1 Amakhosi 16
1 Ilizwi likaThixo leza kuJehu indodana kaHanani lisongela uBhasha lisithi:
A LAILA hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Iehu ke keiki a Hanani, e ku e ana ia Baasa, i ka i ana mai,
2 “Ngakususa othulini ngakwenza umkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli, kodwa wasuka wahamba ngezindlela zikaJerobhowamu njalo wabangela abantu bami bako-Israyeli ukuthi bone bangithukuthelise ngezono zabo.
No ka mea, ua hookiekie ae au ia oe mai ka lepo ae, a hoolilo au ia oe i alii maluna o ko'u poe kanaka Iseraela; a ua hele hoi oe ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a ua hoolilo ae oe i ko'u poe kanaka Iseraela e lawehala, e hoonaukiuki mai lakou ia'u me ko lakou mau hewa;
3 Ngakho sekufanele ngichithe uBhasha labendlu yakhe, njalo indlu yakho ngizakwenza ifanane lekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi.
Eia hoi, e kaili ae auanei au i ka hope o Baasa a me ka hope o kana ohana, a e hoolilo ae au i kou ohana e like me ka ohana a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata.
4 Bazadliwa yizinja abangabakaBhasha abazafela edolobheni, kanti izinyoni zasemoyeni zizakudla labo abazafela emangweni.”
O ka Baasa mea e make maloko o ke kulanakauhale, oia ka na ilio e ai ai; a o kana mea e make ma kula, oia ka na manu o ka lewa e ai ai.
5 Okunye okumayelana lombuso kaBhasha, akwenzayo lokuphumelela kwakhe, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
A o na oihana e ae a Baasa, a me kana mea i hana'i, a me kona ikaika, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke 'a na lii o ka Iseraela?
6 UBhasha waphumula laboyise wembelwa eThiza. Kwathi u-Ela indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi yabusa.
A hiamoe iho la o Baasa me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma Tireza: a ua alii ae la o Ela kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
7 Njalo ilizwi lafika livela kuThixo ngoJehu indodana kaHanani lisiya kuBhasha labendlu yakhe, ngoba kulezono ezinengi ayezenzile emehlweni kaThixo, wamthukuthelisa ngezinto abazenzayo, waze wafanana labendlu kaJerobhowamu kanye lokuthi wayichitha.
Eia hoi, ma ka lima o Iehu ke kaula, ke keiki a Hanani i hiki mai ai ka Iehova olelo ku e ia Baasa, a i kana ohana hoi, no ka hewa a pau ana i hana'i imua o na maka o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia me ka hana a kona mau lima, i kona hoohalike ana me ka ohana a Ieroboama, a no kona pepehi ana ia ia.
8 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesithupha wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Ela indodana kaBhasha waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli njalo wabusa eThiza okweminyaka emibili.
I ka iwakalua kumamaono o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, i hoomaka ai o Ela ke keiki a Baasa i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, ma Tireza i na makahiki elua.
9 UZimri, esinye sezikhulu zakhe, owayelawula ingxenye yezinqola zempi, waceba ukumbulala. U-Ela wayeseThiza ngalesosikhathi, esidla edakwa endlini ka-Ariza, indoda eyayiphethe isigodlo saseThiza.
A kipi ae la ia ia kana kauwa o Zimeri ka luna o ka hapalua o kona mau kaa, ia ia ma Tireza, e inu ana a ona maloko o ka hale o Areza ka puuku o kona hale ma Tireza.
10 UZimri wangena, wamtshaya wambulala. Kwakungumnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda. Wasethatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhosi waba yinkosi.
A komo ae la o Zimeri a pepehi ae la hoi ia ia, a hoomake loa ia ia, i ka iwakalua kumamahiku o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, a ua alii ae la oia ma kona hakahaka.
11 Uthe eqalisa ukubusa esehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, wabulala bonke abendlu kaBhasha. Katshiyanga ndoda noma kuyisihlobo loba kungumngane.
