2 Samueli 19

1 Yowabu anawuzidwa kuti, “Mfumu ikulira maliro a Abisalomu.”

Yowaabu n’ategeezebwa nti, “Kabaka akaaba era akungubagira Abusaalomu.”

2 Ndipo kwa asilikali onse chipambano cha tsiku limenelo chinasandulika maliro, chifukwa tsiku limenelo anthu anamva kuti mfumu ili pa chisoni chachikulu chifukwa cha mwana wake.

Ku lunaku olwo obuwanguzi ne bufuuka okukungubaga eri abantu bonna, kubanga baawulira nti, “Kabaka anakuwadde olwa mutabani we.”

3 Ankhondo analowa mu mzinda mwakachetechete tsiku limenelo ngati momwe amalowera anthu mwamanyazi chifukwa athawa ku nkhondo.

Abantu ne bebbirira ne bayingira mu kibuga, ng’abantu abakwatiddwa ensonyi bwe bafaanana nga badduse mu lutalo.

4 Mfumu inaphimba nkhope yake ndipo inalira mofuwula, “Iwe mwana wanga Abisalomu! Iwe Abisalomu, mwana wanga, mwana wanga!”

Kabaka n’abikka amaaso ge n’akaaba n’eddoboozi ddene nti, “Mutabani wange Abusaalomu! Woowe Abusaalomu mutabani wange!”

5 Kenaka Yowabu analowa mʼnyumba ya mfumu nafika kwa mfumuyo ndipo anati, “Lero mwachititsa manyazi asilikali anu onse, amene apulumutsa moyo wanu ndiponso moyo wa ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi, kudzanso moyo wa akazi anu ndi wa azikazi anu.

Awo Yowaabu n’alaga mu nnyumba kabaka gye yali n’amugamba nti, “Leero oswazizza abaweereza bo, abawonyezza obulamu bwo, n’obulamu bwa batabani bo ne bawala bo, n’obulamu bwa bakyala bo n’abazaana bo.

6 Inu mumakonda amene amadana nanu ndipo mumadana ndi amene amakukondani. Inuyo mwaonetsa lero poyera kuti simusamala za atsogoleri anu a nkhondo ndi asilikali awo. Ine ndikuona kuti inu mukanakondwera ngati Abisalomu akanakhala ndi moyo lero, tonsefe titafa.

Oyagala abakukyawa ate n’okyawa abakwagala. Leero okikakasizza ng’abaduumizi n’abaweereza si kintu gy’oli. Era kindabikira nga singa Abusaalomu abadde mulamu, ffe ffenna nga tufudde leero, wandisanyuse.

7 Tsopano pitani mukawalimbikitse asilikali anu. Ine ndikulumbira mwa Yehova kuti ngati inu simupita palibe munthu amene adzatsale ali ndi inu polowa dzuwa. Ichi chidzakhala choyipa kwambiri kuposa zovuta zonse zimene zinakugwerani kuyambira muli mnyamata mpaka lero.”

Kale nno golokoka ogende ogumye emyoyo gy’abaweereza bo, kubanga nkulayirira eri Mukama, nga bwe wataabeewo musajja n’omu anaasigala naawe ekiro kya leero. Ekyo kye kirisingako obubi okusinga obubi bwonna bwe wali olabye okuva mu buto bwo.”

8 Kotero mfumu inanyamuka ndipo inakhala pa mpando wake pa chipata. Pamene asilikali anawuzidwa kuti, “Mfumu yakhala pa chipata,” onse anabwera kwa iye. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Aisraeli atathawira ku nyumba zawo.

Awo kabaka n’agolokoka, n’addira entebe ye n’agiteeka mu mulyango ogwa wankaaki, bonna ne bajja gy’ali. Mu kiseera ekyo Abayisirayiri baali baddukidde buli muntu ewuwe.

9 Pakati pa mafuko onse a Israeli, anthu amakangana ndipo amati, “Mfumu inatipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani anthu. Iye ndi amene anatilanditsa mʼdzanja la Afilisti. Koma tsopano wathawa mʼdziko muno chifukwa cha Abisalomu.

