Abahluleli 9
1 U-Abhimelekhi indodana kaJerubhi-Bhali waya kubomalumakhe eShekhemu lakubo bonke abosendo lukanina wathi kubo,
Abimelech, wen natul Gideon, el som nu Shechem, yen sou lun nina kial ah muta we, ac fahk nu selos
2 “Buzani bonke abantu baseShekhemu ukuthi, ‘Yikuphi okungcono kini: ukubuswa yiwo wonke amadodana kaJerubhi-Bhali angamatshumi ayisikhombisa kumbe indoda eyodwa?’ Likhumbule ukuthi mina ngingumzimba legazi lenu.”
elos in siyuk sin mwet Shechem, “Pia kac ma wo suwos: wen itngoul kewa natul Gideon in mwet kol lowos, ku siena selos in leum fowos? Esam lah Abimelech el sou na pwaye lowos.”
3 Kwathi abanewabo bakanina sebekutshilo konke lokhu ebantwini baseShekhemu, bafuna ukumlandela u-Abhimelekhi, ngoba bathi, “Ungumfowethu.”
Sou lun nina kial Abimelech elos aolul in sramsramkin ma inge yurin mwet Shechem, na mwet Shechem elos wotela mu elos ac eisal Abimelech tuh elan mwet kol lalos, mweyen el sou na pwaye lalos.
4 Bamnika amashekeli esiliva angamatshumi ayisikhombisa, athathwa ethempelini likaBhali-Bherithi, u-Abhimelekhi aqhatsha ngawo izigebenga ezingakhathaliyo, ezaba ngabalandeli bakhe.
Elos sang ipin silver itngoul liki tempul lal Baal-lun-Wuleang nu sel Abimelech, na el sang moli kutu mwet lusrongten in acn we tuh elos in welul.
5 Waya emzini kayise e-Ofira kwathi abafowabo abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa, amadodana kaJerubhi-Bhali, wababulalela phezu kwedwala linye. Kodwa uJothamu, indodana encane kaJerubhi-Bhali waphepha ngokucatsha.
Ac el som nu in acn sin papa tumal ah in acn Ophrah, ac uniya tamulel itngoul wial fin sie eot lulap. Tusruktu Jotham, su srik emeet natul Gideon, el mukena tia anwuki, ke sripen el wikla.
6 Emva kwalokho bonke abantu baseShekhemu labeBhethi Milo babuthana ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi ensikeni eShekhemu ukuba u-Abhimelekhi bamfake abe yinkosi.
Na mwet nukewa in Shechem ac Bethmillo elos toeni ac som nu sisken sak oak mutal in acn Shechem, ac oru tuh Abimelech elan tokosra lalos.
7 Kwathi uJothamu esetshelwe lokhu wakhwela waya esiqongweni seNtaba iGerizimu wanqolonga esithi kubo, “Ngilalelani, bantu baseShekhemu, ukuze uNkulunkulu alilalele.
Ac ke Jotham el lohng ma inge el som fanyak nu fin mangon Eol Gerizim ac wowoyak ac fahk nu selos, “Porongeyu, kowos mwet in Shechem, ac sahp God El ac fah porongekowos!
8 Ngelinye ilanga izihlahla zasuka zayazigcobela inkosi yazo. Zathi esihlahleni se-oliva, ‘Woba yinkosi yethu.’
Sie pacl ah, sak nukewa som ac suk soko sak in tuh tokosra lalos. Elos fahk nu sin sak olive, ‘Kom fah tokosra lasr.’
9 Kodwa isihlahla se-oliva saphendula sathi, ‘Kambe ngingadela amafutha ami, okudunyiswa ngawo onkulunkulu labantu, ukuba ngibuse izihlahla na?’
Sak olive el topuk ac fahk, ‘Nga fin leum fowos, na enenu ngan tila orek oil, su mwe akfulatye god uh ac mwet uh.’
10 Izihlahla zasezisithi esihlahleni somkhiwa, ‘Woza ube yinkosi yethu.’
Na sak inge elos sifil som ac fahk nu sin sak fig, ‘Fahsru tuh kom in tokosra lasr.’
11 Kodwa isihlahla somkhiwa saphendula sathi, ‘Kambe ngingadela izithelo zami ezinhle kangaka njalo zimnandi, ukuba ngibuse izihlahla na?’
Ac sak fig el topuk ac fahk, ‘Nga fin leum fowos, na enenu ngan tia sifil isus fahko emwem ac wo.’
