2 Amakhosi 9
1 UElisha umprofethi wasebiza omunye wamadodana abaprofethi wathi kuye: Bopha ukhalo lwakho, uthathe lumfuma wamafutha esandleni sakho, uye eRamothi-Gileyadi.
Nnabbi Erisa n’ayita omu ku bannabbi abato n’amugamba nti, “Weesibe ekimyu, otwale eccupa eno ey’amafuta, ogende nayo e Lamosugireyaadi.
2 Nxa ufika khona udinge lapho uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi indodana kaNimshi, ungene, umsukumise phakathi kwabafowabo, umngenise ekamelweni elingaphakathi.
Bw’otuuka eyo, onoonye Yeeku mutabani wa Yekosafaati, muzzukulu wa Nimusi, omuggye mu banne, omutwale mu kisenge eky’omunda.
3 Ubusuthatha umfuma wamafutha, uwathele ekhanda lakhe uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli. Ubusuvula umnyango, ubaleke, ungaphuzi.
Oddire eccupa ey’amafuta, ogafuke ku mutwe gwe, oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.’ Oluvannyuma oggulewo oluggi odduke, so tolwawo n’akatono.”
4 Lahamba-ke ijaha lelo, ijaha umprofethi, laya eRamothi-Gileyadi.
Awo omuvubuka nnabbi n’agenda e Lamosugireyaadi.
5 Ekufikeni kwalo, khangela, induna zebutho zazihlezi, lathi: Ngilombiko kuwe, nduna. UJehu wasesithi: Kubani phakathi kwethu sonke? Laselisithi: Kuwe, nduna.
Bwe yatuuka, n’asanga ng’abaserikale abakulu ab’omu ggye bakuŋŋaanye n’ayogera nti, “Nnina obubaka bwo, ssebo omuduumizi.” Yeeku n’amubuuza nti, “Bw’ani ku ffe ffenna?” N’amuddamu nti, “Bubwo, ggwe omuduumizi.”
6 Wasesukuma, wangena endlini; laselithela amafutha ekhanda lakhe, lathi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Ngikugcobile ukuthi ube yinkosi phezu kwabantu beNkosi, phezu kukaIsrayeli.
Yeeku n’asituka n’ayingira mu nnyumba, nnabbi n’amufukako amafuta, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka w’abantu ba Mukama, Abayisirayiri.
7 Njalo uzatshaya indlu kaAhabi inkosi yakho, ukuze ngiphindisele igazi lenceku zami abaprofethi, legazi lazo zonke inceku zeNkosi, esandleni sikaJezebeli.
Olizikiriza ennyumba ya Akabu mukama wo, nga mpalana eggwanga olw’omusaayi gw’abaddu ba Mukama bonna, Yezeberi gwe yayiwa.
8 Yonke-ke indlu kaAhabi izabhubha; njalo ngizaquma asuke kuAhabi ochamela emdulini, lovalelweyo lokhululekileyo koIsrayeli.
Ennyumba yonna eya Akabu erisaanyizibwawo, era ndizikiririza ddala buli mwana wabulenzi, oba muddu oba wa ddembe mu Isirayiri.
9 Njalo ngizakwenza indlu kaAhabi njengendlu kaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati lanjengendlu kaBahasha indodana kaAhiya.
Ndifuula ennyumba ya Akabu okuba ng’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, era n’okufaanana ng’ennyumba ya Baasa mutabani wa Akiya.
10 Lezinja zizakudla uJezebeli esabelweni seJizereyeli, njalo kakuyikuba lomngcwabayo. Laselivula umnyango, labaleka.
N’embwa ziririira Yezeberi mu kibanja eky’e Yezuleeri era tewaliba muntu n’omu amuziika.’” Oluvannyuma olw’okwogera ebyo n’aggulawo oluggi n’adduka.
11 Kwathi uJehu esephumele encekwini zenkosi yakhe, omunye wathi kuye: Kulungile yini? Luzeleni loluhlanya kuwe? Wasesithi kuzo: Liyamazi lumuntu lenkulumo yakhe.
