1 Ndị Eze 21
1 Mgbe nwa oge nta gasịrị, Nebọt, onye Jezril, nwere ubi vaịnị dị na Jezril, nʼakụkụ ụlọeze Ehab bụ eze Sameria.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNabothi umJizereyeli wayelesivini esasiseJizereyeli phansi kwesigodlo sikaAhabi inkosi yeSamariya.
2 Ehab sịrị Nebọt, “Nye m ubi vaịnị gị ka ọ bụrụ ubi a gbara ogige, ebe m ga-akụ akwụkwọ nri, ebe ọ dị nso nʼụlọeze m. Aga m enye gị ubi vaịnị ọzọ dị mma karịa ya, ma ọ bụrụkwa na ị chọrọ, aga m akwụ gị ego ọbụla o ruru nʼọnụ ahịa ya.”
UAhabi wasekhuluma loNabothi esithi: Ngipha isivini sakho ukuze sibe kimi yisivande semibhida, ngoba siseduze phansi kwendlu yami; ngizakunika isivini esingcono kulaso esikhundleni saso; uba kukuhle emehlweni akho, ngizakunika imali ngentengo yaso.
3 Ma Nebọt zara sị Ehab, “Ala a bụ ihe nketa ruuru m site nʼaka nna nna m ha. M ga-esi aṅaa nye gị ya. Onyenwe anyị ekwela na m ga-ewere ihe nketa nke nna nna m ha nye gị.”
Kodwa uNabothi wathi kuAhabi: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngikunike ilifa labobaba.
4 Ehab jiri obi ụfụ na ihu mgbarụ laa nʼụlọ ya nʼihi okwu a Nebọt, onye Jezril gwara ya, sị, “Agaghị m enye gị ihe nketa nna nna m ha.” O dinara nʼihe ndina ya, chee ihu ya nʼaja ụlọ, jụ iri ihe ọbụla.
UAhabi wasengena endlini yakhe enyukumele ethukuthele ngenxa yelizwi uNabothi umJizereyeli ayelikhulume kuye, ngoba wayethe: Kangiyikukunika ilifa labobaba. Wasecambalala embhedeni wakhe, waphendula ubuso bakhe, kadlanga ukudla.
5 Ma nwunye ya bụ Jezebel, bịakwutere ya jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji jụ iri ihe? Gịnị mere i ji nọgide nʼobi ọjọọ na iwe?”
UJezebeli umkakhe wasesiza kuye wathi kuye: Kungani umoya wakho usineme ukuze ungadli ukudla?
6 Ehab zara sị ya, “Agwara m Nebọt, nwoke onye Jezril okwu sị ya, ‘Resi m ubi vaịnị gị, ma ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, aga m enye gị ala ubi ọzọ mara mma nʼọnọdụ ya.’ Ma ọ jụrụ jụwaa isi inye m ubi ahụ.”
Wasesithi kuye: Ngoba ngikhulume loNabothi umJizereyeli ngithe kuye: Nginike isivini sakho ngemali, loba uba uthanda ngizakunika isivini esikhundleni saso; wasesithi: Kangiyikukunika isivini sami.
7 Mgbe ahụ, nwunye ya Jezebel jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị ya, “Ọ bụghị gị bụ eze na-achị Izrel? Bilie, rie nri, enyela obi gị nsogbu, nʼihi na aga m enyefe gị ubi vaịnị Nebọt onye Jezril nʼaka.”
UJezebeli umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Khathesi nguwe obusa umbuso wakoIsrayeli? Vuka udle isinkwa, lenhliziyo yakho ithokoze; ngizakunika mina isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.
8 Ya mere, Jezebel dere akwụkwọ nʼaha Ehab, were mgbaaka akara eze kaa nʼakwụkwọ ndị ahụ, zigara ha ndị okenye obodo na ndị a na-asọpụrụ bi nʼobodo ebe Nebọt bi.
Wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo likaAhabi, wazidinda ngophawu lwakhe, wazithumela izincwadi ebadaleni lakuzikhulu, ababesemzini wakhe, behlala loNabothi.
