1 Amakhosi 21
1 Kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi esithile kwaba lesenzo esithile ngesivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili. Isivini leso sasiseJezerili, phansi kwesigodlo sika-Ahabi inkosi yaseSamariya.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖewo megbe la, nya aɖe va dzɔ ku ɖe Nabɔt, Yezreltɔ ƒe waingble ŋuti. Waingble la nɔ Yezreel eye wòte ɖe Samaria fia, Ahab ƒe fiasã ŋu.
2 U-Ahabi wathi kuNabhothi, “Kahle mina ngilime imibhida yami esivinini sakho, njengoba siphansi kwesigodlo sami. Mina ngizakunika isivini esingcono, loba nxa uthanda, ngizakunika intengo ofisa ukusithengisa ngayo.”
Gbe ɖeka la, Fia Ahab bia Nabɔt be wòadzra anyigba la na ye. Fia la ɖe eme nɛ be, “Medi be mawɔ abɔ aɖe ɖe anyigba sia dzi elabena ete ɖe nye fiasã la ŋu. Egblɔ be yeaxe ga ɖe eta gake ne elɔ̃ la, yeatsɔ anyigba bubu si nyo wu etɔ la aɖo eteƒe nɛ.”
3 Kodwa uNabhothi wathi, “UThixo kangavumi ukuba ngikunike ilifa labobaba.”
Ke Nabɔt ɖo eŋu be, “Anyigba sia nye tɔgbuinyigba na mí. Naneke mana maɖe asi le eŋu na wò o.”
4 Ngalokho u-Ahabi wabuyela ekhaya enyukubele njalo ethukuthele ngoba uNabhothi umJezerili wayethe, “Angizukukunika ilifa labobaba.” U-Ahabi walala embhedeni enyukubele wala lokudla.
Ale Ahab tsɔ dɔmedzoe kple moyɔyɔ trɔ yi eƒe fiasã me. Egbe nuɖuɖu, eye wòɖamlɔ anyi hetrɔ mo ɖo ɖe gli ŋu!
5 Umkakhe uJezebheli wangena endlini wambuza wathi, “Kungani usineme kangaka? Kungani usala ukudla?”
Srɔ̃a, Yezebel biae be, “Nya kae dzɔ ɖe dziwò? Nu kae na nètɔtɔ eye nèdo dɔmedzoe ale?”
6 Yena wamphendula wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi ngithe kuNabhothi umJezerili, ‘Ngithengisela isivini sakho; loba nxa ufuna, ngikunike esinye isivini esikhundleni salesi.’ Kodwa ungiphendule wathi ‘Angizukukunika isivini sami.’”
Ahab ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mebia Nabɔt be wòadzra eƒe anyigba nam alo wòaɖɔ lii kple tɔnye aɖe, ke egbe!”
7 UJezebheli umka-Ahabi wathi, “Lokhu yikho okwenzayo njengenkosi yako-Israyeli na? Vuka udle! Uchelese. Mina ngizakuzuzela isivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili.”
Yezebel biae be, “Wòe nye Israel fia loo alo menye wòe o? Fɔ, nàɖu nu, mègatsi dzimaɖeɖi le nya sia ŋu kura o. Maxɔ Nabɔt ƒe waingble la na wò bɔbɔe!”
8 UJezebheli wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo lika-Ahabi, wazidinda ngophawu luka-Ahabi, wazithumela ebadaleni lakuzo izikhulu ezazihlala loNabhothi emzini wakibo.
Ale Yezebel ŋlɔ agbalẽwo ɖe Fia Ahab ƒe ŋkɔ me, tre enu kple Ahab ƒe ŋkɔsigɛ eye wòɖo wo ɖe Yezreel ƒe dumegã siwo nɔ teƒe ɖeka kple Nabɔt.
9 Ezincwadini lezo waloba ukuthi: “Memezelani usuku lokuzila libe selibeka uNabhothi esihlalweni esiqakathekileyo phakathi kwabantu.
Eɖe gbe na wo le agbalẽawo me be, “Miƒo ƒu dua me tɔwo hena nutsitsidɔ kple gbedodoɖa. Emegbe la, miayɔ Nabɔt
10 Libe selihlalisa izigangi ezimbili maqondana laye lithi kazifakaze ngokuthi uthuke uNkulunkulu kanye lenkosi. Libe selimkhuphela phandle liyemkhanda ngamatshe limbulale.”
eye miadi ame vlo eve siwo aka aʋatso ɖe Nabɔt si, atso enu be eƒo fi de Mawu kple fia la. Ekema miakplɔe do goe le dua me eye miaƒu kpee wòaku.”
11 Ngakho abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini kaNabhothi benza lokho ababekuthunywe nguJezebheli ngezincwadi ayebalobele zona.
Dumegãwo kple bubume siwo le dua me la wɔ nu si Yezebel ŋlɔ ɖo ɖa wo be woawɔ la.
12 Bamemezela isikhathi sokuzila bahlalisa uNabhothi esihlalweni esiphakemeyo phambi kwabantu.
Woƒo ƒu ameawo eye wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Nabɔt.
13 Kwasuka izigangi ezimbili zahlala phambi kwakhe zakhangelana laye zaqalisa ukwethesa uNabhothi amacala, zisithi, “UNabhothi uthuke uNkulunkulu kanye lenkosi.” Ngakho bamkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi bamkhanda ngamatshe bambulala.
Ame eve aɖe siwo si dzitsinya nyui menɔ o la ka aʋatso ɖe Nabɔt si be eƒo fi de Mawu kple fia la. Ale wohee yi dua godo eye woƒu kpee wòku.
