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.
Na odiyifo Elisa afrɛ adiyifo no mu baako afi adiyifokuw no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Siesie wo ho, na kɔ Ramot-Gilead. Fa saa toa a ngo wɔ mu yi ka wo ho kɔ.
2 Ekufikeni kwakho khonale, ubodinga uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi, indodana kaNimishi. Ufike umthathe, umsuse kubangane bakhe ubusumngenisa endlini engaphakathi.
Hwehwɛ Yehosafat babarima Yehu a ɔyɛ Nimsi nena no. Frɛ no fi ne nnamfo mu, na fa no kɔ pia mu,
3 Ube usuthatha iqhagana lamafutha uwathele ekhanda lakhe, ube usubika uthi, ‘Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Ngikugcoba ubukhosi bako-Israyeli.’ Ube usuvula umnyango ubaleke; ungabophuza!”
na hwie ngo no gu ne tirim. Ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Meresra wo ngo, ama woabedi Israel so hene.’ Afei, bue ɔpon no na guan, nsɛe bere!”
4 Ngakho ijaha leli, umphrofethi, waya eRamothi Giliyadi.
Enti odiyifo kumaa no kɔɔ Ramot-Gilead.
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.”
Oduu hɔ no, ohuu Yehu sɛ ɔne asraafo mpanyimfo bi reyɛ nhyiamu. Ɔkae se, “Ɔsahene, mewɔ nkra bi de ma wo.” Yehu bisae se, “Yɛn mu hena?” Obuae se, “Wo a woyɛ ɔsahene no.”
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.
Enti Yehu gyaw wɔn a aka no hɔ, kɔɔ fie. Na odiyifo kumaa no hwiee ngo no guu Yehu tirim, kae se, “Sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se ni: Mesra wo ngo sɛ di Awurade nkurɔfo Israelfo so hene.
7 Kumele ubhubhise indlu ka-Ahabi inkosi yakho, njalo ngizaphindisela igazi lezinceku zami abaphrofethi kanye legazi lezinceku zikaThixo zonke elachithwa nguJezebheli.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wosɛe Ahab, wo wura no, fi. Saa ɔkwan no so na mɛfa atua mʼadiyifo a wokunkum wɔn ne Awurade asomfo no nyinaa a Isebel kunkum wɔn no so ka.
8 Indlu ka-Ahabi izabhujiswa. Ngizaqeda ko-Ahabi bonke abesilisa ko-Israyeli, isigqili loba okhululekileyo.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpepa Ahabfifo nyinaa fi hɔ—ɔbarima biara, ɔsomfo ne nea ɔde ne ho nyinaa a wɔwɔ Israel.
9 Indlu ka-Ahabi ngizayenza lokhu engakwenza ekaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi kanye lokwenzakala endlini kaBhasha indodana ka-Ahija.
Mɛsɛe Ahab fi, sɛnea mesɛee Nebat babarima Yeroboam ne Ahiya babarima Baasa afi no.
10 UJezebheli, yena uzadliwa yizinja elizweni laseJezerili; kayikungcwatshwa muntu.’” Wasevula umnyango, wabaleka.
Na akraman bɛwe Isebel nam wɔ Yesreel asase so, na obiara rensie no.” Afei, odiyifo kumaa no buee pon no, tuu mmirika guanee.
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.”
Yehu san kɔɔ ne nkurɔfo mpanyimfo no nkyɛn. Wɔn mu baako bisaa no se, “Dɛn na damfo a ne ti asɛe no rehwehwɛ? Biribiara kɔ yiye ana?” Yehu buae se, “Wo ara wunim sɛnea ɔbarima no keka ne nsɛm fa.”
12 Abalawuli basebesithi, “Kakusilo iqiniso lokho! Sitshele.” UJehu wathi, “Nanku angitshele khona: ‘Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Ngiyakugcoba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli.’”
Wɔn nyinaa kae se, “Woboa. Ka nokware.” Enti Yehu kae se, odiyifo no ayi akyerɛ no se Awurade asra no ngo sɛ ommedi Israel so hene.
13 Baphanga bathatha izembatho zabo bazendlala ezinyaweni zakhe ezikhwelweni. Bavuthela icilongo bamemeza besithi, “UJehu useyinkosi!”
Wɔde wɔn ntade sesɛw atrapoe no so ntɛm ara, hyɛn torobɛnto, teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yehu yɛ ɔhene.”
14 Ngakho uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi, indodana kaNimishi wavukela uJoramu. (UJoramu labo bonke abako-Israyeli babevikela iRamothi Giliyadi kuHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu,
Enti Yehosafat babarima Yehu a ɔyɛ Nimsi nena pam ɔhene Yoram ti so. Afei, na Yoram de ne ho akɔbɔ asraafo wɔ Ramot-Gilead a na wogyina de tia Aramhene Hasael asraafo no.
