2 Amakhosi 10 UJehu ubhalela iSamariya neJizreyeli izincwadi

¹ U-Ahabi wayenamadodana angamashumi ayisikhombisa eSamariya. UJehu waloba izincwadi, wazithumela eSamariya, kubabusi baseJizreyeli, kumalunga, nakulabo abakhulisa abantwana bakwa-Ahabi, wathi:

² Lapho nje le ncwadi ifika kini, njengoba amadodana enkosi yenu ekini, futhi kukhona kini izinqola namahhashi, kanye nomuzi onezivikelo eziqinile nezikhali;

³ Bhekani futhi emadodaneni enkosi yenu amahle kunawo wonke, nimbeke esihlalweni sobukhosi sikayise, nilwele indlu yenkosi yenu.

⁴ Kepha besaba kakhulu, bathi: “Bheka, amakhosi amabili angemi phambi kwakhe; pho thina siyakuma kanjani na?

⁵ Umphathi wendlu nomphathi womuzi, namalunga, nabafundisi babantwana, bathumela kuJehu, bathi: “Siyizinceku zakho, siyakwenza konke osiyaleza ngakho; ngeke sibeke inkosi; yenza okuhle emehlweni akho.

⁶ Wabalobela incwadi ngokwesibili, wathi: “Uma ningami, nilalela izwi lami, thathani amakhanda amadoda, amadodana enkosi yenu, nize kimi ngalesi sikhathi eJizreyeli kusasa. Amadodana enkosi, amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa, ayekanye nezikhulu zomuzi ezaziwakhulisa.

⁷ Lapho incwadi ifika kubo, bawathatha amadodana enkosi, babulala abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa, bafaka amakhanda awo emaqomeni, bamthumela eJizreyeli.

⁸ Kwase kufika isithunywa, samtshela, sathi: “Sebezilethile amakhanda amadodana enkosi.” Wathi: “Kubekeni kube yizinqwaba ezimbili ngasesikhaleni sesango kuze kube sekuseni.”

⁹ Kwathi ekuseni waphuma wema, wathi kubo bonke abantu: “Nina nilungile; bhekani, ngiyenzele inkosi yami ugobe, ngayibulala; kodwa ubani owabulala bonke laba bantu?

¹⁰ Yazini-ke ukuthi akuyikuwa lutho emhlabeni ezwini likaJehova alikhulumayo ngendlu ka-Ahabi, ngokuba uJehova wenza lokho akukhulumayo ngenceku yakhe u-Eliya.

¹¹ UJehu wabulala bonke abaseleyo bendlu ka-Ahabi eJizreyeli, nezikhulu zakhe zonke, nomndeni wakhe, nabapristi bakhe, waze akamyeka ukuba asale.

¹² Wasuka wahamba, wafika eSamariya. Kwathi esesendlini yomgundi wezinwele,

¹³ UJehu wahlangana nabafowabo baka-Ahaziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi: “Ningobani na? Bathi: “Singabafowabo baka-Ahaziya; bese sehla siyobingelela izingane zenkosi nezingane zendlovukazi.

¹⁴ Wathi: “Babambeni bephila.” Bababamba bephila, bababulala emhumeni wabagundi, amadoda angamashumi amane nambili; akashiyanga noyedwa kubo.

¹⁵ Esesukile lapho, wathungela uJonadaba indodana kaRekabi owafika ukumhlangabeza; wambingelela, wathi kuye: Inhliziyo yakho ilungile yini, njengoba inhliziyo yami injalo enhliziyweni yakho? UJonadaba waphendula wathi: “Kunjalo.” Uma kunjalo, nginike isandla sakho. Wamnika isandla sakhe; wamyisa kuye enqoleni.

¹⁶ Wathi: “Hamba nami, ubone ukushisekela kwami uJehova.” Base bemvumela ukuba agibele enqoleni yakhe.

¹⁷ Ekufikeni kwakhe eSamariya wabulala bonke abaseleyo baka-Ahabi eSamariya waze wamchitha njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ku-Eliya.

¹⁸ UJehu wayesebabizela ndawonye bonke abantu, wathi kubo: “U-Ahabi wakhonza uBali kancane; kepha uJehu uyakumkhonza kakhulu.

¹⁹ Khathesi ngibizeleni bonke abaprofethi bakaBhali, zonke izinceku zakhe labo bonke abapristi bakhe; makungasweleki muntu, ngokuba nginomhlatshelo omkhulu kuBali; loba ngubani oswelayo kayikuphila. Kodwa uJehu wakwenza ngobuqili, ngenjongo yokubhubhisa izinceku zikaBhali.

²⁰ UJehu wasesithi: Memezelani umkhosi uBhali. Base beshumayela.

²¹ UJehu wathumela ku-Israyeli wonke, zafika zonke izinceku zikaBali, akwaze kwasala muntu ongafikanga. Bangena endlini kaBali; indlu kaBali yagcwala kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kufike ekugcineni.

²² Wathi kumphathi wezingubo: Zikhiphele zonke izinceku zikaBali izingubo. Wabakhiphela izingubo.

²³ UJehu wayesengena noJonadaba indodana kaRekabi endlini kaBali, wathi ezincekwini zikaBali: “Buzani nibone ukuthi akukho yini lapha phakathi kwezinceku zeNkosi, izinceku zikaBali kuphela.

²⁴ Lapho bengena ukunikela ngemihlatshelo neminikelo yokushiswa, uJehu wabeka amadoda angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ngaphandle, wathi: “Uma kuphunyuka oyedwa kumadoda engiwalethe esandleni senu, omkhululayo, ukuphila kwakhe kuyakuba sesikhundleni sokuphila kwakhe.”

²⁵ Kwathi eseqedile ukunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa uJehu wathi kubalindi nasezikhulwini: Ngenani nibabulale; makungaphumi muntu. Bababulala ngosiko lwenkemba; abalindi nezinduna babaxosha, baya emzini wendlu kaBali.

²⁶ Base bekhipha izithombe endlini kaBali, bazishisa.

²⁷ Badiliza isithombe sikaBhali, badiliza indlu kaBhali, bayenza yaba yindlu eklanywe kahle kuze kube namuhla.

²⁸ Kanjalo uJehu wamchitha uBali kwa-Israyeli.

²⁹ Kodwa ezonweni zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u-Israyeli, uJehu akasukanga kuzo, amathole egolide ayeseBethele nakwaDani.

³⁰ UJehova wathi kuJehu: “Ngenxa yokuthi wenze kahle ngokwenza okulungile emehlweni ami futhi wenze kuyo indlu ka-Ahabi ngokuvumelana nakho konke okwakusenhliziyweni yami, abantwana bakho besizukulwane sesine bayohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi yakwa-Israyeli.

³¹ Kodwa uJehu akaqaphelanga ukuhamba ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe emthethweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngoba akazange aphambuke ezonweni zikaJerobowamu onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.

³² Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova waqala ukunciphisa u-Israyeli, uHazayeli wawachitha kuzo zonke izifunda zakwa-Israyeli;

³³ Kusukela eJordani ngasempumalanga, lonke izwe lakwaGileyadi, labakwaGadi, nabakwaRubeni, nabakwaManase, kusukela e-Aroweri engasemfuleni i-Arinoni, kuze kufike eGileyadi naseBashani.

³⁴ Ezinye izindaba zikaJehu, nakho konke akwenzayo, nawo onke amandla akhe, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?

³⁵ UJehu wayeselala koyise, bammbela eSamariya. UJehowahazi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

³⁶ Isikhathi uJehu abusa ngaso phezu kuka-Israyeli eSamariya sasiyiminyaka engamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili.
