< 1 Madzimambo 20 >

1 Zvino Bheni-Hadhadhi mambo weAramu akaunganidza varwi vake vose. Achibatsirwa namadzimambo makumi matatu namaviri vaine mabhiza avo nengoro, akaenda akakomba Samaria akarirwisa.
Awo Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli n’akuŋŋaanya eggye lye lyonna wamu ne bakabaka amakumi asatu mu babiri n’embalaasi n’amagaali gaabwe, bonna ne bambuka okuzingiza Samaliya n’okulwana nakyo.
2 Akatuma nhume muguta kuna Ahabhu mambo weIsraeri kundoti, “Zvanzi naBheni-Hadhadhi,
N’atuma ababaka mu kibuga eri Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Benikadadi nti,
3 ‘Sirivha yako negoridhe ndezvangu, uye vakadzi vako navana vako vakanyanyisa kunaka ndevangu.’”
‘Effeeza yo ne zaabu yo byange ate era ne bakyala bo abasinga obulungi n’abaana bo nabo bange.’”
4 Mambo weIsraeri akapindura akati, “Sezvamataura, ishe wangu mambo. Ini nezvose zvandinazvo ndiri wenyu.”
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu nti, “Nga bw’ogambye, mukama wange kabaka, nze ne bye nnina byonna bibyo.”
5 Nhumwa dzakauya zvakare ndokusvikoti, “Zvanzi naBheni-Hadhadhi, ‘Ndakatumira shoko rokuti ndinoda sirivha yako negoridhe, navakadzi vako navana vako.
Ababaka ne baddayo ewa Akabu nate ne bamugamba nti, “Kino Benikadadi ky’agamba nti, ‘Natuma nga njagala ffeeza yo ne zaabu yo, n’abakyala bo n’abaana bo.
6 Asi mangwana nenguva yakaita seino ndichatuma varanda vangu kuti vazotsvagisisa mumuzinda wako nomudzimba dzavaranda vako. Vachatora zvose zvaunokoshesa vagoenda nazvo.’”
Naye olunaku lw’enkya essaawa nga zino nzija kuweereza abakungu bange banoonyeemu mu lubiri lwo ne mu nnyumba z’abakungu bo, era bajja kutwala ebibyo byonna eby’omuwendo.’”
7 Mambo weIsraeri akadana vakuru vose venyika akati kwavari, “Tarisai muone kuti murume uyu ari kutsvaga muromo sei! Paakati ari kuda kutora vakadzi vangu navana vangu, nesirivha yangu negoridhe rangu, handina kurambira.”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’ayita abakadde bonna ab’ensi, n’abagamba nti, “Mulabe omusajja ono bw’anoonya emitawaana! Bwe yatumya bakyala bange n’abaana bange wamu ne ffeeza yange ne zaabu yange, sabimumma.”
8 Vakuru navanhu, vose vakapindura vakati, “Musateerera kwaari kana kubvumirana nezvaari kuda.”
Abakadde n’abantu bonna ne bamuddamu nti, “Tomuwuliriza wadde okukkiriziganya naye.”
9 Naizvozvo akapindura nhume dzaBheni-Hadhadhi akati, “Udzai ishe wangu mambo kuti, ‘Muranda wenyu achaita zvose zvamakamukumbira pakutanga, asi chikumbiro ichi chazvino handigoni kuchizadzisa.’” Vakasimuka vakaenda nemhinduro kwavakanga vabva, kuna Bheni-Hadhadhi.
Awo kabaka n’addamu ababaka ba Benikadadi nti, “Mutegeeze mukama wange kabaka nti, ‘Omuddu wo nzija kukola byonna bye walagidde ku ntandikwa, naye kino eky’oluvannyuma siyinza kukikola.’”
10 Saka Bheni-Hadhadhi akatumira rimwe shoko kuna Ahabhu achiti, “Vamwari ngavaitewo kwandiri, vanyanyise kudaro, kana guruva ringakwana kupa mumwe nomumwe wamauto angu kuti azadze chanza chake rikasara muSamaria.”
