Ngakho uJowabi wathuma umuntu eThekhowa wayabuya khona lowesifazane ohlakaniphileyo. Wathi kuye, “Yenza angathi uyalila. Gqoka izigqoko zokulila. Ungagcobi amagcobo okubukeka. Yenza njengowesifazane oseqede insuku ezinengi elilela ofileyo.
3 Te phoeiah manghai taengla cet lamtah amah taengah hekah ol bangla thui pah,” a ti nah tih Joab loh anih ka dongah ol a khueh pah.
Uye enkosini ukhulume amazwi la kuyo.” UJowabi wasemfunza lawomazwi.
4 Tekoa nu loh manghai te a voek vaengah a maelhmai diklai la a buluk thil tih a bawk pueng. Te phoeiah ni, “Manghai nang loh ng'khang,” a ti nah.
Kwathi owesifazane owavela eThekhowa esefikile enkosini wathi mbo phansi ngobuso eyihlonipha, wasesithi, “Ake ungisize, awu nkosi!”
5 Te dongah amah te manghai loh, “Nang te ba dae lae,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai tah nuhmai nu tih ka va khaw duek coeng.
Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kuyini okukuhluphayo?” Yena wathi, “Ngingumfelokazi impela, umkami wafa.
6 Na salnu taengkah capa panit he amamih rhoi te lohma ah hnuei uh rhoi. Amih rhoi laklo ah sim uh pawh. Te dongah pakhat loh pakhat te a ngawn tih duek.
Mina ncekukazi yakho ngangilamadodana amabili. Alwa egangeni njalo akulamuntu owayelapho ukuba awalamule. Enye yatshaya enye yayibulala.
7 Te dongah a huiko boeih loh na salnu he m'pai thil tih, 'A manuca aka ngawn te han tloeng lamtah anih loh a ngawn a manuca kah hinglu ah anih te ka ngawn uh pawn eh. A pang tueng khaw ka phae uh ni,’ a ti uh. Te dongah ka hmai-alh aka sueng te thih koinih ka va ming neh a meet he diklai hman ah khueh rhoe khueh mahpawh he,” a ti nah.
Manje-ke bonke abosendo sebevukele incekukazi yakho, bathi, ‘Sinike lowo owabulala umfowabo ukuze simbulale ngenxa yempilo yomfowabo ambulalayo; lapho-ke sizasusa lendlalifa futhi.’ Bazacitsha ilahle lami elivuthayo eliyilo lodwa engilalo eliseleyo, umkami asale engaselabizo loba inzalo ebusweni bomhlaba.”
8 Te dongah manghai loh huta te, “Na im la mael laeh, nang ham te kamah loh ka uen bitni,” a ti nah.
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Buyela ekhaya, ngizakhupha umlayo ngimele wena.”
9 Tedae Tekoa nu loh manghai taengah, “Ka boei manghai kathaesainah he kamah so neh a pa imkhui ah om saeh lamtah manghai neh a ngolkhoel ta ommongsitoe la om saeh,” a ti nah.
Kodwa owesifazane waseThekhowa wathi kuyo, “Mhlekazi wami, nkosi, umlandu kawube kimi lakwabendlu kababa, kuthi inkosi lesihlalo sayo sobukhosi kungabi lacala.”
10 Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Nang taengah aka thui te kamah taengla hang khuen, nang koep m'ben ham te khoep boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa loba ngubani esitsho loba yini kuwe, mlethe kimi, njalo kasoze akuhluphe futhi.”
11 Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA na Pathen loh manghai te n'thoelh pawn saeh. Thii phu aka suk te a rhaep, rhaep la thup nawn saeh. Te daengah ni ka capa te a diil sak uh pawt eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah manghai loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah rhangneh na capa kah a sam pakhat pataeng diklai la rhul mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Wasesithi, “Inkosi kayincenge uThixo uNkulunkulu wayo ukuba avimbele umphindiseli wegazi ekwengezeleleni incithakalo, ukuze indodana yami ingabhujiswa.” Inkosi yathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, akukho lalunye unwele lwekhanda lendodana yakho oluzawela phansi.”
12 Te phoeiah huta loh, “Na salnu long he ka boeipa manghai taengah ol kan thui dae eh,” a ti nah hatah, “Thui saw,” a ti nah.
Lapho-ke owesifazane wasesithi, “Vumela incekukazi yakho ikhulume ilizwi enkosini yami.” Yathi, “Khuluma.”
13 Te dongah huta loh, “Balae tih tahae kah bangla, Pathen kah pilnam he na moeh thil. A heh uh te manghai loh na khue pawt vaengah, a rhaem banghui la hekah ol he manghai loh a thui.
