oOKumkani 2 OOKumkani 2-8 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Wathetha ke uElisha kwintokazi eyamvusayo unyana wakhe, wathi, Vuka, uhambe, wena nomzi wakho, uye kuphambukela apho ungaphambukela khona; ngokuba uYehova ubize indlala; kwaye uya kuza ehlabathini kwiminyaka esixhenxe.

2Wagqiba ke umfazi lowo, wenza ngokwelizwi lomntu kaTHIXO oyinyaniso; Wahamba nentsapho yakhe waza wahlala iminyaka esixhenxe njengomphambukeli kwilizwe lamaFilisti.

3Ekupheleni kweminyaka esixhenxe leyo, yabuya inkazana leyo ezweni lamaFilisti, yaphuma yaya kuzibika kukumkani ngendlu yayo nentsimi yayo.

4Wathetha uYehova kuGehazi, umkhonzi womfo wakwaThixo, wathi, Ndixelele zonke izinto ezinkulu azenzileyo uElisha.

5Yaye xa wayexelela ukumkani indlela awasibuyisela ngayo ebomini isidumbu, khangela! Wathi uGehazi, Nkosi yam, kumkani, yilaa nkazana iphilisileyo uElisha nonyana wayo.

6Wayibuza ukumkani intokazi leyo; Ukumkani wammisela omnye umphathi, wathi, Buyisa yonke impahla yakhe, neziqhamo zonke zentsimi, oko walishiya ilizwe unangoku.

7uElisha wafika eDamasko; yaye uBhen-hadadi ukumkani wakwa-Aram wayegula; Kwathiwa, Umfo wakwaThixo uze apha.

8Wathi uYehova kuHazayeli, Thabatha umnikelo, uye umkhawulela umfo wakwaThixo, umbuze uYehova ngaye, uthi, Ndiya kuphila na kwesi sifo?

9uHazayeli waya kumkhawulela, wathabatha izipho zonke ezilungileyo zaseDamasko, ubunzima beenkamela ezimashumi mane, weza, wema phezu kwakhe, wathi, Unyana wakho uBhen-hadade, ukumkani wakwa-Aram, undizisile eya kuwe. Wayethunywe ukuba athi: Ngaba ndiya kuphila kwesi sifo?

10Wathi uElisha kuye, Ewe, ùthi kuye, Uya kuphila ngonaphakade; ke uYehova undibonisile ukuba uya kufa ngonaphakade.

11Wabutywina ubuso bakhe wada waneentloni, walila umfo wakwaThixo oyinyaniso.

12Wathi uHazayeli, Ililelani na inkosi yam? Waphendula wathi, Kungokuba ndibazi ububi oya kubenza koonyana bakaSirayeli; nomntwana.

13Wathi uHazayeli, Uyintoni na umkhonzi wakho, ndiyinja nje, ukuba ndenze into enkulu kangaka? Wathi uElisha, uYehova undibonisile, ukuba uya kuba ngukumkani wakwa-Aram yena.

14Wamshiya ke uElisha, waya enkosini yakhe; Athi kuye, Utheni na uElisha kuwe? Waphendula ke wathi, Uthe kum, inene, uya kuphila.

15Ngengomso wathabatha ingubo, wayithi nkxu emanzini, wayaneka phezu kobuso bakhe apho ebefele khona; uHazayeli waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

16Ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, uYehoshafati engukumkani wakwaYuda, waba ngukumkani uYoram, unyana kaYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda.

17Ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; Waba neminyaka emashumi asibhozo anamibini engukumkani eYerusalem.

18Waqhubeka ehamba ngendlela yookumkani bakwaSirayeli, kanye njengoko yahambayo indlu ka-Ahabhi, ngenxa yokuba intombi ka-Ahabhi yayingumfazi wakhe; yaye wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova.

19Kodwa uYehova ebengafuni ukumtshabalalisa uYuda, ngenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wakhe, njengoko wathethayo kuye, wathi, uya kusoloko emkhanyisela yena noonyana bakhe.

20Ngexesha lakhe amaEdom amvukela uYuda, amisela ukumkani wawo.

21Wagqitha uYehoram, waya eTsahira, eneenqwelo zakhe zonke zokulwa; wavuka ebusuku, wawaxabela amaEdom awayemrhawule ngeenxa zonke, nabathetheli beenqwelo zokulwa; asaba amadoda, aya ezintenteni zawo.

22Akreqa ke amaEdom kumaYuda, unanamhla. Yaza iLibhena yavukela kwangaxeshanye.

23Ezinye izinto zikaYoram, nako konke awakwenzayo, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?

24uYoram walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kooyise emzini kaDavide; unyana wakhe uAhaziya waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.

25Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini kaYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi ukumkani wamaSirayeli, waba ngukumkani uAhaziya, unyana kaYoram, ukumkani wakwaYuda.

26uAhaziya ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba namnyaka mnye engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguAtaliya, intombi kaOmri, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.

27Waqhubeka ehamba ngendlela yendlu ka-Ahabhi waza wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, kanye njengendlu ka-Ahabhi kuba wayengumkhwenyana wendlu ka-Ahabhi.

28Wahamba noYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi, baya kulwa noHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram eRamoti yaseGiliyadi; yaye amaSiriya amxabela uYehoram.

29Ukumkani uYoram wabuyela eYizereli, ukuba anyangwe loo manxeba wawafumanayo kuma-Aram eRama, ekulweni kwakhe noHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram. Wehla uAhaziya, unyana kaYoram, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waya kubona uYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi eYizereli, ngokuba ebesifa.