Awo Benikadadi n’aweereza obubaka obulala eri Akabu nti, “Bakatonda bankole bwe batyo n’okukirawo, enfuufu ya Samaliya bwe teebune mu bibatu by’abasajja bonna abangoberera.”
11 Mambo weIsraeri akapindura akati, “Muudzei kuti, ‘Uyo anoshonga nhumbi dzokurwa ngaarege kuzvirumbidza souyo anodzibvisa.’”
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amuddamu nti, “Mumugambe nti, ‘Eyeesiba ebyokulwanyisa aleme okwenyumiriza ng’oyo abyesumulula.’”
12 Bheni-Hadhadhi akanzwa shoko iri iye namadzimambo pavakanga vachinwa vari mumisasa, akabva arayira mauto ake akati, “Gadzirirai kundorwisa.” Saka vakagadzirira kundorwisa guta.
Benikadadi bwe yawulira obubaka obwo, ng’ali mu kutamiira ne bakabaka abalala mu weema zaabwe, n’alagira abasajja be nti, “Mweteeketeeke okulumba.” Ne beeteekateeka okulumba ekibuga.
13 Panguva iyoyo mumwe muprofita akauya kuna Ahabhu mambo weIsraeri, akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Uri kuona hondo huru huru iyi here? Ndichaiisa muruoko rwako nhasi, ipapo uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo nnabbi eyajja eri Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alangirira nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Olaba eggye lino eddene? Nzija kulikuwa mu mukono gwo leero, otegeere nga nze Mukama.’”
14 Ahabhu akabvunza akati, “Asi ndiani achaita izvi?” Muprofita akapindura akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Majaya amachinda omumatunhu ndiwo achazviita.’” Akabvunza akati, “Zvino ndiani achatanga hondo yacho?” Muprofita akapindura akati, “Ndiwe uchaitanga.”
Akabu n’abuuza nti, “Anakikola atya?” Nnabbi n’addamu nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Abavubuka bo ab’abaduumizi b’amasaza, bajja kukubeera.’” Akabu ne yeeyongera okubuuza nti, “Ani anasooka okulumba?” Nnabbi n’addamu nti, “Ggwe.”
15 Saka Ahabhu akaunganidza majaya amachinda omumatunhu, varume vaikwana mazana maviri namakumi matatu navaviri. Mushure akaunganidza vamwe vaIsraeri, pamwe chete zviuru zvinomwe.
Awo Akabu n’ayita abavubuka ab’abaduumizi b’amasaza, ne bawera ebikumi bibiri mu asatu mu babiri. Era n’akuŋŋaanya ne Isirayiri yenna, bonna awamu ne baba kasanvu.
16 Vakasimuka masikati, Bheni-Hadhadhi namadzimambo makumi matatu navaviri vaiva kudivi rake panguva yavakanga vari mumisasa yavo vachidhakwa.
Ne batabaala mu ttuntu nga Benikadadi ne bakabaka amakumi asatu mu ababiri be yali alagaanye nabo bali mu kutamiira.
17 Majaya amachinda omumatunhu ndiwo akatanga kuenda. Zvino Bheni-Hadhadhi akanga atuma vasori uye vakamuudza kuti, “Kune varume vari kubva kuSamaria.”
Abavubuka b’abaduumizi b’amasaza be baasooka okulumba. Naye Benikadadi yali atumye ababaka okuketta, ne bamutegeeza nti, “Waliwo abasajja abajja nga bava Samaliya.”
18 Akati, “Kana vauya kuzotsvaga rugare, vabatei vari vapenyu; kana vauya kuzorwa, vabatei vari vapenyu.”
N’ayogera nti, “Bwe baba bazze na mirembe, mubawambe, ne bwe baba nga baze ku lutalo, era mubawambe.”
19 Majaya amachinda omumatunhu akafamba achibuda muguta varwi vari mumashure mavo
Abavubuka b’abaduumizi b’amasaza ne bafuluma ne balumba okuva mu kibuga, nga n’eggye libagoberera.
