1 UBheni-Hadadi inkosi yama-Aramu waqoqa ibutho lakhe lonke. Wayephelekezelwa ngamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lamabili ngezinqola zawo zempi lamabhiza, wasuka wayahanqa iSamariya wayihlasela.

2 Wathuma izithunywa edolobheni ku-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, esithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguBheni-Hadadi:

4 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphendula yathi, “Kunjalo nkosi mbusi wami. Mina lakho konke engilakho ngokwakho.”
Ac Ahab el topuk ac fahk, “Folokot ac fahk nu sel Tokosra Benhadad, leum luk, lah nga ac oru oana ma el fahk. El ku in eisyu ac ma nukewa luk.”
5 Izithunywa zaphenduka njalo zisithi, “UBheni-Hadadi uthi: ‘Ngathumela ngathi ngifuna isiliva legolide lakho, abafazi labantwabakho.
Tok kutu, mwet utuk kas uh sifilpa foloko nu yorol Ahab ac us pac soko sap sel Benhadad su fahk ouinge: “Nga sapot tari nu sum kom in supwama silver, gold, mutan ac tulik.
6 Kodwa ngasolesi isikhathi kusasa ngizathumela izikhulu zami ukuzakhuthuza isigodlo sakho lezindlu zezikhulu zakho. Zizabutha yonke into eligugu kuwe zikuthathele.’”

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.”
Tokosra Ahab el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun facl sac ac fahk, “Kowos liye ke mwet se inge sukna in kunauskutla uh? El supwama kas nu sik ac sap ngan supwala mutan kiuk, tulik nutik, silver ac gold, ac nga tuh wi na sap lal.”
8 Abadala kanye labantu bonke bathi, “Ungalaleli njalo ungamniki lokho akufunayo.”
Na mwet kol ac mwet uh topuk, “Nimet lohng ma el fahk ingan. Nimet kom munasla.”
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.
Ouinge Ahab el fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas lal Benhadad, “Fahkang nu sel tokosra, leum luk, lah nga ac oru sap soko lal meet ah, tusruktu sap soko tok an nga tia ku in lela.” Mwet utuk kas inge som twe sifilpa foloko ke soko pac sap
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.”
sel Benhadad, fahk mu, “Nga ac fahsrot ac us pisen mwet ma ac ku in kunausla siti sum an, ac usla nufon ipin eot mokutkuti inpaolos. Lela god uh in uniyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia orala!”
11 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaphendula yathi, “Mtsheleni lithi: ‘Lowo ohloma ngezempi angabokloloda njengongahlomanga.’”
Tokosra Ahab el topuk, “Fahkang nu sel Tokosra Benhadad lah mwet mweun pwaye se oru konkin lal tukun mweun, tia meet liki.”
12 UBheni-Hadadi wemukela lelilizwi ezinathela lamanye amakhosi emathenteni awo, wahle walawula amabutho akhe esithi: “Hlomelani ukuhlasela.” Basebelungisela ukuhlasela idolobho.
Benhadad el eis top lal Ahab ke pacl se ma el, ac tokosra saya ma welul ah, nimnim in lohm nuknuk selos. El sapkin nu sin mwet mweun lal in akola in mweuni siti sac, na elos fahsryang nu yen elos ac mweun we.
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.’”
In pacl sac, mwet palu se som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Nikmet sangeng sin un mwet mweun lulap se ingan. Nga ac sot kom in kutangulosla misenge, na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.’”
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.”
Ahab el siyuk, “Su ac us mweun uh?” Ac mwet palu sac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu mwet mweun fusr su kolyuk sin kais sie governor in acn Israel pa ac us mweun uh.” Na tokosra el siyuk, “Ac su ac sapsap nu sin mwet nukewa?” Mwet palu sac fahk, “Kom.”
15 Ngakho u-Ahabi wamema abalawuli bamabutho abentanga yabatsha ezabelweni, abangamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili. Waseqoqa labo bonke abanye abako-Israyeli abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa ndawonye.
Ouinge tokosra el pangoneni mwet mweun fusr nukewa su muta ye kolyuk lun governor lun kais sie acn in facl Israel, su pisalos mwet luofoko tolngoul luo nufon. Na el pangonak un mwet mweun lun Israel, su pisalos mwet itkosr tausin.
16 Basuka emini enkulu ngesikhathi uBheni-Hadadi lamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayezomhlomulela belokhu besazinathela bedakwa emathenteni abo.
Mweun sac mutawauk ke infulwen len, ke Benhadad ac tokosra tolngoul luo su welul elos sruhila in lohm nuknuk selos.
17 Abalawuli bezabelweni bentanga yabatsha basuka kuqala. UBheni-Hadadi wayethumele inhloli, ezabika ukuthi, “Kulamadoda ezayo evela eSamariya.”
