II Na Lii 10
1 A HE kanahiku na keiki a Ahaba ma Samaria. A kakau iho la o Iehu i na palapala, hoouna aku i Samaria, na na luna o Iezereela, na na luna kahiko, a na na kahu o na keiki a Ahaba, i ka i ana'e,
ESamariya kwakulamadodana angamatshumi ayisikhombisa ayengawendlu ka-Ahabi. Ngakho uJehu waloba izincwadi elobela izikhulu zaseJezerili, abadala lakulabo ababesondla abantwana baka-Ahabi. Waloba kanje:
2 Ano, a hiki aku keia palapala io oukou la, no ka noho ana o na keiki a ko oukou haku me oukou, a ia oukou na halekaa a me na lio, a me ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku, a me na mea kaua;
“Masinyazana ekuboneni kwenu lincwadi, njengoba abantwana benkosi yenu besezandleni zenu njalo lilezinqola zokulwa lamabhiza, umuzi wenqaba lezikhali,
3 E imi aku oukou i ka mea maikai a me ka mea pono o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hoonoho ia ia maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a e kaua mai no ko ka hale o ko oukou haku.
khethani lowo elimbona efanele kulabo bonke phakathi kwamadodana enkosi yenu limfake esihlalweni sikayise sobukhosi, beselilwela indlu yenkosi yenu.”
4 A makau loa iho la lakou, i ae la, Aia hoi, aole i ku na'lii elua imua ona; pehea la kakou e ku ai?
Kodwa besaba bathi: “Nxa amakhosi amabili ehlulekile ukumelana laye, thina singakwenza njani?”
5 A o ka luna o ko ka hale, a me ka luna o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko, a me na haku, hoouna aku la lakou io Iehu la, i aku la, He poe kauwa makou nau, a e hana no makou i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai; aole e hoaliiia kekahi; e hana oe i ka mea pono i kou manao.
Ngakho isiphathamandla sesigodlo, usibalukhulu, abadala kanye labalindi bathumela lelilizwi kuJehu, “Sizinceku zakho, njalo sizakwenza konke njengokutsho kwakho. Kakho esizamkhetha ukuba abe yinkosi; yenza lokho obona kulungile kakhulu.”
6 Alaila palapala hou aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, ina no'u oukou, a e hoolohe hoi i ko'u leo, alaila, e lawe oukou i na poo o na kanaka, o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hele mai i o'u nei i Iezereela ma keia manawa i ka la apopo. (A o na keiki a ke alii, he kanahiku lakou e noho ana me na kanaka koikoi o ke kulanakauhale, nana lakou i hanai.)
Ngakho uJehu wabalobela incwadi yesibili esithi, “Nxa livumelana lami njalo lizimisele ukungilalela, qumani amakhanda amadodana enkosi yenu libe selibuya lawo kusasa eJezerili ngasonalesisikhathi.” Amakhosana esikhosini, ayengamatshumi ayisikhombisa, ayehlala lamadoda aqakathekileyo phakathi komuzi, okuyiwo ayesondla amadodana enkosi.
7 A hiki aku ka palapala io lakou la, lawe lakou i na keiki a ke alii, a pepehi iho la i na mea he kanahiku, a waiho lakou i na poo maloko o na hinai, a hoouna aku io na la ma Iezereela.
Incwadi yathi ifika, amadoda la abulala wonke amakhosana angamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Afaka amakhanda awo ezitsheni awathumela kuJehu eJezerili.
8 A hele mai kekahi elele a hai aku ia ia, i aku la, Ua lawe mai lakou i na poo o na keiki a ke alii. I mai la ia, E waiho ia lakou ma na puu elua, ma kahi i komo ai i ka ipuka, a kakahiaka.
Isithunywa sithe sifika satshela uJehu sathi: “Sebewalethile amakhanda amakhosana.” UJehu wasekhupha ilizwi esithi, “Abutheleleni abe zinqwaba ezimbili esangweni lomuzi kuze kube sekuseni.”
