1 Amakhosi 21
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNabothi umJizereyeli wayelesivini esasiseJizereyeli phansi kwesigodlo sikaAhabi inkosi yeSamariya.
Bangʼ kinde moko wach nowuok momako puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, puoth mzabibuno ne nitie Jezreel, machiegni gi dala ruoth maduongʼ mar Ahab ma ruodh Samaria.
2 UAhabi wasekhuluma loNabothi esithi: Ngipha isivini sakho ukuze sibe kimi yisivande semibhida, ngoba siseduze phansi kwendlu yami; ngizakunika isivini esingcono kulaso esikhundleni saso; uba kukuhle emehlweni akho, ngizakunika imali ngentengo yaso.
Ahab nowachone Naboth niya, “Yie akaw puothi mar mzabibu alok puoth alot nikech ochiegni gi dalana maduongʼ. To kar puodhono abiro miyi puoth mzabibu maber moloyo, to bende ka ihero to anachuli gimoro amora midwaro.”
3 Kodwa uNabothi wathi kuAhabi: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngikunike ilifa labobaba.
To Naboth nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dibed mamor kade amiyi puodho ma en mwandu kwerena.”
4 UAhabi wasengena endlini yakhe enyukumele ethukuthele ngenxa yelizwi uNabothi umJizereyeli ayelikhulume kuye, ngoba wayethe: Kangiyikukunika ilifa labobaba. Wasecambalala embhedeni wakhe, waphendula ubuso bakhe, kadlanga ukudla.
Omiyo Ahab nodok dala kokuyo kendo ka iye owangʼ nikech Naboth ja-Jezreel nodwoke niya, “Ok anamiyi gir mwandu mar kwerena.” Nonindo e kitandane ka oparore kendo notamore chiemo.
5 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesiza kuye wathi kuye: Kungani umoya wakho usineme ukuze ungadli ukudla?
Jaode Jezebel nobiro ire e ot mopenje niya, “En angʼo momiyo ikuyo? En angʼo momoni chiemo?”
6 Wasesithi kuye: Ngoba ngikhulume loNabothi umJizereyeli ngithe kuye: Nginike isivini sakho ngemali, loba uba uthanda ngizakunika isivini esikhundleni saso; wasesithi: Kangiyikukunika isivini sami.
Nodwoke niya, “Nikech nawacho ni Naboth ja-Jezreel ni, ‘Yie iusna puothi mar mzabibu; to ka ok kamano, to anyalo miyi puoth mzabibu machielo kare.’ En to nodwoke ni, ‘Ok anamiyi puotha mar mzabibu.’”
7 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Khathesi nguwe obusa umbuso wakoIsrayeli? Vuka udle isinkwa, lenhliziyo yakho ithokoze; ngizakunika mina isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.
Jezebel jaode to nowachone niya, “Bende e kaka onego itimri to in e ruoth mar Israel? Aa malo kendo ichiem! Bed mamor. Abiro miyi puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel.”
8 Wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo likaAhabi, wazidinda ngophawu lwakhe, wazithumela izincwadi ebadaleni lakuzikhulu, ababesemzini wakhe, behlala loNabothi.
Omiyo nondiko barupe kotiyo gi nying Ahab moketo kido mar ruoth kuomgi kendo mi oorgi ir jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak kode e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth.
9 Wasebhala ezincwadini esithi: Memezelani izilo lokudla, limhlalise uNabothi ngaphezulu kwabantu;
E barupego nondikoe kama: “Luonguru odiechieng tweyo chiemo kendo keturu Naboth obed piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
10 beselihlalisa amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, maqondana laye ukuthi afakaze emelene laye esithi: Uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Beselimkhuphela phandle limkhande ngamatshe aze afe.
To keturu joma timbegi mono ariyo momanyore kode kendo ketgiuru mondo gihangne wach ni osekwongʼo Nyasaye kod ruoth. Eka ugole oko kendo uchiele gi kite nyaka otho.”
11 Lamadoda alumuzi wakhe, abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini wakhe, benza njengokuthumela kukaJezebeli kuwo, njengokubhalwe ezincwadini ayewathumele zona.
Omiyo jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth notimo kaka Jezebel nochikogi e barupego mane osendikonigi.
12 Amemezela izilo lokudla, ahlalisa uNabothi phezulu kwabantu.
Negilando chiengʼ tweyo chiemo kendo negiketo Naboth obet piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
13 Asengena amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, ahlala maqondana laye; lamadoda kaBheliyali afakaza emelene laye, emelene loNabothi, phambi kwabantu, esithi: UNabothi uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Basebemkhuphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa.
