1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto uNabothi umJizereyeli wayelesivini esasiseJizereyeli phansi kwesigodlo sikaAhabi inkosi yeSamariya.

Mago'a kna evutegeno Jezrieli kumate ne' Naboti'a Jezrieli kumatera, Sameria kini ne' Ahapu nomofo tavaonte waini hoza'a me'negeno kegava hu'ne.

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.

Hagi mago zupa kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno Nabotina antahige'ne, Waini hozakamo'a kumani'a tava'onte me'negu, namige'na nani'za hoza nentena, ana nona'a ete mago hoza knarema hu'neania kamige, mizanku'ma hananke'na mizasege haneno.

3 Kodwa uNabothi wathi kuAhabi: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngikunike ilifa labobaba.

Hianagi Naboti'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a negafampinti'ma erisantima hare'nenana zana, vahera omio huno hu'neanki'na onkamigahue.

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.

Higeno'a Ahapuna avugosamo'a evuneramigeno tusi rimpa neheno noma'arega vu'ne. Na'ankure Naboti'a huno, nenfampinti'ma erisantima hare'noa zana onkamigosue, huno hu'neazanku anara hu'ne. Anama higeno'a Ahapu'a kavera oneno avugosa rukrehe huno tafe'are mase'ne.

5 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesiza kuye wathi kuye: Kungani umoya wakho usineme ukuze ungadli ukudla?

Hianagi nenaro Jesebeli'a eazamo amanage huno eme antahige'ne, na'anku kavugosamo'a evuneramigenka kavera nonane?

6 Wasesithi kuye: Ngoba ngikhulume loNabothi umJizereyeli ngithe kuye: Nginike isivini sakho ngemali, loba uba uthanda ngizakunika isivini esikhundleni saso; wasesithi: Kangiyikukunika isivini sami.

Higeno amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Na'ankure Jezrieli kumateti ne' Naboti'na amanage hu'na antahige'noe, waini hozaka'a namige'na hoza nentena, ana nona'a ete mago hoza kamige, mizanku'ma hananke'na mizasege haneno hu'na huana, i'o onkamigosue huno hu'ne.

7 UJezebeli umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Khathesi nguwe obusa umbuso wakoIsrayeli? Vuka udle isinkwa, lenhliziyo yakho ithokoze; ngizakunika mina isivini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.

Higeno nenaro, Jesebeli'a amanage huno asami'ne, kagra Israeli kinia mani'nenka Israeli vahera kegava huzmantenananki, otinka ne'zana nenenka atregeno karimpamo'a kna osino. Jezrieli kumateti ne' Naboti waini hoza omeri kamigahue.

8 Wasebhala izincwadi ngebizo likaAhabi, wazidinda ngophawu lwakhe, wazithumela izincwadi ebadaleni lakuzikhulu, ababesemzini wakhe, behlala loNabothi.

Anage nehuno Naboti'ma nemania kumate ranra vahetamintegane kva vahe'teganena mago avo kreno Ahapu azanko avo rukamare nenteno atregeno vu'ne.

9 Wasebhala ezincwadini esithi: Memezelani izilo lokudla, limhlalise uNabothi ngaphezulu kwabantu;

Hagi ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne. Ne'zana atreta nunamu hu kne huta maka vahetamina kehu atru hinke'za atruma hanageta, Nabotina agesga huta ese trate hinkeno, vahetmimofo zamavuga manino.

10 beselihlalisa amadoda amabili, amadodana kaBheliyali, maqondana laye ukuthi afakaze emelene laye esithi: Uthuke uNkulunkulu lenkosi. Beselimkhuphela phandle limkhande ngamatshe aze afe.

Ana nehuta mago kaziga kefo netre huznantenkeno, umanineke Nabotinkura, Anumzamofone kini ne'enena huhaviza hu'ne huke hunte'o. Hagi anagema hanageta, Nabotina avre atiramita have knonu ahe friho.

11 Lamadoda alumuzi wakhe, abadala lezikhulu ababehlala emzini wakhe, benza njengokuthumela kukaJezebeli kuwo, njengokubhalwe ezincwadini ayewathumele zona.

Hagi anankema nentahi'za ana kumapi ranra vahe'ene, kva vahe'mo'za Jesebeli'ma avoma krezamino'ma hiho huno'ma hiaza hu'naze.

12 Amemezela izilo lokudla, ahlalisa uNabothi phezulu kwabantu.

Hagi ne'za atreno nunamu hu kna erintazageno, vahe'ma atruma haza vahetmimofo zamavuga Nabotina ese trate avrente'naze.

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.

Hagi tare kefo netremokea Naboti'ma mania tra'mofo kantikaziga emanike amanage huka Nabotina havigea hunte'na'e. Naboti'a Anumzamofone, kini ne'enena huhaviza huzanante'ne. Hagi anagema hakeno'a, Nabotina rankumapintira avre'atirami'za havenknonu ahe fri'naze.

14 Basebethumela kuJezebeli besithi: UNabothi usekhandwe ngamatshe wafa.

Hagi ana'ma nehu'za ana kumapi kva vahe'mo'za Jesebelintega amanage hu'za kea atre'naze, Nabotina hago havenknonu ahe frunkeno fri'ne, hu'za kea atrente'naze.

