1 Ngenyanga yesikhombisa u-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya, indodana ka-Elishama, owayeyinzalo yesikhosini, njalo owayengomunye wezikhulu zenkosi, waya kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami eMizipha
I KA hiku o ka malama, hiki mai la keia mau mea; o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, ke keiki a Elisama, no ka hanauna alii, a me na luna o ke alii, he umi kanaka pu me ia, hele mai la lakou ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ma Mizepa; a malaila lakou i ai pu ai i ka berena ma Mizepa.
2 lamadodana kaNethaniya lamadoda alitshumi ayelaye basukuma bamgwaza ngenkemba uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami, indodana kaShafani, bambulala lowo owayebekwe yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba ngumbusi welizwe.
Alaila, ku mai la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, a me na kanaka he umi e noho pu ana me ia, a pepehi iho la ia Gedalia i ke keiki a Ahikama, i ke keiki a Sapana i ka pahikaua, a make oia, o ka mea hoi a ke alii o Babulona i hoolilo ai i kiaaina o ia aina.
3 U-Ishumayeli wabulala lamaJuda wonke ayeloGedaliya eMizipha kanye lamabutho amaKhaladiya ayelapho.
A pepehi no hoi o Isemaela i na Iudaio a pau e noho pu ana me ia, me Gedalia hoi ma Mizepa, a me ko Kaledea i loaa ia ia malaila, o na kanaka kaua hoi.
4 Ngosuku olwalandela ukubulawa kukaGedaliya, kungakabi lamuntu owayesesazi ngakho,
A i ka lua o ka la mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, aole kanaka i ike,
5 kwafika amadoda angamatshumi ayisificaminwembili evela eShekhemu, leShilo leSamariya ayephuce indevu zawo izigqoko zawo zidabukile njalo ezisike imizimba, elethe iminikelo yamabele lempepha endlini kaThixo.
Alaila, hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka, mai Sekema, a mai Silo, a mai Samaria mai, he kanawalu lakou, ua kahi ko lakou nmiumi, ua haehaeia ko lakou aahu, ua okioki ia lakou iho: he mau mohai, a he mea ala ma ko lakou lima e lawe i ka hale o Iehova.
6 U-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya wasuka eMizipha ukuyawahlangabeza; wahamba ekhala. Ekuhlanganeni kwakhe labo wathi, “Wozani kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami.”
A hele aku la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, mai Mizepa aku, e halawai me lakou, a uwe no hoi i kona hele ana; a i kona halawai ana me lakou, i ae la ia ia lakou, E hele mai ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama.
7 Kwathi sebengene phakathi kwedolobho u-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya kanye lamadoda ayelaye, bawabulala bawaphosela emgodini.
A ia lakou i hele ai iloko o ke kulauakauhale, Pepehi aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hoolei aku la iloko o ka lua, oia, a me na kanaka pu me ia.
8 Kodwa alitshumi awo athi ku-Ishumayeli, “Ungasibulali! Silengqoloyi lebhali, lamafutha loluju, esikufihle egangeni.” Ngakho wawayekela kaze awabulala lamanye.
A loaa iwaena o lakou, he umi kanaka, i mai la lakou ia Isemaela, Mai pepehi ia makou; no ka mea, he waiwai ko makou ma ka papu, he huapalaoa, he huabale, a he aila, a he meli. Nolaila, oki iho la oia, aole i pepehi pu ia lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau.
9 Umgodi ayephosele kuwo zonke izidumbu zamadoda ayewabulele kanye loGedaliya ngowawenziwe yinkosi u-Asa kuyingxenye yokuzivikela kwakhe kuBhasha inkosi yako-Israyeli. U-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya wawugcwalisa ngezidumbu.
O ka lua, kahi o Isemaela i hoolei ai i na kupapau a pau o na kanaka ana i pepehi aku ai me Gedalia, oia ka mea a Asa ke alii i hana'i no ka makau ia Baasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela; a hoopiha iho la o Isemaela ke keiki o Netania ia wahi i ka poe i make.
10 U-Ishumayeli wabenza baba yizigqili bonke abantu ababeseMizipha kubalisa amadodakazi enkosi kanye labanye bonke ababetshiywe khona nguNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi besikhosini, owayebeke uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami ukuba ngumbusi wabo. U-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya wabathumba, wasuka ukuba achaphele kuma-Amoni.
Alaila, lawepio aku la o Isemaela i ke koena a pau o na kanaka ma Mizepa, i na kaikamahine a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau i koe ma Mizepa, ka poe a Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i haawi ai ia Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama; lawepio aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hele aku la, i hiki i ka Amona.
11 Kwathi uJohanani indodana kaKhareya kanye lezikhulu zonke zebutho ezazilaye sebezwe konke okubi okwakwenziwe ngu-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya,
A lohe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ka hewa a pau a Isemaela ke keiki a Netania i hana'i,
12 bathatha bonke abantu babo bayakulwa lo-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya. Bamfica phansi kwechibi elikhulu eGibhiyoni.
Alaila, lawe ae la ia i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la, e kaua me Isemaela, i ke keiki a Netania, a loaa oia ma na wai nui ma Gibeona.
13 Kwathi abantu bonke ababelo-Ishumayeli bebona uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zebutho ezazilaye, bathaba.
A hiki i ka manawa a na kanaka a pau me Isemaela i ike mai ai ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, alaila, olioli iho la lakou.
14 Bonke abantu u-Ishumayeli ayebathumbe eMizipha baphenduka baya kuJohanani indodana kaKhareya.
O na kanaka a pau a Isemaela i lawepio ai, huli lakou, a hoi, a hele ia Iohanana i ke keiki a Karea.
15 Kodwa u-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya labantu bakhe abayisificaminwembili baphunyuka kuJohanani babalekela kuma-Amoni.
Pakele aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania mai Iohanana aku, oia a me na kanaka ewalu i hele pu me ia i ka Amona.
16 Emva kwalokho uJohanani indodana kaKhareya, lezikhulu zonke zebutho ezazilaye, wathatha bonke abasilayo ababevele eMizipha ayebahlenge ku-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya emva kokubulala kwakhe uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami. Kwakungamabutho, labesifazane, labantwana kanye lezikhulu zasemthethwandaba ayezithethe eGibhiyoni.
Alaila, lawe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ke koena a pau o na kanaka i loaa ia ia ma Mizepa mai Isemaela mai, ke keiki a Netania mai, mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahika ma, o na kanaka kaua a me na wahine, a me na Keiki, a me ua mea i poaia, ka poe ana i lawe ae ai, mai Gibeona mai;
17 Baqhubeka bahamba, bayakuma eGeruthi Khimihami eduze leBhethilehema, besiya eGibhithe
A hele aku la lakou, a noho ma kahi noho o Kimehama, aia kokoke i Betelehema, ma ke ala e komo aku ai i Aigupita,
18 ukuba babalekele amaKhaladiya. Babewesaba ngoba u-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya wayebulele uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami owayebekwe yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba abe ngumbusi welizwe.
No ko Kaledea; no ka mea, ua makau ia lakou, no ko Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ka mea a ke alii o Babulona i hoonoho ai i kiaaina no ia aina.
