< 2 Amakhosi 6 >
1 Ixuku labaphrofethi lathi ku-Elisha, “Khangela, indawo esihlala kiyo lawe kayisasanelanga.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai eni, kuo ʻapiʻapi kiate kitautolu ʻae potu ʻoku tau nonofo ai mo koe.
2 Asiye eJodani lapho esizagamula khona izigodo sakhe indawo yokuhlala.” U-Elisha wathi, “Kulungile, hambani.”
ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku ke mau ʻalu ki Sioatani, pea taki taha toʻo ʻe he tangata haʻane ʻakau lalanga, pea mau ngaohi ʻi ai ha potu ke tau nofo ai.” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻalu.”
3 Omunye wabo wathi, “Ungazake uhambe lezinceku zakho na?” U-Elisha wathi, “Kulungile ngizahamba.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke fiemālie mo ke ʻalu mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Te u ʻalu pe.”
4 Ngakho wasehamba labo. Baya eJodani bafika baqalisa ukugamula izigodo.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai mo kinautolu. Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki Sioatani, naʻa nau fai ʻae taʻanga.
5 Omunye wathi egamula, ihloka lakhe laqamuka isihloko salo sawela emanzini. Wasekhala esithi, “Nkosi yami, ihloka leli bengilibolekile.”
Kae lolotonga ʻa ʻene tā ha ʻakau ʻe he tokotaha, naʻe tō hifo ʻae toki ukamea ki he vai: pea naʻa ne tangi mo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻa [ʻeku ]ʻeiki! He naʻe nō ia.”
6 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasebuza esithi, “Liwele ngaphi?” Uthe esemtshengisile indawo yakhona, u-Elisha wagamula uswazi waluphosela khonapho, lokho kwenza ihloka lelo landenda.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe tō hifo ia ʻi fē? Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae potu. Pea naʻa ne tutuʻu mai ha vaʻa ʻakau mo ne lī ia ki ai pea naʻe tētē hake ʻae ukamea.
7 Wasesithi, “Lenyule emanzini.” Umuntu lowo welula isandla sakhe walenyula.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima, mo ne toʻo ia.
8 Inkosi yase-Aramu yayisempini ilwisana labako-Israyeli. Ngemva kokukhulumisana lezikhulu zayo inkosi yathi, “Inkamba yami ngizayimisa endaweni ethile.”
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki ʻIsileli, pea ne fakakaukau mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi he potu ko ē mo ē ʻa hoku ʻapitanga tau.
9 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathumela ilizwi enkosini yako-Israyeli lisithi, “Qaphela ungedluli kuleyana indawo, ngoba ama-Aramu azakwehla ayekhona.”
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ange ki he potu na; he kuo hoko hifo ki ai ʻae kakai Silia.
10 Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yahlolisisa kuleyondawo eyayiqanjwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu. U-Elisha wakuphinda enkosini lokhu kuxwayisa kanenginengi, ukuze izivikele ezindaweni ezinjengalezi.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki he potu naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua mo valoki ai ia, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi ai ʻo ʻikai ke liunga taha pe liunga ua.
11 Lokhu kwayithukuthelisa inkosi yase-Aramu. Yabiza izikhulu zayo yazihwabhela yathi, “Aliyikungitshela yini ukuthi phakathi kwethu ngubani oseceleni lenkosi yako-Israyeli na?”
Ko ia naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi he meʻa ni; pea naʻa ne ui mai ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fakahā mai pe ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku kau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?”
12 Esinye sezikhulu zakhe sathi, “Kakho phakathi kwethu nkosi yami, kodwa u-Elisha, umphrofethi wako-Israyeli, ulakho ukutshela inkosi yako-Israyeli ngalawo mazwi owakhuluma usendlini yakho yokulala.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻA ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ka ko ʻIlaisa pe ko e palōfita ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ke lea ʻaki ʻi hoʻo potu mohe.”
13 Inkosi yabalaya yathi, “Hambani liyemdinga lapho akhona, ukuze ngithumele amadoda ayemthumba.” Kwavela impendulo ethi, “UseDothani.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vakai pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, koeʻuhi ke u fekau atu mo ʻomi ia.” Pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ʻoku ne nofo ʻi Totani.”
14 Inkosi yasithumela amabhiza lezinqola zokulwa kanye lamabutho aqinileyo. Bahamba ebusuku bahle bagombolozela umuzi wakhona.