Yeeku bwe yafuluma okugenda eri bakungu banne, omu ku bo n’amubuuza nti, “Kiri bulungi? Omulalu oyo abadde akunoonyeza ki?” Yeeku n’addamu nti, “Omusajja mumumanyi n’enjogera ye mugimanyi.”
12 Zasezisithi: Manga! Sitshele khathesi. Wasesithi: Ukhulume ukuthi lokuthi kimi esithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Ekyo si kituufu! Tutegeeze amazima.” Yeeku n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’aŋŋambye nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.’”
13 Zaseziphangisa, zathatha, ngulowo lalowo isembatho sakhe, zazibeka ngaphansi kwakhe engqongeni yezikhwelo, zavuthela uphondo, zathi: UJehu uyinkosi!
Ne banguwa okuggyako eminagiro gyabwe, ne bagyaliira wansi ku madaala, ne bafuuwa ekkondeere, nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Yeeku ye kabaka.”
14 Ngokunjalo uJehu indodana kaJehoshafathi indodana kaNimshi wamenzela ugobe uJoramu. (UJoramu wagcina-ke iRamothi-Gileyadi, yena loIsrayeli wonke, ngenxa kaHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya;
Awo Yeeku mutabani wa Yekosafaati, muzzukulu wa Nimusi n’asalira Yolaamu olukwe. Yolaamu wamu ne Isirayiri yenna baali bakuuma e Lamosugireyaadi, Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli aleme okubalumba.
15 kodwa uJehoramu inkosi wayesebuyelele ukwelatshwa eJizereyeli ngamanxeba amaSiriya ayemtshaye wona ekulweni kwakhe loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya.) UJehu wasesithi: Aluba kuyintando yenu, kakungaphumi ophunyukileyo emzini ukuyabika lokhu eJizereyeli.
Naye Yolaamu yali azeeyo e Yezuleeri okujjanjabibwa ebiwundu Abasuuli bye baali bamutaddeko, mu kulwanagana ne Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Yeeku n’ayogera nti, “Bwe muba nga bwe mutyo bwe muwulira, kale waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna atoloka okuva mu kibuga anaabunyisa amawulire mu Yezuleeri.”
16 UJehu wasekhwela inqola, waya eJizereyeli, ngoba uJoramu wayelele khona, loAhaziya inkosi yakoJuda wayehle ukuthi abone uJoramu.
N’alinnya mu ggaali lye, n’agenda e Yezuleeri, kubanga Yolaamu yali awummulidde eyo, nga ne Akaziya aserengese okugenda okumulabako.
17 Umlindi wayemi-ke emphotshongweni eJizereyeli, wabona ixuku likaJehu, yena esiza, wathi: Ngibona ixuku. UJehoramu wathi: Thatha umgadi webhiza umthume ukubahlangabeza, athi: Yikuthula yini?
Awo omukuumi eyali mu kigo mu Yezuleeri, bwe yalengera ekibinja kya Yeeku nga kijja, n’akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, “Waliwo ekibinja kye nnengera ekijja.” Yolaamu n’alagira nti, “Mufune omu ku beebagala embalaasi, mumutume agende abasisinkane, ababuuze nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’”
18 Wasehamba umgadi webhiza ukumhlangabeza, wathi: Itsho njalo inkosi: Yikuthula yini? UJehu wasesithi: Ulani lokuthula? Phendukela ngemva kwami. Umlindi wasebika esithi: Isithunywa sesifikile kibo, kodwa kasiphenduki.
Awo eyeebagala embalaasi n’agenda okusisinkana Yeeku, n’amugamba nti, “Kabaka abuuza nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Emirembe ogifaako ki? Kyuka odde ennyuma wange ongoberere.” Omukuumi eyali mu kigo n’ayogera nti, “Atuuse gye bali, naye tadda.”
19 Yasithuma umgadi webhiza wesibili, wafika kibo wathi: Itsho njalo inkosi: Yikuthula yini? UJehu wasesithi: Ulani lokuthula? Phendukela ngemva kwami.
