2 Amakhosi 17
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili wokubusa kuka-Ahazi inkosi yakoJuda, uHosheya indodana ka-Ela waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa iminyaka eyisificamunwemunye.
ʻI hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hiva.
2 Wenza ububi phambi kukaThixo, kodwa akubanga njengokwamakhosi ako-Israyeli amandulelayo.
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.
3 UShalimaneseri inkosi yase-Asiriya weza wahlasela uHosheya, owayekade eyisichaka sakhe esasithela kuye.
Naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Salimanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono tauʻi; pea naʻe fakatokalalo kiate ia ʻa Hosea, pea naʻa ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia.
4 Kodwa inkosi yase-Asiriya yafumana ukuthi uHosheya ngumhlamuki, ngoba wayekade ethumele amanxusa enkosini yaseGibhithe uSo, njalo engasatheli imithelo enkosini yase-Asiriya njengalokhu ayekwenza minyaka yonke. Ngakho uShalimaneseri wambamba wamfaka entolongweni.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae teu lapa ʻe Hosea: he kuo fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau talafekau kia So ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ʻae meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne faʻa fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē; ko ia naʻe fakahū ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fale pōpula, mo ne haʻi ia ʻi he fale pōpula.
5 Inkosi yase-Asiriya yasihlasela ilizwe lonke, yangena eSamariya yalivimbezela okweminyaka emithathu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ne ʻalu hake ki Samēlia, mo ne kāpui ia ʻaki ʻae tau ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
6 Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye kaHosheya, inkosi yase-Asiriya yathumba iSamariya yaxotshela abako-Israyeli e-Asiriya. Yabahlalisa eHala, ngaseGozani eMfuleni uHabhori lasemizini yamaMede.
Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo Hosea naʻe lavaʻi ʻa Samēlia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ki ʻAsilia, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi Hala pea ʻi Hapoa ki he vaitafe ʻo Kosani, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Mitia.
7 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ngenxa yokona kwabako-Israyeli phambi kukaThixo, owabakhupha eGibhithe emandleni kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu
He naʻe pehē, kuo fai angahala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he lalo nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
8 belandela lemikhuba yezizwe uThixo ayezixotshile phambi kwabo kanye lemikhuba amakhosi ako-Israyeli ayeseyingenisile.
Pea kuo nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakanofo.
9 Basebesenza ngasese izinto ezazingalunganga kuThixo. Kusukela emphongolweni wesilindo kusiya enqabeni yomuzi basebezakhele izindawo zokukhonzela emizini yabo.
Pea naʻe fai fakafufū ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai totonu kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, mei he foʻi fale māʻolunga ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo fai hake ki he kolo naʻe fakaʻā.
10 Bazimisela amatshe okukhonzela lezinsika zika-Ashera kuwo wonke amaqaqa aphakemeyo langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu ʻi he tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē:
11 Kuzozonke izindawo zokukhonzela batshisa impepha, njengalokhu okwakusenziwa yizizwe uThixo ayezixotshile phambi kwabo. Benza okubi okwathukuthelisa uThixo.
Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha atu mei honau ʻao ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova:
12 Bakhonza izithombe, lanxa uThixo wayethe, “Lingabokwenza lokhu.”
He naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni.
13 UThixo wayebaxwayisile abako-Israyeli kanye labakoJuda ngabaphrofethi bakhe bonke lezanuse wathi: “Tshiyani izindlela zenu ezimbi. Gcinani imithetho yami lezimiso zami ezisemlayweni engalaya okhokho benu ngawo lengawuthumela kini ngezinceku zami abaphrofethi.”
Ka naʻe valokiekina ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli pea ki Siuta ʻi heʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke tafoki ʻakimoutolu mei homou ngaahi hala kovi, pea tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau mo e fono kotoa pē ko ia ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, peau fekauʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.”
14 Kodwa abalalelanga njalo baba ntamolukhuni njengabokhokho babo, bona abangazange bathembele kuThixo wabo.
Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fie ongoʻi, ka naʻa nau fakakekeva ʻa honau kia, ʻo hangē ko e kia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.
15 Balahla izimiso zakhe lesivumelwano asenza labokhokho babo lezixwayiso ayebanike zona. Balandela izithombe eziyize, labo ngokwabo baba yize, balingisela izizwe ababehlala phakathi kwazo lanxa uThixo wayebalaye wathi, “Lingenzi njengabo,” njalo benza izinto ayebanqabele ukuthi bazenze.
Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki kiate kinautolu; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he vaʻinga, pea naʻa nau hoko ʻo vaʻinga, mo nau muimui ki he kakai hiteni naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻo hangē ko kinautolu.
16 Bayephula yonke imilayo kaThixo wabo, bazenzela izithombe ezikhandiweyo ezamathole amabili, benza insika ku-Ashera. Bakhothamela zonke izinkanyezi zezulu, njalo bakhonza uBhali.
Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, ʻio, ʻae ʻuhiki pulu ʻe ua, mo nau ngaohi ha vao tapu, mo nau lotu ki he nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, mo nau tauhi kia Peali.
17 Benza umhlatshelo ngamadodana lamadodakazi abo emlilweni. Babevumisa njalo besenza ubuthakathi, bazinikela ekwenzeni okubi phambi kukaThixo bamthukuthelisa.
Pea naʻa nau pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke nau ʻalu atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻa nau fai fakatēvolo mo nau fai ʻae sausau, pea naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻakinautolu ke fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻa hono houhau.
18 Ngakho uThixo wabathukuthelela abako-Israyeli wabaxotsha kuye. Isizwana sakoJuda yiso kuphela esasalayo,
Ko ia naʻe houhau lahi ai ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, mo ne fetuku atu ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao: naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha ka ko e faʻahinga pe taha ʻo Siuta.
19 loba nje laye uJuda engayigcinanga imilayo kaThixo. Balandela imikhuba eyayingeniswe ngabako-Israyeli.
Pea naʻa mo Siuta naʻe ʻikai tauhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ka naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻekinautolu.
20 Ngakho uThixo wakhalala bonke abantu bako-Israyeli; wabahlukuluza njalo wabanikela ezandleni zabaphangi, waze wabasusa phambi kwakhe.
Pea naʻe siʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, mo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻa ʻene liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.
21 UThixo uthe esemkhiphile u-Israyeli endlini kaDavida, babeka uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi ukuba abe yinkosi yabo. UJerobhowamu wamphambula u-Israyeli ekulandeleni uThixo wambangela ukuba enze isono esikhulu.
He naʻa ne haea mai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fale ʻo Tevita; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ke tuʻi ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati: pea naʻe teketekeʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Selopoami mei he muimui kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he angahala lahi.
22 Abako-Israyeli baqhubeka ngazozonke izono zikaJerobhowamu abaze bazidela.
He naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻa Selopoami ʻaia naʻa ne fai; naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻakinautolu mei ai;
23 UThixo waze wabasusa phambi kwakhe, njengoba wayexwayisile ngezinceku zakhe zonke abaphrofethi. Ngakho abantu bako-Israyeli bathunjwa elizweni labo basiwa e-Asiriya, njalo balokhu bekhonale.
Pea naʻe hiki atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova mei hono ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola naʻa ne fai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe fetuku atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei honau fonua ʻonautolu ki ʻAsilia ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
24 Inkosi yase-Asiriya yaletha abantu ababevela eBhabhiloni, leKhutha, le-Ava, leHamathi kanye leSefavayimi yayabahlalisa emizini yeSamariya endaweni eyayingeyabako-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai mei Papilone, pea mei Kuta, pea mei ʻAva, pea mei Hemati, pea mei Sifaveimi, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, ko e fetongi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Samēlia, mo nofo ʻi hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia.
25 Ekuqaleni kokuhlala kwabo khona, babengamkhonzi uThixo; ngakho uThixo wathumela izilwane phakathi kwabo, zabulala abanye babo.
Pea ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo ʻenau nofo ʻi ai, naʻe ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova: pea ko ia naʻe tuku atu ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe mate ai ʻa honau niʻihi.
26 Kwabikwa enkosini yase-Asiriya kwathiwa, “Abantu obaxotshele eSamariya wabahlalisa emizini yakhona abakwazi ukuthi unkulunkulu walelolizwe ufunani. Usethumele izilwane phakathi kwabo, ezibabulalayo zibaqeda, ngoba abantu abakwazi ukuthi ufunani.”
Ko ia naʻa nau lea ai ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ke hiki mo tuku ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia: ko ia kuo ne fekau atu ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea vakai, ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.
27 Inkosi yase-Asiriya yakhupha isiqondiso yathi, “Thuma omunye wabaphristi owabathumbayo eSamariya, abuyele ayohlala labantu njalo abafundise ukuthi unkulunkulu walelolizwe ufunani.”
Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ki ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa mou ʻomi mei ai; pea tuku ke nau ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi ai, pea tuku ke ne akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.”