12 Lapho-ke izihlahla zathi esihlahleni sevini, ‘Woza ube yinkosi yethu.’
Na sak inge elos sifil som ac fahk nu sin oa in grape soko, ‘Fahsru tokosrala lasr.’
13 Kodwa isihlahla sevini saphendula sathi, ‘Kambe ngingadela iwayini lami elithokozisa onkulunkulu labantu, ukuba ngibuse izihlahla na?’
Na oa soko ah topuk ac fahk, ‘Nga fin leum fowos, na enenu ngan tila orek wain, su mwe akpwarye god uh ac mwet uh.’
14 Ekucineni zonke izihlahla zathi esihlahleni sameva, ‘Woza ube yinkosi yethu.’
Na sak inge sifil som ac fahk nu sin kokul, ‘Fahsru tokosrala lasr.’
15 Isihlahla sameva sathi ezihlahleni, ‘Nxa lifuna ngempela ukuthi lingigcobe ukuba ngibe yinkosi yenu, wozani lizecatsha emthunzini wami, kodwa nxa kungenjalo, akuphume umlilo esihlahleni sameva uqothule imsedari yaseLebhanoni!’
Na kokul el topuk ac fahk, ‘Fin pwaye kowos lungse tuh nga in tokosra lowos, fahsru ac muta ye lulik. Kowos fin tia, na e ac fah sikyak ke ma fakfuk keik uh ac esukak sak cedar nukewa in acn Lebanon.’”
16 Nxa lenze okubongekayo njalo ngobuqotho ekubekeni kwenu u-Abhimelekhi ukuba abe yinkosi, njalo nxa lenze okulungileyo kuJerubhi-Bhali labendlu yakhe, njalo nxa limphathe ngendlela emfaneleyo,
Na Jotham el sifilpa fahk, “Inge, ke kowos sulella Abimelech tuh elan tokosra lowos, ya kowos oru ke nunak na pwaye lowos? Ya kowos akfulatye orekma wo ma Gideon el oru nu suwos, ac oru wo nu sin sou lal?
17 ngoba ubaba walilwela, wabeka impilo yakhe engozini ukuba alihlenge ezandleni zamaMidiyani
Esam lah papa tumuk el tuh mweun keiwos. El pilesrala moul lal sifacna in molikowosla liki poun mwet Midian.
18 kodwa lamuhla selivukele abendlu kababa, kwathi amadodana akhe angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lawabulalela phezu kwedwala linye, kwathi u-Abhimelekhi, indodana yesigqilikazi sakhe, lamenza waba yinkosi yabantu baseShekhemu ngoba engumfowenu,
Na misenge kowos forla lain sou lun papa tumuk. Kowos uniya wen itngoul natul fin eot sefanna. Na ke na sripen Abimelech el ac ma wiowos, mweyen el wen natul Gideon ac mutan kulansap se kial, na kowos oral tuh elan tokosra lun acn Shechem.
19 ngakho nxa lenzenjalo ngobuqotho kuJerubhi-Bhali labendlu yakhe lamuhla, thokozani ngo-Abhimelekhi, kube njalo laye ngani futhi!
Inge, fin ma kowos oru misenge nu sel Gideon ac sou lal an kowos oru ke inse pwaye ac wo, na lela kowos in engan kacl Abimelech, ac lela tuh elan engan pac keiwos.
20 Kodwa nxa lingenzanga njalo, akuphume umlilo ku-Abhimelekhi uliqothule, bantu baseShekhemu labaseBhethi Milo, njalo kuphume umlilo kini bantu baseShekhemu labaseBhethi Milo, uqothule u-Abhimelekhi!”
A fin tia pwaye, lela e in sikyak kacl Abimelech ac esukak mwet Shechem ac mwet Bethmillo. Oayapa lela e in sikyak yurin mwet Shechem ac mwet Bethmillo ac esukulak Abimelech.”
21 Emva kwalokhu uJothamu wabaleka, waya eBheri, wahlala khona ngoba wayesesaba umfowabo u-Abhimelekhi.
Na Jotham el kaingla nu Beer ac muta we, mweyen el sangeng sel Abimelech, tamulel lal ah.
22 Kwathi u-Abhimelekhi esebuse abako-Israyeli iminyaka emithathu
Abimelech el kol acn Israel ke yac tolu.
