1. Ngomnyaka wesibini kaYehohashe unyana kaYehowahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, waba ngukumkani uAmatsiya, unyana kaYowashe ukumkani wakwaYuda.
2. Ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anesithoba engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguYehowadan waseYerusalem.
3. Wenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova; kodwa akaba njengoDavide uyise; wenza njengako konke awakwenzayo uYowashe uyise.
4. Kodwa zona izigánga azisuswanga; abantu babesabingelela beqhumisela ezingangeni.
5. Wathi, bakuqiniseka ubukumkani esandleni sakhe, wababulala abakhonzi bakhe ababembulele ukumkani uyise.
6. Ke oonyana bababulali abo akababulalanga, njengoko kubhaliweyo encwadini yomyalelo kaMoses, apho uYehova wayewise umthetho wokuthi, Ooyise mabangabulawa ngenxa yoonyana, oonyana mabangabulawa ngenxa yooyise; elowo makabulawe ngesakhe isono.
7. Wawabulala amaEdom eSihlanjeni seTyuwa, ishumi lamawaka. Wayithimba ingxondorha ngokulwa; wathi igama layo yiYoketele unanamhla.
8. Waza uAmatsiya wathumela abathunywa kuYehohashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, unyana kaYehu, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, esithi, Yiza siqwalaselane ngamehlo.
