I Na Lii 21
1 EIA hoi kekahi mea mahope mai o ia mau mea, he malawaina ia Nabota no Iezereela, maloko ia o Iezereela, e pili ana i ka halealii o Ahaba ke alii o Samaria.
Kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi esithile kwaba lesenzo esithile ngesivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili. Isivini leso sasiseJezerili, phansi kwesigodlo sika-Ahabi inkosi yaseSamariya.
2 Olelo mai la o Ahaba ia Nabota, i mai la, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina, i lilo ia ia'u i mala laauikiai, no ka mea, e kokoke mai ana no ia i ko'u hale; a e haawi aku au nau i ka malawaina e oi aku kona mai kai mamua o keia: a i pono ia oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i ke kala e like kona waiwai me ia.
U-Ahabi wathi kuNabhothi, “Kahle mina ngilime imibhida yami esivinini sakho, njengoba siphansi kwesigodlo sami. Mina ngizakunika isivini esingcono, loba nxa uthanda, ngizakunika intengo ofisa ukusithengisa ngayo.”
3 I aku la o Nabota ia Ahaba, Na Iehova wau e hoole mai, i ole e haawi au i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe.
Kodwa uNabhothi wathi, “UThixo kangavumi ukuba ngikunike ilifa labobaba.”
4 Hele ae la hoi o Ahaba iloko o kona hale me ke kaumaha, a me ka huhu, no ka olelo a Nabota no Iezereela i olelo aku ai ia ia; no ka mea, ua olelo oia, Aole au e haawi aku i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe. Moe iho la oia ma kona wahi moe, haliu e aku i kona maka, aole hoi i ai i ka berena.
Ngalokho u-Ahabi wabuyela ekhaya enyukubele njalo ethukuthele ngoba uNabhothi umJezerili wayethe, “Angizukukunika ilifa labobaba.” U-Ahabi walala embhedeni enyukubele wala lokudla.
5 Alaila hele ae la kana wahine o Iezebela io na la, ninau aku la hoi, No ke aha la e kaumaha nei kou uhane, i ole ai oe e ai i ka berena?
Umkakhe uJezebheli wangena endlini wambuza wathi, “Kungani usineme kangaka? Kungani usala ukudla?”
6 Hai mai la oia, No ka mea, ua olelo aku au ia Nabota no Iezereela, i ka i ana'ku ia ia, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina ia'u no ke kala; a, ina e makemake oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i kekahi malawaina e nona; a olelo mai la oia, Aole au e haawi i kuu malawaina ia oe.
Yena wamphendula wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi ngithe kuNabhothi umJezerili, ‘Ngithengisela isivini sakho; loba nxa ufuna, ngikunike esinye isivini esikhundleni salesi.’ Kodwa ungiphendule wathi ‘Angizukukunika isivini sami.’”
7 I aku la hoi o Iezebela kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoomalu nei anei oe i ke aupuni o ka Iseraela? E ala'e a e ai i ka berena, e olioli kou naau, na'u no e haawi i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela ia oe.
UJezebheli umka-Ahabi wathi, “Lokhu yikho okwenzayo njengenkosi yako-Israyeli na? Vuka udle! Uchelese. Mina ngizakuzuzela isivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili.”
8 Kakau iho la oia i na palapala ma ka inoa o Ahaba, a kau iho la i kona sila, a hoouna aku la i ua mau palapala la i na lunakahiko a me na haku na mea iloko o kona kulanakauhale, e noho ana me Nabota.
UJezebheli wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo lika-Ahabi, wazidinda ngophawu luka-Ahabi, wazithumela ebadaleni lakuzo izikhulu ezazihlala loNabhothi emzini wakibo.
9 Palapala ae la ia iloko o na palapala, i aku la, E kala aku i ka hookeai, a e hooku ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka;
Ezincwadini lezo waloba ukuthi: “Memezelani usuku lokuzila libe selibeka uNabhothi esihlalweni esiqakathekileyo phakathi kwabantu.
10 A e hooku hoi i na kanaka elua, i na keiki a Beliala, imua ona, e hoike ku e ia ia, e olelo ana, Ua hoi no wale oe i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe aku ia ia mawaho, a e hailuku ia ia i make ia.
Libe selihlalisa izigangi ezimbili maqondana laye lithi kazifakaze ngokuthi uthuke uNkulunkulu kanye lenkosi. Libe selimkhuphela phandle liyemkhanda ngamatshe limbulale.”
11 Hana iho la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko a me na haku ka poe e noho ana ma kona kulanakauhale, e like me ka Iezebela i hoouna aku ai ia lakou, a e like me ka mea i kakauia maloko o na palapala ana i hoouna aku ai ia lakou.
Ngakho abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini kaNabhothi benza lokho ababekuthunywe nguJezebheli ngezincwadi ayebalobele zona.
12 Kala ae la lakou i ka hookeai, a hooku ae la lakou ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka.
Bamemezela isikhathi sokuzila bahlalisa uNabhothi esihlalweni esiphakemeyo phambi kwabantu.
13 A hele mai la na kanaka elua, na keiki a Beliala, a noho iho la imua ona: hoike ku e ae la ua mau kanaka la o Beliala ia ia, ia Nabota, ma ke alo o na kanaka, i ae la, Ua hoino wale o Nabota i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la lakou ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la lakou ia ia me na pohaku a make ia.
Kwasuka izigangi ezimbili zahlala phambi kwakhe zakhangelana laye zaqalisa ukwethesa uNabhothi amacala, zisithi, “UNabhothi uthuke uNkulunkulu kanye lenkosi.” Ngakho bamkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi bamkhanda ngamatshe bambulala.
