1 Amakhosi 21
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNabothi umJizereyeli wayelesivini esasiseJizereyeli phansi kwesigodlo sikaAhabi inkosi yeSamariya.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖewo megbe la, nya aɖe va dzɔ ku ɖe Nabɔt, Yezreltɔ ƒe waingble ŋuti. Waingble la nɔ Yezreel eye wòte ɖe Samaria fia, Ahab ƒe fiasã ŋu.
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.
Gbe ɖeka la, Fia Ahab bia Nabɔt be wòadzra anyigba la na ye. Fia la ɖe eme nɛ be, “Medi be mawɔ abɔ aɖe ɖe anyigba sia dzi elabena ete ɖe nye fiasã la ŋu. Egblɔ be yeaxe ga ɖe eta gake ne elɔ̃ la, yeatsɔ anyigba bubu si nyo wu etɔ la aɖo eteƒe nɛ.”
3 Kodwa uNabothi wathi kuAhabi: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngikunike ilifa labobaba.
Ke Nabɔt ɖo eŋu be, “Anyigba sia nye tɔgbuinyigba na mí. Naneke mana maɖe asi le eŋu na wò o.”
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.
Ale Ahab tsɔ dɔmedzoe kple moyɔyɔ trɔ yi eƒe fiasã me. Egbe nuɖuɖu, eye wòɖamlɔ anyi hetrɔ mo ɖo ɖe gli ŋu!
5 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesiza kuye wathi kuye: Kungani umoya wakho usineme ukuze ungadli ukudla?
Srɔ̃a, Yezebel biae be, “Nya kae dzɔ ɖe dziwò? Nu kae na nètɔtɔ eye nèdo dɔmedzoe ale?”
6 Wasesithi kuye: Ngoba ngikhulume loNabothi umJizereyeli ngithe kuye: Nginike isivini sakho ngemali, loba uba uthanda ngizakunika isivini esikhundleni saso; wasesithi: Kangiyikukunika isivini sami.
Ahab ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mebia Nabɔt be wòadzra eƒe anyigba nam alo wòaɖɔ lii kple tɔnye aɖe, ke egbe!”
7 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Khathesi nguwe obusa umbuso wakoIsrayeli? Vuka udle isinkwa, lenhliziyo yakho ithokoze; ngizakunika mina isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.
Yezebel biae be, “Wòe nye Israel fia loo alo menye wòe o? Fɔ, nàɖu nu, mègatsi dzimaɖeɖi le nya sia ŋu kura o. Maxɔ Nabɔt ƒe waingble la na wò bɔbɔe!”
8 Wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo likaAhabi, wazidinda ngophawu lwakhe, wazithumela izincwadi ebadaleni lakuzikhulu, ababesemzini wakhe, behlala loNabothi.
Ale Yezebel ŋlɔ agbalẽwo ɖe Fia Ahab ƒe ŋkɔ me, tre enu kple Ahab ƒe ŋkɔsigɛ eye wòɖo wo ɖe Yezreel ƒe dumegã siwo nɔ teƒe ɖeka kple Nabɔt.
9 Wasebhala ezincwadini esithi: Memezelani izilo lokudla, limhlalise uNabothi ngaphezulu kwabantu;
Eɖe gbe na wo le agbalẽawo me be, “Miƒo ƒu dua me tɔwo hena nutsitsidɔ kple gbedodoɖa. Emegbe la, miayɔ Nabɔt
10 beselihlalisa amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, maqondana laye ukuthi afakaze emelene laye esithi: Uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Beselimkhuphela phandle limkhande ngamatshe aze afe.
eye miadi ame vlo eve siwo aka aʋatso ɖe Nabɔt si, atso enu be eƒo fi de Mawu kple fia la. Ekema miakplɔe do goe le dua me eye miaƒu kpee wòaku.”
11 Lamadoda alumuzi wakhe, abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini wakhe, benza njengokuthumela kukaJezebeli kuwo, njengokubhalwe ezincwadini ayewathumele zona.
Dumegãwo kple bubume siwo le dua me la wɔ nu si Yezebel ŋlɔ ɖo ɖa wo be woawɔ la.
12 Amemezela izilo lokudla, ahlalisa uNabothi phezulu kwabantu.
Woƒo ƒu ameawo eye wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Nabɔt.
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.
