1 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo ke antahino Juda kumara atreno Beteli kumate vuno Jeroboamu'a Kresramana vu itare mnanentake'za krenaku oti'negeno uhanati'ne.
UJerobhowamu esemi e-alithareni ukuze atshise impepha, kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu eBhetheli evela koJuda elelizwi likaThixo,
2 Anama unehanatigeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a agipi huvazino amanage huno kezati'ne, kresramna vu itamoke, kresramna vu itamoke! Amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Deviti nagapintira mago ne'mofavre fore hanige'za Josaia'e hu'za agia ahegahaze. Hagi ana mofavremo'a kagri agofetura agona agonama havi anumzamofonte'ma mono'ma hunentaza pristi vahe'tmina aheno kresramna vanigeno, kagofetura vahe zaferinaramimo'a tevea regahie.
walethula e-alithareni lelilizwi likaThixo elithi: “Wena alithare! Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi, ‘Kuzazalwa indodana endlini kaDavida, ibizo lakhe lizakuba nguJosiya. Izakwenza umhlatshelo phezu kwakho ngabaphristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo okwakhathesi abenza iminikelo khona lapha, lamathambo abantu azatshiselwa phezu kwakho.’”
3 Anage nehuno ana knareke Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a ke'ama eri tamagema hunakura, avame'zana amanage huno hu'ne, ama avame'zamo hugasamino ama kea Ra Anumzamo hu'ne hugahie, ko, kresramna vu itamo'a tagana vaziraminigeno, tanefamo'a herafiramigahie.
Ngalolosuku umuntu kaNkulunkulu wenza isibonakaliso esithi: “Lesi yisiboniso esivela kuThixo: I-alithari lizadatshulwa phakathi lomlotha ophezu kwalo uzachithwa.”
4 Hagi Kini ne' Jeroboamu'ma Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma Betelima me'nea kresramna vu itagu'ma, kasnampa kema higeno, ana nanekema hiankema nentahino, kre sramnavu itare'ma Jeroboamu'ma mani'nereti azana rusuteno amanage hu'ne, amu nera azeriho, higeno ana zamo'a ru fatgo higeno, ete renamagi zankura tusi amuho hu'ne.
Inkosi uJerobhowamu isizwile isikhalazo sendoda evela kuNkulunkulu nge-alithare leBhetheli yelulela isandla sayo e-alithareni, yathi, “Mbambeni!” Kodwa isandla leso ayeselulile soma wehluleka ukusifinyeza.
5 Ana'ma nehigeno'a Ra Anumzamo'ma ke'ama eri tamagema hu avame'zama Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofo agipi huvazino hu'nea kante anteno kresramna vu itamo'enena fragu vaziramigeno tanefa'mo'a herafirami'ne.
Kwathi i-alithari lalo ladatshulwa phakathi umlotha walo walahlwa, njengokwesibonakaliso esasethulwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngelizwi likaThixo.
6 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofonkura hu'ne, muse hugantoanki, Rana kagri Anumzamofo nunamuna hunka antahigegeno nazana eriso'e hino, higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Anumzamofo antahigegeno, ete ana azana eriso'e higeno ko'ma me'neankna hu'ne.
Inkosi yathi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu, “Ake ungincengele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele, ukuba isandla sami sisiliswe sibuyele esimeni saso.” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasemncengela kuThixo, lesandla sikaJerobhowamu sasiliswa saba njengakuqala.
7 Anante kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Anumzamofo eri'za nera asami'ne, enka noni'afi ne'zana eme nenege'na musezana kami'neno.
Wasesithi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: “Ake siye ekhaya ukuba udle, ngizakunika umvuzo.”
8 Hianagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno kini nera asami'ne, Maka nonka'afima me'neazana amu'nompinti refko hunka kamigahue hugahananagi, nonka'arega kagranena ovugahue. Hagi ama kumapina ne'zana nege, tina negera osugahue.
Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Loba ungaze unginike ingxenye yenotho yakho, kangihambi lawe; kangiyikudla ukudla, njalo angiyikunatha amanzi kulindawo;
9 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hunagru hunante'ne, Ana kumapima vanunka magore hunka tina nege, bretia nege, nehunka ete vu'nana karanka rukrahe hunka omo huno hunante'ne.
ngoba ngilaywe ngelizwi likaThixo ukuthi: ‘Ungabokudla ukudla, unganathi amanzi njalo ungaphenduki ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
10 Anage nehuno Beteli kumara atreno ru kante avaririno kuma'arega vu'ne.
Ngakho wabuyela ngenye indlela, kasabuyelanga ngendlela ayeze ngayo eBhetheli.
11 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, Beteli kumatera mago ranafa kasnampa ne' nemania ne'mofo mofavre'aramimo'za, maka zama ana knare'ma Beteli kumapima Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma eri fore'ma nehuno, kini ne'ma asamia kea eme asami'naze.
