Fiawo 1 20
1 Azɔ la, Aram Fia Ben Hadad ƒo eƒe aʋakɔwo katã nu ƒu eye fia blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve kple woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo kplɔe ɖo. Eyi ɖaɖe to ɖe Samaria eye wòwɔ aʋa kplii.
UBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya wasebutha ibutho lakhe lonke, elamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili, lamabhiza lezinqola. Wenyuka wayavimbezela iSamariya, walwa layo.
2 Eɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Ahab, Israel fia gbɔ be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Ben Hadad be,
Wathuma izithunywa kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, emzini, wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi:
3 ‘Wò klosalo kple sika nye tɔnye eye srɔ̃wòwo kple viwòwo dometɔ nyuitɔwo nye tɔnye.’”
Isiliva sakho legolide lakho ngokwami, labafazi bakho labantwana bakho abahle ngabami.
4 Israel fia ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ kple fia, abe ale si nègblɔe ene la, nye ŋutɔ kple nu siwo le asinye la nye tɔwò!”
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Njengokwelizwi lakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngingowakho, lakho konke engilakho.
5 Ame dɔdɔawo gava eye wogblɔ be, “Ben Hadad be, ‘Togbɔ be medɔ ame ɖe wò be maxɔ wò klosalo kple sika kple srɔ̃wòwo kple viwòwo hã la,
Izithunywa zasezibuyela zathi: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi uthi: Lanxa ngithumele kuwe ngisithi: Isiliva sakho legolide lakho labafazi bakho labantwana bakho, kunike mina;
6 etsɔ ɣe aleawo ɣi lɔƒo la, maɖo amewo ɖa be woaka wò fiasã me kple ŋuwòmewo ƒe aƒewo me. Woatsɔ nu sia nu si xɔ asi na wò la adzoe!’”
kube kanti phose ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizathuma kuwe izinceku zami, zizaguduza indlu yakho lezindlu zezinceku zakho; kuzakuthi-ke, yonke into ethandekayo emehlweni akho, zizayifaka esandleni sazo ziyithathe.
7 Ahab yɔ eƒe aɖaŋudelawo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mikpɔ nu si wɔm ŋutsu sia le la ɖa! Ele ge dim togbɔ be mena wònya be ate ŋu axɔ srɔ̃nyewo, vinyewo, nye klosalo kple sika abe ale si wòdi ene gɔ̃ hã.”
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 Aɖaŋuɖolawo ɖo aɖaŋu nɛ be, “Mègatsɔ nu bubu aɖeke wu esiawo nɛ o.”
Bonke abadala labo bonke abantu basebesithi kuyo: Ungalaleli, njalo ungavumi.
9 Ale Fia Ahab gblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad ƒe ame dɔdɔwo be, “Migblɔ na nye aƒetɔ, fia la be, ‘Matsɔ nu sia nu si nèbia zi gbãtɔ la na wò gake wò amewo maka nye fiasã la kple nye amewo ƒe aƒewo me o.’” Ale ame dɔdɔawo trɔ yi Ben Hadad gbɔ.
Wasesithi kuzo izithunywa zikaBenihadadi: Tshelani inkosi yami, inkosi ukuthi: Konke eyakuthumela encekwini yayo kuqala ngizakwenza; kodwa linto kangilamandla okuyenza. Izithunywa zasezihamba, zayibuyisela ilizwi.
10 Azɔ la, Siria fia la gblɔ ɖo ɖe Ahab be, “Mawuawo nafiam agafiam ɖe edzi ne nye aʋakɔ metrɔ Samaria wòzu ʋuʋudedi asiʋlo ʋɛ aɖewo ko o!”
UBenihadadi wasethumela kuye wathi: Kabenze njalo onkulunkulu kimi, bengezelele njalo, uba ubhuqu lweSamariya lungenela izandla ezigcweleyo zabo bonke abantu abangilandelayo.
11 Israel fia Ahab ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi ɖagblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad be, ‘Ame si le aʋa wɔ ge la maƒo adegbe o, ke ame si wɔ aʋa ɖu dzi la koe aƒo adegbe!’”
