3 Yeholama+ muana wa Ahaba uvua mulue mukalenge wa Isalele mu Samalea mu tshidimu tshia 18 tshia Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda, ne wakakokesha bidimu 12.
2 Uvua anu wenza malu mabi ku mêsu kua Yehowa, kadi ki mbu tatuende anyi mamuende to, bualu uvua mumbushe makunji a tshijila a Bâla avua tatuende muenze.+
3 Kadi wakalamata ku mpekatu ivua Yalobama muana wa Nebata mufikishe Isalele ku dienza.+ Kavua muyilekele to.
4 Mpindieu Mesha mukalenge wa Moaba uvua mumunyi wa mikoko, ne uvua ne tshibidilu tshia kulambula mukalenge wa Isalele bana ba mikoko binunu 100 ne bimpanga bia mikoko binunu 100 bivuabu kabayi bakose miosa.
5 Diakamue pakafua Ahaba,+ mukalenge wa Moaba wakatombokela mukalenge wa Isalele.+
6 Nunku mukalenge Yeholama wakapatuka mu Samalea tshikondo atshi ne wakasangisha Isalele mujima.
7 Wakatumina kabidi Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda mukenji wamba ne: “Mukalenge wa Moaba mmuntombokele. Neuye nanyi ku mvita bua kuluisha Moaba anyi?” Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Nenye.+ Meme ndi bu wewe. Bantu banyi badi bu bantu bebe. Tubalu tuanyi tudi bu tubalu tuebe.”+
8 Pashishe wakebeja ne: “Netubandile njila kayi?” Wakandamuna ne: “Njila wa tshipela tshia Edome.”
9 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakasa luendu ne mukalenge wa Yuda ne mukalenge wa Edome.+ Bobu bamane kuenza luendu matuku muanda mutekete benda banyunguluka, kuakapangika mâyi bua tshiluilu ne bua bimuna bivua bienda bibalonda.
10 Mukalenge wa Isalele wakamba ne: “Edi ndiakabi kayi edi! Yehowa mmubikile bakalenge basatu aba anu bua kubafila mu tshianza tshia Moaba!”
11 Ke Yehoshafata kuebeja ne: “Kakuenaku muprofete wa Yehowa muaba eu utudi mua kuebeja Yehowa malu ku butuangaji buende anyi?”+ Nunku umue wa ku bena mudimu ba mukalenge wa Isalele wakandamuna ne: “Elisha+ muana wa Shafata uvua wela Eliya mâyi ku bianza* udiku.”+
12 Nunku Yehoshafata wakamba ne: “Yeye udi ne dîyi dia Yehowa.” Ke mukalenge wa Isalele ne Yehoshafata ne mukalenge wa Edome kupuekabu kudiye.
13 Elisha wakambila mukalenge wa Isalele ne: “Ndi nebe tshilumbu kayi?*+ Ndaku kudi baprofete ba tatuebe ne kudi baprofete ba mamuebe.”+ Kadi mukalenge wa Isalele wakamba ne: “Tòo, bualu Yehowa ke udi mubikile bakalenge basatu aba bua kubafila mu tshianza tshia Moaba.”
14 Ke Elisha kuamba ne: “Bushuwa anu bu mudi Yehowa wa biluilu undi ngenzela mudimu* muikale ne muoyo, bu meme tshiyi nnemeka Yehoshafata+ mukalenge wa Yuda, tshivua mua kukutangila anyi kutangila bualu buebe to.+
15 Mpindieu luayi ne muimbi wa lunzenze.”*+ Diakamue pakatuadija muimbi wa lunzenze kuimba, tshianza tshia Yehowa tshiakalua kudiye.+
16 Wakamba ne: “Yehowa udi wamba nunku: ‘Umbulayi minkoloji milondangane mu tshibandabanda* emu,
17 Bualu Yehowa udi wamba ne: “Kanuakumona lupepele, kanuakumona mvula to; kadi tshibandabanda* etshi netshiuwule ne mâyi,+ ne nenunue mâyi au, nuenu ne bimuna bienu ne nyama yenu mikuabu.”’
18 Kadi ebu mbualu bukese ku mêsu kua Yehowa,+ bualu neafile kabidi Moaba mu tshianza tshienu.+
19 Nudi ne bua kubutula tshimenga tshionso tshikolesha+ ne tshimenga tshionso tshimpe menemene, nudi ne bua kukosa mutshi muimpe wonso, nudi ne bua kujika mishimi ya mâyi yonso, ne nudi ne bua kunyangakaja tshitupa tshionso tshia buloba buimpe ne mabue.”+
20 Nunku mu dinda, dîba divuabu bafila mulambu wa ntete wa mu dinda,+ mâyi akafumina diakamue luseke lua ku Edome, ne buloba buakuwula ne mâyi.
21 Bena Moaba bonso bakumvua ne: bakalenge bavua babande bua kuluangana nabu, nunku bakabikila bantu balume bonso bavua mua kuambula bia mvita,* ne bakimana ku mikalu ya buloba buabu.
22 Pakajukabu mu dinda menemene, dîba divua dikenkesha mâyi, ne mâyi avua amueneka bu mashi kudi bena Moaba bavua dia muamua.
23 Bakamba ne: “Mmashi! Bakalenge mbashipangane ne muele wa mvita bulelela. Nunku mpindieu wewe Moaba, ndaku upawule bintu!”+
24 Pakabuelabu mu tshitudilu tshia Isalele, bena Isalele bakajuka ne bakatuadija kushipa bena Moaba, bena Moaba kutuadijabu kubanyema.+ Bakabuela mu Moaba, benda bashipa bena Moaba benda baya.
25 Bakabumbula bimenga, ne muntu yonso wakakupa dibue mu tshitupa tshionso tshia buloba buimpe, batshiuwuja ne mabue; bakajika mushimi wonso wa mâyi,+ ne bakupula mutshi muimpe wonso.+ Ndekelu wa bionso anu bimanu bia mabue bia Kile-halaseta+ ke bivua bishale bimane, ne bantu bavua bakupa mabue ne ndundu ya kukupa nayi mabue bakamujingila ne kumupulabu.
26 Pavua mukalenge wa Moaba mumone ne: uvua mupangile mvita, wakangata bantu 700 bikale ne miele ya mvita bua kupanda njila kuya kudi mukalenge wa Edome;+ kadi kabakakumbana to.
27 Nunku wakangata muanende muanabute uvua ne bua kukokesha pa muaba wende, kumulambulaye pa tshimanu bu mulambu wa kuosha.+ Nunku kuakajuka tshiji tshikole bua Isalele, ke kulekelabu kumuluisha, kupinganabu mu buloba buabu.