Awo kabaka n’atuma eyeebagala embalaasi owookubiri. Bwe yatuuka we baali, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Emirembe ogifaako ki? Kyuka odde ennyuma wange ongoberere.”
20 Umlindi wasebika wathi: Usefikile kibo, kodwa kaphenduki. Lokutshayela kufanana lokutshayela kukaJehu indodana kaNimshi, ngoba utshayela okohlanya.
Omukuumi n’addamu n’ayogera nti, “Oli naye atuuse, gye bali, naye tadda. N’enneebagala y’embalaasi efaanana ng’enneebala ya Yeeku muzzukulu wa Nimusi, kubanga enneebagala ye yakiralu.”
21 UJehoramu wasesithi: Bophelani. Basebebophela inqola yakhe. UJehoramu inkosi yakoIsrayeli loAhaziya inkosi yakoJuda basebephuma, ngulowo lalowo enqoleni yakhe, baphuma ukuhlangabeza uJehu, bamthola esiqintini sikaNabothi umJizereyeli.
Yolaamu n’ayogera nti, “Muteeketeeke eggaali lyange.” Bwe baamala okuliteekateeka, Yolaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda, ne bafuluma ekibuga, buli omu ng’ali mu ggaali lye, ne bagenda okusisinkana Yeeku, era baamusisinkanira mu nnimiro eyali eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri.
22 Kwasekusithi uJehoramu ebona uJehu wathi: Yikuthula yini, Jehu? Wasesithi: Ukuthula bani, selokhu ukuwula kukaJezebeli unyoko lokuthakatha kwakhe kukunengi kangaka?
Awo Yolaamu bwe yalaba Yeeku, n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe Yeeku?” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Kiyinzika kitya okubaawo emirembe, nga wakyaliwo obwenzi n’obulogo bwa nnyoko Yezeberi?”
23 UJehoramu wasephendula izandla zakhe wabaleka, wathi kuAhaziya: Yinkohliso, Ahaziya!
Amangwago Yolaamu n’akyusa n’adduka, ng’akoowoola Akaziya ng’agamba nti, “Akaziya waliwo olukwe!”
24 UJehu wasedonsisisa idandili, watshaya uJehoramu phakathi kweziphanga zakhe, lomtshoko waphuma enhliziyweni yakhe, wasekhothama enqoleni yakhe.
Awo Yeeku n’aggyayo omutego gwe n’obusaale bwe, n’amaanyi ge gonna n’anaanuula omutego n’alasa Yolaamu mu kibegabega, akasaale ne kafumita omutima gwe, n’agwa mu ggaali lye.
25 Wasesithi kuBidikari induna yakhe: Mphakamise, umphosele esiqintini sensimu kaNabothi umJizereyeli; ngoba khumbula mina lawe sigade sobabili ngemva kukaAhabi uyise, iNkosi yamethesa lumthwalo:
Yeeku n’agamba Bidukali, omugoba we ggaali lye nti, “Mumuggyeemu, mumusuule mu nnimiro eyali eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri. Ojjukira bwe twali tuvugira amagaali gaffe emabega wa Akabu kitaawe, Mukama n’ayogera nti ekintu kino kirimutuukako.
26 Ngibonile isibili izolo igazi likaNabothi legazi lamadodana akhe, itsho iNkosi, ngizaphindisela kuwe kulesisiqinti, itsho iNkosi. Ngakho-ke mphakamise umphosele kulesisiqinti, njengokwelizwi leNkosi.
‘Mazima ddala, nga jjo bwe nnalabye omusaayi gwa Nabosi n’omusaayi gw’abaana be, siireme kukusasulira mu kibanja kino kyennyini,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. Kaakano mumusitule mumusuule mu kibanja ekyo ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kiri.”
27 UAhaziya inkosi yakoJuda esebonile lokhu wabaleka, ngendlela yendlu yesivande. UJehu wasexotshana laye, wathi: Mtshayeni laye enqoleni, emqansweni weGuri elingaseIbileyamu. Wasebalekela eMegido, wafela khona.
