1Ngaleso sikhathi u-Abiya indodana kaJerobowamu wagula.
2UJerobowamu wayesethi kumkakhe: “Sukuma, uzifihle, ukuze ungazi ukuthi ungumkaJerobowamu; waya eShilo; bheka, nangu umprofethi u-Ahíya owangitshela ukuthi kufanele ngibe yinkosi phezu kwalaba bantu.
3Thatha kanye nawe izinkwa eziyishumi, namaqebelengwane, nembiza yoju, uye kuye; uzokutshela okuzokwenzeka ngomntwana.
4UmkaJerobowamu wenze njalo, wasuka, waya eShilo, wafika endlini ka-Ahiya; Kodwa u-Ahiya wayengaboni; ngoba amehlo akhe ayebomvu ngenxa yobudala bakhe.
5UJehova wayesethi ku-Ahiya: “Bheka, umkaJerobowamu uyeza ukuzocela kuwe ngendodana yakhe; ngoba uyagula; ngakho-ke kufanele umtshele: ngoba uma engena, uzozenza omunye umfazi.
6Lapho u-Ahiya esizwa izisinde zezinyawo zakhe lapho engena emnyango, wathi: “Ngena, mkaJerobowamu! kungani uzenza omunye umuntu? ngoba ngithunywe kini umbiko onzima.
7Hamba, uthi kuJerobowamu: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: Ngokuba ngikuphakamisile phakathi kwabantu, ngakubeka umbusi phezu kwabantu bami u-Israyeli,
8Uklebhule umbuso endlini kaDavide, uwunike wena; nokho wawungenjengenceku yami uDavide, owagcina imiyalo yami, owangilandela ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke ukuba enze okulungile kimi kuphela amehlo;
9Kepha wena wenze okubi kakhulu kunakho konke okwakungaphambi kwakho, ngokuba uhambile, wazenzela abanye onkulunkulu nezithombe ezibunjiweyo ukuba udlale ngami, wangilahla emva kwakho.
10Ngakho-ke, bheka, ngiyokwehlisela ububi phezu kwendlu kaJerobowamu, futhi ngiyonquma kuJerobowamu olwa nogange, novalelweyo nosele kwa-Israyeli, ngisuse insali yendlu ka-Israyeli. UJerobowamu, njengomuntu osusa umquba uze uphele.
11Bonke bakwaJerobowamu abafela emzini, izinja ziyakudliwa; ofela endle uyakudla izinyoni zezulu, ngokuba uJehova ukukhulumile.
12Khona-ke sukuma, uye endlini yakho; uma izinyawo zakho zingena emzini, umntwana uyakufa.
13Wonke u-Israyeli uyakumlilela, amngcwabe, ngokuba nguye yedwa wakwaJerobowamu oyakungena ethuneni, ngokuba kwafunyanwa kuye okuhle kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli endlini kaJerobowamu.
14Futhi uJehova uyakumvusela inkosi kwa-Israyeli eyakuchitha indlu kaJerobowamu ngalolo suku; kodwa yini? ngisho namanje.
15Ngokuba uJehova uyakumshaya u-Israyeli njengokunyakaziswa kohlanga emanzini, anqume u-Israyeli kuleli zwe elihle alinika oyise, abahlakazele ngaphesheya koMfula, ngokuba bazenzele izihlahla ezingcwele, oklolodela uJehova.
16Iyakukhulula u-Israyeli ngenxa yezono zikaJerobowamu ona ngazo, onisa ngazo u-Israyeli;
17UmkaJerobowamu wayesesuka, wahamba, wafika eTirisa; lapho efika embundwini womnyango, umntwana wafa;
18Basebemngcwaba; wonke u-Israyeli wamlilela njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngesandla senceku yakhe u-Ahiya umprofethi.
19Ezinye izindaba zikaJerobowamu, ukuthi walwa kanjani nokuthi wabusa kanjani, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
20Izinsuku zokubusa kukaJerobowamu zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili; walala koyise, uNadabi indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
21URehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni wabusa kwaJuda. URehobowamu wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi uJehova awukhethile ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli ukuba amise khona igama lakhe. Igama likanina lalinguNahama wakwa-Amoni.
22UJuda wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, bamvusela umhawu ngezono zabo abazenzayo ngaphezu kwakho konke ababekwenzile oyise.
23Bazakhela nabo izindawo eziphakemeyo, nezithombe, neziqu zemithi phezu kwawo wonke amagquma aphakeme naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.
24Kwakukhona nabaseSodoma ezweni, benza njengazo zonke izinengiso zezizwe uJehova azixosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
25Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wenkosi uRehobowamu, uShishaki, inkosi yaseGibithe, wenyukela eJerusalema.
