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 sianee bepɔ no pɛ na ɔne Mefiboset ɔsomfoɔ Siba hyiaeɛ. Na ɔdi mfunumu mmienu a wɔahyehyɛ burodo mua ahanu, bobe aba a wɔabɔ no ntowantowa ɔha ne nsã nwoma kotokuo 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 sɛ, “Na yeinom nso ɛ?” Na Siba buaa sɛ, “Mfunumu no, mo nkurɔfoɔ ntena wɔn so, na burodo no ne aduaba no, wɔmfa mma mmeranteɛ no na wɔnni. Na nsã no nso, momfa nkɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ, na wɔn a ɔbrɛ enti wɔbɛtɔ baha 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 sɛ, “Na Mefiboset wɔ he?” Siba buaa sɛ, “Ɔkaa Yerusalem. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Ɛnnɛ, mɛsane agye me nana 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 sɛ, “Sɛ saa na ɛte deɛ a, mede biribiara a ɛyɛ Mefiboset dea no mema wo.” Siba buaa sɛ, “Meda wo ase awura. Ɛberɛ 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.

Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Dawid ne ne nkurɔfoɔ retwam wɔ Bahurim no, ɔbarima bi pue firii 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 mpanimfoɔ ne akodɔm a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nyinaa aboɔ.

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

Ɔteaam guu Dawid so sɛ, “Firi hanom kɔ! Mogyapɛfoɔ a ɔte sɛ woɔ! Ɔsansani!

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 wohwiee Saulo ne ne fiefoɔ mogya guiɛ. Wowiaa nʼahennwa, na afei Awurade de ahemman no ahyɛ wo babarima Absalom nsa. Wobɛnom wʼankasa aduro, wo mogyapɛfoɔ.”

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

Ɛnna Seruia babarima Abisai bisaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkraman funu yi tumi dome me wura, ɔhene? Ma menkɔ na menkɔtwa 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 kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na me ne mo Seruia mmammarima bɛyɛ? Sɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ no sɛ, ɔnnome me a, me ne hwan a mɛtumi aka akyerɛ no sɛ ɔnnyae?”

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 mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Me babarima a ɔyɛ mʼankasa mogya pɛ sɛ ɔkum me. Na ɛdeɛn na ɛsi Saulo busuani ho kwan sɛ ɔnyɛ saa ara. Monnyaa no, momma ɔnnome, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade na waka akyerɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa.

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

Ebia, Awurade bɛhunu sɛ wɔreyɛ me bɔne, na ɔde papa atua me nnome a me nsa aka no ɛnnɛ 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 ɛkwan a saa ɛberɛ no, na Simei nso nam bepɔ bi a ɛbɛn wɔn so. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔredome, toto aboɔ bɔ Dawid, tu mfuturo gu ewiem.

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

Ɔhene ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa brɛeɛ wɔ ɛkwan so enti, wɔduruu Asubɔnten Yordan ho no, wɔgyee 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 ɔfiri Arki a ɔyɛ Dawid adamfo no, kɔɔ Absalom nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “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 sɛ, “Yei ne ɛkwan a wode wʼadamfo Dawid fa soɔ? Adɛn enti 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 sɛ, “Mewɔ ha ɛfiri sɛ 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.”

Deɛ ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, hwan na ɛsɛ sɛ mesom no? Sɛdeɛ mesom wʼagya no, saa ara na mɛsom wo.”

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

Ɛnna Absalom danee ne ho bisaa Ahitofel sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn 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 sɛ, “Kɔ na wo ne wʼagya mpenafoɔ no nna, ɛfiri sɛ, wagya wɔn hɔ sɛ wɔnhwɛ ahemfie hɔ. Ɛno bɛma Israel nyinaa ahunu sɛ, woabu no animtia 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, wɔsii ntomadan wɔ ahemfie no atifi baabi a obiara bɛhunu, na Absalom kɔɔ ntomadan no mu, na ɔne nʼagya mpenafoɔ no daeɛ.

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 afotuo sɛdeɛ Dawid yɛeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Na asɛm biara a ɛfiri Ahitofel anom baeɛ no mu nyansa no, yɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɛfiri Onyankopɔn anom.
