1 Ahab ƒe vi, Yehoram, dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel gɔme le Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me. Eɖu fia ƒe wuieve le Samaria.
UJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda, yena wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lambili.
2 Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume ke menye abe fofoa kple dadaa ene o, elabena ewɔ nu nyui ɖeka: emu xɔ si fofoa tu na Baal la ƒu anyi.
Wona emehlweni kaThixo, kodwa kwakungafanani lokukayise lonina ababekwenzile. Walahla ilitshe likaBhali elalizila elalibazwe nguyise.
3 Ke egawɔ nu vɔ̃ si Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi wɔ elabena eya hã kplɔ Israelviwo de legbawo subɔsubɔ me.
Kodwa wagxila ezonweni zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, lezo ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuthi azenze; kazange azifulathele.
4 Moab fia, Mesa kple eƒe amewo nye alẽnyilawo. Woxea adzɔ na Israel kple alẽ akpe alafa ɖeka kple agbo akpe alafa ɖeka ƒe fu ƒe sia ƒe.
UMesha inkosi yaseMowabi wayefuya izimvu, wayefanele ukubhadala inkosi yako-Israyeli izimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu kanye loboya benqama ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu.
5 Ke le Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab fia dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
Kodwa ngemva kokufa kuka-Ahabi, inkosi yamaMowabi yahlamukela inkosi yako-Israyeli.
6 Ale Fia Yehoram dzo le Samaria yi ɖaƒo Israelʋakɔ nu ƒu.
Ngalesosikhathi inkosi uJoramu yasuka eSamariya yabutha abako-Israyeli bonke.
7 Eɖo du ɖe Yuda fia Yehosafat be, “Moab fia dze aglã ɖe ŋunye; àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye mawɔ aʋa kpliia?” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu be, “Makpe ɖe ŋuwò. Nye amewo kple nye sɔwo le asiwò me.”
Wathumela lelilizwi kuJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi: “Inkosi yamaMowabi isingihlamukele. Singahambisana siyehlasela amaMowabi na?” UJehoshafathi waphendula esithi, “Ngizahamba lawe. Mina nginguwe, abantu bami banjengabantu bakho, amabhiza ami anjengamabhiza akho.”
8 “Mɔ ka míato hafi adze wo dzi?” Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Míadze wo dzi tso Edom gbegbe.”
Wasebuza ukuthi, “Sizahlasela sivelela ngaphi na?” UJoramu wathi “Sizavelela eNkangala yase-Edomi.”
9 Ale Israel, Yuda kple Edom fiawo kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo to mɔ gɔdɔ̃ aɖe to gbegbe la ŋkeke adre, ke tsi menɔ anyi na ameawo kple woƒe lãwo o.
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphuma lenkosi yakoJuda kanye lenkosi yase-Edomi. Ngemva kohambo bezulazula okwensuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi amabutho kanye lawezinyamazana zempi aphela.
10 Israel fia do ɣli be, “Oo, nu ka míawɔ? Yehowa kplɔ mí va afi sia be yeana Moab fia naɖu mía dzi!”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yababaza yathi, “Kutheni kanti? UThixo angasibiza singamakhosi amathathu ukuze azosinikela ezandleni zamaMowabi na?”
11 Ke Yuda fia, Yehosafat biae be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mele mía dome oa? Ne eli la, ekema míate ŋu ana wòagblɔ nu si míawɔ la na mí.” Israel fiaŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Elisa, Safat ƒe viŋutsu le afi sia, Eliya ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔe wònye!”
Kodwa uJehoshafathi wabuza wathi, “Akulamphrofethi kaThixo yini, esingabuza ngaye kuThixo na?” Esinye sezikhulu zenkosi yako-Israyeli sathi, “Ukhona u-Elisha indodana kaShafathi. Wayeyinceku ka-Elija.”
12 Yehosafat gblɔ be, “Ahã, eyae nye ame si tututu dim míele; Yehowa ƒe nya le esi.” Ale Israel kple Yuda kple Edom ƒe fiawo yi ɖabia gbe Elisa.
UJehoshafathi wathi, “Ilizwi likaThixo likuye.” Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli kanye loJehoshafathi lenkosi yase-Edomi baya kuye.
13 Ke Elisa gblɔ na Israel fia Yehoram be, “Nyemedi wò nya aɖeke be mase o; yi fofowò kple dawò ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ!” Fia Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, elabena Yehowae yɔ mí va afi sia be Moab fia natsrɔ̃ mí!”
U-Elisha wathi enkosini yako-Israyeli, “Mina lawe singenelana njani? Hamba kubaphrofethi bakayihlo lakubaphrofethi bakanyoko.” Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphendula yathi, “Hayi, kungenxa yokuthi uThixo wasibiza sobathathu singamakhosi sinje ukuze asinikele kumaMowabi.”
14 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be nenye ɖe nyemede bubu Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe afi sia nɔnɔ ŋu o la, anye ne nyemanye kɔ akpɔ wò gɔ̃ hã o.
U-Elisha wathi, “Njengoba uThixo uSomandla engimkhonzayo ephila, kungasikuhlonipha kwami ukuthi kuloJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda, ngibe ngingayikukukhangela loba ukukubona ukuthi ukhona kodwa lokhu.
15 Ke azɔ la, mikplɔ kasaŋkuƒola aɖe vɛ nam.” Esi kasaŋkuƒola la nɔ kasaŋkua ƒom la, Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ va Elisa dzi
Kodwa-ke ngibizela umtshayi wechacho.” Umtshayi wechacho esatshaya ichacho, amandla kaThixo ehlela ku-Elisha,
16 eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miɖe ʋewo ɖe bali sia me’,
wasesithi, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Lungisani imigelo eminengi kulesisigodi.
