2 Meʻa Hokohoko 10
1 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lehopoami ki Sikemi: he ne kuo ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Sikemi ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi.
URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayeze eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
2 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ongoʻi ia ʻe Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻi ʻIsipite (he naʻe hola ia ki ai mei he ʻao ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi, ) pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Selopoami mei ʻIsipite.
Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati esizwa, owayeseGibhithe lapho ayebalekele khona ubuso bukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wabuya evela eGibhithe.
3 Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻo ui ia. Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Selopoami mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻonau lea kia Lehopoami, ʻo pehē,
Basebethumela bambiza; uJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke basebesiza, bakhuluma kuRehobhowamu besithi:
4 “Naʻe fakamamahi ʻemau kavenga, ʻe hoʻo tamai: pea ko eni ke ke fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae ngaahi ngāue mamahi ʻa hoʻo tamai, mo ʻene haʻamonga mamafa ʻaia naʻa ne ʻai kiate kimautolu, pea te mau tauhi koe.”
Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke yenza ube lulanyana umsebenzi kayihlo olukhuni, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou toe haʻu kiate au ʻoka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kakai.
Wasesithi kibo: Buyani kimi emva kwensuku ezintathu. Abantu basebehamba.
6 Pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi ko Lehopoami mo e kau mātuʻa naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Solomone ko ʻene tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā hoʻomou fakakaukau ki ha lea ke tali ʻaki ʻae kakai ni?
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa ukubuyisela mpendulo bani kulababantu?
7 Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke angaʻofa ki he kakai ni, pea ke fakafiemālie ʻakinautolu, mo ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea lelei kiate kinautolu, pea te nau hoko ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata.”
Basebekhuluma kuye besithi: Uba uzalunga kulababantu, ubathokozise, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, bazakuba zinceku zakho insuku zonke.
8 Ka naʻe liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakakaukau naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻe he kau mātuʻa, pea fakakaukau ia mo e kau talavou naʻe toʻutangata mo kaumeʻa mo ia, pea nau tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao.
Kodwa wadela iseluleko sabadala abamcebisa ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayesima phambi kwakhe.
9 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā homou loto ʻomoutolu ki he tali ʻe fai ki he kakai ni,” ʻaia kuo nau lea mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakamaʻamaʻa siʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe hoʻo tamai kiate kimautolu?”
Wasesithi kuwo: Licebisa ukuthi sibuyisele mpendulo bani kulababantu, abakhulume kimi besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
10 Pea naʻe lea kiate ia ʻae kau talavou ʻa ia naʻe tupu hake mo kaumeʻa mo ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke tali pehē ʻae kakai naʻe lea kiate koe, ʻo pehē, naʻe fakamamafa ʻemau kavenga ʻe hoʻo tamai, ka ke fakamaʻamaʻa siʻi ia ʻe koe maʻamautolu: te ke tala ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻE lahi hoku louhiʻi nima siʻi ʻi he kongaloto ʻo ʻeku tamai.’
Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma laye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo ebantwini abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena lenze libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kubo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.
11 He koeʻuhi, ‘Naʻe ʻai ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻae haʻamonga mamafa kiate kimoutolu, te u fakalahi ki hoʻomou haʻamonga: naʻe kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻaki ʻae meʻa kinisi, ka te u kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi sikopio.’”
Ngakho-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
12 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Selopoami mo e kakai kotoa pē kia Lehopoami ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Toe haʻu kiate au ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho.”
Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
13 Pea naʻe lea mālohi ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe liʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻae fakakaukau ʻae kau mātuʻa,
Inkosi yasibaphendula kalukhuni; inkosi uRehobhowamu yasidela iseluleko sabadala,
14 Pea ne talia ʻakinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki ke fakakaukau ʻoe kau talavou, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakamamafa hoʻomou haʻamonga ʻe heʻeku tamai, ka te u fakalahi ki ai: naʻe kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kinisi, ka te u kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi sikopio.”
yakhuluma kubo njengeseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela kulo; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
15 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi ki he kakai: he naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻene folofola, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ia ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo, kia Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati.
Ngokunjalo inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela kuNkulunkulu ukuze iNkosi iqinise ilizwi layo eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
16 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, naʻe lea ʻae kakai ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā hamau ʻinasi ʻia Tevita? Pea ʻoku ʻikai hamau tofiʻa ʻi he foha ʻo Sese: ʻE ʻIsileli, ke taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale fehikitaki: pea ko eni, ʻa Tevita vakai ki ho fale ʻoʻou.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu bayiphendula inkosi besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Njalo kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Ngulowo emathenteni akho, Israyeli; khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke waya emathenteni akhe.
17 Ka koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, naʻe pule ʻa Lehopoami kiate kinautolu.
Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
18 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻa ʻAtolami ʻaia naʻe pule ki he tukuhau: pea naʻe tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea pekia ai ia. Ka naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Lehopoami ke heka ki heʻene saliote, ke hola ki Selūsalema.
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasithuma uAdoramu owayengumphathi wezibhalwa; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebemkhanda ngamatshe, wasesifa. Inkosi uRehobhowamu yaphangisa ukukhwela enqoleni ukubalekela eJerusalema.
19 Pea kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fale ʻo Tevita ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
Ngalokho uIsrayeli wayihlamuka indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