23 uNkulunkulu wathumela umoya omubi phakathi kuka-Abhimelekhi labantu baseShekhemu bamhlamukela u-Abhimelekhi.
Na God El oru tuh mwet Shechem ac Abimelech in asrungai, na mwet Shechem elos tuyak lainul Abimelech.
24 UNkulunkulu wenza lokhu ukuze ububi obenziwa emadodaneni kaJerubhi-Bhali angamatshumi ayisikhombisa, ukuchithwa kwegazi lawo, buphindiselwe kumfowabo u-Abhimelekhi lasebantwini baseShekhemu, ababemsizile ekubulaleni kwakhe abafowabo.
Ma inge sikyak in akfalye ma koluk ma Abimelech ac mwet Shechem elos tuh oru nu sin wen itngoul natul Gideon ma elos uniya ah.
25 Ekumelaneni kwabo laye abantu baseShekhemu laba babeka abantu ezingqongeni zezintaba ukuba bacathamele bonke abadlula lapho babaphange, njalo lokhu kwabikwa ku-Abhimelekhi.
Mwet Shechem elos sap kutu mwet lalos in som wikla fin mangon eol uh tuh elos in sruokilya Abimelech, ac mwet inge elos pisre ma lun mwet nukewa su forfor in acn sac. Pweng ke ma inge sonol pac Abimelech.
26 UGali indodana ka-Ebhedi wathuthela eShekhemu labafowabo, njalo abantu bakhona bamethemba.
Inge, Gaal wen natul Ebed, ac mwet lel elos tuku nu Shechem, ac mwet Shechem elos filiya lulalfongi lalos facl.
27 Kwathi sebeye emasimini babutha amagrebisi bawagxoba, baba ledili ethempelini likankulunkulu wabo. Kwathi besidla njalo benatha, bamthuka u-Abhimelekhi.
Elos nukewa illa nu in ima uh ac eisani grape, elos orala nu ke wain, ac orek engan. Na elos utyak nu in tempul lun god lalos, ac mongo ac nimnim we ac aksruksrukel Abimelech.
28 Lapho-ke uGali indodana ka-Ebhedi, wathi, “Ungubani u-Abhimelekhi, loShekhemu ungubani, ukuba asibuse na? Akasindodana kaJerubhi-Bhali yini, njalo uZebhuli kasimsekeli wakhe na? Khonzani abantu baseHamori, yise kaShekhemu! Kungani kumele sikhonze u-Abhimelekhi na?
Ac Gaal el fahk, “Ku kut mwet fuka in acn Shechem inge? Efu ku kut in orekma nu sel Abimelech? Ku su win el uh? Ya tia ma natul Gideon? Zebul el orekma nu sel, tusruktu efu ku kut in kulansupwal? Kowos in orekma na nu sel Hamor, mwet matu lowos su el pa sifen ota lowos uh!
29 Sengathi ngabe abantu laba balawulwa yimi! Kade ngizamsusa. Kade ngizakuthi ku-Abhimelekhi, ‘Libize lonke ibutho lakho.’”
Nga ke in nga pa kol mwet inge! Nga lukun lusulla Abimelech! Nga lukun sap elan akola mwet mweun lal ac ilme kut in mweun.”
30 Kwathi uZebhuli umbusi wedolobho esizwa okwatshiwo nguGali indodana ka-Ebhedi, wathukuthela kakhulu.
Ke Zebul, mwet kol lun siti sac, el lohng kas lal Gaal inge, el arulana kasrkusrak kac.
31 Wathuma izithunywa ngasese ku-Abhimelekhi, esithi, “UGali indodana ka-Ebhedi kanye labafowabo sebeze eShekhemu njalo badunga idolobho ukuba likuvukele.
El supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Abimelech nu in Arumah ac fahk, “Gaal, wen natul Ebed, ac tamulel lal elos tuku nu Shechem ac oru eltal in tia lela kom in utyak nu in siti uh.
32 Ngakho wena labantu bakho kumele lize phakathi kobusuku limcathamele egangeni.
Inge kom ac mwet lom an tuku ke fong ac wikwik in imae soano.
33 Ekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga, lisondele ukuba lilihlasele idolobho. Lapho uGali labantu bakhe bephuma ukuba balihlasele, lenze loba yini isandla senu esanelisa ukukwenza.”
Ke lututang, ke faht uh tufahna takak, kom tuyak ac lain siti uh. Ac Gaal ac mwet lal fin illa in mweun, kom fah oneltalla nufon!”
