The First Book of Kings 21: 17-29

21:17 Izwi likaJehova lafika ku-Eliya, umThishibhi, ethi:
21:18 “Sukuma, wehle ukuhlangabeza u-Ahabi, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, oseSamariya. Bheka, wehlela esivinini sikaNabhoti, ukuze alidle.
21:19 Futhi uzakhuluma kuye, ethi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi: Ubulele. Ngaphezu kwalokho nawe udlile.’ Futhi ngemva kwalokhu, uzongeza: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi: Kule ndawo, lapho izinja zikhothe igazi likaNabhothi, bayakukhotha igazi lakho.’ ”
21:20 U-Ahabi wayesethi ku-Eliya, “Ungitholile ukuthi ngiyisitha sakho?” Wathi: “Ngikutholile ukuthi udayisiwe, ukuze nenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova:
21:21 ‘Bheka, ngizakwehlisela ububi phezu kwakho. Futhi ngizoyinquma inzalo yakho. Futhi ngizobulala u-Ahabi noma ubani ochamela odongeni, nanoma yini elunyonga, futhi noma yini yokugcina kwa-Israyeli.
21:22 Futhi ngiyokwenza indlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, nanjengendlu kaBahasha, indodana ka-Ahiya. Ngoba wenze waze wangithukuthelisa, futhi wenza ukuba u-Israyeli one.’
21:23 Futhi ngoJezebeli futhi, iNkosi yakhuluma, ethi: ‘Izinja ziyomudla u-Izebeli ensimini yaseJizreyeli.
21:24 Uma u-Ahabi efele emzini, izinja zizomqeda. Kodwa uma eyofela endle, izinyoni zezulu ziyomqeda.’ ”
21:25 Manje, kwakungekho omunye umuntu ofana no-Ahabi, owathengiswa ukuze enze okubi emehlweni eNkosi. Kumkakhe, uJezebeli, wamncenga.
21:26 Futhi waba yisinengiso, waze walandela izithombe zama-Amori ayezenzile, iNkosi eyabaqeda phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
21:27 Khona-ke, lapho u-Ahabi esezwile lawa mazwi, waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wembatha indwangu yoboya emzimbeni wakhe, wazila ukudla, walala ngendwangu yamasaka, wahamba ebhekise ikhanda phansi.
21:28 Izwi likaJehova lafika ku-Eliya, umThishibhi, ethi:
21:29 “Awuboni yini ukuthi u-Ahabi uzithobe kanjani phambi kwami?? Ngakho-ke, njengoba esezithobile ngenxa yami, angiyikuhola okubi ezinsukwini zakhe. Kunalokho, ezinsukwini zendodana yakhe, ngizaletha ububi endlini yakhe.
