2 Imilando 13
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJerobhowamu, u-Abhija waba yinkosi yakoJuda,
Jeroboamu'ma 18ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Abija'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.
2 njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka emithathu. Ibizo likanina lalinguMikhaya, indodakazi ka-Uriyeli waseGibhiya. Kwaba lempi phakathi kuka-Abhija loJerobhowamu.
Hagi Abija'a 3'a kafu Jerusalemia kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Gibea kumateti Urieli mofakino agi'a Mikaia'e. Hagi Jeroboamu'ene Abijakea ana knafina tusi ha' hu'na'e.
3 Bathi behlangana ekulweni, u-Abhija wayelamadoda aqinileyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane, kanti uJerobhowamu wahlangabezana laye elamadoda azinkulungwane ezificaminwembili.
Hagi Abija'a 400 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe'aramina zamavareno Jeroboamuna hara hunte'naku vigeno, Jeroboamu'a 800 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe zamavareno Juda vahera hara hu'zmantenaku e'ne.
4 U-Abhija wema phezu kweNtaba iZemarayimu, elizweni lamaqaqa lako-Efrayimi, wathi: “Wena Jerobhowamu kanye laye wonke u-Israyeli, lalelani kimi, lizwe!
Hagi Abija'a Efraemi agona kokampi Zemaraimi agonare oti'neno amanage huno kezanati'ne, Jeroboamugane, maka Israeli vahe'mota kama antahiho!
5 Alikwazi na ukuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, unikele ubukhosi bako-Israyeli kuDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube nininini ngesivumelwano setswayi na?
Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'ma hanavenentake huvempage huno, Israeli vahe kini trara Devitine agripinti'ma fore hunante anante'ma hanaza vahe'mokizmi kini tra mevava hugahie huno'ma hu'neana ontahi'nazo?
6 Kukanti uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, isikhulu sikaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, uhlamukele inkosi yakhe.
Hianagi korapara Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu, Deviti eri'za nemo otino Deviti nemofo kva ne'a Solomonina hararente'ne.
7 Abantu ababi bamlandela behlamukela uRehobhowami indodana kaSolomoni esesemncinyane engakaqedisisi njalo engakabi lamandla okumelana labo.
Ana'ma nehige'za mago'a kumazafa vahe'mo'za Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamu'na hararente'naze. Hagi ana knafina Rehoboamu'a osi mofavre mani'neankino, ana kezmirera mago zana osu'ne.
8 Khathesi licabanga ukumelana lombuso kaThixo, ophethwe ngamadodana kaDavida ngoba libona libanengi kakhulu, lilamathole eGolide elawenzelwa nguJerobhowamu ukuba abe ngonkulunkulu.
Hagi kagri'ma ohampriga'a hanave sondia vaheka'a manizageno, havi anumzama golire bulimakao anentama Jeroboamu'ma tro hugami'nea anumzama ante'nana zanku nentahinka, Ra Anumzamo'ma Deviti naga'ma huvempa huno ami'nea kini tra eri atregahue hunka nehano?
9 Kalibaxotshanga yini abaphristi bakaThixo, amadodana ka-Aroni, kanye labaLevi, lazibekela abenu abaphristi njengalokhu okwenziwa ngabantu bamanye amazwe na? Kuthi lowo ofika elenkunzi loba inqama eziyisikhombisa ukuba ahlukaniselwe uThixo waba ngumphristi walokho okungayisikho onkulunkulu.
Hagi kagra Aroni naga'ene, Livae nagapinti Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera zmahenatinka, ru mopafi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hunka, kagra'a pristi vahetami zamazeri oti'nane. Hagi iza'oma mago agaho bulimakaogi, 7ni'a ve sipisipima avrenoma agra'ama azeri ruotge'ma hunaku'ma e'nea vahera, zamavarenka havi anumzamofo pristi vahe zmantanke'za manitere hu'naze.
10 Kodwa thina, uThixo uNkulunkulu ngowethu, asimdelanga. Thina abaphristi esilabo ngamadodana ka-Aroni, amkhonzayo uThixo, njalo baphathiswa ngabaLevi.
Hianagi tagra, Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofona tamagena huomi'none. Aroni mofavremo'za pristi eri'zana erizageno, Livae naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana zamaza hu'za e'nerize.
11 Bayanikela kuThixo ekuseni lantambama insuku zonke iminikelo yokutshiswa lempepha elephunga elihle. Bayalungisa izinkwa ezahlukaniselwe uThixo etafuleni legolide elihle, balumathise izibane oluthini lwegolide ntambama nsuku zonke. Thina siyawulalela umlayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu. Kodwa lina limdelile.
