UBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya wasebutha ibutho lakhe lonke, elamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili, lamabhiza lezinqola. Wenyuka wayavimbezela iSamariya, walwa layo.
2 Benhadad in Israel lengpa Ahab hengah mi asollin, thu ana thot in, “Hiche Benhadad kiti pan kasei ahi,
Wathuma izithunywa kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, emzini, wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi:

Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Njengokwelizwi lakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngingowakho, lakho konke engilakho.
5 Benhadad in gangtah in adonbutna thu chu athot kit in, “Hiche Benhadad keima thuthot ahi, na sana leh na dangka chu leh naji na chate neipeh ding ahi tia, thu kapehsa nahitai.
Izithunywa zasezibuyela zathi: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi uthi: Lanxa ngithumele kuwe ngisithi: Isiliva sakho legolide lakho labafazi bakho labantwana bakho, kunike mina;
6 Ahinlah, jing nikho tuphat tah leh, naleng inpi le navaipote in jouse khol’a thil manlua agel jouseu kilah dia kavaipote kahinsol ding ahi,” agatisah kit in ahi.

7 Hiche jou chun Ahab in agamsung upa chingthei ho jouse akhomin, amaho koma chun, “Veuvin hichepa hin eisuboi lheh jeng un ahi! Aman aki ngeh bangin keiman ka sana leh ka dangka chu leh kaji ka chate chu kana phalpeh tan ahi,” ati.
Ngakho inkosi yakoIsrayeli yabiza bonke abadala belizwe yathi: Ake linanzelele libone ukuthi lo udinga ububi, ngoba uthumele kimi ngabafazi bami langabantwana bami langesiliva sami langegolide lami, njalo kangimalelanga.
8 Amipite leh upa chingthei ho chun, “Hiche kal val chun imacha phalpeh tahih in,” atipeh un ahi.
Bonke abadala labo bonke abantu basebesithi kuyo: Ungalaleli, njalo ungavumi.

Wasesithi kuzo izithunywa zikaBenihadadi: Tshelani inkosi yami, inkosi ukuthi: Konke eyakuthumela encekwini yayo kuqala ngizakwenza; kodwa linto kangilamandla okuyenza. Izithunywa zasezihamba, zayibuyisela ilizwi.
10 Hichun Benhadad in Ahab chu hiti hin thu athot kit’e, “Keiman na khopi Samaria hi vogoihel’a ahalsi sia khut’a choidoh kham mihem kahin puilut ding kasuhmang ding ahi. Hichu kaboldoh lou le ka hou pathenten eithat jeng hen!” ati.
UBenihadadi wasethumela kuye wathi: Kabenze njalo onkulunkulu kimi, bengezelele njalo, uba ubhuqu lweSamariya lungenela izandla ezigcweleyo zabo bonke abantu abangilandelayo.
11 Israel lengpa Ahab in ahin donbut in, “Galmun’a galsat dia sepai khat in a chemjam akipoh nung’a, galsat chaisa ho ham hoithoa thucheng chu bol ngai ahipoi, tin seipeh un,” ati.

Kwasekusithi esizwa lelilizwi esanatha, yena lamakhosi emadumbeni, wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Zimiseni! Zasezizimisa ukumelana lomuzi.
13 Hiche kah lah chun, themgao khat Israel lengpa Ahab kimupi din achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin thu aseiye, ‘Hiche galmi hon tamtah hokhu numu am? Tunia amaho khu nangma khutna ka pehdoh ding chule galjona na nei ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangman keima hi Pakai kitipa chu kahi nei hetdoh ding ahi,” ati.
Khangela-ke, umprofethi othile wasondela kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uyalibona lelixuku lonke elikhulu yini? Khangela, ngizalinikela esandleni sakho lamuhla, njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.

UAhabi wasesithi: Ngobani? Wasesithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngamajaha abaphathi bezabelo. Wasesithi: Ngubani ozaqalisa impi? Wasesithi: Wena.
15 Hichun Ahab in gambih vaipo ho chu asimtoh leh, mi jani le somthum le ni ahiuvin ahi. Chujouvin Israel sepai jouse chu asimtoh leh sang sagi alhing in ahi.
Wasebala amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, ayengamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili; lemva kwawo wabala bonke abantu, bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.
16 Sunkim dontah chun, Benhadad leh aki loipi Leng som le ni hochun aponbuh sung uvah ju anadon khom’un ahi.
Basebephuma emini, uBenihadadi esenathe wadakwa emadumbeni, yena lamakhosi, amakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayemsiza.
17 Hichun gambih lamkaiho chu khopi sunga kon chun ahung kitoldoh masapen un ahileh, Benhadad sepai ho chun akom a Samaria konin sepai phabep ahung kitol doh uve atin ahileh,
Amajaha abaphathi bezabelo asephuma kuqala. UBenihadadi wasethuma, basebemtshela besithi: Kuphume amadoda eSamariya.
18 Benhadad in, “Amaho chu chamna a hung hiu hen lang, galsat dinga hung hi jong leu ahing in man poupouvin,” ati.
Wasesithi: Loba ephumele ukuthula, abambeni ephila; loba-ke ephumele impi, abambeni ephila.