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.

Hagi Jesebeli'ma ana kema nentahino'a, amanage huno Ahapuna asami'ne, Jezrieliti ne' Naboti'ma zagore'ma kami zanku'ma i'o huno'ma hu'nea ne'mofo waini hoza otinka omerio. Na'ankure agra omani'neanki, hago fri'ne.

16 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esezwile ukuthi uNabothi ufile, uAhabi wasukuma ukwehlela esivinini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli, ukusithatha sibe ngesakhe.

Hagi Naboti'ma frie nanekema Ahapu'ma nentahino'a, ana waini hoza omeri nafa'a hunaku urami'ne.

17 Kwasekufika ilizwi leNkosi kuElija umTishibi lisithi:

Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Tisbe kumateti kasnampa ne' Elaijana asami'ne,

18 Sukuma wehle ukuhlangabeza uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya; khangela, usesivinini sikaNabothi, ehlele khona ukuze asithathe sibe ngesakhe.

Otinka vunka Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a Sameriama nemania ne'mo, Naboti waini hoza erinaku ana hozafi umani'neanki uraminka ome negenka,

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.

amanage hunka ome asamio, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, kagrama Nabotima ahenka hoza'ama enerinka korama'a eriraginanku, kramo'zama Naboti korama hu'zama naza kumate, anahukna hu'za kramo'za kagri korana hu'za negahaze hunka ome asamio.

20 UAhabi wasesithi kuElija: Ungificile yini, sitha sami? Wasesithi: Ngikutholile, ngoba uzithengisile ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.

Higeno vigeno Ahapu'a amanage huno Elaijankura hu'ne, Ha' vahenimoka nagrira eme nagenka erifore hane. Anage higeno Elaija'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Izo kagriku hake'na e'noe. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo avurera kefo kavukava hu'nane.

21 Khangela, ngizakwehlisela ububi, ngiqothule inzalo yakho, ngiqume asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.

E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Kagrira rama'a hazenke kamigahue. Hagi Ahapuga kagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahera amne vahe'ene, kazokzo vahe'enena maka zamahe vagaregahue.

22 Njalo ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya, ngenxa yesicunulo ongicunule ngaso, wenza uIsrayeli one.

Hagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu naga'ene, Ahiza nemofo Ba-asa naga'enema hu'noaza hu'na kagri nagara zamahe hana hugahue. Na'ankure kagra tusiza hunka nazeri narimpa nehenka, Israeli vahera zamazeri kumipina zamante'nane.

23 LangoJezebeli laye iNkosi yakhuluma isithi: Izinja zizamudla uJezebeli emthangaleni weJizereyeli.

Hagi Jesebelinkura amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne, Jesebeli avufga kramo'za Jesrieli kuma keginamofo agu'afi negahaze.

24 OkaAhabi ofela phakathi komuzi zizamudla izinja, lofela egangeni zizamudla inyoni zamazulu.

Hagi Ahapu nagapinti'ma rankuma agu'afima frisaza vahera kramo'za nesageno, megi'ama frisnaza vahera namamo'za negahaze.

25 Kodwa kakubanga khona onjengoAhabi owazithengisa ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, uJezebeli umkakhe amkhuthazayo.

Hagi Ahapu nenaro Jesebeli'ma havi antahintahi amino azeri savari'ma Ahapu'ma higeno, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma havi avu'ava'ma hu'neankna avu'avara mago vahe'mo'e huno kora osu'neaza hu'ne.

26 Wenza amanyala kakhulu ngokulandela izithombe, njengakho konke amaAmori akwenzayo, iNkosi eyawaxotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

Hagi ko'ma Israeli vahe'ma ome'nazageno ana mopafima Amori vahe'ma mani'nezama haviza huno kasrino agote avu'ava'ma nehazageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe natitre'neankna huno kaza osu havi anumzantaminte Ahapu'a monora ome hunte'ne.

27 Kwasekusithi uAhabi esizwa lamazwi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wafaka isaka phezu komzimba wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngesaka, wahamba buthakathaka.

Hianagi Ahapu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, kukena'a tagato huno zamasunku'ma nehu'za atafa kukenama nehaza kukena eri nehuno, kavera a'o huno mani'ne. Hagi kenage'enena ana kukena antanino mase'neno, tusi asunku hu'ne.

28 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuElija umTishibi lisithi:

Hagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Tisbe kumateti ne' Elaijana asami'ne,

29 Ubonile yini ukuthi uAhabi uzithobe phambi kwami? Ngenxa yokuthi ezithobile phambi kwami kangiyikuletha ububi ensukwini zakhe; ensukwini zendodana yakhe ngizaletha lobububi endlini yakhe.

Nagri navugama Ahapu'ma agu'ama erinteramino asunku'ma hiazana hago kano. Na'ankure agra agu'ama erinteramino navuga asunku hianki'na agri knafina ana hazenke zana eriforera osugahuanki, mofavre'amofo knafi ana hazenke zana eri fore hugahue.