20 uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akauraya waakarwisana naye. VaAramu vakatiza, vaIsraeri vachivadzingirira. Asi Bheni-Hadhadhi mambo weAramu akatiza akatasva bhiza, navamwe vavarwi vake vaiva namabhiza.
Buli omu ku bo n’atta gwe yayolekera. Abasuuli ne badduka, nga n’Abayisirayiri bwe babagoba, naye Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli n’awonera ku mbalaasi n’abamu ku basajjabe abeebagala embalaasi.
21 Mambo weIsraeri akabuda akakunda mabhiza nengoro, akauraya vaAramu vakawanda kwazvo.
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’abagobera ddala era n’awamba embalaasi n’amagaali, era Abasuuli bangi ne bafa.
22 Mushure maizvozvo, muprofita akauya kuna mambo weIsraeri akati, “Simbisa chinzvimbo chako ugoona zvinofanira kuitwa, nokuti muchirimo chiri kutevera mambo weAramu achakurwisa zvakare.”
Awo ebyo nga biwedde, nnabbi n’agenda eri kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amugamba nti, “Weenyweze, olabe ekiteekwa okukolebwa, kubanga omwaka ogunaddirira kabaka w’e Busuuli ajja kukulumba nate.”
23 Panguva imwe cheteyo, varanda vamambo weAramu vakati kwaari, “Vamwari vavo ndavamwari vamakomo. Ndicho chikonzero vakatikurira. Asi tikarwa navo mumapani, zvirokwazvo tichavakurira.
Mu kiseera ekyo, abakungu ba kabaka w’e Busuuli ne bamuwa amagezi nti, “Bakatonda b’Abayisirayiri bakatonda ba nsozi, era kyebavudde batusinza amaanyi. Naye bwe tunaabalwanyisizza mu lusenyi, mazima ddala tunaabasinza amaanyi.
24 Itai izvi: Bvisai madzimambo ose panzvimbo dzavo dzokutonga mugovatsiva navamwe vabati.
Kola bw’oti, ggyawo bakabaka bonna mu bifo byabwe eby’okuduumira, osseewo abaduumizi abalala.
25 Munofanirawo kuzviunganidzira hondo yakafanana neyamakarasikirwa nayo, bhiza nebhiza nengoro nengoro, kuitira kuti tikwanise kurwa navaIsraeri mumapani. Ipapo zvirokwazvo tichavakurira.” Akabvumirana navo akaita saizvozvo.
Oteekwa okufuna eggye ery’enkana liri lye wafiirwa, embalaasi edde mu kifo ky’embalaasi, n’eggaali mu kifo ky’eggaali, tulyoke tulwane nabo mu lusenyi, olwo tunaabasinzizza ddala amaanyi.” N’abawuliriza era n’akola bw’atyo.
26 Muchirimo chakatevera Bheni-Hadhadhi akaunganidza vaAramu akakwidza kuAfeki kundorwa neIsraeri.
Omwaka ogwaddirira Benikadadi n’akuŋŋaanya Abasuuli, n’ayambuka mu Afeki okulwana ne Isirayiri.
27 VaIsraeri vakati vaunganidzwawo uye vapiwa zvose zvinodiwa pakurwa hondo, vakafamba vachienda kundosangana navo. VaIsraeri vakadzika musasa wavo vakatarisana navo, vachinge mapoka maduku maviri embudzi, ukuwo vaAramu vakazadza nyika.
Awo abantu ba Isirayiri nabo ne bakuŋŋaana ne baweebwa entanda yaabwe, ne bagenda okubasisinkana. Abayisirayiri ne basiisira okuboolekera ne bafaanana ng’ebisibo bibiri ebitono eby’embuzi, naye Abasuuli ne babuna ensi yonna.
