Ovita pokati kooAhab na Benhadad
1 Benhadad, ombara ya Sirie, wa woronganisa ovimbumba vye avihe vyovita. Eye we rikuta kumwe nozombara zarwe omirongo vitatu na mbari, noukambe nomatemba wawo wovita. Eye wa ya na kakovera otjihuro tja Samaria ne ketjirwisa. 2 Eye wa hinda ovahindwa kotjihuro ku Ahab, ombara ya Israel, 3 okukemutjivisa nai: “Ombara Benhadad wa tja nai: ‘Osilveri nongoldo yoye ovyandje. Ovakazendu voye, imba ovawa tjinene, novanatje voye, imba ovanamasa, owo wina ovandje.’ ”
4 Ahab wa zira a tja: “Raera omuhona wandje, ombara Benhadad, kutja ami mba itavere kembo re. Eye nge ndji ise po owe na avihe mbi mbi na vyo.”
5 Kombunda yanao ovatumwa va Benhadad va kotoka rukwao ku Ahab nave tja nai: “Ami mbe ku hindire ombuze yokutja u ndji pe osilveri nongoldo yoye, novakazendu novanatje voye! 6 Nungwari nambano ami me hindi ovakarere vandje kutja ve hite mondjuwo yoye youhona na mozondjuwo zovakarere voye okupaha nawanawa nokutja ve toore ovihuze ovinanḓengu ngamwa avihe. Owo mave ya mbo mangara moruveze tjingero ndwi muhuka.”
7 Ombara Ahab wa isana ovanane avehe mehi na tja ku wo: “Eṋe mamu munu kutja omurumendu ngwi ma vanga okutunyona. Eye wa hinda ombuze ame ndji ṋiṋikiza kutja mbi mu pe ovakazendu novanatje vandje, nosilveri nongoldo yandje; nami mba itavera.”
8 Nungwari imba ovanane avehe notjiwaṋa atjihe va zira ave tja: “O puratene ku ye; panḓa!”
9 Nu Ahab opa zirira nai kovatumwa va Benhadad: “Karaereye komuhona wandje ombara kutja ami mba itavera komaningiriro we inga omatenga, nungwari hi nokuitavera ko ku inga oyetjavari.”
Imba ovatumwa va yaruka nave twara eziriro ndi ku Benhadad.
10 Benhadad ope mu tjivisira nai na tja: “Ami me eta ovarumendu, mba yenene okuyandeka otjihuro tjoye hi, nokutoora ovitekero vyatjo momake wawo. Oomukuru vovisenginina ngave ndji zepe, ami tji mbi ha tjitire nao.”
11 Ombara Ahab wa zira na tja: “Raera kombara Benhadad kutja omurwe wovita omusemba u rihiva ovita tji vya kapita, nungwari ke rihivi komurungu wavyo.”
12 Benhadad wa zuva eziriro ra Ahab, eye noverikutevakumwe na ye, inḓa ozombara zarwe ngunda ava haama mozondanda zawo pomanwino. Eye wa rakiza kovandu ve kutja ve rirongere okukarwisa otjihuro. Owo arire tji ve rituṋu okukakurama potuveze twawo.
13 Nu mokamanga omuprofete worive otje ya kombara Ahab na tja ku ye: “Muhona ma tja nai: ‘O tira otjimbumba otjinene tjovita ho! Ndinondi ami me ku pe outoṋi kombanda yatjo. Nove otji mo tjiwa kutja ami owami ngu mbi ri Muhona.’ ”
14 Ahab wa pura na tja: “Owaṋi ngu ma hongorere otjirwa?”
Omuprofete wa zira a tja: “Muhona ma tja nai: ‘Ovarwe omitanda mbe ri kehi yozongooneya zotukondwa ombu mave hongora.’ ”
Nombara ya pura rukwao nai tja: “Owaṋi ngu ma hongorere otjimbumba tjovita otjinamasa?”
Nomuprofete wa zira nai: “Oove omuini.”
15 Ahab opa tukira ovarwe omitanda mbe ri kehi yovanane ovanene wOtukondwa; avehe kumwe va ri omasere yevari nomirongo vitatu na vevari. Tjazumba otja tuka otjimbumba tjovarwe vOvaisrael, avehe kumwe ovarumendu omayovi hambombari.