34 Ngakho-ke u-Abhimelekhi lamabutho akhe wonke basuka ebusuku bacathama ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo eduze leShekhemu bengamaviyo amane.
Na Abimelech ac mwet lal nukewa elos tuku ac wikwik sisken acn Shechem in fong ah — elos kitakatelik nu ke u akosr.
35 UGali indodana ka-Ebhedi wayephumile emi ekungeneni kwesango ledolobho kwathi u-Abhimelekhi lamabutho akhe baphuma lapho ababecatshe khona.
Na ke Abimelech ac mwet lal elos liye ke Gaal el illa tu ke nien utyak nu in siti uh, Abimelech ac mwet lal elos tuyak liki acn elos wikwik we uh.
36 Kwathi uGali ebabona wathi kuZebhuli, “Khangela nampayana abantu bayehla besuka ezingqongeni zezintaba!” UZebhuli waphendula wathi, “Ubona amathunzi ezintaba kube angathi ngabantu.”
Ke Gaal el liye mwet inge, el fahk nu sel Zebul, “Ngetla liye! Mwet pa tufoki fineol an me!” Zebul el fahk, “Mo, tia mwet. Lullul in eol uh pa kowos liye an.”
37 Kodwa uGali wakhuluma futhi wathi, “Khangela, nampayana abantu bayehla besuka phakathi kwelizwe, njalo leviyo lamabutho liyeza livelela ngokuya esihlahleni sezangoma.”
Na Gaal el sifilpa fahk, “Liye, mwet pa tuku fineol an me ingan, ac sie u ah tuku ke innek soko sisken sak oak ma mwet susfa muta we ah!”
38 UZebhuli wasesithi kuye, “Kungaphi ukukloloda kwakho manje, wena owathi, ‘Ungubani u-Abhimelekhi ukuba asibuse na?’ Laba kabasibo yini abantu owawubahleka? Phuma uyekulwa labo!”
Na Zebul el fahk nu sel, “Pia kusen tungak lom ah inge? Kom pa tuh fahk mu, ‘Su win Abimelech uh ku kut in orekma nu sel?’ Pa ingan mwet ma kom tuh aksruksruki ah. Fahla mweunelos.”
39 Ngakho uGali waphuma labantu baseShekhemu walwa lo-Abhimelekhi.
Na Gaal el us mwet Shechem ac som mweunel Abimelech.
40 U-Abhimelekhi wamxotsha, kwathi abanengi bafa belimele ekubalekeni, ibanga lonke kusiya ekungeneni kwesango.
Abimelech el mutawauk ukwal Gaal, ac el kaing. Pukanten mwet kinet ke inkanek ah, som na nwe sun mutunpot in siti ah.
41 U-Abhimelekhi wahlala e-Aruma, kwathi uZebhuli wamdudula uGali labafowabo eShekhemu.
Abimelech el muta in acn Arumah, ac Zebul el lusulla Gaal ac tamulel lal ah liki acn Shechem, tuh elos in tia muta we.
42 Ngelanga elalandelayo abantu baseShekhemu basuka baya egangeni, njalo lokhu kwabikwa ku-Abhimelekhi.
In len tok ah Abimelech el lohngak lah mwet Shechem inge elos pwapa in som nu in ima ah.
43 Ngakho wathatha abantu bakhe, wabehlukanisa baba ngamaviyo amathathu wathi kabacathanyelwe egangeni. Kwathi ebona abantu bephuma edolobheni wavuka ukuba abahlasele.
Na el eis mwet lal ac kitalik nu ke u tolu, na elos wikwik in imae soano mwet ah. Ke Abimelech el liye ke mwet inge ilme liki siti uh, el tuyak liki nien wikwik uh ac onelosla.
44 U-Abhimelekhi lamaviyo ayelaye bagijimela phambili endaweni esekungeneni kwesango ledolobho. Amaviyo amabili agijimela kulabo ababesegangeni ababulala.
Ke Abimelech ac u se lal ah yuyak in taran mutunpot in siti uh, u luo ngia elos mweuni mwet su muta in ima ah, ac onelosla nufon.
45 Ngalo lonke lolosuku u-Abhimelekhi waqinisa ukulihlasela kwakhe idolobho lelo waze walithumba wabulala labantu balo. Idolobho walidiliza wasehaza itswayi phezu kwalo.