28 Munhu waMwari akauya akaudza mambo weIsraeri kuti, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Nokuda kwokuti vaAramu vanofunga kuti Jehovha ndimwari wamakomo, uye kuti haasi mwari wemipata, ndichaisa hondo huru huru iyi mumaoko ako, uye uchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
Awo omusajja wa Katonda n’asembera, n’agamba kabaka wa Isirayiri nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Olw’okuba Abasuuli balowooza nga Mukama Katonda wa ku nsozi so si Katonda wa mu biwonvu, ndigabula eggye lino eddene mu mukono gwo, otegeere nga nze Mukama.’”
29 Kwamazuva manomwe vakagara pamisasa yavo vakatarisana, uye nezuva rechinomwe hondo yakatanga. VaIsraeri vakauraya zana rezviuru zvamauto etsoka avaAramu musi mumwe chete.
Ne basiisira nga boolekaganye okumala ennaku musanvu, ku lunaku olw’omusanvu ne balumbagana. Abayisirayiri ne batta abaserikale ab’ebigere Abasuuli emitwalo kkumi mu lunaku lumu.
30 Vakasara vakatizira kuguta reAfeki, uko kwakandowira rusvingo pamusoro pezviuru makumi maviri nezvinomwe zvavo. Uye Bheni-Hadhadhi akatizira kuguta akandohwanda muimba yomukati.
Abalala ne baddukira mu kibuga Afeki, era eyo bbugwe w’ekibuga ekyo gye yagwira ku bantu emitwalo musanvu ku baali bawonyeewo. Benikadadi naye nadduka ne yeekweka mu kibuga mu kimu ku bisenge eby’omunda.
31 Varanda vake vakati kwaari, “Tarirai, takanzwa kuti madzimambo eimba yaIsraeri ane tsitsi. Ngatiendei kuna mambo weIsraeri takasungirira masaga muzviuno zvedu, uye takasunga misoro yedu netambo. Zvichida angakuregai muri mupenyu.”
Abakungu be ne bamugamba nti, “Laba, tuwulidde nti bakabaka b’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, ba kisa, twesibe ebibukutu mu biwato byaffe, tuzingirire emige ku mitwe gyaffe tugende ewa kabaka wa Isirayiri, oboolyawo anaakusaasira.”
32 Vakasungirira masaga muzviuno zvavo vakasunga misoro yavo netambo, vakabva vaenda kuna mambo weIsraeri vakasvikoti, “Muranda wenyu Bheni-Hadhadhi ati, ‘Ndapota, dai mangondirega ndararama.’” Mambo akapindura akati, “Achiri mupenyu nazvino? Ihama yangu.”
Ne beesiba ebibukutu mu biwato byabwe, ne bazingirira emige ku mitwe gyabwe, ne balaga ewa kabaka wa Isirayiri, ne bamugamba nti, “Omuddu wo Benikadadi agamba nti, ‘Nkwegayiridde tonzita.’” Kabaka n’ababuuza nti, “Akyali mulamu? Oyo muganda wange.”
33 Varume ava vakazviona sechiratidzo chakanaka ndokukurumidza kutevedzera zvaakanga areva. Vakati, “Hongu, hama yenyu Bheni-Hadhadhi!” Mambo akati, “Endai munomutora.” Bheni-Hadhadhi akati achibuda, Ahabhu akamukwidza mungoro yake.
Abasajja ne balowooza nti ako kabonero kalungi, era ne banguwa okwogera nti, “Weewaawo, muganda wo Benikadadi.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mugende mumuleete.” Benikadadi bwe yavaayo, Akabu n’amuleetera mu gaali lye.
34 Bheni-Hadhadhi akati kwaari, “Ndichadzosera maguta akatorwa nababa vangu kuna baba vako. Unogonawo kuisa misika yako muDhamasiko, sezvakaitwa nababa vangu muSamaria.” Ahabhu akati, “Nokuda kwechibvumirano ichi, ndichakusunungura.” Saka akaita chibvumirano naye, akamurega achienda.
