1 UAbhimeleki indodana kaJerubali wasesiya eShekema kubafowabo bakanina, wakhuluma kibo lakusendo lonke lwendlu kayise kanina, esithi:

2 Ake likhulume endlebeni zabo bonke abahlali beShekemalithi: Yikuphi okungcono kini ukuthi wonke amadodana kaJerubali amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa alibuse, kumbe indoda eyodwa ilibuse? Khumbulani futhi ukuthi ngilithambo lenu lenyama yenu.
Mika Sekemu kumate kva vahetamima mani'naza vahe'motafi ama nanekea nehue, Gidionina ana mika 70'a mofavre'aramimo kegava huramante'nie nehazafi, magokemo kegava huramantenigeno knarera hugahie huta nehaze? Tamagra tamagesa antahiho, nagara tamagri kora mani'noe.
3 Labafowabo bakanina bamkhulumela ezindlebeni zabo bonke abahlali beShekema wonke la amazwi. Inhliziyo yabo yeyamela ukumlandela uAbhimeleki, ngoba bathi: Ungumfowethu.
E'inage hige'za Abimeleki anokahemo'za agri agi eri'za maka Sekemu kumapima mani'naza vahetega kea atrazageno vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi ana kumapi vahe'mo'zama ana nanekema nentahiza Abimeleki'a tagri kora mani'ne nehu'za agri kaziga mani'naze.
4 Bamnika inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa ezavela endlini kaBhali-Berithi; uAbhimeleki waseqhatsha ngazo abantu abayize labangakhathaliyo abamlandelayo.
Anama nehu'za Bal-Berit havi anumzamofo mono nompintira 70'a silva zago Abimelekina erimi'naze. Hagi ana zagoa Abimeleki'a erino hazenke vahetami mi'za huzmanteno zamavarege'za agri amage ante'za avariri'za vu'naze.
5 Wasesiya endlini kayise eOfira, wabulala abafowabo amadodana kaJerubali, amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa, phezu kwedwala elilodwa; kodwa uJothamu indodana elicinathunjana kaJerubali wasala, ngoba wacatsha.
Hagi Abimeleki'a nefa kumate Ofra vuno 70'a Jerubali ne' mofavre zagaramina magoke have agofetu ome zamahe'ne. Hianagi amite'na ne'amo Jotamu'a koro freno ome fraki'ne.
6 Labo bonke abahlali beShekema labo bonke abeBeti-Milo babuthana, bahamba bamenza wabusa uAbhimeleki abe yinkosi, esihlahleni se-okhi esamiswa siseShekema.
Hagi anama higeno'a Sekemu kumateti'ene Beth-Milo kumateti kva vahe'mo'za Sekemu kumate vu'za, oki zafa agafare'ma zafa retruma rente'ne'za mono'ma hunentazare omeri atru hute'za, Abimelekina kinia azeri oti'naze.
7 Lapho bemtshela uJothamu, wayakuma phezu kwengqonga yentaba yeGerizimi, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wamemeza wathi kibo: Ngizwani bahlali beShekema ukuze uNkulunkulu alizwe.
Hagi Jotamu'ma anazama haza zmagenkema nentahino'a, Gerisimi agonare marerino amanage huno kezana ati'ne. Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mota keni'a antahiho. Anumzamo'ma ketimima antahinie hanuta nagri kea antahiho.

14 Izihlahla zonke zasezisithi embabazaneni: Woza wena usibuse.
Hagi anagema hige'za ave'ave nofikura amanage hu'naze, Ave'ave nofimoka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
15 Imbabazane yasisithi ezihlahleni: Uba ngeqiniso lingigcoba ngibe yinkosi phezu kwenu, wozani lidinge ukuvikelwa emthunzini wami; uba kungenjalo-ke, umlilo uzaphuma embabazaneni udle izihlahla zemisedari zeLebhanoni.
Anage'ma hu'za antahigazageno'a, ave'ave nofi'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Tamagema huta tamagu'areti'ma kinima nazeri otisuta, eta nagri turunampinka emaniho. Hagi ana'ma osanazana ana ave'ave trazampinti tevemo'a eno Lebanoni sida zafaramina teno erihana hugahie!
