2 Tikhronike 10 - Siswati 1996 Bible

Baka-Israyeli bavukela Rehobowamu

¹ Rehobowamu waya eShekhemu, lapho onkhe ema-Israyeli abebutsene khona ayekumbeka inkhosi.

² Kwatsi kube Jerobowamu, umsa waNebati, akuve loko, aseseGibhithe, lapho abebalekele khona, abalekele Solomoni, wabuya esuka eGibhithe.

³ Ngako kwabe sekulandvwa Jerobowamu, yena kanye naso sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli baya kuRehobowamu, befika kuye batsi:

⁴ “Uyihlo abesetfwese lijoko lelimatima kakhulu, manje-ke wena sinciphisele lomtfwalo lomatima nalelijoko lelimatima labelibeke etikwetfu; tsine sitakukhonta.”

⁵ Rehobowamu wabaphendvula watsi: “Nibobuya lapha kimi emvakwemalanga lamatsatfu.” Ngako-ke sive sesuka sahamba.

⁶ Inkhosi Rehobowamu yahamba yayawutsatsisa kubantfu labadzala lababekadze basebenta neyise Solomoni aseyinkhosi, yafike yabuta yatsi: “Nine ningangeluleka kutsi ngibaphendvule ngitsini labantfu?”

⁷ Laba labadzala bamphendvula batsi: “Nangabe wena utawuba nemusa kulabantfu, ubajabulise, ubanike imphendvulo labayifunako, bayawuhlala batisebenti takho.”

⁸ Kodvwa Rehobowamu wasilahla leseluleko salabantfu labadzala lababemeluleke ngaso, wahamba wayawubuta kulabasha, bontsanga yakhe, lababetinceku takhe.

⁹ Wababuta watsi: “Nine-ke sitsini senu seluleko? Singabaphendvula sitsini labantfu labatsi kimi: ‘Cekisa lelijoko lesaletfweswa nguyihlo’?”

¹⁰ Lamajaha labebontsanga yakhe amphendvula atsi: “Khuluma kulabantfu labatsite kuwe: ‘Uyihlo wasetfwesa umtfwalo losindzako, kodvwa wena wente ube lula,’ batjele utsi: ‘Cikilicane wami mukhulu kunelukhalo lwababe.

¹¹ Babe wanetfwesa lijoko lelimatima, mine-ke ngitalenta libe matima kakhulu. Babe abenibhacabula ngetiswebhu, mine-ke ngitanibhacabula ngetiswebhu letinetipikili.’ ”

¹² Kwaphela emalanga lamatsatfu, Jerobowamu nesive sonkhe babuyela kuRehobowamu, njengobe phela inkhosi beyishito kutsi babobuya emvakwemalanga lamatsatfu.

¹³ Inkhosi yabaphendvula ngelulaka, yalahla leseluleko salabadzala,

¹⁴ yalandzela seluleko sabontsanga yayo, yatsi: “Babe wanetfwesa umtfwalo lowesindzako, mine-ke ngitawengeta, unisindze kakhulu kunakucala. Babe abenibhacabula ngetiswebhu; mine ngitanibhacabula ngetiswebhu letinetipikili.”

¹⁵ Ngako inkhosi ayizange isilalele sive, ngobe kwakuyintsandvo yaNkulunkulu kutsi kwenteke ngalendlela, kuze kugcwaliseke livi laSimakadze labelikhulume kuJerobowamu, umsa waNebati, nga-Ahiya waseShilo.

¹⁶ Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli satsi kube sibone kutsi inkhosi ayisilaleli sicelo saso, sakhuluma enkhosini satsi: “Sinabudlelwane buni naDavide? Sinasabelo sini nemsa waJese? Emathendeni enu, ma-Israyeli! Tibone kucedza, wena muti waDavide!” Ngako ema-Israyeli esuka onkhe atibuyelela emathendeni awo.

¹⁷ Kodvwa Rehobowamu wachubeka wabusa etikwawo onkhe lawo ma-Israyeli labehlala emadolobheni akaJuda.

¹⁸ Inkhosi Rehobowamu watfumela Adoniramu labeyindvuna yalababentiswa imisebenti lematima, kodvwa ema-Israyeli amtselekela, amgcoba ngematje, waze wafa. Noko inkhosi Rehobowamu yaphumelela kugibela encoleni yayo yemphi, yabaleka yacondza eJerusalema.

¹⁹ Ngako ema-Israyeli solomane yesuka ngalelo langa alwisana nendlu yakaDavide kuze kube ngulamuhla.
