1 Amakhosi 21
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNabothi umJizereyeli wayelesivini esasiseJizereyeli phansi kwesigodlo sikaAhabi inkosi yeSamariya.
EIA hoi kekahi mea mahope mai o ia mau mea, he malawaina ia Nabota no Iezereela, maloko ia o Iezereela, e pili ana i ka halealii o Ahaba ke alii o 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.
Olelo mai la o Ahaba ia Nabota, i mai la, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina, i lilo ia ia'u i mala laauikiai, no ka mea, e kokoke mai ana no ia i ko'u hale; a e haawi aku au nau i ka malawaina e oi aku kona mai kai mamua o keia: a i pono ia oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i ke kala e like kona waiwai me ia.
3 Kodwa uNabothi wathi kuAhabi: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngikunike ilifa labobaba.
I aku la o Nabota ia Ahaba, Na Iehova wau e hoole mai, i ole e haawi au i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe.
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.
Hele ae la hoi o Ahaba iloko o kona hale me ke kaumaha, a me ka huhu, no ka olelo a Nabota no Iezereela i olelo aku ai ia ia; no ka mea, ua olelo oia, Aole au e haawi aku i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe. Moe iho la oia ma kona wahi moe, haliu e aku i kona maka, aole hoi i ai i ka berena.
5 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesiza kuye wathi kuye: Kungani umoya wakho usineme ukuze ungadli ukudla?
Alaila hele ae la kana wahine o Iezebela io na la, ninau aku la hoi, No ke aha la e kaumaha nei kou uhane, i ole ai oe e ai i ka berena?
6 Wasesithi kuye: Ngoba ngikhulume loNabothi umJizereyeli ngithe kuye: Nginike isivini sakho ngemali, loba uba uthanda ngizakunika isivini esikhundleni saso; wasesithi: Kangiyikukunika isivini sami.
Hai mai la oia, No ka mea, ua olelo aku au ia Nabota no Iezereela, i ka i ana'ku ia ia, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina ia'u no ke kala; a, ina e makemake oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i kekahi malawaina e nona; a olelo mai la oia, Aole au e haawi i kuu malawaina ia oe.
7 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Khathesi nguwe obusa umbuso wakoIsrayeli? Vuka udle isinkwa, lenhliziyo yakho ithokoze; ngizakunika mina isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.
I aku la hoi o Iezebela kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoomalu nei anei oe i ke aupuni o ka Iseraela? E ala'e a e ai i ka berena, e olioli kou naau, na'u no e haawi i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela ia oe.
8 Wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo likaAhabi, wazidinda ngophawu lwakhe, wazithumela izincwadi ebadaleni lakuzikhulu, ababesemzini wakhe, behlala loNabothi.
Kakau iho la oia i na palapala ma ka inoa o Ahaba, a kau iho la i kona sila, a hoouna aku la i ua mau palapala la i na lunakahiko a me na haku na mea iloko o kona kulanakauhale, e noho ana me Nabota.
9 Wasebhala ezincwadini esithi: Memezelani izilo lokudla, limhlalise uNabothi ngaphezulu kwabantu;
Palapala ae la ia iloko o na palapala, i aku la, E kala aku i ka hookeai, a e hooku ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka;
10 beselihlalisa amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, maqondana laye ukuthi afakaze emelene laye esithi: Uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Beselimkhuphela phandle limkhande ngamatshe aze afe.
A e hooku hoi i na kanaka elua, i na keiki a Beliala, imua ona, e hoike ku e ia ia, e olelo ana, Ua hoi no wale oe i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe aku ia ia mawaho, a e hailuku ia ia i make ia.
11 Lamadoda alumuzi wakhe, abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini wakhe, benza njengokuthumela kukaJezebeli kuwo, njengokubhalwe ezincwadini ayewathumele zona.
Hana iho la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko a me na haku ka poe e noho ana ma kona kulanakauhale, e like me ka Iezebela i hoouna aku ai ia lakou, a e like me ka mea i kakauia maloko o na palapala ana i hoouna aku ai ia lakou.
12 Amemezela izilo lokudla, ahlalisa uNabothi phezulu kwabantu.
Kala ae la lakou i ka hookeai, a hooku ae la lakou ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka.
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.
A hele mai la na kanaka elua, na keiki a Beliala, a noho iho la imua ona: hoike ku e ae la ua mau kanaka la o Beliala ia ia, ia Nabota, ma ke alo o na kanaka, i ae la, Ua hoino wale o Nabota i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la lakou ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la lakou ia ia me na pohaku a make ia.