Kwakulomphrofethi omdala owayehlala eBhetheli, okweza kuye amadodana akhe amtshela ngokwakwenziwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngalolosuku. Amadodana atshela uyise lokuthi indoda leyo yayitheni enkosini.
12 Hagi ana nanekema nentahino'a nezamafa'a amanage huno zamantahigene, ina kantega vu'ne? Hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma Juda kumate'ma eteno'ma nevige'noma ke'naza kana averi hu'naze.
Uyise wasebuza amadodana ukuthi: “Pho angabe uhambe ngayiphi indlela?” Amadodana atshengisa uyise indlela eyathathwa ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda.
13 Ana'ma hazageno'a amanage huno mofavre naga'agura hu'ne. Ame hutma donki afu'nimofo nofira renteta azeri retro hiho, huno hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za donki afura azeri retro hazageno, ana donki afu agumpi marerino vu'ne.
Wasesithi emadodaneni akhe, “Lungisani ubabhemi lingifakele isihlalo phezu kwakhe.” Kwathi sebemlungisele wagada ubabhemi
14 Hagi ana kasnampa ne'mo'a Anumzamofo eri'za nera avaririno vuno mago oki zafa agafare umaninegeno, ome negeno amanage huno antahige'ne. Kagra Juda kumateti'ma Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma e'nana nero? Huno antahigegeno, Izo nagra ana nere huno hu'ne.
walandela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamfica ehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi wambuza wathi, “Nguwe umuntu kaNkulunkulu na ovela koJuda?” Indoda yathi, “Yebo yimi.”
15 Anagema higeno'a, amanage huno ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a hu'ne, Noni'arega nagrane enka tine bretinena eme no.
Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi kuye, “Woza siye ekhaya uzokudla.”
16 Higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, I'o kagri'enena ete vu'na ama kumapina bretia nege, tina negera osugahue.
Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Angingeke ngiphenduke ukuthi ngibuyele lawe emuva, njalo angingeke ngidle ukudla loba nginathe amanzi lawe kule indawo.
17 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hunagru hunantene. Ana kumapina bretia nege tina negera nosunka, ete katima esanana, kamati'ma vu'nana kantera omenka ru kantega eno huno hunante'ne.
Ilizwi likaThixo lifike kimi lathi, ‘Ungadli ukudla kwalapha, unganathi lamanzi akhona njalo ungabobuyela ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
18 Anagema higeno'a ranafa kasanampa ne'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagrama hanaza hu'na nagra'enena kasnampa ne' mani'noankino, Ra Anumzamo'a ankeroma'a huntegeno amanage huno eme nasami'ne, Ete avrenka nonka'arega egeno ne'zane tinena eme neno huno nasmi'ne. Hianagi havige huno revatga hu'ne.
Umphrofethi omdala wamphendula wathi, “Lami ngingumphrofethi njengawe. Ingilosi seza kimi ngelizwi likaThixo sathi: ‘Ubomletha umbuyisele emuva endlini yakho ukuze ayekudla isinkwa njalo anathe lamanzi.’” (Kodwa wayeqamba amanga.)
19 Hagi ranafa kasnampa nemo'a revatgama higeno'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a, ana ranafa kasanampa ne'ene ne'zane tinena noma'afi ome ne'ne.
Ngakho umuntu kaNkulunkulu wabuyela laye wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi endlini yakhe.
20 Hagi ne'zama nenaza trate'ma umani'nakeno revatgama huno avreno'ma e'nea ranafa kasnampa nera Ra Anumzamo'a asamigeno,
Besahlezi endaweni yokudlela, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye umphrofethi omdala owayemphendule wabuyela laye emuva.
21 Juda kumateti'ma e'nea kasnampa nera ranke huno amanage huno asmi'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofonkea rutagrenka trake'a avaririo huno'ma hiana ovaririnka,
Wakhuluma kulowomuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela koJuda wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usuphikise ilizwi likaThixo awusagcinanga imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akulaya ngayo.
22 Ra Anumzamo'ma ne'zane tinema ono huno'ma hu'nea kumapina ne'zane tinena ete enka eme ne'nane. E'ina hu'negu fri kerfaka'a kagehe'ima asezamante'naza matipina aseogantegahaze.
Uphenduke endleleni wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi lapho utshelwe ukuthi ungaze wadla ukudla kumbe unathe amanzi akhona. Ngenxa yalokho isidumbu sakho asisayikungcwatshwa emangcwabeni abokhokho bakho.’”
23 Hagi Anumzamofo kasnampa ne'mo'ma bretine tinema netegeno'a, ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a agra'a donki afu'a nofi renteno retro hunte'ne.
Kwathi umuntu kaNkulunkulu eseqedile ukudla lokunatha, umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni wambuyisela emuva wafaka isihlalo sakhe phezu kukababhemi wamkhweza.