9 A i kakahiaka, hele aku ia, a ku, i aku la i na kanaka a pau, Ua pono oukou: aia hoi, ua kipi aku au i kuu haku, a pepehi aku ia ia: aka, owai la ka i pepehi i keia mau mea a pau?
Ngosuku olulandelayo uJehu waphuma; wema phambi kwabantu wathi, “Lina limsulwa. Yimi engithame ukubulala inkosi yami njalo ngiyibulele, kodwa ngubani obulele bonke laba?
10 E ike ana oukou, aole e haule i ka honua kekahi o ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no ko ka hale o Ahaba: no ka mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la kana kauwa.
Alibokwazi ukuthi akukho lalinye ilizwi elivela kuThixo lingxame u-Ahabi labendlu yakhe, elizakwehluleka. UThixo usekwenzile lokho akuthembisa ngenceku yakhe u-Elija.”
11 A pepehi aku la o Iehu i na mea a pau i koe no ko ka hale o Ahaba ma Iezereela, a me kona poe koikoi a pau, a me kona poe hoalauna, a me kana poe kahuna, aole ia i hookoe i kekahi nona.
Ngakho uJehu wabulala bonke eJezerili abendlu ka-Ahabi ababesele, kanye lezikhulu zakhe, abangane bakhe abasekhwapheni labaphristi bakhe, akusalanga muntu kwabendlu ka-Ahabi.
12 A ku ae la ia, a hele aku la a hiki i Samaria. Aia no ia ma ka hale hoopaa o na kahuhipa ma ke aia.
UJehu waphuma njalo waqonda eSamariya. EBhethi-Ekhedi yaBelusi,
13 A loaa ia Iehu na hoahanau o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, a ninau aku la, Owai oukou? I mai la lakou, He mau hoahanau makou no Ahazia, a e iho ana makou e ike i na keiki a ke alii a me na keiki a ke aliiwahine.
wahlangana lezihlobo zika-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda wababuza wathi, “Lingobani lina na?” Bona bamphendula bathi, “Siyizihlobo zika-Ahaziya, njalo sizekwethekelela abendlu yenkosi kanye lendlovukazi engunina.”
14 I aku la, E hoopaa ola aku ia lakou: a hoopaa ola aku la na kanaka ia lakou, a luku aku la ia lakou ma ka luawai o ka hale hoopaa, he kanaha kumamalua na kanaka; aole ia i hookoe i kekahi o lakou.
Yena wathi ezincekwini zakhe, “Bathatheni bephila!” Ngakho babathatha bephila bayababulalela emthonjeni weBhethi-Ekhedi, babengamadoda angamatshumi amane. Kakho loyedwa abamtshiya ephila.
15 A hele ia mailaila aku a loaa ia ia o Iehonadaba ke keiki a Rekaba e halawai me ia: a hoomaikai aku o Iehu ia ia, i aku la, Ua pono anei kou naau, e like me ko'u naau me kou naau? I mai la o Iehonadaba, Oia no. Ina pela, e haawi mai oe i kou lima. A haawi aku ia i kona lima, a hoee aku la ia ia ma ka halekaa me ia.
Ngemva kokusuka kwakhe lapho, wahlangana loJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi, owayesendleleni ezomhlangabeza. UJehu wambingelela wathi, “Wena uvumelana lami na, njengoba mina ngikanye lawe?” UJehonadabi waphendula wathi, “Mina ngilawe.” UJehu wathi, “Nxa kunjalo ngibamba isandla,” kwathi esembambile wamkhweza enqoleni yokulwa.
16 I aku la ia, E hele pu oe me au, a ike oe i kuu ikaika no Iehova. A hooholo lakou ia ia ma kona halekaa.
UJehu wasesithi, “Woza sihambe ngiyekutshengisa ukuphitshekela kwami uThixo.” Ngakho wagada laye enqoleni yakhe yokulwa.
17 A hiki aku la ia i Samaria, pepehi aku la ia i na mea a pau i koe no Ahaba ma Samaria, a pau ia i ka lukuia, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la.