Hagi zamagra mika kna nanterane, kinaganena tare zupa Ra Anumzamofontega ofane mnanentake insensinena kre mna vuntetere nehu'za, Anumzamofo avugama ante bretia goli itare nente'za, golire tro hunte'nea tavi azotare mika kinaga tavira rekru huntetere nehaze. Tagra Ra Anumzamofo amage anteta nevarurunketa, tamagra tamefi agrira humi'naze.
12 UNkulunkulu ulathi, nguye osikhokhelayo. Abaphristi bakhe abaphethe amacilongo bazawavuthela besibizela ekulweni lani. Madoda ako-Israyeli, lingabokulwa loThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, ngoba aliyikuphumelela.”
Hagi menina antahiho, Anumzamo'a tagri kaziga mani'neankino, pristi vahe'mo'za ha'ma huramante ufe renaku retro hu'za mani'naze. Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamofona ha' reonteho. Na'ankure hara hu ageteoregahaze.
13 UJerobhowamu wayesethumele elinye iviyo lamabutho akhe ngemva ukuze athi yena ejamelane labakoJuda phambili lona licathamele ngemva kwabo.
Hagi Jeroboamu'a sondia vahetmina huzmantege'za zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naku kafona ome ante'naze. Hagi mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za Juda sondia vahe zamavuga manizage'za, mago'amo'za zamefi kafona eme ante'naze.
14 AbakoJuda bafulathela kodwa babona ukuthi babehlaselwa inxa zonke phambili langemva kwabo. Bakhala kuThixo. Abaphristi bevuthela amacilongo abo
Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama kazana ha' vahe'mo'za zamavugati'ene zamefikati'ene e'naze. Ana'ma hige'za Ra Anumzamofontega zamazama hanigura krafage hazageno, pristi vahe'mo'za ufere'naze.
15 kwathi abakoJuda bakhwaza ngephimbo lokuhlasela empini. Kuthe kuzwakala ukukhwaza ngephimbo lokuhlasela, uNkulunkulu wabhuqa uJerobhowamu labo bonke abako-Israyeli phambi kuka-Abhija labakoJuda.
Ana'ma hute'za Juda sondia vahe'mo'za ha'mahu kezati'naze. Hagi Juda vahe'mo'za hahu kezati'za krafagema nehazageno'a, Jeroboamune maka Israeli vahera Anumzamo'a hara huzmanteno, Abijane Juda vahe zamavuga hara huzmagatere'ne.
16 Abako-Israyeli babalekela abakoJuda njalo uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezandleni zabo.
Ana'ma higeno'a, Israeli vahe'mo'za koro frazageno, Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera Juda vahe zamazampi zamavarente'ne.
17 U-Abhija lamabutho akhe babulala amadoda amanengi kakhulu, kwafa amadoda ako-Israyeli aqinileyo empini azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
Hagi Abija'ene Juda vahe'mo'za hanavenentake Israeli sondia vahera tusi vahekrerfa zamahe'nazankino, ana zupa 500 tauseni'a sondia vahe zamahe fri'naze.
18 Amadoda ako-Israyeli aqinileyo ngalesosikhathi anqotshwa, kwathi abakoJuda baphumelela ngoba babethembele kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
E'ina hu'za Juda vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mo'za zamagra Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzante zamentintia hu'nazagu anara hu'naze.
19 U-Abhija waxotshana loJerobhowamu wamthathela amadolobho eBhetheli, leleJeshana kanye lele-Efroni, lemizi eyayiseduzane khonapho.
Ana higeno Abija'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Jeroboamune sondia vahe'a zamahe'za zamarotgo hazage'za nefrage'za mago'a ranra kuma'zmia zamahe'za hanare'ne. E'i ana kumatmina, Beteli rankumaki, Jesana rankumaki, Efroni rankumaki, maka neone kumatmima ana rankumataminte'ma megagi'nea kumatmina zamahe'za hanare'naze.
20 UJerobhowamu kazange abuse futhi kusabusa u-Abhija. UThixo wamtshaya wafa.
Hagi Abija'ma hanaventino kinima mani'neno'ma kegava hu'nea knafina, Jeroboamu'a mago'enena hihamua erino kinia omanigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a henka ahe fri'ne.
21 Kodwa u-Abhija waqina waba lamandla embusweni. Wathatha abafazi abalitshumi lane waba lamadodana angamatshumi amabili lamadodakazi alitshumi lesithupha.
Hianagi Abija'a tusiza huno hankavenentake kini efore nehuno, 14ni'a a'ne anteneno, 22'a ne' mofavreraminki, 16ni'a mofanegi huno zamante'ne.
22 Ezinye izehlakalo ekubuseni kuka-Abhija, akwenzayo lakutshoyo, kulotshiwe ezindabeni zomphrofethi u-Ido.
Hagi maka'zama Abijama hu'nea zamofo agenkea kasnampa ne' Ido avontafepi krente'naze.
