Ibuuku lya Kubalilapo Ilya Ishamfumu 21:1-29
21 Pa numa ya ifi fintu, kwali ifyacitike ifyakumine ibala lya myangashi ilya kwa Nabote umwina Yesreele. Ili ibala lyali mu Yesreele+ mupepi ne sano lya kwa Ahabu imfumu ya Samaria.
2 Ahabu aebele Nabote ati: “Mpeela ibala lyobe ilya myangashi, pa kuti libe ibala lyandi ilya musalu, pantu lyabela mupepi ne ng’anda yandi. Lyena nalakupeelelamo ibala lya myangashi ilisuma ukucila ili. Nelyo nga ulefwaya, nalakulipila indalama ukulingana no mutengo we bala lyobe.
3 Lelo Nabote aebele Ahabu ati: “Te kuti imupeele impanga ya bupyani iya fikolwe+ fyandi pantu Yehova alikaanya.”
4 E ico Ahabu aingile mu ng’anda yakwe ninshi ali no bulanda kabili uwa nkumbabulili pantu Nabote umwina Yesreele amwebele ati: “Nshamupeele impanga ya bupyani iya fikolwe fyandi.” Lyena aleele pa busanshi bwakwe, alolesha na kumbi, kabili alikeene no kulya.
5 Yesebele+ umukashi wakwe alishile e lyo amwipusha ati: “Cinshi mubelele* no bulanda sana ica kuti mwakaana no kulya?”
6 Amwaswike ati: “Ni co naceba Nabote umwina Yesreele nati, ‘Nshitisha ibala lyobe ilya myangashi. Nelyo nga ulefwaya, leka nkupeelelemo ibala lya myangashi limbi.’ Lelo acinjeba ati, ‘Nshamupeele ibala lyandi ilya myangashi.’”
7 E lyo Yesebele umukashi wakwe amwipwishe ati: “Bushe te imwe muteka Israele? Imeni mulye ifya kulya kabili sansamukeni. Nkamupeela ibala lya myangashi ilya kwa Nabote umwina Yesreele.”+
8 E ico Yesebele alembele amakalata mwi shina lya kwa Ahabu, afwatikapo ne cifwati+ ca kwa Ahabu, e lyo ayatuma ku bakalamba+ na ku bakankaala abaleikala mu musumba umwaleikala Nabote.
9 Yesebele alembele mu makalata ati: “Bilisheni ukuti kube ukufunga, kabili muleke Nabote ekale ku ntanshi ya bantu.
10 Muleke na baume babili ifinangwa bekale ku ntanshi yakwe kabili bamubepeshe+ abati, ‘Walipontela Lesa ne mfumu!’+ Lyena mumufumishe kunse ya musumba, mumupoole amabwe mpaka afwe.”+
11 E ico abakalamba na bakankaala ba mu musumba umo aleikala bacitile ifyo Yesebele abalembeele mu makalata.
12 Babilishe ukuti kube ukufunga kabili batekele Nabote ku ntanshi ya bantu.
13 Lyena abaume babili ifinangwa, baishileikala ku ntanshi yakwe kabili batendeke ukumubepesha pa bantu abati: “Nabote alipontela Lesa ne mfumu!”+ Pa numa, bamufumiishe kunse ya musumba, bamupoola na mabwe, mpaka afwa.+
14 Nomba batumiine Yesebele amashiwi ya kuti: “Nabote nabamupoola amabwe kabili nafwa.”+
15 Ilyo Yesebele aumfwile fye ukuti Nabote balimupoolele amabwe kabili alifwile, aebele Ahabu ati: “Imeni muyebula ibala lya myangashi ilya kwa Nabote umwina Yesreele+ ilyo akeene ukumushitisha, pantu Nabote tali no mweo, nafwa.”
16 Ilyo Ahabu aumfwile fye ukuti Nabote alifwile, alimine aya kwi bala lya myangashi ilya kwa Nabote umwina Yesreele, pa kuti alibule libe lyakwe.
17 Lelo Yehova alandile na Eliya+ umwina Tishbe ati:
18 “Kabiye kakumanye Ahabu imfumu ya Israele uuli mu Samaria.+ Ali mwi bala lya myangashi ilya kwa Nabote, ilyo alefwaya abuule pa kuti libe lyakwe.
19 Ufwile ukumweba auti, ‘Yehova atila, ‘Bushe waipaya umuntu+ kabili wabuula ne bala lyakwe?”’+ Lyena umwebe auti, ‘Yehova atila, “Kulya kwine imbwa shamyangiile umulopa wa kwa Nabote, e ko shikamyangila no mulopa+ obe wine.”’”
20 E lyo Ahabu aebele Eliya ati: “Wansanga we mulwani wandi!”+ Na o amwaswike ati: “Nakusanga. ‘Apo wapampamina pa kucita ifyabipa mu menso ya kwa Yehova,+
21 nkalenga ukakwate amacushi, nkepaya abakatuntuka muli iwe kabili nkalofya abaume+ bobe bonse,* kumo na bashakwata abakubafwa na balanda mu Israele.+
22 Kabili nkalenga ing’anda yobe ikabe nge ng’anda ya kwa Yeroboamu+ umwana wa kwa Nebati, kabili ikabe nge ng’anda ya kwa Baasha+ umwana wa kwa Ahiya, pantu wankalifya kabili walenga abena Israele babembuka.’
23 Pali Yesebele napo Yehova atile: ‘Imbwa shikalya Yesebele mu mpanga ya Yesreele.+
24 Onse uwa mu lupwa lwa kwa Ahabu uukafwila mu musumba, imbwa shikamulya, kabili onse uukafwila mu mpanga, ifyuni fya mu lwelele fikamulya.+
25 Takwatala akuba umuntu uwaba nga Ahabu+ uwapampamine fye pa kucita ifyabipa mu menso ya kwa Yehova. Umukashi wakwe Yesebele+ e walemutunka.
26 Ifyo alecita fyalibipishe pantu alepepa utulubi twa bunani* nga filya fine abena Amore abo Yehova atamfiisheko abena Israele+ balecita.’”
27 Ilyo Ahabu aumfwile fye aya mashiwi, alepwile ifya kufwala fyakwe e lyo afwala insamu. Atendeke ukufunga kabili aleele fye panshi ninshi nafwala insamu kabili ale-enda fye bulanda bulanda.
28 Lyena Yehova alandile na Eliya umwina Tishbe ati:
29 “Bushe naumona ifyo Ahabu aicefeshe pa mulandu wandi?+ Apo naicefya kuli ine, nshakalete amacushi ilyo acili no mweo. Lelo nkaleta amacushi pa ng’anda yakwe mu nshiku sha mwana wakwe.”+
