1 Wafalme 20
1 Wakati huu, Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akakusanya jeshi lake lote. Akifuatana na wafalme thelathini na wawili wakiwa na farasi na magari ya vita, akakwea kuuzingira kwa jeshi Samaria na kuishambulia.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolungofulu ma toko ua, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote: pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake ʻo ne kāpui ʻa Samēlia ʻaki ʻae tau, ʻo ne fai ʻae tau ki ai.
2 Akawatuma wajumbe katika mji kwa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi:
Pea naʻa ne kouna atu ʻae kau talafekau kia ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki loto kolo, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Peni-Hatati,
3 ‘Fedha yako na dhahabu ni yangu, nao wake zako walio wazuri sana na watoto ni wangu.’”
ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻa hoʻo siliva mo hoʻo koula; pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku foki ʻa hoʻo ngaahi uaifi pea mo hoʻo fānau, ʻio, ʻakinautolu ʻoku matalelei hake ʻi ai.”
4 Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Iwe kama usemavyo, bwana wangu mfalme. Mimi na vyote nilivyo navyo ni mali yako.”
Pea naʻe tali ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea, ʻoku ʻaʻau au, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ou maʻu.”
5 Wale wajumbe wakaja tena na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi: ‘Nimetuma kutaka fedha yako na dhahabu, wake zako na watoto wako.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae kau talafekau, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Peni-Hatati, Neongo ʻa ʻeku fekau atu kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Te ke tuku mai kiate au hoʻo siliva, mo hoʻo koula, mo ho ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hoʻo fānau;
6 Lakini kesho wakati kama huu, nitawatuma maafisa wangu kukagua jumba lako la kifalme na nyumba za maafisa wako. Watatwaa kitu unachokithamini nao watakichukua.’”
Neongo ia, te u fekau atu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe ʻapongipongi ʻi he feituʻu laʻā ni nai, pea te nau hakule ho fale, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻoku mata lelei ki ho mata ʻoʻou, te nau toʻo ia ʻi honau nima ʻo ʻave.”
7 Mfalme wa Israeli akawaita wazee wote wa nchi na akawaambia, “Tazama jinsi mtu huyu anavyochokoza! Wakati alipotuma apelekewe wake zangu na watoto wangu, fedha zangu na dhahabu yangu, sikumkatalia.”
Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke mou sio ki heʻene kumi ʻe he tangata ni ha fekovikoviʻi: he naʻa ne fekau mai kiate au ke ʻatu ʻa hoku ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻeku ngaahi fānau, mo ʻeku siliva, pea mo ʻeku koula; pea naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ha meʻa meiate ia.”
8 Wazee na watu wote wakajibu, “Usimsikilize, wala usiyakubali matakwa yake.”
Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he kau mātuʻa pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOua naʻa ke fanongo kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa loto ki ai.”
9 Kwa hiyo akawajibu wajumbe wa Ben-Hadadi, “Mwambieni bwana wangu mfalme, ‘Mtumishi wako atafanya yote uliyoyadai mwanzoni, lakini dai hili la sasa siwezi kulitekeleza.’” Wakaondoka na kupeleka jibu kwa Ben-Hadadi.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he kau tala fekau meia Peni-Hatati, “Mou tala ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, Ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke tomuʻa fekau ai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki te u fai ia: ka ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe ʻikai siʻi te u mafai.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau talafekau, ʻonau toe ʻomi ʻae lea kiate ia.
10 Kisha Ben-Hadadi akatuma ujumbe mwingine kwa Ahabu, kusema “Miungu iniletee maafa, tena makubwa zaidi, ikiwa vumbi la Samaria litatosheleza konzi moja ya kila mtu ya wale wafuatanao nami.”
Pea naʻe fekau atu kiate ia ʻe Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua kiate au, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe lahi ʻae efu ʻo Samēlia ke taki taha maʻu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku muimui kiate au ha faluku ʻe taha.”
11 Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Mwambieni, ‘Yule anayevaa mavazi ya vita asije akajisifu kama yule anayevua.’”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Tala kiate ia, ʻOua naʻa polepole ia ʻaia ʻoku nonoʻo mai hono mahafutau, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ne vete ia.”
12 Ben-Hadadi alisikia ujumbe huu wakati ambapo yeye na wafalme walikuwa wanakunywa katika mahema yao, na akawaamuru watu wake, “Jiandaeni kushambulia.” Kwa hiyo wakajiandaa kuushambulia mji.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he lea ko ia, lolotonga ʻa ʻene inu, ʻaia mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, naʻa ne pehē ai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou teuteu.” Pea naʻa nau teuteu ke tauʻi ʻae kolo.
