2 Amakhosi 9
1 Umphrofethi u-Elisha wabiza enye indoda exukwini labaphrofethi wathi kuyo, “Khwica isembatho sakho ebhantini ubusuthatha iqhagana lamafutha leli, uye eRamothi Giliyadi.
A KAHEA aku la o Elisai ke kaula i kekahi o na haumana a ka poe kaula, i aku la ia ia, E kaei oe i kou puhaka, a lawe i keia hue aila ma kou lima, a e hele aku i Ramota-Gileada.
2 Ekufikeni kwakho khonale, ubodinga uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi, indodana kaNimishi. Ufike umthathe, umsuse kubangane bakhe ubusumngenisa endlini engaphakathi.
A hiki oe ilaila, e imi aku oe ilaila ia Iehu, ko keiki a Iehosapata, ke keiki a Nimesi, a komo aku oe, a hooku ia ia mai waena mai o kona poe hoahanau, a hookomo ia ia i ke keena maloko.
3 Ube usuthatha iqhagana lamafutha uwathele ekhanda lakhe, ube usubika uthi, ‘Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Ngikugcoba ubukhosi bako-Israyeli.’ Ube usuvula umnyango ubaleke; ungabophuza!”
Alaila e lawe oe i ka hue aila, a e ninini maluna o kona poo, a e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela. Alaila e wehe ae oe i ka puka, a holo aku, mai kali oe.
4 Ngakho ijaha leli, umphrofethi, waya eRamothi Giliyadi.
A hele aku la ke kanaka ui i Ramota-Gileada, he kaula hoi ua kanaka ui la.
5 Ekufikeni kwakhe khonale wafica izikhulu zebutho zihlezi ndawonye, wasesithi kuzo, “Mlawuli, ngilombiko kuwe.” UJehu wabuza wathi, “Ngokabani phakathi kwethu?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Ngowakho mlawuli webutho.”
A hiki aku ia, aia hoi, e noho ana na luna o ke kaua; i aku la ia, Ho wahi olelo ka'u ia oe, e ka luna. I mai la o Iehu, Ia wai o makou a pau? I aku la ia, Ia oe, e ka luna.
6 UJehu wasukuma wangena endlini. Umphrofethi wathela amafutha ekhanda likaJehu wasebika ukuthi, “Ilizwi likaThixo uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli lithi: ‘Ngigcoba wena ukuba ube yinkosi phezu kwabantu bakaThixo, u-Israyeli.
Ku ae la ia a komo iloko o ka hale; a ninini iho la ia i ka aila maluna o kona poo. a i aku la ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o na kanaka o Iehova, maluna o ka Iseraela.
7 Kumele ubhubhise indlu ka-Ahabi inkosi yakho, njalo ngizaphindisela igazi lezinceku zami abaphrofethi kanye legazi lezinceku zikaThixo zonke elachithwa nguJezebheli.
A e pepehi aku oe i ko ka hale o Ahaba kou haku, i hoopai aku ai au i ko koko o ka'u poe kauwa, o na kaula, a me ke koko o na kauwa a pau a Iehova ma ka lima o Iezebela.
8 Indlu ka-Ahabi izabhujiswa. Ngizaqeda ko-Ahabi bonke abesilisa ko-Israyeli, isigqili loba okhululekileyo.
A e pau auanei ko ka hale a pau o Ahaba; a oki aku au i na kane a pau no Ahaba, a o ka mea i paa, a me ka mea i paa ole iloko o ka Iseraela.
9 Indlu ka-Ahabi ngizayenza lokhu engakwenza ekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi kanye lokwenzakala endlini kaBhasha indodana ka-Ahija.
A e hana like aku au i ko ka hale o Ahaba me ko ka hale o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a me ko ka hale o Baasa, ke keiki a Ahiia.
10 UJezebheli, yena uzadliwa yizinja elizweni laseJezerili; kayikungcwatshwa muntu.’” Wasevula umnyango, wabaleka.
A e ai na ilio ia Iezebela ma ka aina i Iezereela, aohe mea nana ia e kanu. A wehe ae la ia i ka puka, a holo aku la.
