1 YooKumkani

Isahluko 16

Lafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kuYehu, unyana kaHanani, ngenxa kaBhahesha, lisithi,
2 Ngenxa enokuba ndakuphakamisayo eluthulini, ndakwenza inganga yabantu bam amaSirayeli, wesuka wena wahamba ngendlela kaYarobheham, abantu bam amaSirayeli wabonisa ukuba bandiqumbise ngezono zabo:
3 yabona, ndiyawatshayela amavela-mva kaBhahesha, namavela-mva endlu yakhe, ndiyenze indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati.
4 OkaBhahesha ofela phakathi komzi, uya kudliwa zizinja; owakhe ofela endle, uya kudliwa ziintaka zezulu.
5 Ezinye izinto zikaBhahesha, nawakwenzayo, nobugorha bakhe, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
6 UBhahesha walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa eTirtsa. UEla, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
7 Kananjalo ngesandla sikaYehu, unyana kaHanani, umprofeti, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuBhahesha nakwindlu yakhe, nangenxa yobubi bonke awabenzayo emehlweni kaYehova, ukumqumbisa ngezenzo zezandla zakhe, ukuba ibe njengendlu kaYarobheham, nangenxa yokuba wamxabelayo.
8 Ngomnyaka wamashumi omabini anamithandathu ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waba ngukumkani uEla unyana kaBhahesha, kwaSirayeli eTirtsa; yaba yiminyaka emibini.
9 Wamceba umkhonzi wakhe uZimri, umthetheli wesiqingatha seenqwelo zakhe zokulwa, eseTirtsa, esela enxila endlwini ka-Arza, owayephethe indlu yakhe eTirtsa.
10 Wangena ke uZimri, wamxabela, wambulala, ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini anesixhenxe ka-Asa ukumkani wakwaYuda; waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
11 Kwathi, akuba ngukumkani, kwaesaqala ukuhlala etroneni yakhe, wayixabela yonke indlu kaBhahesha, akamsalisela nanye into eyindoda, nongumzalwana wakhe, nongumhlobo wakhe.
12 Wayitshabalalisa uZimri yonke indlu kaBhahesha ngokwelizwi likaYehova, awalithethayo kuBhahesha ngoYehu umprofeti;
13 ngenxa yezono zonke zikaBhahesha, nezono zikaEla unyana wakhe, abona ngazo, abawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, ukumqumbisa uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli ngeento zabo ezingento.
14 Ezinye izinto zikaEla, nako konke awakwenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
15 Ngomnyaka wamashumi omabini anesixhenxe ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, uZimri waba nemihla esixhenxe engukumkani eTirtsa. Abantu babemise iintente eGibheton eyeyamaFilisti.
16 Beva abantu ababemise khona, kusithiwa, UZimri umcebile, kananjalo umbulele ukumkani. Onke amaSirayeli amenza ukumkani kumaSirayeli uOmri, umthetheli-mkhosi, kwangaloo mini emkhosini.
17 Wenyuka ke uOmri enamaSirayeli onke esuka eGibheton, ayingqinga iTirtsa.
18 Kwathi, akubona uZimri ukuba uza kuthinjwa umzi, wangena enqabeni yendlu yokumkani, wayitshisa ngomlilo phezu kwakhe indlu yokumkani, wafa;
19 ngenxa yezono zakhe awona ngazo, wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, wahamba ngendlela kaYarobheham, nangezono zakhe awazenzayo wawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli.
20 Ezinye izinto zikaZimri, nokuceba kwakhe awaceba ngako, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
21 Baza bahluka kubini abantu bakwaSirayeli: esinye isahlulo sabantu salandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati, ukuba simenze ukumkani; esinye isahlulo salandela uOmri.
22 Abantu ababelandela uOmri baboyisa abo bantu babelandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati; wafa uTibheni; waba ngukumkani uOmri.
23 Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu anamnye ka-Asa ukumkani wakwaYuda, uOmri waba ngukumkani wamaSirayeli, iminyaka yaba lishumi elinamibini; waba ngukumkani eTirtsa iminyaka emithandathu.
24 Waza wathenga intaba yakwaSamari kuSamari ngeetalente ezimbini zesilivere, wakha kuloo ntaba, wathi igama laloo mzi wawakhayo yiSamari, ngegama likaSamari umninintaba.
25 UOmri wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova; wenza okubi ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe.
26 Wahamba ngendlela yonke kaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, nangezono zakhe awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, ukumqumbisa uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli ngezinto zabo ezingento.
27 Ezinye izinto zikaOmri awazenzayo, nobugorha bakhe awabenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
28 UOmri walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kwaSamari, uAhabhi unyana wakhe waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
29 UAhabhi, unyana kaOmri, waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu anesibhozo ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda; uAhabhi unyana kaOmri waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anamibini engukumkani kumaSirayeli kwaSamari.
30 UAhabhi unyana kaOmri wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe.
31 Ke, ngokungathi kulula kuye ukuhamba ngezono zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, wesuka wazeka uIzebhele, intombi kaEtebhahali ukumkani wamaTsidon, wangumkakhe; waya wakhonza uBhahali, wamnqula.
32 Wammisela uBhahali isibingelelo, endlwini kaBhahali, abemakhele yona kwaSamari.
33 UAhabhi wenza uAshera; uAhabhi waqokela ukumqumbisa uYehova uThixo wakwaSirayeli, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ookumkani bakwaSirayeli ababengaphambi kwakhe.
34 Ngeemini zakhe wayakha uHiyeli waseBheteli iYeriko; wayiseka ngoAbhiram, amazibulo akhe, wawamisa amasango ayo ngoSegubhi, owamathumbu akhe, ngokwelizwi likaYehova, awalithethayo ngoYoshuwa unyana kaNun.