13 Wakati ule ule nabii akamjia Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli na kutangaza, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Je, unaona jeshi hili kubwa? Nitalitia mkononi mwako leo, nawe ndipo utajua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha palōfita kia ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo ke mamata ki he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ni? Vakai, te u tukuange kinautolu ki ho nima he ʻaho ni; pea te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.’”
14 Ahabu akauliza, “Ni nani atakayefanya hili?” Nabii akamjibu, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo watafanya hili.’” Akauliza, “Ni nani atakayeanzisha vita?” Nabii akamjibu, “Ni wewe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi, “Ia hai?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻi he nima ʻoe kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua.” Pea naʻa ne toki pehē, “Pea ko hai ʻe tataki ʻae tau?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ko koe.”
15 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akawaita maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo, wanaume 232. Kisha akawakusanya Waisraeli wote waliobaki, jumla yao 7,000.
Pea naʻa ne toki lau hake ʻae kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua, pea naʻa nau toko uangeau ma tolungofulu ma ua: pea hili ʻene lau kinautolu, naʻa ne lau ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e toko fitu afe.
16 Wakaondoka wakati wa adhuhuri, Ben-Hadadi na wale wafalme thelathini na wawili walioungana naye walipokuwa katika mahema yao wakilewa.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu feʻunga mo e hoʻatāmālie. Ka naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae inu ke konā ʻa Peni-Hatati ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ko ia mo e ngaahi tuʻi, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua ʻaia naʻe tokoni kiate ia.
17 Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo waliondoka kwanza. Wakati huu Ben-Hadadi alikuwa amewatuma wapelelezi, ambao walileta taarifa kusema kwamba, “Askari wanasonga mbele kutoka Samaria.”
Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻae kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fekau meia Peni-Hatati, pea naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku haʻu ha kau tangata mei Samēlia.
18 Akasema, “Ikiwa wamekuja kwa amani, wakamate wakiwa hai; ikiwa wamekuja kwa vita, wakamate wakiwa hai.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau kuo nau hū mai kituʻa ʻi he melino, puke moʻui pe kinautolu; pea kapau kuo nau ʻomi kituʻa ke fai ʻae tau, puke moʻui pe kinautolu.”
19 Wale maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo wakatoka nje ya mji jeshi likiwa nyuma yao,
Ko ia naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae kau talavou ni ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua, pea mo e kautau naʻe muimui kiate kinautolu.
20 kila mmoja akamuua adui yake. Hii ilisababisha Waaramu kukimbia, huku Waisraeli wakiwafuatia. Lakini Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akatoroka akiwa amepanda farasi wake pamoja na baadhi ya wapanda farasi wake.
Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi taki taha haʻane tangata: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai Silia; pea naʻe tulia kinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hao moʻui ʻa Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi ha hoosi fakataha mo e kau heka hoosi.
21 Mfalme wa Israeli akasonga mbele na kushinda farasi na magari ya vita na kusababisha hasara kubwa kwa Waaramu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne teʻia ʻae fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he tāmate lahi ʻaupito.
22 Baadaye nabii akaja kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Jiandae vizuri ufikirie la kufanya, kwa sababu mwakani mfalme wa Aramu atakuja kukushambulia tena.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae palōfita ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo fakamālohi koe, pea vakai, ʻo tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku ke fai: he ka toe hoko mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻa Silia ke tauʻi koe.”
23 Wakati ule ule, maafisa wa mfalme wa Aramu wakamshauri, wakamwambia, “Miungu yao ni miungu ya vilimani. Ndiyo sababu walikuwa na nguvu sana kutuzidi. Lakini kama tukipigana nao katika nchi tambarare, hakika tutawashinda.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo Silia kiate ia, “Ko honau ngaahi ʻotua, ko e ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga; ko ia naʻa nau mālohi hake ai ʻiate kitautolu; kae tuku ke tau tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tokalelei, pea ko e moʻoni te tau mālohi hake ʻiate kinautolu.
24 Fanya hivi: Waondoe hao wafalme wote thelathini na wawili kutoka nafasi zao na uweke maafisa wengine mahali pao.
Pea ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, ʻAve ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono potu, pea fetongiʻaki kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki tau:
25 Ni lazima pia uandae jeshi jingine kama lile ulilopoteza, farasi kwa farasi, gari la vita kwa gari la vita, ili tuweze kupigana na Israeli katika nchi tambarare. Kisha kwa hakika tutakuwa na nguvu kuliko wao.” Akakubaliana nao naye akashughulika ipasavyo.