11 UJehu uthe ephuma lapho esebuyele kwabanye abalawuli, omunye wabo wambuza wathi, “Kulungile konke na? Uhlanya lolu lube luzofunani kuwe?” UJehu wathi, “Liyamazi umuntu lo kanye lezinto azikhulumayo.”
Alaila puka iwaho o Iehu i na kauwa a kona haku, a ninau mai kekahi ia ia, He pono anei? No ke aha la i hele mai ai keia hehena i ou la? I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike oukou i ke kanaka, a me kana olelo.
12 Abalawuli basebesithi, “Kakusilo iqiniso lokho! Sitshele.” UJehu wathi, “Nanku angitshele khona: ‘Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Ngiyakugcoba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli.’”
I aku la lakou ia ia, He wahahee; e hai mai oe ia makou ano. I mai la ia, Me neia, me neia kana i olelo mai ai ia'u, i mai la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
13 Baphanga bathatha izembatho zabo bazendlala ezinyaweni zakhe ezikhwelweni. Bavuthela icilongo bamemeza besithi, “UJehu useyinkosi!”
Alaila wikiwiki lakou, a lawe ae la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aahu, a waiho malalo iho ona maluna o ke alapii, a puhi i na pu, i aku la, E alii ana o Iehu.
14 Ngakho uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi, indodana kaNimishi wavukela uJoramu. (UJoramu labo bonke abako-Israyeli babevikela iRamothi Giliyadi kuHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu,
A kipi iho la o Iehu ke keiki a Iehosapata, ke keiki a Nimesi, ia Iorama. (A o Iorama e kiai ana ia ma Ramota-Gileada, oia, a me ka Iseraela a pau, no Hazaela ke alii o Suria.
15 kodwa inkosi uJoramu yayisibuyele eJezerili ukuze yelatshwe amanxeba okulinyazwa ekulweni lama-Aramu kulwiwa loHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu.) UJehu wathi, “Nxa lifuna lokho, akungabikho loyedwa ozaphuma emzini ukuba ayefikisa ilizwi eJezerili.”
A ua hoi aku o Iorama ke alii ma Iezereela e hoolaia i kona eha a ko Suria i hana eha ai ia ia, i kona manawa i kaua aku ai ia Hazaela ke alii o Suria.) A i aku la o Iehu, Ina oukou e manao, mai puka aku e pakele kekahi mai ke kulanakauhale aku e hele ia e hai aku ma Iezereela.
16 Wasekhwela enqoleni yakhe yokulwa waya eJezerili, ngoba uJoramu wayephumulela khonale njalo u-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda wayehlele khona ukuba ayembona.
A holo aku la o Iehu ma ka halekaa, a hele aku la i Iezereela; no ka mea, e waiho ana o Iorama malaila. A ua iho mai o Ahazia, ke alii o ka Iuda, e ike ia Iorama.
17 Umlindi owayemi emphotshongweni eJezerili wathi ebona amabutho kaJehu esiza, wamemeza esithi, “Ngibona impi ezayo.” UJoramu wathi, “Thumela umgadi webhiza abahlangabeze ayebabuza ukuthi, ‘Liza ngokuthula na?’”
A e ku ana ke kanaka kiai maluna o ka hale kiai ma Iezereela, a ike aku la ia i ka poe nui o Iehu i kona hele ana mai, i aku la ia, Ke ike nei au i ka poe nui. I mai la o Iorama, e lawe oe i ka hooholelio, a e hoouna aku e halawai me lakou, a e ninau aku ia, He aloha anei?
18 Umgadi webhiza wasuka wayahlangabeza uJehu wathi, “Inkosi ingithume ukuba ngibuze ngisithi, ‘Uza ngokuthula na?’” UJehu waphendula wathi, “Ulani lakho ukuthula na? Ngena ngemva kwami.” Umlindi wabika wathi, “Isithunywa sesifikile kubo, kodwa kasiphenduki.”
A holo aku la kekahi maluna o ka lio e halawai me ia, a i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, He aloha anei? I aku la o Iehu, Heaha kau i ke aloha? e huli ae oe mahope o'u. A hai aku la ke kanaka kiai, i aku la, Hele aku la ke elele io lakou la, aole i hoi hou mai.
19 Ngakho inkosi yathuma umgadi webhiza wesibili. Esefikile kubo wathi, “Inkosi ithi: ‘Liza ngokuthula na?’” UJehu waphendula wathi, “Ulani lakho ukuthula na? Ngena ngemva kwami.”
