1 Hagi ana knafina Aramu vahe kini ne' Ben-hadati'a maka sondia vahe'a zamavare atru nehuno, 32'a kini vahetamine erihagerafino hosi afutamine, karisiraminena eri anteraro hu'ne. Hagi ana'ma hutege'za ana maka'moza vu'za Sameria kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.
Wakati huu, Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akakusanya jeshi lake lote. Akifuatana na wafalme thelathini na wawili wakiwa na farasi na magari ya vita, akakwea kuuzingira kwa jeshi Samaria na kuishambulia.
2 Hagi ana'ma nehuno'a Ben-hadati'a amanage huno Israeli kini ne' Ahapuntega kea atregeno ana rankumapina ufre'ne. Amanage huno kini ne' Ben-hadati'a hie,
Akawatuma wajumbe katika mji kwa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi:
3 Silvane golinema ante'nanana nagri su'a megeno, hentofa a'neka'ane mofavreraminka'anena nagri su'a mani'naze.
‘Fedha yako na dhahabu ni yangu, nao wake zako walio wazuri sana na watoto ni wangu.’”
4 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, kema hana kante ranimoka kagri suza manugeno, maka zama ante'noana kagri su'a me'ne.
Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Iwe kama usemavyo, bwana wangu mfalme. Mimi na vyote nilivyo navyo ni mali yako.”
5 Hagi Ben-hadati'ma kema erino vuno eno'ma hu vahe'mo'a, ete mago'ane eno amanage eme hu'ne, Ben-hadati'a amanage huno hie, Nagra ko amanage hu'na huntogeno vu'ne, silvane golinema antenanana nagri su'a megeno, maka a'neraminka'ane mofavreraminka'anena nagri su'a mani'naze.
Wale wajumbe wakaja tena na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi: ‘Nimetuma kutaka fedha yako na dhahabu, wake zako na watoto wako.
6 Hianagi oki'na ama ana knarera, eri'za vahe'ni'aramina huzmantenuge'za vu'za nonka'afinti'ene eri'za vaheka'amofo nontmimpinti'enena maka knare'nare zantamina ome erigahaze.
Lakini kesho wakati kama huu, nitawatuma maafisa wangu kukagua jumba lako la kifalme na nyumba za maafisa wako. Watatwaa kitu unachokithamini nao watakichukua.’”
7 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne'mo'a maka Israeli ranra vahetmina kehutru huno amanage huno zamasami'ne, ama ne'mo'ma hazenkema eri fore'ma nehiana keho! Kema hirera Nagra i'o osu'na, ko hu izo huntena silvane goline a'neramini'ane, mofavre naga'nianena amigahue, hu'na hu'noe.
Mfalme wa Israeli akawaita wazee wote wa nchi na akawaambia, “Tazama jinsi mtu huyu anavyochokoza! Wakati alipotuma apelekewe wake zangu na watoto wangu, fedha zangu na dhahabu yangu, sikumkatalia.”
8 Hagi anagema hige'za maka ranra vahetamine, maka vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za antahintahia ami'naze, kezmia ontahio.
Wazee na watu wote wakajibu, “Usimsikilize, wala usiyakubali matakwa yake.”
9 Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Ahapu'a amanage huno Ben-hadati'ma hianke'ma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahera zamasami'ne, ranimo kini ne'mo'ma, ese'ma nantahigea zantamina kamigahue hu'na hu'noe. Hianagi henkama nantahigeno huoma hiazana osugahue. Hige'za ana vahe'mo'za Ahapu'ma zamasamia kea Ben-hadatina ome asami'naze.
Kwa hiyo akawajibu wajumbe wa Ben-Hadadi, “Mwambieni bwana wangu mfalme, ‘Mtumishi wako atafanya yote uliyoyadai mwanzoni, lakini dai hili la sasa siwezi kulitekeleza.’” Wakaondoka na kupeleka jibu kwa Ben-Hadadi.
10 Anagema hazageno'a, Ben-hadati'a amanage huno kea atregeno ete vu'ne. Nagrama Sameria kuma'ma eri haviza hanugeno'ma kugusopanema fananema osanigeno'a, anumzantmimo'za nahe frigahaze.
Kisha Ben-Hadadi akatuma ujumbe mwingine kwa Ahabu, kusema “Miungu iniletee maafa, tena makubwa zaidi, ikiwa vumbi la Samaria litatosheleza konzi moja ya kila mtu ya wale wafuatanao nami.”
