Fiawo 1 13
1 Le Yehowa ƒe nya nu la, Mawu ƒe ame aɖe tso Yuda va Betel esi Yeroboam nɔ tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ be yeado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ.
UJerobhowamu esemi e-alithareni ukuze atshise impepha, kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu eBhetheli evela koJuda elelizwi likaThixo,
2 Edo ɣli ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu le Yehowa ƒe nya nu be, “Oo, vɔsamlekpui, vɔsamlekpui, ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Woadzi viŋutsuvi aɖe si woayɔ be Yosia la na David ƒe aƒe. Dziwòe nunɔla siwo saa vɔ le nuxeƒewo eye wole vɔ sam fifia le afi sia la asa vɔ ɖo eye woatɔ dzo ameƒuwo hã ɖe dziwò.’”
walethula e-alithareni lelilizwi likaThixo elithi: “Wena alithare! Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi, ‘Kuzazalwa indodana endlini kaDavida, ibizo lakhe lizakuba nguJosiya. Izakwenza umhlatshelo phezu kwakho ngabaphristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo okwakhathesi abenza iminikelo khona lapha, lamathambo abantu azatshiselwa phezu kwakho.’”
3 Gbe ma gbe ke la, Mawu ƒe ame la na dzesi be, “Esiae nye dzesi si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi. Vɔsamlekpui la ama ɖe eve eye dzofi si le edzi la akaka ɖe anyigba.”
Ngalolosuku umuntu kaNkulunkulu wenza isibonakaliso esithi: “Lesi yisiboniso esivela kuThixo: I-alithari lizadatshulwa phakathi lomlotha ophezu kwalo uzachithwa.”
4 Esi Fia Yeroboam se nya si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ ɖi ɖe Betel vɔsamlekpui la ŋuti kple ɣli la, edo eƒe asi ɖa tso vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ eye wògblɔ be, “Milée!” Gake asi si wòdo ɖe amea gbɔ la dze ti ɖe eŋu, ale be magate ŋu ahee ava eɖokui ŋu o.
Inkosi uJerobhowamu isizwile isikhalazo sendoda evela kuNkulunkulu nge-alithare leBhetheli yelulela isandla sayo e-alithareni, yathi, “Mbambeni!” Kodwa isandla leso ayeselulile soma wehluleka ukusifinyeza.
5 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, vɔsamlekpui la ma ɖe eve siãa eye afi si nɔ edzi la dudu ɖe anyigba to dzesi si Mawu ƒe ame la na to Yehowa ƒe nya dzi.
Kwathi i-alithari lalo ladatshulwa phakathi umlotha walo walahlwa, njengokwesibonakaliso esasethulwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngelizwi likaThixo.
6 Tete fia la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Ɖe kuku ɖe tanye le Yehowa, wò Mawu la gbɔ eye nàdo gbe ɖa ɖe tanye be nye asi naɖɔ ɖo.” Ale Mawu ƒe ame la ɖe kuku na Yehowa ɖe eta eye fia la ƒe asi ɖɔ ɖo, ganɔ abe tsã ene.
Inkosi yathi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu, “Ake ungincengele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele, ukuba isandla sami sisiliswe sibuyele esimeni saso.” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasemncengela kuThixo, lesandla sikaJerobhowamu sasiliswa saba njengakuqala.
7 Fia la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Kplɔm ɖo míayi nye aƒe me ne nàdi nane aɖu eye mana nunana wò.”
Wasesithi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: “Ake siye ekhaya ukuba udle, ngizakunika umvuzo.”
8 Ke Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo eŋu na Fia la be, “Ne àtsɔ wò kesinɔnuwo ƒe afã nam gɔ̃ hã la, nyemayi kpli wò loo alo aɖu abolo alo ano tsi le afi ma o
Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Loba ungaze unginike ingxenye yenotho yakho, kangihambi lawe; kangiyikudla ukudla, njalo angiyikunatha amanzi kulindawo;
9 elabena Yehowa ƒe nya de se nam be, ‘Mègaɖu abolo alo ano tsi alo atrɔ agbɔ ato mɔ si dzi nèto yi la dzi o.’”
ngoba ngilaywe ngelizwi likaThixo ukuthi: ‘Ungabokudla ukudla, unganathi amanzi njalo ungaphenduki ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
10 Ale wòto mɔ bubu dzo eye megato mɔ si wòto yi Betel la o.
Ngakho wabuyela ngenye indlela, kasabuyelanga ngendlela ayeze ngayo eBhetheli.
