1 Amakhosi 20
1 UBheni-Hadadi inkosi yama-Aramu waqoqa ibutho lakhe lonke. Wayephelekezelwa ngamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lamabili ngezinqola zawo zempi lamabhiza, wasuka wayahanqa iSamariya wayihlasela.
Aram manghai Benhadad loh amah kah thadueng boeih neh a taengkah manghai sawmthum panit, marhang neh leng khaw a coi. Te phoeiah cet tih Samaria te a dum tih a vathoh thil.
2 Wathuma izithunywa edolobheni ku-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, esithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguBheni-Hadadi:
Te phoeiah khopuei la Israel manghai Ahab taengla puencawn a tueih.
3 Isiliva legolide lakho ngokwami, abafazi benu abahle kakhulu labantwana ngabami.”
Ahab te, “Benhadad loh, 'Na cak neh na sui khaw kai ham, na yuu neh na ca khaw, na hnothen khaw kai ham,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphendula yathi, “Kunjalo nkosi mbusi wami. Mina lakho konke engilakho ngokwakho.”
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Ka boei manghai namah ol bangla kai neh ka taengkah boeih he namah ham ni,” a ti nah.
5 Izithunywa zaphenduka njalo zisithi, “UBheni-Hadadi uthi: ‘Ngathumela ngathi ngifuna isiliva legolide lakho, abafazi labantwabakho.
Puencawn rhoek te mael tih, “Benhadad loh he ni a. thui. Na cak neh na sui, hoe ham nang taengla kan tueih, na yuu na ca rhoek khaw kai taengah m'pae,’ a ti.
6 Kodwa ngasolesi isikhathi kusasa ngizathumela izikhulu zami ukuzakhuthuza isigodlo sakho lezindlu zezikhulu zakho. Zizabutha yonke into eligugu kuwe zikuthathele.’”
Thangvuen tahae tue ah ka sal rhoek nang taengla kan tueih vetih na im neh na sal rhoek im khaw a phuelhthaih uh ni. Na mik loh a ngailaemnah boeih te a kut dongah a tloeng uh vetih a khuen ni,” a ti nah.
7 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yasibiza bonke abadala belizwe yathi kubo, “Ake libone lindoda edinga uhlupho! Ithe isithi ifuna abafazi bami labantwabami, isiliva legolide lami, angizange ngale.”
Israel manghai loh khohmuen kah a ham rhoek boeih te a khue tih,” Ming uh laeh lamtah boethae a tlap he hmuh uh. Ka taengla han tueih vaengah ka yuu neh ka ca rhoek, ka cak neh ka sui khaw, anih ham ka hloh moenih,” a ti nah.
8 Abadala kanye labantu bonke bathi, “Ungalaleli njalo ungamniki lokho akufunayo.”
Te vaengah anih te a ham boeih neh pilnam boeih loh, “Hnatun pah boeh, ngaih pah boeh,” a ti nah.
9 Yasitshela izithunywa zikaBheni-Hadadi ukuthi, “Tshelani inkosi umbusi wami ukuthi, ‘Inceku yakho izagcwalisa isicelo sakuqala kodwa lesi hayi ayenelisi.’” Zasuka izithunywa zabuyisela impendulo kuBheni-Hadadi.
Te dongah Benhadad kah puencawn rhoek te, “Ka boei manghai te thui pah, lamhma la sal nan tueih vaengkah boeih te tah ka ngai ni. Tedae tahae kah ol he ka ngai ham a coeng moenih,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek te cet uh tih ol te a mael puei uh.
10 Ngakho uBheni-Hadadi wakhupha ilizwi njalo lisiya ku-Ahabi, wathi: “Kabangihlanekele onkulunkulu, loba kungaba lobunzima obunganani, nxa kuzasala ubhuqu olulingana ukufunjathwa ngamadoda wonke aseSamariya.”
Benhadad loh anih te ol a tah tih, “Samaria kah laipi he ka kho kung kah pilnam boeih ham kutpha dongah a buem atah pathen loh kai taengah n'saii saeh lamtah n'koei van saeh,” a ti nah.
11 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphendula yathi, “Mtsheleni lithi: ‘Lowo ohloma ngezempi angabokloloda njengongahlomanga.’”
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Thui pa uh, a ka vah khaw aka dul bangla yan uh boel saeh,’ ti nah.
12 UBheni-Hadadi wemukela lelilizwi ezinathela lamanye amakhosi emathenteni awo, wahle walawula amabutho akhe esithi: “Hlomelani ukuhlasela.” Basebelungisela ukuhlasela idolobho.
Amah neh manghai rhoek loh dungtlungim ah a ok uh li vaengah he ol he a yaak. Te dongah a sal rhoek te, “Rhuengphong uh,” a ti nah tih khopuei te a rhuengphong thil uh.