Abantu bonna mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri baali bakaayana nga boogera nti, “Kabaka yatuwonya mu mukono gw’abalabe baffe, n’atuwonya ne mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti, kaakano adduse Abusaalomu n’ava mu nsi.

10 Ndipo Abisalomu amene ife tinamudzoza kuti atilamulire wafa pa nkhondo. Tsono nʼchifukwa chiyani simukunena kanthu za kubweretsanso mfumu?”

Naye Abusaalomu gwe twalonda okutufuga afiiridde mu lutalo. Kaakano kiki ekitulobera okukomyawo kabaka?”

11 Mfumu Davide inatumiza uthenga uwu kwa ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, “Funsani akuluakulu a Yuda, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mukukhala otsiriza kuyitana mfumu ku nyumba yake yaufumu, pakuti zimene zikunenedwa mu Israeli yense zamveka kwa mfumu ndi onse amene akukhala nayo.

Awo kabaka Dawudi n’atumira Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona nti, “Mubuuze abakadde ba Yuda nti, ‘Lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka mu lubiri lwe, ebigambo nga byatuuse dda ku kabaka okuva mu Isirayiri yenna?

12 Inu ndinu abale anga enieni, mafupa anga ndi mnofu wanga. Nʼchifukwa chiyani inuyo mukukhala otsiriza kubweretsa mfumu?’

Mmwe muli baganda bange, mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange, naye lwaki mmwe musembayo okukomyawo kabaka?’

13 Ndipo munene kwa Amasa, ‘Kodi iwe si mʼbale wanga weniweni? Mulungu andilange, andilange kwambiri ngati kuyambira tsopano sukhala mtsogoleri wa ankhondo anga kulowa mʼmalo mwa Yowabu.’”

Ate mugambe ne Amasa nti, ‘Toli mubiri gwange era musaayi gwange? Katonda ankole bw’atyo n’okukirawo, bw’otobeere muduumizi wa ggye lyange mu kifo kya Yowaabu okuva ne kaakano.’”

14 Davide anakopa mitima ya anthu onse a Yuda ndipo anthuwo anakhala ngati munthu mmodzi. Iwo anatumiza mawu kwa mfumu, “Bwererani inu ndi anthu anu onse.”

N’awamba emitima gy’abantu bonna aba Yuda ne baba omuntu omu, ne baweereza obubaka eri kabaka nti, “Mukomeewo, ggwe n’abaweereza bo bonna.”

15 Kotero mfumu inabwerera ndipo inakafika mpaka ku Yorodani. Tsono anthu a ku Yuda anabwera ku Giligala kuti akakumane ndi mfumu ndi kumuwolotsa Yorodani.

Awo kabaka n’addayo n’atuuka ku Yoludaani. Abantu ba Yuda ne bajja e Girugaali okusisinkana kabaka, n’okumusomosa Yoludaani.

16 Simei mwana wa Gera, wa fuko la Benjamini wa ku Bahurimu, anabwera mofulumira pamodzi ndi Ayuda kudzakumana ndi mfumu Davide.

Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera Omubenyamini ow’e Bakulimu n’aserengeta mangu n’abasajja ba Yuda okusisinkana kabaka Dawudi.

17 Iyeyo anali ndi anthu 1,000 a fuko la Benjamini pamodzi ndi Ziba, wantchito wa banja la Sauli ndi ana ake aamuna khumi ndi asanu ndi antchito ake makumi awiri. Iwo anathamangira ku Yorodani kumene kunali mfumu.

Yagenda n’Ababenyamini lukumi, ne Ziba omuddu w’ennyumba ya Sawulo ne batabani be kkumi na bataano n’abaweereza be amakumi abiri. Ne banguwa okulaga ku Yoludaani kabaka gye yali.