11 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno kea atregeno vu'ne, zahufama ha' kukenama eri renehankrea ne'mo'a, ko'ma ha'ma hugatere'nenia vahe'mo'ma, ha kukenama nehate'noma hiankna kea huno puhaha agerura orugahie.
Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Mwambieni, ‘Yule anayevaa mavazi ya vita asije akajisifu kama yule anayevua.’”
12 Hagi Ben-hadati'a mago'a kini vahetamine seli nompi aka ti neneno mani'nere Ahapu'ma hiankea eri'za uhanati'naze. Hagi Ben-hadati'ma anankema nentahino'a, sondia vahe'araminkura amanage hu'ne, Ha' hugahunanki retro hiho, hige'za ana Sameria kumapi vahe ha' huzmante'naku retrotra hu'naze.
Ben-Hadadi alisikia ujumbe huu wakati ambapo yeye na wafalme walikuwa wanakunywa katika mahema yao, na akawaamuru watu wake, “Jiandaeni kushambulia.” Kwa hiyo wakajiandaa kuushambulia mji.
13 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a kasnampa ne'mo'a Israeli kini ne' Ahapunte erava'o huno amanage eme hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, ha' vahekamo'za tusi'a vahe'ma mani'nazana kagra ke'nano? Menina Nagra ana maka ha' vaheka'aramina kazampi zamavarentenugenka nezamahenka Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hunka kenka antahinka hugahane.
Wakati ule ule nabii akamjia Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli na kutangaza, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Je, unaona jeshi hili kubwa? Nitalitia mkononi mwako leo, nawe ndipo utajua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
14 Anagema higeno'a, Ahapu'a kasnampa nera amanage huno antahige'ne, inankna huno anara hugahie, higeno ana kasnampa ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne. Magoke magoke provinsifi sondia vahete'ma kvama hu'naza kasefa sondia vahe'mo'za anara hugahaze. Higeno, iza ana hara agafa hugahie, huno higeno, kagra agafa hugahane huno hu'ne.
Ahabu akauliza, “Ni nani atakayefanya hili?” Nabii akamjibu, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo watafanya hili.’” Akauliza, “Ni nani atakayeanzisha vita?” Nabii akamjibu, “Ni wewe.”
15 Hagi anankema Ahapu'ma nentahino'a maka ana provinsiramima kvama hu'naza vahetmimofo kasefa sondia vahetmina kehutru higeno, 232'a vahetami atru hu'naze. Hagi ana amefira 7tauseni'a Israeli vahetmina kehuno eritru hu'ne.
Kwa hiyo Ahabu akawaita maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo, wanaume 232. Kisha akawakusanya Waisraeli wote waliobaki, jumla yao 7,000.
16 Hagi ferutregema segeno Ben-hadati'a 32'a kini vahetaminena seli nompi mani'ne'za aka tina nene'za agafa hu'za neginagi hu'za mani'naze.
Wakaondoka wakati wa adhuhuri, Ben-Hadadi na wale wafalme thelathini na wawili walioungana naye walipokuwa katika mahema yao wakilewa.
17 Hagi ana'ma nehu'za mani'nageno'a, provinsifima kvama hu'naza vahetmimofo sondia vahetamimo'za hahunaku esera Sameria rankumapintira atirami'za erimpi hu'za e'naze. Hagi anama neageno'a, Ben-hadati'ma huzmantege'za kankavama hu'naza, vahe'mo'za sondia vahetamina Sameria ra kumapintira atirami'za neaze hu'za Ben-hadati'na ome asami'naze.
Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo waliondoka kwanza. Wakati huu Ben-Hadadi alikuwa amewatuma wapelelezi, ambao walileta taarifa kusema kwamba, “Askari wanasonga mbele kutoka Samaria.”
18 Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Ben-hadati'a amanage hu'ne, ha hunaku ege, amnema ege'ma nehanazana zamahe ofri amne zamazeriho.
Akasema, “Ikiwa wamekuja kwa amani, wakamate wakiwa hai; ikiwa wamekuja kwa vita, wakamate wakiwa hai.”
19 Hagi provinsima kvama hu'nea vahetmimofo sondia vahetmimo'za egota hazageno, ana zamefira Israeli sondia vahetami e'naze.
