1 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhija indodana kaJerobhowamu wagula,

Hagi ana knafina Jeroboamu nemofo Abiza'a kri eri'ne.

2 uJerobhowamu wathi kumkakhe, “Hamba, uzifihle ngesinye isimo, ukuze kungabikhona ozakunanzelela ukuthi ungumkaJerobhowamu. Ube ususiya eShilo. U-Ahija umphrofethi ukhonale onguye owangitshela ukuthi ngizakuba yinkosi yabantu laba.

Ana'ma higeno'a Jeroboamu'a nenarona amanage huno asami'ne, Kukena hunka ru a'negna hutenka, vahe'mo'a nagri are huno keno antahinora osina Sailo kumate vunka nagri'ma kini manigahane hige'nama kinima mani'noa kasnampa ne' Ahizante vuo.

3 Uthathe izinkwa ezilitshumi, amakhekhe athile kanye legabha loluju, ube ususiya kuye. Uzakutshela okumele kwenzakale emntwaneni.”

Hagi musezama erinte'nenkama vananana 10ni'a bretine, mago'a kekine, tumerima'a me'nea tafenena erinka vunka ama mofavremofontera naza fore hugahifi, ome kenka antahigegeno kasamino.

4 Ngakho umkaJerobhowamu wenza lokho ayekutshilo wasesiya endlini ka-Ahija eShilo. U-Ahija wayengasaboni, eseyisiphofu ngenxa yokuluphala.

Anagema higeno'a Jeroboamu nenaro'a kema hiaza huno ru a'negna huteno, Sailo kumate Ahiza nonte vu'ne. Hagi Ahizana avumo'a haviza hu'ne, na'ankure agra ko ranafa re'ne.

5 Kodwa uThixo wayetshele u-Ahija ukuthi, “UmkaJerobhowamu uyeza uzokubuza ngendodana yakhe, iyagula, njalo uzamnika impendulo le lale ngalokhu lalokhuyana. Ekufikeni kwakhe uzakwenza kungathi kayisuye ezifihla.”

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Ahizana amanage huno asami'ne, Jeroboamu nenaro'a ru a'negna huno mofavre'amo'ma krima eri'nea zanku kantahi kenaku neanki, kva huo. Hagi esanigenka Nagrama kasamuanke asamio.

6 Kwathi u-Ahija esizwa izisinde zakhe phandle wahle wema emnyango, wathi, “Ngena, Nkosikazi kaJerobhowamu, kanti ngokwani ukuzenzisa? Ngithunywe kuwe ngilombiko omubi.

Hagi ana a'mo'ma kahante'ma ne-egeno agagema nentahino'a, Ahiza'a ranke huno amanage hu'ne, Jeroboamu nenaroga emarerio. Hagi na'a higenka ru a'negnara hunka neane? Kagrite'ma havizama fore'ma hania nanekeka'a eri'noe.

7 Hamba, uyetshela uJerobhowamu ukuthi lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ngakondla wakhula phakathi kwabantu ngakwenza umkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.

Hagi vunka negave Jeroboamuna ome asamio, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage hie, na'ankure vahe amu'nompintira kavre'na, Israeli vaheni'are kva manio hu'na hugante'noe.

8 Ngaxebula umbuso endlini kaDavida ngawunika wena, kodwa awuzange wenze njengenceku yami uDavida, yena owagcina imilayo yami njalo wangilandela ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe, esenza konke okuhle phambi kwami.

Hagi kini eri'zana Deviti nagamofo zamazampintira refko hu'na eri kami'noe. Hianagi eri'za ne'ni'a, Deviti'ma hu'neaza hunka kasegeni'a nevaririnka, kagu'areti hunka nagrira namagera nentenka, fatgo kavukava'ma huoma hua avu'avara osu'nane.

9 Wonile okudlula bonke abakwandulelayo. Usuzidalele abanye onkulunkulu, izithombe ezikhandwe ngensimbi, ungithukuthelisile ngazonda njalo ungifulathele.

Hianagi kote'ma mani'naza maka vahera zamagaterenka kefo avu'avara nehunka, ru anumzantamine golire Bulimakao anenta'ma tro'ma hanazamo Nagrira nazeri narimpahe'ne. Ana hunka kamefi hunami'nane.

10 Ngenxa yalokho ngizakwehlisela incithakalo endlini kaJerobhowamu. Ngizabhubhisa bonke abesilisa bokucina ekuzalweni kwabakaJerobhowamu ko-Israyeli loba yisigqili loba okhululekileyo. Ngizayitshisa indlu kaJerobhowamu kungathi ngibase ubulongwe, ize iphele du.

Einahu hanku kagri nagapina hazenke'za atrena maka kagripinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vene'nema, kazokzo vahe'ma amne vahe'enena zamahe hana hugahue. Hagi arifama kre fananema hiaza hu'na, Jeroboamu nagamokizmia kre fanane hanugeno, maka fanane hugahaze.