11 Eva eme be nyagblɔɖila tsitsi aɖe nɔ Betel. Viawo yi egbɔ eye wogblɔ nu si Mawu ƒe ame si tso Yuda la wɔ kple nya si wògblɔ na fia la nɛ.
Kwakulomphrofethi omdala owayehlala eBhetheli, okweza kuye amadodana akhe amtshela ngokwakwenziwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngalolosuku. Amadodana atshela uyise lokuthi indoda leyo yayitheni enkosini.
12 Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la bia be, “Mɔ ka wòto dzo?” Viawo fia mɔ lae.
Uyise wasebuza amadodana ukuthi: “Pho angabe uhambe ngayiphi indlela?” Amadodana atshengisa uyise indlela eyathathwa ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda.
13 Egblɔ na viawo be, “Netsɔ! Mibla akpa na nye tedzi nam.” Esi wobla akpa na tedzia la,
Wasesithi emadodaneni akhe, “Lungisani ubabhemi lingifakele isihlalo phezu kwakhe.” Kwathi sebemlungisele wagada ubabhemi
14 eti Mawu ƒe ame la yome eye wòtui wònɔ anyi ɖe logoti aɖe te nɔ dzudzɔm. Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la biae be, “Wòe nye Mawu ƒe ame si tso Yuda vaa?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyee.”
walandela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamfica ehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi wambuza wathi, “Nguwe umuntu kaNkulunkulu na ovela koJuda?” Indoda yathi, “Yebo yimi.”
15 Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema va míyi nye aƒe me nàɖu nu.”
Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi kuye, “Woza siye ekhaya uzokudla.”
16 Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ be, “Nyemate ŋu atrɔ ayi kpli wò o eye nyemate ŋu aɖu abolo alo ano tsi kpli wò le afi sia o.
Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Angingeke ngiphenduke ukuthi ngibuyele lawe emuva, njalo angingeke ngidle ukudla loba nginathe amanzi lawe kule indawo.
17 Yehowa ƒe nya gblɔ nam be, ‘Mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu abolo alo ano tsi le afi ma alo àtrɔ agbɔ to mɔ si nèto yi la o.’”
Ilizwi likaThixo lifike kimi lathi, ‘Ungadli ukudla kwalapha, unganathi lamanzi akhona njalo ungabobuyela ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
18 Ke nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la gblɔ be “Nyagblɔɖilae nye hã menye abe wò ke ene. Mawudɔla aɖe gblɔ nya aɖe nam tso Yehowa gbɔ. Ele be makplɔ wò ayi nye aƒe me eye mana nuɖuɖu kple tsi wò.” Ke ɖeko nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la blee.
Umphrofethi omdala wamphendula wathi, “Lami ngingumphrofethi njengawe. Ingilosi seza kimi ngelizwi likaThixo sathi: ‘Ubomletha umbuyisele emuva endlini yakho ukuze ayekudla isinkwa njalo anathe lamanzi.’” (Kodwa wayeqamba amanga.)
19 Ale wòyi Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la ƒe aƒe me, ɖu nu eye wòno tsi.
Ngakho umuntu kaNkulunkulu wabuyela laye wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi endlini yakhe.
20 Esi wonɔ nu ɖum la, Yehowa ƒo nu na nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la.
Besahlezi endaweni yokudlela, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye umphrofethi omdala owayemphendule wabuyela laye emuva.
21 Edo ɣli gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame, si tso Yuda la be, “Nya si Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Ètsi tsitre ɖe nya si Yehowa gblɔ la ŋu eye mèwɔ se si Yehowa, wò Mawu la de na wò la dzi o.
Wakhuluma kulowomuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela koJuda wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usuphikise ilizwi likaThixo awusagcinanga imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akulaya ngayo.
22 Ètrɔ gbɔ, ɖu abolo eye nèno tsi le afi si Yehowa de se na wò be mègaɖu nu, nàno tsi le o eya ta womaɖi wò kukua ɖe fofowòwo ƒe yɔdo me o.’”
Uphenduke endleleni wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi lapho utshelwe ukuthi ungaze wadla ukudla kumbe unathe amanzi akhona. Ngenxa yalokho isidumbu sakho asisayikungcwatshwa emangcwabeni abokhokho bakho.’”
23 Esi Mawu ƒe ame la ɖu nu, no nu vɔ la, nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la, ame si na wòtrɔ gbɔ la, bla akpa na eƒe tedzi nɛ.