A hoouna hou aku la ia i ka lua maluna o ka lio a hiki aku la ia io lakou la, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, He aloha anei? I aku la o Iehu, Heaha kau i ke aloha? E huli ae oe mahope o'u.
20 Umlindi wabika wathi: “Usefikile kubo, kodwa kukhanya kaphenduki. Ugijima sengathi nguJehu indodana kaNimishi njalo utshayela sengathi luhlanya.”
A hai aku la ke kiai, i aku la, Ua hele aku ia io lakou la, aole i hoi hou mai; a o ka holo ana, ua like me ka holo ana o Iehu ke keiki a Nimesi, no ka mea, ke holo la ia e like me ka hehena huhu.
21 UJoramu wakhwaza wathi, “Bophani inqola yami yokulwa.” Inqola yokulwa ithe isilungisiwe, uJoramu inkosi yako-Israyeli kanye lo-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda bagada, basuka omunye ekweyakhe inqola yokulwa lomunye laye ekweyakhe, behlangabeza uJehu. Bahlangana laye esivandeni sesiqinti esasikade singesikaNabhothi umJezerili.
I aku o Iorama, E hoomakaukau; a hoomakaukauia iho la kona halekaa. A hele aku la o Iorama ke alii o ka Iseraela, a o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, o kela keia ma kona halekaa iho, a hele aku e halawai me Iehu, a loaa ia lakou ia ma ka aina o Nabota no Iezereela.
22 UJoramu uthe ebona uJehu wambuza wathi, “Uza ngokuthula na, Jehu?” UJehu wathi, “Kambe kungaba lokuthula njani khona kugcwele izithombe lobuthakathi bukanyoko uJezebheli na?”
A i ka manawa i ike ai o Iorama ia Iehu, i aku la ia, He aloha anei, e Iehu? Ninau mai la ia, Heaha ke aloha i ka manawa i nui loa ai na hoomanakii o Iezebela kou makuwahine, a me ka anaana ana?
23 UJoramu wafulathela wabaleka, ememezela ku-Ahaziya esithi, “Umvukela, Ahaziya!”
A huli ae la o Iorama, a holo aku la, a i aku la ia Ahazia, He kipi, e Ahazia.
24 UJehu wakhokha umtshoko wakhe waciba uJoramu esiphangeni ngomtshoko wakhe. Umtshoko wahle wangena enhliziyweni yakhe yena wathi votshololo enqoleni yakhe yokulwa.
A lawe o Iehu i ke kikoo ma kona lima, a pana aku la ia Iorama mawaena o kona mau lima, a puka aku la ka pua ma kona puuwai, a haule iho la ia maloko o kona halekaa.
25 UJehu wathi kuBhidikhari, owayeyisikhulu sakhe sezinqola zokulwa, “Dobha isidumbu sakhe uyesiphosela ensimini eyayingekaNabhothi umJezerili. Uyakhumbula mhla sasigadile sobabili enqoleni yokulwa ngemva kuka-Ahabi uyise mhla uThixo enza lesisiphrofethi ngaye esithi,
Alaila i aku la oia ia Bidekara i kona luna, E kaikai, a hoolei aku ia ia iloko o ka aina kihapai o Nabota no Iezereela; no ka mea, e hoomanao oe i ka wa a kaua elua i holo pu ai, mamuli o Ahaba kona makuakane, ua kau mai o Iehova i keia mea kaumaha maluna iho ona.
26 ‘Izolo ngibone igazi likaNabhothi lelamadodana akhe, kutsho uThixo, ngeqiniso ngizakwenza ulihlawulele kulesisivande, kutsho uThixo.’ Ngakho umthathe, uyemphosela ensimini leyana, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.”
Ua ike io no au inehinei i ke koko o Nabota, a me ke koko o kana mau keiki, wahi a Iehova; a e hoopai aka au ia oe ma keia aina, wahi a Iehova. Ano hoi, e lawe, a e hoolei aku ia ia iloko o ua aina la, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
27 U-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda esebone lokhu okwakwenzakele wabaleka wahamba ngomgwaqo esiya eBhethi-Hagani. UJehu waxotshana laye ememeza esithi, “Mbulaleni laye!” Bamlimaza enqoleni yakhe yokulwa endleleni yokuya eGuri phansi kwe-Ibhiliyami, kodwa wabaleka waya eMegido lapho ayafela khona.
