1 Mago'a kna evutegeno Jezrieli kumate ne' Naboti'a Jezrieli kumatera, Sameria kini ne' Ahapu nomofo tavaonte waini hoza'a me'negeno kegava hu'ne.
Kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi esithile kwaba lesenzo esithile ngesivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili. Isivini leso sasiseJezerili, phansi kwesigodlo sika-Ahabi inkosi yaseSamariya.
2 Hagi mago zupa kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno Nabotina antahige'ne, Waini hozakamo'a kumani'a tava'onte me'negu, namige'na nani'za hoza nentena, ana nona'a ete mago hoza knarema hu'neania kamige, mizanku'ma hananke'na mizasege haneno.
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 Hianagi Naboti'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a negafampinti'ma erisantima hare'nenana zana, vahera omio huno hu'neanki'na onkamigahue.
Kodwa uNabhothi wathi, “UThixo kangavumi ukuba ngikunike ilifa labobaba.”
4 Higeno'a Ahapuna avugosamo'a evuneramigeno tusi rimpa neheno noma'arega vu'ne. Na'ankure Naboti'a huno, nenfampinti'ma erisantima hare'noa zana onkamigosue, huno hu'neazanku anara hu'ne. Anama higeno'a Ahapu'a kavera oneno avugosa rukrehe huno tafe'are mase'ne.
Ngalokho u-Ahabi wabuyela ekhaya enyukubele njalo ethukuthele ngoba uNabhothi umJezerili wayethe, “Angizukukunika ilifa labobaba.” U-Ahabi walala embhedeni enyukubele wala lokudla.
5 Hianagi nenaro Jesebeli'a eazamo amanage huno eme antahige'ne, na'anku kavugosamo'a evuneramigenka kavera nonane?
Umkakhe uJezebheli wangena endlini wambuza wathi, “Kungani usineme kangaka? Kungani usala ukudla?”
6 Higeno amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Na'ankure Jezrieli kumateti ne' Naboti'na amanage hu'na antahige'noe, waini hozaka'a namige'na hoza nentena, ana nona'a ete mago hoza kamige, mizanku'ma hananke'na mizasege haneno hu'na huana, i'o onkamigosue huno hu'ne.
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 Higeno nenaro, Jesebeli'a amanage huno asami'ne, kagra Israeli kinia mani'nenka Israeli vahera kegava huzmantenananki, otinka ne'zana nenenka atregeno karimpamo'a kna osino. Jezrieli kumateti ne' Naboti waini hoza omeri kamigahue.
UJezebheli umka-Ahabi wathi, “Lokhu yikho okwenzayo njengenkosi yako-Israyeli na? Vuka udle! Uchelese. Mina ngizakuzuzela isivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili.”
8 Anage nehuno Naboti'ma nemania kumate ranra vahetamintegane kva vahe'teganena mago avo kreno Ahapu azanko avo rukamare nenteno atregeno vu'ne.
UJezebheli wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo lika-Ahabi, wazidinda ngophawu luka-Ahabi, wazithumela ebadaleni lakuzo izikhulu ezazihlala loNabhothi emzini wakibo.
9 Hagi ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne. Ne'zana atreta nunamu hu kne huta maka vahetamina kehu atru hinke'za atruma hanageta, Nabotina agesga huta ese trate hinkeno, vahetmimofo zamavuga manino.
Ezincwadini lezo waloba ukuthi: “Memezelani usuku lokuzila libe selibeka uNabhothi esihlalweni esiqakathekileyo phakathi kwabantu.
10 Ana nehuta mago kaziga kefo netre huznantenkeno, umanineke Nabotinkura, Anumzamofone kini ne'enena huhaviza hu'ne huke hunte'o. Hagi anagema hanageta, Nabotina avre atiramita have knonu ahe friho.
Libe selihlalisa izigangi ezimbili maqondana laye lithi kazifakaze ngokuthi uthuke uNkulunkulu kanye lenkosi. Libe selimkhuphela phandle liyemkhanda ngamatshe limbulale.”
11 Hagi anankema nentahi'za ana kumapi ranra vahe'ene, kva vahe'mo'za Jesebeli'ma avoma krezamino'ma hiho huno'ma hiaza hu'naze.
Ngakho abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini kaNabhothi benza lokho ababekuthunywe nguJezebheli ngezincwadi ayebalobele zona.
12 Hagi ne'za atreno nunamu hu kna erintazageno, vahe'ma atruma haza vahetmimofo zamavuga Nabotina ese trate avrente'naze.
Bamemezela isikhathi sokuzila bahlalisa uNabhothi esihlalweni esiphakemeyo phambi kwabantu.
13 Hagi tare kefo netremokea Naboti'ma mania tra'mofo kantikaziga emanike amanage huka Nabotina havigea hunte'na'e. Naboti'a Anumzamofone, kini ne'enena huhaviza huzanante'ne. Hagi anagema hakeno'a, Nabotina rankumapintira avre'atirami'za havenknonu ahe fri'naze.
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 Hagi ana'ma nehu'za ana kumapi kva vahe'mo'za Jesebelintega amanage hu'za kea atre'naze, Nabotina hago havenknonu ahe frunkeno fri'ne, hu'za kea atrente'naze.
Basebethumela ilizwi kuJezebheli besithi, “UNabhothi ukhandwe ngamatshe njalo usefile.”