Awo Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda bwe yalaba ebyabaawo, n’addukira mu kkubo ery’omu nnyumba ey’ennimiro. Yeeku n’amugoba, nga bw’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Naye mumutte!” Ne bamulasa, ne bamuleetako ekiwundu ng’addukira e Guli ekiriraanye Ibuleamu, ng’ali mu ggaali lye, naye n’asobola okutuuka e Megiddo, era eyo gye yafiira.
28 Inceku zakhe zasezimthwala zamusa eJerusalema, zamngcwaba engcwabeni lakhe kuboyise emzini kaDavida.
Abaddu be ne bateeka omulambo gwe mu ggaali ne bagutwala e Yerusaalemi, ne bamuziika mu ntaana ye ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
29 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye kaJoramu indodana kaAhabi, uAhaziya waba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu, Akaziya n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
30 UJehu esefikile eJizereyeli, uJezebeli wakuzwa. Wasecomba amehlo akhe, wacecisa ikhanda lakhe, walunguza ngewindi.
Yeeku n’agenda Yezeberi gye yali, Yezeberi n’akimanya, n’asiiga amaaso ge, n’alongoosa enviiri ze, n’atunula ebweru ng’asinziira mu ddirisa.
31 Lapho-ke uJehu engena esangweni, wasesithi: Yikuthula yini, Zimri, mbulali wenkosi yakho?
Awo Yeeku bwe yali ng’ayingirira mu wankaaki, Yezeberi n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe, ggwe Zimuli, eyatemula mukama wo?”
32 Wasephakamisela ubuso bakhe ewindini, wathi: Ngubani ongakimi? Ngubani? Kwasekulunguza kuye abathenwa ababili, abathathu.
Yeeku n’ayimusa amaaso ge waggulu, n’akoowoola ng’abuuza nti, “Ani ali ku ludda lwange? Ani?” Abalaawe babiri oba basatu ne balingiza mu ddirisa.
33 Wasesithi: Mphoseleni phansi. Basebemphosela phansi; lelinye legazi lakhe lachaphakela emdulini lemabhizeni; wasemnyathelela phansi.
N’ayogera nti, “Mumusuule wansi!” Ne bamusuula wansi, n’omusaayi gwe ogumu ne gumansukira ekisenge ne ku mbalaasi, n’okumulinyirira ne zimulinnyirira.
34 Wasengena wadla wanatha, wathi: Ake libone lo umqalekiswakazi limngcwabe, ngoba uyindodakazi yenkosi.
Awo Yeeku n’ayingira, n’alya era n’anywa. N’ayogera nti, “Mulabirire omulambo gw’omukazi oyo eyakolimirwa, era mulabe nga guziikibwa kubanga yali mumbejja.”
35 Basebesiyamngcwaba, kodwa kabaficanga lutho olwakhe ngaphandle kokhakhayi lenyawo lempama zezandla.
Naye bwe bagutuukako, tebaalina kye basangawo okuggyako akawanga ke, n’ebigere bye, n’ebibatu by’emikono gye.
36 Ngakho babuyela bamtshela; wasesithi: Leli yilizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla senceku yayo uElija umTishibi lisithi: Esiqintini seJizereyeli izinja zizakudla inyama kaJezebeli;
Ne baddayo eri Yeeku ne bamutegeeza. N’abagamba nti, “Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama, kye yayogerera mu muddu we Eriya Omutisubi ng’agamba nti, ‘Mu kibangirizi ky’e Yezuleeri, embwa mwe ziririira omulambo gwa Yezeberi.
37 lesidumbu sikaJezebeli sizakuba njengomquba ebusweni bomhlabathi esiqintini seJizereyeli, ukuze bangathi: Lo nguJezebeli.
Era omulambo gwa Yezeberi guliba ng’obusa ku ttale mu kibangirizi ky’e Yezuleeri, omuntu yenna aleme okugamba nti, Ono ye Yezeberi.’”