Pea lau mai kiate koe ha kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau kuo mole ʻiate koe, ko e hoosi ke tatau mo e hoosi, mo e saliote ke tatau mo e saliote: pea te tau tau mo kinautolu ʻi he potu tokalelei, pea ko e moʻoni te tau mālohi hake ʻiate kinautolu.” Pea naʻa ne tokanga ki heʻenau lea, ʻo ne fai pehē.
26 Mwaka uliofuata, majira kama hayo, Ben-Hadadi akawakusanya Waaramu mpaka Afeki kupigana dhidi ya Israeli.
Pea ʻi heʻene toe hokosia mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu, naʻe lau hake ʻae kakai Silia ʻe Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne ʻalu hake ki ʻEfeki ke tau mo ʻIsileli.
27 Baada ya Waisraeli kukusanywa na kupewa mahitaji, walikwenda kukabiliana nao. Waisraeli wakapiga kambi mkabala nao kama makundi mawili madogo ya mbuzi, wakati Waaramu walienea katika nchi yote.
Pea naʻe lau hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻene meʻakai, mo nau ʻalu atu ko honau tali: pea naʻe fokotuʻu honau ʻapitanga ʻi honau ʻao ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fānganga kosi siʻi ʻe ua; ka naʻe fonu ʻae fonua kotoa ʻi he kau Silia.
28 Mtu wa Mungu akaja na kumwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Kwa sababu Waaramu wanafikiri Bwana ni Mungu wa vilimani na sio Mungu wa mabondeni, nitatia jeshi hili kubwa mkononi mwako, nawe utajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne lea ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo pehē ʻe he kakai Silia, Ko e ʻOtua pe ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe ngaahi potu tokalelei, ko ia te u tukuange ai ʻae fuʻu kakai tokolahi ni ki ho nima, pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.’”
29 Kwa siku saba walipiga kambi wakitazamana na siku ya saba vita vikaanza. Waisraeli wakawajeruhi askari wa miguu wa Waaramu 100,000 kwa siku moja.
Pea naʻa nau nofo ʻo fehangaʻaki ko e taha ki he taha ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho naʻe hoko ʻae tau: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata hāʻele ʻe tokotaha kilu ʻoe kakai Silia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
30 Waliobaki wakatorokea katika mji wa Afeki, mahali ambapo watu 27,000 waliangukiwa na ukuta. Naye Ben-Hadadi akakimbilia mjini na kujificha kwenye chumba cha ndani.
Ka naʻe feholaki ʻae toenga [kakai ]ki ʻEfeki, ki he loto kolo; pea naʻe hinga ʻae ā ʻi ai ʻo taʻomia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano mo e toko fitu afe, ʻaia naʻe toe. Pea naʻe hola ʻa Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne hū mai ki he kolo, pea ki he loki ki loto fale.
31 Maafisa wake wakamwambia, “Tazama, tumesikia kwamba wafalme wa nyumba ya Israeli wana huruma. Twendeni kwa mfalme wa Israeli tukiwa tumevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwetu na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyetu. Huenda akakuacha hai.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Vakai eni, kuo mau fanongo ko e ngaahi tuʻi faʻa ʻaloʻofa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, tuku ke mau ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa ki homau kongaloto, mo e maea ki homau ʻulu, pea mau ʻalu atu ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli heiʻilo te ne fakamoʻui koe.”
32 Wakiwa wamevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwao na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyao, walikwenda kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Mtumishi wako Ben-Hadadi anasema: ‘Tafadhali, naomba uniache hai.’” Mfalme akajibu, “Je, bado yuko hai? Yeye ni ndugu yangu.”
Ko ia naʻa nau nonoʻo ʻaki kinautolu ʻae tauangaʻa ʻi honau kongaloto, mo e maea ki honau ʻulu, pea [naʻa nau ]haʻu ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Peni-Hatati, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, “Tuku ke u moʻui.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “He ʻoku ne kei moʻui? Ko hoku kāinga ia.”
33 Wale watu wakalipokea jambo lile kama dalili nzuri nao wakawa wepesi kulichukua neno lake wakisema, “Ndiyo, yeye ni ndugu yako Ben-Hadadi!” Mfalme akawaambia, “Nendeni mkamlete.” Ikawa Ben-Hadadi alipokuja, Ahabu akampandisha katika gari lake la vita. Ben-Hadadi akajitolea, akisema,
Pea naʻe tokanga lahi ʻe he kau tangata pe ʻe ai ha meʻa lelei meiate ia, pea naʻa nau puke leva ki ai: pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko ho kāinga ko Peni-Hatati. Pea naʻa ne toki pehē atu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia.” Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Peni-Hatati kituʻa kiate ia; pea naʻa ne fekau ia ke heka hake ki he saliote.