13 Kusenjalo kweza umphrofethi ku-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli owafika wabika esithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Uyalibona na ibutho elikhulu kangaka? Ngizalinikela ezandleni zakho lamuhla nje, ukuze wazi ukuba nginguThixo.’”
Te vaengah Israel manghai Ahab taengla tonghma pakhat pakcak a mop pah tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni thui, hlangping he yet he boeih na hmuh nama? Tihnin ah kai loh na kut dongah kam paek coeng tih kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni ne,” a ti nah.
14 U-Ahabi wabuza wathi, “Kodwa ngubani ozakwenza lokhu?” Umphrofethi waphendula wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Lokhu kuzakwenziwa ngabalawuli bamabutho ezabelweni abayintanga yabatsha.’” Yena wabuza njalo ukuthi, “Pho ngubani ozayiqalisa impi?” Umphrofethi wamphendula wathi, “Nguwe.”
Te vaengah Ahab loh, “U nen nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui, paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek neh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “U long caemtloek a pin eh?” a ti nah hatah, “Nang loh,” a ti nah.
15 Ngakho u-Ahabi wamema abalawuli bamabutho abentanga yabatsha ezabelweni, abangamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili. Waseqoqa labo bonke abanye abako-Israyeli abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa ndawonye.
Te dongah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te a soep tih yahnih sawmthum panit lo uh. Amih phoeiah Israel ca boeih, pilnam pum te thawng rhih la a soep.
16 Basuka emini enkulu ngesikhathi uBheni-Hadadi lamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayezomhlomulela belokhu besazinathela bedakwa emathenteni abo.
Te phoeiah khothun ah a muk uh dae Benhadad tah amah neh anih aka bom manghai rhoek, manghai sawmthum panit rhoek tah dungtlungim ah a ok uh tih rhui uh.
17 Abalawuli bezabelweni bentanga yabatsha basuka kuqala. UBheni-Hadadi wayethumele inhloli, ezabika ukuthi, “Kulamadoda ezayo evela eSamariya.”
Te vaengah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te lamhma la khoong uh tih Benhadad taengla a tueih. Te dongah a taengla puen uh tih, “Samaria lamkah hlang ha khoong,” a ti nah.
18 Yena wathi, “Nxa esiza ngokuthula, athumbeni ephila; nxa ezohlasela, athumbeni ephila.”
Te vaengah, “Rhoepnah ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh, caemtloek ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh,” a ti nah.
19 Abalawuli bamabutho ezabelweni abentanga yabatsha baphuma edolobheni belandelwa libutho
Te tlam te khopuei lamloh paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek khoong uh tih amih hnukah tatthai rhoek te omuh.
20 njalo ngamunye wabo wabulala lowo ayeqondene laye. Ebona lokhu, ama-Aramu abaleka, ama-Israyeli axotshana lawo. Kodwa uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yama-Aramu wabaleka ngebhiza lamanye amabutho ayesilwa ngamabhiza.
Hlang pakhat loh hlang pakhat van a tloek uh dongah Aram rhoek te rhaelrham uh. Amih te Israel loh a hloem dae Aram manghai Benhadad tah marhang caem neh marhang dongah vik loeih.
21 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaqhubeka yakhulela abamabhiza kanye labezinqola zempi yatshaya yabhuqa ama-Aramu amanengi kakhulu.
Israel manghai te cet tih marhang khaw leng khaw a ngawn pah. Aram soah hmasoe len neh a ngawn.
22 Ngemva kwalokho, umphrofethi waya enkosini yako-Israyeli wafika wathi, “Hloma uphelele ubone ukuthi ungenzani, ngoba entwasa inkosi yama-Aramu iyeza izokuhlasela futhi.”
Te vaengah tonghma te Israel manghai taengla thoeih. Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet, thaahuel lamtah ming laeh. Kum a thok vaengah Aram manghai loh nang taengla ha pawk ham dongah metla na saii ham khaw ana so,” a ti nah.
23 Kusenjalo, izikhulu zenkosi yase-Aramu zayicebisa zathi, “Onkulunkulu babo ngonkulunkulu bezintabeni. Yikho besikhulele. Kodwa singalwela emagcekeni, ngempela sizabakhulela.
Te vaengah Aram manghai kah sal rhoek loh, “Amih kah pathen tah tlang kah pathen ni. Te dongah mamih lakah tlung uh. Tedae amih te tlangkol ah m'vathoh thil koinih amih lakah n'tlung uh van mapawt nim?