16 Otjirwa tja uta mutenya, Benhadad noverikutevakumwe na ye, inḓa ozombara omirongo vitatu na mbari, ngunda ava ṱomavinu mozondanda zawo. 17 Ovarwe omitanda wovita va tenga po okuryama komurungu. Ozohoze, nda hindwa i Benhadad, za kotoka naze serekarere ku ye kutja otjimbumba tjovita tja sekama okuza kOsamaria. 18 Benhadad wa rakiza nai: “Ve kambureye nomuinyo, nangarire kutja mave yendere okurwa poo okuningira ohange.”
19 Ovarwe omitanda va hongorera otjirwa amave kongorerwa i otjimbumba tjOvaisrael tjovita, 20 nu auhe wa zepa omundu nguyave ru kumwe. Ovasirie va tupuka, nOvaisrael ve ve ramba nomasa. Nungwari Benhadad wa tupuka, a kavire kokasinokambe ke ama kongorerwa i ovakavire tjiva. 21 Ombara Ahab wa kumuka, a i mokuti, a kakambura oukambe nomatemba wovita na katjita omanyoneno omanene kOvasirie.
Ovita ovitjavari vyOvasirie
22 Nomuprofete wa ya kombara Ahab na katja nai ku ye: “Twende nu kaworonganise rukwao otjimbumba tjoye tjovita, nu kakengeze nawa, orondu ombara ya Sirie mai ku rwisa rukwao mokuṋi kwombura, ndji mai yende.” 23 Ovahongore ovanene vombara Benhadad va tja nai ku ye: “Oomukuru vOvaisrael oomukuru wozondundu, nOvaisrael opu va za okutuhavera. Nungwari eṱe, tjiri, matu ve havere, tji twe ve rwisire motutjandja. 24 Nambano isa mo inḓa ozombara omirongo vitatu na mbari mounane wazo, nu motuveze twazo twa mo ovahongore ovanene varwe. 25 Woronganisa otjimbumba otjinene tjovita tji tji ṱeki pu imbi ovitenga. Matu rwisire Ovaisrael motutjandja, nu otjikando hi matu ve havere.”
Ombara Benhadad wa itavera na zuu komaronga wawo. 26 Nu mokuṋi kwombura ndja kongorera ndjo, Benhadad wa woronganisa ovarumendu ve na kumuka puna wo kotjihuro Afek okukarwisa Ovaisrael. 27 Ovaisrael wina va tukwa nave rongerisiwa nonguta; owo va kumuka nave katona ozondanda movimbumba vivari ouhunga nOvasirie. Ovaisrael aave munika tjimuna otupanda tuvari otuṱiṱi twozongombo, tji mave sasanekwa nOvasirie mba tandavara mehi arihe.
28 Omuprofete wa ya na katja nai kombara Ahab: “Muhona ma tja nai: ‘Ovasirie tjinga amave tja, ami owami omukuru wozondundu, nu kawami omukuru wotutjandja, ami otji me ku pe outoṋi kombanda yotjimbumba tjawo otjinene tjovita; nove notjiwaṋa tjoye otji mamu tjiwa kutja owami ngu mbi ri Muhona.’ ”
29 Oure womayuva hambombari Ovasirie nOvaisrael va kara mozondanda zawo ava hungamasana. Meyuva oritjahambombari otji va uta okurwa, nOvaisrael va zepa Ovasirie omayovi esere rimwe meyuva rimwe. 30 Nu imba mba hupa va tupuka nave kahita motjihuro Afek; norumbo rwotjihuro rwa wira kovandu omayovi omirongo vivari na hambombari vawo.
Benhadad wina wa tupuka na kahita motjihuro na kaṱara metuwo rondjuwo rokongotwe. 31 Ovahongore ve va ya ku ye nave katja nai: “Twa zuva kutja ozombara zOvaisrael ze notjari. Tu esa tu yende kombara yOvaisrael novipiriko pehuri, nozongoze mozosengo zetu. Ngahino ombara mai yama omuinyo woye.” 32 Owo otji ve rivaranga novipiriko vyawo pehuri, nozongoze mozosengo zawo, nave katja nai kombara Ahab: “Omukarere woye Benhadad we riyarikaṋene omuinyo we kove.”