Wale maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo wakatoka nje ya mji jeshi likiwa nyuma yao,
20 Hagi ha'ma agafama higeno'a mago mago Israeli sondia vahe'mo'a mago mago ha' vahezmimo'ma ha'ma eme huzmantaza vahetmina zamahe vagare'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za frazageno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamavariri'naze. Hianagi Siria kini ne' Ben-hadati'ene karisima eri'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zanena hosi agumpi mareri'za fre'naze.
kila mmoja akamuua adui yake. Hii ilisababisha Waaramu kukimbia, huku Waisraeli wakiwafuatia. Lakini Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akatoroka akiwa amepanda farasi wake pamoja na baadhi ya wapanda farasi wake.
21 Hianagi Israeli sondia vahetmimo'za vu'za hosi afutamine karisiramine, Siria sondia vahetaminena tusi'a vahe zamahe fri'naze.
Mfalme wa Israeli akasonga mbele na kushinda farasi na magari ya vita na kusababisha hasara kubwa kwa Waaramu.
22 Hagi ana'ma hutazageno'a kasnampa ne'mo'a kini ne' Ahapunte erava'o huno amanage hu'ne, menima ha'ma hanana antahintahia retro nehunka manio. Na'ankure Siria kini ne'mo'a anaga'a kafufima tra'zamo'ma ete hage knare eno hara eme hugantegahie.
Baadaye nabii akaja kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Jiandae vizuri ufikirie la kufanya, kwa sababu mwakani mfalme wa Aramu atakuja kukushambulia tena.”
23 Hagi anagema hutege'za Siria kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahe anumzantmimo'za agonafi anumzantami mani'nazankiza hankavezmimo'a tagri hankavea azeri agatere'za hara tagateraze. Hianagi agupofima ha'ma hanunana zamagateregahune.
Wakati ule ule, maafisa wa mfalme wa Aramu wakamshauri, wakamwambia, “Miungu yao ni miungu ya vilimani. Ndiyo sababu walikuwa na nguvu sana kutuzidi. Lakini kama tukipigana nao katika nchi tambarare, hakika tutawashinda.
24 Hagi amana huo, esera 32'a kini vahetmina zamazeri atrenka, zamagri nontera sondia vahetmimofo kva vahetami zamavarento.
Fanya hivi: Waondoe hao wafalme wote thelathini na wawili kutoka nafasi zao na uweke maafisa wengine mahali pao.
25 Ana nehunka zamahe hana'ma hu'nazankna sondia vahetami nezamavarenka, hapima zamahe'nazankna hosi afutamine, karisiramine tamigeta agupofi hara ome huzmantamneno. Hazageno Ben-hadati'a ana antahintahima amiza antahintahirera, knarera huno anaza hu'ne.
Ni lazima pia uandae jeshi jingine kama lile ulilopoteza, farasi kwa farasi, gari la vita kwa gari la vita, ili tuweze kupigana na Israeli katika nchi tambarare. Kisha kwa hakika tutakuwa na nguvu kuliko wao.” Akakubaliana nao naye akashughulika ipasavyo.
26 Hagi ete mago kafufima trazama hage knarera, Ben-hadati'a Siria sondia vahetmina zamavareno Afeki kumate Israeli vahe ha' huzmante'naku vu'ne.
Mwaka uliofuata, majira kama hayo, Ben-Hadadi akawakusanya Waaramu mpaka Afeki kupigana dhidi ya Israeli.
27 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Israeli sondia vahetami ke hutru hu'za keonke zazmia retro hute'za Siria sondia vahe'mokizmi ha' huzmante'naku vu'naze. Israeli vahe'mo'za osi'a sipisipi afu kevumoza eri atruma nehazaza hu'za tarefi seli no ome ki'za mani'naze. Hianagi Siria sondia vahe'mo'za ana agupofina mani vite'naze.
Baada ya Waisraeli kukusanywa na kupewa mahitaji, walikwenda kukabiliana nao. Waisraeli wakapiga kambi mkabala nao kama makundi mawili madogo ya mbuzi, wakati Waaramu walienea katika nchi yote.
28 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Israeli kini ne' tava'onte eno amanage eme hu'ne, amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za amanage haze, Ra Anumzamo'a agupofi anumza omani'neanki, agonafi anumza mani'ne hu'za hazankina, ama tusi'a sondia vahera zamahe hana hanugenka, Nagrikura Ra Anumzane hunka kenka antahinka hugahane huno hu'ne.