Babulala, ngulowo lalowo umuntu wakhe. AmaSamariya asebaleka, uIsrayeli wasexotshana lawo, kodwa uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya waphunyuka ngebhiza kanye labagadi bamabhiza.
21 Ahiyeng vang'in, Israel lengpa chun Syria sakol dang holeh sakol kangtalai ho chu ana ban suhmang peh tan ahi.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphuma, yatshaya amabhiza lenqola, yatshaya phakathi kwamaSiriya ngokubulala okukhulu.
22 Phat chomkhat jouvin themgaopa chun, Ahab Lengpa kom ah, “Na hung nokhum kit di’u ahin kigingphan, Syria lengpa chun khovei chavang phatleh hung kit ding ahi hijeh chun thilho kigontoh in,” ati.
Lowomprofethi wasesondela enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi kuyo: Hamba, uziqinise, unanzelele njalo ubone okwenzayo; ngoba ekuthwaseni komnyaka inkosi yeSiriya izakwenyuka imelane lawe.
23 Agal-lal jou nung in, agal lamkai hon Benhadad jah’a, “Israelte Pathen hi thinglhang gam Pathen ahiuve, hijeh achu thinglhanga eijo’u ahi. Phaicham a kisatpi leuhen bailamtah a gal ijo jeng diu ahi,” atiuve.
Lezinceku zenkosi yeSiriya zathi kuyo: Onkulunkulu babo bangonkulunkulu bezintaba, yikho belamandla kulathi; kube kanti asilwe labo emagcekeni, sibili sizabehlula.
24 “Hiche chung’a a bou hin leng ho athunei nauva konin haisah in lang, akhel in sepai lamkai ho pansah in,” atiuve.
Ngakho yenza linto: Susa amakhosi, ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, ubeke izinduna esikhundleni sawo;
25 “Sepai alhasam jat hi subulhing kit’in, sepaite sakol leh kangtalai te atil ajat maman subulhing kit in, chuteng leh phaicham ah kisatpi leu veng kajo teidiu ahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Benhadad in jong angaichat bang’un abolpeh soh tan ahi.
njalo wena zibalele ibutho njengebutho eliwileyo kuwe, lebhiza njengebhiza, lenqola njengenqola; njalo sizakulwa labo emagcekeni, isibili sizabehlula. Yasilalela ilizwi labo, yenza njalo.
26 A kumkit chavang lai ahiphat in, Syria sepaite asemtoh sohkeiyin Israelte kisatpi dingin tuchung hin Aphek lang jon tauvin ahi.
Kwasekusithi ekuthwaseni komnyaka uBenihadadi wabala amaSiriya, wenyukela eAfeki ekulweni loIsrayeli.
27 Isrtaelte jong aki semtoh un, neh leh chah jong hoitah’in akigon toh’un, galsat dingin ahung kitol tauve in ahi. Ahinlah Israel sepaite alhomdan uchu, kelcha hon lhomcha ni kijotna toh abang un ahi. Syria sepaite vang chu gamsung pumpi adim lha jeng un ahi.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli babalwa-ke, banikwa imiphako, basebephuma ukumelana lawo; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bamisa inkamba phambi kwawo njengemihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kodwa amaSiriya agcwala ilizwe.
28 Hichun Pathen mipa chun Israel lengpa kom’ah achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Syria sepaiten hiti hin aseiyun ahi, a Pakai’u khu thinglhang Pathen ahin, phaicham Pathen ahipoi. Hijeh chun hiche sepai tamtah tehi kajopeh diu ahi, chutengleh nang hon Pakai kahi chu nei het doh dio ahi,” ati.
Kwasekusondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wakhuluma enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngenxa yokuthi amaSiriya athe: INkosi inguNkulunkulu wezintaba, kodwa kayisuye uNkulunkulu wezihotsha, ngakho ngizanikela esandleni sakho lelixuku lonke elikhulu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.
29 Hiche galmi teni hin nisagi sungin kimai ngat ton ngahmun akisem’un, anaum un ahi. Ni sagi lhin nin akisat to pan tauvin ahi. Israelten nikhat sungin Syriate keng sepai hochu sang jakhat anathat’un ahi.
Basebemisa inkamba, enye iqondene lenye, insuku eziyisikhombisa. Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa impi yadibana; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebetshaya ngosuku lunye amaSiriya azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahamba ngenyawo.
30 Adangse chu Aphek khopi sung’ah ajamlut un ahi, ahin akulpi pal’u chu ahin chimkhum un ahile, mi sang somni le sagi jen athiuvin ahi. Benhadad chu khopi sung’a ajam lut’in, indan sung nung khat’ah akisel tan ahi.
Labaseleyo babalekela eAfeki emzini; lomduli wawela phezu kwamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa ayesele. UBenihadadi laye wabaleka, wangena emzini ekamelweni elingaphakathi.
