kino Yekoyaasi yali wa myaka amakumi asatu n’atumya Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu ne bakabona abalala, n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki ekibalobera okuddaabiriza yeekaalu? Kale nno, mulekeraawo okutoola ku nsimbi ezikuŋŋaanyizibwa, naye muziweeyo olw’okuddaabiriza yeekaalu.” 8Bakabona ne bakkiriziganya obutaddayo kukuŋŋaanya nsimbi ku bantu, wadde bo bennyini okuvunaanyizibwa okuddaabiriza yeekaalu.
912:9 a Yer 35:4 b 2By 24:8; Mak 12:41; Luk 21:1Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu n’addira essanduuko n’awumula ekituli mu kisaanikizo kyayo, n’agiteeka ku luuyi olwa ddyo okumpi n’ekyoto okuliraana n’awayingirirwa. Bakabona abaakuumanga omulyango ne bateekangamu ensimbi zonna ezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. 1012:10 2Sa 8:17Awo bwe baalabanga ng’ensimbi ezireeteddwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ziweze nnyingi mu ssanduuko, omuwandiisi wa kabaka ne kabona asinga obukulu ne bajjanga okuzibala n’okuzitereka. 11N’oluvannyuma ensimbi ezo baazikwasanga abasajja abaali baweereddwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga omulimu ogwakolebwanga ku yeekaalu, bo ne basasulanga abakozi, n’abazimbi abaabulijjo, n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’abatema amayinja, abo bonna nga baddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama. 1212:12 2Bk 22:5-6Ate era ku ezo ensimbi kwe baagulanga embaawo, n’amayinja amabajje okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama n’olwebirala ebyetaagisanga mu kuddaabiriza okwo.
1312:13 1Bk 7:48-51; 2By 24:14Ensimbi ezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu tezaakozesebwanga kukola bensani eza ffeeza, oba ebisalako ebisirinza, oba ebibya, oba amakondeere wadde ekintu kyonna ekya zaabu oba ffeeza ebyabeeranga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama; 14kubanga baazisasulanga abakozi abaali baddaabiriza yeekaalu. 1512:15 2Bk 22:7; 1Ko 4:2Era kyali tekyetagisa abasajja be baakwasa ensimbi, okulaga enkozesa y’ensimbi ezo kubanga baakolanga n’obwesigwa. 1612:16 a Lv 5:14-19; Kbl 18:9 b Lv 4:1-35 c Lv 7:7Ensimbi ezaavanga mu biweebwayo eby’okulumiriza n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi tezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, zaabanga za bakabona.
1712:17 2Bk 8:12Mu biro ebyo Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli n’alumba ekibuga ky’e Gaasi, n’akiwamba, n’oluvannyuma n’atandika okulumba n’e Yerusaalemi. 1812:18 a 1Bk 15:18; 2By 21:16-17 b 1Bk 15:21Naye Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Yuda n’addira ebintu byonna ebyatukuzibwa Yekosafaati, ne Yekolaamu ne Akaziya bajjajjaabe bassekabaka ba Yuda, n’ebirabo bye yali awonze, ne zaabu yonna eyali mu mawanika, n’abiggya mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’abiweereza Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Oluvannyuma Kazayeeri n’alekayo okulumba Yerusaalemi.
19Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yekoyaasi, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? 2012:20 a 2Bk 14:5 b 2By 24:25 c Bal 9:6Abaami be ne beekobaana, ne bamuttira mu nnyumba ey’e Miiro, ku kkubo eriserengeta e Siiro. 21Abaali mu lukwe olwo baali Yozakali mutabani wa Simeyaasi ne Yekozabadi mutabani wa Someri, era be baamutta. N’afa n’aziikibwa awali bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Amaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
