1 Davide atapitirira pangʼono pamwamba pa phiri, anakumana ndi Ziba mtumiki wa Mefiboseti akudikira kuti akumane naye. Iye anali ndi abulu a chishalo pa msana ndipo ananyamula malofu a buledi 200, ntchintchi 100 za mphesa zowuma, zipatso za pa nthawi yachilimwe 100 ndi thumba la vinyo.

Dawid sian bepɔw no pɛ na ɔne Mefiboset somfo Siba hyiae. Na ɔwɔ mfurum abien a wɔahyehyɛ brodo mua ahannu, bobe aba a wɔabɔ no atɔwatɔw ɔha ne nsa nhoma kotoku ma wɔ wɔn so.

2 Mfumu inafunsa Ziba kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wabweretsa izi?” Ziba anayankha kuti, “Abuluwa ndi oti anthu a mʼbanja mwanu akwerepo, buledi ndi zipatso ndi za anthu anu kuti adye, ndipo vinyoyo ndi woti atsitsimutse anthu amene atope mʼchipululu.”

Ɔhene no bisaa Siba se, “Na eyinom nso ɛ?” Na Siba buae se, “Mfurum no, mo nkurɔfo ntena wɔn so, na brodo no ne aduaba no, wɔmfa mma mmerante no na wonni. Na nsa no nso, momfa nkɔ sare so hɔ, na wɔn a ɔbrɛ nti wɔbɛtɔ beraw no anom.”

3 Kenaka mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Kodi chidzukulu cha mbuye wako chili kuti?” Ziba anati kwa iye, “Watsalira ku Yerusalemu chifukwa akuganiza kuti, ‘Lero Aisraeli andibwezera ufumu wa agogo anga.’”

Na ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Na Mefiboset wɔ he?” Siba buae se, “Ɔkaa Yerusalem. Ɔkae se, ‘Nnɛ, mɛsan agye me nena Saulo ahemman no.’”

4 Ndipo mfumu inati kwa Ziba, “Zonse zimene zinali za Mefiboseti ndi zako tsopano.” Ziba anati, “Ine modzichepetsa ndikukugwandirani, mbuye wanga mfumu, kuti ndipeze chisomo pamaso panu.”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Siba se, “Sɛ saa na ɛte de a, mede biribiara a ɛyɛ Mefiboset dea no rema wo.” Siba buae se, “Meda wo ase awura. Bere biara, biribiara a wobɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, mɛyɛ.”

5 Mfumu Davide itayandikira Bahurimu, munthu wochokera ku fuko limodzi ndi banja la Sauli anabwera kuchokera mʼmenemo. Dzina lake linali Simei, mwana wa Gera ndipo amatukwana pamene amabwera.

Bere a ɔhene Dawid ne ne nkurɔfo retwa mu wɔ Bahurim no, ɔbarima bi pue fii akuraa no ase bɛdomee wɔn. Na saa ɔbarima no din de Simei, Gera a ɔyɛ Saulo busuani babarima.

6 Iye amagenda Davide miyala ndi akuluakulu onse a mfumu, ngakhale kuti ankhondo onse ndi oteteza Davide anali ali kumanzere ndi kumanja kwake.

Ɔpaa Dawid ne ne mpanyimfo ne asraafo a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nyinaa abo.

7 Potukwana, Simeiyo amati, “Choka iwe, choka iwe, munthu wopha anthu, munthu wachabechabe iwe!

Ɔteɛɛ mu guu Dawid so se, “Fi ha kɔ! Mogyapɛfo a ɔte sɛ wo! Ohuhuni!

8 Yehova wakubwezera chifukwa cha magazi onse amene unakhetsa pa nyumba ya Sauli, yemwe iwe ukulamulira mʼmalo mwake. Yehova wapereka ufumu kwa mwana wako Abisalomu. Ndipo ona mathero ako ndi amenewa chifukwa ndiwe munthu wopha anthu!”

Awurade atua wo ka sɛ wuhwiee Saulo ne ne fifo mogya gui. Wuwiaa nʼahengua, na afei Awurade de ahemman no ahyɛ wo babarima Absalom nsa. Wobɛnom wʼankasa wʼaduru, mogyapɛfo.”

9 Ndipo Abisai mwana wa Zeruya anati kwa mfumu, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani galu wakufa uyu akutukwana mbuye wanga mfumu? Ndiloleni ndipite kuti ndikadule mutu wake.”

Na Seruia babarima Abisai bisaa ɔhene no se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkraman funu yi tumi dome me wura ɔhene? Ma menkɔ na minkotwa ne ti.”

10 Koma mfumu inati, “Inu ana a Zeruya, kodi ndikuchitireni chiyani? Ngati iye akutukwana chifukwa Yehova wamuwuza kuti, ‘Tukwana Davide,’ angafunse ndani kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuchita zimenezi?’”

Nanso ɔhene no kae se, “Dɛn na me ne mo Seruia mmabarima bɛyɛ? Sɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ no se, ɔnnome me a, me ne hena a metumi aka akyerɛ no se onnyae?”

