Paanonyeverwazve, anonyaradza muprofita, anotsvaka kurwa neIsraeri, uye anorasikirwa namambo, rusvingo nepfuma.
25 1Amazia akava mambo ava namakore makumi maviri namashanu, akatonga kwamakore makumi maviri namapfumbamwe muJerusarema. Mai vake vainzi Jehoadhani wokuJerusarema. 2Akaita zvakarurama pamberi paBaba vedu, asi kwete nomwoyo wake wose. 3Umambo pahwakanga hwava hwake zvakasimba, akauraya varanda vakanga vauraya baba vake mambo.
4Asi haana kuuraya vana vavo, sezvazvakanyorwa muMurayiro, mubhuku raMozisi, maBaba vedu vakarayira vachiti, “Vabereki havafaniri kufa nokuda kwavana vavo, kana vana nokuda kwavabereki vavo; mumwe nomumwe anofa nokuda kwechivi chake.”
5Amazia akaunganidza vaJudha, akavaronga maererano nedzimba dzamadzitateguru pasi pavakuru vezviuru navanezana, kuvaJudha vose navaBhenjamini. Akaverenga avo vaiva namakore makumi maviri zvichikwira: varume zviuru mazana matatu vakasarudzwa vakakodzera hondo, vaigona kubata pfumo nenhoo. 6Akapindawo varwi vane simba zviuru zana vokuIsraeri nesirivha inenge mapaundi zviuru zvinomwe namazana mashanu. 7Murume waBaba vedu akauya kwaari, achiti, “Mambo, musarega hondo yavaIsraeri ichienda nemi, nokuti Baba vedu havasi navaIsraeri, ivo vaEfuremu vose ava. 8Kunyange mukarwa noushingi, Baba vedu vachakuwisirai pasi pamberi pomuvengi, nokuti Baba vedu vane simba rokubatsira kana rokuwisira pasi.”
9Amazia akabvunza murume waBaba vedu, achiti, “Asi zvakadini nesirivha inenge mapaundi zviuru zvinomwe namazana mashanu yandakapa hondo yavaIsraeri?” Akapindura akati, “Baba vedu vanogona kukupai zvakawanda kupfuura izvi.”
10Saka Amazia akadzosera kumba hondo yakanga yauya kwaari ichibva kuEfuremu. Vakatsamwira vaJudha kwazvo, vakadzokera kumba vakatsamwa kwazvo.
11Asi Amazia akatsunga mwoyo, akatungamirira vanhu vake kuMupata woMunyu, akauraya varume zviuru gumi vokuSeiri. 12VaJudha vakatapawo zviuru gumi vari vapenyu, vakavaisa pamusoro pedombo refu, vakavakanda pasi, vakavaputsanya vose. 13Zvichakadaro, hondo yakanga yadzoswa naAmazia, asingaitenderi kubatana muhondo, yakapamba maguta avaJudha kubva kuSamaria kusvika kuBheti-horoni, yakauraya vanhu zviuru zvitatu, yakatakura zvakapambwa zvizhinji.
14Amazia paakakunda vaEdhomu, akadzoka navamwari vavanhu veSeiri, akavamisa kuti vave vamwari vake, akavapfugamira, akavapisira zvibayiro. 15Saka kutsamwa kwaBaba vedu kwakamukira Amazia, vakatuma muprofita, akati, “Seiko muchitsvaka vamwari vavanhu ava, vasina kugona kununura vanhu vavo paruoko rwenyu?”
16Paakanga achitaura, mambo akati, “Takakuita gurukota ramambo here? Rega! Unodireiko kuurayiwa?” Muprofita akarega asi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Baba vedu vafunga kukuparadzai, nokuti maita izvi mukasateerera zano rangu.”
17Amazia mambo weJudha akabvunza vapi vemazano vake, ipapo akatumira shoko kuna Joashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi, mwanakomana waJehu, mambo weIsraeri, achiti, “Uyai, ngatitarisanei muhondo.”
18Joashi mambo weIsraeri akapindura Amazia mambo weJudha achiti, “Rukato rweRebhanoni rwakatumira shoko kumusidhari weRebhanoni, ruchiti, ‘Ipa mwanasikana wako kumwanakomana wangu ave mukadzi.’ Asi mhuka yesango yeRebhanoni yakapfuura, ikatsika-tsika rukato. 19Iwe wakati, ‘Tarira, ndakunda Edhomu,’ mwoyo wako ukazvikudza, uchizvirumbidza. Gara kumba. Unotsvakireiko njodzi kuti uwe—iwe neJudha pamwe chete newe?”
20Asi Amazia akaramba kuteerera—izvi zvakabva kuna Baba vedu, kuti vavaise mumaoko omuvengi nokuda kwokutsvaka kwavo vamwari veEdhomu. 21Saka Joashi mambo weIsraeri akakwira, iye naAmazia mambo weJudha vakatarisana paBheti-shemeshi iri muJudha. 22VaJudha vakakundwa navaIsraeri, mumwe nomumwe akatizira kumba kwake.
23Joashi mambo weIsraeri akatapa Amazia mambo weJudha, mwanakomana waJoashi, mwanakomana waJehoahazi, paBheti-shemeshi, akamuendesa kuJerusarema, akaputsa rusvingo rwayo kubva paSuo raEfuremu kusvika paSuo reKona—inenge mamita mazana maviri. 24Akatora goridhe rose, nesirivha, nemidziyo yose yakawanikwa mumba maBaba vedu yakanga ichengetwa naObhedhi-edhomu, pamwe chete nepfuma yomumuzinda nevanhu vakatapwa, akadzokera kuSamaria.
25Amazia mwanakomana waJoashi, mambo weJudha, akararama kwamakore gumi namashanu shure kwokunge Joashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi, mambo weIsraeri, afa. 26Zvimwe zvakaitwa naAmazia, kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira, hazvina kunyorwa here muBhuku raMadzimambo eJudha neIsraeri? 27Shure kwokunge Amazia atsauka pakutevera Baba vedu, vakamurangana muJerusarema, akatizira kuRakishi. Asi vakatuma varume kumutevera ikoko, vakamuuraya. 28Vakamudzosa akatakurwa namabhiza, vakamuviga namadzitateguru ake muGuta reJudha.