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.”
Nanso na wɔapira Yoram wɔ ɔko no mu, ama wasan aba Yesreel sɛ ɔrebɛsa ne ho yare. Enti Yehu ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔka ne ho no se, “Esiane sɛ mopɛ sɛ midi hene no nti, obiara nnguan nkɔ Yesreel nkɔka nea yɛayɛ wɔ hɔ no.”
16 Wasekhwela enqoleni yakhe yokulwa waya eJezerili, ngoba uJoramu wayephumulela khonale njalo u-Ahaziya inkosi yakoJuda wayehlele khona ukuba ayembona.
Na Yehu kɔtenaa teaseɛnam mu, kɔɔ Yesreel kɔhwehwɛɛ ɔhene Yoram a na wapira da hɔ no. Na Yudahene Ahasia nso wɔ hɔ bi.
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?’”
Ɔwɛmfo a na ɔwɔ Yesreel abantenten so no huu Yehu ne ne nkurɔfo sɛ wɔreba nti, ɔteɛɛ mu guu Yoram so se, “Mihu sɛ asraafo reba. Soma ɔpɔnkɔkafo bi, na ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ wɔreba no asomdwoe so ana.” Ɔhene Yoram nso teɛɛ mu.
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.”
Enti ɔpɔnkɔkafo no kohyiaa Yehu bisaa no se, “Ɔhene pɛ sɛ ohu sɛ moreba no asomdwoe so ana?” Yehu buae se, “Wuhia asomdwoe de ayɛ dɛn? Di mʼakyi!” Ɔwɛmfo no frɛɛ ɔhene se, “Ɔpɔnkɔkafo no ahyia wɔn, nanso ɔmma.”
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.”
Enti ɔhene no somaa ɔpɔnkɔkafo a ɔto so abien. Okoduu wɔn nkyɛn bisae se, “Ɔhene pɛ sɛ ohu sɛ moreba no asomdwoe so ana?” Bio, Yehu bisae se, “Wuhia asomdwoe de ayɛ dɛn Di mʼakyi!”
20 Umlindi wabika wathi: “Usefikile kubo, kodwa kukhanya kaphenduki. Ugijima sengathi nguJehu indodana kaNimishi njalo utshayela sengathi luhlanya.”
Ɔwɛmfo no teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔpɔnkɔkafo no ahyia wɔn, nanso ɔno nso mma. Ɛbɛyɛ Nimsi babarima Yehu a ɔka ɔpɔnkɔ mmirikatɛntɛ so no.”
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.
Ɔhene Yoram hyɛe se, “Ntɛm, monyɛ me teaseɛnam no krado mma me.” Na Israelhene Yoram ne Yudahene Ahasia tenatenaa wɔn nteaseɛnam mu kohyiaa Yehu. Wohyiaa no wɔ asase a na ɛyɛ Nabot, Yesreelni dea no so.
22 UJoramu uthe ebona uJehu wambuza wathi, “Uza ngokuthula na, Jehu?” UJehu wathi, “Kambe kungaba lokuthula njani khona kugcwele izithombe lobuthakathi bukanyoko uJezebheli na?”
Ɔhene Yoram bisae se, “Wobaa no asomdwoe so ana, Yehu?” Yehu buae se, “Mpɛn dodow a wo na Isebel abosom ne ne bayi atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na maba no asomdwoe so?”
23 UJoramu wafulathela wabaleka, ememezela ku-Ahaziya esithi, “Umvukela, Ahaziya!”
Ɛnna ɔhene Yoram twee ne teaseɛnam pɔnkɔ no hama, de dan ɔpɔnkɔ no ani, guanee a ɔreteɛteɛ mu se, “Ɔmammɔfo Ahasia!”
24 UJehu wakhokha umtshoko wakhe waciba uJoramu esiphangeni ngomtshoko wakhe. Umtshoko wahle wangena enhliziyweni yakhe yena wathi votshololo enqoleni yakhe yokulwa.
Na Yehu twee nʼagyan tow wɔɔ Yoram mmati ntam. Agyan no hwirew ne koma mu ma ɔtew hwee wɔ ne teaseɛnam no mu, wui.
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,
Yehu ka kyerɛɛ ne kunini Bidkar se, “Tow no kyene Nabot, Yesreelni no asase no so. Wokae bere a na yɛtete nteaseɛnam mu, di nʼagya Ahab akyi no? Awurade kae se,
26 ‘Izolo ngibone igazi likaNabhothi lelamadodana akhe, kutsho uThixo, ngeqiniso ngizakwenza ulihlawulele kulesisivande, kutsho uThixo.’ Ngakho umthathe, uyemphosela ensimini leyana, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.”