Mweun uh orek ke len nufon sac. Abimelech el sruokya siti sac ac onela mwet we. El kunausya siti sac ac afinya fin fohk uh ke sohl.
46 Besizwa lokhu, abantu abasemphotshongweni weShekhemu bayangena enqabeni yethempeli lase-Eli-Bherithi.
Ke mwet kol lun acn Shechem su muta ke tower lun mwet mweun ah elos lohng ke ma inge, elos suk nien wikla ku lalos ke tempul lal Baal-lun-Wuleang.
47 Kwathi u-Abhimelekhi esizwa ukuthi basebebuthene lapho,
Ke Abimelech el lohng lah mwet inge elos wikwik in acn sac,
48 yena labantu bakhe bakhwela intaba iZalimoni. Wathatha ihloka wagamula amahlahla, wawetshata emahlombe akhe. Walaya abantu ababelaye wathi, “Phangisani! Yenzani lokhu elibone ngikwenza!”
na el ac mwet lal elos fanyak nu Fineol Zalmon. El eis tula soko ac pakela lesak se ac filiya finpisal, ac fahk nu sin mwet lal elos in oru oana.
49 Ngakho abantu bagamula amahlahla bamlandela u-Abhimelekhi. Bawabuthelela enqabeni leyo bayithungela ngomlilo abantu bephakathi. Ngakho bonke abantu ababephakathi komphotshongo waseShekhemu, amadoda labesifazane ababengaba yinkulungwane bafa.
Ouinge mwet nukewa elos pakela kais sie lesak lalos ac fahsr tokol Abimelech. Elos yolsani lesak uh ke acn in wikla ku sac, ac esukak. Mwet uh mutana loac, ac elos nukewa misa — sahp oasr sie tausin mukul ac mutan we.
50 Emva kwalokho u-Abhimelekhi waya eThebhezi wayivimbezela wayithumba.
Na Abimelech el som nu Thebez, kuhlusya acn we ac sruokya.
51 Kodwa phakathi kwedolobho lelo kwakulomphotshongo oqinileyo lapho wonke amadoda labesifazane, abantu bakulelodolobho ababebalekele khona. Bazikhiyela phakathi bakhwela phezu kophahla lomphotshongo.
Oasr sie tower na ku in acn se inge, ac mwet nukewa in acn sac, mukul ac mutan ac mwet kol lalos, elos kaing nu we. Elos sifacna lakelosi ac fanyak nu fin mangon tower sac.
52 U-Abhimelekhi waya emphotshongweni lowo wawuhlasela. Kodwa wathi esebanga emnyango womphotshongo ukuba awuthungele ngomlilo,
Ke Abimelech el tuku nu ke tower sac tuh elan sruokya, el kalukyang nwe ke srungul uh tuh elan esukak.
53 owesifazane othile wawisela imbokodo phezu kwekhanda lakhe yadabula ukhakhayi lwakhe.
Na sie mutan el sisya eot in ilil na lulap se nu fin sifal twe foklalik ahlunsifal.
54 Waphanga wabiza umthwali wezikhali zakhe wathi, “Hwatsha inkemba yakho ungibulale, ukuze bangathi, ‘Wabulawa ngowesifazane.’” Ngakho inceku yakhe yamgwaza, wafa.
Na Abimelech el sulaklak pangonma mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun natul ah, ac fahk, “Faisak cutlass nutum an ac uniyuwi, tuh nga tia lungse mwet in fahk mu mutan se pa uniyuwi uh.” Na mukul fusr sac faksilya ke cutlass natul ah, na el misa.
55 Kwathi abako-Israyeli bebona ukuthi u-Abhimelekhi wayesefile, babuyela ekhaya.
Ke mwet Israel elos liye lah Abimelech el misa, elos folokelik nu acn selos.
56 UNkulunkulu wabuphindisela kanje ububi u-Abhimelekhi ayebenze kuyise ngokubulala abafowabo abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Ouinge God El folokin nu sel Abimelech ma koluk se el tuh oru nu sin papa tumal ke el tuh uniya tamulel itngoul wial ah.
57 UNkulunkulu wenza ukuthi labantu baseShekhemu babuhlawulele ububi babo. Isiqalekiso sikaJothamu indodana kaJerubhi-Bhali sehlela phezu kwabo.
Ac God El oayapa folokin ma koluk lun mwet Shechem nu faclos sifacna, fal nu ke ma Jotham, wen natul Gideon, el fahk ke el selngawelos ah.
