1 Amakhosi 20
1 UBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya wasebutha ibutho lakhe lonke, elamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili, lamabhiza lezinqola. Wenyuka wayavimbezela iSamariya, walwa layo.
Koro Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolwenje duto. Koriwore gi ruodhi piero adek gariyo man-gi farese kod geche nodhi molworo Samaria kendo omonje.
2 Wathuma izithunywa kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, emzini, wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi:
Nooro joote ei dala ir Ahab ruodh Israel kawacho niya, “Ma e gima Ben-Hadad wacho:
3 Isiliva sakho legolide lakho ngokwami, labafazi bakho labantwana bakho abahle ngabami.
‘Fedha magi gi dhahabu magi gin maga kendo mondi mabeyo kod nyithindi gin maga.’”
4 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Njengokwelizwi lakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngingowakho, lakho konke engilakho.
To ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Mana kaka iwacho ruodha jaloch, An kaachiel gi mwanduna duto wan magi.”
5 Izithunywa zasezibuyela zathi: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi uthi: Lanxa ngithumele kuwe ngisithi: Isiliva sakho legolide lakho labafazi bakho labantwana bakho, kunike mina;
Jootego noduogo kendo mowacho niya, “Ma e gima Ben-Hadad owacho: ‘Naoro mondo akaw dhahabu magi kod fedha magi kaachiel gi mondi gi nyithindi.
6 kube kanti phose ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizathuma kuwe izinceku zami, zizaguduza indlu yakho lezindlu zezinceku zakho; kuzakuthi-ke, yonke into ethandekayo emehlweni akho, zizayifaka esandleni sazo ziyithathe.
To kiny kar sa maka ma, abiro oro jodonga mondo omany odi mar ruoth kaachiel gi ut jodongi. Gibiro kawo gimoro amora mikwano kaka gima berni.’”
7 Ngakho inkosi yakoIsrayeli yabiza bonke abadala belizwe yathi: Ake linanzelele libone ukuthi lo udinga ububi, ngoba uthumele kimi ngabafazi bami langabantwana bami langesiliva sami langegolide lami, njalo kangimalelanga.
Ruodh Israel noluongo jodongo duto mag piny mowachonegi niya, “Neuru kaka ngʼatni dwaro chandruok! Kane odwaro dhahabu maga gi fedha maga kaachiel gi monda gi nyithinda ne ok atame.”
8 Bonke abadala labo bonke abantu basebesithi kuyo: Ungalaleli, njalo ungavumi.
Jodongo kaachiel gi ji duto nodwoke kawacho niya, “Kik iwinje kata yie kik iyie gik modwaro.”
9 Wasesithi kuzo izithunywa zikaBenihadadi: Tshelani inkosi yami, inkosi ukuthi: Konke eyakuthumela encekwini yayo kuqala ngizakwenza; kodwa linto kangilamandla okuyenza. Izithunywa zasezihamba, zayibuyisela ilizwi.
Kamano nodwoko joote mag Ben-Hadad niya, “Nyis ruodha ma jaloch kama, ‘Jatichni biro timo duto mane idwaro mokwongo, to dwaronini ok anyal.’” Negia gitero ni Ben-Hadad dwoko.
10 UBenihadadi wasethumela kuye wathi: Kabenze njalo onkulunkulu kimi, bengezelele njalo, uba ubhuqu lweSamariya lungenela izandla ezigcweleyo zabo bonke abantu abangilandelayo.
Eka Ben-Hadad nochako ooro ote machielo ni Ahab kowachone niya, “Mad nyiseche timna kata bedi ni en malit machalo nade, ka ok otieko Samaria pep molokore buru.”
11 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Mtsheleni: Lowo obhinca izikhali kangaziqakisi njengozikhululayo.
Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Nyise kama: ‘Ngʼat morwako lepe mag lweny ok onego go siboi ka ngʼat molonyo lepe mag lweny.’”
12 Kwasekusithi esizwa lelilizwi esanatha, yena lamakhosi emadumbeni, wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Zimiseni! Zasezizimisa ukumelana lomuzi.
