2 Amakhosi 8
1 U-Elisha wayetshele umfazi olomntwana ayemvuse ekufeni wathi, “Suka uhambe labendlu yakho uyehlala lapha ongathuthela khona okwesikhatshana, ngoba uThixo uzaletha indlala elizweni ezathatha iminyaka eyisikhombisa.”
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fefine, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu moʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu ʻa koe mo ho kau nofoʻanga, pea ʻāunofo ʻi ha potu pe te ke faʻa ʻāunofo ki ai: he kuo pau pe meia Sihova ke ʻai ha honge; pea ʻe hoko foki ia ki he fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.”
2 Owesifazane lowo wakwenza lokho njengokulaywa kwakhe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu. Yena kanye labendlu yakhe basuka bayahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya okweminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fefine, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ʻalu fakataha mo hono kaungāʻapi, mo ne nofo ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.
3 Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa wasuka elizweni lamaFilistiya waya enkosini yakibo wayacela indawo yomuzi kanye lamasimu akhe.
Pea ʻi heʻene hiliange ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu, naʻe toe liliu mai ʻae fefine mei he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu ke tangi ki he tuʻi ke toe maʻu ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua.
4 Inkosi yayikhuluma loGehazi, isisebenzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu, yathi, “Ake ungixoxele ngezimanga ezinkulu esezike zenziwa ngu-Elisha.”
Pea naʻe alea ʻae tuʻi mo Kehesi ʻaia naʻe tamaioʻeiki ki he tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole ke ke fakahā mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fai ʻe ʻIlaisa.
5 Uthe uGehazi esathi uyalandisela inkosi ngokuthi u-Elisha wavusa njani abafileyo, owesifazane owayelendodana yakhe eyasiliswa ngu-Elisha wafika ezocela ukubuyela emzini wakhe lokulima amasimu akhe. UGehazi wathi, “Nguyenalo owesifazane, nkosi yami, nansi lendodana yakhe, eyiyo eyavuswa kwabafileyo ngu-Elisha.”
Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fakahā ki he tuʻi, ʻa ʻene toe fakamoʻui ʻae sino mate, vakai, naʻe tangi mai ki he tuʻi ʻae fefine ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ke ne toe maʻu mai ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kehesi, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ko e fefine eni, pea ko ʻene tama eni, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ʻIlaisa.”
6 Inkosi yambuza ngalokhu umama lowo, lakanye wakufakaza lokho. Inkosi yasikhetha esinye sezikhulu zayo ukuba sikhangele izikhalazo zowesifazane yaqonqosela yathi, “Uze umbuyisele konke okwakungokwakhe, lenzuzo yonke eyasala izuzakala emasimini akhe kusukela mhla asuka kulelilizwe kuze kube sekuphendukeni kwakhe lamuhla.”
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻeke atu ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, naʻa ne fakamatala ia kiate ia. Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ki ha matāpule ʻe tokotaha, ʻo pehē, “Toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻaʻana, pea mo e tupu kotoa pē ʻo ʻene ngoue talu mei he ʻaho naʻa ne ʻalu ai mei he fonua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.”
7 U-Elisha waya eDamaseko, uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula. Inkosi isitsheliwe ngalokho ukuthi,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Tamasikusi; pea naʻe mahakiʻia ʻa Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia; pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ki heni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
8 “Umuntu kaNkulunkulu usefikile uvela ekudeni khonale esiza lapha,” wathi kuHazayeli: “Thatha isipho uyehlangabeza umuntu kaNkulunkulu. Khuluma ubuze uThixo ngaye; uthi, ‘Kambe ngizasila yini kulokhu kugula na?’”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hasaeli, Toʻo ha meʻaʻofa ʻi ho nima, pea ke ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki mo e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fehuʻi kia Sihova ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pe te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni?”
9 UHazayeli waphuma wayahlangabeza u-Elisha, ephethe izipho zezimpahla ezinhle kakhulu ezenziwa ngabaleminwe eDamaseko zithwelwe ngamakamela angamatshumi amane. Wafika wangena wema phambi kwakhe, wathi, “Indodana yakho uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu ungithumile ukuba ngizobuza, uthe yena, ‘Kambe ngizasila emkhuhlaneni na?’”
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Hasaeli ke fetaulaki mo ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae meʻaʻofa ʻi hono nima, ʻio, mei he meʻa lelei kotoa pē ʻi Tamasikusi, ko e ngaahi kavenga naʻe fua ʻe he fanga kāmeli ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻa ne haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ne pehē, Kuo fekauʻi au ʻe ho foha ko Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke pehē, “Te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai?”
10 U-Elisha waphendula wathi, “Hamba uyemtshela ukuthi, ‘Ngempela uzasila’; kodwa uThixo usebonakalisile kimi umbono wokuthi uzakufa.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku ke faʻa moʻui hake moʻoni: ka kuo fakahā mai ʻe Sihova ko e moʻoni pe te ne mate.”
11 Wamkhangela engaciyozi emuthe nzo ngamehlo uHazayeli waze waba lenhloni. Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasekhala.