14 Basebethumela kuJezebeli besithi: UNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa.
Alaila hoouna mai la lakou io Iezebela la, i mai la, Ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make.
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.
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Iezebela ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make, i aku la o Iezebela ia Ahaba, E eu e komo i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, ka mea ana i haawi ole ai ia oe no ke kala; no ka mea, aole e ola ana o Nabota, aka, ua make no.
16 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esezwile ukuthi uNabothi ufile, uAhabi wasukuma ukwehlela esivinini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli, ukusithatha sibe ngesakhe.
Eia keia, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba, ua make o Nabota, ku ae la o Ahaba iluna e iho i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, e lawe ia nona.
17 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
18 Sukuma wehle ukuhlangabeza uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya; khangela, usesivinini sikaNabothi, ehlele khona ukuze asithathe sibe ngesakhe.
E eu, e iho ae oe e halawai me Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela, o ko Samaria; aia hoi ia maloko o ka malawaina o Nabota kahi i iho ai oia e komo.
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.
E olelo aku hoi oe ia ia, i ka i ana aku, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, Ua pepehi ae nei anei oe, a ua lawe hoi nou? A e olelo aku oe ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Ma kahi i palu ai o na ilio i ke koko o Nabota, malaila no e palu ai na ilio i kou koko, i kou ponoi no.
20 UAhabi wasesithi kuElija: Ungificile yini, sitha sami? Wasesithi: Ngikutholile, ngoba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
A olelo ae la o Ahaba ia Elia, Ua loaa anei au ia oe, e kuu enemi? I aku la o Elia, Ua loaa no ia'u, no ka mea, ua kuai lilo aku oe ia oe iho e hana ma ka hewa imua o Iehova.
21 Khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi, ngiqothule inzalo yakho, ngiqume asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.
Eia hoi, e hoili au i ka poino maluna ou, a e kaili ae au i kou hope, a e hooki aku au i na kane mai Ahaba aku, a me ka mea paa a me ka mea paa ole iloko o ka Iseraela.
22 Njalo ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya, ngenxa yesicunulo ongicunule ngaso, wenza uIsrayeli one.
A e hoohalike au i kau ohana me ka ohana a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a e like me ka ohana a Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia, no ka hoonaukiuki ana i hoohuhu mai ai oe ia'u, a i hoolilo ai hoi i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
23 LangoJezebeli laye iNkosi yakhuluma isithi: Izinja zizamudla uJezebeli emthangaleni weJizereyeli.
A no Iezebela kekahi i olelo mai ai o Iehova, i mai la, E ai na ilio ia Iezebela ma ka pa o Iezereela.
24 OkaAhabi ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu.
A o ko Ahaba mea make maloko o ke kulanakauhale, oia ka na ilio e ai ai; a o ka mea make ma kula, oia ka na manu o ka lewa e ai ai.
25 Kodwa kakubanga khona onjengoAhabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, uJezebeli umkakhe amkhuthazayo.
Aohe mea like me Ahaba, ka mea i kuai lilo aku ia ia iho e hana ma ka hewa, ma ke alo o Iehova, ka mea a Iezebela kana wahine i hooikaika aku ai.
26 Wenza amanyala kakhulu ngokulandela izithombe, njengakho konke amaAmori akwenzayo, iNkosi eyawaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Hana hoi oia i ka mea e inaina nui ia i kona hahai ana mamuli o na akuakii, e like me ka Amora i hana'i a pau, ka poe a Iehova i kipaku aku ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
27 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esizwa lamazwi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wafaka isaka phezu komzimba wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngesaka, wahamba buthakathaka.
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba i keia mau olelo, uhae ae la oia i kona kapa, a kau i ke kapa eleele i kona io, a hookeai iho. a moe iho la iloko o ke kapa eleele, a hele malie no hoi.
28 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuElija umTishibi lisithi:
Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
29 Ubonile yini ukuthi uAhabi uzithobe phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuthi ezithobile phambi kwami kangiyikuletha ububi ensukwini zakhe; ensukwini zendodana yakhe ngizaletha lobububi endlini yakhe.
Ke ike nei anei oe i ko Ahaba hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u? No kona hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u, aole au e lawe mai i ka poino, i kona mau la; aka, i na la o kana keiki e hoili ai au i ka poino maluna o kana ohana.
