1 Amakhosi 13
1 UJerobhowamu esemi e-alithareni ukuze atshise impepha, kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu eBhetheli evela koJuda elelizwi likaThixo,
Kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro koa Juda modhi Bethel e kinde mane Jeroboam ochungʼ e but kendo mar misango mondo ochiw misango.
2 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.’”
Noywak kokwongʼo kendo misangono kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye: “Yaye kendo mar misango! Yaye kendo mar misango! Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ‘Wuowi miluongo ni Josia ibiro nywol e od Daudi. Kuomi e nochiwe jodolo mag kuonde motingʼore makoro chiwo misengini kuomi, kendo choke dhano ibiro wangʼ kuomi.’”
3 Ngalolosuku umuntu kaNkulunkulu wenza isibonakaliso esithi: “Lesi yisiboniso esivela kuThixo: I-alithari lizadatshulwa phakathi lomlotha ophezu kwalo uzachithwa.”
Chiengʼ nogono ngʼat Nyasayeno nochiwo ranyisi: “Ma e ranyisi ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo: Kendo mar misango biro barore diere ariyo kendo buru man kuome biro pukore oko.”
4 Inkosi uJerobhowamu isizwile isikhalazo sendoda evela kuNkulunkulu nge-alithare leBhetheli yelulela isandla sayo e-alithareni, yathi, “Mbambeni!” Kodwa isandla leso ayeselulile soma wehluleka ukusifinyeza.
Kane ruoth Jeroboam owinjo kaka ngʼat Nyasayeno noywak kokwongʼo kendo mar misango man Bethel norieyo bade kowuok e kendo mar misango kowacho niya, “Makeuru!” To bade mane orieyono kochomo ngʼat Nyasayeno notal mane ok onyal dole.
5 Kwathi i-alithari lalo ladatshulwa phakathi umlotha walo walahlwa, njengokwesibonakaliso esasethulwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngelizwi likaThixo.
Kendo mar misangono bende nobarore diere ariyo kendo buru mage nopukore oko kaluwore gi ranyisi mane ochiw gi ngʼat Nyasaye kod Wach Jehova Nyasaye.
6 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.
Eka ruoth nowacho ni ngʼat Nyasayeno niya, “Kwana Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi kendo lamna mondo lweta odog kare.” Kamano ngʼat Nyasayeno nokwayone Jehova Nyasaye kendo lwet ruoth nodok kare kaka ne en.
7 Wasesithi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: “Ake siye ekhaya ukuba udle, ngizakunika umvuzo.”
Ruoth nowacho ni ngʼat Nyasayeno niya, “Wadhi oda mondo iyud gimoro icham kendo abiro miyi mich.”
8 Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Loba ungaze unginike ingxenye yenotho yakho, kangihambi lawe; kangiyikudla ukudla, njalo angiyikunatha amanzi kulindawo;
To ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoko ruoth niya, “Kata ne bed mana ni inyalo miya nus mwanduni duto ok anadhi kodi kata chamo chiemo kata modho pi ka.
9 ngoba ngilaywe ngelizwi likaThixo ukuthi: ‘Ungabokudla ukudla, unganathi amanzi njalo ungaphenduki ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
Nimar nochika gi wach Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Kik ichiem kata modho pi kata dok gi yo mane ibirogo.’”
10 Ngakho wabuyela ngenye indlela, kasabuyelanga ngendlela ayeze ngayo eBhetheli.
Kamano nokawo yo machielo mine ok odok gi yo mane obirogo Bethel.
11 Kwakulomphrofethi omdala owayehlala eBhetheli, okweza kuye amadodana akhe amtshela ngokwakwenziwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngalolosuku. Amadodana atshela uyise lokuthi indoda leyo yayitheni enkosini.
Koro ne nitie janabi moro moti mane odak Bethel ma yawuote nobiro mowachone duto mane ngʼat Nyasayeno otimo kanyo chiengʼno, bende neginyiso wuon-gi gima nowacho ni ruoth.
12 Uyise wasebuza amadodana ukuthi: “Pho angabe uhambe ngayiphi indlela?” Amadodana atshengisa uyise indlela eyathathwa ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda.
Wuon-gi nopenjogi niya, “Noluwo yo mane?” To yawuote nonyise yo mane ngʼat Nyasaye moa Juda noluwo.
13 Wasesithi emadodaneni akhe, “Lungisani ubabhemi lingifakele isihlalo phezu kwakhe.” Kwathi sebemlungisele wagada ubabhemi
Kamano nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda.” Kane gisegawone punda, noidhe
14 walandela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamfica ehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi wambuza wathi, “Nguwe umuntu kaNkulunkulu na ovela koJuda?” Indoda yathi, “Yebo yimi.”
mi noluwo bangʼ ngʼat Nyasayeno. Noyude kobet e tiend yiend ober mopenje niya, “In e ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda?” Nodwoke niya, “Ee en an.”
15 Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi kuye, “Woza siye ekhaya uzokudla.”
Kamano janabi nowachone niya, “Wadhi dala mondo ichiem.”
16 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Angingeke ngiphenduke ukuthi ngibuyele lawe emuva, njalo angingeke ngidle ukudla loba nginathe amanzi lawe kule indawo.
Ngʼat Nyasayeno nowacho niya, “Ok anyal lokora ma adog kodi dala kata chiemo kata modho pi kodi ka.
