10 Nunku Bene-hadada wakamutumina mukenji eu ne: “Nzambi ingenzele nunku ne ipitshishe apu bikalaku lupuishi lukumbane mu Samalea bua kupesha bantu badi bandonda dianza tente!” 11 Mukalenge wa Isalele wakandamuna ne: “Muambilayi ne: ‘Muntu udi uvuala bia mvita biende kena ne bua kuditumbisha bu muntu udi ubikopola to.’”+ 12 Diakamue pavuaye mumvue diandamuna adi, pavuaye yeye ne bakalenge bavuaye nabu benda banua maluvu mu ntenta* yabu, wakambila bena mudimu bende ne: “Dilongololayi bua kuya kubela mvita!” Nunku bakadilongolola bua kuya kuluisha tshimenga.

13 Kadi muprofete kampanda wakaya kudi Ahaba+ mukalenge wa Isalele, kuambaye ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Udi mumone tshisumbu tshinene tshia bantu tshionso etshi anyi? Tangila, ndi ntshifila mu tshianza tshiebe lelu, ne dîba adi neumanye ne: meme ndi Yehowa.’”+ 14 Ahaba wakebeja ne: “Ku tshianza tshia nganyi?” Yeye kuamba ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Ku tshianza tshia bambuluishi ba bakokeshi ba mu maprovense.’”* Ke Ahaba kuebeja ne: “Nnganyi wabanga mvita?” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Nguewe!”

15 Nunku Ahaba wakabala bambuluishi ba bakokeshi ba mu maprovense, bavua 232; pashishe wakabala basalayi bena Isalele bonso, bavua 7 000. 16 Bakapatuka munda munya pavua Bene-hadada unua mukuatshike mu ntenta* pamue ne bakalenge 32 bavua bamuambuluisha. 17 Pavua bambuluishi ba bakokeshi ba mu maprovense bapatuke bua musangu wa kumpala, diakamue Bene-hadada wakatuma bantu bua kumona tshivua tshienzeka. Bakalua kumuambila ne: “Bantu mbapatuke mu Samalea.” 18 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Bobu bapatuke bua ditalala, nubakuate ne muoyo; anyi bobu bapatuke bua mvita, nudi ne bua kubakuata anu ne muoyo.” 19 Kadi pavua bantu abu, mmumue ne: bambuluishi ba bakokeshi ba mu maprovense ne biluilu bivua bibalonda bapatuke mu tshimenga, 20 yonso wa kudibu wakashipa muluishi wende. Pashishe bena Sulia bakanyema,+ ne bena Isalele bakabalondakaja, kadi Bene-hadada mukalenge wa Sulia wakabanda pa kabalu, kunyemaye pamue ne bendeshi ba tubalu bakuabu. 21 Kadi mukalenge wa Isalele wakapatuka ne wakatungunuka ne kushipa baluishi bavua pa tubalu ne mu matempu, ne wakatshimuna* bena Sulia bikole menemene.

22 Pashishe muprofete au+ wakasemena kudi mukalenge wa Isalele, kumuambilaye ne: “Ndaku, udikoleshe ne wele meji bua tshiudi ne bua kuenza,+ bualu ku ntuadijilu kua tshidimu* tshidi tshilua mukalenge wa Sulia neabande bua kukuluisha.”+

23 Mpindieu bena mudimu ba mukalenge wa Sulia bakamuambila ne: “Nzambi wabu nNzambi wa ku mikuna. Ke bualu kayi bavua batupite bukole. Kadi tuetu baluangene nabu mu buloba bulandakane, netubapite bukole. 24 Enza kabidi nunku: Umbusha bakalenge bonso+ pa miaba yabu, upingajapu banguvena. 25 Pashishe usangishe* tshiluilu tshia muomumue ne tshiuvua mujimije, kabalu ku kabalu kakuabu ne ditempu ku ditempu dikuabu. Mpindieu tuluangane nabu mu buloba bulandakane, ne kakuyi mpata netubapite bukole.” Nunku wakateleja lungenyi luabu, kuenzaye anu muvuabu bamuambile.

