1 Amakhosi 13
1 Khangela-ke, kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu evela koJuda ngelizwi leNkosi waya eBhetheli, njalo uJerobhowamu wayemi eduze lelathi ukutshisa impepha.
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻoe ʻOtua mei Siuta ko e meʻa ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne hoko atu ki Peteli: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Selopoami ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga ke ʻatu ʻae meʻa namu kakala.
2 Wasememeza emelene lelathi ngelizwi leNkosi wathi: Lathi, lathi, itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, indodana izazalelwa indlu kaDavida, nguJosiya ibizo layo; izahlabela phezu kwakho abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo abatshisa impepha phezu kwakho, lamathambo abantu azatshiselwa phezu kwakho.
Pea naʻa ne ui ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE feilaulauʻanga, ʻe feilaulauʻanga! ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai ʻe fanauʻi ha tamasiʻi ki he fale ʻo Tevita, ko Sosaia ʻa hono hingoa; pea te ne ʻohake ʻiate koe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku tutu meʻa namu kakala ʻiate koe, pea ʻe tutu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi hui ʻoe tangata.”
3 Wasenika isibonakaliso ngalolosuku esithi: Lesi yisibonakaliso iNkosi esikhulumileyo yathi: Khangela, ilathi lizadatshulwa lomlotha ophezu kwalo uzachithwa.
Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hono fakaʻilonga eni kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova; Vakai, ʻe mahaehae ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe lilingi atu ʻae efuefu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai.”
4 Kwasekusithi inkosi isizwile ilizwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu owamemeza emelene lelathi eBhetheli, uJerobhowamu welula isandla sakhe wasisusa elathini, esithi: Mbambeni! Isandla sakhe-ke ayeselulele kuye soma, waze wehluleka ukusibuyisela kuye.
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko Selo-Poami ki he lea ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne kalanga ʻaki ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi Peteli, naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima mei he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Puke ia.” Pea ko hono nima, ʻaia naʻa ne mafao atu kiate ia, naʻe mate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa toʻo mai ia kiate ia.
5 Lelathi ladatshulwa, lomlotha wachitheka elathini, njengokwesibonakaliso umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayesinikile ngelizwi leNkosi.
Naʻe mahaehae foki ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe lilingi ʻae efuefu mei he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo fakatatau mo e fakaʻilonga ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova.
6 Inkosi yasiphendula yathi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: Ake uncenge ubuso bukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele, ukuthi isandla sami sibuyele kimi. Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasencenga ubuso bukaJehova, lesandla senkosi sabuyela kuyo, saba njengakuqala.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Fakakolekole eni ki he fofonga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ke kole koeʻuhi ko au, ke toe fakamoʻui ʻa hoku nima.” Pea naʻe kole ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe toe fakamoʻui ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene teʻeki liliu.
7 Inkosi yasisithi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: Woza lami siye ekhaya, uzivuselele, ngizakunika umvuzo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Ke ta ō mo au ki ʻapi, pea ke fakamālōlō ai, pea te u foaki ha totongi kiate koe.”
8 Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi enkosini: Loba unganginika ingxenye yendlu yakho, kangiyikuhamba lawe; kangiyikudla isinkwa, njalo kangiyikunatha amanzi kulindawo;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi, “Kapau te ke ʻomi kiate au hono vaeua ʻo ho fale, ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu mo koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u kai ha mā pe inu ha vai ʻi he potu ni;
9 ngoba ngokunjalo yangilaya ngelizwi leNkosi isithi: Ungadli isinkwa, njalo unganathi amanzi, njalo ungabuyeli ngendlela oze ngayo.
He naʻe fekauʻi au ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa kai ha mā, pe inu ha vai, pe te ke toe liliu mai ʻi he hala naʻa ke ʻalu ai.”
10 Ngakho wahamba ngenye indlela, kabuyelanga ngendlela oweza ngayo eBhetheli.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai ʻi he hala kehe, ʻo ʻikai [te ne ]liliu atu ʻi he hala naʻa ne haʻu ai ki Peteli.
11 Kwakuhlala-ke umprofethi othile omdala eBhetheli. Amadodana akhe eza amtshela sonke isenzo umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayesenzile mhlalokho eBhetheli; amazwi ayewakhulume enkosini, lawo awatshela uyise.