Awo Benikadadi n’agamba nti, “Ndikuddiza ebibuga kitange bye yawamba ku kitaawo, era olyessizaawo obutale obubwo ggwe mu Ddamasiko, nga kitange bwe yakola mu Samaliya.” Akabu n’addamu nti, “Nzija kukuleka ogende nga tukoze endagaano.” Era ne bakola endagaano, n’amuleka n’agenda.
35 Mumwe wavanakomana vavaprofita arayirwa naJehovha, akati kushamwari yake, “Ndirove!” asi murume uyu akaramba.
Omu ku batabani ba bannabbi n’agamba munne nti, “Katonda alagidde onfumite n’ekyokulwanyisa kyo,” naye munne oyo n’agaana.
36 Naizvozvo muprofita akati, “Zvausina kuteerera Jehovha, uchingobva pano pandiri, uchaurayiwa neshumba.” Zvino murume uyu achangobva paakanga ari, shumba yakamuwana ikamuuraya.
Mutabani wa nnabbi n’ayogera nti, “Olw’obutagondera ddoboozi lya Mukama, bw’onooba wakava wano, empologoma eneekutta.” Awo bwe baali kyebajje baawukane, n’asanga empologoma era n’emutta.
37 Muprofita akawana mumwe murume akati, “Ndapota, ndirove.” Naizvozvo murume uyu akamurova, akamukuvadza.
Mutabani wa nnabbi n’asanga omusajja omulala, n’amugamba nti, “Nfumita, nkwegayiridde.” Omusajja n’amufumita n’amuleetako ekiwundu.
38 Ipapo muprofita akaenda akandomirira mambo pamugwagwa. Akazviita somumwe munhu akakwevera pasi mucheka wake womusoro kuti uvharidzire maziso ake.
Awo n’agenda n’alindirira kabaka mu kkubo, ne yeebuzaabuza ng’abisse ekiremba kye ku maaso ge.
39 Mambo paakanga ava kupfuura nepo muprofita akadanidzira kwaari akati, “Muranda wenyu akaenda pakatikati pehondo payakanga ichirwiwa, mumwe munhu akauya kwandiri nomusungwa akati, ‘Chengeta murume uyu. Kana akashayikwa upenyu hwako huchatsiva hwake, kana kuti ucharipa netarenda resirivha.’
Kabaka bwe yali ng’ayitawo, mutabani wa nnabbi n’amukoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu wo yagenze wakati mu lutalo, ne wabaawo omuserikale eyandetedde omusibe n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Kuuma omusajja ono. Bw’anaabula ggw’onottibwa mu kifo kye, oba si kyo oteekwa okusasula kilo amakumi asatu mu nnya eza ffeeza.’
40 Muranda wenyu paakanga ari mubishi rokuita basa pano nekoko, murume uya akanyangarika.” Mambo weIsraeri akati, “Iwoyo ndiwo mutongo wako. Ndiwe wautaura woga.”
Omuddu wo bwe yali ng’atawaana erudda n’erudda, laba omusajja n’abula.” Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amuddamu nti, “Ogwo musango gwo, era ogwesalidde.”
41 Ipapo muprofita akakurumidza kubvisa mucheka pamaziso ake, mambo weIsraeri akabva amuziva kuti aiva mumwe wavaprofita.
Awo mutabani wa nnabbi n’ayanguwa, okuggya ekiremba ku maaso ge, kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amutegeera nga y’omu ku bannabbi.
42 Akati kuna mambo, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Wakasunungura munhu wandakanga ndati anofanira kufa. Naizvozvo upenyu hwako huchatsiva hwake, vanhu vako vachatsiva vanhu vake.’”
N’agamba kabaka nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Otadde omusajja gwe namaliridde okutta. Noolwekyo ggw’ojja okufa mu kifo kye, n’abantu bo bafe mu kifo ky’abantu be.’”
43 Mambo weIsraeri akaenda kumuzinda wake muSamaria aora mwoyo uye ashatirwa.
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alaga mu lubiri lwe e Samaliya ng’aswakidde era nga munyiivu.
