2 Samuel 20
1 To koro ne nitie ja-Benjamin machach ma nyinge Sheba wuod Bikri. Nogoyo turumbete kokok kowacho niya, “Waonge wat moro gi joka Daudi, kata gima oriwowa gi wuod Jesse! Yaye, ja-Israel moro ka moro odog e hembe!”
Ngalesosikhathi kwenzakala ukuthi umxabanisi owayethiwa nguShebha indodana kaBhikhiri umBhenjamini abekhona. Wakhalisa icilongo waklabalala esithi, “Kasilasabelo kuDavida, kasilangxenye endodaneni kaJese! Umuntu wonke ethenteni lakhe, Oh Israyeli!”
2 Omiyo jo-Israel duto noweyo Daudi mondo oluw Sheba wuod Bikri. To jo-Juda to nodongʼ gi ruodhgi ka gia Jordan nyaka gichopo Jerusalem.
Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bahlubuka kuDavida balandela uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri. Kodwa abantu bakoJuda babambelela enkosini yabo umango wonke kusukela eJodani kusiya eJerusalema.
3 Kane Daudi odwogo dalane Jerusalem, nokawo monde apar mamoko mane oweyo mondo orit dalane, mine oketogi e ot moro miritogie. Nomiyogi gik ma gikonyorego, to ne ok oriwore kodgi. Nolornegi e ot nyaka ne githo, ka gidak ka mon ma chwogi otho.
UDavida esebuyele esigodlweni sakhe eJerusalema, wathatha abafazi bakhe beceleni abalitshumi ayebatshiye begcine isigodlo wababeka endlini elindwayo. Wabanika ababekuswela, kodwa kembathanga labo. Babehlala bevalelwe kuze kube lusuku lokufa kwabo, baphila njengabafelokazi.
4 Eka ruoth nowacho ni Amasa niya, “Luong jo-Juda mondo obi ira bangʼ ndalo adek, to in bende ibi ka.”
Inkosi yasisithi ku-Amasa, “Biza abantu bakoJuda beze kimi phakathi kwensuku ezintathu, lawe ube lapha wena ngokwakho.”
5 Kane Amasa odhi luongo jo-Juda nokawo ndalo mangʼeny moloyo ndalo mane ruoth omiye.
Kodwa u-Amasa eseyebiza uJuda, wathatha isikhathi eside kulaleso inkosi eyayimisele sona.
6 Daudi nowachone Abishai niya, “Koro Sheba wuod Bikri biro hinyowa moloyo kaka Abisalom notimo. Kaw jolwenj ruodhi mondo ilawe, ka ok kamano to onyalo yudo mier madongo mochiel mi odonjie kendo olalnwa.”
UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhishayi, “Khathesi uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri uzasenzela umonakalo odlula owenziwa ngu-Abhisalomu. Thatha abantu benkosi yakho umlandele, hlezi athole amadolobho avikelweyo aphunyuke kithi.”
7 Omiyo jo-Joab gi jo-Kereth gi jo-Peleth kod jolweny mathuondi duto nowuok kotelnegi gi Abishai. Ne giwuok Jerusalem mondo gilaw Sheba wuod Bikri.
Ngakho abantu bakaJowabi lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi kanye lamaqhawe wonke alamandla baphuma belawulwa ngu-Abhishayi. Bahamba besuka eJerusalema belandela uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
8 Kane pod gin e lwanda maduongʼ man Gibeon, Amasa nobiro romo kodgi. Joab norwako lepe mag lweny kendo notweyo okanda e nungone mosoyoe ligangla man e olalo. Kane osudo nyime, ligangla nolwar koa e olalo.
Kwathi besesedwaleni elikhulu eGibhiyoni, u-Amasa wayabahlangabeza. UJowabi wayegqoke ibhatshi lakhe lempi, phezu kwalo, ekhalweni lwakhe, kubophe ibhanti lilomhedla esikhwameni sawo. Esahamba esiya phambili, umhedla wawela ngaphandle kwesikhwama sawo.