‘Meka ntam, di nsew sɛ, metua no so ka wɔ Nabot agyapade mu ha, sɛnea Awurade se ni,’ sɛ okum Nabot ne ne mmabarima nnɛra a mihuu no. Enti tow no kyene Nabot asase so ha, sɛnea Awurade kae no.”
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.
Bere a Yudahene Ahasia huu asɛm a asi no, oguan kɔɔ Bet-Hagan. Yehu taa no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Munkum ɔno nso bi.” Enti wɔtow Ahasia agyan wɔɔ no wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu wɔ Gur atrapoe a ɛbɛn Yibleam. Otumi kɔe ara koduu Megido, na owui wɔ hɔ.
28 Izinceku zakhe zamthwala ngenqola yokulwa zamusa eJerusalema zayamngcwaba laboyise ethuneni lakhe eMzini kaDavida.
Ne mpanyimfo de no too teaseɛnam mu, kɔɔ Yerusalem kosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
29 (Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi, u-Ahaziya waba yinkosi yakoJuda.)
Na Ahasia dii ade wɔ Yuda no, na Israelhene Yoram nso adi ade mfe dubaako.
30 Ngakho uJehu waya eJezerili. UJezebheli wathi ekuzwa lokho, wazicomba ngesibhuda emehlweni weluka inwele zakhe waselunguza ngefasitela.
Bere a ɔhemmea Isebel tee sɛ Yehu aba Yesreel no, ɔkekaa nʼanintɔn, yɛɛ ne ti fɛfɛɛfɛ, tɛw mfɛnsere mu.
31 UJehu uthe engena esangweni, wambuza wathi, “Uza ngokuthula na, Zimri, wena mbulali wenkosi yakho?”
Bere a Yehu wuraa ahemfi pon no mu no, ɔhemmea no teɛɛ mu guu ne so se, “Owudifo, wobaa no asomdwoe so ana? Wote sɛ Simri a okum ne wura no.”
32 Yena wakhangela phezulu ewindini wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongakimi na? Ngubani?” Abathenwa ababili loba abathathu bakhangela phansi kuye.
Yehu pagyaw nʼani huu no wɔ mfɛnsere no mu teɛɛ mu se, “Hena na ɔwɔ mʼafa!” Na piamfo baanu anaa baasa hwɛɛ no.
33 UJehu wathi, “Msakazeleni phansi!” Ngakho basebemsakazela phansi, elinye igazi lakhe lachaphakela emdulini lasemabhizeni ayesegidagida emnyathela ngamasondo.
Yehu teɛɛ mu se, “Montow no nkyene fam.” Enti wɔtow no fii mfɛnsere no mu, maa ne mogya bi bɔ petee ɔfasu no ne nʼapɔnkɔ ho. Na Yehu maa nʼapɔnkɔ tiatiaa nʼamu no so.
34 UJehu wangena wafika wadla njalo wanatha. Wathi, “Ake limthathe lo owesifazane oqalekisiweyo liyemngcwaba, ngoba eyindodakazi yenkosi.”
Na Yehu kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ kodidi, nomee. Akyiri no, ɔkae se, “Monkɔ nkosie ɔbea a wɔadome no yi, efisɛ ɔyɛ ɔhene babea.”
35 Kodwa bathe sebethi bayathatha isidumbu bathola sekusele ikhanda lenyawo lezandla kuphela.
Nanso wɔkɔɔ sɛ wɔrekosie no no, ne ti ne nan ne ne nsa nko ara na wohui.
36 Babuyela bayatshela uJehu yena owathi, “Leli yilizwi likaThixo alikhuluma ngenceku yakhe u-Elija umThishibi lisithi: Esiqintini esiseJezerili izinja zizakudla inyama kaJezebheli,
Bere a wɔbɛbɔɔ Yehu amanneɛ no, ɔkae se, “Eyi ne Awurade asɛm a ɔnam ne somfo Tisbini Elia so kae se, ‘Asasetam bi a ɛda Yesreel no so na akraman bɛwe Isebel nam no.
37 lesidumbu sikaJezebheli sizakuba njengobulongwe emhlabathini elizweni laseJezerili ukuze kungabi lozakuthi, ‘Lo nguJezebheli.’”
Na nʼamu bɛbɔ apete, te sɛ wura wɔ Yesreel pɔw mu a ne saa nti, obiara ntumi nhu no.’”
