1 Ilizwi likaThixo leza kuJehu indodana kaHanani lisongela uBhasha lisithi:

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne' Ba'asante'ma fore'ma hania zamofo nanekea, kasnampa ne' Hanani nemofo Jehuna anage huno asami'ne,

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.

Nagra kugusopafinti kavre'na Israeli vahe'ni'a kegava huo hu'noanagi, kagra Jeroboamu'ma hu'nea avu'ava avaririnka Israeli vahera zamazeri kumipi nezmantrenka, Nagrira nazeri narimpa hane.

3 Ngakho sekufanele ngichithe uBhasha labendlu yakhe, njalo indlu yakho ngizakwenza ifanane lekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi.

E'ina hanku Nagra Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu nagate'ma huzmante'noaza hu'na Ba'asagane maka nagaka'anena zamahe hana hugahue.

4 Bazadliwa yizinja abangabakaBhasha abazafela edolobheni, kanti izinyoni zasemoyeni zizakudla labo abazafela emangweni.”

Hagi Ba'asampiti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahera rankuma agu'afima fri'nageno'a, kramo'za negahaze. Hagi megi'ama fri'nazana vahera namaramimo'za negahaze.

5 Okunye okumayelana lombuso kaBhasha, akwenzayo lokuphumelela kwakhe, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?

Hagi Ba'asa'ma kinima mani'neno'ma hu'nea zantamine, hanave zantamima tro'ma hu'nea zamofo agenkea Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'ne.

6 UBhasha waphumula laboyise wembelwa eThiza. Kwathi u-Ela indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi yabusa.

Hagi Ba'asa'ma frigeno'a Tirza kumate asentazageno, nemofo Ela agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

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.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Ba'asane naga'anema hazenke zamisia zamofo nanekea kasnampa ne' Hanani nemofo Jehunte hunte'ne. Na'ankure maka havi avu'ava'ma nehuno, maka'zama tro'ma hu'neazamo Ra Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahegeno, Jeroboamu naga'ma zamahe fananema hu'neaza huno Ba'asa nagara zamahe fri vagare'ne.

8 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesithupha wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Ela indodana kaBhasha waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli njalo wabusa eThiza okweminyaka emibili.

Hagi kini ne' Asa'ma 26si'a kafuma Juda vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Ba'asa nemofo Ela'a Israeli vahe kinia efore hu'ne. Hagi Ela'a tare kafu Tirza kumatera kinia mani'neno, Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne.

9 UZimri, esinye sezikhulu zakhe, owayelawula ingxenye yezinqola zempi, waceba ukumbulala. U-Ela wayeseThiza ngalesosikhathi, esidla edakwa endlini ka-Ariza, indoda eyayiphethe isigodlo saseThiza.

Hianagi karisi eri'za vano nehaza sondia vahera amu'nompinti refko huno kva nehia ne' Zimri'a Ela ahenaku kankamunku hake'ne. Hagi mago zupa Ela'a Tirza kumate mani'neno, noma'ama kegava nehia ne' Arza nompi aka ti neneno neginagi nehigeno,

10 UZimri wangena, wamtshaya wambulala. Kwakungumnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda. Wasethatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhosi waba yinkosi.

Zimri'a eno eme ahe fri'ne. Hagi kini ne' Asa'a 27ni'a kafu Juda vahe kinia nemanigeno, Zimri'a Elana ahe nefrino, agri nona erino Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne.

11 Uthe eqalisa ukubusa esehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, wabulala bonke abendlu kaBhasha. Katshiyanga ndoda noma kuyisihlobo loba kungumngane.

Hagi Zimri'ma anama kinima nemanino'a, maka Ba'asa nagapinti'ma fore'ma hu'nea vahera zamahe hana nehuno magore huno ne' mofavrea ozamatre'ne. Ana nehuno maka keonke zaga'ane, rone'araminena magore huno ozamatreno zamahe hana hu'ne.