28 Ngakho omunye wabaphristi ababethunjwe eSamariya weza wayahlala eBhetheli wabafundisa ukuthi uThixo ukhonzwa njani?
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa nau ʻave mei Samēlia ʻo ne nofo ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau manavahē kia Sihova.
29 Loba kunjalo, yileloqembu ngobuzwe balo lenza onkulunkulu balo emadolobheni wonke ababehlaliswe khona, bababeka ezindaweni zokukhonzela ezazakhiwe ngabantu beSamariya.
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga taki taha ʻa hono ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, mo nau ʻai ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai Samēlia, ko e taki taha ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau nofo ki ai.
30 Abantu ababevela eBhabhiloni babumba uSukhothi-Bhenothi, kwathi ababevela eKhutha benza uNerigali, ababevela eHamathi benza u-Ashima,
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kakai ʻo Papilone ʻa Sukote-Pinoti, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Kuta naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nelikali, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Hemati naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa ʻAsima,
31 ama-Avi enza uNibhazi kanye loTharithaki, lamaSefavi enza umhlatshelo ngokutshisa abantwababo emlilweni benikela ku-Adrameleki lo-Anameleki, onkulunkulu bamaSefavayimi.
Pea ʻe he kakai ʻAvi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nipasi mo Talitaki, pea ʻe he kakai Sifaveimi naʻe tutu ʻenau fānau ʻi he afi kia ʻAtilameleki mo ʻAnameleki, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi.
32 Bamkhonza uThixo, kodwa basebezikhethela phakathi kwabo inhlobo zonke zabantu ukuthi babe ngabaphristi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela.
Ko ia naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu mei he kakai meʻavale ʻaupito ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea naʻa nau fai feilaulau ʻekinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga maʻanautolu.
33 Bamkhonza uThixo, kodwa babekhonza labonkulunkulu babo belandela imikhuba yezizwe ababevela kizo.
Naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, kae tauhi pe ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga naʻa nau ʻave pōpula mei ai.
34 Kuze kube lamuhla balokhu bekwenza lokhu belandela imikhuba emidala. Abamkhonzi uThixo njalo abalandeli izimiso leziqondiso, imithetho lemilayo uThixo ayeyiphe abantwana bakaJakhobe, lo ambiza ngokuthi ngu-Israyeli.
ʻOku nau fai ki heʻenau anga ʻi muʻa ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻekinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi fekau, pe hangē ko e fono mo e fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa Sēkope, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahingoa ko ʻIsileli;
35 UThixo wathi esenza isivumelwano labako-Israyeli, wabalaya wathi, “Lingakhonzi abanye onkulunkulu loba ukubakhothamela, lingabenzeli lutho loba ukubenzela umhlatshelo.
ʻAia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ia ha fuakava, pea naʻa ne valoki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pe fakatōmapeʻe ʻakimoutolu kiate kinautolu, pe tauhi ki ai, pe feilaulau kiate kinautolu:
36 Khonzani kuphela uThixo, yena owalikhuphula walisusa eGibhithe ngamandla amakhulu langesandla somusa esivulekileyo, nguye yedwa okumele limkhonze. Kuye lizakhothama njalo kuye lizanikela imihlatshelo.
Ka ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e nima naʻe mafao atu, ko ia ia te mou manavahē ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou lotu ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou fai ki ai ʻae feilaulau.
37 Linanzelele ngezikhathi zonke ukulondoloza izimiso, leziqondiso, imithetho lemilayo alilobela yona. Lingabokhonza abanye onkulunkulu.
Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, pea mo e fono, mo e fekau, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi maʻamoutolu, te mou tokanga ke fai ia ʻo lauikuonga; pea ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
38 Lingakhohlwa isivumelwano engasenza lani, njalo lingakhonzi abanye onkulunkulu.
Pea ko e fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai te mou fakangaloʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
39 Kodwa, khonzani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, nguye ozalikhulula ezandleni zezitha zenu zonke.”
Ka te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.”
40 Loba kunjalo, kabazange balalele kodwa baqhubeka belandela imikhuba yabo yakuqala.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, pea naʻa nau fai pe ʻo hangē ko ʻenau muʻaki anga.
41 Lanxa babemkhonza uThixo, babelandela izithombe zabo. Lalamuhla abantwababo labantwana babantwababo balokhu besenza khonokho okwakusenziwa ngoyise.
Ko ia, naʻe manavahē ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia kia Sihova, ka naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tongi, ʻa ʻenau fānau mo e fānau ʻo ʻenau fānau: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, kuo pehē pe ʻenau fai ʻekinautolu ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