26 Ku ntuadijilu kua tshidimu,* Bene-hadada wakasangisha bena Sulia, kubandaye ku Afeke+ bua kuluisha Isalele. 27 Bena Isalele bakadisangisha pabu, bobu kuangata biakudia, kupatukabu bua kusambakena nabu. Pavua bena Isalele base tshitudilu batangilangane nabu, bavua anu bu tusumbu tubidi tukese tua mbuji, pavua eku bena Sulia buwuje buloba buonso.+ 28 Pashishe muntu wa Nzambi mulelela wakaya kudi mukalenge wa Isalele, kumuambilaye ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Bu mudi bena Sulia bambe ne: “Yehowa nNzambi wa ku mikuna, kena Nzambi wa mu mpata,” nemfile tshisumbu tshinene tshia bantu etshi mu tshianza tshiebe,+ ne neumanye bushuwa ne: meme ndi Yehowa.’”+

29 Bakashala base bitudilu biabu bitangilangane matuku muanda mutekete, ne dituku dia muanda mutekete mvita yakatuadija. Bena Isalele bakashipa basalayi bena Sulia bavua benda ku makasa binunu 100 mu dituku dimue. 30 Bantu bavua bashale bakanyemena ku Afeke,+ munda mua tshimenga. Kadi tshimanu tshiakakulukila bantu binunu 27 ba ku bantu bavua bashale. Bene-hadada wakanyema pende kubuelaye mu tshimenga, kusokomaye mu nzubu kampanda wa munda.

31 Nunku bena mudimu bende bakamuambila ne: “Tangila, tudi bumvue ne: bakalenge ba nzubu wa Isalele mbakalenge batu ne luse.* Tudi tukulomba ne: tuvuale bilamba bikayabale mu bimono bietu ne tusuike mionji ku mitu yetu ne tupatuke tuye kudi mukalenge wa Isalele. Pamuapa yeye udi mua kusungila muoyo* webe.”+ 32 Nunku bakavuala bilamba bikayabale mu bimono, kusuikabu mionji ku mitu, kuluabu kudi mukalenge wa Isalele, kumuambilabu ne: “Muena mudimu webe Bene-hadada udi wamba ne: ‘Bua luse, nshiyaku* ne muoyo.’” Wakandamuna ne: “Utshidi ne muoyo anyi? Yeye mmuanetu.” 33 Bantu aba bakangata dîyi adi bu tshimanyinu tshidi tshileja bualu buimpe buikala ne bua kuenzeka, bobu kuitaba dîyi diende, ke kuambabu ne: “Bene-hadada mmuanenu.” Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Ndayi nulue nende.” Nunku Bene-hadada wakaya kudiye, yeye kumubandisha mu ditempu.

34 Mpindieu Bene-hadada wakamuambila ne: “Nenkupingajile bimenga bivua tatu munyenge tatuebe, ne udi mua kuditekela bisalu* mu Damaseke anu muvua tatu muenze mu Samalea.”

Ahaba wakandamuna ne: “Bilondeshile diumvuangana edi,* ndi nkulekela uye.”

Ke bobu kusuika nende dîyi, yeye kumulekela uya.

35 Ku dîyi dia Yehowa, umue wa ku bana ba baprofete*+ wakambila mukuende ne: “Nkuma koku.” Kadi muntu au wakabenga bua kumukuma. 36 Nunku wakamuambila ne: “Bu muudi mubenge kuteleja dîyi dia Yehowa, diakamue patudi tushiyangana nebe, ntambue neakushipe.” Pakashiyanganabu, ntambue wakalua kudiye, kumushipaye.

37 Wakapeta muntu mukuabu, kumuambilaye ne: “Nkuma koku.” Nunku muntu au wakamukuma, kumutapaye.

38 Pashishe muprofete au wakaya kuindila mukalenge kumpenga kua njila, musuike tshilamba ku mêsu bua kudisokoka. 39 Pavua mukalenge upita, muprofete wakamuela dîyi ne: “Muena mudimu webe uvua muye muaba uvua mvita mikole yenzekela, ne kuvua muntu kampanda uvua upatuka, kuluaye ne muntu mukuabu kundi, kungambilaye ne: ‘Lama muntu eu. Yeye mujimine, muoyo webe neupingane pa muaba wa muoyo wende,*+ anyi neufute ntalanta* wa arjan. 40 Pavua muena mudimu webe wenza malu makuabu eku ne eku, diakamue muntu au wakanyema.” Mukalenge wa Isalele wakamuambila ne: “Nunku ke muikala dilumbuluisha diebe; udi mudikoseladi wewe nkayebe.” 41 Ke yeye kumbusha tshilamba tshivuaye natshi ku mêsu lukasa, ne mukalenge wa Isalele wakamona ne: uvua umue wa ku baprofete.+ 42 Wakamuambila ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Bu muudi mulekele muntu umvua muambe ne: uvua ne bua kubutudibua unyema mu tshianza tshiebe,+ muoyo webe udi ne bua kupingana pa muaba wa muoyo wende,*+ ne tshisamba tshiebe pa muaba wa tshisamba tshiende.’”+ 43 Nunku mukalenge wa Isalele wakapingana kuende ku Samalea+ mubungame ne muteketangane.