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Mtsheleni: Lowo obhinca izikhali kangaziqakisi njengozikhululayo.
12 Fia Ahab ƒe ŋuɖoɖo sia va ɖo Fia Ben Hadad kple fia bubuawo gbɔ esi wonɔ aha nom le woƒe agbadɔwo me. Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na eƒe aʋafiawo be, “Midzra ɖo miaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu.”
Kwasekusithi esizwa lelilizwi esanatha, yena lamakhosi emadumbeni, wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Zimiseni! Zasezizimisa ukumelana lomuzi.
13 Nyagblɔɖila aɖe va kpɔ Israel fia Ahab eye wògblɔ nɛ be ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Èkpɔ futɔ la ƒe aʋakɔ siawoa? Matsɔ wo katã ade asi na wò egbe, ekema ànya mlɔeba be, nyee nye Yehowa!”
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.
14 Ahab bia be, “Ke ame kae awɔ nu sia?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu be, “Alea Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ato ɖekakpuiwo, asrafo siwo le nutoa me la dzi.’” Ahab gabia be, “Ame kae adze aʋa la gɔme?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Miawoe!”
UAhabi wasesithi: Ngobani? Wasesithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngamajaha abaphathi bezabelo. Wasesithi: Ngubani ozaqalisa impi? Wasesithi: Wena.
15 Ale Ahab ƒo aʋawɔla alafa eve blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve nu ƒu tso dutawo kpe ɖe Israelʋakɔ mamlɛa, ame akpe adre, ŋu.
Wasebala amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, ayengamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili; lemva kwawo wabala bonke abantu, bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.
16 Le ŋdɔ me lɔƒo la, esi Ben Hadad kple Fia bubu blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eveawo ganɔ aha nom hede mumu ge kloe la, Ahab ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe akpa gbãtɔ ɖe zɔ ɖe dua dzi.
Basebephuma emini, uBenihadadi esenathe wadakwa emadumbeni, yena lamakhosi, amakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayemsiza.
17 Anyigbadzikpɔlawo ƒe ɖekakpuiawo tre hoho. Ben Hadad dɔ amewo ɖa eye wogbɔ va gblɔ nɛ bena, “Samaria ŋutsuwo ho aʋa gbɔna ɖa.”
Amajaha abaphathi bezabelo asephuma kuqala. UBenihadadi wasethuma, basebemtshela besithi: Kuphume amadoda eSamariya.
18 Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na wo be, “Milé wo agbagbe ne wova na ŋutifafa loo alo aʋawɔwɔ!”
Wasesithi: Loba ephumele ukuthula, abambeni ephila; loba-ke ephumele impi, abambeni ephila.
19 Ɖekakpui siwo nye asrafo, siwo le nutoa dzi kpɔm la dze ŋgɔ eye asrafoawo kplɔ wo ɖo do le dua me.
Lala aphuma emzini, amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, lebutho elawalandelayo.
20 Ame sia ame wu Siria srafo ɖeka. Sẽe ko la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Syriaʋakɔ blibo la eye wosi. Israelviwo kplɔ wo ɖo. Ben Hadad kple eŋume ʋɛ aɖewo do sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo hesi.
Babulala, ngulowo lalowo umuntu wakhe. AmaSamariya asebaleka, uIsrayeli wasexotshana lawo, kodwa uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya waphunyuka ngebhiza kanye labagadi bamabhiza.
21 Ke Israelviwo xɔ Syriatɔwo ƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo ƒe akpa gãtɔ eye wowu Siriatɔ geɖewo.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphuma, yatshaya amabhiza lenqola, yatshaya phakathi kwamaSiriya ngokubulala okukhulu.
22 Nyagblɔɖila la te ɖe Israel fia ŋu eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Dzra ɖo na Siria fia ƒe aʋa bubu hoho ɖe ŋuwò!”
Lowomprofethi wasesondela enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi kuyo: Hamba, uziqinise, unanzelele njalo ubone okwenzayo; ngoba ekuthwaseni komnyaka inkosi yeSiriya izakwenyuka imelane lawe.