9 Nʼime akwụkwọ ozi ndị a, o dere sị, “Nyenụ iwu ka mmadụ niile buo ọnụ. Kpọkọtaanụ ndị Jezril niile, ka ha zukọta. Mgbe unu zukọrọ, nyenụ Nebọt ọnọdụ nʼoche dị mkpa.
Wasebhala ezincwadini esithi: Memezelani izilo lokudla, limhlalise uNabothi ngaphezulu kwabantu;
10 Họpụtanụ ndị ikom abụọ, ndị na-abaghị uru ka ha pụta nʼihu nzukọ unu guzo gbaa ama ụgha megide Nebọt sị na ha nụrụ mgbe ọ kọchara Chineke na eze. Maanụ ya ikpe ọnwụ, kpụpụ ya nʼazụ obodo, jiri nkume tugbuo ya, ka ọ nwụọ.”
beselihlalisa amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, maqondana laye ukuthi afakaze emelene laye esithi: Uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Beselimkhuphela phandle limkhande ngamatshe aze afe.
11 Ndị okenye na ndị a na-asọpụrụ ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ mere dịka Jezebel nyere nʼiwu nʼakwụkwọ ahụ o degaara ha.
Lamadoda alumuzi wakhe, abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini wakhe, benza njengokuthumela kukaJezebeli kuwo, njengokubhalwe ezincwadini ayewathumele zona.
12 Ha nyere iwu maka ibu ọnụ, kpọọkwa nzukọ ndị obodo ahụ niile, meekwa ka Nebọt nọdụ nʼoche dị mkpa.
Amemezela izilo lokudla, ahlalisa uNabothi phezulu kwabantu.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom abụọ na-abaghị uru pụtakwara, nọdụ na ncherita ihu ya, ha gbara ama ụgha megide Nebọt, nʼihu ndị mmadụ, sị, “Nebọt kọchara Chineke na eze.” Nʼihi nke a, ha dọkpụụrụ ya gaa nʼazụ obodo jiri nkume tugbuo ya.
Asengena amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, ahlala maqondana laye; lamadoda kaBheliyali afakaza emelene laye, emelene loNabothi, phambi kwabantu, esithi: UNabothi uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Basebemkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa.
14 Emesịa, ndị okenye na ndị a maara aha ha nke obodo Jezril, ziri ozi zigara Jezebel gwa ya na Nebọt anwụọla.
Basebethumela kuJezebeli besithi: UNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa.
15 Ngwangwa Jezebel natara ozi na a tụgbola Nebọt, ọ sịrị Ehab, “Bilie, gaa nwetara onwe gị ubi vaịnị Nebọt, nwoke onye Jezril. Ubi ahụ ọ jụrụ inye gị nʼego abụrụla nke gị ugbu a nʼihi na Nebọt anwụọla. Ọ dịkwaghị ndụ ọzọ!”
Kwasekusithi uJezebeli esezwile ukuthi uNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa, uJezebeli wathi kuAhabi: Vuka uthathe isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli sibe ngesakho, ala ukukunika sona ngemali, ngoba uNabothi kaphili, kodwa ufile.
16 Mgbe Ehab nụrụ na Nebọt anwụọla, o biliri pụọ, gaa ịbanye nʼubi ahụ, inwetara onwe ya ubi vaịnị Nebọt, onye Jezril.
Kwasekusithi uAhabi esezwile ukuthi uNabothi ufile, uAhabi wasukuma ukwehlela esivinini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli, ukusithatha sibe ngesakhe.
17 Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Ịlaịja, onye Tishbe, sị ya,
Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
18 “Bilie, gaa zute Ehab, eze Izrel onye bi na Sameria. Ọ nọ ugbu a nʼime ubi vaịnị Nebọt inwetara ya onwe ya.
Sukuma wehle ukuhlangabeza uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya; khangela, usesivinini sikaNabothi, ehlele khona ukuze asithathe sibe ngesakhe.