34 “Nitairudisha ile miji ambayo baba yangu aliiteka kutoka kwa baba yako. Unaweza kuweka maeneo yako ya soko katika Dameski, kama baba yangu alivyofanya huko Samaria.” Ahabu akasema, “Katika misingi ya mkataba, nitakuachilia huru.” Kwa hiyo akaweka mkataba naye, akamruhusu aende zake.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe [Peni-Hatati ]kiate ia, “Ko e ngaahi kolo, ʻaia naʻe kapasia ʻe heʻeku tamai mei hoʻo tamai, te u toe ʻatu; pea te ke ngaohi maʻau ʻae ngaahi hala ʻi Tamasikusi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻi Samēlia.” Pea naʻe pehēange ai [ʻe ʻEhapi], “Te u tukuange koe ke ʻalu ʻi he fuakava ni.” Ko ia naʻa ne fai mo ia ha fuakava, mo ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu.
35 Kwa neno la Bwana, mmoja wa wana wa manabii akamwambia mwenzake, “Nipige kwa silaha yako,” lakini yule mtu akakataa.
Pea ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, naʻe pehē ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke taaʻi au. Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne loto ke taaʻi ia.
36 Kwa hiyo yule nabii akasema, “Kwa sababu hukumtii Bwana, mara tu tutakapoachana utauawa na simba.” Na baada ya yule mtu kuondoka, simba akatokea na kumuua.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai te ke fai talangofua ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, vakai, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu atu leva meiate au, ʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻe ha laione.” Pea ʻi heʻene mahuʻi atu leva meiate ia, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe ha laione, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia.
37 Nabii akamkuta mtu mwingine na kumwambia, “Nipige tafadhali.” Kisha yule mtu akampiga na kumjeruhi.
Pea naʻa ne toki ʻilo ʻae tangata kehe ʻe taha ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke taaʻi au.” Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe he tangata, pea naʻa ne lavea, ʻi hono taaʻi.
38 Ndipo nabii akaenda na kusimama barabarani akimsubiri mfalme. Akajibadilisha kwa kushusha kitambaa cha kichwani mwake hadi kwenye macho.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae palōfita, mo ne tatali ʻi he hala ki he tuʻi, pea naʻa ne fakapuli ia ʻaki ʻae efuefu naʻe ʻai ki hono mata.
39 Mfalme alipopita pale, yule nabii akamwita, “Mtumishi wako alikwenda vitani wakati vita vilipopamba moto, mtu mmoja akanijia na mateka akasema, ‘Mlinde mtu huyu. Kama akitoroka itakuwa uhai wako kwa uhai wake, ama vipande 3,000 vya fedha.’
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange ai ʻae tuʻi naʻa ne ui atu ki he tuʻi: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tau; pea vakai, naʻe afe mai ha tangata ʻo ne ʻomi ha tangata kiate au, mo ne pehē, ‘Puke maʻu ʻae tangata ni: kapau ʻe mole ia ʻi ha meʻa, ʻe toki totongi ʻe hoʻo moʻui ʻa ʻene moʻui ʻaʻana, pea ka ʻikai ia te ke totongi ʻaki ha taleniti siliva ʻe taha.’
40 Wakati mtumishi wako alipokuwa na shughuli nyingi hapa na pale, yule mtu akatoweka.” Mfalme wa Israeli akasema, “Hiyo ndiyo hukumu yako. Wewe umeitaja mwenyewe.”
Pea lolotonga ʻae femouʻekina ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻiloange kuo ne hao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kiate ia, “ʻE pehē pe ʻae fakamaauʻi koe; kuo ke fakapapau pe ia ʻe koe.”
41 Kisha yule nabii akajifunua macho yake haraka, na mfalme wa Israeli akamtambua kama mmoja wa manabii.
Pea naʻa ne fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ne toʻo ʻae efuefu mei hono mata; pea naʻe toki ʻilo ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ko e tokotaha ia ʻi he kau palōfita.
42 Akamwambia mfalme, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Umemwacha huru mtu niliyekusudia afe. Kwa hiyo ni uhai wako kwa uhai wake, watu wako kwa watu wake.’”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke tukuange mei ho nima ʻae tangata naʻaku tukupau ʻeau ke fakaʻauha ʻaupito, ko ia ʻe totongi ʻaki ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻa ʻene moʻui ʻaʻana, pea ʻe totongi ʻaki hoʻo kakai ʻa ʻene kakai ʻaʻana.’”
43 Kwa uchungu na hasira, mfalme wa Israeli akaenda kwenye jumba lake la kifalme huko Samaria.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki hono fale kuo māfasia mo mamahi, mo ne hoko ki Samēlia.