UJehu uthe efika eSamariya, wabulala bonke ababesele khonale abendlu ka-Ahabi, wababhubhisa njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo ekhuluma ku-Elija.
18 Houluulu ae la o Iehu i na kanaka a pau, a i aku la ia lakou, Malama uuku aku o Ahaba ia Baala, e malama nui auanei o Iehu ia ia.
Ngakho uJehu wasebuthanisa abantu bonke wasesithi kubo, “U-Ahabi ubekhonza uBhali kancinyane; uJehu uzamkhonza kakhulu.
19 Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa mai oukou i na kaula a pau a Baala, a me kana poe kauwa a pau, a me kana poe kahuna a pau io'u nei, mai hookoeia kekahi; no ka mea, he mohai nui ka'u no Baala; o kela mea keia mea e koe ana, aole ia e ola. Aka, hana no o Iehu me ka hoopunipuni, i luku aku ai ia i ka poe malama ia Baala.
Ngakho ngibizelani bonke abaphrofethi bakaBhali, zonke izikhonzi zakhe labaphristi bakhe. Linanzelele ukuthi kakho loyedwa ozasala, ngoba ngifuna ukwenza umhlatshelo omkhulu kuBhali. Ongayikubuya kasayikuphila.” UJehu wayebakhohlisa ngoba wayedinga ukubhubhisa abafundisi bakaBhali.
20 I aku la o Iehu, E hoolaa aku i ka houluulu ana no Baala. A hoolaa aku la lakou.
UJehu wasesithi, “Bizani umhlangano wokudumisa uBhali.” Basebewumemezela.
21 A hoouna aku la o Iehu i ka Iseraela a puni; a hele mai na kauwa a pau a Baala, aole i koe aku kekahi i hele ole mai. A komo lakou i ka hale o Baala, a piha loa ka hale o Baala mai kela aoao a i keia aoao.
Wasethumela ilizwi kulolonke elako-Israyeli, beza bonke abafundisi bakaBhali; kakho loyedwa ongezanga. Bagcwala baminyana ethempelini likaBhali kusukela emsamo kusiya emnyango.
22 I aku la ia i ka mea nana i malama ke keena lole, E lawe mai iwaho i ka lole no na kauwa a Baala. A lawe mai no ia i ka lole no lakou.
UJehu wasesithi kulowo owayegcina izigqoko zabakhonza uBhali, “Balethele izigqoko bonke abakhonza uBhali.” Ngakho wabalethela lezozigqoko.
23 Komo aku o Iehu, a me Iehonadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba, iloko o ka hale o Baala, a i aku la i na kauwa a Baala, E nana oukou a ike, i ole maanei me oukou kekahi o na kauwa a Iehova, o na kauwa a Baala wale no.
UJehu loJehonadabi indodana kaRekhabi bangena ethempelini likaBhali. UJehu wathi kubakhonzi bakaBhali, “Linanzelele kungangeni loyedwa oyinceku kaThixo enkonzweni yenu, akube ngabakhonzi bakaBhali kuphela.”
24 A komo aku la lakou e kaumaha aku i ka mohai, a me na mohaikuni, alaila hoonoho iho la o Iehu i na kanaka, he kanawalu mawaho, i aku la, O ka mea nana e hoopakele kekahi o na kanaka a'u i lawe mai nei iloko o ko oukou lima, o lilo no kona ola no ko ia la ola.
Ngakho bangena banikela benza leminikelo yokutshiswa. UJehu wayebeke amadoda angamatshumi ayisificaminwembili wawaqonqosela wathi, “Loba ngubani ozayekela omunye walamadoda engiwabeke ezandleni zenu ephunyuka, ngizaphindisela ngempilo yakhe.”
25 A pau kana kaumaha ana'ku i ka mohaikuni, i aku la o Iehu i ka poe kiai, a i na luna, E komo iloko, e luku ia lakou; mai puka iwaho kekahi. A luku aku la ua poe la ia lakou me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a o ka poe kiai a me na luna hoolei aku la ia lakou, a hele aku la i ke kulanakauhale o Baala.