Mtu wa Mungu akaja na kumwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Kwa sababu Waaramu wanafikiri Bwana ni Mungu wa vilimani na sio Mungu wa mabondeni, nitatia jeshi hili kubwa mkononi mwako, nawe utajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
29 Hagi 7ni'a knamofo agu'afina Siria sondia vahe'mo'za kantu kaziga seli nona ki'za manizageno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za kama kaziga seli nona kiza mani'naze. Hagi namba 7nima hiankna zupa hara agafa higeno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za mopafima nevu'za ha'ma nehaza Siria sondia vahera 100 tauseni'a zamahe fri'naze.
Kwa siku saba walipiga kambi wakitazamana na siku ya saba vita vikaanza. Waisraeli wakawajeruhi askari wa miguu wa Waaramu 100,000 kwa siku moja.
30 Hagi mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za fre'za Afeki rankumapi ufrazageno, ana kumate'ma vihuma hu'za mareri'naza havemo fraguvaziramino 27 tauseni'a sondia vahera zamahe vagare'ne. Hagi Ben-hadati'enena freno viazamo ana kumapina mago nomofona, vahe frakizane huno agu'afinka hunaragintenefi ome fraki'ne.
Waliobaki wakatorokea katika mji wa Afeki, mahali ambapo watu 27,000 waliangukiwa na ukuta. Naye Ben-Hadadi akakimbilia mjini na kujificha kwenye chumba cha ndani.
31 Hagi Ben-hadatina ugota eri'za vahetmimo'za amanage hu'za asami'naze, Israeli kini vahetmina vaheku zamasunku hu kini vahe mani'naze hu'za hazageta antahinone. E'ina hu'negu tagra zmasunkuma hu'zama nentaniza atafa kukena tafafafina ruganegita tanuntera nofi ruganegita Israeli kini netera vanune. Hagi e'ina'ma hanunkeno'a ontahe tatrenigeta manigahune.
Maafisa wake wakamwambia, “Tazama, tumesikia kwamba wafalme wa nyumba ya Israeli wana huruma. Twendeni kwa mfalme wa Israeli tukiwa tumevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwetu na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyetu. Huenda akakuacha hai.”
32 Anage nehu'za zamasunku'ma nehu'zama nentaniza atafa kukena zmafafafina rugagi'za nentaniza, zamanuntera nofi ruganegi'za Israeli kini nete vu'za amanage ome hu'naze, Ben-hadati'a eri'za neka'amo'a amanage hie, muse hugantoanki onahenka natregena mani'neno huno hie. Anagema hazageno'a Israeli kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Agra nenfuki ofri amne mani'negeta eme nehazo? huno zamantahige'ne.
Wakiwa wamevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwao na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyao, walikwenda kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Mtumishi wako Ben-Hadadi anasema: ‘Tafadhali, naomba uniache hai.’” Mfalme akajibu, “Je, bado yuko hai? Yeye ni ndugu yangu.”
33 Hagi anankema nentahiza e'i knare ke hie hu'za nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Izo Ben-hadati'a negafu'e, hu'za hazageno amanage huno Israeli kini ne'mo'a hu'ne. Hagi vuta ome avreta eho, huno huzmante'ne. Hagi Ben-hadati'ma atiramino egeno'a, (Ahapu'a) higeno karisifi mareri'ne.
Wale watu wakalipokea jambo lile kama dalili nzuri nao wakawa wepesi kulichukua neno lake wakisema, “Ndiyo, yeye ni ndugu yako Ben-Hadadi!” Mfalme akawaambia, “Nendeni mkamlete.” Ikawa Ben-Hadadi alipokuja, Ahabu akampandisha katika gari lake la vita. Ben-Hadadi akajitolea, akisema,
34 Hagi ana karisifi mareriteno'a amanage huno Israeli kini nera asami'ne, Nenfa'ma kagri negafama aheno hanare'nea kumatmina ete maka kaminugenka, nenfa'ma Sameria kumate'ma hu'neaza hunka fenoma mizaseno ete fenoma zagore'ma atre kumara Damaskasi kumate ana zana tro hugahane. Anagema higeno'a, Ahapu'a amanage huno asami'ne, E'ima kema hana antahintahire menina katresugenka vugahane. Anage nehuno erihagerafike manisa'a huvempagea huteno, atreno vu'ne.
