1 Yookumkani 16 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

16 ¹Laza ilizwi likaBawo wethu lafika kuYehu, unyana kaHanani, ngokuchasene noBhahesha, lisithi:

²“Ndakuphakamisayo eluthulini, ndakwenza umlawuli wabantu bam amaSirayeli, kodwa wahamba ngendlela kaYarobheham, wawonisa abantu bam amaSirayeli, wandiqumbisa ngezono zabo. ³Ngoko ke ndiza kumbhebhetha uBhahesha nendlu yakhe, ndiyenze indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati. ⁴Lowo wakwaBhahesha oya kufa emzini, uya kudliwa zizinja; ke lowo wakhe oya kufa endle, uya kudliwa ziintaka zezulu.”

⁵Ezinye izinto zikaBhahesha, noko wakwenzayo, nobugorha bakhe, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli? ⁶Walala uBhahesha kooyise, wangcwatyelwa eTirtsa; waza unyana wakhe uEla waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

⁷Kananjalo ilizwi likaBawo wethu lafika ngomprofeti uYehu, unyana kaHanani, ngokuchasene noBhahesha nendlu yakhe, ngenxa yabo bonke ububi awabenzayo emehlweni kaBawo wethu, emqumbisa ngomsebenzi wezandla zakhe, esiba njengendlu kaYarobheham, nangenxa yokuba wayibulala indlu kaYarobheham.

UEla Ulawula Aze Awe KwaSirayeli

⁸Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini anesithandathu ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, uEla, unyana kaBhahesha, waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli eTirtsa; waba neminyaka emibini engukumkani. ⁹Umkhonzi wakhe uZimri, umphathi wesiqingatha seenqwelo zakhe zokulwa, wamceba, xa uEla eseTirtsa, esela enxila endlwini ka-Artsa, obephethe indlu eTirtsa. ¹⁰Wangena uZimri, wamxabela, wambulala, ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini anesixhenxe ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waza waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

¹¹Kwathi akuba ngukumkani, ehleli etroneni, wayibulala yonke indlu kaBhahesha. Akamshiyela namnye oyindoda, nakwizalamane zakhe, nakubahlobo bakhe. ¹²Wayitshabalalisa ke uZimri yonke indlu kaBhahesha, ngokwelizwi likaBawo wethu, awalithethayo ngoBhahesha ngomprofeti uYehu, ¹³ngenxa yazo zonke izono zikaBhahesha nezono zikaEla unyana wakhe, abazenzayo nabawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, bemqumbisa uBawo wethu, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngamampunge abo angento yanto. ¹⁴Ezinye izinto zikaEla, nako konke awakwenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?

UZimri Ulawula Iintsuku Ezisixhenxe KwaSirayeli

¹⁵Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini anesixhenxe ka-Asa, ongukumkani wakwaYuda, uZimri waba ngukumkani iintsuku ezisixhenxe eTirtsa. Ke umkhosi wamisa ngaseGibheton, umzi wamaFilisti. ¹⁶Kwathi abo bantu babemise khona beva ukuba uZimri wenze iyelenqe, wambulala ukumkani, onke amaSirayeli amenza uOmri, umthetheli womkhosi, ukuba abe ngukumkani kumaSirayeli ngaloo mini eminqubeni. ¹⁷Wenyuka uOmri enamaSirayeli onke enaye, bemka eGibheton, bayingqinga iTirtsa. ¹⁸Kwathi uZimri akubona ukuba umzi uthinjiwe, wangena enqabeni yendlu yokumkani, walitshisa ibhotwe phezu kwakhe, wafa, ¹⁹ngenxa yezono zakhe awazenzayo, esenza okubi emehlweni kaBawo wethu, ehamba ngendlela kaYarobheham, nangesono sakhe awawonisa ngaso amaSirayeli. ²⁰Ezinye izinto zikaZimri, neyelenqe lakhe awalenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?

UOmri Ulawula KwaSirayeli

²¹Esuka ke amaSirayeli ahlulahlulwa kubini: isiqingatha salandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati, ukuba simenze ukumkani, isiqingatha salandela uOmri. ²²Baba namandla abantu ababelandela uOmri ngaphezu kwabantu ababelandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati. Wafa ke uTibheni, waba ngukumkani uOmri. ²³Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu ananye ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, uOmri waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli, waba neminyaka elishumi elinamibini engukumkani; emithandathu yayo eyeTirtsa. ²⁴Wathenga intaba yaseSamari kuShemere ngeetalente ezimbini zesilivere, wakha umzi kuloo ntaba, wawuthiya igama elinguSamari, ngokwegama likaShemere, owayengumnini wentaba leyo. ²⁵UOmri wenza okubi emehlweni kaBawo wethu, wagqitha bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe ngobubi. ²⁶Wahamba ngayo yonke indlela kaYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati, nangezono zikaYarobheham, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, bemqumbisa uBawo wethu, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngamampunge abo angento yanto. ²⁷Ezinye izinto zikaOmri, noko wakwenzayo, nobugorha awabubonakalalisayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli? ²⁸Walala uOmri kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kwaSamari; waza unyana wakhe uAhabhi waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

UAhabhi Ulawula Aze Azeke UIzebhele

²⁹Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu anesibhozo ka-Asa, ukumkani wakwaYuda, uAhabhi, unyana kaOmri, waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli, waba ngukumkani kwaSamari phezu kwamaSirayeli iminyaka engamashumi amabini anamibini. ³⁰UAhabhi, unyana kaOmri, wenza okubi emehlweni kaBawo wethu, wagqitha bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe. ³¹Kwathi, ngokungathi yinto encinane kuye ukuhamba ngezono zikaYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati, wazeka uIzebhele, intombi ka-Etebhahali, ukumkani wamaTsidon, waza waya wakhonza uBhahali, waqubuda kuye. ³²Wammisela uBhahali isibingelelo etempileni kaBhahali, awayakhayo kwaSamari. ³³UAhabhi wenza noAshera, wamqumbisa uBawo wethu, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ookumkani bakwaSirayeli ababengaphambi kwakhe. ³⁴Ngemihla yakhe uHiyeli waseBheteli wayakha iYeriko. Wayiseka ngowamazibulo akhe uAbhiram, wamisa iingcango zayo ngowamathumbu akhe uSegubhi, ngokwelizwi likaBawo wethu, awalithethayo ngoYoshuwa, unyana kaNun.
