1 Amakhosi 16
1 Ilizwi likaThixo leza kuJehu indodana kaHanani lisongela uBhasha lisithi:
Na Awurade asɛm baa Hanani babarima Yehu so tiaa Baasa sɛ,
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.
“Mepagyaw wo fii mfutuma mu, de wo tuaa me nkurɔfo Israel ano. Nanso wofaa Yeroboam kwan bɔne no so, maa me nkurɔfo Israel yɛɛ bɔne, maa wɔn bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no hyɛɛ me abufuw.
3 Ngakho sekufanele ngichithe uBhasha labendlu yakhe, njalo indlu yakho ngizakwenza ifanane lekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi.
Enti merebɛsɛe Baasa ne ne fi, na mɛyɛ wo fi te sɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam de.
4 Bazadliwa yizinja abangabakaBhasha abazafela edolobheni, kanti izinyoni zasemoyeni zizakudla labo abazafela emangweni.”
Wɔn a wobewuwu wɔ kurow no mu a wɔyɛ Yeroboam dea no de, akraman bɛwe wɔn nam. Na wim nnomaa na wɔbɛsosɔw wɔn a wobewuwu wɔ wuram no.”
5 Okunye okumayelana lombuso kaBhasha, akwenzayo lokuphumelela kwakhe, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
Na Baasa adedi ne ɛho nsɛm nkae, nea ɔyɛe ne ne nkɔso no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu.
6 UBhasha waphumula laboyise wembelwa eThiza. Kwathi u-Ela indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi yabusa.
Baasa wui no, wosiee no wɔ Tirsa. Na ne babarima Ela dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
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.
Na Awurade asɛm nam Hanani babarima odiyifo Yehu so baa Baasa ne ne fifo so, esiane bɔne dodow a na wayɛ wɔ Awurade ani so no nti. Saa nneyɛe no hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw. Na ɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔyɛɛ Yeroboam fi no ara pɛ, efisɛ Baasa nso sɛee Yeroboam fi.
8 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesithupha wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Ela indodana kaBhasha waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli njalo wabusa eThiza okweminyaka emibili.
Baasa babarima Ela fitii ase dii Israel so wɔ Tirsa a saa bere no, na ɔhene Asa adi ade wɔ Yuda mfe aduonu asia. Odii hene wɔ Israel mfe abien.
9 UZimri, esinye sezikhulu zakhe, owayelawula ingxenye yezinqola zempi, waceba ukumbulala. U-Ela wayeseThiza ngalesosikhathi, esidla edakwa endlini ka-Ariza, indoda eyayiphethe isigodlo saseThiza.
Na Simri, a na ɔyɛ ɔsafohene wɔ adehye nteaseɛnam no mu fa so, bɔɔ ne tirim pɔw sɛ obekum Ela. Da bi, Ela bow nsa wɔ Arsa a na ɔyɛ ahemfi sohwɛfo no fi wɔ Tirsa.
10 UZimri wangena, wamtshaya wambulala. Kwakungumnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda. Wasethatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhosi waba yinkosi.
Simri kɔɔ hɔ de ade kɔbɔɔ no ma ɔhwee fam wui. Saa asɛm yi sii wɔ ɔhene Asa adedi wɔ Yuda no afe a ɛto so aduonu ason mu. Enti Simri bɛyɛɛ ɔhene a odi so.
11 Uthe eqalisa ukubusa esehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, wabulala bonke abendlu kaBhasha. Katshiyanga ndoda noma kuyisihlobo loba kungumngane.
Ɛhɔ ara, Simri kunkum Baasa adehye abusua no mu nnipa nyinaa a wannyaw ɔbarima baako koraa; na wanhwɛ sɛ ɔyɛ obusuani anaa adamfo mpo.
12 Ngakho uZimri wabhubhisa bonke abendlu kaBhasha, kwaba njengokwatshiwo nguThixo owasongela uBhasha ngomphrofethi uJehu
Simri sɛee Baasa ahenni nnidiso no, sɛnea na Awurade afa odiyifo Yehu so ahyɛ no.
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.
Eyinom sii esiane Baasa ne ne babarima Ela bɔne ne wɔn bɔne dodow a wodii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ no nti. Wɔde wɔn abosom huhuw hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn abufuw.
14 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Ela, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini encwadini yembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
Ela ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
15 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa wokubusa kuka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, uZimri wabusa eThiza okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Ibutho lalisenkambeni yaseGibhethoni, idolobho lamaFilistiya.
Simri tenaa Tirsa dii ade wɔ Israel, bere a na ɔhene Asa adi ade wɔ Yuda mfe aduonu ason mu, nanso odii ade nnanson pɛ. Bere a Israel asraafo a na wɔrekɔtow ahyɛ Filistifo kurow Gibeton so no
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.
tee sɛ Simri akum ɔhene no, woyii ɔsahene Omri de no dii ade sɛ wɔn hene foforo.
17 U-Omri labo bonke abako-Israyeli bahlehla basuka eGibhethoni bayavimbezela iThiza.
Enti Omri dii Israel asraafo anim, fi Gibeton kotuaa Tirsa a ɛyɛ Israel ahenkurow no.
