2 Amakhosi 1
Ingelosi kaJehova yabonakala ku-Eliya
1Khona uMowabi wahlubuka ku-Israyeli emva kokufa kuka-Ahabi.
2U-Ahaziya wawa eheleni lekamelo lakhe eliphezulu eliseSamariya, wagula; wathuma izithunywa, wathi kuzo: “Hambani nibuze kuBali Zebhubi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, ukuthi ngiyakusinda yini kulesi sifo.”
3Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku-Eliya waseThishibi: “Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabezana nezithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya, uthi kuzo: ‘Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli yini ukuba nihambe niyobuza kuBali Zebule? unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni?
4Ngakho-ke, manje, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngeke wehle kulowo mbhede okhuphukele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa. U-Eliya wahamba.
5Lapho izithunywa zibuyela kuye, wathi kuzo: “Nibuyelani na?
6Bathi kuye: “Kwakhuphuka indoda ukusihlangabeza, yathi kithi: Hambani, nibuyele enkosini enithumileyo, nithi kuyo: Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu na? kwa-Israyeli, ukuba uthume ukubuza kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na? ngalokho ungehli kulowo mbhede okhwele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.
7Wayesethi kubo: “Bekungumuntu onjani yena owahlangana nani, wanitshela lawa mazwi na?”
8Bamphendula bathi: “Uyindoda enoboya, ebhince ibhande lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe.” Wathi: “Lo ungu-Eliya waseThishibi.”
9Inkosi yasithuma kuye umthetheli-mashumi-mahlanu, enamashumi omahlanu akhe. Wakhuphukela kuye, bheka, wayehlezi esiqongweni sentaba. Wathi kuye: “Wena muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi yathi: Yehla;
10UEliya waphendula, wathi enduneni yamashumi ayisihlanu: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Kwehla umlilo ezulwini, wayiqeda yona namashumi ayisihlanu ayo.
11Wathuma kuye enye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo. Wasephendula wathi kuye: O muntu kaNkulunkulu, itsho njalo inkosi: Yehla masinyane;
12U-Eliya waphendula wathi kubo: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Wehla umlilo kaNkulunkulu ezulwini, wayiqeda yena namashumi ayisihlanu akhe.
13Waphinda wathuma induna yesithathu yabangamashumi amahlanu kanye nabangamashumi amahlanu bayo. Inkosi yesithathu yabangamashumi ayisihlanu yakhuphuka, yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka-Eliya, yamncenga, yathi kuye: “O muntu kaNkulunkulu, gcina umphefumulo wami nomphefumulo walaba bakhonzi bakho abangamashumi ayisihlanu. Ube yigugu emehlweni akho.
14Bheka, kwehla umlilo ezulwini, washisa izinduna ezimbili zamashumi ayisihlanu zokuqala kanye namashumi ayisihlanu azo; ngalokho ukuphila kwami kumelwe kube yigugu manje emehlweni akho.
15Ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku-Eliya: “Yehla naye; ningamesabi. Wasukuma wehla naye waya enkosini.
16Wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Ngenxa yokuthi uthume izithunywa ukuyabuza kuBali Zebhubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli ongabuza izwi lakhe na? ngalokho ungehli kulowo mbhede okhwele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.
17Wafa njengezwi likaJehova alikhulumayo u-Eliya. UJoramu wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe ngomnyaka wesibili kaJoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda; ngoba wayengelandodana.
18Ezinye izindaba zika-Ahaziya azenzayo azilotshiwe yini encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