15 Hagi Jesebeli'ma ana kema nentahino'a, amanage huno Ahapuna asami'ne, Jezrieliti ne' Naboti'ma zagore'ma kami zanku'ma i'o huno'ma hu'nea ne'mofo waini hoza otinka omerio. Na'ankure agra omani'neanki, hago fri'ne.
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 Hagi Naboti'ma frie nanekema Ahapu'ma nentahino'a, ana waini hoza omeri nafa'a hunaku urami'ne.
U-Ahabi uthe esizwa ukuthi uNabhothi kasekho, wavuka wayathatha lesosivini sikaNabhothi waseJezerili.
17 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Tisbe kumateti kasnampa ne' Elaijana asami'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Elija umThishibi lisithi:
18 Otinka vunka Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a Sameriama nemania ne'mo, Naboti waini hoza erinaku ana hozafi umani'neanki uraminka ome negenka,
“Yehla uyehlangabeza u-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli obusa eSamariya. Usesivinini sikaNabhothi, uye khona ukuze azithathele lesosivini.
19 amanage hunka ome asamio, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, kagrama Nabotima ahenka hoza'ama enerinka korama'a eriraginanku, kramo'zama Naboti korama hu'zama naza kumate, anahukna hu'za kramo'za kagri korana hu'za negahaze hunka ome asamio.
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 Higeno vigeno Ahapu'a amanage huno Elaijankura hu'ne, Ha' vahenimoka nagrira eme nagenka erifore hane. Anage higeno Elaija'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Izo kagriku hake'na e'noe. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo avurera kefo kavukava hu'nane.
U-Ahabi wathi ku-Elija, “Wo usungitholile, wena sitha sami!” U-Elija wamphendula wathi, “Yebo sengikutholile ngoba uzinikele ukwenza isono emehlweni kaThixo.
21 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Kagrira rama'a hazenke kamigahue. Hagi Ahapuga kagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahera amne vahe'ene, kazokzo vahe'enena maka zamahe vagaregahue.
‘Ngizokwehlisela ukubhujiswa. Ngizabhubhisa izizukulwane zakho ngisuse sonke isilisa sokucina ku-Ahabi ko-Israyeli loba yisigqili loba ngokhululekileyo.
22 Hagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu naga'ene, Ahiza nemofo Ba-asa naga'enema hu'noaza hu'na kagri nagara zamahe hana hugahue. Na'ankure kagra tusiza hunka nazeri narimpa nehenka, Israeli vahera zamazeri kumipina zamante'nane.
Indlu yakho ngizayenza lokhu engakwenza ekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi lekaBhasha indodana ka-Ahija, ngoba ungithukuthelisile wabangela ukuthi u-Israyeli enze isono.’
23 Hagi Jesebelinkura amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne, Jesebeli avufga kramo'za Jesrieli kuma keginamofo agu'afi negahaze.
Ngalokho uThixo uthi ngoJezebheli: ‘Izinja zizamdabudabula uJezebheli zimdlele emidulini yaseJezerili.’
24 Hagi Ahapu nagapinti'ma rankuma agu'afima frisaza vahera kramo'za nesageno, megi'ama frisnaza vahera namamo'za negahaze.
Izinja zizakudla bonke abangabaka-Ahabi abafela edolobheni, izinyoni zezulu zizakudla labo abazafela emaphandleni.”
25 Hagi Ahapu nenaro Jesebeli'ma havi antahintahi amino azeri savari'ma Ahapu'ma higeno, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma havi avu'ava'ma hu'neankna avu'avara mago vahe'mo'e huno kora osu'neaza hu'ne.
(Akuzange kube lendoda eyayifanana lo-Ahabi yena owazinikela ukuthi adale isono phambi kukaThixo, ekhuthazwa ngumkakhe uJezebheli.
26 Hagi ko'ma Israeli vahe'ma ome'nazageno ana mopafima Amori vahe'ma mani'nezama haviza huno kasrino agote avu'ava'ma nehazageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe natitre'neankna huno kaza osu havi anumzantaminte Ahapu'a monora ome hunte'ne.
Waziphatha butshapha kakhulu elandela izithombe, njengama-Amori wona ayesuswe nguThixo phambi kuka-Israyeli.)
27 Hianagi Ahapu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, kukena'a tagato huno zamasunku'ma nehu'za atafa kukenama nehaza kukena eri nehuno, kavera a'o huno mani'ne. Hagi kenage'enena ana kukena antanino mase'neno, tusi asunku hu'ne.
U-Ahabi wathi esizwa lawomazwi, wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wembatha amasaka wazila. Walala embethe amasaka wahamba edanile.
28 Hagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Tisbe kumateti ne' Elaijana asami'ne,
Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo lathi ku-Elija umThishibi:
29 Nagri navugama Ahapu'ma agu'ama erinteramino asunku'ma hiazana hago kano. Na'ankure agra agu'ama erinteramino navuga asunku hianki'na agri knafina ana hazenke zana eriforera osugahuanki, mofavre'amofo knafi ana hazenke zana eri fore hugahue.
“Ukubonile na ukuthi u-Ahabi usezithobe kanganani phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuzithoba kwakhe, angiyikumehlisela lobobubi esaphila, kodwa ngizakwehlisela endlini yakhe ensukwini zendodana yakhe.”
