1Morago ga dilo tseo ga dirafala se: Nabothe wa Iserele a bo a na le tshimo ya moweine mo Iserele, e bapile le ntlo ya bogosi ya ga Ahabe kgosi ya Samaria. 2Jaanong Ahabe a bua le Nabothe a re: “Nneele tshimo ya gago ya moweine gore e nne tshimo ya me ya merogo, ka e le gaufi le ntlo ya me. Boemong jwa yona ke tla go naya tshimo ya moweine e e e gaisang, gongwe fa o rata ke tla go naya madi a tlhwatlhwa ya yona.”
3Mme Nabothe a raya Ahabe a re: “A Morena a nkganele go go neela boswa jwa borre.”
4Ahabe a ba a fitlha kwa ntlong ya gagwe a ngadile a galefile ka ntlha ya lefoko le Nabothe wa Iserele o le buileng nae a re: “Ga nkitla ke go neela boswa jwa borre!” A ba a robala mo bolaong jwa gagwe a fitlhile sefatlhego, a sa batle le dijo. 5Mme Isebele mosadi wa gagwe a tla kwa go ene, a mmotsa a re: “Ke eng fa mowa wa gago o ngadile mo o bileng o sa je dijo?”
6A mo araba a re: “Ke ka gonne ke buile le Nabothe wa Iserele, ka mo raya ka re: ‘Nneela tshimo ya moweine ya gago ka madi, gongwe fa go go kgatlha ke ka go naya tshimo e nngwe ya moweine mo boemong jwa yona.’ Mme ene a re: ‘Ga nka ke ka go neela tshimo ya me ya moweine.’ ”
7Ke fa Isebele mosadi wa gagwe a mo raya a re: “A ke gona go busa Baiseraele? Tsoga o je dijo, mme pelo ya gago e itumele! Ke nna ke tla go neelang tshimo ya moweine ya ga Nabothe wa Iserele.”
8Jaanong mosadi a kwala dikwalo ka leina la ga Ahabe, a di kana ka sekano sa gagwe, a di romela kwa bagolong le kwa batlotleging ba ba agileng le Nabothe mo motseng wa ga gabo. 9A kwala mo dikwalong a re: “Tlhabang mokgosi lo re: Itimeng dijo! Lo bee Nabothe fa pele ga morafe. 10Lo be lo bee banna ba le babedi ba ba maaka, lo ba lebaganye nae, ba supe ka ga gagwe ba re: ‘O hutsitse Modimo le kgosi.’ Jaanong lo mo ntshetse kwa ntle, lo mo kgobotletse ka majwe gore a swe.”
11Banna ba motse wa ga gabo, e bong bagolo le batlotlegi ba ba neng ba agile mo motseng wa ga gabo ba dira ka fa taelong e ba e rometsweng ke Isebele, jaaka go ne go kwadilwe mo dikwalong tse o di ba rometseng: 12Ba tlhaba mokgosi ba re: “Itimeng dijo!” Ba baya Nabothe fa pele ga morafe. 13Ke fa go tla banna ba babedi ba balotsana, ba nna fa pele ga gagwe; banna bao ba balotsana ba supa ka ga Nabothe fa pele ga morafe ba re: “Nabothe o hutsitse Modimo le kgosi.” Ba be ba mo ntshetsa kwa ntle ga motse, ba mo kgobotletsa ka majwe, a ba a swa. 14Jaanong ba roma kwa go Isebele ba re: “Nabothe o kgobotleditswe, o bile o sule.”
15Ya re Isebele a utlwa go twe, Nabothe o kgobotleditswe, o bile o sule, a raya Ahabe a re: “Nanoga o ye go tsaya tshimo ya moweine ya ga Nabothe wa Iserele yo o ganneng go e go neela ka madi. Gonne Nabothe ga a tlhole a phela, mme o sule.” 16Ya re Ahabe a utlwa gore Nabothe o sule, a nanoga a fologela kwa tshimong ya moweine ya ga Nabothe wa Iserele go e tsaya.
17Mme lefoko la Morena la tla kwa go Elia wa Thišebe la re: 18“Nanoga o fologe go kgatlhantsha Ahabe kgosi ya Iseraele yo o nnang kwa Samaria. O kwa tshimong ya ga Nabothe, o fologetse teng go e tsaya. 19O mo ree o re: ‘Morena o bua jaana a re: A o bolaile, o bile o tsere?’ O be o mo ree o re: ‘Morena o bua jaana a re: Mo felong kwa dintšwa di latswitseng madi a ga Nabothe teng madi a gago le ona dintšwa di tla a latswa teng.’ ”
20Ahabe a fetola Elia a re: “A o ntshwere, mmaba wa me?” Elia a re: “Ke go tshwere, ka o ineetse go dira tse di bosula mo matlhong a Morena. 21Morena a re: ‘Bona, ke tla go tlisetsa tatlhego, ke go feela, ke nyeletsa ba batonanyana botlhe ba gago, Ahabe, mo Iseraeleng, ke sa rekegele ope. 22Ke tla dira lelapa la gago jaaka lelapa la ga Jerobeame morwa Nebate le jaaka lelapa la ga Baesa morwa Ahia ka ntlha ya sekgopi se o se dirileng, wa leofisa Baiseraele ka sona.’ 23Le gona Morena o buile ka ga Isebele a re: ‘Dintšwa di tla ja Isebele fa loboteng lwa Iserele. 24Wa ga Ahabe yo o swelang mo motseng o tla jewa ke dintšwa; yo o swelang kwa nageng o tla jewa ke manong a loapi.’ ”
25Go ne go ise go ke go nne ope yo o tshwanang le Ahabe yo o neng a ineela go dira tse di bosula mo matlhong a Morena, ka ene Isebele mosadi wa gagwe a mo tlhotlheletsa jalo. 26A dira tse di maswe thata ka go latela medimo e e tenang, fela jaaka go ne go dira Baamori ba Morena o neng a ba leleka fa pele ga Baiseraele.
27Ya re Ahabe a utlwa mafoko ao, a ikgagola diaparo, a apara kgetse mo mmeleng, a itima dijo, a lala a e apere, a tsamaya ka khutsafalo.
28Ke fa lefoko la Morena le tla kwa go Elia wa Thišebe le re: 29“A o bonye jaaka Ahabe a ikokobetsa fa pele ga me? E re ka a ikokobetsa fa pele ga me, ga ke ne ke tlisa tatlhego mo malatsing a gagwe, ke tla e tlisetsa lelapa la gagwe mo malatsing a ga morwawe.”
