2 Kva 1
1 Hanki Israeli vahe'mokizmi kini ne' Ahapu'ma fritegeno, Moapu vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamagiare oti'naku, Israeli vahera ha'huzamante'za hu'naze.
Ngemva kokufa kuka-Ahabi, amaMowabi ahlamukela u-Israyeli.
2 Hagi Ahasia'a Sameria kumate mani'neno mago zupa zare noma'amofo megi'a husga hunte'neno zaho'ma enerire enevuno, ananteti evuramino ra hazenke eri'ne. Anama huteno'a kato vahe'a zamasmino amanage hu'ne, Ekroni vahe'mofo anumza Balsebabunte vutma hazenkema erua hazenkefintira kanamregahufi ome antahigetma keho.
U-Ahaziya wayewele embotsheni yendlu yakhe engaphezulu eSamariya walimala. Wathumela izithunywa, wathi kuzo, “Hambani liyebuza kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, ukuthi kambe ngizasila yini kulokhu kulimala na.”
3 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Tisbe kumateti kasnampa ne' Elaijana amanage huno asmi'ne, Otinka Sameria kini ne'mo'ma huzmantege'za neaza kato vahe'ma ome nezamagenunka amanage huo, Israeli kumatera Anumzana omani'negeta Ekroni vahe havi anumzana Balsebabuntegatira antahintahia ome erikura nevazo hunka zamantahigo?
Kodwa ingilosi kaThixo yathi ku-Elija umThishibi, “Suka uyehlangabeza izithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya uyezibuza ukuthi, ‘Kambe yikuthi akuselaNkulunkulu ko-Israyeli na ukuze uyehlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni?’
4 E'inahu avu'avazama Ahaziama hiazanku Ra Anumzamo'a huno tamagerfa huno hazenkema erino mase'nea tafetetira oraotino frigahie! Higeno Elaija'a vuno kini ne'mofo kato vahera, anankea ome zamasami'ne.
Ngakho uThixo uthi: ‘Awuyikusuka kulowombheda ogulela kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!’”
5 Elaijama hiankema antahite'za ana kato vahe'mo'za ete'za kini nete vazageno, kini ne'mo amanage huno zamantahige'ne, na'ahigetma ame hutma aze?
Ekubuyeleni kwezithunywa enkosini, yazibuza yathi, “Kungani selibuyile na?”
6 Anage hige'za agri kemofo nona'a amanage hu'za asmi'naze, Mago ne'mo kampi eme tutagiha huranteno amanage huno tasami'ne, huramantegeta e'naza kini nera amanage huta ete ome asamiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Israelia Anumzana omani'negenka Ekroni vahe havi anumzana Balzebabunteti antahintahia erikura huzmantanke'zma e'nazo? E'inahu kavukvama hu'nanana, hazenkema erinka tafete'ma mase'nampintira onkanamrenka tamage hunka frigahane huno hu'ne.
Izithunywa zaphendula zathi, “Kulendoda esihlangabezileyo yathi kithi, ‘Buyelani enkosini elithumileyo liyeyitshela ukuthi, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Kungenxa yokuthi akulaNkulunkulu yini ko-Israyeli okubangele ukuthi uthumele abantu ukuyahlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu we-Ekroni na? Ngakho awuyikuvuka kulowombheda olele kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!”’”
7 Anankema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a amanage huno zamantahige'ne, inanknahu ne'mo eme tutagihara huramanteno anankea tamasami'ne?
Inkosi yabuza izithunywa yathi, “Ngumuntu onjani lowo olihlangabezileyo waselitshela lokhu?”
8 Hige'za kini ne' Ahazia ke'mofo nona'a amanage hu'za asami'naze, Ana ne'mofo avufarera azokamoke higeno, agra zagagafamofo azokateti tro hu'naza kukena antani'neno, zagagafamofo akruteti tro hu'naza amu'nofi afafafina hu'ne. Anankema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a, e'i Tisbe kumateti ne' Elaija'e.
Izithunywa zaphendula zathi, “Yindoda ebigqoke isigqoko soboya ekhalweni ibophe ngozwezwe.” Inkosi yathi, “Lowo ngu-Elija umThishibi.”
9 Anante kini ne'mo'a 50'a sondia vahete ugote'nea ne' mago avrenteno 50'a sondia vahe'ene huzamantege'za Elaija avrenaku vu'naze. Hagi Elaija'ma mani'nea osi agonare vute'za, sondia vahete ugote'nea ne'mo'a ana agonafi marerino Elaijanku amanage hu'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'moke, kini ne'mo'a kagrikura eraminka eme nago hu'ne.
Inkosi yasithumela ku-Elija induna yebutho labantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yebutho yakhwela yaya ku-Elija, owayehlezi phezu koqaqa, yafika yathi kuye, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ithi, ‘Yehla!’”