Ko ia naʻa ne fekau ki ai ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e fuʻu kakai tokolahi: pea naʻa nau omi poʻuli pe ʻonau kāpui ʻae kolo.
15 Kuthe inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu ivuka ekuseni ngelanga elilandelayo yaphuma phandle yathola amabutho alamabhiza lezinqola zokulwa sezihonqolozele idolobho. Inceku yethuka yathi, “Maye, nkosi yami, sizakwenzenjani na?”
Pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne ʻalu kituʻa, “Vakai, naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻe he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻaki ʻae fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “ʻOiauē ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki! Ko e hā te ta fai?”
16 Umphrofethi wathi, “Ungesabi. Labo abalathi banengi kulalabo abangakubo.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko kinautolu ʻoku kau mai kiate kitaua ʻoku tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku kau kiate kinautolu.”
17 U-Elisha wasekhuleka wathi, “Oh Thixo, vula amehlo akhe ukuze abone.” Ngakho uThixo wavula amehlo enceku, yakhangela yabona amaqaqa agcwele amabhiza lezinqola zokulwa ezomlilo zihonqolozele u-Elisha.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakaʻā ʻa hono mata, koeʻuhi ke ne mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe talavou ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa ne sio: pea vakai, naʻe fonu ʻae moʻunga ʻi he fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote afi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻia ʻIlaisa.
18 Kuthe izitha zisondela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuThixo wathi, “Tshaya lababantu babe yiziphofu.” Ngakho wabaphumputhekisa, njengokucela kuka-Elisha.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko hifo kiate ia, naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ni ke nau kui.” Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻIlaisa.
19 U-Elisha wabatshela wathi, “Akusiwo umgwaqo njalo akusiwo umuzi eliwudingayo. Ngilandelani, ngizalikhokhela liye emuntwini elimdingayo.” Ngakho wabakhokhelela eSamariya.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e hala eni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kolo eni: muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he tangata ʻoku mou kumi ki ai.” Ka naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki Samēlia.
20 Sebephakathi komuzi, u-Elisha wathi, “Thixo, vula amehlo alababantu ukuze babone.” Ngakho uThixo wavula amehlo abo, bazibonela ukuthi babephakathi kweSamariya.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki Samēlia, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā honau mata ʻe Sihova, pea naʻa nau mamata; pea vakai, kuo nau ʻi he loto [kolo ]ʻo Samēlia.
21 Inkosi yako-Israyeli ithe ibabona, yabuza ku-Elisha yathi, “Ngibabulale yini, baba? Ngibabulale na?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻIlaisa, ʻi heʻene mamata kiate kinautolu, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, te u teʻia ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai? Te u teʻia ʻakinautolu?”
22 Yena waphendula wathi, “Ungababulali. Kambe ungababulala yini ngenkemba loba ngomtshoko wakho abantu obathumbileyo. Baphe ukudla lamanzi ukuze badle babe sebebuyela enkosini yabo.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke teʻia ʻakinautolu: te ke fie tāmate ʻakinautolu kuo ke maʻu pōpula ʻi hoʻo heletā pea mo hoʻo kaufana? Tuku ki honau ʻao ʻae mā mo e vai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai mo inu, pea ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki.”
23 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yasibenzela idili elikhulu, bathe sebeqedile ukudla lokunatha, yabakhulula ukuba bahambe, ngakho basuka babuyela enkosini yabo. Kwathi amaxuku amabutho ase-Aramu ayehlala ehlasela elako-Israyeli akhawula ukuhlasela.
Pea naʻa ne teuteu maʻanautolu ʻae meʻakai lahi: pea hili ʻenau kai mo inu, naʻa ne fekau ke nau ʻalu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki. Pea pehē naʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae ngaahi kautau mei Silia ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 Ngemva kwesikhathi, uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu yaqoqa amabutho ayo wonke yayavimbezela umuzi waseSamariya.
Pea hili ange eni, naʻe tānaki ʻe Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ne ʻalu hake, ʻo ne kāpui ʻa Samēlia ʻaki ʻae tau.