23 Esi Israelviwo ɖu Siriatɔwo dzi la, Ben Hadad ƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Israelviwo ƒe mawuwo nye todzimawuwo eya tae woɖu mía dzi; ke míate ŋu aɖu wo dzi bɔbɔe le balime.
Lezinceku zenkosi yeSiriya zathi kuyo: Onkulunkulu babo bangonkulunkulu bezintaba, yikho belamandla kulathi; kube kanti asilwe labo emagcekeni, sibili sizabehlula.
24 Azɔ la, na aʋafiawo naxɔ fiawo teƒe.
Ngakho yenza linto: Susa amakhosi, ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, ubeke izinduna esikhundleni sawo;
25 Ƒo ƒu aʋakɔ bubu nu abe esi tsrɔ̃ la ene. Na sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo kple aʋawɔla xexlẽme mawo tututu mí eye míawɔ aʋa kpli wo le balime. Ekema ɖikeke aɖeke meli be míaɖu wo dzi kokoko o!” Ale Fia Ben Hadad wɔ nu si wogblɔ nɛ.
njalo wena zibalele ibutho njengebutho eliwileyo kuwe, lebhiza njengebhiza, lenqola njengenqola; njalo sizakulwa labo emagcekeni, isibili sizabehlula. Yasilalela ilizwi labo, yenza njalo.
26 Esi ƒe trɔ la, eƒo Aramea aʋakɔ la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu azɔ le Afek.
Kwasekusithi ekuthwaseni komnyaka uBenihadadi wabala amaSiriya, wenyukela eAfeki ekulweni loIsrayeli.
27 Israel hã ƒo eƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu, wodi nuɖuɖu da ɖi eye woyi aʋagbedzi. Ke Israelʋakɔ la dze abe gbɔ̃viwo ƒe ha eve ko ene ne wotsɔe sɔ kple Arameatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ si gbagba ɖe balime la ŋu!
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli babalwa-ke, banikwa imiphako, basebephuma ukumelana lawo; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bamisa inkamba phambi kwawo njengemihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kodwa amaSiriya agcwala ilizwe.
28 Mawu ƒe ame aɖe yi Israel fia la gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya siawo tso Yehowa gbɔ nɛ: “Esi Siriatɔwo gblɔ be, ‘Yehowa nye to dzi Mawu eye menye balime ƒe Mawu o’ ta la, makpe ɖe mia ŋu miaɖu aʋakɔ gã sia dzi eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa nyateƒe.”
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 Aʋakɔ eveawo ƒu asaɖa anyi dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo ŋkeke adre eye aʋa la dze egɔme le ŋkeke adrelia gbe. Israelviwo wu Siriatɔ akpe alafa ɖeka le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
Basebemisa inkamba, enye iqondene lenye, insuku eziyisikhombisa. Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa impi yadibana; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebetshaya ngosuku lunye amaSiriya azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahamba ngenyawo.
30 Aʋawɔla siwo susɔ la si yi Afek ƒe gliwo megbe, ke gliawo ƒe akpa aɖe mu dze wo dzi eye wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-adre ku. Ben Hadad si yi du la me eye wòbe ɖe aƒe aɖe ƒe xɔ ememetɔ me.
Labaseleyo babalekela eAfeki emzini; lomduli wawela phezu kwamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa ayesele. UBenihadadi laye wabaleka, wangena emzini ekamelweni elingaphakathi.
31 Eƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, míese be Israel fiawo nye nublanuikpɔnamelawo. Na míata akpanya, akaka ɖa ɖe ta eye míayi Fia Ahab gbɔ kpɔ be ana nànɔ agbe mahã?”
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 Ale woyi Fia Ahab gbɔ eye woɖe kuku nɛ be, “Wò dɔla, Fia Ben Hadad le kuku ɖem be, ‘Na manɔ agbe!’” Israel Fia bia be, “Oo, egale agbea? Nɔvinyee!”