Mwet mweun fusr Israel elos fahsr meet. Benhadad el tuh supwala mwet kalngeyuk lal in liye acn meeto, ac elos foloko ac fahk nu sel lah un mwet mweun se pa tuku Samaria me.
18 Yena wathi, “Nxa esiza ngokuthula, athumbeni ephila; nxa ezohlasela, athumbeni ephila.”
Benhadad el sapkin, “Elos finne tuku in mweun ku in suk misla, sruokolosi a nimet onelosla.”
19 Abalawuli bamabutho ezabelweni abentanga yabatsha baphuma edolobheni belandelwa libutho
Mwet mweun fusr uh pa us mutun mweun uh, ac un mwet mweun lun Israel fahsr tokolos.
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.
Kais sie sin mwet mweun lun Israel inge uniya mwet se ma el anwuk nu se. Mwet Syria elos kaing, ac mwet Israel ukwalos na. A Benhadad el kaingla fin horse natul, wi pac kutu mwet mweun lal su kasrusr fin horse.
21 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yaqhubeka yakhulela abamabhiza kanye labezinqola zempi yatshaya yabhuqa ama-Aramu amanengi kakhulu.
Tokosra Ahab el som nu yen mweun uh orek we, ac sruokya horse ac chariot, ac orala kutangla na lulap se fin mwet Syria.
22 Ngemva kwalokho, umphrofethi waya enkosini yako-Israyeli wafika wathi, “Hloma uphelele ubone ukuthi ungenzani, ngoba entwasa inkosi yama-Aramu iyeza izokuhlasela futhi.”
Na mwet palu sac som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “Folokla ac musaeak un mwet mweun lom an, akola akwoye, mweyen tokosra lun Syria el ac sifil foloko mweuni kom meet liki infulwen yac fahsru.”
23 Kusenjalo, izikhulu zenkosi yase-Aramu zayicebisa zathi, “Onkulunkulu babo ngonkulunkulu bezintabeni. Yikho besikhulele. Kodwa singalwela emagcekeni, ngempela sizabakhulela.
Mwet kol fulat lal Tokosra Benhadad elos fahk nu sel, “God lun mwet Israel ingan elos god fineol, pa pwanang mwet Israel elos kutangkutla. Tuh kut lulalfongi na yohk lah kut ac kutangulosla kut fin mweunelos yen tupasrpasr.
24 Wena yenza kanje: Susa wonke amakhosi ekulawuleni kwawo ufake abanye abalawuli esikhundleni sawo.
Inge kom eisla tokosra tolngoul luo liki kunokon lalos, ac sang mwet kol ma pisrla ke mweun yen tupasrpasr in aolulos.
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.
Na kom pangoneni mwet mweun lom an in pus oana pisen mwet ma tuh kaingkinkomla, ac sokak horse ac chariot in oana pisen ma wanginla. Kut ac mweuni mwet Israel yen tupasrpasr, ac kut ac fah kutangulosla ke fwil se inge.” Tokosra Benhadad el insese ke kas in kasru lalos inge, ac el oru oana.
26 Ngesikhathi sentwasa uBheni-Hadadi waqoqa ama-Aramu wasesiya e-Afekhi ukuze alwe labako-Israyeli.
Meet liki infulwen yac se tok ah, el pangoneni mwet lal ac welulos som nwe ke siti Aphek in mweuni mwet Israel.
27 Ama-Israyeli ayeseqoqene, anikwa lemiphako, asuka ayawahlangabeza. Ama-Israyeli amisa maqondana lawo kungathi yimihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kanti ama-Aramu ayegcwele indawana yonke.
Mwet Israel uh pangonyukeni ac akola kufwen mwe mweun natulos, ac som nu nien aktuktuk lalos, ac orekelik nu ke u luo, ac tu forang nu sin mwet Syria. Mwet Israel inge elos oana u srisrik luo ke nani fin lumweyuk elos nu ke pisen mwet Syria, su fahsrelik ac nwakla in polo acn sac nufon.
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.’”
Sie mwet palu som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk: ‘Mweyen mwet Syria elos fahk mu nga sie god fineol uh ac tia god nu yen tupasrpasr, nga ac sot kom in kutangla un mwet mweun lulap se inge, na kom ac mwet lom nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.’”
29 Bajamelana okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa bahlaselana. Ama-Israyeli abulala abazinkulungwane ezilikhulu phakathi kwamabutho ama-Aramu ahamba ngezinyawo ngosuku olulodwa.
Mwet Syria ac mwet Israel elos mutana in acn elos aktuktuk we ac ngetani nu sie ke len itkosr. Ke len se akitkosr elos mutawauk in mweun, ac mwet Israel elos uniya siofok tausin mwet mweun lun Syria.
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.
Mwet Syria ma lula elos kaingla nu in siti Aphek, twe pot we ah topla ac toanya pac longoul itkosr tausin selos. Benhadad el kaingla pac nu in siti uh ac wikla in sie fukil oan etok ke sie lohm.