10 Higeno Elaija'a ana sondia vahete kva nera amanage huno asmi'ne, Nagrama Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma mani'nesugeno'a, monafintira tevemo'a eramino kagri'ene 50'a sondia vaheka'a terasgesie. Higeno monafinti tevemo'a eramino ana sondia vahete kva ne'ene, 50'a sondia vahe'enena te fanane hu'ne.
U-Elija ephendula induna yebutho wathi, “Nxa ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, kakwehle umlilo ovela ezulwini ukuqothule wena kanye labantu bakho abangamatshumi amahlanu!” Lakanye wehla umlilo uvela ezulwini wayiqothula induna yebutho kanye labantu bayo.
11 Anama higeno'a ete mago'ene kini ne' Ahazia'a sondia vahete ugagota hu'nea nera mago avrenteno 50'a sondia vahe'ene huzamantege'za Elaijana ete ome avre'za enaku vu'naze. Hagi anante uhanatite'za sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'moka, kini ne'mo'a ame hunka eraminka eme nago huno hu'ne!
Ngokubona lokho inkosi yathuma ku-Elija eyinye induna yebutho lamanye amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yathi ku-Elija, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ithi, ‘Yehla khathesi.’”
12 Hianagi Elaija'a kezmimofo nona'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagrama Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma tamage hu'na mani'nesugeno'a, monafinti tevemo'a eramino, kagri'ene 50'a sondia vaheka'a te vagaresie. Higeno monafinti Anumzamofo tevemo eramino ana sondia vahete kva ne'ene 50'a sondia naga'anena te fanane hu'ne.
U-Elija waphendula wathi, “Nxa ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, kakwehle umlilo ovela ezulwini ukuqothule wena kanye labantu bakho!” Ngakho umlilo kaNkulunkulu wehla uvela ezulwini waqothula izinduna zamabutho ezakuqala zombili kanye labo bonke abantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu.
13 Hanki anante nampa 3rera kini ne'mo'a ru'ene sondia vahete ugagote'nea ne' mago avrenenteno, 50'a sondia vahe'ene huzamantege'za Elaijana ete ome avre'za enaku vu'naze. Hanki ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a Elaija'ma agonafima mani'nere vuno agiafi rena omereno amanage huno asmi'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'moka muse hugantoanki, nagri'ene sondia vahe'ni'anena, antahiraminka kasunku huranto.
Ngakho inkosi yathuma induna yebutho yesithathu labantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yebutho yesithathu yakhwela yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka-Elija yamncenga yathi, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, akube lesihawu ngempilo yami leyamadoda la angamatshumi amahlanu, thina sizinceku zakho!
14 Hanki kote'ma monafinti tevemo'ma eramino, ugagota sondia netrene, sondia vahe zani'anema te fanenema hu'neana nagra antahi'noe. Hanki menina antahinaminka kasunku hunanto.
Angithi uyabona, umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini waqothula izinduna zamabutho lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu induna nganye. Kodwa manje akunakekele impilo yami!”
15 Higeno anante Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Elaijana amanage huno asmi'ne, Korora osunka agrane amne uramio. Higeno Elaija'a otino ana sondia vahete kva ne'ene uramino, kini nete vu'ne.
Ingilosi kaThixo yathi ku-Elija, “Yehla kanye layo induna; ungayesabi.” Ngakho u-Elija wasukuma wehla kanye lenduna waya enkosini.
16 Hanki Elaija'a kini nera amanage huno asmi'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Israelia Anumzama mani'neana Agripintima antahi'zana eri'zankura na'ante kato vaheka'a huzmantanke'za Ekroni vahe anumzana Balsebabuntegatira antahintahia ome erikura vu'naze. E'inahu kavukvama hu'nana zantera tamagerfa hunka hazenkema erinkama tafete'ma mase'nampintira onkanamrenka frigahane.
Wasesithi enkosini, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Kungenxa yokuthi akulaNkulunkulu yini ko-Israyeli ukuze uthume izithunywa ukuthi ziyohlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu we-Ekroni na? Ngenxa yesenzo sakho lesi, awuyikuvuka kulowombheda olele kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!”
17 Hagi henka Ra Anumzamo'ma Elaijama asami'nea kante anteno, Ahazia'a fri'ne. Hagi Ahazia'a ne' mofavrea onte'negu huno agri negna Joramu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne. Ana knafina Jehosafati nemofo Jehoramu'ma Juda naga'mokizmi kini fore huno nampa 2 kafu mania knafi ana zana fore hu'ne.
Lakanye wafa, njengelizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa ngu-Elija. Njengoba u-Ahaziya wayengelandodana, ubukhosi bakhe bathathwa nguJoramu owaba yinkosi ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda.
18 Hanki Ahazia'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore'ma nehigeno, agranema tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agigenkea, Israeli kini vahe'mokizmi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
Konke okwembali yokubusa kuka-Ahaziya, kanye lakwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