A ike aku la o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, alaila holo aku la ia ma ke ala o ka hale ma ke kihapai. A hahai aku la o Iehu mahope ona, a i aku la ia, E pepehi aku ia ia hoi ma ka halekaa i ka pii ana ma Gura, e kokoke ana i Ibeleama. A holo aku la ia i Megido, a make iho la ilaila.
28 Izinceku zakhe zamthwala ngenqola yokulwa zamusa eJerusalema zayamngcwaba laboyise ethuneni lakhe eMzini kaDavida.
A lawe aku la kana poe kauwa ia ia maloko o ka halekaa i Ierusalema, a kanu iho la ia ia iloko o ka halelua me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
29 (Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi, u-Ahaziya waba yinkosi yakoJuda.)
I ka umikumamakahi o ka makahiki o Iorama ke keiki a Ahaba, hoomaka iho la o Ahazia e noho alii maluna o ka Iuda.
30 Ngakho uJehu waya eJezerili. UJezebheli wathi ekuzwa lokho, wazicomba ngesibhuda emehlweni weluka inwele zakhe waselunguza ngefasitela.
A hiki aku la o Iehu i Iezereela, lohe ae la o Iezebela; a pena iho la ia i kona maka, a hooponopono i kona poo, a nana mai la ma ka pukamakani.
31 UJehu uthe engena esangweni, wambuza wathi, “Uza ngokuthula na, Zimri, wena mbulali wenkosi yakho?”
A komo aku la o Iehu ma ka pukapa, ninau mai la keia, I maluhia anei o Zimeri, nana i pepehi kona haku?
32 Yena wakhangela phezulu ewindini wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongakimi na? Ngubani?” Abathenwa ababili loba abathathu bakhangela phansi kuye.
A nana aku la ia iluna ma ka pukamakani, i aku la, Owai ka mea ma o'u nei? Owai? A nana mai la ia ia elua a ekolu paha mau luna hale.
33 UJehu wathi, “Msakazeleni phansi!” Ngakho basebemsakazela phansi, elinye igazi lakhe lachaphakela emdulini lasemabhizeni ayesegidagida emnyathela ngamasondo.
I aku la ia, E hoolei mai ia ia ilalo. A hoolei iho la lakou ia ia ilalo, a helelei iho kekahi o kona koko ma ka papohaku, a maluna o na lio: a hehiia iho la ia malalo o na wawae.
34 UJehu wangena wafika wadla njalo wanatha. Wathi, “Ake limthathe lo owesifazane oqalekisiweyo liyemngcwaba, ngoba eyindodakazi yenkosi.”
A komo aku la ia maloko, a ai iho la ia, a inu hoi, a i aku la, E hele, e nana aku ano i keia mea i hoinoia, a e kanu aku ia ia, no ka mea, he kaikamahine ia a kekahi alii.
35 Kodwa bathe sebethi bayathatha isidumbu bathola sekusele ikhanda lenyawo lezandla kuphela.
A hele aku la lakou e kanu ia ia, aole i loaa ia lakou kekahi mea ona, o ka puniu wale no, a me na wawae, a me na poho lima.
36 Babuyela bayatshela uJehu yena owathi, “Leli yilizwi likaThixo alikhuluma ngenceku yakhe u-Elija umThishibi lisithi: Esiqintini esiseJezerili izinja zizakudla inyama kaJezebheli,
No ia mea, hoi mai lakou, hai aku ia ia. I mai la ia, O keia ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai, ma kana kauwa, ma Elia no Tiseba, i ka i ana'e, Ma ka aina i Iezereela e ai iho ai na ilio i ka io o Iezebela.
37 lesidumbu sikaJezebheli sizakuba njengobulongwe emhlabathini elizweni laseJezerili ukuze kungabi lozakuthi, ‘Lo nguJezebheli.’”
A e like auanei ke kupapau o Iezebela me ka lepo maluna o ke kula o ka aina i Iezereela; nolaila, aole lakou e olelo ae, O Iezebela keia.