Ahab wa zira nai: “Eye inga u nomuinyo are? Osemba! Eye u ri otja erumbi randje ku ami.”
33 Ovahongore va Benhadad ave undju otjiraisiro otjiwa; nu Ahab tja tja “erumbi”, owo otji va itavera nave tja: “otja pu mo hee, Benhadad eye erumbi roye!”
Ahab wa rakiza a tja: “Kemueteye ku ami!” Benhadad tje ya, Ahab we mu ṋanga kutja a ronde metemba rovita puna ye. 34 Benhadad wa tja nai ku ye: “Ami me ku kotorere ovihuro tate mbya huura ku iho, nove ritungira orupanda rwomarandero mOdamaskus tjimuna tate tja tjita mOsamaria.”
Nu Ahab wa zira na tja: “Momuano mbwi ami otji me ku kutura.” Eye otja tjita omakutasaneno na ye, ne mu esa kutja a yende.
Omuprofete worive ma pangura Ahab
35 Umwe wotjimbumba tjovaprofete wa tja nai komuprofete omukwao otja Muhona pe mu rakiza: “Ndji tona!” Nungwari omuprofete omukwao ngwi wa panḓa. 36 Neye opa tjera nai: “ove tjinga au ha karere nonḓuviro komarakiza wa Muhona, mo ṱongeyama kamanga tji wa zu pu ami mba.” Nu mokamanga eye tja ya, ongeyama otji ye ya nai mu zepa.
37 Tjazumba omuprofete tjingeye ngwi wa ya nai komurumendu warwe na katja nai: “Ndji tona!” Nomurumendu ngwi wa tjita nao; eye we mu tona tjinene nga tja hara ovirwaro. 38 Omuprofete we rimanga omurungu we nerapi okurihoreka, na kakurama posi yondjira ama undju ombara yOvaisrael tji mai kapita. 39 Ombara tji ya kapita, ingwi omuprofete wa ravaera ku yo na tja: “Muhona ombara, ami mba ri movita; nomurwe wovita worive wa eta omuhuurwa ku ami na tja: ‘Tjevera omurumendu ngwi; eye tja hene, ove mo sutu nomuinyo woye poo mo sutu osilveri yondjinda mangara omayovi yetatu.’ 40 Nungwari ami tji mba ri noviungura vyarwe, ingwi omurumendu otja hena.”
Nombara yOvaisrael ye mu zira nai tja: “Ove omuini wa tjivisa omberero yoye; nove mo i sutu.”
41 Omuprofete wa isa ko erapi nda ri komurungu we, nu kamanga ombara ye mu zemburuka kutja iumwe wovaprofete. 42 Nomuprofete arire tja tja nai kombara: “Muhona ma tja nai: ‘Ove tjinga awa isa omurumendu okuhena ngu mba rakiza kutja nga ṱe, nu otji mo sutu nomuinyo woye, notjiwaṋa tjoye matji nyonwa moruveze rwotjiwaṋa tje.’ ”

1 Omukwaniilwa gwaSiria Benhadad okwa hiya aakwiita ye ayehe e ta kwathelwa kaaleli yalwe omilongo ndatu nayaali ye na uukambe wawo nomatembakwiita. Okwa yi e ta kondeke Samaria noku shi kondjitha. 2 Okwa tumu aatumwa moshilando komukwaniilwa gwaIsrael Ahab ye na elaka tali ti: “Omukwaniilwa Benhadad ota pula, 3 u mu yoololele oshisiliveli shoye, aanyekadhi yoye aawanawa naamwoye aanankondo.”
4 Ahab okwa yamukula a ti: “Ka lombweleni mwene gwandje omukwaniilwa Benhadad kutya ngame nda zimine; ota vulu okukwata ndje po niinima yandje ayihe.”