16 Ngakho khathesi, uba likwenzile ngeqiniso langokuthembeka ukuthi libekile uAbhimeleki abe yinkosi, lokuthi uba lenzile okuhle ngoJerubali langendlu yakhe, lokuthi uba lenze kuye ngokufanele izandla zakhe;
Anante Jotamu'a mago'ane amanage huno hu'ne, Abimelekima kinima azeri oti'zana tamagra knare'za huta azeri onetizo? Hagi Jerubali'ene naga'amo'zanena tamagrira knare'za hu'za tamaza hu'nazanagi, tamagra knare'za huntazafi haviza huntaze?
17 ngoba ubaba walilwela, walahlela khatshana impilo yakhe, walophula esandleni samaMidiyani;
Na'ankure nenfa Jerubali'a agra avufgagura ontahi hara huno Midieni vahe zamazampinti tamagu'vazi'ne.
18 kodwa lina seliyivukele indlu kababa lamuhla, labulala amadodana akhe, amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa, phezu kwedwala elilodwa, labeka uAbhimeleki indodana yencekukazi yakhe ukuthi abe yinkosi yabahlali beShekema, ngoba engumfowenu;
Hianagi menina nenfane naga'anena hara rezamanteta 70'a ne' mofavreramima'a magoke have agofetu zamahe vagare'naze. Ana nehuta eri'za a'amofo mofavrea Abimelekina Sekemu kinia azeri oti'naze. Na'ankure agra tamagripinti fore hu'negu anara hu'naze.
19 uba-ke ngeqiniso langokuthembeka lenzile ngoJerubali langendlu yakhe ngalolusuku, thokozani ngoAbhimeleki, laye athokoze ngani.
Hagi menima tamagrama haza avu'avamo'a Jerubaline naga'are'enema knare'ma huno fatgoma hu'ne'nigeta, Abimeleki'enena musena nehinkeno, agra'enena musena tamagri'enena hino.
20 Kodwa uba kungenjalo, kakuphume umlilo kuAbhimeleki udle abahlali beShekema leBeti-Milo, njalo kakuphume umlilo kubahlali beShekema leBeti-Milo udle uAbhimeleki.
Hianagi tamagrama knare huno fatgo osu' avu'ava'ma hu'nena zana Abimelekimpinti tevemo'a atiramino Sekemu kumate kva vahe'ene Bet-Milo kumate kva vahetmina tehana nehanigeno, Sekemu kumate kva vahe'tamimpinti'ene Bet-Milo kumate kva vahepinti tevemo'a atiramino Abimelekina tegahie.
21 UJothamu wasephunyuka wabaleka, waya eBeri, wahlala khona, ngenxa kaAbhimeleki umfowabo.
Hagi Jotamu'ma anagema huteno'a, koro freno Beri kumate umani'ne. Na'ankure Abimeleki'ma ahezanku koro freno vu'ne.
22 Kwathi uAbhimeleki esebuse uIsrayeli iminyaka emithathu,
Ana'ma hutegeno'a Abimeleki'a 3'a kafu Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne.
23 uNkulunkulu wathuma umoya omubi phakathi kukaAbhimeleki labahlali beShekema, njalo abahlali beShekema baziphatha ngokungathembeki kuAbhimeleki,
Hagi Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno Abimelekine Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mofo amu'nompi emaninege'za, Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Abimelekina azeri amuho hu'naze.
24 ukuze udlakela olwenziwa kumadodana kaJerubali angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lubuyele, legazi libekwe phezu kukaAbhimeleki umfowabo owawabulalayo, laphezu kwabahlali beShekema ababeqinise izandla zakhe ukubulala abafowabo.
Anumzamo'a knazana atregeno Abimelekinte'ene Sekemu kumate kva vahetaminte'ene e'ne. Na'ankure Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Abimelekina aza hazageno, Gidionina afuhe'ima 70'a ne'mofavre'zaga zamahenegu anara hu'ne.
25 Abahlali beShekema basebembekela abacathameli ezingqongeni zezintaba, baphanga bonke ababebedlula ngaleyondlela; uAbhimeleki wasekubikelwa.
Hagi Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za mago'a vahera agonafi Abimelekima esigura kankafo ome ante'za mani'ne'za, ami'mi hu'za kante'ma enevaza vahera keonkezazmi zamahe'za hanare'naze. Hianagi anazama haza nanekea Abimelekina eme asami'naze.
26 UGahali indodana kaEbedi wasesiza labafowabo, bedlulela eShekema; njalo abahlali beShekema bamthemba.
Hagi mago zupa Ebedi nemofo Gali'a afu'aganahe'zane Sekemu kumate vu'ne. E'inama higeno'a Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Galina antahimi'za amage ante'naze.
