Amambo Wakutoma 21:1-29
21 Buluka penepo, paoneka nkandzo thangwi ya munda wa mauva wa Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli;+ munda unoyu ukhali ku Yezrieli dhuzi na nyumba ya mambo Akabu wa ku Samariya.
2 Akabu apanga Nabhoti: “Ndipase munda wako wa mauva toera ine ndibzwalemo masamba, thangwi iwo uli dhuzi na nyumba yanga. Ine ndinakupasa munda unango wa mauva wadidi kakamwe. Khala iwe nkhabe funa munda unango, ndinakupasa kobiri yakubverana na munda wako.”
3 Mbwenye Nabhoti apanga Akabu: “Ine cipo ndinakupasani unthaka wa ambuyanga,+ thangwi Yahova akhondesa pyenepi.”
4 Natenepa Akabu apita n’nyumba mwace mbali wakuipirwa na wakutsukwala thangwi ya pidapangwa iye na Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli kuti: “Ine nkhabe kukupasani unthaka wa ambuyanga.” Buluka penepo, iye agona patalimba pace mbayang’anisa nkhope yace ku pfufu, pontho iye akhonda kudya.
5 Yezabheli+ wakuti ndi nkazace aenda kuna iye mbambvundza: “Thangwi yanji mwatsukwala kakamwe, pontho musakhonda kudya?”
6 Iye antawira: “Thangwi ine ndapanga Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli kuti: ‘Ndigulisire munda wako wa mauva. Peno ungafuna ndinakupasa munda unango wa mauva.’ Mbwenye iye alonga: ‘Ine nkhabe kukupasani munda wanga wa mauva.’”
7 Yezabheli wakuti ndi nkazace ambvundza: “Kodi imwe nee ndimwe mambo wa Izraeli? Lamukani, dyani pang’ono, lekanibve kutsukwala. Ine ndinadzakupasani munda wa mauva wa Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli.”+
8 Natenepa iye alemba matsamba mu dzina ya Akabu, aaikha cidzindikiro+ ca mambo mbaatumiza kuna akulu+ na atsogoleri a mu nzinda wa Nabhoti.
9 M’matsamba anewa iye alemba tenepa: “Citani jejuu, pontho pangani Nabhoti toera akhale patsogolo pa mbumba yonsene.
10 Pontho pangani amuna awiri akuipa* toera akhale kutsogolo kwace mbampambizira kuti:+ ‘Iwe waxola Mulungu na mambo!’+ Buluka penepo, ndokoni naye kunja kwa nzinda, mukam’menye na miyala mpaka kumupha.”+
11 Natenepa amuna a mu nzinda wa Nabhoti, akulu na atsogoleri a mu nzinda unoyu, acita pidalemba Yezabheli m’matsamba adatumiza iye kuna iwo.
12 Iwo apanga anthu toera acite jejuu, pontho apanga Nabhoti toera akhale kutsogolo kwa mbumba.
13 Buluka penepo amuna awiri akuipa apita, akhala patsogolo pa Nabhoti mbatoma kumpambizira: “Nabhoti axola Mulungu na mambo!”+ Pidamala iwo aenda naye kunja kwa nzinda, mbam’menya na miyala mpaka kumupha.+
14 Natenepa iwo atumiza mphangwa kuna Yezabheli zakuti: “Nabhoti amenywa na miyala mpaka kufa.”+
15 Yezabheli pidapangwa iye kuti Nabhoti amenywa na miyala mpaka kufa, iye apanga Akabu: “Kakwateni munda wa mauva wa Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli,+ udakhonda iye kukugulisirani, thangwi Nabhoti nee ali m’maso, iye afa.”
16 Akabu pidabva iye kuti Nabhoti aphiwa, mwakukhonda dembuka, aenda kakwata munda wa mauva wa Nabhoti wa ku Yezrieli toera ukhale wace.
17 Mbwenye Yahova apanga Eliya+ wa ku Tisbhe:
18 “Ndoko ukaonane na Akabu mambo wa Izraeli wakuti ali ku Samariya.+ Iye ali m’munda wa mauva wa Nabhoti, iye aenda kaukwata toera ukhale wace.
19 Kampange kuti: ‘Yahova alonga tenepa: “Wapha munthu+ mbukwata pontho munda wace?”’+ Buluka penepo mpange kuti: ‘Yahova alonga tenepa: “Pa mbuto idanyanguta anambwa ciropa ca Nabhoti, anambwa anadzanyangutambo ciropa cako pa mbuto ibodzi ene.”’”+
20 Akabu apanga Eliya: “Iwe nyamalwa wanga,+ wandigumaniza!” Iye atawira: “Inde ndakugumanizani. Mulungu alonga: ‘Nakuti watonga* toera kucita pinthu pyakuipa pamaso pa Yahova,+
21 ndinabweresa nyatwa kuna iwe, pontho ndinadzakufudza mbandipha amuna onsene*+ a pa banja ya Akabu, kuphatanizambo anthu akusowa ciphedzo na akusowa mphambvu a mu Izraeli.+
22 Ndinadzacita kuna banja yako ninga pidacita ine kuna banja ya Yerobhoamu+ mwana wa Nebhati na kuna banja ya Bhaasa+ mwana wa Aiya, thangwi iwe wasosa ukali wanga, mbucitisa Aizraeli kudawa.’
23 Thangwi ya Yezabheli, Yahova alonga tenepa: ‘Anambwa anadzadya Yezabheli m’munda wa ku Yezrieli.+
24 Anthu a panyumba ya Akabu anafuna kufera mu nzinda, anadzadyiwa na anambwa; pontho ale anafuna kufera ntsanga, anadzadyiwa na mbalame zakudzulu.+
25 Mwandimomwene, cipo paoneka kale munthu ninga Akabu,+ wakuti akhadatonga* kucita pinthu pyakuipa pamaso pa Yahova, thangwi akhakulumizwa na nkazace Yezabheli.+
26 Iye acita pinthu pyakuipa kakamwe, mukulambira madzimunthu akunyanyasa* ninga pyonsene pidacita Aamori, ale adathamangisa Yahova pamaso pa Aizraeli.’”+
27 Akabu pidabva iye mafala anewa, apandula nguwo zace mbabvala sakha; iye acita jejuu mbapitiriza kugona pantsi mbadabvala sakha, pontho akhafamba wakutsukwala.
28 Buluka penepo Yahova apanga Eliya wa ku Tisbhe:
29 “Waona kucepeseka kudacita Akabu pamaso panga?+ Nakuti iye acepeseka pamaso panga, ine nee ndinabweresa nyatwa iye mbali m’maso. Ndinabweresa nyatwa kuna banja yace mu ntsiku za mwanace.”+