5 Konima aatumwa oya galukile kuAhab ye na epulo lilwe lya za kuBenhadad tali ti: “Onde ku tumine elaka, u pe ndje oshisiliveli shoye, oshingoli shoye, aanyekadhi yoye naamwoye. 6 Ihe ngashingeyi ote ningi ngeyi. Ongula pethimbo ngaandika ote tumu aambala yandje, ye ye ya shilile ombala yoye nomagumbo gomalenga goye. Otaa kutha po shaa shoka taa tala shi na oshilonga.”
7 Omukwaniilwa Ahab okwa hiya aawiliki yoshilongo ayehe e ta ti kuyo: “Omu wete kutya omuntu nguka okwa hala oku tu teya po. Okwa tumine ndje elaka ta pula ndje aakiintu yandje naamwandje, oshisiliveli noshingoli shandje, nonda zimine.”
8 Aawiliki naantu ayehe oya yamukula ya ti: “Ino mu pulakena nando; ino shi pitika.”
9 Omolwashoka Ahab a yamukula aatumwa yaBenhadad ta ti: “Ka lombweleni mwene gwandje omukwaniilwa kutya onda zimina eindilo lyotango, ihe ite vulu okuzimina eindilo etiyali.”
Aatumwa oya yi e taa galuka nelaka lilwe 10 lya za kuBenhadad tali ti: “Otandi ka eta aantu ya gwana okuyonagula po oshilando shoye shika nokukutha po iikumunwa nokuyuka po ayihe niikaha yawo. Ookalunga naa geele ndje, ndi se, ngele itandi shi ningi.”
11 Omukwaniilwa Ahab okwa yamukula a ti: “Ka lombweleni omukwaniilwa Benhadad kutya omukwiita gwolela oti itanga, ngele a kondjo, hamanga inaa kondja.”
12 Benhadad okwa taamba eyamukulo lyaAhab, manga yo nayakwawo, aaleli yalwe, ya li taa nu mootenda. Okwa lombwele aantu ye, yi ilongekidhile okumatukila oshilando, oyo noya yi miilonga.
13 Nena omuhunganeki gumwe e ya komukwaniilwa Ahab nokwa ti: “Omuwa ota ti: ‘Ino tila omatangakwiita ngoka omanene. Otandi ku pe esindano nena, noto ka tseya kutya ongame Omuwa.’ ”
14 Ahab okwa pula a ti: “Olye ta ka homona?”
Omuhunganeki okwa yamukula a ti: “Omuwa ota ti, aakwiita aagundjuka mewiliko lyaaniikandjo oyo taa shi ningi.”
Omukwaniilwa okwa pula: “Olye ta tameke okuhomona?”
Omuhunganeki okwa yamukula a ti: “Ongoye.”
15 Nena omukwaniilwa okwi ithana aakwiita aagundjuka mboka ya li mewiliko lyaaniikandjo, ayehe kumwe 232. Opo ihe okwa hiya omatangakwiita gAaisraeli, aantu omayuvi gaheyali.
16 Ehomono olya tameke omutenya, manga Benhadad nayakwawo omilongo ndatu nayaali ya li ya kolwa mootenda dhawo. 17 Aakwiita aagundjuka oya humu ko tango. Oondaadhi dha li dha tumwa kuBenhadad, odhe mu tseyithile kutya ongundu yaakwiita otayi ya tayi zi kuSamaria. 18 Okwa gandja elaka ta ti: “Ya kwateni ye na omwenyo, ashihe shimwe, ngele otaa ya okukondja nenge okupula ombili.”
19 Aakwiita aagundjuka oya wilike ehomono ya landulwa komatangakwiita gaIsrael, 20 noshaa ngoka okwa dhipaga omuntu ngoka e mu ukilila. Aasiria oya fadhuka po, nAaisraeli oye ya landula, ihe Benhadad okwa hunuka po a kayila okakambe e li pamwe naakawilinkambe yamwe. 21 Omukwaniilwa Ahab okwa yi kelundu e ta yugu po uukambe nomatembakwiita e ta sindi esindano enene mokati kAasiria.
22 Nena omuhunganeki okwa yi komukwaniilwa Ahab e ta ti: “Inda, u ka koleke omatangakwiita goye e to ningi oompangela oombwanawa, oshoka omukwaniilwa gwaSiria ote ke ku homona ishewe poshitemamvula.”