24 Ana higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a ana donki agumpi nevigeno, laionimo'a karanka eme keno ahe fri'ne. Ana ne'ma ahe frigeno'a, avufgamo'a kampi me'negeno, ana laionimo'a anante otino donki afu'ene mani'ne.
Uthe esengene indlela yakhe, kwavela isilwane endleleni sambulala, isidumbu sakhe sasala phansi emgwaqweni, kwathi ubabhemi wema ngapha kwesidumbu lesilwane sime ngale kwaso.
25 Hagi karankama enevaza vahe'mo'zama kazana, ana nera laionimo ahetreteno anante otino mani'nege'za kete'za Beteli kumate vu'za mikazama fore'ma hu'nea zamofo nanekea ome zamasami'naze.
Abantu ababesedlula lapho babona isidumbu siwele khonapho emgwaqweni, isilwane simi eceleni phansi kwesidumbu, bedlulela edolobheni bayabikela umphrofethi omdala lapho ayehlala khona.
26 Hagi ome revatgama huno avreno'ma e'nea ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a amanage huno hu'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma rutagre'nea nera, Ra Anumzamo'a kema hu'nea kante anteno laioni huntegeno ome ahe'ne.
Kwathi umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni ehambeni lwakhe ekuzwa lokhu, wathi, “Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu odelele ilizwi likaThixo. UThixo umnikele esilwaneni, esimphoqoze sambulala, njengoba ilizwi likaThixo belimxwayisile.”
27 Nehuno anante mofavre naga'agura donki afura nofira renteta azeri retro hiho, hige'za donki afura nofira rente'za azeri retro hu'naze.
Umphrofethi wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ngilungiselani ubabhemi limethese isihlalo.” Akwenza lokho amadodana,
28 Ana hazageno, ana donki afu agumpi nevuno ome keana ana ne'mofo avufga kampi me'negeno donkine lionimokea ana ne'mofo avufgama me'nere otinakeno ome ke'ne. Hagi Laionimo'a ana ne'mofo avufga nege, donki afura aheno negera osu'ne.
wasesuka esiya khonale lapho afumana khona isidumbu endleleni, ngapha kumi isilwane ngale kungubabhemi emaceleni aso. Isilwane asizange sisithinte isidumbu kanti njalo sasivele singazange simthinte lobabhemi.
29 E'ina hu'negeno ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofo avufga donki afu agumpi ome erinenteno, asunku huno zavira neteno asente'naku kuma'arega erino vu'ne.
Ngakho umphrofethi wathatha isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasikhweza kubabhemi, wasithwalela edolobheni lakhe lapho afika amlilela khona njalo wamngcwaba khona.
30 Hagi ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a, nafu nagnanimoke huno krafa huno zavira neteno, agra'a matipi eme asente'ne.
Wasebeka isidumbu engcwabeni lakhe, wamlilela wathi, “Maye, umfowethu!”
31 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma asenteteno'a amanage huno mofavre naga'a zamasami'ne, henkama nagrama frisugeta, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma asente'noa matipi, nagri zaferina agri zaferinama eritruma hanare eritru hunteho.
Ngemva kokumngcwaba, wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ekufeni kwami, lingingcwabe engcwabeni lona leli okungcwatshwe khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu; libeke amathambo ami ndawonye lamathambo akhe.
32 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma asamigeno'ma Beteli kumate'ma me'nea kresramna vu itagu'ma eri haviza hugahue huno nehuno, Sameria kumapima agona agonama havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte kumatmima me'nea kumatmina eri haviza hugahiema hu'nea ke'mo'a nena avufga'a efore hugahie.
Ngoba ilizwi alimemezelayo ngelizwi likaThixo phezu kwe-alithari eBhetheli laphezu kwazo zonke indawana zomhlatshelo eziphakemeyo emadolobheni aseSamariya lizagcwaliseka.”
33 Hianagi ana zama fore'ma hutegeno'a, Jeroboamu'a kefo avu'ava zama'afintira agu'a rukrahera osu'neanki, havi anumzamofo mono noma agona agonama kinte'naza mono nompina pristi vahetmina, amne vahepinti zamazeri oti vava nehuno, iza'oma pristima mani'nuema hia vahera pristi vahe azeri otitere hu'ne.
Langemva kwalokhu, uJerobhowamu kazange aguqule izindlela zakhe zokona, waqhubeka ekhetha abaphristi bendawo eziphakemeyo edobha nje ingqe ngubani ebantwini. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofuna ukuba ngumphristi wayemgcobela indawo eziphezulu.
34 Hagi e'ina zamo'a ra kumi Jeroboamu nagapina fore higeno, maka Jeroboamu nagara ama mopafintira Ra Anumzamo'a zamahe hana hu vagare'ne.
Lesi kwakuyisono sendlu kaJerobhowamu esakhokhelela ekuweni lasekudilikeni kwayo kayaze yaba khona emhlabeni.
