Mukanda Muibidi wa Kulondolola 18:1-34
18 Yehoshafata uvua ne bubanji ne butumbi bia bungi,+ kadi wakadia tshipungidi tshia dibaka ne Ahaba.+
2 Nunku pakapita bidimu wakapueka kudi Ahaba ku Samalea,+ ne Ahaba wakalambula mikoko ne ngombe bia bungi buende yeye ne bua bantu bavuaye nabu. Wakamusengelela* bua babande nende bua kuluisha Lamota-gilada.+
3 Ke Ahaba mukalenge wa Isalele kuambilaye Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda ne: “Neuye nanyi ku Lamota-gilada anyi?” Wakamuandamuna ne: “Meme ndi bu wewe, bantu banyi badi bu bantu bebe ne netukuambuluishe mu mvita.”
4 Kadi Yehoshafata wakambila mukalenge wa Isalele ne: “Anji ebejaku dîyi dia Yehowa.”+
5 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakasangisha baprofete pamue, bantu 400, kubebejaye ne: “Tuye ku mvita bua kuluisha Lamota-gilada anyi ndekele?” Bakandamuna ne: “Banda, ne Nzambi mulelela neamufile mu tshianza tshia mukalenge.”
6 Pashishe Yehoshafata wakamba ne: “Kakuenaku muprofete wa Yehowa muaba eu anyi?+ Tuebeje kabidi malu ku butuangaji buende.”+
7 Ke mukalenge wa Isalele kuambila Yehoshafata ne: “Kutshidi muntu mukuabu+ utudi mua kuebeja Yehowa malu ku butuangaji buende; kadi meme ndi mumukine, bualu katu wamba ne: malu mimpe neamfikile to, kadi anu malu mabi.+ M’Mikaya muana wa Yimela.” Kadi Yehoshafata wakamba ne: “Mukalenge kena ne bua kuamba bualu bua mushindu eu to.”
8 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakabikila muena mudimu kampanda wa mu lubanza lua mukalenge, kuambaye ne: “Luaku ne Mikaya muana wa Yimela lukasa lukasa.”+
9 Mpindieu mukalenge wa Isalele ne Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda bavua basombe muntu yonso mu nkuasa wende wa bukalenge, bavuale bilamba bia bukalenge; bavua basombe muaba wa tshishipuidi ku tshibuelelu tshia tshiibi tshia Samalea, ne baprofete bonso bavua bamba mêyi a buprofete kumpala kuabu.
10 Pashishe Sedekiya muana wa Kenâna wakadienzela nsengu ya tshiamu tshifiike, kuambaye ne: “Yehowa udi wamba nunku: ‘Neutue bena Sulia nsengu eyi* too ne pawababutula.’”
11 Baprofete bakuabu bonso bavua bamba mêyi a buprofete mushindu wa muomumue bamba ne: “Banda ku Lamota-gilada ne malu ebe neende bimpe;+ Yehowa neamufile mu tshianza tshia mukalenge.”
12 Nunku muntu uvuabu batume ne mukenji bua kubikila Mikaya wakamuambila ne: “Tangila! Baprofete badi dîyi dimue, bamba malu mimpe bua mukalenge. Mêyi ebe ikalaku bu mêyi abu,+ ne wakule bimpe bua mukalenge.”+
13 Kadi Mikaya wakamba ne: “Bushuwa, anu bu mudi Yehowa ne muoyo, tshionso tshidi Nzambi wanyi wamba ke tshingamba.”+
14 Nunku wakaya kudi mukalenge, mukalenge kumuebeja ne: “Mikaya, tuye ku mvita bua kuluisha Lamota-gilada, anyi ndekele?” Diakamue wakamuandamuna ne: “Banda ne malu ebe neende bimpe; nebafidibue mu tshianza tshienu.”
15 Ke mukalenge kumuambila ne: “Nenkutshipishe misangu bungi kayi bua kubenga kungambila bualu bukuabu kadi anu bulelela mu dîna dia Yehowa?”
16 Nunku wakamba ne: “Ndi mumone bena Isalele bonso batangalake pa mikuna bu mikoko idi kayiyi ne mulami.+ Yehowa wakamba ne: ‘Bantu aba kabena ne mfumu to. Muntu yonso apingane kuende mu ditalala.’”