24 Wena yenza kanje: Susa wonke amakhosi ekulawuleni kwawo ufake abanye abalawuli esikhundleni sawo.
He ol bangla saii laeh. Manghai rhoek te amah hmuen lamloh rhip khoe lamtah amih yueng la rhalboei rhoek te tloep khueh laeh.
25 Njalo kumele uqoqe amanye amabutho anjengala anqotshwayo, kulingane amabhiza kanye lezinqola zempi ukuze silwele emagcekeni labako-Israyeli. Ngalokho akulakuthandabuza ukuthi sizabe silamandla kulabo.” Wavumelana labo wenza njengokutsho kwabo.
Namah loh nang lamkah caem a ha tarhing ah namah ham caem te hueh laeh. Marhang khaw marhang tarhing ah, leng khaw leng tarhing ah khueh laeh. Tlangkol ah amih m'vathoh thil ham te amih lakah n'tlung het mahpawt nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah amih ol te a hnatun tih a saii tangloeng.
26 Ngesikhathi sentwasa uBheni-Hadadi waqoqa ama-Aramu wasesiya e-Afekhi ukuze alwe labako-Israyeli.
Kum a thok vaengah tah Benhadad loh Aram te a soep tih Israel caemtloek thil ham Aphek la cet.
27 Ama-Israyeli ayeseqoqene, anikwa lemiphako, asuka ayawahlangabeza. Ama-Israyeli amisa maqondana lawo kungathi yimihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kanti ama-Aramu ayegcwele indawana yonke.
Israel ca rhoek khaw soep uh thae, cangbam uh thae tih amih te mah hamla cet uh. Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh amih taengah maae ca rhoi bangla a rhaeh uh vaengah Aram loh diklai a khuk uh coeng.
28 Umphrofethi kaNkulunkulu wasesiya enkosini yako-Israyeli wafika wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Njengoba ama-Aramu esithi uThixo ngunkulunkulu wezintaba hatshi uNkulunkulu wezigodi, ngizanikela wonke amabutho awo amanengi kangaka ezandleni zakho, ukuze wazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te mop tih Israel manghai te a voek. Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Aram rhoek loh, 'Yahweh he tlang kah pathen ni, tuikol pathen moenih,’ a ti uh dongah hlangping he yet he nang kut la boeih kam paek. Te dongah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni,” a ti nah.
29 Bajamelana okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa bahlaselana. Ama-Israyeli abulala abazinkulungwane ezilikhulu phakathi kwamabutho ama-Aramu ahamba ngezinyawo ngosuku olulodwa.
Te rhoek danah hnin rhih rhaeh uh tih a hnin rhih dongah a pha vaengah caemtloek te pha uh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh khohnin pakhat neh Aram rhalkap thawng yakhat a ngawn uh.
30 Amanye amabutho abalekela edolobheni lase-Afekhi, lapho adilikelwa khona ngumduli owabulala izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa. Kwathi uBheni-Hadadi wabalekela edolobheni lapho afika wacatsha endlini ephakathi.
Aka sueng rhoek te Aphek khopuei la rhaelrham uh van dae hlang aka sueng duen thawng kul thawng rhih te vongtung loh a cungku thil. Benhadad te rhaelrham tih khopuei ah imkhui kah imkhui patoeng la kun.
31 Izikhulu zakhe zathi kuye, “Khangela, sesizwile ukuthi amakhosi ako-Israyeli ngamakhosi alomusa. Asihambeni enkosini yako-Israyeli sembethe amasaka okhalweni njalo sibophe amakhanda ngentambo. Mhlawumbe izakuxolela ingakubulali.”
Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh anih te, “Israel im kah manghai rhoek tah sitlohnah manghai la n'yaak uh coeng he. Mamih cinghen ah tlamhni, mamih lu dongah rhui yil uh mai sih. Israel manghai taengla cet uh sih lamtah na hinglu khaw han hlun khaming,” a ti na uh.
32 Basuka bethandele amasaka ezinkalweni zabo, bebophe amakhanda ngentambo, baya enkosini yako-Israyeli bafika bathi, “Inceku yakho uBheni-Hadadi ithi, ‘Ngicela ungiyekele ngiphile.’” Inkosi yathi, “Ulokhu esaphila? Ngumfowethu lowo.”
Te dongah tlamhni te a cinghen ah, rhui te a lu ah a yen uh. Te phoeiah Israel manghai taengla cet uh tih, “Na sal Benhadad loh, 'Ka hinglu tah hing mai saeh,’ a ti,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah, “Anih ka manuca te amah hing pueng a?” a ti nah.
33 Amadoda lawo abona lokhu kukhomba ubuhle alithathela phezulu lelilizwi athi, “Ye, umfowenu uBheni-Hadadi!” Inkosi yathi, “Hambani liyemthatha.” Lakanye uBheni-Hadadi uthe efika, u-Ahabi wathi kakhwele enqoleni yakhe yempi.
