Kwathi entwasa, ngesikhathi amakhosi ayesiyakulwa ngaso impi, uDavida wathuma uJowabi elabantu benkosi lebutho lonke lako-Israyeli. Baqothula ama-Amoni basebevimbezela iRabha. Kodwa uDavida wasala eJerusalema.
2 Nikhat hi nilhah lam ni kihei don hin David jong asunchol na jalkhun'a konin athou doh in leng Inpi inchunga chun avah len ahileh, inchunga kon chun numei melhoi khat akisil pet tah amun ahi.
Ngelinye ilanga kusihlwa uDavida wavuka embhedeni wakhe wahambahamba phezu kophahla lwesigodlo. Esephahleni wabona owesifazane egeza. Owesifazane lowo wayemuhle kakhulu,
3 Hijeh chun David’in mi asol in numeinu chu koi ham, tin agadoh le sah tai. Hichea hin mi khat chun, “Hiche nu hi Eliam chanu, Hittite mipa Uriah jinu Bathsheba chu ahi” tin aseipih tai.
uDavida wasethuma umuntu ukuyabuza ngaye. Umuntu lowo wathi, “Kanti lo kasuBhathishebha, indodakazi ka-Eliyami umka-Uriya umHithi na?”
4 Hichun David’in mi sottol le ho asol in amanu chu aga puisah in, Bathsheba jong chu leng inpi sung ahung lut’in, chuin David chun amanu chu aluppi tan ahi. Hichepet a hi Bathsheba chu athi neijou akisuh theng jou chabou ahi; akichaiyin amanu jong a inlama achetai.
UDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyamthatha. Weza kuye, wembatha laye. (Owesifazane lo wayezihlambulule ekungcoleni kwakhe.) Emva kwalokho wabuyela ekhaya.
5 Phat chomkhat jouvin Bathsheban nao avop ahin kihetdoh phat’in aman David koma hitin thu athot in, “Keiman nao kavoptai,” ati.
Owesifazane lowo wathatha isisu, wasethumela ilizwi kuDavida, esithi, “Sengilesisu.”
6 Hichun David in Joab chu thu athot in: “Uriah kitipa Hittite mipa chu kahenga hinsol temin,” ati. Hijeh chun Joab in jong Uriah chu David lengpa hengah ahinsol tan ahi.
Ngakho uDavida wathumela ilizwi leli kuJowabi elithi: “Ngilethela u-Uriya umHithi.” UJowabi wamthumela kuDavida.
7 Chuin Uriah chu David kom ahung lhun phat’in, David’in jong Joab umchan chule mipi itobang banga um uva chule agal sat u machal jing hinam tin adongin ahi.
U-Uriya esefikile kuye, uDavida wambuza ukuthi uJowabi wayenjani, amabutho ayenjani kanye lokuthi impi yayiqhubeka njani.
8 Chujouvin David in Uriah koma aseitai, ‘Na-in lama nomin chesuh tan, Hijeh chun Uriah jong leng inpi adalhan achesuh tai, chuin leng ipi adalhah chun anunga chun lengpa insunga konin thilpeh ding khat ahin choi peh pai paiyuvin ahi.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Uriya, “Yehlela endlini yakho ugeze inyawo zakho.” Ngakho u-Uriya wasuka esigodlweni, walandelwa yisipho esavela enkosini esasala sithunyelwa kuye.
9 Ahivangin Uriah chu inlang achipon, lengpa kotpi phung bula kotkhah ngah ho toh chun hiche jan chun alum den tan ahi.
Kodwa u-Uriya walala entubeni yesigodlo lezinceku zonke zenkosi yakhe akaze aya endlini yakhe.
10 Hichun David in Uriah a inlam achilou ahin hetdoh phat chun, akou in epi jeh ham ti adong tan ahi, “Kholgama kona hung lhung nahilou ham, ibola na in lama chelouva naum ham?” tin aseitai.
Kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ukuthi, “U-Uriya kayanga ekhaya,” wambuza wathi, “Angithi usanda kufika nje uvela khatshana? Kungani ungayanga ekhaya?”
11 Hichun Uriah’in David koma aseijin, “Pathen thingkong le Israel chate chule Judah mite lhambuh jenga cheng ahiuvin, kapu sepaite kapupa Joab le asepaite jong tollhang lah a ngahmun mai maiya cheng ahiuve; ipi dinga keima in'a kachea kadu du kaneh a atui tui kadona kajinu angsunga nomtah a kalup ding ham? Nangma damlai sung le nahinkho phatlai sungsen keiman hitobang kinopsah na thil hi bol ponge,’ tin aseiye.
U-Uriya wathi kuDavida, “Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lo-Israyeli loJuda kuhlezi emathenteni, inkosi yami uJowabi kanye labantu benkosi yami bamise egangeni. Pho ngingaya kanjani endlini ukuyakudla, lokunatha ngilale lomkami futhi na? Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uphila, mina angiyikwenza into enjalo!”
12 Chuphat’in David chun Uriah koma aseijin, “aphai tuni jong hikoma umtan, jing tengle navaikon doh sah nange,” atitai. Hijeh chun Uriah jong chuchi nikho le ajing nikho chun Jerusalema anichongtai ahi.
UDavida wasesithi kuye, “Hlala lapha elinye ilanga futhi, kusasa ngizakubuyisela emuva.” Ngakho u-Uriya wahlala eJerusalema lolosuku kanye lolwalandelayo.
13 Chuin David’in Uriah chu, ama koma an ne dingle lengpitwi don dingin akou vin; chuin ama chu lengpitwi adon kham sah tai; chuchi jou jeng injong a inlam ma ajinu kom chidin asol doh jou dehpon, nilhah lamin Uriah chu kelkot ngah sepaite chutoh lumkhom din ajalkhun akijot kit tan ahi.
Esecelwe nguDavida, wadla wanatha laye, uDavida wasemdakisa. Kodwa kusihlwa u-Uriya waphuma wayalala ecansini lakhe phakathi kwezinceku zenkosi yakhe; akayanga ekhaya.
14 Chuin Ajing jingkah chun David’in Joab lekha khat athot in hichu Uriah khut’a agah thot’e.
Ekuseni uDavida walobela uJowabi incwadi wayiphathisa u-Uriya.
15 Lekha sunga hin David chun hitin asune, “Uriah hi gal kisatna ahah lai laiya amasan pansah uvin lang chutengle gal miten atha teitei nadin ama achangseh'in dalhauvin,” tin asune.
Kuyo wayelobe ukuthi, “U-Uriya mbeke kuviyo eliphambili lapho impi evutha khona kakhulu. Lapho-ke khumukani kuye ukuze acakazelwe phansi afe.”
16 Hijeh chun Joab injong khopi khat aum phat’in mihat tah tah panmun ahi, tia ahetsa bangkom laitah a chun Uriah chu apansah tan ahi.
Ngakho kwathi uJowabi idolobho eselivimbezele, wabeka u-Uriya lapho ayesazi khona ukuthi yikho okwakulabavikeli abalamandla kakhulu.
17 Chuin khopi sunga sepaite ahung kondoh uvin Joab chutoh akisat tauvin ahi; chule hichemun a chun Hittite mi Uriah jaonan mipi lah a David sepaite phabep jong athat tauvin ahi.
Kwathi abantu bakulelodolobho sebephumile ukuba balwe loJowabi, abanye babantu ebuthweni likaDavida bafa; u-Uriya umHithi laye futhi wafa.
18 Hichun Joab’in jong mi asol in gal kisat umchan jouse chu David koma aga lhutsah tai.
UJowabi wathumela uDavida umbiko opheleleyo ngempi.