Ben-Hadad nowinjo oteno ka en kaachiel gi ruodhi ne metho e hembegi mi nochiko joge niya, “Ikreuru mondo umonjgi.” Omiyo negiikore mondo gimonj dalano maduongʼ.
13 Khangela-ke, umprofethi othile wasondela kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uyalibona lelixuku lonke elikhulu yini? Khangela, ngizalinikela esandleni sakho lamuhla, njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.
To e kindeno janabi moro nobiro ir Ahab Ruodh Israel molando niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ‘Donge ineno jolweny mangʼenygi? Abiro chiwe e lweti kawuono kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
14 UAhabi wasesithi: Ngobani? Wasesithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngamajaha abaphathi bezabelo. Wasesithi: Ngubani ozaqalisa impi? Wasesithi: Wena.
To Ahab nopenjo niya, “To en ngʼatno mabiro timo mano?” To janabi nodwoke niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Rowere ma jolweny mag jotend lweny mar gwenge ema biro timo mani.’” Nopenjo niya, “En ngʼa mabiro chako lweny?” To janabi nodwoke niya, “In ema ibiro timo kamano.”
15 Wasebala amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, ayengamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili; lemva kwawo wabala bonke abantu, bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.
Kamano Ahab nochiko rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge maromo ji mia ariyo gi piero adek gariyo. Eka nochoko jo-Israel mamoko maromo ji alufu abiriyo koriwore.
16 Basebephuma emini, uBenihadadi esenathe wadakwa emadumbeni, yena lamakhosi, amakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayemsiza.
Negichako wuoth odiechiengʼ tir ka Ben-Hadad kod ruodhi piero adek gariyo moriwore kode ne nitie e hema metho.
17 Amajaha abaphathi bezabelo asephuma kuqala. UBenihadadi wasethuma, basebemtshela besithi: Kuphume amadoda eSamariya.
Rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge nodhi mokwongo. Koro Ben-Hadad nooro jombetre mane odwogone wach kama, “Jomoko biro kowuok Samaria.”
18 Wasesithi: Loba ephumele ukuthula, abambeni ephila; loba-ke ephumele impi, abambeni ephila.
Nodwoko kama, “Ka gibiro gi kwe, makgiuru ka gingima; to ka gibiro ni lweny, to bende makgiuru ka gingima.”
19 Lala aphuma emzini, amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, lebutho elawalandelayo.
Rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge nowuok e dala ka jolweny luwo bangʼ-gi,
20 Babulala, ngulowo lalowo umuntu wakhe. AmaSamariya asebaleka, uIsrayeli wasexotshana lawo, kodwa uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya waphunyuka ngebhiza kanye labagadi bamabhiza.
kendo moro ma moro nonego jadhape. Gikanyono jo-Aram noringo ka jo-Israel lawogi. To Ben-Hadad ruodh jo-Aram notony koidho farase kod joidh faresene mamoko.
21 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphuma, yatshaya amabhiza lenqola, yatshaya phakathi kwamaSiriya ngokubulala okukhulu.
Ruodh Israel nolawogi kendo nohinyo jo-farese kod jo-geche mi nonego jo-Aram mangʼeny.
22 Lowomprofethi wasesondela enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi kuyo: Hamba, uziqinise, unanzelele njalo ubone okwenzayo; ngoba ekuthwaseni komnyaka inkosi yeSiriya izakwenyuka imelane lawe.
Bangʼe janabi nobiro ir ruodh Israel monyise niya, “Koro jiw jolweny magi mondo ine gima onego itim nimar ruodh Aram biro monji kendo e chwiri mabiro.”
23 Lezinceku zenkosi yeSiriya zathi kuyo: Onkulunkulu babo bangonkulunkulu bezintaba, yikho belamandla kulathi; kube kanti asilwe labo emagcekeni, sibili sizabehlula.
E kindego jodong ruoth nongʼado rieko ni ruodh Aram nongʼadone rieko kagiwachone niya, “nyisechegi gin nyiseche gode, mano emomiyo ne gin gi teko moloyowa; to ka wakedo kodgi e pewe to adier wabiro bedo matek maloyogi.
24 Ngakho yenza linto: Susa amakhosi, ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, ubeke izinduna esikhundleni sawo;
To tim kama: Gol ruodhi duto e telo ni lweny kendo wilgi gi jotelo mamoko.