“Nitairudisha ile miji ambayo baba yangu aliiteka kutoka kwa baba yako. Unaweza kuweka maeneo yako ya soko katika Dameski, kama baba yangu alivyofanya huko Samaria.” Ahabu akasema, “Katika misingi ya mkataba, nitakuachilia huru.” Kwa hiyo akaweka mkataba naye, akamruhusu aende zake.
35 Hagi ana'ma hutakeno'a, kasnampa vahe kevufinti Ra Anumzamo'a mago kasnampa ne' asamigeno otino mago kasnampa nekura naho huno hu'neanagi, ana ne'mo'a ohe'ne.
Kwa neno la Bwana, mmoja wa wana wa manabii akamwambia mwenzake, “Nipige kwa silaha yako,” lakini yule mtu akakataa.
36 Ana'ma higeno'a ana kasnampa ne'mo'a kema ontahia kasnampa nekura amanage hu'ne, na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo kea ontahi'nankino, menima amareti'ma atrenkama nevnankeno'a laionimo kahe frigahie. Anagema higeno, ana ne'mo'a nevigeno laionimo ahe fri'ne.
Kwa hiyo yule nabii akasema, “Kwa sababu hukumtii Bwana, mara tu tutakapoachana utauawa na simba.” Na baada ya yule mtu kuondoka, simba akatokea na kumuua.
37 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, ete ana kasnampa ne'mo'a mago ne' ome keno amanage hu'ne, Naho, huno higeno ana nera ahe kuzafa hu'ne.
Nabii akamkuta mtu mwingine na kumwambia, “Nipige tafadhali.” Kisha yule mtu akampiga na kumjeruhi.
38 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a ana kasnampa ne'mo'a vahe'mo'ma kezankura tavravenu avugosafina anakino antene hananeno kante kini ne avega ome anteno mani'ne.
Ndipo nabii akaenda na kusimama barabarani akimsubiri mfalme. Akajibadilisha kwa kushusha kitambaa cha kichwani mwake hadi kwenye macho.
39 Hagi kini ne'ma eneviana ana kasnampa ne'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na tusi'a hapi mani'nogeno mago sondia ne'mo'a mago ha' ne' azerino avreno eme nenamino amanage hu'ne, Ama nera kegava huso'e huo. Hagi kegava huso'e osnankeno'ma katreno'ma fresige'na eme kahe frige, hanugenka kna'amo'a 30 tauseni'a kilo hu'nesnia silva zago mizasegahane,
Mfalme alipopita pale, yule nabii akamwita, “Mtumishi wako alikwenda vitani wakati vita vilipopamba moto, mtu mmoja akanijia na mateka akasema, ‘Mlinde mtu huyu. Kama akitoroka itakuwa uhai wako kwa uhai wake, ama vipande 3,000 vya fedha.’
40 Hagi anagema higena ke'onke zamofoma urimete erimetema nehuama'a, ana ne'mo'a natreno fre'ne. Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe' kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu anazamofo mizama'a kagrama kema hana kante antenka erigahane.
Wakati mtumishi wako alipokuwa na shughuli nyingi hapa na pale, yule mtu akatoweka.” Mfalme wa Israeli akasema, “Hiyo ndiyo hukumu yako. Wewe umeitaja mwenyewe.”
41 Anagema nehigeno'a, ana kasnampa ne'mo'a ame'ama huno ana tavaravea avugosafintira eritregeno, Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a kasnampa vahetmimpinti mago zamimo'e huno keni hu'ne.
Kisha yule nabii akajifunua macho yake haraka, na mfalme wa Israeli akamtambua kama mmoja wa manabii.
42 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma ana kasnampa ne'ma keni'ma higeno'a amanage huno asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie. Ahe frio hu'nama hua nera amne atrankeno vu'ne. E'ina hu'negu agri no erinka kagra frisankeno, vahekamo'za agri vahe'mokizmi no eri'za haviza hugahaze.
Akamwambia mfalme, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Umemwacha huru mtu niliyekusudia afe. Kwa hiyo ni uhai wako kwa uhai wake, watu wako kwa watu wake.’”
43 Hagi Israeli vahe' kini ne'mo'ma anankema nentahino'a, avugosamo'a evuramigeno tusi rimpagna nehuno noma'arega Sameria vu'ne.
Kwa uchungu na hasira, mfalme wa Israeli akaenda kwenye jumba lake la kifalme huko Samaria.