18 UZimri uthe ebona ukuthi idolobho laselithethwe, waya enqabeni yesigodlo senkosi wathungela isigodlo sesikhosini ngomlilo lapho ayekhona. Ngakho wafa,
Bere a Simri huu sɛ wɔafa kurow no, ɔkɔɔ ɔhene atenae hɔ wɔ ne fi, na ɔhyew hɔ ne ne ho frae, maa owui wɔ ogyatannaa no mu.
19 ngenxa yezono azenzayo, esenza okubi phambi kukaThixo njalo kwakungaselamuntu ohamba ngendlela zikaJerobhowamu lasezonweni ayengene kuzo lalezo ayebangela u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.
Na ɔno nso ayɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Odii Yeroboam anammɔn akyi, toaa bɔne a Yeroboam dii Israel anim yɛe no so.
20 Ezinye izehlakalo zokubusa kukaZimri, lomvukela ayewenzile, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
Simri adedi ho nsɛm nkae ne ne pɔw bɔne a ɔbɔe no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
21 Kwasekusiba lokudabukana phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli, abanye babesekela uThibhini indodana kaGinathi ukuthi abe yinkosi, abanye besekela u-Omri.
Na afei, na Israelfo no mu akyɛ abien. Na nnipa no mu fa pɛ sɛ wɔma Ginat babarima Tibni di wɔn so hene, na ɔfa a aka no nso gyinaa Omri akyi.
22 Kodwa-ke kwabasobala ukuthi abalandeli baka-Omri bayabakhulela abakaThibhini indodana kaGinathi. Ngakho uThibhini wafa u-Omri waba yinkosi.
Nanso Omri akyidifo no bu faa Ginat babarima Tibni akyidifo no so. Enti wokum Tibni, maa Omri dii ɔhene.
23 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanye ka-Asa inkosi yakoJuda, u-Omri waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, eyisithupha yayo eseThiza.
Omri fi ase dii hene wɔ Israel, bere a ɔhene Asa adi ade wɔ Yuda mfe aduasa baako mu. Ne nyinaa mu, odii ade mfe dumien a ɔde emu asia tenaa Tirsa.
24 Wathenga uqaqa lwaseSamariya kuShemeri ngamathalenta amabili esiliva njalo wakha idolobho phezu koqaqa lolo walibiza ngokuthi Samariya, elubiza ngoShemeri, owayekade engumnikazi walo.
Na Omri tɔɔ bepɔw bi a mprempren wɔfrɛ no Samaria fii ne wura Semer nkyɛn, dwetɛ kilogram aduosia awotwe. Ɔkyekyeree kurow wɔ so, na ɔtoo kurow no din Samaria, de hyɛɛ Semer anuonyam.
25 Kodwa u-Omri wona waba lezono phambi kukaThixo, njalo yena wona okwedlula bonke abamandulelayo.
Nanso Omri yɛɛ bɔne Awurade ani so, na mpo, ne bɔne no so sen ahemfo a wodi nʼanim no de.
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.
Odii Yeroboam anammɔn akyi, kɔɔ so som abosom, sɛnea Yeroboam dii Israel anim ma wɔyɛɛ no. Ɔde eyi hyɛɛ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, abufuw.
27 Okwembali yokubusa kuka-Omri, akwenzayo kanye layephumelele kukho, akulotshwanga na ogwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
Omri adedi ho nsɛm nkae no ne nea ne tumi ano kosi ne ne dwuma a odii no, wɔankyerɛw angu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
28 U-Omri waphumula kuboyise wembelwa eSamariya. Kwathi u-Ahabi indodana yakhe wabusa ngemva kwakhe.
Omri wui no, wosiee no wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Ahab na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
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.
Omri ba Ahab fii ase dii Israel so hene bere a na ɔhene Asa adi ade wɔ Yuda mfe aduasa awotwe mu. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe aduonu abien.
30 U-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri waba lezono ezingaphezu kwalabo abamandulelayo phambi kukaThixo.
Nanso Ahab yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Mpo, na ne bɔne no so sen ahemfo a wodi nʼanim no nyinaa mu biara de.
31 Kwathi lanxa ebona kungasilutho ukungena ebubini bukaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, wathatha uJezebheli indodakazi ka-Ethibhali inkosi yamaSidoni, waseqalisa ukukhonza lokusebenzela uBhali.
Na ɔyɛɛ nea Yeroboam yɛɛ wɔ bɔneyɛ mu no bi. Wamma no anso hɔ ara. Ɔwaree Isebel a na ɔyɛ Sidonfohene Etbaal babea, na ofii ase som Baal, sɔree no.
32 Wakhela uBhali i-alithari ethempelini likaBhali ayelakhe eSamariya.
Nea edi kan no, osii abosomfi ne afɔremuka maa Baal wɔ Samaria.
33 U-Ahabi wenzela u-Ashera insika njalo kunengi akwenzayo okwathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okwedlula wonke amakhosi ako-Israyeli amandulelayo.
Afei, osii Asera dua. Ɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ pii de hyɛɛ Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn abufuw sen ahemfo a wɔadi nʼanim wɔ Israel no nyinaa.
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.
Ahab ahenni so na ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Hiel a ofi Bet-El san kyekyeree Yeriko. Ɔtoo fapem no, nʼabakan Abiram wui. Na otintim abɔntenpon de wiee no nso, ne kaakyiri Segub nso wui. Eyi nyinaa sisii, sɛnea asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn fa Yeriko ho a Nun babarima Yosua kae no te.
