2 Amakhosi 1
1 Ngemva kokufa kuka-Ahabi, amaMowabi ahlamukela u-Israyeli.
ʻI he hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Moape ki ʻIsileli.
2 U-Ahaziya wayewele embotsheni yendlu yakhe engaphezulu eSamariya walimala. Wathumela izithunywa, wathi kuzo, “Hambani liyebuza kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, ukuthi kambe ngizasila yini kulokhu kulimala na.”
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa ʻAhasia mei he kātupa ʻi hono potu fale ki ʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Samēlia, pea ne mahakiʻia ai: pea naʻa ne kouna atu ha kau talafekau, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, pea te u moʻui mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai.”
3 Kodwa ingilosi kaThixo yathi ku-Elija umThishibi, “Suka uyehlangabeza izithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya uyezibuza ukuthi, ‘Kambe yikuthi akuselaNkulunkulu ko-Israyeli na ukuze uyehlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni?’
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, “Tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻalu hake ke fetaulaki mo e kau talafekau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Samēlia, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni?’
4 Ngakho uThixo uthi: ‘Awuyikusuka kulowombheda ogulela kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!’”
Ko ia foki ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā.
5 Ekubuyeleni kwezithunywa enkosini, yazibuza yathi, “Kungani selibuyile na?”
Pea ʻi he liliu atu kiate ia ʻae kau talafekau, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā eni kuo mou foki ai?”
6 Izithunywa zaphendula zathi, “Kulendoda esihlangabezileyo yathi kithi, ‘Buyelani enkosini elithumileyo liyeyitshela ukuthi, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Kungenxa yokuthi akulaNkulunkulu yini ko-Israyeli okubangele ukuthi uthumele abantu ukuyahlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu we-Ekroni na? Ngakho awuyikuvuka kulowombheda olele kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!”’”
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kimautolu, ‘Mou ʻalu, ʻo toe foki atu ki he tuʻi ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi kimoutolu, pea tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻikai ʻapē ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli kuo ke fekau ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
7 Inkosi yabuza izithunywa yathi, “Ngumuntu onjani lowo olihlangabezileyo waselitshela lokhu?”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe matamata fēfē ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimoutolu, mo ne leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kimoutolu?”
8 Izithunywa zaphendula zathi, “Yindoda ebigqoke isigqoko soboya ekhalweni ibophe ngozwezwe.” Inkosi yathi, “Lowo ngu-Elija umThishibi.”
Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e tangata fulufulu ia, pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻotanga kiliʻi manu ʻi hono kongaloto.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tā ko ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa.”
9 Inkosi yasithumela ku-Elija induna yebutho labantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yebutho yakhwela yaya ku-Elija, owayehlezi phezu koqaqa, yafika yathi kuye, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ithi, ‘Yehla!’”
Pea naʻe toki fekau atu kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ha ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate ia: pea vakai, naʻa ne nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga. Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo.’”
10 U-Elija ephendula induna yebutho wathi, “Nxa ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, kakwehle umlilo ovela ezulwini ukuqothule wena kanye labantu bakho abangamatshumi amahlanu!” Lakanye wehla umlilo uvela ezulwini wayiqothula induna yebutho kanye labantu bayo.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange ki he ʻeiki ʻoe toko nimangofulu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
11 Ngokubona lokho inkosi yathuma ku-Elija eyinye induna yebutho lamanye amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yathi ku-Elija, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ithi, ‘Yehla khathesi.’”
Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu kiate ia ha ʻeiki kehe ʻe tokotaha mo ʻene toko nimangofulu, Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo ke vave.’”
12 U-Elija waphendula wathi, “Nxa ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, kakwehle umlilo ovela ezulwini ukuqothule wena kanye labantu bakho!” Ngakho umlilo kaNkulunkulu wehla uvela ezulwini waqothula izinduna zamabutho ezakuqala zombili kanye labo bonke abantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he ʻOtua mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
13 Ngakho inkosi yathuma induna yebutho yesithathu labantu bayo abangamatshumi amahlanu. Induna yebutho yesithathu yakhwela yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka-Elija yamncenga yathi, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, akube lesihawu ngempilo yami leyamadoda la angamatshumi amahlanu, thina sizinceku zakho!
Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu ha ʻeiki mo hono tolu ʻoe toko nimangofulu, ʻaia mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono toko tolu ʻoe ʻeiki [naʻe pule ki ]he toko nimangofulu, pea naʻa ne hoko ange mo ne tō ʻo tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIlaisiā, mo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mahuʻinga ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni ʻe toko nimangofulu.
14 Angithi uyabona, umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini waqothula izinduna zamabutho lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu induna nganye. Kodwa manje akunakekele impilo yami!”
Vakai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻae afi, pea vela ai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ongo ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi muʻaki toko nimangofulu, pea mo ʻena toko nimangofulu: ko ia tuku eni ke mahuʻinga ʻa ʻeku moʻui ʻi ho ʻao.”
15 Ingilosi kaThixo yathi ku-Elija, “Yehla kanye layo induna; ungayesabi.” Ngakho u-Elija wasukuma wehla kanye lenduna waya enkosini.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo mo ia: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu hifo mo ia ki he tuʻi.
16 Wasesithi enkosini, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: Kungenxa yokuthi akulaNkulunkulu yini ko-Israyeli ukuze uthume izithunywa ukuthi ziyohlahlula kuBhali-Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu we-Ekroni na? Ngenxa yesenzo sakho lesi, awuyikuvuka kulowombheda olele kuwo. Ngempela uzakufa!”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke fekau atu ha kau talafekau ke fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, ko e meʻa ʻapē ʻi he ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli ke ke fakaongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te ke toe ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga na ʻaia kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
17 Lakanye wafa, njengelizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa ngu-Elija. Njengoba u-Ahaziya wayengelandodana, ubukhosi bakhe bathathwa nguJoramu owaba yinkosi ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda.
Ko ia, naʻe mate ia ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano foha.
18 Konke okwembali yokubusa kuka-Ahaziya, kanye lakwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasia ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