18 Iwo anawoloka mtsinje kukatenga banja lonse la mfumu ndi kuchita zonse zimene mfumuyo imafuna. Pamene Simei mwana wa Gera anawoloka Yorodani, anagwa pansi chafufumimba pamaso pa mfumu,

Ne basomosa ennyumba ya Dawudi, era ne bakola ng’okusiima kwe bwe kwali. Awo Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera n’asomoka Yoludaani, n’agwa bugazi mu maaso ga kabaka,

19 ndipo anati, “Mbuye wanga musaganizire za kulakwa kwanga. Musakumbukire zolakwa zimene mtumiki wanu anakuchitirani tsiku limene mbuye wanga mfumu mumachoka mu Yerusalemu. Mfumu musazikumbukirenso zimenezi.

n’amwegayirira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange ansonyiwe, aleme okujjukira ebisobyo bye nakola ku lunaku luli, mukama wange kabaka lwe yava mu Yerusaalemi. Kabaka aleme okukijjukira.

20 Pakuti ine mtumiki wanu ndazindikira kuti ndachimwa. Koma lero ndabwera ngati woyamba wa nyumba ya Yosefe yonse kudzakumana nanu mbuye wanga mfumu.”

Kubanga nze omuweereza wo mmanyi nga nayonoona, naye leero mu nnyumba eya Yusufu nze nsoose okujja okusisinkana mukama wange kabaka.”

21 Ndipo Abisai mwana wa Zeruya anati, “Kodi Simei saphedwa chifukwa cha ichi? Iye anatukwana wodzozedwa wa Yehova.”

Awo Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’ayogera nti, “Lwaki Simeeyi tattibwa olw’okukolimira omulonde wa Mukama?”

22 Davide anayankha kuti, “Kodi inu ana a Zeruya, ndikuchitireni chiyani? Lero lino iwe wakhala mdani wanga! Kodi wina aphedwe lero mu Israeli? Kodi ine sindikudziwa kuti lero ndine mfumu mu Israeli?”

Naye Dawudi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiki ekitugatta nze nammwe batabani ba Zeruyiya, mulyoke mufuuke abalabe bange olwa leero? Lwaki omuntu yenna attibwa mu Isirayiri olwa leero, ate nga mmanyi nga nze kabaka wa Isirayiri leero?”

23 Ndipo mfumu inati kwa Simei, “Iwe Simei suphedwa.” Ndipo mfumuyo inalonjeza ndi lumbiro.

Awo kabaka n’agamba Simeeyi nti, “Tojja kufa.” Era kabaka n’amulayirira.

24 Mefiboseti, mdzukulu wa Sauli, nayenso anabwera kudzakumana ndi mfumu. Kuyambira tsiku limene mfumu inachoka mpaka tsiku limene inabwerera mu mtendere, iye sanasambe mapazi kaya kumeta ndevu kapena kuchapa zovala zake.

Mefibosesi muzzukulu wa Sawulo naye n’aserengeta okusisinkana kabaka; yali tanaabanga bigere bye newaakubadde okumwa ekirevu kye newaakubadde okwoza engoye ze, okuva ku lunaku kabaka lwe yagenderako okutuusa ku lunaku lwe yakomawo emirembe.

25 Pamene anafika kuchokera ku Yerusalemu kudzakumana ndi mfumu, mfumu inamufunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunapite nane Mefiboseti?”

Awo bwe yatuuka okuva e Yerusaalemi n’asisinkana kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyakulobera okugenda nange Mefibosesi?”

26 Iye anayankha kuti, “Mbuye wanga mfumu, pakuti ine wantchito wanu ndine wolumala. Ndinati, ‘Andikonzere chishalo cha bulu wanga ndipo ndidzakwera kuti ndipite ndi mfumu.’ Koma Ziba wantchito wanga anandilakwitsa.

N’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, kabaka, okimanyi nga omuweereza wo mulema. Nagamba omuddu wange nti, ‘Ntekerateekera endogoyi, njebagale, ŋŋende ne kabaka,’ naye n’ambuzaabuza, n’abulawo.

27 Ndipo wayankhula zosinjirira za ine mtumiki wanu kwa inu mbuye wanga mfumu. Mbuye wanga mfumu ali ngati mngelo wa Mulungu ndipo chitani chimene chikukomerani.

