35 Yoshia apekenye Icakucilila+ ica kwa Yehova mu Yerusalemu, kabili baipeye inama she lambo lya Cakucilila+ pa bushiku bwalenga 14 ubwa mweshi wa kubalilapo.+ 2 Aebele bashimapepo ukuti batendeke ukubomba imilimo yabo kabili alibakoseleshe ukulabomba imilimo ya pa ng’anda ya kwa Yehova.+ 3 Lyena aebele abena Lebi abalesambilisha abena Israele bonse amafunde,+ kabili abali aba mushilo kuli Yehova ati: “Bikeni Icipao ca mushilo mu ng’anda iyo Solomone umwana wa kwa Davidi imfumu ya bena Israele akuulile.+ Tamulingile ukulacisenda pa mabeya yenu na kabili.+ Nomba mulebombela Yehova Lesa wenu na bantu bakwe abena Israele. 4 Kabili muipekanye mu ndupwa sha bashinwe ukulingana na mabumba mwabamo, nga fintu Davidi imfumu+ ya bena Israele na Solomone umwana wakwe balembele.+ 5 Mufwile ukwiminina mu cifulo ca mushilo ukulingana na mabumba mwabamo aya ndupwa sha bamunyinenwe, pa kuti kube ibumba lya bena Lebi ilya kubombela ulupwa lumo na lumo. 6 Mwipaye inama she lambo lya Cakucilila+ kabili muisangulule. Mupekanishishe na bamunyinenwe pa kuti bakonke ifyo Yehova alandile ukupitila muli Mose.”

7 Yoshia apeele abantu abalipo impaanga ishana ishilume ne mbushi ishana ishilume pa kuti bashituule ilambo lya Cakucilila. Ishi nama shonse shali 30,000 kabili abapeele ne ng’ombe 3,000. Ishi nama shonse bashifumishe pa nama sha mfumu.+ 8 Bacilolo bakwe nabo bapeele abantu, bashimapepo na bena Lebi umutuulo wa kuitemenwa. Hilkia,+ Sekaria, Yehiele abali intungulushi pa ng’anda ya kwa Lesa wa cine bapeele bashimapepo inama 2,600 isha kutuula amalambo ya pa Cakucilila, kabili babapeele ne ng’ombe 300. 9 Konania na Shemaya na Netanele bamunyina e lyo na Hashabia, Yeiele na Yosabadi abali intungulushi sha bena Lebi, nabo bapeele abena Lebi inama 5,000 isha kutuula amalambo ya pa Cakucilila, kabili babapeele ne ng’ombe 500.

10 Balipwishishe ukupekanya ifintu fyonse kabili bashimapepo baiminine mu fifulo fyabo. Abena Lebi nabo baiminine ukulingana na mabumba balimo,+ nga fintu imfumu yabebele. 11 Baipeye inama sha malambo ya pa Cakucilila+ kabili bashimapepo basanshile umulopa pa ciipailo uo abena Lebi babapeele.+ Abena Lebi bena balefunda inama.+ 12 Lyena bapekenye umutuulo wa koca pa kuti bawakanye ku bantu abashelepo abali mu mabumba ukulingana ne ndupwa sha bashibo, pa kuti nabo bautuule kuli Yehova ukulingana ne fyalembelwe mwi buuku lya kwa Mose. Ifi fine e fyo bacitile na pa kwakanya ing’ombe. 13 Baipike* inama sha mutuulo wa pa Cakucilila nga fintu balecita lyonse;+ kabili baipikile ifya mushilo mu mpoto, mu nongo na mu fya kwipikilamo fimbi, lyena bwangu bwangu baleteele abantu bonse. 14 Pa numa abena Lebi bali-ipekanishishe ilambo lya pa Cakucilila kabili bapekanishisheko na bashimapepo pantu bashimapepo abatuntwike muli Aarone baletuula amalambo ya koca na mafuta ukufika ubushiku. E ico abena Lebi bali-ipekanishishe ilambo lya pa Cakucilila kabili balipekanishisheko na bashimapepo abatuntwike muli Aarone.