14 Basebethumela ilizwi kuJezebheli besithi, “UNabhothi ukhandwe ngamatshe njalo usefile.”
Le esia megbe la, dumegãwo ɖo du ɖe Yezebel be Nabɔt ku.
15 Masinyazana uJezebheli esezwe ukuthi uNabhothi ukhandwe ngamatshe wabulawa, wathi ku-Ahabi, “Vuka uyethatha isivini sikaNabhothi umJezerili sona lesiyana alileyo ukukuthengisela sona. Uvele kasekho, usefile.”
Esi Yezebel se be Nabɔt ku la, egblɔ na Ahab be, “Waingble si Nabɔt gbe be yemadzra na wò o la, fifia àte ŋu axɔe azɔ; Nabɔt ku!”
16 U-Ahabi uthe esizwa ukuthi uNabhothi kasekho, wavuka wayathatha lesosivini sikaNabhothi waseJezerili.
Ale Ahab yi waingble la me be yeaxɔe wòazu ye tɔ.
17 Ilizwi likaThixo leza ku-Elija umThishibi lisithi:
Ke Yehowa gblɔ na Eliya, Tisbitɔ be,
18 “Yehla uyehlangabeza u-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli obusa eSamariya. Usesivinini sikaNabhothi, uye khona ukuze azithathele lesosivini.
“Yi Fia Ahab gbɔ le Samaria. Anɔ Nabɔt ƒe wainbɔ me, axɔe abe etɔe ene.
19 Ufike uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Awubulalanga umuntu wathumba impahla yakhe na?’ Ubususithi kuyo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo; Khonapho lapho izinja ezikhothele khona igazi likaNabhothi, kukhonapho kanye lapho izinja ezizakhothela khona elakho, yebo, elakho kanye!’”
Gblɔ nye nya siawo nɛ be, ‘Nabɔt wuwu mesɔ gbɔ na wò oa? Ɖe wòle be nàda adzoe hã? Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, avuwo ano wò ʋu le dua godo abe ale si wono Nabɔt tɔ ene!’”
20 U-Ahabi wathi ku-Elija, “Wo usungitholile, wena sitha sami!” U-Elija wamphendula wathi, “Yebo sengikutholile ngoba uzinikele ukwenza isono emehlweni kaThixo.
Ahab gblɔ na Eliya be, “Oo nye futɔ, èke ɖe ŋunye!” Eliya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meke ɖe ŋuwò elabena ètsɔ ɖokuiwò dzra na nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
21 ‘Ngizokwehlisela ukubhujiswa. Ngizabhubhisa izizukulwane zakho ngisuse sonke isilisa sokucina ku-Ahabi ko-Israyeli loba yisigqili loba ngokhululekileyo.
Mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava dziwò, matsrɔ̃ wò dzidzimeviwo eye maɖe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe ɖa le Ahab ŋu le Israel, eɖanye ablɔɖevi alo kluvi o.
22 Indlu yakho ngizayenza lokhu engakwenza ekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi lekaBhasha indodana ka-Ahija, ngoba ungithukuthelisile wabangela ukuthi u-Israyeli enze isono.’
Mawɔ wò aƒe abe Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi tɔ ene eye abe Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi tɔ ene elabena èdo dziku nam eye nèna Israel ge ɖe nu vɔ̃ me.
23 Ngalokho uThixo uthi ngoJezebheli: ‘Izinja zizamdabudabula uJezebheli zimdlele emidulini yaseJezerili.’
“Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ nam ku ɖe Yezebel ŋuti be, ‘Avuwo aɖu Yezebel ƒe kukua le Yezreel ƒe gliwo gbɔ.’
24 Izinja zizakudla bonke abangabaka-Ahabi abafela edolobheni, izinyoni zezulu zizakudla labo abazafela emaphandleni.”
“Avuwo aɖu Ahab ƒe aƒemetɔ siwo aku ɖe dua me eye dziƒoxeviwo aɖu esiwo aku ɖe gbedzi.”
25 (Akuzange kube lendoda eyayifanana lo-Ahabi yena owazinikela ukuthi adale isono phambi kukaThixo, ekhuthazwa ngumkakhe uJezebheli.
Ame aɖeke meganɔ anyi kpɔ abe Ahab ene, ame si tsɔ eɖokui dzra na nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ le Yehowa ŋkume o elabena srɔ̃a Yezebel ye do ŋusẽe.
26 Waziphatha butshapha kakhulu elandela izithombe, njengama-Amori wona ayesuswe nguThixo phambi kuka-Israyeli.)
Ewɔ ŋunyɔnu geɖewo to legbawo yomedzedze me abe Amoritɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israel ŋgɔ la ene.
27 U-Ahabi wathi esizwa lawomazwi, wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wembatha amasaka wazila. Walala embethe amasaka wahamba edanile.
Esi Ahab se nya siawo la, edze eƒe awuwo heta akpanya eye wotsi nu dɔ. Enɔ akpanya me henɔ yiyim nublanuitɔe.
28 Ngemva kwalokho ilizwi likaThixo lathi ku-Elija umThishibi:
Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Eliya, Tisbitɔ la be,
29 “Ukubonile na ukuthi u-Ahabi usezithobe kanganani phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuzithoba kwakhe, angiyikumehlisela lobobubi esaphila, kodwa ngizakwehlisela endlini yakhe ensukwini zendodana yakhe.”
“Èkpɔ ale si Ahab bɔbɔ eɖokui le ŋkunye mea? Esi wòbɔbɔ eɖokui ta la, nyemahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e la vɛ le eƒe ŋkekewo me o, ke boŋ mahee va eƒe aƒe dzi le via ƒe ŋkekewo me.”