31 Benhadad sepai lamkai hon akom’ah, “Hepu Israel lengte hi mikhoto athem un ahi, hijeh chun eihon khaodip pon i-taibuh uva kiveiju hitin, i-luchang uva khaohol kiveiju hitin chuteng leh Israel lengpa henga chun, ga lut jeng tem uhite, ajeh chu ama khun na hinghoi jeng maithei ahi,” atiuve.
Lezinceku zakhe zathi kuye: Khangela-ke, sizwile ukuthi amakhosi endlu yakoIsrayeli angamakhosi alesihawu; ake sifake amasaka enkalweni zethu, lamagoda emakhanda ethu, siphumele enkosini yakoIsrayeli; mhlawumbe izagcina umphefumulo wakho uphile.
32 Hijeh chun amahon ataibuh dung’uva khaodip pon akiveijun, aluchung uva khaohol aki khu uvin, Israel lengpa henga chun acheuvin, “Nasohpa Benhadad chun aseijin, na heng’a kahung tao ahi, neihing hoi tei teijin,” atin tin asei tauve. Hichun Ahab chun adong in, “Benhadad chu hing na lai ham? Ama chu ka sopipa ahibouve,” ati tai.
Basebethandela amasaka enkalweni zabo, lamagoda emakhanda abo, bafika enkosini yakoIsrayeli, bathi: Inceku yakho uBenihadadi ithi: Ake ungiyekele ngiphile. Yasisithi: Usaphila yini? Ungumfowethu.
33 Benhadad sepaiten Ahab’in asei chu thilpha ahi tin akilah un, gantah in, “Henge, na sopipa Benhadad ahi,” atiuvin aban ipi ahinsei em ti angah un ahile, Ahab in amaho jah’a chun, “Cheuvin lang, hinpuidoh un,” ati. Chuin Benhadad ahunglhun phat’in, Ahab in a kangtalai chung’ah akaldoh sah in ahi.
Lamadoda aqaphela ngokukhuthala aphangisa ukukuhluthuna kuyo, athi: Umfowenu uBenihadadi. Yasisithi: Hambani liyemthatha. UBenihadadi wasephumela kuyo, yamkhweza enqoleni.
34 Hichun Benhadad in Ahab jah’a, “Kapan napa akona ana lahpeh khopi ho jouse chu abonchan keiman nangma nale kit tang’e, chule nangman kapa in Samaria khopi sung’a abolna bang bangin nangin jong, Damascus khopi sunga kai-lhang tampi na semdoh thei ahi,” ati. Chuin Ahab in, “Hitobang ding chun kenjong nangma nalha tang’e,” atin ahi. Hiti chun Ahab in Benhadad chutoh kitepna asem tan, ama jong alhadoh tai.
Wasesithi kuyo: Imizi ubaba ayithatha kuyihlo ngizayibuyisela; futhi ungazenzela izitalada eDamaseko njengokwenza kukababa eSamariya. Khona uAhabi wathi: Mina ngizakuyekela uhambe ngalesisivumelwano. Yasisenza laye isivumelwano yamyekela ehamba.
35 Pakaiyin themgao hon lah’a mikhat chu midang khat kom’ah thu aseisah in, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Ahin mipa chun themngaopa sat ding chun anompoi.
Umuntu othile wamadodana abaprofethi wasesithi kumakhelwane wakhe ngelizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu: Ake ungitshaye. Kodwa lowomuntu wala ukumtshaya.
36 Hichun themgaopan ama komah, “Pakai Pathen thupeh nanit loujeh in, keima neidalhah lhah teng le sakeiyin natha ding ahitai,” ati. Hitichun agah dalhah leh keipi khat in athat tan ahi.
Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ungalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, khangela, ekusukeni kwakho kimi isilwane sizakutshaya. Wasesuka kuye, lesilwane samfica, sambulala.
37 Hijouchun themgaopa chun midang chom khat komah, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Hichun themgaopa chu asat in, asattel jeng in ahi.

Kwasekusithi inkosi idlula, yena wamemeza enkosini wathi: Inceku yakho yaphuma phakathi kwempi; khangela-ke, umuntu waphambuka, waletha umuntu kimi, wathi: Londoloza lumuntu; uba elahleka lokulahleka, khona impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, kumbe uhlawule ngethalenta lesiliva.

Kwasekusithi inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, yena wayengekho. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuye: Sinjalo isahlulelo sakho, ususiqumile wena.
41 Hichun themgaopa chun amit kitom chu ahin ladoh’in ahileh, lengpan themgao ho lah’a khat ahi tichu ahedoh tan ahi.

Wasesithi kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngoba umyekele ukuthi aphume esandleni umuntu engimmisele ukumtshabalalisa, ngakho impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, labantu bakho esikhundleni sabantu bakhe.
43 Hichun Israel lengpa chu lung hangtah leh maithim ketkut in a inlam ajon tan ahi.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisiya endlini yayo inyukumele, ithukuthele, yafika eSamariya.
