2 Samuel 14
1 Joab wuod Zeruya nongʼeyo ni chuny ruoth gombo Abisalom.
UJowabi indodana kaZeruya wakwazi ukuthi inhliziyo yenkosi yayimkhumbula u-Abhisalomu.
2 Omiyo Joab nooro ngʼat moro Tekoa mi okelne dhako moro mariek koa kuno. Nowachone niya, “Wuondri ni ikuyo. Rwak lep ywak kendo kik iwirri gi mo del. Chal ka dhako mosebet ka ywago ngʼate motho kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
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 Bangʼe idhi ir ruoth kendo iwachne wechegi.” Joab nomiye weche monego owach.
Uye enkosini ukhulume amazwi la kuyo.” UJowabi wasemfunza lawomazwi.
4 Kane dhako moa Tekoa odhi ir ruoth, nokulore nyaka e lowo auma mar miye luor, eka nowachone niya, “Konya, yaye ruoth!”
Kwathi owesifazane owavela eThekhowa esefikile enkosini wathi mbo phansi ngobuso eyihlonipha, wasesithi, “Ake ungisize, awu nkosi!”
5 Ruoth nopenje niya, “Angʼo machandi?” Nowacho niya, “Chutho, an dhako ma chwore otho; chwora nosetho.
Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kuyini okukuhluphayo?” Yena wathi, “Ngingumfelokazi impela, umkami wafa.
6 An jatichni, ne an gi yawuowi ariyo. Negigore ka gin oko e pap, ne onge ngʼato machiegni mane nyalo thegogi. Achiel nogoyo machielo mi onege.
Mina ncekukazi yakho ngangilamadodana amabili. Alwa egangeni njalo akulamuntu owayelapho ukuba awalamule. Enye yatshaya enye yayibulala.
7 Koro anywola duto orido ni jatichni matek; kagiwacho ni, Gol ngʼat mane onego owadgi, mondo wanege, kaka ne onego owadgi; eka wanatieki nyaka jarit girkeni bende. Koro gidwaro nego mirni maliel madongʼ-go, ka giweyo chwora dongʼ maonge nying kata kothe modongʼ e wangʼ piny.”
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 Ruoth nowacho ni dhakoni niya, “Dhi dala, kendo abiro golo chik e wachnino.”
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Buyela ekhaya, ngizakhupha umlayo ngimele wena.”
9 To dhako moa Tekoa nowachone niya, “Ruodha ma en ruoth, we mondo ketho odongʼ e wiya kendo ewi dhood wuora, to mondo ruoth gi kom ruodhe obed maonge ketho.”
Kodwa owesifazane waseThekhowa wathi kuyo, “Mhlekazi wami, nkosi, umlandu kawube kimi lakwabendlu kababa, kuthi inkosi lesihlalo sayo sobukhosi kungabi lacala.”
10 Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ka ngʼato owachoni gimoro, to mondo ikele ira, ma ok nochak ochandi kendo.”
Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa loba ngubani esitsho loba yini kuwe, mlethe kimi, njalo kasoze akuhluphe futhi.”
11 Nowacho niya, “Kara koro ruoth osingre gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ni odhi tamo jachul kuor mondo kik omed ketho kendo mondo wuoda kik negi.” Nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni onge yie wi wuodi kata achiel manolwar piny.”
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 Eka dhakono nowachone niya, “Yie iwe jatichni owach wach moro ni ruodhe ma en ruoth.” Nodwoke niya, “Wachi.”
Lapho-ke owesifazane wasesithi, “Vumela incekukazi yakho ikhulume ilizwi enkosini yami.” Yathi, “Khuluma.”
13 Kendo dhakono nowacho niya, “Kara en angʼo momiyo isengʼado wach marach kama kuom jo-Nyasaye? Ka ruoth wacho kama, donge ongʼado bura ne en owuon, nikech ruoth pok odwogo wuode mane oriembi.
Owesifazane wasesithi, “Pho kungani ucebe into enje ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu na? Nxa inkosi isitsho lokhu kayizidlisi ngecala na, ngoba inkosi kayiyibuyisanga indodana yayo eyaxotshwayo.
14 Kaka pi mopukore piny ma ok nyal tuom kendo, omiyo nyaka watho. To Nyasaye ok neg ngʼato; kar timo kamano, to oloso yore mondo ngʼat mane oriembi kik osiki ka en jasike.
Njengamanzi achithekele phansi, angeke abuthwe, kanjalo kumele sife. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kakususi ukuphila, esikhundleni salokho yena uceba izindlela zokuthi umuntu oxotshiweyo angehlukaniswa laye kokuphela.
15 “To koro sani asebiro mondo awach ma ni ruodha ma en ruoth nikech ji osemiya luoro. Jatichni noparo ni, ‘Abiro wuoyo gi ruoth; kamoro dipo kotimo gima jatichne okwaye.
Ngilande ukuzakutsho lokhu kumhlekazi wami inkosi, ngoba abantu sebengethusile. Incekukazi yakho icabange yathi, ‘Ngizakhuluma lenkosi, engxenye izakwenza lokho okucelwa yincekukazi yayo.
16 Kamoro dipo ruoth biro yie mondo okony jatichne e lwet ngʼat madwaro tieka an kaachiel gi wuoda e girkeni mane Nyasaye omiyowa.’
Engxenye inkosi izavuma ukuhlenga incekukazi yayo esandleni somuntu ozama ukungisusa mina lendodana yami elifeni esaliphiwa nguNkulunkulu.’