19 Gwa ya sị ya, ‘Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: I gbuola ọchụ mmadụ si otu a nwetara onwe gị ihe nketa? Ebe ahụ nkịta nọ rachaa ọbara Nebọt ka ha ga-anọ rachaakwa ọbara gị. E, ọbara gị onwe gị.’”
Uzakhuluma kuye uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ubulele futhi wathatha yini kwaba ngokwakho? Njalo uzakhuluma kuye uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Endaweni lapho izinja ezikhothe khona igazi likaNabothi, izinja zizakhotha igazi lakho, ngitsho elakho.
20 Mgbe ahụ, Ehab jụrụ Ịlaịja ajụjụ sị ya, “Onye iro m, ị chọrọkwala m bịa?” Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “E, achọrọla m gị bịa nʼihi nnyefe i nyefere onwe gị ime ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
UAhabi wasesithi kuElija: Ungificile yini, sitha sami? Wasesithi: Ngikutholile, ngoba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
21 Ọ sịrị, ‘Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ dakwasị gị. Aga m ekpochapụ ndị agbụrụ gị, site nʼezinaụlọ Ehab bipụ nwoke ọbụla, maọbụ ohu maọbụ onyenwe onwe ya nʼIzrel.
Khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi, ngiqothule inzalo yakho, ngiqume asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.
22 Aga m eme ka ụlọ gị dịrị ka nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat, na dịka nke Baasha nwa Ahija, nʼihi na ị kpasuola m iwe, meekwa ka Izrel mehie.’
Njalo ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya, ngenxa yesicunulo ongicunule ngaso, wenza uIsrayeli one.
23 “Ma banyere Jezebel, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ụmụ nkịta ga-eri anụ ahụ Jezebel nʼakụkụ mgbidi aja ụlọ dị nʼobodo Jezril.’
LangoJezebeli laye iNkosi yakhuluma isithi: Izinja zizamudla uJezebeli emthangaleni weJizereyeli.
24 “Nkịta ga-eri anụ onye ọbụla si nʼezinaụlọ Ehab nke nwụrụ nʼime obodo, ma anụ ufe nke eluigwe ga-eri anụ ndị ọbụla nwụrụ nʼọhịa.”
OkaAhabi ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu.
25 (Nʼezie, o nweghị onye ọbụla ọzọ dị ka Ehab, onye rere onwe ya nye ime ihe ọjọọ dị ukwuu nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, onye Jezebel nwunye ya kwagidere ime ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche.
Kodwa kakubanga khona onjengoAhabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, uJezebeli umkakhe amkhuthazayo.
26 Ehab bụ onye mere mmehie dị oke njọ nke ịgbaso na ife arụsị dị iche iche ofufe dịka ndị Amọrait mere, bụ ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼala a chụpụ ime ka ndị Izrel nweta ala ha.)
Wenza amanyala kakhulu ngokulandela izithombe, njengakho konke amaAmori akwenzayo, iNkosi eyawaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
27 Mgbe Ehab nụrụ okwu amụma ndị a, ọ dọwara uwe ya, yikwasị onwe ya akwa mkpe, buo ọnụ, dinaa nʼakwa mkpe ahụ, jegharịakwa nʼịdị umeala.
Kwasekusithi uAhabi esizwa lamazwi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wafaka isaka phezu komzimba wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngesaka, wahamba buthakathaka.
28 Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Ịlaịja, onye Tishbe ọzọ, sị ya,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
29 “Ị hụrụ otu Ehab si weda onwe ya ala nʼihu m? Nʼihi ihe a o mere, iweda onwe ya ala nʼihu m, agaghị m eme ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a m kwuru okwu banyere ha rute ya nʼoge ọ dị ndụ. Kama aga m eme ka ihe ndị a dakwasị ezinaụlọ ya mgbe nwa ya ga-achị dịka eze.”
Ubonile yini ukuthi uAhabi uzithobe phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuthi ezithobile phambi kwami kangiyikuletha ububi ensukwini zakhe; ensukwini zendodana yakhe ngizaletha lobububi endlini yakhe.