Ka ko eni, naʻe ai ha motuʻa palōfita naʻe nofo ʻi Peteli; pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻa hono ngaahi foha ʻo tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi Peteli: ko e ngaahi lea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ki he tuʻi, naʻa nau fakahā ia foki ki heʻenau tamai.
12 Uyise wasesithi kiwo: Uhambe ngayiphi indlela? Ngoba amadodana akhe ayebonile indlela umuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevele koJuda ahambe ngayo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻenau tamai kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala fē?” He kuo mamata ʻe hono ngaahi foha ki he hala naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta.
13 Wasesithi emadodaneni akhe: Ngibophelelani isihlalo kubabhemi. Basebembophelela isihlalo kubabhemi, wasegada kuye.
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻAi ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi. Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, pea naʻa ne heka ki ai,
14 Wasemlandela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamfica ehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, wathi kuye: Nguwe umuntu kaNkulunkulu ovele koJuda yini? Wasesithi: Yimi.
Pea ne muimui ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻa ne maʻu atu ia lolotonga ʻene nofo ʻi he lolo ʻoke: pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ia ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ko au.”
15 Wasesithi kuye: Woza lami siye ekhaya, udle isinkwa.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Ke ta ō mo au ki ʻapi, pea ke kai ha meʻakai.”
16 Wasesithi: Ngingeke ngibuyele lawe, kumbe ngingene lawe, angiyikudla isinkwa, njalo angiyikunatha lawe amanzi kulindawo,
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u faʻa foki atu mo koe, pe ʻalu mo koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te u kai ha meʻakai pe inu ha vai mo koe ʻi he potu ni:
17 ngoba ilizwi lathi kimi ngelizwi leNkosi: Kawuyikudla isinkwa, unganathi amanzi khona, ungabuyeli uhambe ngendlela oze ngayo.
He naʻe tala mai ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te ke kai ha mā pe inu ha vai ʻi ai, pe te ke toe liliu atu ke ʻalu ʻi he hala naʻa ke omi ai.”
18 Wasesithi kuye: Lami ngingumprofethi njengawe, njalo ingilosi ikhulume kimi ngelizwi leNkosi isithi: Umbuyise endlini yakho lawe ukuze adle isinkwa anathe amanzi. Kodwa waqamba amanga kuye.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e palōfita foki au ʻo hangē ko koe; pea naʻe lea mai ha ʻāngelo kiate au ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘Toe ʻomi ia mo koe ki ho fale, koeʻuhi ke ne kai ha meʻakai mo inu ha vai.’” Ka naʻa ne loi kiate ia.
19 Wasebuyela laye, wadla isinkwa endlini yakhe, wanatha amanzi.
Ko ia naʻa ne foki atu mo ia, mo ne kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi hono fale, mo ne inu vai.
20 Kwasekusithi behlezi etafuleni, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kumprofethi owayembuyisile;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻena nofo ʻi he keinangaʻanga, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita naʻe fakafoki mai ia:
21 wasememeza kulowomuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela koJuda, esithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngenxa yokuthi kawulalelanga umlomo weNkosi, ungagcinanga umlayo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakulaya wona,
Pea naʻa ne ui ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Koeʻuhi kuo ke talangataʻa ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea kuo ʻikai te ke fai ʻae fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,
22 kodwa ubuyile, wadla isinkwa, wanatha amanzi endaweni eyathi ngayo kuwe: Ungadli isinkwa, njalo unganathi amanzi; isidumbu sakho kasiyikuya engcwabeni laboyihlo.
Ka kuo ke toe foki ki mui, pea kuo ke kai ʻae meʻakai mo inu ʻae vai ʻi he potu, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai kiate koe, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kai ha meʻakai, pe inu ha vai;’ ʻe ʻikai hoko ho ʻangaʻanga ki he fonua loto ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai.”
23 Kwasekusithi emva kokudla kwakhe isinkwa lemva kokunatha kwakhe, wasembophelela isihlalo kubabhemi lowomprofethi ayembuyisile.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻa ʻene kai ʻae meʻakai pea hili mo ʻene inu, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, maʻae palōfita naʻa ne fakafoki mai.
24 Kwathi esehambile, isilwane samfica endleleni, sambulala; isidumbu sakhe sasesiphoselwa endleleni, ubabhemi wema eceleni kwaso, isilwane laso sema eceleni kwesidumbu.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu, naʻe fetaulaki mai kiate ia ha laione ʻi he hala, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa hono ʻangaʻanga ʻi he hala pea naʻe tuʻu ofi ki ai ʻae ʻasi, pea naʻe tuʻu foki ʻae laione ʻo ofi atu ki he ʻangaʻanga.