Yajja eri mukama wange kabaka n’ayogera ku muddu wo ebya kalebule. Naye mukama wange kabaka ali nga malayika wa Katonda, noolwekyo kola nga bw’osiima.

28 Zidzukulu zonse za agogo anga sizinayenera chilichonse koma imfa kuchokera kwa inu mbuye wanga mfumu, koma inu munapereka malo kwa mtumiki wanu pakati pa amene amadya pa tebulo lanu. Tsono ine ndili ndi chiyaninso kuti ndipitirize kudandaula kwa mfumu?”

Ab’ennyumba ya jjajjange bonna baali basaanira kufa bufi mu maaso ga mukama wange kabaka, naye nange n’omala gansaasira n’onzikiriza okuba ku abo abatuula ku mmeeza yo. Kale kiki kye sifunye okuva eri kabaka?”

29 Mfumu inayankha kuti, “Uneneranji zambiri? Ine ndikulamula kuti iwe ndi Ziba mugawane minda.”

Awo kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki weeyongera okweyogerako? Ndagidde kaakano, ggwe ne Ziba mugabane ettaka eryo.”

30 Mefiboseti anati kwa mfumu, “Muloleni atenge zonse, pakuti tsopano mbuye wanga mwafika kwanu mu mtendere.”

Mefibosesi n’agamba kabaka nti, “Atwale lyonna, kubanga mukama wange kabaka akomyewo mirembe mu bwakabaka bwe.”

31 Barizilai Mgiliyadi anabweranso kuchokera ku Rogelimu kudzawoloka Yorodani ndi mfumu ndi kumuperekeza kuchokera kumeneko.

Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi naye n’aserengeta okuva e Logerimu n’agenda okusomosa kabaka, Yoludaani.

32 Tsono Barizilai anali wokalamba kwambiri, wa zaka makumi asanu ndi atatu. Iye ndi amene anapereka zinthu kwa mfumu pamene anali ku Mahanaimu pakuti anali wolemera kwambiri.

Baluzirayi yali musajja mukadde nnyo, ng’awezezza emyaka kinaana, era yali agabiridde kabaka ebyokulya we yabeerera e Makanayimu kubanga yali musajja mugagga nnyo.

33 Mfumu inati kwa Barizilai, “Woloka nane ndipo ukakhale ndi ine mu Yerusalemu ndipo ineyo ndidzakusamalira.”

Awo kabaka n’agamba Baluzirayi nti, “Somoka nange, tugende ffenna e Yerusaalemi, n’akulabiriranga.”

34 Barizilai anayankha mfumu kuti, “Kodi zakhala zaka zingati zoti ndikhale ndi moyo, kuti ndipite ku Yerusalemu ndi mfumu?

Naye Baluzirayi n’addamu kabaka nti, “Nnina ennaku meka okuba omulamu, ndyoke ŋŋende ne kabaka e Yerusaalemi?

35 Ine tsopano ndili ndi zaka 80. Kodi ndingathe kusiyanitsa pakati pa chabwino ndi choyipa? Kodi mtumiki wanu angathe kuzindikira kukoma kwa zimene akudya ndi kumwa? Kodi ndingathe kumva kuyimba kwa amuna ndi akazi? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wantchito wanu akakhale ngati katundu kwa mbuye wanga mfumu?

Mpezezza emyaka kinaana, olowooza nkyayinza okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi? Olowooza nga omuddu wo akyayinza okutegeera ky’alya ne ky’anywa? Nkyayinza okuwuliriza amaloboozi g’abasajja abayimba n’abakyala abayimbi? Lwaki nzitoowerera mukama wange kabaka?

36 Koma ine mtumiki wanu ndingoyenda pangʼono kuti ndiwoloke Yorodani pamodzi ndi mfumu. Amfumu mungandipatsirenji mphotho yotere?

Omuweereza wo anasomosa busomosa kabaka, Yoludaani, naye nga siraba kiki enkimpeesa empeera eyenkana awo.