17 Ilizwi likaThixo lifike kimi lathi, ‘Ungadli ukudla kwalapha, unganathi lamanzi akhona njalo ungabobuyela ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
Osenyisa kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Kik ichiem kata kik imodh pi kanyo kata idog gi yo mane ibirogo.’”
18 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.)
To janabi motino nodwoke niya, “An bende an janabi mana kaka in. Kendo malaika nowuoyo koda gi wach Jehova Nyasaye kawachona ni, ‘Duog kode e odi mondo mi ochiem kendo omodh pi.’” To kata kamano nowuonde.
19 Ngakho umuntu kaNkulunkulu wabuyela laye wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi endlini yakhe.
Kamano ngʼat Nyasaye noduogo kode mochiemo kendo metho e ode.
20 Besahlezi endaweni yokudlela, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye umphrofethi omdala owayemphendule wabuyela laye emuva.
Kane gibedo e mesa gichiemo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi moticha mane odwogo chien.
21 Wakhuluma kulowomuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela koJuda wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usuphikise ilizwi likaThixo awusagcinanga imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akulaya ngayo.
Noywak ne ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda mowacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Isedagi winjo wach Jehova Nyasaye kendo ok iserito chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi omiyi.
22 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.’”
Nidwogo chien mi ichamo makati kendo imodho pi kama nowachoni ni kik ichiemie kata modhoe pi. Omiyo ringri ok enoyiki e kar yiko mar kwereni.’”
23 Kwathi umuntu kaNkulunkulu eseqedile ukudla lokunatha, umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni wambuyisela emuva wafaka isihlalo sakhe phezu kukababhemi wamkhweza.
Kane ngʼat Nyasayeno otieko chiemo kendo metho, janabi mane odwoge chienno nogawone pundane.
24 Uthe esengene indlela yakhe, kwavela isilwane endleleni sambulala, isidumbu sakhe sasala phansi emgwaqweni, kwathi ubabhemi wema ngapha kwesidumbu lesilwane sime ngale kwaso.
Kane en e yore odhi, sibuor noromo kode e yo monege kendo ringe nowit piny e yo, ka punda kod sibuor ochungʼ bute.
25 Abantu ababesedlula lapho babona isidumbu siwele khonapho emgwaqweni, isilwane simi eceleni phansi kwesidumbu, bedlulela edolobheni bayabikela umphrofethi omdala lapho ayehlala khona.
Jomoko mane kadho machiegni noneno ringreno kowit piny kanyo, ka sibuor ochungʼ but ringruokno kendo negidhi mi gilando wachno e dala mane janabi moticha odakie.
26 Kwathi umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni ehambeni lwakhe ekuzwa lokhu, wathi, “Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu odelele ilizwi likaThixo. UThixo umnikele esilwaneni, esimphoqoze sambulala, njengoba ilizwi likaThixo belimxwayisile.”
Kane janabi mane odwoge chien e wuodhe owinjo ma nowacho niya, “En ngʼat Nyasaye mane ochayo wach Nyasaye. Jehova Nyasaye osechiwe ni sibuor mosekidhe kendo onege mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye nosesieme.”
27 Umphrofethi wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ngilungiselani ubabhemi limethese isihlalo.” Akwenza lokho amadodana,
Janabi nowachone yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda kendo negitimo kamano.”
28 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.
Eka nowuok modhi oyudo ringruokno kowit piny e yo ka punda gi sibuor ochungʼ bute. Sibuor ne ok ochamo ngʼatno kata kidho punda.
29 Ngakho umphrofethi wathatha isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasikhweza kubabhemi, wasithwalela edolobheni lakhe lapho afika amlilela khona njalo wamngcwaba khona.
Kamano janabino nokawo ringre ngʼat Nyasayeno mokete e ngʼe punda kendo nodwoge e dalane mondo oywage kendo oike.
30 Wasebeka isidumbu engcwabeni lakhe, wamlilela wathi, “Maye, umfowethu!”
Eka noketo ringreno e kar bure owuon mi giywage kagiwacho niya, “Yaye, owadwa!”
31 Ngemva kokumngcwaba, wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ekufeni kwami, lingingcwabe engcwabeni lona leli okungcwatshwe khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu; libeke amathambo ami ndawonye lamathambo akhe.
Bangʼ yike nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Katho to ikauru e bur kama oyikie ngʼat Nyasayeni; keturu chokena but chokene.
32 Ngoba ilizwi alimemezelayo ngelizwi likaThixo phezu kwe-alithari eBhetheli laphezu kwazo zonke indawana zomhlatshelo eziphakemeyo emadolobheni aseSamariya lizagcwaliseka.”
Nikech wach mane owacho kuluworegi wach Jehova Nyasaye kuom kendo mar misango man Bethel kendo kwongʼ mane okwongʼogo kuonde duto motingʼore malo mitimoe misango manie dala man Samaria biro chopo kare.”
33 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.
Kata mana bangʼ ma, Jeroboam ne ok oloko yorene maricho to nomedo yiero jodolo koa kuom ji mopogore opogore mondo oti kuonde motingʼore. Ngʼato angʼata mane dwaro bedo jadolo nowalo ni kuonde motingʼore.
34 Lesi kwakuyisono sendlu kaJerobhowamu esakhokhelela ekuweni lasekudilikeni kwayo kayaze yaba khona emhlabeni.
Ma e richo mar od Jeroboam mane omiyo opodho kendo kelone kethruok e wangʼ piny.