25 Khangela-ke, abantu bedlula babona isidumbu siphoselwe endleleni lesilwane simi eceleni kwesidumbu; bafika bakubika emzini lapho lowomprofethi omdala ayehlala khona.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ai ha kau tangata, ʻonau mamata ki he ʻangaʻanga naʻe lī ʻi he hala, pea mo e laione naʻe tuʻu ofi atu ki he ʻangaʻanga: pea naʻa nau omi ʻo tala ia ʻi he kolo ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae motuʻa palōfita.
26 Kwathi lowomprofethi owayembuyisile esizwa wathi: Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ongalalelanga umlomo weNkosi; ngakho iNkosi imnikele esilwaneni esimphoqoze sambulala, njengokwelizwi leNkosi elakhuluma kuye.
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻae palōfita ʻaia naʻe fakafoki mai ia mei he hala, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ia, ʻaia naʻe talangataʻa ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: ko ia kuo tukuange ai ia ki he laione, ʻaia kuo maumauʻi ia, mo tāmateʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kiate ia.”
27 Wasekhuluma emadodaneni akhe esithi: Ngibophelelani isihlalo kubabhemi. Basebebophela isihlalo.
Pea naʻe lea ia ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē, “ʻAi ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi maʻaku.” Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga.
28 Wasehamba wathola isidumbu sakhe siphoselwe endleleni, lobabhemi lesilwane kumi eceleni kwesidumbu. Isilwane sasingasidlanga isidumbu, singephulanga ubabhemi.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo ʻilo ʻa hono ʻangaʻanga kuo lī ʻi he hala, pea tutuʻu ʻae ʻasi mo e laione ʻo vāofi mo e ʻangaʻanga: naʻe ʻikai keina ʻe he laione ʻae ʻangaʻanga, pe [te ne ]haehae ʻae ʻasi.
29 Umprofethi wasesiphakamisa isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasiphanyeka kubabhemi, wasibuyisa; umprofethi omdala wafika emzini ukulila lokumngcwaba.
Pea naʻe toʻo hake ʻe he palōfita ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakaheka ia ki he ʻasi, ʻo ne toe ʻomi ia: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae motuʻa palōfita ki he kolo, ke ne tēngihia ia pea ke fai hono putu.
30 Wasilalisa isidumbu engcwabeni lakhe, bamlilela bathi: Maye mfowethu!
Pea naʻa ne tuku hono sino ki hono faʻitoka ʻoʻona; pea naʻa nau tēngihia ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē! ʻA hoku kāinga!”
31 Kwasekusithi emva kokumngcwaba kwakhe wakhuluma emadodaneni akhe esithi: Ekufeni kwami lingingcwabe engcwabeni okungcwatshelwe khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu; lilalise amathambo ami eceleni kwamathambo akhe.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻa ʻene tanu ia, naʻa ne lea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē, “ʻO kau ka mate au, te mou toki tanu au ʻi he fonua loto ʻaia kuo tanu ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua; tuku fakataha ʻa hoku ngaahi hui mo hono ngaahi hui:”
32 Ngoba udaba luzakwenzeka sibili, alumemeza ngelizwi leNkosi emelene lelathi eliseBhetheli, njalo emelene lezindlu zonke zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yeSamariya.
Koeʻuhi ko e lea naʻa ne kalanga ʻaki ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi Peteli, pea ki he ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samelia, ʻe hoko moʻoni ia ʻo fai.
33 Emva kwaloludaba uJerobhowamu kaphendukanga endleleni yakhe embi, kodwa wabuya wenza abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo ebantwini abaphansi kakhulu; ofunayo wamehlukanisa waba ngowabapristi bendawo eziphakemeyo.
Kae hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai tafoki ʻa Selopoami mei hono hala kovi, ka naʻa ne toe fakanofo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mei he kau tuʻa ʻoe kakai, ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ko ia fulipē naʻe loto ki ai, naʻa ne fakanofo ia ʻo ne hoko ki he faʻahinga taulaʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
34 Langale into kwaba lesono kuyo indlu kaJerobhowamu, ngitsho ukuyiquma lokuyichitha isuke ebusweni bomhlaba.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa ni ko e angahala ki he fale ʻo Selopoami, ke motuhi ai ia, pea ke fakaʻauha ia mei he funga ʻo māmani.