19 Hichun asottolle mipa chu ahilchah masan, “Lengpa koma chu gal kisat thusim aboncha nasei soh kei ding ahi, ati.
Walaya isithunywa wathi: “Lapho usuqedile ukwethulela inkosi umbiko wempi,
20 Ahin Ijem tia lengpa alung han jeng tah a nangkoma, ‘Ibola chutobang a chu khopi nanai lut jenguva kisat pi dinga nacheuba ham? Kulpi bang dunga kona nahin kap jeng diu nahet louvu ham?
ulaka lwenkosi lungavutha, ibe isibuza isithi, ‘Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka ledolobho ukuba lilwe? Kalazanga yini ukuthi kade bengatshoka imitshoko besemdulini?
21 Chule Gideon chapa Abimelech chu koi tha ham? Bangvuma kona numei khat’in sumhei song ahinlhah sah leh alhah khum khah a hijeh a chu Thebez kiti laiya chu thiden hilou ham? Ibola hitobang tah a chu bang nanai lut jengu ham?’ tia asei leh; nangman, ‘Nasohpa Hittite mi Uriah jong athi tai,’ tia na seipeh ding ahi,” tin ahil’e.
Ngubani obulele u-Abhimelekhi indodana kaJerubhi-Bheshethi na? Owesifazane obephezu komduli kamjikijelanga ngembokodo, wayafela eThebhezi na? Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka lomduli?’ Ingakubuza lokhu, uthi kuyo, ‘Lenceku yakho u-Uriya umHithi ifile.’”
22 Hichun sottolle pachu Jerusalem ahungin David koma Joab in asol lo na jouse chu abonchan ahilsoh kei tan ahi.
Isithunywa sasuka sahamba, kwathi sesifikile samtshela uDavida konke uJowabi ayesithume ukuba siyekutsho.
23 Hichun sottolle pa chun David hengah hitin aseiye, “Gal miten keiho eihin joujo tauvin, keiho dou nan tollhanga ahung kitol doh jenguve; ahivangin keihon jong kelkot phung lam chan in kaledel lut kit’uvin ahi.
Isithunywa sathi kuDavida, “Abantu basikhulele, baphuma bazasihlasela etshatshalazini, kodwa sibadudulele emuva entubeni yedolobho.
24 Chuin galmi thalpi kap them hon banga konin nasohte lengpa sepai phabep jong ahinkap lih taovin, chule nasohpa Uriah jeng jong athitai,’ ati.
Lapho-ke abemitshoko batshoke izinceku zakho besemdulini, kwathi abanye abantu benkosi bafa. Lenceku yakho, u-Uriya umHithi ifile.”
25 Hichun David jong chun sottolle pa koma chun aseiyin, “Nangman Joab koma hitia hi nasei ding ahi; Hiche thilsoh jeh hin nangma lunglhadai hih in, ajeh chu chemjamin khat khat’a abantan tan ahitai; aban teng natha hatsah jon lang khopi chu delkhumin, tin seipeh in, hiti chun Joab chu atilkhou tan,’ ahi.
UDavida watshela isithunywa wathi, “Yitsho lokhu kuJowabi: ‘Ungakhathazwa yilokhu; inkemba idla omunye njengoba isidla omunye. Qinisa ukuhlasela idolobho, ulichithe.’ Yitsho lokhu ukuba umise isibindi uJowabi.”
26 Chuin Uriah jinun ajipa Uriah chu athitai, ti ajah doh phat in ajipa dingin akap’in apul adoutan ahi.
Kwathi umka-Uriya esezwile ukuthi umkakhe usefile, wamlilela.
27 Amanu pul douna phat akichai’in David’in mi asolin amanu chu leng inpi sungah agapui lutsah tai, chule Bathsheba in David chu chapa khat ahinpeh tai. hinla David thilbol achonna chungah Pakai alung lhai tapoi ahi.
Kwathi isikhathi sokulila sesiphelile, uDavida wamletha endlini yakhe, wasesiba ngumkakhe wamzalela indodana. Kodwa into eyenziwa nguDavida yathukuthelisa uThixo.