27 Basebephuma baya emasimini, bakha izithelo zamavini ezivinini zabo, bazinyathela, benza indumiso, bangena endlini kankulunkulu wabo, badla banatha, bamthuka uAbhimeleki.
Hagi ne'zama vasage knare'ma musema hu knafina Sekemu vahe'mo'za waini raga tagi'za rerati'za tima'a eri'za havi anumzazmimofo mono nompi vu'za, ana tine ne'zanena nene'za Abimelekina huhaviza hunte'naze.
28 UGahali indodana kaEbedi wasesithi: Ungubani uAbhimeleki njalo ungubani uShekema ukuthi simsebenzele? Kasindodana kaJerubali yini, loZebuli induna yayo? Sebenzelani amadoda kaHamori uyise kaShekema. Ngoba thina sizamsebenzelelani?
Hagi Ebedi nemofo Gali'a amanage hu'ne, Sekemu vahera Hamori tazeri fore hu'ne. Hagi Abimeleki'a agra inanknahu ne' mani'nesigeta tagra Sekemu vahe'mota agri kvafina manigahune? Hagi Abimeleki'a Jeru-Bali nemofo manigeno eri'za vahe'a Zebuli mani'ne. Tagra Sekemu kumamofo nefa, Hamori mofavrerami mani'nonanki, nagafare Abimeleki eri'za vahera manigahune?
29 Sengathi ngabe lababantu bebesesandleni sami, bengizamkhupha-ke uAbhimeleki. Wasesithi kuAbhimeleki: Yandisa ibutho lakho, uphume.
Hagi nagrama ama Sekemu vahe'ma kegavama huresina Abimelekina ahe kasonepe'na amanage hu'na huntegahue, sondia vaheka'a ome avrenka ha' eme hunanto hu'na huresine.
30 Kwathi uZebuli umbusi womuzi esizwa amazwi kaGahali indodana kaEbedi, ulaka lwakhe lwavutha.
Hianagi ana rankumate kva ne' Zebuli'ma, Ebedi nemofo Gali nanekema nentahino'a, tusi arimpa ahe'ne.
31 Wathuma izithunywa kuAbhimeleki ngobuqili, esithi: Khangela, uGahali indodana kaEbedi labafowabo bafikile eShekema, khangela-ke, sebeqinisa umuzi ukumelana lawe.
Anama higeno'a eri'za vahe oku'a huzmantege'za vu'za anage hu'za Abimelekina ome asmi'naze, Ebedi nemofo Gali'a afu'aganahezane eno, Sekemu kumate vahera ha'huzamantenogu zamarimpa eme nere.
32 Khathesi-ke sukuma ebusuku wena labantu abalawe, uyecathama egangeni.
E'ina hu'negu sondia vaheka'ane kenage eta kankafona eme hu'nenkeno,
33 Kuzakuthi-ke ekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga, uvuke ngovivi uwuhlasele umuzi; khangela, lapho yena labantu abalaye bephuma ukumelana lawe, uzakwenza kuye njengalokho isandla sakho esikutholayo.
nanterama rumasama huno zagema hanati'nigeta tamagareta ana kumapina vinkeno, ana kumapinti vahe'ma ha'ma huramantenaku'ma esazana anante tamagrama tamagesama antahisaza zana hugahaze.
34 UAbhimeleki wasesukuma labo bonke abantu ababelaye, ebusuku, basebeyicathamela iShekema ngezigaba ezine.
Hagi Abimeleki'a ana kenageke sondia vahe'a 4'afi refko huno Sekemu kumara avazagigagi'ne.
35 UGahali indodana kaEbedi wasephuma wema esikhaleni sesango lomuzi. UAbhimeleki wasesukuma labantu ababelaye ekucathameni.
Hagi nanterama Ebedi nemofo Galima kuma'mofo kahante uoma'netige'za, Abimeleki'ene sondia vahe'amo'zama fraki'nazafintira atre'za e'naze.
36 Kwathi uGahali ebona abantu, wathi kuZebuli: Khangela, abantu bayehla ezingqongeni zezintaba. Kodwa uZebuli wathi kuye: Ubona amathunzi ezintaba kungathi ngabantu.
Hagi Gali'ma ana vahe'tmima nezmageno'a Zebulinkura amanage hu'ne, Agonaregatira vahera eneramizanki ko. Anage'ma higeno'a Zebuli'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, amne agonaramimofo amema'aramimo vahe knara nehie.