25 njalo wena zibalele ibutho njengebutho eliwileyo kuwe, lebhiza njengebhiza, lenqola njengenqola; njalo sizakulwa labo emagcekeni, isibili sizabehlula. Yasilalela ilizwi labo, yenza njalo.
Bende nyaka ichok jolweny marom gi mago mane wawito farese kar farese mane walalo kod geche kar geche mane walalo eka mondo waked gi Israel e pewe. Eka adier wanabed matek moloyogi.” Noyie kodgi motimo kaka owinjore.
26 Kwasekusithi ekuthwaseni komnyaka uBenihadadi wabala amaSiriya, wenyukela eAfeki ekulweni loIsrayeli.
E chwiri maluwe Ben-Hadad nochoko jo-Aram modhi Afek mondo oked gi Israel.
27 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli babalwa-ke, banikwa imiphako, basebephuma ukumelana lawo; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bamisa inkamba phambi kwawo njengemihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kodwa amaSiriya agcwala ilizwe.
Kane jo-Israel bende nochoki momigi gige konyruok, ne giwuok mondo girom kodgi. Jo-Israel nogoyo kambi momanyore kodgi machalo gi kweth ariyo mag diek, ka jo-Aram to nokwako pewe.
28 Kwasekusondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wakhuluma enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngenxa yokuthi amaSiriya athe: INkosi inguNkulunkulu wezintaba, kodwa kayisuye uNkulunkulu wezihotsha, ngakho ngizanikela esandleni sakho lelixuku lonke elikhulu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.
Ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro monyiso ruodh Israel niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, nikech jo-Aram paro ni Jehova Nyasaye en nyasach gode to ok nyasach holni, abiro chiwo jolweny mangʼenygi e lweti kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye.”
29 Basebemisa inkamba, enye iqondene lenye, insuku eziyisikhombisa. Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa impi yadibana; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebetshaya ngosuku lunye amaSiriya azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahamba ngenyawo.
Kuom ndalo abiriyo negigoyo kambi ka gimanyore, kendo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo lweny norado. Jo-Israel nonego jolwenj Aram ma jotelo maromo alufu mia achiel odiechiengno.
30 Labaseleyo babalekela eAfeki emzini; lomduli wawela phezu kwamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa ayesele. UBenihadadi laye wabaleka, wangena emzini ekamelweni elingaphakathi.
Joma nodongʼ kuomgi notony modhi Afek kama ohinga nomukore monego ji alufu piero ariyo gabiriyo. To Ben-Hadad noringo modhi e dala maduongʼ mopondo ei ot maiye.
31 Lezinceku zakhe zathi kuye: Khangela-ke, sizwile ukuthi amakhosi endlu yakoIsrayeli angamakhosi alesihawu; ake sifake amasaka enkalweni zethu, lamagoda emakhanda ethu, siphumele enkosini yakoIsrayeli; mhlawumbe izagcina umphefumulo wakho uphile.
Jodonge nowachone niya, “Ne, wasewinjo ni ruodhi mag jo-Israel ngʼwon. Yie wadhi ir ruodh Israel ka watweyo pien gugru e nungowa kendo ka watweyo tonde e wiwa. Dipo ka okechi.”
32 Basebethandela amasaka enkalweni zabo, lamagoda emakhanda abo, bafika enkosini yakoIsrayeli, bathi: Inceku yakho uBenihadadi ithi: Ake ungiyekele ngiphile. Yasisithi: Usaphila yini? Ungumfowethu.
Negidhi ir ruodh Israel ka girwako lep pien gugru e nungogi kendo gitweyo tonde wigi mi giwachone niya, “Jatichni Ben-Hadad wacho niya, Yie iweya abed mangima.” Eka ruoth nodwoko niya, “Pod ongima? En owadwa.”
33 Lamadoda aqaphela ngokukhuthala aphangisa ukukuhluthuna kuyo, athi: Umfowenu uBenihadadi. Yasisithi: Hambani liyemthatha. UBenihadadi wasephumela kuyo, yamkhweza enqoleni.