17 “To koro sani jatichni wacho ni, ‘Mad wach ruodha kelna kwe, nimar ruodha ma en ruoth chal gi malaika mar Nyasaye manono ber gi rach. Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi bed kodi.’”
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 Eka ruoth nowacho ni dhakono niya, “Kik ipandna dwoko e gima adwaro penji.” Dhakono nowacho niya, “Ruodha ma en ruoth owuo.”
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Ungangifihleli impendulo kulokhu engizakubuza khona.” Owesifazane wathi “Mhlekazi wami, inkosi kayikhulume.”
19 Ruoth nopenje niya, “Donge Joab ni kodi e wechegi duto?” Dhakono nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora e nyimi ni in ruodha ma en ruoth kendo ni gima iwachono en adier. Ee, ne en jatichni Joab mane onyisa mondo atim ma kendo en bende ema noketo wechegi e dho jatichni.
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 Jatichni Joab notimo ma mondo okel lokruok kuom gik matimore sanigi. Ruodha nigi rieko ka mar malaika mar Nyasaye kendo ongʼeyo gik moko duto matimore e pinywa ka.”
Inceku yakho uJowabi yenze lokhu ukuba iguqule umumo okhona khathesi. Inkosi yami ilenhlakanipho efana leyengilosi kaNkulunkulu yazi konke okwenzakalayo elizweni.”
21 Ruoth nowacho ni Joab niya, “Mano kare, abiro timo kamano. Dhiyo mondo iom wuowi ma Abisalom oduogi.”
Inkosi yasisithi kuJowabi, “Kulungile, ngizakwenza lokho. Hamba uyebuya lalo ijaha u-Abhisalomu.”
22 Joab nopodho piny auma e nyime mondo omiye duongʼ, kendo nogwedho ruoth. Joab nowacho niya, “Kawuononi jatichni ongʼeyo ni ogene gi ruodha ma en ruoth, nikech ruoth oseyie timo gima jatichne okwaye.”
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 Eka Joab nodhi Geshur mi okelo Abisalom Jerusalem.
Emva kwalokho uJowabi waya eGeshuri wayabuya lo-Abhisalomu eJerusalema.
24 To ruoth nowachone niya, “Nyaka odhi e ode owuon; kendo kik obi buta.” Omiyo Abisalom nodhi e ode owuon kendo ne ok osudo machiegni gi ruoth.
Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Kaye endlini yakhe, akumelanga abone ubuso bami.” Ngakho u-Abhisalomu waya endlini yakhe akaze abubona ubuso benkosi.
25 Ei Israel duto ne onge ngʼama ipako ni jaber ka Abisalom. Koa e wiye nyaka e pat tiende ne oonge gi mbala moro amora kuome.
Kulolonke elako-Israyeli kakho umuntu owayebatshazwa kakhulu ngobuhle bakhe njengo-Abhisalomu. Kusukela ekhanda lakhe kusiya ephangweni lonyawo lwakhe kwakungekho sici kuye.
26 E kinde duto mane olielo yie wiye, nimar nojaliel wiye kinde ka kinde nikech yie wiye ne dongo piyo kendo bedone mapek, kane opime to ne oloyo kilo ariyo kopim gi rapim mar joka ruoth.
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 Abisalom nonywolo yawuowi adek gi nyako achiel. Nyare ne iluongo ni Tamar, kendo nodongo nyako ma jaber.
U-Abhisalomu wazala amadodana amathathu lendodakazi eyodwa. Ibizo lendodakazi lalinguThamari, owayengumfazi omuhle.
28 Abisalom nodak Jerusalem kuom higni ariyo kapok osudo machiegni but ruoth.
U-Abhisalomu wahlala iminyaka emibili eJerusalema engabuboni ubuso benkosi.
29 Eka Abisalom noluongo Joab mondo oore ir ruoth, to Joab nodagi dhi ire. Omiyo nochako ooro wach mar ariyo to nochako odagi.
Yikho u-Abhisalomu wabiza uJowabi wamthuma enkosini, kodwa uJowabi wala ukuya kuye. Wathumela okwesibili, kodwa wala ukuza.
30 Eka nowachone jotije niya, “Neuru puoth Joab omakore gi mara, kendo cham mar shairi ni e iye. Dhiuru umokie mach.” Omiyo jotij Abisalom nodhi momoko mach e puodhono.
Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Khangelani, insimu kaJowabi iphansi kweyami, njalo kulebhali kiyo. Hambani liyeyithungela ngomlilo.” Ngakho izinceku zika-Abhisalomu zayithungela insimu ngomlilo.
31 Eka Joab nodhi ir Abisalom e ode mowachone niya, “Angʼo momiyo jotiji owangʼo puotha?”
Lapho-ke uJowabi waya endlini ka-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “Kungani izinceku zakho zithungele insimu yami ngomlilo?”
32 Abisalom nowacho ni Joab niya, “Ne, naoroni wach kawacho ni, ‘Bi mondo aori ir ruoth mondo ipenje kama: “Angʼo momiyo nabiro kawuok Geshur? Dine ber kane pod an kuno!”’ Sani koro adwaro dhi neno ruoth, to ka an gi ketho moro, to mondo onega.”
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 Omiyo Joab nodhi ir ruoth mowachone wechegi. Eka ruoth noluongo Abisalom, mi nodonjo kendo nokulore auma piny e nyim ruoth. Ruoth nonyodho Abisalom.
Ngakho uJowabi waya enkosini wayitshela lokhu. Inkosi yambiza u-Abhisalomu, wafika wangena wasesithi mbo phansi ngobuso phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yamanga u-Abhisalomu.