Kwathi umuntu kaNkulunkulu eseqedile ukudla lokunatha, umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni wambuyisela emuva wafaka isihlalo sakhe phezu kukababhemi wamkhweza.
24 Esi Mawu ƒe ame la dze mɔ yina la, dzata aɖe do goe hewui. Eƒe kukua mlɔ mɔa dzi, tedzi la kple dzata la nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ.
Uthe esengene indlela yakhe, kwavela isilwane endleleni sambulala, isidumbu sakhe sasala phansi emgwaqweni, kwathi ubabhemi wema ngapha kwesidumbu lesilwane sime ngale kwaso.
25 Emetsola aɖewo kpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe kukua le mɔa dzi kple dzata si nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ eye woyi ɖagblɔ nya la le du si me nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la nɔ.
Abantu ababesedlula lapho babona isidumbu siwele khonapho emgwaqweni, isilwane simi eceleni phansi kwesidumbu, bedlulela edolobheni bayabikela umphrofethi omdala lapho ayehlala khona.
26 Esi nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la se nya si dzɔ la, edo ɣli be, “Mawu ƒe ame si mewɔ Yehowa ƒe se dzi o lae. Yehowa wɔ nya si wògblɔ la dzi eye wòna dzata la wui.”
Kwathi umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni ehambeni lwakhe ekuzwa lokhu, wathi, “Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu odelele ilizwi likaThixo. UThixo umnikele esilwaneni, esimphoqoze sambulala, njengoba ilizwi likaThixo belimxwayisile.”
27 Ena viawo bla akpa na eƒe tedzi.
Umphrofethi wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ngilungiselani ubabhemi limethese isihlalo.” Akwenza lokho amadodana,
28 Ekpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe kukua le mɔa dzi eye dzata la kple tedzi la nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ. Dzata la meɖu ame kuku la o eye melé tedzi la hã o.
wasesuka esiya khonale lapho afumana khona isidumbu endleleni, ngapha kumi isilwane ngale kungubabhemi emaceleni aso. Isilwane asizange sisithinte isidumbu kanti njalo sasivele singazange simthinte lobabhemi.
29 Ale nyagblɔɖila la tsɔ ame kuku la ɖe tedzi dzi va dua me be yeafae eye yeaɖii.
Ngakho umphrofethi wathatha isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasikhweza kubabhemi, wasithwalela edolobheni lakhe lapho afika amlilela khona njalo wamngcwaba khona.
30 Eɖii ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe yɔdo me eye wòfae vevie be, “Ao, nɔvinye!”
Wasebeka isidumbu engcwabeni lakhe, wamlilela wathi, “Maye, umfowethu!”
31 Egblɔ na viawo emegbe be, “Ne meku la, miɖim ɖe yɔdo si me woɖi Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo. Mitsɔ nye ƒuwo mlɔ eƒe ƒuwo xa,
Ngemva kokumngcwaba, wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ekufeni kwami, lingingcwabe engcwabeni lona leli okungcwatshwe khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu; libeke amathambo ami ndawonye lamathambo akhe.
32 elabena Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be wòaƒo nu atsi tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le Betel la ŋu eye fiƒode si wòda ɖe nuxeƒe siwo le Samaria dzi la aɖi wo ŋu.”
Ngoba ilizwi alimemezelayo ngelizwi likaThixo phezu kwe-alithari eBhetheli laphezu kwazo zonke indawana zomhlatshelo eziphakemeyo emadolobheni aseSamariya lizagcwaliseka.”
33 Togbɔ be Mawu ƒe ame la xlɔ̃ nu Yeroboam hã la, Yeroboam meɖe asi le eƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu o, ke boŋ egatsɔ ame geɖe siwo metso Levi ƒe ƒome la me o la ɖo nunɔlawoe be woasa vɔ na legbawo le nuxeƒe siwo le toawo dzi. Ame sia ame si lɔ̃ ko la, ate ŋu azu nunɔla.
Langemva kwalokhu, uJerobhowamu kazange aguqule izindlela zakhe zokona, waqhubeka ekhetha abaphristi bendawo eziphakemeyo edobha nje ingqe ngubani ebantwini. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofuna ukuba ngumphristi wayemgcobela indawo eziphezulu.
34 Esia nye nu vɔ̃ vɔ̃ɖi aɖe, ena Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuƒe la gbã eye wòhe ku vɛ na eƒe ƒometɔwo katã.
Lesi kwakuyisono sendlu kaJerobhowamu esakhokhelela ekuweni lasekudilikeni kwayo kayaze yaba khona emhlabeni.