Owesifazane wasesithi, “Pho kungani ucebe into enje ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu na? Nxa inkosi isitsho lokhu kayizidlisi ngecala na, ngoba inkosi kayiyibuyisanga indodana yayo eyaxotshwayo.
14 Diklai dongah tui a luh tih a coi thai voel pawt bangla n'duek rhoe n'duek uh pawn ni. Pathen loh a hinglu bawt pah pawt cakhaw a kopoek te a moeh pah ta. Te dongah a heh tangtae khaw amah taeng lamloh loh a bung moenih.
Njengamanzi achithekele phansi, angeke abuthwe, kanjalo kumele sife. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kakususi ukuphila, esikhundleni salokho yena uceba izindlela zokuthi umuntu oxotshiweyo angehlukaniswa laye kokuphela.
15 Te dongah he ol he ka boei manghai taengah thui ham ni ka pawk coeng. Pilnam loh kai ng'hih cakhaw a ti banglam ni na salnu loh manghai taengah ka thui eh. A salnu kah olka te manghai loh a rhoirhi mai khaming.
Ngilande ukuzakutsho lokhu kumhlekazi wami inkosi, ngoba abantu sebengethusile. Incekukazi yakho icabange yathi, ‘Ngizakhuluma lenkosi, engxenye izakwenza lokho okucelwa yincekukazi yayo.
16 Pathen kah rho dong lamloh kamah neh ka capa rhenten aka mitmoeng sak ham khaw, hlang kut lamloh a sal nu a huul ham khaw manghai loh ya pai saeh.
Engxenye inkosi izavuma ukuhlenga incekukazi yayo esandleni somuntu ozama ukungisusa mina lendodana yami elifeni esaliphiwa nguNkulunkulu.’
17 Na salnu long tah ka boei manghai kah ol he Pathen puencawn bangla duemnah la om saeh a ti dae ta. Ka boei manghai loh a thae a then khaw a yaak dongah BOEIPA na Pathen tah namah taengah om nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
Khathesi incekukazi yakho ithi, ‘Sengathi izwi lomhlekazi wami, uThixo lingangilethela ukuphumula, ngoba umhlekazi wami, inkosi unjengengilosi kaNkulunkulu ekuphawuleni okuhle lokubi. Sengathi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho angaba lawe.’”
18 Te phoeiah manghai loh huta te a doo tih, “Namah kan dawt bangla kai taengah ol phah boel mai,” a ti nah. Te vaengah huta long khaw, “Ka boei manghai nang thui laeh,” a ti nah.
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Ungangifihleli impendulo kulokhu engizakubuza khona.” Owesifazane wathi “Mhlekazi wami, inkosi kayikhulume.”
19 Te vaengah manghai loh, “Nang taengkah olka boeih dongah he Joab kah kutngo om nama?,” a ti nah. Te dongah huta loh a doo tih, “Ka boei manghai kah na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla ka boei manghai loh a thui te pakhat khaw banvoei bantang la a hlihloeh moenih. Na sal Joab loh kai ng'uen tih he rhoek kah olka boeih he na salnu kah a ka dongah a khueh.
Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Isandla sikaJowabi kasilawe yini kukho konke lokhu na?” Owesifazane waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uphila, mhlekazi wami, inkosi, kakho ongaphambukela kwesokudla kumbe kwesenxele kwaloba yini umhlekazi wami, inkosi ekutshoyo. Ye, yinceku yakho uJowabi engilaye ukuba ngenze lokhu onguye njalo ofunze amazwi wonke la emlonyeni wencekukazi yakho.
20 Olka te a hmuethma hoilae ham ni hekah olka he na sal Joab loh a saii. Tedae ka boeipa tah Pathen puencawn kah cueihnah bangla a cueih dongah, diklai hman kah khaw boeih a ming,” a ti nah.
Inceku yakho uJowabi yenze lokhu ukuba iguqule umumo okhona khathesi. Inkosi yami ilenhlakanipho efana leyengilosi kaNkulunkulu yazi konke okwenzakalayo elizweni.”
21 Te daengah manghai loh Joab te, “Ol he ka tloek bitni ne, cet lamtah Absalom camoe te lo laeh,” a ti nah.
Inkosi yasisithi kuJowabi, “Kulungile, ngizakwenza lokho. Hamba uyebuya lalo ijaha u-Abhisalomu.”
22 Te dongah Joab loh a maelhmai te diklai la a buluk tih a bawk phoeiah manghai te a uem. Te phoeiah Joab loh, “Tihnin ah tah ka boei manghai na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang te na sal loh ka ming. Na sal kah a sal patoeng ol he manghai loh a rhoi coeng,” a ti.
UJowabi wathi mbo phansi ngobuso eyihlonipha, waseyibonga inkosi. UJowabi wasesithi, “Lamhla inceku yakho isikwazi ukuthi isithole umusa emehlweni akho, mhlekazi wami, nkosi, ngoba inkosi isivumile isicelo senceku yayo.”
