9. UAmatsiya wathi kumfo wakwaThixo, Liya kuthiwani na ikhulu leetalente, endalinika umkhosi wamaSirayeli? Wathi umfo wakwaThixo, UYehova angákunika okuninzi kunoko.
10. UAmatsiya ke wayahlula impi leyo yayize kuye, ivela kwaEfrayim, ukuba iye endaweni yayo. Wavutha umsindo wayo kunene ngakumaYuda; babuya baya endaweni yabo bevutha ngumsindo.
11. UAmatsiya wazomeleza, wabaqhuba abantu bakhe, waya eSihlanjeni seTyuwa, wabulala koonyana bakwaSehire ishumi lamawaka.
12. Oonyana bakaYuda balithimba elinye ishumi lamawaka lihleli; babása encotsheni yengxondorha leyo, babaphosa phantsi encotsheni yengxondorha, badlabhuka bonke bephela.
13. Ke abomkhosi awababuyisayo uAmatsiya, ukuba bangàyi naye ekulweni, bayingenela imizi yakwaYuda, bethabathela kwaSamari, besa eBhete-horon, babulala kuyo amawaka amathathu, baphanga into eninzi yamaxhoba.
14. Kwathi emva kokubuya kuka-Amatsiya ekuwabulaleni amaEdom, wezisa izithixo zoonyana bakwaSehire, wazimisa ukuba zibe zizithixo zakhe, waqubuda phambi kwazo, waqhumisela kuzo.
15. Wavutha umsindo kaYehova kuAmatsiya, wathumela umprofeti kuye, wathi kuye, Yini na ukuba uquqele izithixo zabantu ezingabahlangulanga abantu bazo esandleni sakho?
16. Kwathi esathetha naye, ukumkani wathi kuye, Sikumisile yini na ukuba ube ngumphakathi wokumkani? Yeka; yini na ukuba uzibethise. Wayeka umprofeti wathi, Ndiyazi ukuba uThixo ugqibé kwelokuba akutshabalalise, ngokuba ukwenzile oku, akwaliphulaphula icebo lam.
17. UAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda wathabatha icebo, wathumela kuYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, unyana kaYehu, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Khawuze siqwalaselane ngamehlo.
18. UYowashe ukumkani wamaSirayeli wathumela kuAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, wathi, Ikhakakhaka eliseLebhanon lathumela kumsedare* oseLebhanon, lisithi, Unyana wam mnike intombi yakho, ibe ngumkakhe. Ke irhamncwa laseLebhanon ladlula, lalibhuqa ikhakakhaka elo.
19. Ùthi, Yabona, ndiwabulele amaEdom; yakuphakamisa intliziyo yakho, ukuba uzizukise. Hlala kaloku endlwini yakho; yini na ukuba okunene ufekethe ngobubi, uwe, wena namaYuda anawe.
20. Akaphulaphula uAmatsiya; ngokuba oko kwakuphuma kuThixo, ukuze abanikele esandleni seentshaba zabo; ngokuba babequqele izithixo zakwaEdom.
21. Wenyuka ke uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; baqwalaselana ngamehlo, yena noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eBhete-shemeshe, ekwaYuda.
22. Atyelwa ke amaYuda ngamaSirayeli; asaba, yangulowo waya ententeni yakhe.
23. UYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wambamba uAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, unyana kaYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, eBhete-shemeshe, wamzisa eYerusalem; waluqhekeza udonga lwaseYerusalem, ethabathela esangweni lakwaEfrayim, wesa esangweni lembombo, iikubhite* ezimakhulu mané.
24. Wayithabatha yonke igolide, nesilivere, nempahla yonke eyafumanekayo endlwini kaThixo, ebino-Obhedi-edom, nobuncwane bendlu yokumkani, nabafo abazizibambiso, wabuyela kwaSamari.
25. UAmatsiya unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaYuda, emva kokufa kukaYowashe unyana kaYehowahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, waba minyaka ilishumi linesihlanu esidla ubomi.
