1 Amakhosi 19
1 UAhabi wasetshela uJezebeli konke uElija ayekwenzile, labo bonke ababulalayo, bonke abaprofethi, ngenkemba.
HAI aku la no hoi o Ahaba ia Iezebela i ka mea a pau a Elia i hana'i, a me kona pepehi ana i ka poe kaula me ka pahikaua.
2 Khona uJezebeli wathuma isithunywa kuElija esithi: Kabenze njalo onkulunkulu, bengezelele njalo, uba ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngingenzi impilo yakho ibe njengempilo yomunye wabo.
Alaila hoouna ae la o Iezebela i ka elele io Elia la, i ae la, Pela hoi e hana mai ai na akua ia'u, a hui hou no, ke hoohalike ole aku au i kou ola apopo me neia ka hora, me ke ola o kekahi o lakou.
3 Esekubonile, wasukuma, wahamba ngenxa yempilo yakhe, wafika eBherishebha engeyakoJuda, watshiya khona inceku yakhe.
A ike oia, ku ae la ia iluna, a holo no kona ola, a hiki i Beereseba no Iuda, a haalele i kana kauwa malaila.
4 Kodwa yena wahamba uhambo losuku enkangala, wafika wahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla serotemu, wacela ukuthi umphefumulo wakhe ufe, wathi: Kwanele, khathesi, Nkosi, thatha impilo yami, ngoba kangingcono kulabobaba.
A hele ae la hoi oia, i ka hele ana o kekahi la, iloko ae o ka waonahele, hele hoi a noho iho malalo iho o ka laau iunipera; a nonoi aku la hoi nona iho e make ia; i aku la hoi, Ua nui; ano hoi, e Iehova, e lawe aku i kuu ola nei; no ka mea, aole oi aku ko'u maikai mamua o ko'u mau makua.
5 Esecambalele elele ngaphansi kwesihlahla esithile serotemu, khangela-ke, khonokho ingilosi yamthinta, yathi kuye: Vuka udle.
Moe iho la oia a hiamoe ilalo o ka laau iunipera, aia hoi, ilaila, hoopa mai la kahi anela ia ia, i mai la, E ala, e ai.
6 Wasethalaza, khangela-ke, ekhanda lakhe iqebelengwana losiwe emalahleni, lesigxingi samanzi; wasesidla wanatha, waphinda walala.
Nana ae la hoi ia, aia hoi, kokoke i kona poo, he popopalaoa i hoomoaia maluna o ka lanahu, a he omole wai. Ai iho la ia a inu hoi, a moe hou iho la ilalo.
7 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasifika ngokwesibili, yamthinta yathi: Vuka udle; ngoba uhambo lwakho lukhulu kakhulu kuwe.
Hele hou mai la ka anela o Iehova, o ka lua ia, a hoopa mai ia ia, i mai la hoi, E ala, e ai, no ka mea, he loihi ka hele ana nou.
8 Wasevuka wadla wanatha, wahamba ngamandla alokhokudla insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, waze wafika eHorebe intaba kaNkulunkulu.
Ala ae la ia, a ai iho la, a inu no hoi, a ma ka ikaika no ua ai la, i hele ai oia i na la he kanaha, a i na po he kanaha, i Horeba, ka mauna o ke Akua.
9 Wasengena lapho ebhalwini, walala khona ubusuku. Khangela-ke, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuye lathi kuye: Wenzani lapha, Elija?
Hiki aku la ia ilaila i ke ana, noho ae la hoi ilaila; aia hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i mai la hoi oia ia ia, He aha la kau e hana nei maanei, e Elia?
10 Wathi: Bengitshiseka lokutshisekela iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli basitshiyile isivumelwano sakho, badiliza amalathi akho, babulala abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba; yimi ngedwa engiseleyo, njalo badinga impilo yami ukuyisusa.
I aku la hoi ia, Ua ikaika loa ae nei au mamuli o Iehova ke Akua o ko ka lani; no ka mea, ua haalele no na mamo a Iseraela i kau berita, ua hoohiolo hoi i kou mau kuahu, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe kaula me ka pahikaua: a owau wale no ka i koe mai, a ua imi mai lakou i ko'u ola e lawe aku.
11 Wasesithi: Phuma ume entabeni phambi kweNkosi. Khangela-ke, iNkosi yadlula. Umoya omkhulu olamandla wasudabula izintaba, waqhekeza amadwala phambi kweNkosi; kodwa iNkosi yayingekho emoyeni. Lemva komoya ukunyikinyeka komhlaba; kodwa iNkosi yayingekho ekunyikinyekeni komhlaba.
I mai la hoi oia, E puka'e, a e ku maluna o ka mauna imua o Iehova. Aia hoi, maalo ae la o Iehova, a haehae ae la ka makani nui ikaika i na mauna, a wawahi ae la i na pohaku imua o Iehova; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ka makani: a mahope iho o ka makani, he olai; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ke olai.