23 Joab te thoo tih Geshuri la cet tih Absalom te Jerusalem la a mael puei.
Emva kwalokho uJowabi waya eGeshuri wayabuya lo-Abhisalomu eJerusalema.
24 Tedae manghai loh, “Amah im la mael saeh lamtah ka maelhmai he hmu boel saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Absalom te amah im la mael tih manghai kah maelhmai khaw hmu pawh.
Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Kaye endlini yakhe, akumelanga abone ubuso bami.” Ngakho u-Abhisalomu waya endlini yakhe akaze abubona ubuso benkosi.
25 Absalom bangla sakthen hlang he Israel boeih khuiah a om moenih. A khopha lamloh a luki duela thangthen hamla om. A pum dongah a lolhmaih pakhat khaw om pawh.
Kulolonke elako-Israyeli kakho umuntu owayebatshazwa kakhulu ngobuhle bakhe njengo-Abhisalomu. Kusukela ekhanda lakhe kusiya ephangweni lonyawo lwakhe kwakungekho sici kuye.
26 A kum, kum ah apat a pha atah a lu te vok. Te khaw amah mat a nan vaengah ni a vok pueng. A lu dongkah sam te a vok tih a thuek vaengah manghai coilung ah shekel yahnih a lo pah.
Kwakusithi lapho egele inwele zekhanda lakhe wayejwayele ukuzigela inwele zakhe kanye ngomnyaka nxa zasezimsinda kakhulu, wayezilinganisa esikalini, isisindo sazo sasingamakhulu amabili amashekeli ngesilinganiso sesikhosini.
27 Absalom loh capa pathum neh canu pakhat a sak. A canu ming tah Tamar tih, a mueimae khaw sakthen nu la om.
U-Abhisalomu wazala amadodana amathathu lendodakazi eyodwa. Ibizo lendodakazi lalinguThamari, owayengumfazi omuhle.
28 Absalom tah Jerusalem ah khohnin la kum nit kho a sak dae manghai maelhmai hmuh pawh.
U-Abhisalomu wahlala iminyaka emibili eJerusalema engabuboni ubuso benkosi.
29 Te dongah Absalom loh Joab te a tah tih manghai taengla a tueih. Tedae a taengla a pawk pah ham te a ngaih pah moenih. Te dongah a pabae la koep a tueih dae lo sak ham ngaih pah pawh.
Yikho u-Abhisalomu wabiza uJowabi wamthuma enkosini, kodwa uJowabi wala ukuya kuye. Wathumela okwesibili, kodwa wala ukuza.
30 Te vaengah a sal rhoek taengah, “So uh lah, Joab kah lo he kamah kut ah om, te lamkah cangtun te paan uh lamtah hmai neh hlup la hlup pa uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Absalom kah sal rhoek loh lo te hmai neh a hlup uh.
Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Khangelani, insimu kaJowabi iphansi kweyami, njalo kulebhali kiyo. Hambani liyeyithungela ngomlilo.” Ngakho izinceku zika-Abhisalomu zayithungela insimu ngomlilo.
31 Te daengah Joab te too tih Absalom te a im la a paan. Te vaengah, “Balae tih na sal rhoek loh kai lo ke hmai neh a hlup uh,” a ti nah.
Lapho-ke uJowabi waya endlini ka-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “Kungani izinceku zakho zithungele insimu yami ngomlilo?”
32 Absalom loh Joab te, “'Hela halo dae,’ ka ti tih la nang te kan tah. Te daengah man manghai te voek hamla nang te kan tueih ve. Geshuri lamkah ka pawk parhi te kai hamla balae a then, ka om palueng vetih manghai kah maelhmai ka hmuh laeh mako, tedae kai pum dongah thaesainah a om atah kai he ng'ngawn saeh,” a ti nah.
U-Abhisalomu wathi kuJowabi, “Khangela, ngithumele ilizwi kuwe ngathi, ‘Woza lapha ukuze ngikuthume enkosini ukuyabuza ukuthi, “Pho ngisukeleni eGeshuri? Kade kuzakuba ngcono kimi aluba ngilokhu ngikhonale!”’ Khathesi nje, mina ngifuna ukubona ubuso benkosi, nxa ngilecala laloba yini kangibulale.”
33 Joab te manghai taengla cet tih a thui pah. Te daengah Absalom te a khue tih manghai taengla koep ha pawk. Te vaengah manghai kah mikhmuh ah a maelhmai diklai la a buluk tih a bawk. Manghai loh Absalom te a mok.
Ngakho uJowabi waya enkosini wayitshela lokhu. Inkosi yambiza u-Abhisalomu, wafika wangena wasesithi mbo phansi ngobuso phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yamanga u-Abhisalomu.