Pea naʻe sio fakamamaʻu ia, pea naʻa ne mā ai: pea naʻe tangi ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
12 UHazayeli wabuza wathi, “Kungani inkosi yami ikhala?” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu waphendula wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi ngiyabazi ububi ozabenza ebantwini bako-Israyeli; uzatshisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo, ubulale lamadodana abo ngenkemba, uchoboze ingane zabo njalo uqhaqhe abesifazane abazithweleyo.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te ke fai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: te ke tutu ʻa honau ngaahi kolo tau, pea te ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea te ke laiki ʻa ʻenau tamaiki, mo fahiʻi ʻae kau fefine ʻoku feitama.”
13 UHazayeli wathi, “Kambe inceku yakho, yona iyinja ngokwayo, ingasanelisa njani isiga esingako?” U-Elisha waphendula wathi, “UThixo ungitshengisile ukuthi wena uzakuba yinkosi yase-Aramu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ka ko e hā, ko e kulī ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au, ke u fai ha meʻa pehē fau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Kuo fakaʻilo mai ʻe Sihova ke ke tuʻi ko e ki Silia.”
14 Ngakho uHazayeli wasuka ku-Elisha wabuyela enkosini yakhe. UBheni-Hadadi wasebuza esithi, “Utheni u-Elisha kuwe?” UHazayeli yena waphendula wathi, “Ungitshele ukuthi ngempela uzasila.”
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai meia ʻIlaisa, mo ne haʻu ki heʻene ʻeiki; ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻa ʻIlaisa kiate koe? Pea naʻa ne pehēange, naʻa ne fakahā mai te ke moʻui hake moʻoni.”
15 Kodwa ngosuku olulandelayo wathatha ingubo, wayigxamuza emanzini, wasembomboza ubuso benkosi ngayo yaze yafa. Ngakho uHazayeli waba yinkosi.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻe toʻo [ʻe Hasaeli ]ha konga holo matolu, mo ne unu ia ʻi he vai, pea naʻa ne folahi ia ki hono mata, ke ne mate ai: pea naʻe fetongi ai ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hasaeli.
16 Ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, ngesikhathi uJehoshafathi eyinkosi yakoJuda, uJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi waqalisa ukubusa eyinkosi yakoJuda.
Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka naʻe tuʻi ʻa Sihosafate ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
17 Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili eqalisa ukubusa, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka eyisificaminwembili.
Naʻe tolungofulu ma ua ʻa ʻene taʻu ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.
18 Yena wahamba emanyathelweni amakhosi ako-Israyeli, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe ngabendlu ka-Ahabi, ngoba wayethethe indodakazi ka-Ahabi. Wona phambi kukaThixo.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
19 Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida inceku yakhe, uThixo kathandanga ukudiliza indlu kaJuda. Wayemthembise ukugcina isibane sikaDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube nini lanini.
Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻa Siuta ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi pe ko Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai ke foaki maʻuaipē kiate ia ha maama, pea ki hono hako.
20 Ngensuku zikaJehoramu, abase-Edomi bahlamukela uJuda babeka eyabo inkosi.
ʻI hono kuonga ʻoʻona naʻe angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ha tuʻi maʻanautolu pe.
21 Ngakho uJehoramu waya eZayiri lezinqola zakhe zokulwa. Ama-Edomi amhanqa yena kanye labalawuli bezinqola zokulwa, wavuka ebusuku waphulukundlela ngobusuku; kodwa amabutho akhe abaleka abuyela ekhaya.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Solami ki Saili, pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻi he poʻuli, mo ne teʻia ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
22 Kuze kube lamhla abase-Edomi balokhu behlamukela uJuda. ULibhina laye wahlamuka ngalesosikhathi.
Ka kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia.
23 Okunye ngombuso langezehlakalo zikaJehoramu, lakho konke okunye akwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
24 UJehoramu waya kwabaphansi, wangcwatshwa laboyise eMzini kaDavida. Ngakho u-Ahaziya indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solami ki heʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
25 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
26 U-Ahaziya waqalisa ukubusa eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okomnyaka owodwa. Unina wayengu-Athaliya, umntanomntanakhe ka-Omri inkosi yako-Israyeli.
Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻa ʻAhasia ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAtalia, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Omili ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
27 Wahamba ngenyathelo labendlu ka-Ahabi wona phambi kukaThixo, njengokwakwenziwe ngabendlu ka-Ahabi, ngoba wayeyisihlobo sabo ngokuthatha.
Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, mo ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he ko e foha ia ʻi he fono ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi.
28 U-Ahaziya waya empini loJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi besilwa loHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu eRamothi Giliyadi. Ama-Aramu alimaza uJoramu,
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki he tau naʻe fai kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati; pea naʻe lavea ʻa Solami ʻi he kakai Silia.
29 ngakho inkosi uJoramu yabuyela eJezerili ukuthi iyekwelatshwa amanxeba lapho eyayilinyazwe khona ngama-Aramu eRama ekulweni kwayo loHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu. Ngakho u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda wehla wayabona uJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi, njengoba wayeselimele.
Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Solami ki Sesilili ke fakamoʻui ʻa hono ngaahi lavea ʻaia naʻe lavea ai ia ʻi he kakai Silia ʻi Lama, ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ke mamata kia Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ʻi Sesilili, ko e meʻa ʻi hono lavea.