17 elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miakpɔ yaƒoƒo loo alo tsidzadza o, gake tsi ayɔ bali sia me si wò kple wò nyiwo kple wò lãha bubuawo miano.’
Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Aliyikubona yezi loba izulu, kodwa lesisigodi sizagcwala ngamanzi, kuthi lina lenkomo zenu kanye lezinyamazana zonke lithole ukunatha.
18 Esia nye nu bɔbɔe le Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ Moab hã ade asi na wò.
Le yinto elula kuThixo, njalo uzanikela amaMowabi esandleni sakho.
19 Miagbã du sesẽ ɖe sia ɖe kple du gã ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi. Nenema ke mialã ati nyui ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi, miatɔ te tɔsisi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe sisi eye miatsɔ kpewo agblẽ agbledenyigba nyuiwo katã.”
Uzanqoba kuzozonke izinqaba zedolobho lakuyo yonke imizi eqakathekileyo. Uzawisa zonke izihlahla ezinhle, ugqibele yonke imithombo yamanzi, wonakalise wonke amasimu amahle ngamatshe.”
20 Esi ŋu ke, le ŋdivɔsaɣi la, tsie nye ekem le dodom bababa tso Edom lɔƒo! Tsi ɖɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
Ngosuku olulandelayo ekuseni, ngesikhathi sokunikela imihlatshelo, lakanye babona, nanko amanzi egeleza evelela e-Edomi! Ngakho ilizwe lagcwala amanzi.
21 Azɔ la Moabtɔwo katã se be fiawo va aʋa wɔ ge kple yewo eya ta woyɔ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe, ɖekakpuiwo kple ame tsitsiwo siaa, ame sia ame si ate ŋu awɔ aʋa ko eye wova ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe woƒe liƒo dzi.
AmaMowabi wonke ayesezwile ukuthi amakhosi ayezohlasela; ngalokho amadoda wonke, abadala lamajaha, ababengenelisa ukuphatha izikhali balawulwa ukuba bayevikela umngcele.
22 Esi wofɔ ŋdi kanya la, ɣe nɔ keklẽm ɖe tsia dzi eye hena Moabtɔ siwo nɔ tɔa godo la, wokpɔ tsi la wòbiã dzẽ abe ʋu ene.
Bathi bevuka emadabukakusa bathola ilanga linkanyazela phezu kwamanzi. Ekuboneni kwamaMowabi ngale, amanzi ayekhanya ebomvu kungani ligazi. AmaMowabi asesithi,
23 Tete wogblɔ be, “Ʋue nye ekem! Fia mawo anya wɔ aʋa, wu wo nɔewo. Azɔ la Moab, miva miaɖaha woƒe nuwo!”
“Ligazi leliyana! Kutsho ukuthi amakhosi lawayana alwile abulalana wodwa. Asiyeni butha impango, maMowabi!”
24 Ke esi woɖo Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me la, Israelviwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo lũ ɖe wo dzi eye wode asi Moabtɔwo wuwu me, ale Moabtɔwo si. Israelviwo ge ɖe Moabnyigba dzi eye woyi wo wuwu dzi le afi ma.
Kodwa amaMowabi athe efika enkambeni yama-Israyeli, ama-Israyeli awavukela awahlasela, amaMowabi aze abaleka. Ngakho ama-Israyeli ahlasela ilizwe lelo abhubhisa amaMowabi.
25 Wogbã duwo, lɔ kpe kɔ ɖe anyigba nyui ɖe sia ɖe dzi, xe tsidzɔƒewo eye wolã kutsetsetiwo ƒu anyi. Mlɔeba la, Kir Hareset mɔ koe susɔ, ke akafodalawo ɖe to ɖe eya hã eye woxɔe.
Atshabalalisa imizi kwathi indoda nganye yaphosela ilitshe kuwo wonke amasimu amahle aze agcwala ngamatshe. Bagqibela yonke imithombo yamanzi njalo bagamula zonke izihlahla ezinhle. Kwasala iKhiri-Haresethi eyasala amatshe ayo elokhu enjalo, kodwa amadoda ayehlome ngezavutha ayihonqolozela njalo ayihlasela.
26 Esi Moab fia kpɔ be woɖu ye dzi la, ekplɔ yidala alafa adre be yewoadze agbagba mamlɛtɔ ayi aɖalé Edom fia. Ke esia hã medze edzi o.
Inkosi yamaMowabi ithe ibona ukuthi isikhulelwa ekulweni, yathatha amadoda angamakhulu ayisikhombisa alwa ngenkemba yazama ukuthi idabule phakathi ngamandla iyephutshela enkosini yase-Edomi, kodwa yehluleka.
27 Azɔ la Moab fia lé Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ si aɖu fia ɖe eteƒe la, wui eye wòtsɔe sa numevɔe ɖe gli la dzi. Nuwɔna sia na Moabtɔwo ƒe mo nyra ɖe Israelviwo ŋuti, ale Israel ƒe aʋawɔlawo trɔ dzo yi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
Inkosi yaseMowabi yasithatha ingqabutho yayo eyiyo indodana eyayizasala ibusa yayinikela njengomnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwemiduli yedolobho. Kwakukukhulu ukuthukuthelela abako-Israyeli baze bahlehla babuyela kwelakibo.