Te vaengah hlang rhoek loh lung a sawt uh tih tokthuet uh. Anih te a hmuek coeng dongah, “Na manuca Benhadad ni,” a ti uh vaengah, “Paan uh lamtah anih te lo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Benhadad te a taengla a pawk neh leng dongah a caeh puei.
34 UBheni-Hadadi wazibika esithi, “Ngizabuyisela wonke amadolobho athunjwa ngubaba kuyihlo. Ungazilungisela izindawo zokuthengiselana eDamaseko, njengoba ubaba laye wayelazo eSamariya.” U-Ahabi wathi, “Ngesivumelwano ngizakukhulula.” Wasesenza isivumelwano laye wamkhulula.
Te vaengah Benhadad loh Ahab te, “A pa loh na pa taeng lamkah a loh khopuei rhoek te kam mael pawn eh. A pa loh Samaria ah a khueh vanbangla Damasku ah namah ham kawtpoeng la khueh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai khaw paipi bangla nang kan tueih bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih neh paipi a saii tih a tueih.
35 Ngelizwi likaThixo omunye wamadodana abaphrofethi wathi komunye, “Ake ungitshaye ngesikhali sakho,” kodwa wala.
Tonghma ca rhoek khuikah hlang pakhat loh BOEIPA ol bangla a hui taengah, “Kai he n'ngawn laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hlang loh anih ngawn ham te a aal.
36 Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi, “Njengoba ungalalelanga ilizwi likaThixo, uzakuthi usuka kimi ubulawe yisilwane.” Ngemva kokusuka kwakhe, wafunyanwa yisilwane sambulala.
Te dongah anih te, “BOEIPA ol te na hnatun pawt dongah kai taeng lamloh na caeh neh sathueng loh nang n'ngawn ni te,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih taeng lamloh a caeh neh anih te sathueng loh a hmuh tih a ngawn.
37 Umphrofethi wafumana enye njalo indoda wathi kuyo, “Ake ungigwaze.” Yamgwaza leyondoda yamlimaza.
Hlang tloe te a hmuh vaengah, “Kai he n'ngawn mai,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh a ngawn vaengah a hi hamla a ngawn.
38 Umphrofethi wasuka wayamelela inkosi endleleni. Wazifihla ubuso bakhe ngeqhiye.
Te phoeiah tonghma te cet tih longpuei ah manghai ana pai thil. Te vaengah a mik dongkah mikben neh vik a ben.
39 Kuthe inkosi isedlula khonapho, umphrofethi wayimemeza esithi, “Inceku yakho ibe iphakathi kwempi etshisayo, kwathi omunye weza kimi lothunjiweyo wathi, ‘Linda lumuntu. Nxa engabaleka, uzamfela wena, loba uhlawule ngethalenta lesiliva.’
Manghai a pah phai vaengah manghai te a pang thil tih, “Na sal he caemtloek lakli la ka cet. Tedae hlang khat pakcak ha pawk tih kai taengla hlang hang khuen. Te vaengah, 'He kah hlang he ana dawn dae, a ha la a ha atah a hinglu ham te na hinglu om vetih cak talent khat neh na sah ni, ' a ti.
40 Kuthe inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, umuntu lowo wanyamalala.” Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi, “Leso yiso isigwebo sakho. Usuvele wasiqamba wena ngokwakho.”
Tedae na sal he heben hebang ah aka tok la a om vaengah anih ana om voel pawh,” a ti nah. Tedae Israel manghai loh anih te, “Namah kah laitloeknah te namah loh na hlavawt coeng,” a ti nah.
41 Umphrofethi waphanga wembula ubuso bakhe, inkosi yako-Israyeli yabona ukuthi ngomunye wabaphrofethi.
Te phoeiah a mik dong lamkah mikben te hawl a khong daengah anih te Israel manghai loh amah tonghma rhoek khui lamkah la a hmat.
42 Wathi enkosini, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usukhulule umuntu ebengithe kumele afe. Kutsho ukuthi usuzamfela wena, labantu bakho bazafela abantu bakhe.’”
Te phoeiah Ahab te, “BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Hlang he kai kut lamloh yaehtaboeih la na hlah dongah a hinglu yueng la na hinglu, a pilnam yueng la na pilnam te om ni,” a ti nah.
43 Ngokuhlulukelwa langokuzonda, inkosi yako-Israyeli yasuka yabuyela esigodlweni sayo eSamariya.
Te dongah Israel manghai te a im la rhihnun cukduk neh thintoek la mael tih Samaria la pawk.
