1 Amakhosi 16
1Lase lifika izwi likaJehova kuJehu indodana kaHanani ngoBahasha, lathi:
2Ngokuba ngakuphakamisa othulini, ngakubeka umbusi phezu kwabantu bami u-Israyeli; wahamba ngendlela kaJerobowamu, wonisa abantu bami u-Israyeli, bangidlalise ngezono zabo;
3Bheka, ngiyakuthatha inzalo kaBahasha nendlu yakhe; ngizakwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati.
4Bonke abafela emzini kaBahesa bayakudliwa yizinja; nofela endle uyakudliwa yizinyoni zezulu.
5Ezinye izindaba zikaBahesha, nalokho akwenzayo, namandla akhe, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
6UBahasha wayeselala koyise, wembelwa eTirisa; u-Ela indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
7Futhi ngesandla somprofethi uJehu, indodana kaHanani, izwi likaJehova lafika ngokumelene noBhahasha nendlu yakhe, ngenxa yabo bonke ububi ayebenzile emehlweni kaJehova ngokumhlukumeza ngomsebenzi gcona ezandleni zakhe, ngokuba njengendlu kaJerobowamu; futhi ngoba wambulala.
8Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesithupha ka-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda u-Ela indodana kaBahasha wabusa kwa-Israyeli eTirisa iminyaka emibili.
9Inceku yakhe uZimri, induna yenxenye yezinqola zakhe, yamenzela ugobe eseTirisa, edakwa endlini ka-Arisa, umphathi wendlu yakhe eTirisa.
10UZimri wangena, wamnqoba, wambulala, ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa ka-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
11Lapho eqala ukubusa, lapho nje ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, wabulala yonke indlu kaBhesha; akashiyanga muntu ochamela udonga, izihlobo zakhe noma abangane bakhe.
12UZimri wayichitha yonke indlu kaBahasha njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngoBahasha ngenceku yomprofethi uJehu.
13Ngenxa yazo zonke izono zikaBhahasha nezono zendodana yakhe u-Ela abona ngazo futhi onisa ngazo u-Israyeli ngokuklolodela kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngentukuthelo yabo eyize.
14Ezinye izindaba zika-Ela nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
15Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa ka-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda uZimri wabusa eTirisa izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. Amadoda akanisa eGibethoni elingelamaFilisti.
16Amadoda ayekanisile ezwa kuthiwa: UZimri wenze uzungu futhi wabulala inkosi; ngakho wonke u-Israyeli wambeka u-Omri, induna yempi, inkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli ngalolo suku ekamu.
17U-Omri wakhuphuka eGibethoni, no-Israyeli wonke kanye naye, bavimbezela iTirisa.
18Lapho uZimri ebona ukuthi umuzi uthathiwe, wangena esigodlweni sendlu yenkosi washisa indlu yenkosi ngomlilo phezu kwakhe wafa.
19Ngenxa yezono zakhe one ngazo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, ngokuhamba ngendlela kaJerobowamu nangesono sakhe one ngaso ukuba onisa ngaso u-Israyeli.
20Ezinye izindaba zikaZimri nokukhohlisa kwakhe awakwenzayo, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
21Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bahlukana kabili, inxenye yabantu yalandela uThibini indodana kaGinati ukumbeka inkosi; inxenye yalandela u-Omri.
22Kodwa abantu ababelandela u-Omri babahlula abantu ababelandela uThibini indodana kaGinati, wafa uThibini, u-Omri wabusa.
23Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nanye ka-Asa, inkosi yakwaJuda, u-Omri waba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli, iminyaka eyishumi nambili; iminyaka eyisithupha wabusa eTirisa.
24Wathenga intaba yaseSamariya kuShemeri ngamatalenta amabili esiliva, wakha entabeni, wabiza umuzi awakha iSamariya ngegama likaShemeri umninigquma.
25Kodwa u-Omri wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova futhi wenza okubi kunabo bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe.
26Wahamba ngayo yonke indlela kaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, nasesonweni sakhe onisa ngaso u-Israyeli, ukucunula uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngentukuthelo yabo eyize.
27Ezinye izindaba zika-Omri azenzayo, namandla akhe awazenzayo, angithi zilotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
28U-Omri wayeselala koyise, wembelwa eSamariya; u-Ahabi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
29Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalombili ka-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, u-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, waba ngukumkani kwa-Israyeli; u-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli iminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili eSamariya.
30U-Ahabi, indodana ka-Omri, wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe.
31Kwathi, njengokungathi kuyinto elula kuye ukuhamba ezonweni zikaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, wathatha u-Izebeli indodakazi ka-Etibhali inkosi yamaSidoni ukuba abe ngumkakhe, wahamba wambulala. Wakhonza uBali, wakhuleka kuye.
32Wammisela uBali i-altare endlini kaBali ayakha eSamariya.
33U-Ahabi wenza ihlathi; u-Ahabi wenza okuningi ukucunula uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kunawo wonke amakhosi akwa-Israyeli ayengaphambi kwakhe.
34Ezinsukwini zakhe uHiyeli waseBethele wakha iJeriko; wabeka isisekelo salo ngo-Abiramu, izibulo lakhe, wamisa amasango alo ngoSegubi indodana yakhe encane, njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma enkonzweni kaJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni.