17 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakambila Yehoshafata ne: “Tshivua mukuambile ne: ‘Kakuamba ne: malu mimpe neamfikile, anu malu mabi’ anyi?”+
18 Ke Mikaya kuamba ne: “Mpindieu teleja dîyi dia Yehowa: Mvua mumone Yehowa musombe mu nkuasa wende wa bukalenge+ ne tshiluilu tshionso tshia mu diulu+ tshimane ku dia balume diende ne ku dia bakaji diende.+
19 Pashishe Yehowa wakebeja ne: ‘Nnganyi wadingakaja Ahaba mukalenge wa Isalele bua abande ne afuile ku Lamota-gilada?’ Umue uvua wamba bualu bumue, ne mukuabu wamba bualu bukuabu.
20 Nunku nyuma* kampanda+ wakasemena kumpala, kuimanaye kumpala kua Yehowa, kuambaye ne: ‘Meme nemmudingakaje.’ Yehowa wakamuebeja ne: ‘Neumudingakaje mushindu kayi?’
21 Wakandamuna ne: ‘Nenye ne nendue nyuma udi udingangana mukana mua baprofete bende bonso.’ Nunku wakamba ne: ‘Neumudingakaje, ne bualu bukuabu, neukumbaje tshiudi uyila. Ndaku, wenze nanku.’
22 Nunku mpindieu Yehowa mmuele nyuma wa kudingangana mukana mua baprofete bebe aba,+ kadi Yehowa mmuambe ne: dikenga nedikukuate.”
23 Mpindieu Sedekiya+ muana wa Kenâna wakasemena, kukumaye Mikaya+ ku ditama,+ kuambaye ne: “Nyuma wa Yehowa mmumbuke kundi mupitshile njila kayi bua kuakula nebe?”+
24 Mikaya wakandamuna ne: “Tangila! Neumone njila uvuaye mupitshile dituku diwabuela mu nzubu wa munda menemene bua kusokoma.”
25 Pashishe mukalenge wa Isalele wakamba ne: “Angata Mikaya umufile kudi Amona mfumu wa tshimenga ne kudi Yoasha muana wa mukalenge.
26 Ubambile ne: ‘Mukalenge udi wamba nunku: “Elayi muntu eu mu buloko,+ ne nuikale numupesha mampa ne mâyi bungi bushadile too ne pangapingana mu ditalala.”’”
27 Kadi Mikaya wakamba ne: “Wewe anu mupingane mu ditalala, Yehowa ki mmuakule nanyi to.”+ Pashishe wakamba kabidi ne: “Nuenu bantu bonso, kuatayi bualu ebu.”
28 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele ne Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda bakabanda ku Lamota-gilada.+
29 Ke mukalenge wa Isalele kuambila Yehoshafata ne: “Nendivuije bu muntu mukuabu ne nenye mu mvita, kadi wewe udi ne bua kuvuala bilamba biebe bia bukalenge.” Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakadivuija bu muntu mukuabu, kubuelabu mu mvita.
30 Mpindieu, mukalenge wa Sulia uvua mutumine balombodi bende ba matempu dîyi ne: “Kanuluishi muntu mukuabu, mukese anyi munene to, nuluishe anu mukalenge wa Isalele.”
31 Diakamue pavua balombodi ba matempu bamone Yehoshafata, bakadiambila ne: “Eu ke mukalenge wa Isalele.” Nunku bakakudimuka bua kumuluisha; ne Yehoshafata wakatuadija kuela mbila ulomba diambuluisha,+ ne Yehowa wakamuambuluisha; Nzambi wakabayishila kua tshianana, kumbukabu kudiye diakamue.
32 Pavua balombodi ba matempu bamone ne: kavua mukalenge wa Isalele, bakapingana diakamue, kulekelabu kumulonda.
33 Kadi muntu kampanda wakela mukete ku mpukapuka,* kuasaye mukalenge wa Isalele pankatshi pa bilungidi bia kazaku kende ka mvita ka tuamu. Nunku mukalenge wakambila muntu uvua umuendesha mu ditempu ne: “Kudimuka, upatuke nanyi mu mvita,* bualu mbantape bibi be!”+
34 Mvita yakakunza dituku dijima adi, ne bavua ne bua kuimanyika mukalenge wa Isalele mu ditempu, mutangile bena Sulia too ne ku dilolo; wakafua pakabuela dîba.+