14 Alaila hoouna mai la lakou io Iezebela la, i mai la, Ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make.
Basebethumela ilizwi kuJezebheli besithi, “UNabhothi ukhandwe ngamatshe njalo usefile.”
15 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Iezebela ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make, i aku la o Iezebela ia Ahaba, E eu e komo i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, ka mea ana i haawi ole ai ia oe no ke kala; no ka mea, aole e ola ana o Nabota, aka, ua make no.
Masinyazana uJezebheli esezwe ukuthi uNabhothi ukhandwe ngamatshe wabulawa, wathi ku-Ahabi, “Vuka uyethatha isivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili sona lesiyana alileyo ukukuthengisela sona. Uvele kasekho, usefile.”
16 Eia keia, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba, ua make o Nabota, ku ae la o Ahaba iluna e iho i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, e lawe ia nona.
U-Ahabi uthe esizwa ukuthi uNabhothi kasekho, wavuka wayathatha lesosivini sikaNabhothi waseJezerili.
17 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Elija umThishibi lisithi:
18 E eu, e iho ae oe e halawai me Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela, o ko Samaria; aia hoi ia maloko o ka malawaina o Nabota kahi i iho ai oia e komo.
“Yehla uyehlangabeza u-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli obusa eSamariya. Usesivinini sikaNabhothi, uye khona ukuze azithathele lesosivini.
19 E olelo aku hoi oe ia ia, i ka i ana aku, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, Ua pepehi ae nei anei oe, a ua lawe hoi nou? A e olelo aku oe ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Ma kahi i palu ai o na ilio i ke koko o Nabota, malaila no e palu ai na ilio i kou koko, i kou ponoi no.
Ufike uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Awubulalanga umuntu wathumba impahla yakhe na?’ Ubususithi kuyo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo; Khonapho lapho izinja ezikhothele khona igazi likaNabhothi, kukhonapho kanye lapho izinja ezizakhothela khona elakho, yebo, elakho kanye!’”
20 A olelo ae la o Ahaba ia Elia, Ua loaa anei au ia oe, e kuu enemi? I aku la o Elia, Ua loaa no ia'u, no ka mea, ua kuai lilo aku oe ia oe iho e hana ma ka hewa imua o Iehova.
U-Ahabi wathi ku-Elija, “Wo usungitholile, wena sitha sami!” U-Elija wamphendula wathi, “Yebo sengikutholile ngoba uzinikele ukwenza isono emehlweni kaThixo.
21 Eia hoi, e hoili au i ka poino maluna ou, a e kaili ae au i kou hope, a e hooki aku au i na kane mai Ahaba aku, a me ka mea paa a me ka mea paa ole iloko o ka Iseraela.
‘Ngizokwehlisela ukubhujiswa. Ngizabhubhisa izizukulwane zakho ngisuse sonke isilisa sokucina ku-Ahabi ko-Israyeli loba yisigqili loba ngokhululekileyo.
22 A e hoohalike au i kau ohana me ka ohana a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a e like me ka ohana a Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia, no ka hoonaukiuki ana i hoohuhu mai ai oe ia'u, a i hoolilo ai hoi i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
Indlu yakho ngizayenza lokhu engakwenza ekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi lekaBhasha indodana ka-Ahija, ngoba ungithukuthelisile wabangela ukuthi u-Israyeli enze isono.’
23 A no Iezebela kekahi i olelo mai ai o Iehova, i mai la, E ai na ilio ia Iezebela ma ka pa o Iezereela.
Ngalokho uThixo uthi ngoJezebheli: ‘Izinja zizamdabudabula uJezebheli zimdlele emidulini yaseJezerili.’
24 A o ko Ahaba mea make maloko o ke kulanakauhale, oia ka na ilio e ai ai; a o ka mea make ma kula, oia ka na manu o ka lewa e ai ai.
Izinja zizakudla bonke abangabaka-Ahabi abafela edolobheni, izinyoni zezulu zizakudla labo abazafela emaphandleni.”
25 Aohe mea like me Ahaba, ka mea i kuai lilo aku ia ia iho e hana ma ka hewa, ma ke alo o Iehova, ka mea a Iezebela kana wahine i hooikaika aku ai.
(Akuzange kube lendoda eyayifanana lo-Ahabi yena owazinikela ukuthi adale isono phambi kukaThixo, ekhuthazwa ngumkakhe uJezebheli.
26 Hana hoi oia i ka mea e inaina nui ia i kona hahai ana mamuli o na akuakii, e like me ka Amora i hana'i a pau, ka poe a Iehova i kipaku aku ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
Waziphatha butshapha kakhulu elandela izithombe, njengama-Amori wona ayesuswe nguThixo phambi kuka-Israyeli.)
27 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba i keia mau olelo, uhae ae la oia i kona kapa, a kau i ke kapa eleele i kona io, a hookeai iho. a moe iho la iloko o ke kapa eleele, a hele malie no hoi.
U-Ahabi wathi esizwa lawomazwi, wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wembatha amasaka wazila. Walala embethe amasaka wahamba edanile.
28 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo lathi ku-Elija umThishibi:
29 Ke ike nei anei oe i ko Ahaba hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u? No kona hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u, aole au e lawe mai i ka poino, i kona mau la; aka, i na la o kana keiki e hoili ai au i ka poino maluna o kana ohana.
“Ukubonile na ukuthi u-Ahabi usezithobe kanganani phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuzithoba kwakhe, angiyikumehlisela lobobubi esaphila, kodwa ngizakwehlisela endlini yakhe ensukwini zendodana yakhe.”