Eia hoi kekahi, ia ia i hoomaka ai i kona alii ana, a noho ia ma ka nohoalii, pepehi koke ae la oia i ka ohana a pau a Baasa: aole oia i hokoe nona i kekahi kane, o kona io, a o kona mau hanauna.
12 Ngakho uZimri wabhubhisa bonke abendlu kaBhasha, kwaba njengokwatshiwo nguThixo owasongela uBhasha ngomphrofethi uJehu
Pela i luku ai o Zimeri i ka ohana a pau a Baasa, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ku e ai ia Baasa ma ka lima o Iehu ke kaula;
13 ngenxa yazo zonke izono azenzayo uBhasha lendodana yakhe u-Ela; benza lo-Israyeli wona kwaze kwaqubula uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wazonda ngenxa yezithombe zabo eziyize.
No na hewa a pau o Baasa, a no na hewa o Ela kana keiki, i lawehala ai laua, a i hoolilo ai hoi laua i ka Iseraela e lawehala, i ka hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma ko laua mau mea lapuwale.
14 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Ela, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini encwadini yembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
A o na oihana e ae a Ela, a o ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na lii o ka Iseraela?
15 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, uZimri wabusa eThiza okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Ibutho lalisenkambeni yaseGibhethoni, idolobho lamaFilistiya.
I ka iwakalua kumamahiku o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, i alii ai o Zimeri i na la ehiku ma Tireza; a e hoomoana ku e ana na kanaka ia Gibetona o ko Pilisetia.
16 Abako-Israyeli bathi sebezwile ukuthi uZimri wakha icebo lokubulala inkosi lakanye wayibulala, babeka u-Omri, umlawuli webutho wahle waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli mhlalokho enkambeni.
A lohe ae na kanaka hoomoana i ka olelo, ua kipi o Zimeri a ua pepehi hoi i ke alii: nolaila hooalii ae la ka Iseraela a pau ia Omeri ka alihikaua i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ia la i kahi hoomoana.
17 U-Omri labo bonke abako-Israyeli bahlehla basuka eGibhethoni bayavimbezela iThiza.
Pii ae la o Omeri a me ka Iseraela pu a pau me ia, mai Gibetona ae, a hoopuni ae la ia Tireza.
18 UZimri uthe ebona ukuthi idolobho laselithethwe, waya enqabeni yesigodlo senkosi wathungela isigodlo sesikhosini ngomlilo lapho ayekhona. Ngakho wafa,
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka ike ana o Zimeri ua hoopioia ke kulanakauhale, komo ae la oia i ke keena alii o ko ke alii hale, a puhi iho la i ka hale o ke alii maluna o kona poo iho, a make iho la,
19 ngenxa yezono azenzayo, esenza okubi phambi kukaThixo njalo kwakungaselamuntu ohamba ngendlela zikaJerobhowamu lasezonweni ayengene kuzo lalezo ayebangela u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.
No kona mau hewa ana i hana'i, i kana hana ino ana imua o na maka o Iehova, a i kona hele ana ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a me kona hewa ana i hana'i, i lawehala ai ka Iseraela.
20 Ezinye izehlakalo zokubusa kukaZimri, lomvukela ayewenzile, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
A o na oihana e ae a Zimeri, a me kona kipi ana, ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na lii o ka Iseraela?
21 Kwasekusiba lokudabukana phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli, abanye babesekela uThibhini indodana kaGinathi ukuthi abe yinkosi, abanye besekela u-Omri.
Alaila maheleia'e la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i na apana elua: hahai kekahi hapalua mamuli o Tibeni ke keiki a Ginata, e hoalii ia ia; a hahai ae la kekahi hapalua mamuli o Omeri.
22 Kodwa-ke kwabasobala ukuthi abalandeli baka-Omri bayabakhulela abakaThibhini indodana kaGinathi. Ngakho uThibhini wafa u-Omri waba yinkosi.
Lanakila ae la ka poe kanaka i hahai mamuli o Omeri maluna o ka poe kanaka i hahai mamuli o Tibeni ke keiki a Ginata, a make o Tibeni, a alii ae la o Omeri.
23 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanye ka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Omri waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, eyisithupha yayo eseThiza.
