2 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ie nihomake t’i Akabe, le niola am’ Israele t’i Moabe.
Ngemva kokufa kuka-Ahabi, amaMowabi ahlamukela u-Israyeli.
2 Nitsirikoake boak’ amy tsingarakara’ i efe’e ambone eo e Someroney t’i Ahkazià le nisiloke vaho nampañitrife’e ty ìrake, ami’ty hoe: Akia. añontaneo amy Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone, ke hiambeñe iraho amo areteko zao.
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 Fe hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Elià nte-Tisbý: Miongaha, akia mifanalakà amo ìra’ i mpanjaka’ i Someroneio, le ano ty hoe: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele, t’ie homb’ amy Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone hañontane aze?
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 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Tsy hizotso amy fandreañe nijoña’oy irehe, fa toe hivetrake. Le nienga t’i Elià.
Ngakho uThixo uthi: ‘Awuyikusuka kulowombheda ogulela kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!’”
5 Nimpoly ama’e o ìra’eo, le hoe re ama’e: Ino ty nimpolia’ areo?
Ekubuyeleni kwezithunywa enkosini, yazibuza yathi, “Kungani selibuyile na?”
6 Le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Nifanampe ama’ay t’indaty nanao ty hoe: Akia mimpolia mb’ amy mpanjaka nañirak’ anahareoy, vaho isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele te ihe mañitrike hañontane e Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone? Aa le tsy hizotsoa’o i fandreañe nijoña’o, fa toe hihomake.
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 Le hoe re am’ iereo: T’indaty manao akore ty nifanalaka ama’ areo, nisaontsy i entañe zay ama’ areo?
Inkosi yabuza izithunywa yathi, “Ngumuntu onjani lowo olihlangabezileyo waselitshela lokhu?”
8 Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Ondaty volovoloeñe, midian-kolitse an-toha’e. Le hoe re: I Elià nte-Tisbý izay.
Izithunywa zaphendula zathi, “Yindoda ebigqoke isigqoko soboya ekhalweni ibophe ngozwezwe.” Inkosi yathi, “Lowo ngu-Elija umThishibi.”
9 Aa le nañirake ty mpifehe-limampolo rekets’ i limampolo’ey i mpanjakay. Niañambone mb’ama’e mb’eo iereo, le ingo ie niambesatse an-dengom-bohitse ey. Le hoe re ama’e: O ondatin’ Añahareo, hoe ty enta’ i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa.
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 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià i mpifehe limampoloy: Naho toe ondatin’ Añahare iraho le ee te hizotso boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo, Aa le nikodoiñe boak’ andikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo rey.
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 Nañirake mpifehe limampolo indraike re rekets’ i limampolo’ey. Le nisaontsia’e ty hoe: Ry ‘ndatin’ Añahareo, hoe i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa ami’ty manao zao.
Ngokubona lokho inkosi yathuma ku-Elija eyinye induna yebutho lamanye amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yathi ku-Elija, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ithi, ‘Yehla khathesi.’”
12 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià: Naho toe ‘ndatin’ Añahare iraho, le ee te hizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo. Le nizotso boak’ aman’ Añahare an-dikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo’ey.
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 Nañirake indraike re, le ty mpifehe limampolo fahatelo reketse ty limam-polo’e. Nitroatse mb’eo i mpifehe limampoloy, le nitongalek’ añatrefa’ i Elià eo vaho nihalalia’e ami’ty hoe: Ry ondatin’ Añahare, miambane ama’o, ehe te ho vara am-pahaisaha’o ty fiaiko naho ty fiai’ o mpitoro’o limampolo retoañe.
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 Toe nihotrake boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo namorototo i mpifehe limampolo taolo rey rekets’ i limampolo’ iareoy; fe ee te ho sarotse ampahaoniña’o henaneo ty fiaiko.
Angithi uyabona, umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini waqothula izinduna zamabutho lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu induna nganye. Kodwa manje akunakekele impilo yami!”
15 Le hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovày amy Elià: Mindreza fizotso ama’e, ko hembañe. Le niongake re nizotso mindre ama’e mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
Ingilosi kaThixo yathi ku-Elija, “Yehla kanye layo induna; ungayesabi.” Ngakho u-Elija wasukuma wehla kanye lenduna waya enkosini.
16 Le hoe re tama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ie nañitrik’ ìrake hañontane i Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone; tsy aman’Añahare hao t’Israele hañontanea’o i tsara’ey? Toly ndra tsy hizotsoa’o o fandreañe nijoña’oo fa toe hivetrake.
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 Aa le nihomake re ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’ i Eliày. Le niorotse nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehorame amy taom-paharoe’ Iehorame ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday; amy t’ie tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
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 Le o fitoloñañe ila’e nanoe’ i Ahkaziào, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
Konke okwembali yokubusa kuka-Ahaziya, kanye lakwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