37 Muloleni, mtumiki wanu abwerere, kuti ndikafere kwathu pafupi ndi manda a abambo ndi amayi anga. Koma nayu mtumiki wanu Kimuhamu. Muloleni iye awoloke nanu mbuye wanga mfumu. Mumuchitire chilichonse chimene chikukomereni!”

Nkwegayiridde, kkiriza omuddu wo addeyo, nfiire mu kibuga kyange okumpi n’ebiggya bya kitange ne mmange. Naye omuddu wo Kimamu wuuyo. Leka asomoke ne mukama wange kabaka, onoomukolera byonna nga bw’onoosiima.”

38 Mfumu inati, “Kimuhamu adzawoloka ndi ine, ndipo ndidzamuchitira iye chilichonse chimene chidzakondweretsa iwe. Ndipo chilichonse chimene udzandipempha ine ndidzakuchitira.”

Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Kale Kimamu anaasomoka nange, era ndimukolera nga bw’olisiima; ne kyonna ky’onooyagala n’akikukolera.”

39 Kotero anthu onse anawoloka Yorodani ndipo kenaka mfumu inawoloka. Mfumu inapsompsona Barizilai ndi kumupatsa madalitso ndipo Barizilaiyo anabwerera kwawo.

Awo abantu bonna ne basomoka Yoludaani, kabaka n’asomoka nabo. Kabaka n’anywegera Baluzirayi n’amusabira omukisa, n’addayo ewuwe.

40 Pamene mfumu inawolokera ku Giligala, Kimuhamu anawoloka naye. Ankhondo onse a Yuda ndi theka la ankhondo a Israeli onse anaperekeza mfumu.

Kabaka n’agenda e Girugaali ne Kimamu n’agenda naye; abantu bonna aba Yuda, n’ekimu kyakubiri ku bantu ba Isirayiri ne bawerekera kabaka.

41 Kenaka Aisraeli onse amabwera kwa mfumu nʼkumati kwa iye, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani abale athu, anthu a ku Ayuda, anakubani mfumu, nawoloka nanu Yorodani inu ndi banja lanu, pamodzi ndi anthu ake onse?”

Oluvannyuma lwe bbanga ttono, abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bagenda eri kabaka, ne bagamba kabaka nti, “Lwaki baganda baffe, abasajja aba Yuda, babba kabaka, ne bamutwala ye n’ennyumba ye, ne bamusomosa Yoludaani n’abasajja be?”

42 Ayuda onse anayankha Aisraeli kuti, “Ife timachita zimenezi chifukwa mfumu ndi mʼbale wathu. Nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mwapsa mtima ndi zimenezi? Kodi ife tinadya chakudya chilichonse cha mfumu? Kodi chilipo chimene ife tatenga kukhala chathu?”

Abasajja bonna aba Yuda ne baddamu abasajja ba Isirayiri nti, “Ekyo twakikola kubanga tuli ba musaayi gumu naye. Kiki ekibatabudde mu nsonga eyo? Tulina bye tulidde ku bya kabaka? Oba mulowooza nga tulina ebirabo bye tugabanye?”

43 Aisraeli anayankha Ayuda kuti, “Ife ndi magawo khumi mwa mfumu imeneyi, ndipo kuwonjezera apo, ife tili ndi zinthu zambiri mwa Davide kuposa inu. Tsono nʼchifukwa chiyani mukutichita chipongwe? Kodi ife si amene tinayamba kunena za kubweretsa mfumu yathu?” Koma anthu a Yuda anayankha mwaukali kwambiri kupambana anthu a ku Israeli.

Awo abasajja ba Isirayiri ne baddamu abasajja ba Yuda nti, “Okusooka byonna, obwakabaka tubulinamu emigabo kkumi. N’ekyokubiri, Dawudi wa ku luganda lwaffe n’okusinga mmwe. Kale lwaki mwatunyooma? Si ffe twasooka okwogera ku ky’okukomyawo kabaka waffe?” Naye ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Yuda ne biba bisongovu nnyo n’okusinga ebigambo eby’abasajja ba Isirayiri.