11 Izinja zizabadla bonke abakaJerobhowamu abafele edolobheni, lezinyoni zemkhathini zizazitika ngalabo abafela emaphandleni. UThixo usekhulumile!’

Hagi Jeroboamu naga'ma rankuma agu'afima fri'nazana, kramo'za zamavufaga traga hugahaze. Hagi rankumamofo megi'ama frisazana, namaramimo'za zamavufaga traga hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo ama anankea hu'ne.

12 Wena, buyela ekhaya. Uzakuthi ubeka unyawo lwakho edolobheni umfana ahle afe.

Anage nehuno Ahiza'a amanage huno mago'ane Jeroboamu nenarona asami'ne, Kagrama rankumofo agu'afima kagiama renka ufresankeno'a, ana mofavrekamo'a frigahie.

13 U-Israyeli uzalila amngcwabe. Nguye yedwa kwabakaJerobhowamu ozangcwatshwa, ngoba nguye yedwa endlini kaJerobhowamu, uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, amthole enze ukulunga.

Ana'ma hanigeno'a, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za zamasunkura hu'za zavira nete'za asentegahaze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu nagapintira agrike mopafina asentegahaze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu nagapina e'ina mofavremoke Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofo avurera knarera hu'neankino atrenige'za azeri so'e hu'za asentegahaze.

14 UThixo uzazivusela owakhe umbusi ozakuba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli, ozachitha imuli kaJerobhowamu. Lamuhla yikho ukuqala kwakho lokho.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a mago kini ne' azeri otinkeno, Jeroboamu nagara zamahe hana hugahie. Hagi e'i ana zana ama knare meni fore hugahie.

15 UThixo uzamtshaya u-Israyeli, kungathi ngumhlanga uzunguzeka emanzini. Uzamquphuna u-Israyeli elizweni lakhe elihle alinika okhokho bakhe abachithe ngaphetsheya komfula uYufrathe, ngoba uThixo bamvuse ulaka ngokwenza izinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera.

Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a timo varoza eri toretore hiankna huno Israeli vahera zamahegahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a knare mopama zamagehemofoma huhampri zmante'nea mopafintira, zamazeri vatitre'nige'za Yufretesi tinkena kaziga mago'mago hu'za manigahaze. Na'ankure Asera a' anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za zamagra retruma re'naza zamo azeri arimpa ahenigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a anara hugahie.

16 Njalo uzamlahla u-Israyeli ngenxa yezono zikaJerobhowamu azenzileyo wakhokhelela lo-Israyeli ukuzenza.”

Jeroboamu'a kumi nehuno, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri kumipi zamante'negu huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera amefi huzamigahie.

17 UmkaJerobhowamu wasuka lapho waqonda eThiza. Wathi enyathela egumeni, indodana yafa.

Hagi anagema higeno'a, Jeroboamu nenaro'a ete Tirza kumate vuno, non kahama'arema ne-egeno'a ana mofavre'amo'a fri'ne.

18 Bayingcwaba njalo, u-Israyeli wonke wayililela njengoba uThixo wayetshilo ngenceku yakhe umphrofethi u-Ahija.

Ana'ma higeno'a maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamo'ma kasnampa ne' Ahizama asamigeno'ma hu'nea kante ante'za zamasunkura hu'za zavira nete'za asente'naze.

19 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso kaJerobhowamu, izimpi lokuthi wabusa njani, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.

Hagi Jeroboamu'ma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, Jeroboamu'ma kinima manineno'ma ha'ma nehuno, Israeli vahe'ma kegavama hu'nea agenkea Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

20 Wabusa okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili wasesiyaphumula labokhokho bakhe ekufeni. Indodana yakhe uNadabi wathatha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkosi.

Hagi Jeroboamu'a 22'a kafu zage kinia maniteno frige'za afahe'mofoma asente'naza matipi asentazageno, nemofo Nadapu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

21 URehobhowami indodana kaSolomoni waba yinkosi wabusa koJuda. Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye eqalisa ukubusa, wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema idolobho elakhethwa nguThixo phakathi kwezizwana zonke zako-Israyeli ukubeka iBizo lakhe. Unina wayenguNahama; engowase-Amoni.

25 Ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaRehobhowami, uShishakhi inkosi yaseGibhithe wahlasela iJerusalema.

26 Wabutha yonke inotho yethempeli likaThixo kanye lenotho yesigodlo sobukhosi. Wahuquluza konke kanye lamahawu enziwe ngegolide ayekhandwe nguSolomoni.

Hagi kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nontegama nevigeno'a, ana hanko eri'ne'za avre'za vute'za, ete kvama hu'zama nemaniza nontera etere hu'naze.

29 Ezinye izehlakalo ekubuseni kukaRehobhowami, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda?

Hagi Rehoboamuma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, Rehoboamu'ma kinima mani'neno'ma ha'ma nehuno, Juda vahe'ma kegavama hu'nea agenkea Juda kini vahetmimofo agenke'ma krente'naza avontafepi krente'naze.