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.”
Mwet pwapa fulat lal ah som nu yorol ac fahk, “Kut lohng mu tokosra lun mwet Israel elos mwet na kulang. Filikutla kut in losya infulwasr ke nuknuk yohk eoa ac pwelah insifasr ke sucl, ac som nu yorol tokosra lun Israel. Na sahp el ac nunak munas nu sum ac tia unikomi.”
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.”
Ouinge elos losya infulwalos ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac pwelah inkwawalos ke sucl, ac som nu yorol Ahab ac fahk, “Benhadad, mwet kulansap lom, el kwafe nu sum tuh kom in lela elan moul.” Ac Ahab el fahk, “Ku el srakna moul? Wona! El oana tamulel se nu sik!”
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.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal Benhadad elos tupan lah oasr akul wo elos ac liye, ac ke Ahab el fahk “tamulel” na elos sulaklak na fahk, “Pwaye sum, Benhadad el tamulel lom!” Na Ahab el sap, “Usalu nu yuruk.” Ke Benhadad el sun acn we, Ahab el solal elan fanyak welul fin chariot natul uh.
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.
Benhadad el fahk nu sel, “Nga ac folokonot siti nukewa ma papa tumuk ah tuh eisla sin papa tomom ah, ac kom fah orala sie acn in kuka ah lom in acn Damascus, oana ke papa tumuk el tuh oru in acn Samaria.” Ahab el topuk, “Ke sripen ma kital aetuila kac inge, nga ac aksukosokyekomla.” Na el orala sie wulela ku inmasrloltal, ac aksukosokyalla.
35 Ngelizwi likaThixo omunye wamadodana abaphrofethi wathi komunye, “Ake ungitshaye ngesikhali sakho,” kodwa wala.
Ke sap lun LEUM GOD, sie mwet palu inmasrlon un mwet palu el sap sie pac selos in puokilya. Tusruktu el srangesr oru.
36 Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi, “Njengoba ungalalelanga ilizwi likaThixo, uzakuthi usuka kimi ubulawe yisilwane.” Ngemva kokusuka kwakhe, wafunyanwa yisilwane sambulala.
Na mwet se ma sapkin el fahk nu sel, “Mweyen kom tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, lion soko ac unikomi ke kom ac tufahna fahla likiyu.” Na ke el tufahna fahla lukel, lion soko fahsryak twe unilya.
37 Umphrofethi wafumana enye njalo indoda wathi kuyo, “Ake ungigwaze.” Yamgwaza leyondoda yamlimaza.
Na mwet palu sac sifilpa som nu yurin sie pac mwet ac fahk, “Puokyuwi!” Na el oru oana el fahk — el liksrenina puokilya na el kineta.
38 Umphrofethi wasuka wayamelela inkosi endleleni. Wazifihla ubuso bakhe ngeqhiye.
Mwet palu sac pwela mutal ke nuknuk se tuh in tia akilenyuk el, ac el som tu inkanek ah, soano tokosra Israel elan tuku.
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.’
Ke pacl se tokosra el tuku, na mwet palu sac wola ac fahk, “Leum fulat, ke nga tuh muta ke mweun ah, sie sin mwet mweun ah use sie mwet lokoalok ma el tuh sruokya, ac fahk nu sik, ‘Taranul el uh. El fin kaingla, mwata ac oan fom: fin tia anwuki kom, kom ac moli ke tolu tausin ipin silver.’
40 Kuthe inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, umuntu lowo wanyamalala.” Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi, “Leso yiso isigwebo sakho. Usuvele wasiqamba wena ngokwakho.”
Tusruk nga tuh kafofo ke kutepacna ma saya, na mwet sac kaingla.” Tokosra el fahk, “Kom sifacna pakiya mwe kalya nu sum uh, ac kom fah akkeokyeyuk fal nu kac.”
41 Umphrofethi waphanga wembula ubuso bakhe, inkosi yako-Israyeli yabona ukuthi ngomunye wabaphrofethi.
Mwet palu sac tulakunla ipin nuknuk sac liki mutal, na tokosra el akilenulak lah sie sin mwet palu ah pa el.
42 Wathi enkosini, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usukhulule umuntu ebengithe kumele afe. Kutsho ukuthi usuzamfela wena, labantu bakho bazafela abantu bakhe.’”
Na mwet palu sac fahk nu sel tokosra, “Pa inge kas sin LEUM GOD: ‘Mweyen kom tuh lela mwet se nga sap in anwuki in kaingla, kom ac fah moli ke moul lom, ac un mwet mweun lom ac fah kunausyukla mweyen elos lela un mwet mweun lal in kaingla.’”
43 Ngokuhlulukelwa langokuzonda, inkosi yako-Israyeli yasuka yabuyela esigodlweni sayo eSamariya.
Tokosra el folokla nu in acn sel Samaria, ac el fosrnga ac inse toasr.