Ehomono etiyali lyAasiria
23 Omalenga gomukwaniilwa Benhadad oga ti kuye: “Ookalunga yaIsrael oyokoondundu, nomolwashoka Aaisraeli oye tu sindi, ihe otatu ke ya sinda shili, ngele otatu kondjo nayo melundu. 24 Ngashingeyi kutha aaleli mboka omilongo ndatu nayaali peha lyawo, u tule po oondjayi dhokomalundu. 25 Nena hiya etangakwiita li thike pamwe naandyoka wa kanitha, li na uukambe nomatembakwiita pandjele ndjoka yonale. Otatu ka kondja nAaisraeli komalundu, nomoshikando shika otatu ke ya sinda.”
Omukwaniilwa Benhadad okwa zimine e ta landula omayele gawo. 26 Oshitemamvula sha landula okwa hiya aantu ye e ta yi nayo koshilando Afek, a homone Aaisraeli. 27 Aaisraeli oya li ya hiywa noya li ya homata. Oya piti mo e taa yi noya yungu oontanda mbali dha taalelathana nAasiria. Aaisraeli oya li ya fa uungundu uyali wiikombo, manga Aasiria ya li yu udha elundu alihe.
28 Omuhunganeki okwa yi komukwaniilwa Ahab e te mu lombwele: “Omuwa ota ti ngeyi: ‘Molwashoka Aasiria otaa ti, ngame okalunga kokiikulundundu nohakokomalundu, otandi ku pe esindano okusinda etangakwiita lyawo enenenene, nangoye naantu yoye otamu ka tseya kutya ongame Kalunga.’ ”
29 Aasiria nAaisraeli oya kala moontanda dhawo omasiku gaheyali ya taalelathana. Mesiku etiheyali oya homonathana, nAaisraeli oya dhipaga Aasiria omayuvi ethele. 30 Mboka ya hupu ko, oya yi ontuku moshilando Afek, moka edhingililokuma lyoshilando lya kumukile omayuvi omilongo mbali nagaheyali yomuyo.
Benhadad, ngoka wo a li a ka holama moshilando, okwa kala ta zi mongulu ndjika noku ka holama mundjiyaka. 31 Omalenga ge oga yi kuye e taga ti: “Otwa kundana kutya aakwaniilwa yaIsrael aanamutimahenda. Tu pitikila, tu ye komukwaniilwa gwaIsrael twa zala omahahi noongodhi moothingo, pamwe otashi tu kwatha, a hupithe omwenyo gwoye.” 32 Osho ngaaka ya zala omahahi noongodhi moothingo noya yi kuAhab taa ti: “Omupiya gwoye Benhadad ota ti: ‘Kwatha ndje, ndi kale ndi na omwenyo.’ ”
Ahab okwa yamukula a ti: “Oku na ngaa omwenyo natango? Onawa! Kungame okwa fa omumwameme nokuli!”
33 Omalenga gaBenhadad oga tsuwa omukumo koshitya shoka “omumwameme” sha tumbulwa kuAhab noya ti mbala: “Benhadad omumwanyoko!”
Ahab okwe ga lombwele: “Mu eteni kungame.” Benhadad sho a thiki, Ahab okwe mu ithana a londe metembakwiita lye pamwe naye. 34 Benhadad okwa ti kuye: “Otandi ke ku galulila iilando mbyoka tate e yi yugile ho e to vulu okweegulula oositola muDamaskus, naanaa ngaashi tate a ningile muSamaria.” Ahab okwa yamukula a ti: “Pauvathano ndika otandi ku etha.” Okwa hangana naye nokwe mu etha, a ye.
Omuhunganeki ta pangula Ahab

Ongoye to shi pulwa, u fute nomwenyo gwoye nenge iimaliwa iiyelele yoshisiliveli omayuvi gatatu.’ 40 Ihe ngame onda li ndi ipyakidhila niinima yilwe, ndele omuntu ta yi ondapo.”
Omukwaniilwa okwa yamukula a ti: “Owi ipangula ngoye mwene, ou na okufuta ondjo yoye.”