15 Kabili bakemba abana ba kwa Asafi,+ bali pa fifulo fyabo nga fintu Davidi,+ Asafi,+ Hemani na Yedutuni+ uwalemwena imfumu ifimonwa balandile. Kabili abalelinda impongolo bali pa mpongolo shalekanalekana.+ Tabalingile ukuleka ukubomba umulimo wabo, pantu bamunyinabo abena Lebi balibapekanishishe ilambo lya pa Cakucilila. 16 E ico pali bulya bushiku balipekenye fyonse ifyo balingile ukupekanya, pa kuti bakwate Icakucilila+ ica kwa Yehova na pa kuti batuule imituulo ya koca pa ciipailo ca kwa Yehova, ukulingana ne fyo Imfumu Yoshia yalandile.+

17 Abena Israele abali mu Yerusalemu balikwete Icakucilila pali ilya nshita e lyo no Mutebeto wa Mukate Uushatutumuka pa nshiku 7.+ 18 Tabatalile abakwatapo Icakucilila ca musango yu mu Israele ukufuma ilyo Samwele kasesema ali uwa mweo, kabili takwali imfumu nangu imo mu Israele iyapekenyepo Icakucilila nge ci, ico Yoshia,+ bashimapepo, abena Lebi, abaYuda bonse, abena Israele abaishile mu Yerusalemu na baleikala mu Yerusalemu bapekenye. 19 Bakwete ici Icakucilila mu mwaka walenga 18 ukutula apo Yoshia atendekeele ukuteka.

20 Ilyo bapwishishe ifi fyonse kabili ilyo Yoshia awemye itempele,* Neko imfumu+ ya bena Egupti yalishile mu kulwa inkondo ku Karikemishi mupepi no mumana wa Yufrate. Lyena Yoshia alile mu kumulwisha.+ 21 E ico Neko atumine aba kuyaeba Yoshia ati: “Nshishile mu kulwa na iwe we mfumu ya baYuda. Lelo njishile mu kulwa no bufumu bumbi, kabili Lesa anjebele ukuti mfwile ukwangufyanya. Nga ulefwaya ukutwalilila ukuba uwa mweo, wilwisha Lesa uuli na ine pantu alekulofya.” 22 Yoshia tabwelelemo, lelo ali-ifungushenye+ pa kuti alwe nankwe kabili taumfwile amashiwi Neko amwebele ayo Lesa alandile. E ico aile mu kumulwisha mu Mpanga Iyabatama iya Megido.+

23 Abalepoosa imifwi balashile Imfumu Yoshia, kabili imfumu yaebele ababomfi ba iko aiti: “Mfumyeni kuno pantu nabancena sana.” 24 E ico ababomfi bakwe bamufumishe mwi celeta ali, bamubika mwi celeta lyakwe limbi ilya nkondo e lyo bamutwala ku Yerusalemu. E fyo Yoshia afwile kabili bamushiikile mu nshiishi ya fikolwe fyakwe.+ Kabili abaYuda bonse na bena Yerusalemu balooseshe Yoshia. 25 Yeremia+ aleimba inyimbo sha bulanda pa kuloosha Yoshia. Kabili bakemba+ abaume na banakashi balemba inyimbo sha bulanda pali Yoshia ukufika na lelo; balibikileko ne funde lya kuti ishi inyimbo baleshimba mu Israele, kabili balishilemba umo balemba inyimbo sha bulanda.

26 Amalyashi yambi aya kwa Yoshia, ifyo acitile ifyalelanga ukuti ali no kutemwa ukushipwa, ifyo alekonka ifyalembelwe mu mafunde ya kwa Yehova, 27 ne fintu fimbi ifyo acitile, ukufuma pa kutendeka ukufika na lintu afwile, balifilemba mwi Buuku lya Mfumu sha bena Israele ne sha baYuda.+