37 UGahali waqhubeka futhi ekhuluma wathi: Khangela, abantu bayehla bevela phakathi kwelizwe, lelinye ixuku livela endleleni yamagceke abavumisi.
Hianagi Gali'a mago'ane amanage huno hu'ne, agonaregatira vahe'tmi eneramizanki ko. Hagi mago'a vahera zamavune vahe'ma mani'ne'za henkama fore'ma hania zanku'ma, havi kasnampa kema nehaza oki zafa agafama me'nea kantegati neaze.
38 UZebuli wasesithi kuye: Usungaphi umlomo wakho owathi ngawo: Ungubani uAbhimeleki ukuthi simkhonze? Laba kayisibo abantu obadeleleyo yini? Ake uphume khathesi uyekulwa labo.
Anante Zebuli'a otino Galina amanage huno asami'ne, ina kagipinti kagra ama ana kea hu'nane. Iza'e Abimeleki'a, agra iza mani'nenige'na nagra agri eri'za vahera manigahue? E'inage hunka huhavizama hu'nana vaheki vunka hara ome huzamanto.
39 UGahali wasephuma phambi kwabahlali beShekema, walwa loAbhimeleki.
Hagi anagema higeno'a Gali'a Sekemu kumate vahera nezamavreno, agra vugota huno Abimeleki naga'enena hara ome hu'ne.
40 UAbhimeleki wamxotsha, wasebaleka phambi kwakhe; abanengi bawa belimele kwaze kwaba sekungeneni kwesango.
Hianagi Abimeleki sondia vahe'mo'za Galina arotago nehu'za, vahera ome zamahetre eme zamahetre hu'za rankumamofo kahante ehanati'naze.
41 UAbhimeleki wasehlala eAruma. UZebuli wasemxotsha uGahali labafowabo, ukuze bangahlali eShekema.
Ana huteno Abimeleki'a Aruma kumate umanigeno, Zebuli'a Galine afu'aganahe'ina zamahe kasopeno agra Sekemu kumatera umani'ne.
42 Kwasekusithi kusisa abantu baphuma baya egangeni; bamtshela uAbhimeleki.
Hagi hanima huno ko'matigeno'a, Sekemu kumate vahe'mo'za hozafi vu'naku atirami'za vazageno, Abimelekina mago'a vahe'mo'za ome asami'naze.
43 Wasethatha abantu, wabehlukanisa baba ngamaxuku amathathu, wacathama egangeni, wabona, khangela-ke, abantu bephuma emzini, wabasukela wabatshaya.
Abimeleki'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, 3'afi vahe'a refko huno kankafona ante'ne. Hagi Abimeleki'ma kegeno'ma ana ha' vahetmima kumapinti'ma atirami'za azageno'a, agrane naga'amo'zama framaki'nazafintira oti'za zamahe'naze.
44 UAbhimeleki lexuku elalilaye basebebahlasela bema ekungeneni kwesango lomuzi, lamaxuku amabili ahlasela bonke ababesegangeni, abatshaya.
Hagi 3'a kevu vahepintira Abimeleki'a mago kevua avreno kuma'mofo kafante ome ankanire'za mani'nazageno, tare kevu vahe'mo'za megi'ama mani'naza ha' vahera zamahe vagare'naze.
45 UAbhimeleki wasesilwa emelene lomuzi lolosuku lonke, wawuthumba umuzi, wabulala abantu ababekiwo, wadilizela phansi umuzi, wawuhlanyela ngetshwayi.
Hagi Abimeleki'a ana kumapi vahera ana zage ferupinke hara huno zamahe hana nehuno, ana kumara tapage huno eri pehe nehuno, hage atinteno vano hu'ne.
46 Lapho bonke abahlali bomphotshongo weShekema bekuzwa, bangena enqabeni yendlu kaEli-Berithi.
Hagi zaza nompima mani'ne'za kuma kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mo'za Abimeleki'ma ha'ma eme huzamantea nanekema nentahi'za, ana nanteranke Bal-Beriti havi anumzamofo mono nomofo vihufi ufre'za mani'naze.
47 Kwabikelwa uAbhimeleki ukuthi bonke abahlali bemphotshongweni weShekema babuthene ndawonye.
Ana'ma hazageno'a mago'a vahe'mo'za Abimelekina eme asami'za, Sekemu kumate'ma za'za nompima manine'za kuma'ma kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mo'za maka magopi eritru hu'za mani'naze hu'za asami'naze.