11 Tsono Davide anati kwa Abisai ndi akuluakulu ake onse, “Mwana wanga wobereka ndekha akufuna kundipha. Nanji tsono munthu wa fuko la Benjamini uyu! Musiyeni; mulekeni atukwane pakuti Yehova wachita kumuwuza kuti atero.

Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Abisai ne ne mpanyimfo se, “Me babarima a ɔyɛ mʼankasa mogya pɛ sɛ okum me. Na dɛn na esiw Saulo busuani ho kwan sɛ ɔnyɛ saa ara. Munnyaa no, momma ɔnnome, efisɛ Awurade na waka akyerɛ no se ɔnyɛ saa.

12 Mwina Yehova adzaona mazunzo anga ndipo adzandibwezera zabwino chifukwa cha kutukwanidwa kumene ndikulandira lero.”

Ebia Awurade behu sɛ wɔreyɛ me bɔne, na ɔde papa atua me nnome a me nsa aka no nnɛ yi no so ka.”

13 Kotero Davide ndi anthu ake anapitirira kuyenda mu msewu pamene Simei amayenda mʼmbali mwa phiri moyangʼanana naye akutukwana ndi kuponya miyala pamene amayenda nʼkumamutsiranso dothi.

Enti Dawid ne ne mmarima toaa so kɔɔ wɔn kwan a saa bere no, na Simei nso nam bepɔw bi a ɛbɛn wɔn so. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔredome, totow abo bɔ Dawid, tu mfutuma gu wim.

14 Mfumu ndi anthu ake onse anafika kumene amapita atatopa kwambiri. Ndipo kumeneko anapumula.

Ɔhene ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa brɛɛ wɔ ɔkwan so nti, woduu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, wogyee wɔn ahome.

15 Pa nthawi imeneyi Abisalomu ndi Aisraeli ena onse anabwera ku Yerusalemu, Ahitofele anali naye.

Absalom ne Israel mmarima nyinaa baa Yerusalem a Ahitofel ka wɔn ho.

16 Tsono Husai Mwariki bwenzi la Davide anapita kwa Abisalomu ndipo anati kwa iye, “Ikhale ndi moyo wautali mfumu! Ikhale ndi moyo wautali mfumu!”

Na Husai a ofi Arki a ɔyɛ Dawid adamfo no, kɔɔ Absalom nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔhene nkwa so! Ɔhene nkwa so!”

17 Abisalomu anafunsa Husai, “Kodi ichi ndi chikondi chimene ukumuonetsa bwenzi lako? Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunapite ndi bwenzi lako?”

Na Absalom bisaa Husai se, “Eyi ne ɔkwan a wode wʼadamfo Dawid fa so? Adɛn nti na wo ne wʼadamfo ankɔ?”

18 Husai anati kwa Abisalomu, “Ayi, ndidzakhala wake wa amene Yehova wamusankha, wosankhidwa ndi anthu awa ndi anthu onse a Israeli, ndipo ndidzakhala wake nthawi zonse.

Husai ka kyerɛɛ Absalom se, “Mewɔ ha efisɛ meyɛ adwuma ma ɔbarima a Awurade ne Israel ayi no.

19 Kodi ndidzatumikiranso yani? Kodi sinditumikira mwana wa mfumu? Monga momwe ndinatumikira abambo anu, kotero ndidzatumikiranso inu.”

Nea ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, hena na ɛsɛ sɛ mesom no? Sɛnea mesom wʼagya no, saa ara na mɛsom wo.”

20 Abisalomu anati kwa Ahitofele, “Tiwuze malangizo ako. Kodi tichite chiyani?”

Absalom dan ne ho bisaa Ahitofel se, “Dɛn bio na menyɛ?”

21 Ahitofele anayankha kuti, “Mugone ndi azikazi a abambo anu amene awasiya kuti asamalire nyumba yaufumu. Aisraeli onse adzamva kuti mwachitira abambo anu chinthu chonyansa kotheratu ndipo anthu onse amene ali ndi iwe adzalimbikitsidwa.”

Ahitofel buaa no se, “Kɔ na wo ne wʼagya mpenanom no nna, efisɛ wagyaw wɔn hɔ sɛ wɔnhwɛ ahemfi hɔ. Ɛno bɛma Israel nyinaa ahu sɛ, woabu no animtiaa a ɛboro nkabom so, na wɔde wɔn ho bɛma wo.”

22 Choncho anamangira tenti Abisalomu pa denga la nyumba ndipo iye anagona ndi azikazi a abambo ake Aisraeli onse akuona.

Enti wosii ntamadan wɔ ahemfi no atifi baabi a obiara behu, na Absalom kɔɔ ntamadan no mu, na ɔne nʼagya mpenanom no dae.

23 Tsono masiku amenewo malangizo amene Ahitofele amapereka anali ngati mawu ochokera kwa Mulungu. Umu ndi mmene Davide ndi Abisalomu amalandirira malangizo onse a Ahitofele.

Absalom tiee Ahitofel afotu sɛnea Dawid yɛe no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Na asɛm biara a efi Ahitofel anom bae no mu nyansa no yɛɛ sɛnea efi Onyankopɔn anom.