12 Ngakho uZimri wabhubhisa bonke abendlu kaBhasha, kwaba njengokwatshiwo nguThixo owasongela uBhasha ngomphrofethi uJehu

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Ba'asama hazenkema ami kema kasnampa ne' Jehuma asami'nea kante anteno, maka Ba'asa nagapinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vahetmina zamahe hana hu'ne.

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.

Na'ankure Ba'asa'ene nemofo Ela'enena kumi nehuke, Israeli vahe'enena zamazeri kumipima nezmantreke, kaza osu havi anumzana tro hunte'neke, mono'ma hunta'azamo'a Ra Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahe'na'e.

14 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Ela, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini encwadini yembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?

Hagi Ela'ma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, maka zama agrama hu'nea zamofo agenkea Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krente'naza avontafepi krente'naze.

15 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, uZimri wabusa eThiza okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Ibutho lalisenkambeni yaseGibhethoni, idolobho lamaFilistiya.

Hagi kini ne' Asa'ma 27ni'a kafuma Juda vahe kinima nemanigeno, Zimri'a Israeli vahe kinia 7ni'a zagegnafi Tirza kumatera mani'ne. Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Filistia vahe kumara Gibetonia avazagigagi'naze.

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.

Hagi ana kuma'ma avazagigagi'naza sondia vahe'mo'za Zimri'ma Elama ahea nanekema nentahiza, sondia vahete kva ne' Omrina ana zupage Israeli vahe kinia azeri oti'naze.

17 U-Omri labo bonke abako-Israyeli bahlehla basuka eGibhethoni bayavimbezela iThiza.

Hagi ana'ma hutazageno'a, Omri'a Israeli sondia vahera Gibetoni kumateti zamavareno marerino Israeli vahe rankumapi Tirzama mani'naza vahera hara ome huzmante'ne.

18 UZimri uthe ebona ukuthi idolobho laselithethwe, waya enqabeni yesigodlo senkosi wathungela isigodlo sesikhosini ngomlilo lapho ayekhona. Ngakho wafa,

Hagi Zimri'ma keama ha'ma eme hu'za ana kuma'ma emerizageno'a, kini ne'mofo nompi ufreno ha'ma hanigeno fraki'naza noma hunaraginte'nefi umaniteno, ana nona teve tagintegeno nereno agri'enena terasge'ne.

19 ngenxa yezono azenzayo, esenza okubi phambi kukaThixo njalo kwakungaselamuntu ohamba ngendlela zikaJerobhowamu lasezonweni ayengene kuzo lalezo ayebangela u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.

Na'ankure Jeroboamu'ma kumi'ma nehuno, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri kumipima zmante'neaza huno, agra Ra Anumzamofo avurera kefo avu'ava nehuno, Israeli vahera zamazeri kumipi zamatre'ne.

20 Ezinye izehlakalo zokubusa kukaZimri, lomvukela ayewenzile, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?

Hagi Zimri'ma kinima mani'neno'ma hu'nea zantmimofo agenkene, Elama ahenea agenkea Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krenentea avontafepi krente'naze.

21 Kwasekusiba lokudabukana phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli, abanye babesekela uThibhini indodana kaGinathi ukuthi abe yinkosi, abanye besekela u-Omri.

Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Israeli vahe'mo'za tarefi atane'za magokaziga Ginati nemofo Tibni kinia azeri otizageno, mago kagiza Omri avariri'naze.

22 Kodwa-ke kwabasobala ukuthi abalandeli baka-Omri bayabakhulela abakaThibhini indodana kaGinathi. Ngakho uThibhini wafa u-Omri waba yinkosi.

Hianagi Omrima avaririza hanaveti'za Ginati nemofo Tibnima avariri'naza vahera hara huzmagatere'za, Tibnina ahe nefriza Omrina kinia azeri oti'naze.

23 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanye ka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Omri waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, eyisithupha yayo eseThiza.

Hagi kini ne' Asa'ma 31ni'a kafu Juda vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Omri'a Israeli vahe kinia 12fu'a kafufi mani'ne. Hianagi 6si'a kafufi Tirza kumatera Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne.