Jogo nokaw wachno kaka ranyisi maber kendo negikawo wachno piyo piyo ma giwacho niya, “Ee, owadu Ben-Hadad!” Ruoth nowachonigi niya, “Dhiuru mondo uome.” Kane Ben-Hadad osewuok oko, Ahab noluongo mondo oidh gache.
34 Wasesithi kuyo: Imizi ubaba ayithatha kuyihlo ngizayibuyisela; futhi ungazenzela izitalada eDamaseko njengokwenza kukababa eSamariya. Khona uAhabi wathi: Mina ngizakuyekela uhambe ngalesisivumelwano. Yasisenza laye isivumelwano yamyekela ehamba.
Ben-Hadad noyie mowachone niya, “Abiro dwoko mier mane wuonwa okawo kuom wuonu.” Inyalo keto chirni magu uwuon Damaski mana kaka wuonwa notimo Samaria. Ahab nodwoke niya, “Kuom winjruok ma wabiro timo abiro weyi mondo idhi.” Kuom mano notimo kode winjruok moweye odhi.
35 Umuntu othile wamadodana abaprofethi wasesithi kumakhelwane wakhe ngelizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu: Ake ungitshaye. Kodwa lowomuntu wala ukumtshaya.
Kuom wach Jehova Nyasaye achiel kuom yawuot jonabi nowacho ni wadgi niya, “Goya gi gir lwenji mitingʼo,” to ngʼatno notamore.
36 Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ungalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, khangela, ekusukeni kwakho kimi isilwane sizakutshaya. Wasesuka kuye, lesilwane samfica, sambulala.
Kamano janabi nowacho niya, “Nikech ok isewinjo dwond Jehova Nyasaye, mapiyo piyo kiwuok ka, to sibuor biro negi.” Kendo bangʼ ka ngʼatno nosea, sibuor noyude monege.
37 Wasethola omunye umuntu wathi: Ake ungitshaye. Lalowomuntu wamtshaya lokumtshaya emlimaza.
Janabino noyudo ngʼat machielo mowachone niya, “Kiyie to goya.” Kamano ngʼatno nogoye mohinye.
38 Ngakho umprofethi wasuka, wamelela inkosi endleleni, ezifihle isimo ngelembu emehlweni.
Eka janabino nodhi mochungʼ e bath yo korito ruoth. Noumo wangʼe gi kilemba mar wiye mondo kik fweny ni en ngʼa.
39 Kwasekusithi inkosi idlula, yena wamemeza enkosini wathi: Inceku yakho yaphuma phakathi kwempi; khangela-ke, umuntu waphambuka, waletha umuntu kimi, wathi: Londoloza lumuntu; uba elahleka lokulahleka, khona impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, kumbe uhlawule ngethalenta lesiliva.
Kane ruoth kadho kanyo janabi noluonge mowachone niya, “Jatichni nodhi e chuny lweny, kendo ngʼato nobiro ira gi misumba momaki mowachona ni, ‘Rit ngʼatni kolal to ngimani biro chulo ngimane kata ibiro chulo fedha maromo kilo piero adek gangʼwen.’
40 Kwasekusithi inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, yena wayengekho. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuye: Sinjalo isahlulelo sakho, ususiqumile wena.
Kane jatijno odich ka gi kacha ngʼatno nolal.” Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Mano e bura mongʼadni nikech isewache iwuon.”
41 Wasephangisa walisusa ilembu emehlweni akhe. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasimazi ukuthi ungowabaprofethi.
Eka janabi nogolo kilemba mane ogengʼogo wangʼe mi ruodh jo-Israel nofwenye kaka achiel kuom jonabi.
42 Wasesithi kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngoba umyekele ukuthi aphume esandleni umuntu engimmisele ukumtshabalalisa, ngakho impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, labantu bakho esikhundleni sabantu bakhe.
Nowacho ni ruoth niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Iseweyo ngʼat mane awacho ni nyaka tho odhi thuolo. Kuom mano inichul ngimane gi ngimani kendo jogi kuom joge.’”
43 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisiya endlini yayo inyukumele, ithukuthele, yafika eSamariya.
Ruodh Israel nodhi e ode mar ruoth Samaria ka chunye orumo kendo ka iye owangʼ kod mirima.