Eka ji ariyo ma timbegi mono nobiro mobedo momanyore kode e nyim ji, mohangone wach kawacho niya, “Naboth osekwongʼo Nyasaye gi ruoth.” Omiyo ne gigole oko mar dala mi gigoye gi kite ma otho.
14 Basebethumela kuJezebeli besithi: UNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa.
Eka negioro ni Jezebel wach kama, “Naboth osego gi kite motho.”
15 Kwasekusithi uJezebeli esezwile ukuthi uNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa, uJezebeli wathi kuAhabi: Vuka uthathe isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli sibe ngesakho, ala ukukunika sona ngemali, ngoba uNabothi kaphili, kodwa ufile.
Mapiyo piyo ka Jezebel nowinjo ni Naboth osego gi kite motho, nonyiso Ahab niya, “Aa malo mondo ikaw puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, mane odagi usoni, ok ongima, osetho.”
16 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esezwile ukuthi uNabothi ufile, uAhabi wasukuma ukwehlela esivinini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli, ukusithatha sibe ngesakhe.
Kane Ahab owinjo ni Naboth osetho, noa malo modhi mondo okaw puoth Naboth mar mzabibu obed mare.
17 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi:
18 Sukuma wehle ukuhlangabeza uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya; khangela, usesivinini sikaNabothi, ehlele khona ukuze asithathe sibe ngesakhe.
“Dhiyo mondo irom gi Ahab ruodh Israel molocho Samaria. Koro entie e puoth Naboth mar mzabibu mosedhiye mondo okaw obed mare.
19 Uzakhuluma kuye uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ubulele futhi wathatha yini kwaba ngokwakho? Njalo uzakhuluma kuye uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Endaweni lapho izinja ezikhothe khona igazi likaNabothi, izinja zizakhotha igazi lakho, ngitsho elakho.
Nyise kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Donge isenego ngʼato kendo mikawo mwandune?’ Wachne kendo ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Kama guogi nonangʼoe remb Naboth, bende e kama guogi biro nangʼoe rembi in iwuon, ee, mana in!’”
20 UAhabi wasesithi kuElija: Ungificile yini, sitha sami? Wasesithi: Ngikutholile, ngoba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
Ahab nowacho ni Elija niya, “Kamano iseyuda in jasika!” To Elija nodwoke niya, “Ee, aseyudi nikech isechiwori mar timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
21 Khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi, ngiqothule inzalo yakho, ngiqume asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.
Abiro kelo masira kuomi. Abiro tieko nyikwayi kendo abiro ngʼado oko nyathi moro amora ma wuowi ma chogo moa dhood Ahab e piny Israel; bed ni gin wasumbini kata ok gin wasumbini.
22 Njalo ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya, ngenxa yesicunulo ongicunule ngaso, wenza uIsrayeli one.
Abiro loko odi kaka mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat gi kaka mar Baasha wuod Ahija nikech isemiya mirima kendo isemiyo Israel otimo richo.”
23 LangoJezebeli laye iNkosi yakhuluma isithi: Izinja zizamudla uJezebeli emthangaleni weJizereyeli.
Kendo kuom Jezebel Jehova Nyasaye nowacho kama, guogi biro kidho Jezebel e tie ohinga mar Jezreel.
24 OkaAhabi ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu.
“Guogi biro chamo joka Ahab motho e mier madongo kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pewe.”
25 Kodwa kakubanga khona onjengoAhabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, uJezebeli umkakhe amkhuthazayo.
Ne onge ngʼat moro machielo machalo gi Ahab, mane ochiwore ni timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kijiwe e timo kamano gi jaode Jezebel.
26 Wenza amanyala kakhulu ngokulandela izithombe, njengakho konke amaAmori akwenzayo, iNkosi eyawaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Timbene ne richoe moloyo koluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko, mana kaka jo-Amor mane Jehova Nyasaye oriembo e nyim jo-Israel.
27 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esizwa lamazwi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wafaka isaka phezu komzimba wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngesaka, wahamba buthakathaka.
Kane Ahab owinjo wechegi duto, noyiecho lepe, morwako lep gunia kendo notweyo chiemo. Nonindo gi lepe mag guniago kendo nowuotho kokuyo.
28 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi, kawacho niya,
29 Ubonile yini ukuthi uAhabi uzithobe phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuthi ezithobile phambi kwami kangiyikuletha ububi ensukwini zakhe; ensukwini zendodana yakhe ngizaletha lobububi endlini yakhe.
“Bende isefwenyo kaka sani Ahab osebolore e nyima? Nikech osebolore, ok anakel masirani e ndalone, to abiro kele e ode e kinde mag wuode.”