12 Lemva kokunyikinyeka komhlaba umlilo; kodwa iNkosi yayingekho emlilweni. Njalo emva komlilo ilizwi elincinyane elinyenyezayo.
A mahope iho o ke olai, he ahi; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ke ahi; a mahope iho o ke ahi, he kamumu o ke aheahe malie.
13 Kwasekuthi uElija elizwa, wathandela ubuso bakhe ngesembatho sakhe, waphuma wema emlonyeni wobhalu. Khangela-ke, leza kuye ilizwi lathi: Wenzani lapha, Elija?
Eia kekahi, a lohe o Elia, uhi ae la oia i kona maka i kona aahu, a puka ae la oia a ku ma ke komo ana o ke ana. Aia hoi, he leo ia ia, i mai la hoi ia, O ke aha la kau e hana nei maanei, e Elia?
14 Wathi: Bengitshisekela lokutshisekela iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli basitshiyile isivumelwano sakho, badiliza amalathi akho, babulala abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba; yimi ngedwa engiseleyo, njalo badinga impilo yami ukuyisusa.
I aku la hoi oia, Ua ikaika loa ae nei au mamuli o Iehova ke Akua o ko ka lani; no ka mea, ua haalele no na mamo a Iseraela i kau berita, ua hoohiolo hoi i kou mau kuahu, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe kaula me ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i koe mai, a ua imi mai lakou i ko'u ola e lawe aku.
15 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Hamba, ubuyele ngendlela yakho uye enkangala yeDamaseko; lapho usufikile ugcobe uHazayeli abe yinkosi phezu kweSiriya,
I mai la hoi o Iehova ia ia, E hele, e hoi ma kou aoao i ka waonahele o Damaseko; a hiki aku oe, e poni aku ia Hazaela i alii maluna o Suria;
16 loJehu indodana kaNimshi umgcobe abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, loElisha indodana kaShafati weAbeli-Mehola umgcobe abe ngumprofethi esikhundleni sakho.
A o Iehu ke keiki a Nimesi kau e poni ai i alii maluna o ka Iseraela; o Elisai ke keiki a Sapata no Abelamehola kau e poni ai i kaula ma kou hakahaka.
17 Kuzakuthi-ke ozaphepha enkembeni kaHazayeli uJehu uzambulala, lozaphepha enkembeni kaJehu uElisha uzambulala.
Eia auanei keia, o ka mea pakele i ka pahikaua a Hazela, oia ka Iehu e pepehi ai; a o ka mea pakele i ka pahikaua a Iehu, oia ka Elisai e pepehi ai.
18 Kodwa ngitshiyile koIsrayeli abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, wonke amadolo angazanga aguqe kuBhali, lawo wonke umlomo ongazanga umange.
Aka, Ke hookoe nei au i na tausani ehiku iloko o ka Iseraela, i na kuli a pau i kukuli ole ia Baala, a me na waha a pau i honi ole ia ia.
19 Wasesuka lapho, wafica uElisha indodana kaShafati; wayelima ngezipani zenkabi zamajogwe alitshumi lambili phambi kwakhe, yena wayelesetshumi lambili. UElija wesesedlula eceleni kwakhe, waphosela isembatho sakhe phezu kwakhe.
Hele aku la hoi oia mai laila aku, a loaa ia ia o Elisai ke keiki a Sapata, e oopalau ana ia, o na paa bipi kauo he umikumamalua mamua ona, a oia me ka umikumamalua; a maalo ae o Elia ia ia, a kau ae hoi i kona aahu maluna ona.
20 Wasetshiya izinkabi, wagijima elandela uElija, wathi: Ake ngange ubaba lomama, besengikulandela. Wasesithi kuye: Hamba ubuyele, ngoba ngenzeni kuwe?
Haalele ae la hoi oia i na bipi kauo, a hahai aku la mamuli o Elia, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au e honi au i ko'u makuakane, a me kuu makuwahine, alaila e hahai au mamuli ou. I mai la hoi oia ia ia, E hoi aku, no ka mea, o ke aha la ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe?
21 Wasebuyela ekumlandeleni, wathatha isipani senkabi, wasihlaba, langezikhali zenkabi wapheka inyama yazo, wayinika abantu, bayidla. Wasesuka elandela uElija, wamsebenzela.
Hoi hou aku la oia mai ona aku la, a lalau iho la i kekahi paa bipi kauo, a pepehi loa ia, a baila ae la i ko laua io me na mea haua o ka bipi, a haawi ae na na kanaka, a ai iho la lakou. Alaila, ku ae la oia iluna, a hahai aku la mamuli o Elia, a lawelawe ae la nana.