Basebethandela amasaka enkalweni zabo, lamagoda emakhanda abo, bafika enkosini yakoIsrayeli, bathi: Inceku yakho uBenihadadi ithi: Ake ungiyekele ngiphile. Yasisithi: Usaphila yini? Ungumfowethu.
33 Ameawo ɖo eŋu kaba be, “Ɛ̃, nɔviwò, Fia Ben Hadad, gale agbe!” Israel Fia gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi ɖakplɔe vɛ.” Esi Ben Hadad va ɖo la, Ahab na wòge ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam me!
Lamadoda aqaphela ngokukhuthala aphangisa ukukuhluthuna kuyo, athi: Umfowenu uBenihadadi. Yasisithi: Hambani liyemthatha. UBenihadadi wasephumela kuyo, yamkhweza enqoleni.
34 Ben Hadad gblɔ nɛ be, “Magbugbɔ du siwo fofonye xɔ le fofowò si la na wò; àte ŋu atsa asi kple Damasko abe ale si fofonye wɔ le Samaria ene.” Ahab gblɔ be, “Bla nu kplim, ekema maɖe asi le ŋuwò nàdzo.” Ale wòbla nu kplii eye wòɖe asi le eŋu wòdzo.
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 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka be, wòagblɔ na nɔvia aɖe be, “Tsɔ wò yi dzam!” Ke nɔvia gbe.
Umuntu othile wamadodana abaprofethi wasesithi kumakhelwane wakhe ngelizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu: Ake ungitshaye. Kodwa lowomuntu wala ukumtshaya.
36 Ale nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ nɛ be, “Esi mèɖo to Yehowa ƒe gbe o ta la, dzata aɖe awu wò ne èdzo le gbɔnye ko.” Nyateƒe, esi wòtrɔ be yeadzo ko la, dzata aɖe wui.
Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ungalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, khangela, ekusukeni kwakho kimi isilwane sizakutshaya. Wasesuka kuye, lesilwane samfica, sambulala.
37 Nyagblɔɖila la trɔ ɖe ame bubu gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ wò yi dzam.” Ame la dzae eye wòde abi eŋu.
Wasethola omunye umuntu wathi: Ake ungitshaye. Lalowomuntu wamtshaya lokumtshaya emlimaza.
38 Nyagblɔɖila la tso mɔ na fia la. Etsɔ avɔ kakɛ bla eƒe ŋkuwo dzi, ale be womagadze si ye o.
Ngakho umprofethi wasuka, wamelela inkosi endleleni, ezifihle isimo ngelembu emehlweni.
39 Esi fia la tso eme va yina la, nyagblɔɖila la do ɣli yɔe gblɔ be, “Wò dɔla yi afi si aʋa la bi dzo le eye ame aɖe va gbɔnye kple aʋaléleawo dometɔ ɖeka eye wògblɔ nam be, ‘Nɔ ame sia ŋuti dzɔm. Ne ebu la, wò agbe axɔ ɖe eƒe agbe teƒe alo nàxe klosalo kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene.’
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.
40 Esi wò dɔla nɔ srẽɖi dzem le afii kple afi kemɛ la, amea si dzo.” Israel fia gblɔ nɛ be, “Esiae nye wò afiatsotso. Wò ŋutɔe tso afia, bu fɔ ɖokuiwò.”
Kwasekusithi inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, yena wayengekho. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuye: Sinjalo isahlulelo sakho, ususiqumile wena.
41 Tete nyagblɔɖila la ɖe avɔ kakɛ la ɖa le eƒe ŋkume eye fia la dze sii be yeƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dometɔ ɖekae.
Wasephangisa walisusa ilembu emehlweni akhe. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasimazi ukuthi ungowabaprofethi.
42 Nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Esi nèɖe asi le ame si mebe wòaku la ŋu wògale agbe ta la, ele be nàku ɖe eteƒe eye wò amewo atsrɔ̃ ɖe eƒe amewo teƒe.’”
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 Ale Israel fia trɔ yi Samaria kple dɔmedzoe kple moyɔyɔ.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisiya endlini yayo inyukumele, ithukuthele, yafika eSamariya.