25 Kwaba lendlala enkulu eSamariya ngesikhathi sokuvinjezelwa kwayo; ngakho inhloko kababhemi yayithengiswa ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, legajana lombhida othile ngamashekeli amahlanu esiliva.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi Samēlia: pea vakai, naʻa nau kāpui ai pe ia ʻaki ʻae tau, pea ko e meʻa ia naʻe fakatau ai ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ʻasi ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siliva ʻe valungofulu, pea mo e vahe fā ʻoe kape ʻo ʻete lupe ki he konga siliva ʻe nima.
26 Kwathi ngolunye usuku inkosi yako-Israyeli ihambahamba phezu komduli womuzi, owesifazane othile wamemeza esithi kuyo, “Akungincede, baba nkosi yami!”
Pea lolotonga ʻae ʻalu ange ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he funga ʻā, naʻe tangi mai kiate ia ha fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi, tokoni mai.”
27 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa uThixo engakusizi, mina kambe ngizaluthatha ngaphi uncedo? Ngizaluthatha esikhamelweni sewayini yini loba esizeni sokubhulela na?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe Sihova, ʻe fēfē ʻa ʻeku tokoni koe ʻeau? Mei he tukuʻanga uite, pe mei he tataʻoʻanga uaine?”
28 Wasebuza wathi, “Kodwa uhlutshwa yini?” Owesifazane waphendula wathi, “Owesifazane lo uthe kimi, ‘Letha umntanakho ukuba simudle lamuhla, kuzakuthi kusasa sidle owami.’
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻa hoʻo mamahi?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe pehē mai ʻe he fefine ni kiate au, ‘Foaki hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia he ʻaho ni, pea te ta kai ʻa ʻeku tama ʻaʻaku ʻi he ʻapongipongi.’
29 Ngakho simphekile umntanami samudla. Ngosuku olulandelayo ngasengisithi, ‘Letha umntanakho ukuba simudle.’ Kodwa yena ubesemfihlile.”
Ko ia ne ma haka ʻa ʻeku tama, pea ne ma kai ia: pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, Foaki ʻa hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia: ka kuo ne fufū ʻa ʻene tama.”
30 Inkosi ithe isizwa okwakutshiwo ngowesifazane lowo yadabula izigqoko zayo. Inkosi yayihamba phezu komduli, abantu bayikhangela, babona ukuthi isigqoko sayo sangaphansi sasingesokulila.
Pea vakai ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi lea ʻae fefine, naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ange ʻi he funga ʻā, pea naʻe sio ʻae kakai, pea vakai kuo ne ʻai ʻae kofu tauangaʻa ki loto ki hono kakano.
31 Inkosi yathi, “Sengathi uNkulunkulu angangihlanekela kubi nxa ikhanda lika-Elisha indodana kaShafathi kungasa lilokhu limi phezu kwamahlombe akhe lamuhla!”
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻo lahi hake, ʻo kapau ʻe kei tuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati kiate ia he ʻaho ni.”
32 U-Elisha wayehlezi endlini yakhe labadala babehlezi laye. Inkosi yasithumela isithunywa phambili, kodwa sithe singakafiki u-Elisha wathi ebadaleni, “Liyakubona yini ukuthi umbulali lo usethumele umuntu ukuba azoquma ikhanda lami na? Khangelani, ekufikeni kwesithunywa lapha libovala umnyango libambe isivalo siqine. Kalizizwa yini izisinde zenkosi yaso ngemva kwaso na?”
Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻIlaisa ʻi hono fale, pea naʻe nonofo mo ia ʻae kau mātuʻa; pea naʻe fekau atu [ʻe he tuʻi ]ha tangata meiate ia: ka ʻi he teʻeki hoko mai ʻae talafekau kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ki he kau mātuʻa, “ʻOku mou vakai, ki heʻene fekau mai ʻe he foha ni ʻoe fakapō, ke ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻa hoku ʻulu? Vakai, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae talafekau, tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea taʻofi maʻu ia ki he matapā: ʻikai kuo patū mai ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene ʻeiki ki mui ʻiate ia?”
33 Kwathi esakhuluma, isithunywa sahle safika. Ngakho inkosi yathi, “Uhlupho lonke lolu luvela kuThixo. Pho-ke ngisamlindelelani uThixo na?”
Pea lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei talanoa mo kinautolu, vakai, naʻe hoko hifo kiate ia ʻae talafekau: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae kovi ni; koeʻumaʻā ʻa ʻeku kei tatali ai kia Sihova?”