Ame eve aɖe siwo si dzitsinya nyui menɔ o la ka aʋatso ɖe Nabɔt si be eƒo fi de Mawu kple fia la. Ale wohee yi dua godo eye woƒu kpee wòku.
14 Basebethumela kuJezebeli besithi: UNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa.
Le esia megbe la, dumegãwo ɖo du ɖe Yezebel be Nabɔt ku.
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.
Esi Yezebel se be Nabɔt ku la, egblɔ na Ahab be, “Waingble si Nabɔt gbe be yemadzra na wò o la, fifia àte ŋu axɔe azɔ; Nabɔt ku!”
16 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esezwile ukuthi uNabothi ufile, uAhabi wasukuma ukwehlela esivinini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli, ukusithatha sibe ngesakhe.
Ale Ahab yi waingble la me be yeaxɔe wòazu ye tɔ.
17 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Ke Yehowa gblɔ na Eliya, Tisbitɔ be,
18 Sukuma wehle ukuhlangabeza uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya; khangela, usesivinini sikaNabothi, ehlele khona ukuze asithathe sibe ngesakhe.
“Yi Fia Ahab gbɔ le Samaria. Anɔ Nabɔt ƒe wainbɔ me, axɔe abe etɔe ene.
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.
Gblɔ nye nya siawo nɛ be, ‘Nabɔt wuwu mesɔ gbɔ na wò oa? Ɖe wòle be nàda adzoe hã? Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, avuwo ano wò ʋu le dua godo abe ale si wono Nabɔt tɔ ene!’”
20 UAhabi wasesithi kuElija: Ungificile yini, sitha sami? Wasesithi: Ngikutholile, ngoba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
Ahab gblɔ na Eliya be, “Oo nye futɔ, èke ɖe ŋunye!” Eliya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meke ɖe ŋuwò elabena ètsɔ ɖokuiwò dzra na nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
21 Khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi, ngiqothule inzalo yakho, ngiqume asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.
Mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava dziwò, matsrɔ̃ wò dzidzimeviwo eye maɖe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe ɖa le Ahab ŋu le Israel, eɖanye ablɔɖevi alo kluvi o.
22 Njalo ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya, ngenxa yesicunulo ongicunule ngaso, wenza uIsrayeli one.
Mawɔ wò aƒe abe Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi tɔ ene eye abe Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi tɔ ene elabena èdo dziku nam eye nèna Israel ge ɖe nu vɔ̃ me.
23 LangoJezebeli laye iNkosi yakhuluma isithi: Izinja zizamudla uJezebeli emthangaleni weJizereyeli.
“Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ nam ku ɖe Yezebel ŋuti be, ‘Avuwo aɖu Yezebel ƒe kukua le Yezreel ƒe gliwo gbɔ.’
24 OkaAhabi ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu.
“Avuwo aɖu Ahab ƒe aƒemetɔ siwo aku ɖe dua me eye dziƒoxeviwo aɖu esiwo aku ɖe gbedzi.”
25 Kodwa kakubanga khona onjengoAhabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, uJezebeli umkakhe amkhuthazayo.
Ame aɖeke meganɔ anyi kpɔ abe Ahab ene, ame si tsɔ eɖokui dzra na nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ le Yehowa ŋkume o elabena srɔ̃a Yezebel ye do ŋusẽe.
26 Wenza amanyala kakhulu ngokulandela izithombe, njengakho konke amaAmori akwenzayo, iNkosi eyawaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ewɔ ŋunyɔnu geɖewo to legbawo yomedzedze me abe Amoritɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israel ŋgɔ la ene.
27 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esizwa lamazwi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wafaka isaka phezu komzimba wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngesaka, wahamba buthakathaka.
Esi Ahab se nya siawo la, edze eƒe awuwo heta akpanya eye wotsi nu dɔ. Enɔ akpanya me henɔ yiyim nublanuitɔe.
28 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Eliya, Tisbitɔ la be,
29 Ubonile yini ukuthi uAhabi uzithobe phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuthi ezithobile phambi kwami kangiyikuletha ububi ensukwini zakhe; ensukwini zendodana yakhe ngizaletha lobububi endlini yakhe.
“Èkpɔ ale si Ahab bɔbɔ eɖokui le ŋkunye mea? Esi wòbɔbɔ eɖokui ta la, nyemahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e la vɛ le eƒe ŋkekewo me o, ke boŋ mahee va eƒe aƒe dzi le via ƒe ŋkekewo me.”