24 Wathenga uqaqa lwaseSamariya kuShemeri ngamathalenta amabili esiliva njalo wakha idolobho phezu koqaqa lolo walibiza ngokuthi Samariya, elubiza ngoShemeri, owayekade engumnikazi walo.

Hagi Sameria agona mopamofo nefa Semantetira, Omri'a 70 kilo hu'nea silva zagoreti ana mopa mizaseno rankuma tro huteno, ana mopa agafa ne' agire asamareno, Samarie huno ana kumamofo agi'a ante'ne.

25 Kodwa u-Omri wona waba lezono phambi kukaThixo, njalo yena wona okwedlula bonke abamandulelayo.

Hagi ko'ma maniza e'naza kini vahetmina Omri'a zamagatereno, rama'a kefo avu'ava Ra Anumzamofo avurera hu'ne.

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.

Na'ankure Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri kumipima nezamanteno Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofoma azeri arimpama ahe'nea avu'ava avaririno, Omri'a kaza osu havi anumzantmina tro hunte'neno mono'ma huntea zamo Ra Anumzamofona azeri rimpahe'ne.

27 Okwembali yokubusa kuka-Omri, akwenzayo kanye layephumelele kukho, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?

Hagi Omri'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore'ma hu'nea zantamina Israeli kini vahe'mokizmi zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

28 U-Omri waphumula kuboyise wembelwa eSamariya. Kwathi u-Ahabi indodana yakhe wabusa ngemva kwakhe.

Hagi Omri'a frigeno Sameria asentazageno, nemofo Ahapu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

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.

Hagi Kini ne' Asa'ma 38'a kafuma Juda vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Omri nemofo Ahapu Israeli vahe kinia efore huno mani'ne. Hagi Omri nemofo Ahapu'a 22'a kafu Sameria kumatera kinia mani'neno Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne.

30 U-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri waba lezono ezingaphezu kwalabo abamandulelayo phambi kukaThixo.

Hagi ko'ma maniza e'naza kini vahetmina zamagatereno, Omri nemofo Ahapu'a rama'a kefo avu'ava Ra Anumzamofo avurera hu'ne.

31 Kwathi lanxa ebona kungasilutho ukungena ebubini bukaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, wathatha uJezebheli indodakazi ka-Ethibhali inkosi yamaSidoni, waseqalisa ukukhonza lokusebenzela uBhali.

Hagi Ahapu'a knare navu'nava nehue huno antahi amne nehuno, Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma hu'nea kefo avu'avara agatereno, Saidoni kini ne' Etba'ali mofa' Jesebelina ara omenerino, Bali havi anumzamofonte monora hunte'ne.

32 Wakhela uBhali i-alithari ethempelini likaBhali ayelakhe eSamariya.

Hagi Ahapu'a Sameria kumatera Bali havi anumzamofo mono no kino, agu'afina kresramna vu ita tro hunte'ne.

33 U-Ahabi wenzela u-Ashera insika njalo kunengi akwenzayo okwathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okwedlula wonke amakhosi ako-Israyeli amandulelayo.

Hagi anantera Asera a' havi anumzamofo amema'ama me' zafarami retru rentetere hu'ne. Hagi e'ina'ma hia zamo'a, ko'ma maniza e'naza kini vahetmimo'zama hu'naza kefo avu'avara agatereno, rama'a kefo avu'ava huno Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahe'ne.

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.

Hagi Ahapu'ma kinima mani'nea knafi, Beteli kumateti ne' Hieli'a Jeriko kumara ete eri agafa huno ki'ne. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Nuni nemofo Josuama asami'nea kante anteno, ana kuma'ma eri agafa huno negigeno'a, ese mofavre'a Abiramu'a fri'ne. Hagi ana kumama kivagareno, ana kumamofo rankafama hagenentegeno'a, henka mofavre'a Segupu'a fri'ne. (Josua 6:26)