I ke kanakolu kumamakahi o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda hoomaka ae la o Omeri i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i na makahiki he umikumamalua: aono makahiki i alii ai oia ma Tireza.
24 Wathenga uqaqa lwaseSamariya kuShemeri ngamathalenta amabili esiliva njalo wakha idolobho phezu koqaqa lolo walibiza ngokuthi Samariya, elubiza ngoShemeri, owayekade engumnikazi walo.
Kuai lilo mai la oia me Semera, i ka puu Samaria, i na talena kala elua, a kukulu ae la maluna o ka puu, a kapa ae i ka inoa o ke kulanakauhale ana i hana'i, o Samaria, mamuli o ka inoa o Semera ka haku aina o ka puu.
25 Kodwa u-Omri wona waba lezono phambi kukaThixo, njalo yena wona okwedlula bonke abamandulelayo.
Aka, ua hana hewa ae la o Omeri imua o na maka o Iehova, a hoopakela aku i kona hewa mamua o ka poe a pau mamua ona.
26 Wahamba ngazozonke izindlela zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi kanye lasezonweni zakhe, abangela ukuthi u-Israyeli azenze, ngalokho baqubula uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wazonda ngenxa yezithombe zabo eziyize.
No ka mea, na hele ae la oia ma na aoao a pau o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a me kona hewa i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala, e hoonaukiuki ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma ko lakou mau mea lapuwale.
27 Okwembali yokubusa kuka-Omri, akwenzayo kanye layephumelele kukho, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
A o na oihana e ae a Omeri i hana'i a me ka ikaika ana i hoike ai, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana o na lii o ka Iseraela?
28 U-Omri waphumula kuboyise wembelwa eSamariya. Kwathi u-Ahabi indodana yakhe wabusa ngemva kwakhe.
A hiamoe iho la o Omeri me kona mau makua ma Samaria, a ua alii ae la o Ahaba kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
29 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lasificaminwembili wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, njalo wabusa eSamariya kwabako-Israyeli okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili.
Hoomaka ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela i ke kanakolu kumamawalu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda; a ua alii ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria i na makahiki he iwakalua kumamalua.
30 U-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri waba lezono ezingaphezu kwalabo abamandulelayo phambi kukaThixo.
Hoopakela ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri i ka hana hewa imua o na maka o Iehova mamua o ka poe a pau mamua ona.
31 Kwathi lanxa ebona kungasilutho ukungena ebubini bukaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, wathatha uJezebheli indodakazi ka-Ethibhali inkosi yamaSidoni, waseqalisa ukukhonza lokusebenzela uBhali.
Eia hoi kekahi, me he mea la, he mea uuku nona ke hele ma na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, lawe iho la oia ia Iesebela ke kaikamahine a Etebaala ke alii o ko Sidona, i wahine, a hele hoi ia e malama ia Baala, a hoomana ae la ia ia,
32 Wakhela uBhali i-alithari ethempelini likaBhali ayelakhe eSamariya.
Kukulu ae la oia i kuahu no Baala maloko o ka hale o Baala, ana i hana'i ma Samaria.
33 U-Ahabi wenzela u-Ashera insika njalo kunengi akwenzayo okwathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okwedlula wonke amakhosi ako-Israyeli amandulelayo.
Hana iho la o Ahaba i wahi e hoomana'i, a ua oi aku ko Ahaba hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela mamua o na alii a pau o ka Iseraela mamua ona.
34 Ngezinsuku zika-Ahabi uHiyeli waseBhetheli wakha kutsha iJerikho. Ukubekwa kwezisekelo zayo kwathatha impilo yezibulo lakhe u-Abhiramu kwathi lasekumiseni amasango alo kwathatha impilo yecinathunjana lakhe uSegubi, kwagcwaliseka ilizwi likaThixo ayelikhulume ngoJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
I kona mau la hoi, kukulu ae la o Hiela no Betela ia Ieriko; a ia Abirama i kana hiapo i hoonoho ai oia i ke kumu, a ia Seguba kana keiki hope loa i kukulu ai oia i na pani; e like me ka Iehova olelo ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna.