UJehu wathi eseqedile ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, wathi kubalindi lezikhulu zebutho, “Ngenani liyebabulala; kungabikho loyedwa ozaphunyuka.” Ngakho babatshaya ngenkemba bababhubhisa. Abalindi lezikhulu balahlela phandle izidumbu basebengena ethempelini likaBhali elingaphakathi.
26 A lawe mai lakou i na kii mawaho o ka hale o Baala, a puhi aku la i ke ahi.
Bakhipha ilitshe elikhonzwayo likaBhali balitshisa.
27 A wawahi lakou i ke kii o Baala, a wawahi hoi i ka hale o Baala, a hoolilo lakou ia mea i hale kiona a hiki i keia la.
Balidiliza lelolitshe likaBhali elikhonzwayo babhidliza lethempeli lakhe, balenza laba yindlu yokuyela ngaphandle kuze kube lalamuhla lokhu.
28 A luku aku la o Iehu ia Baala mai loko aku o ka Iseraela.
Ngalokho uJehu wadiliza ukholo lukaBhali ko-Israyeli.
29 Aka hoi, o na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa, aole i haalele o Iehu i ka hahai ana mamuli o lakou, o na keikibipi gula ma Betela a ma Dana.
Kodwa, yena katshiyananga lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, lezo ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuzenza, ukukhonza amathole egolide eBhetheli laseDani.
30 A olelo mai o Iehova ia Iehu, no ka mea, ua maikai oe i ka hana ana i ka pono ia'u, a ua hana aku oe i ko ka hale o Ahaba, e like me ka mea a pau ma ko'u naau, e noho auanei kau poe keiki maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela a hiki i ke kualua.
UThixo wathi kuJehu, “Njengoba wenze kuhle ngokuphelelisa lokho okufaneleyo phambi kwami njalo wenze konke ebengikumisele abendlu ka-Ahabi, abendlu yakho bazabusa ko-Israyeli kuze kube yisizukulwane sesine.”
31 Aka, aole o Iehu i malama i ka hele ana ma ke kanawai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela me kona naau a pau: no ka mea, aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
Kodwa uJehu kazange ananzelele ukugcina umthetho kaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke. Kazange atshiyane lezono ezazisenziwa nguJerobhowamu, lezo ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.
32 I kela manawa i hoomaka ai o Iehova e paipai i ka Iseraela: a luku mai la o Hazaela ia lakou ma na mokuna a pau o ka Iseraela;
Ngalezonsuku uThixo waqalisa ukwehlisa inani labako-Israyeli. UHazayeli wanqoba ama-Israyeli kulolonke ilizwe lawo,
33 Mai Ioredane, mai ka hikina o ka la, i ka aina a pau o Gileada, i ka Gada, a me ka Reubena, a me ka Manase, mai Aroera ma ke kahawai o Arenona, a hiki i Gileada a me Basana.
empumalanga yeJodani kulolonke eleGiliyadi (kuthatha umango kaGadi, okaRubheni lokaManase), kusukela e-Aroweri ngaseSihotsheni se-Arinoni kusiyaphutsha eGiliyadi kungena eBhashani.
34 A o na mea i koe a Iehu, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika a pau, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
Okunye kwezehlakalo lezenzo ngokubusa kukaJehu, konke akwenzayo, aphumelela kukho, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
35 A hiamoe iho la o Iehu me kona poe makua; a kanu lakou ia ia ma Samaria. A noho alii o Iehoahaza kana keiki ma kona wahi.
UJehu wafa walala kuboyise emathuneni aseSamariya. UJehowahazi indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi yabusa.
36 A o ka manawa a Iehu i alii ai maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, he iwakalua na makahiki ia a me kumamawalu.
UJehu isikhathi abusa ngaso u-Israyeli eseSamariya kwaba yiminyaka engamatshumi amabili lasificaminwembili.