48 UAbhimeleki wasesenyukela entabeni yeZalimoni, yena labo bonke abantu ababelaye; uAbhimeleki wathatha ihloka esandleni sakhe, wagamula ugatsha lwezihlahla, waluthatha walwetshata ehlombe lakhe, wathi ebantwini ababelaye: Lokhu elibona ngikwenza, phangisani likwenze njengami.
Hagi Abimeleki'a sondia vahe'a zamavareno Zalmoni agonafi mareriteno, sa'ume erino zafa azankuna'aramina antagi atreno afunte e'nerino, zamavarenoma vu'nea vahetmina amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ame'ama huta amama huaza hiho.
49 Ngakho bonke abantu labo bagamula, ngulowo ugatsha lwakhe, bamlandela uAbhimeleki bazibeka enqabeni, bathungela inqaba ngomlilo phezu kwabo, kwaze kwathi bonke abantu bomphotshongo weShekema labo bafa, phose abesilisa labesifazana abayinkulungwane.
Anagema higeno'a, ana maka vahe'mo'za ana zafa azankunatmina antagi'za Sekemu vahetmimofo vihurera retrure kagite'za teve tagintazageno ana vihufima mani'naza vahe'ene zaza nonte'ma kegavama nehaza vahetaminena miko 1tauseni'a venenene a'nenena fri'naze.
50 UAbhimeleki wasesiya eThebezi, wamisa inkamba maqondana leThebezi wayithumba.
Hagi anama huteno'a Abimeleki'a Tebezi kumate vuno ana kumapi vahera hara ome huzamanteno, ana kumara zamaheno hanare'ne.
51 Kodwa kwakulomphotshongo oqinileyo phakathi komuzi, labo bonke abesilisa labesifazana babalekela kuyo, labo bonke abahlali bomuzi, babavalela phakathi; benyukela ephahleni lomphotshongo.
Hianagi ana kumapi kva vahe'mo'za vihufinke ufrevagare'za ufraki'naze. Ana vihua zaza no ki'za mareri'naza nomofo agofetu fre'za umani'naze.
52 UAbhimeleki wasefika emphotshongweni, walwa lawo, wasondela emnyango womphotshongo ukuze awutshise ngomlilo.
Hagi Abimeleki'a ha' hunaku ana zaza nonte eno, ana nomofo kahante teve taginte'za nehigeno,
53 Owesifazana othile wasephosa ucezu lwelitshe lokuchola ekhanda likaAbhimeleki, wadabula ukhakhayi lwakhe.
mago a'mo'a witi neharaza havenkno atregeno tamino asenia ru prarovazino ahetre'ne.
54 Wasebiza masinyane ijaha elalithwala izikhali zakhe, wathi kilo: Hwatsha inkemba yakho ungibulale, hlezi bathi ngami: Owesifazana wambulala. Ijaha lakhe laselimgwaza, wafa-ke.
Anama higeno'a Abimeleki'a amanage huno hanko'ama erinentea nehaza nera asami'ne, a'ne'mo ahe frine hu'za hanagi, ame hunka kazinka'a erinka nahe frio, huno higeno ana nehazamo'a kazi regeno fri'ne.
55 Kwathi amadoda akoIsrayeli ebona ukuthi uAbhimeleki usefile, ahamba, ngulowo waya endaweni yakhe.
Abimeleki'ma frige'za kazana hige'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za nozimirega vu'naze.
56 Ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu wabuyisela ububi bukaAbhimeleki ayebenze kuyise, ngokubulala abafowabo abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Hagi Abimeleki'ma kefo avu'ava'ma huno 70'a afu'aganahe'ima zamahe frino nefama agima eri haviza hu'nea zantera, e'ina hukna huno Anumzamo'a nona huno azeri havizana hu'ne.
57 Labo bonke ububi bamadoda eShekema uNkulunkulu wabubuyisela phezu kwamakhanda awo; kwasekusehlela phezu kwabo isiqalekiso sikaJothamu indodana kaJerubali.
Ana hukna huno Sekumu kumate vahe'mo'zama kefozama hu'naza zantera Anumzamo'a nona huzmante'ne. E'inama hu'neana Jerubali nemofo Jotamu'ma zamazeri haviza hu kasnampa ke'ma huno kazusima huzmante'nea zamo'a zamagrite efore hu'ne.