9 Joab nowachone Amasa niya, “Idhi nade owadwa?” Eka Joab nomako Amasa gi yie tike gi lwete ma korachwich ka gima odwaro mose gi nyoth.
UJowabi wasesithi ku-Amasa, “Unjani, mfowethu?” UJowabi wasebamba u-Amasa ngendevu ngesandla sakhe sokudla wasemanga.
10 To Amasa ne onge gi paro moro amora kuom ligangla mane ni e lwet Joab, kendo Joab nochwowo bund iye gi liganglano molal, mi nyimbiye noredhore piny. Amasa notho ma ok ochako ochwowe kendo. Eka Joab gi owadgi ma Abishai nolawo Sheba wuod Bikri.
U-Amasa kawunanzelelanga umhedla owawuphethwe nguJowabi, uJowabi wasemgwaza esiswini sakhe, amathumbu akhe ahutshukela phandle emhlabathini. Lanxa engasagwazwanga futhi, u-Amasa wafa. Emva kwalokho uJowabi lomfowabo u-Abhishayi baxotshana loShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
11 Achiel kuom jo-Joab nochungʼ but Amasa mowacho niya, “Ngʼama jakor Joab; kendo moyie gi Daudi mondo oluw bangʼ Joab!”
Omunye wabantu bakaJowabi wema phansi kuka-Amasa wathi, “Lowo othanda uJowabi, lalowo ongokaDavida, kalandele uJowabi!”
12 Amasa noriere piny kochadhore gi rembe e dier yo, kendo ngʼatno noneno ka jolweny duto ne chungʼ kochopo kanyo. Bende ka noneno ka ji duto chungʼ kochopo kama Amasa nothoeno, noywaye oko mar yo motere e pap moume gi law.
U-Amasa walala ezibhixeka egazini lakhe phakathi komgwaqo, umuntu lowo wabona ukuthi amabutho wonke afika ame khonapho. Kwathi esenanzelele ukuthi umuntu wonke owafika ku-Amasa wema, wamhudula emsusa emgwaqweni wamusa egangeni, waphosela isembatho phezu kwakhe.
13 Kane Amasa osegol e yo, ji duto nodhi gi Joab mondo gilaw Sheba wuod Bikri.
Emva kokuba u-Amasa esesusiwe emgwaqweni, abantu bonke bedlula loJowabi ukuyaxotshana loShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
14 Sheba nokadho e dier dhout Israel duto mochopo nyaka Abel Beth Maaka, bende nokadho e gwenge jo-Beri duto, kendo jogo nochokore kaachiel mondo oluwe.
UShebha wadabula phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli kusiya e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha laphakathi kwesabelo sonke samaBikiri, aqoqanayo amlandela.
15 Migepe duto mag jolweny mane nigi Joab nobiro molworo Sheba ka en Abel Beth Maaka. Negigoyo agengʼa ne dala maduongʼno kendo ka gichungʼ e agengʼa molworo ohinga. To e kindeno mane gitwomo ohinganano mondo gimuke,
Wonke amabutho ayeloJowabi afika amvimbezela uShebha e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha. Bakha idundulu lokuvimbezela elalifika edolobheni njalo laleyame izinqaba zangaphandle. Besagqula umduli ukuba bawudilize,
16 dhako moro mariek mane ni e dala maduongʼno nokok matek kowacho niya, “Winjuru! Nyisuru Joab obi ka mondo alos kode.”
owesifazane ohlakaniphileyo wamemeza esedolobheni wathi, “Lalelani! Lalelani! Tshelani uJowabi eze lapha ukuze ngikhulume laye.”
17 Joab nodhi kama dhakono ne nitie, mi nopenjo niya, “In e Joab?” Nodwoke niya, “En an.” Nowachone niya, “Chik iti ni gima jatichni dwaro wachoni.” Joab nowacho niya, “Awinjo.”
Wahamba esiya kuye, wasembuza esithi, “UnguJowabi na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.” Wasesithi, “Lalela okuzatshiwo yincekukazi yakho.” Wathi, “Ngilalele.”
18 Nomedo wuoyo kowachone niya, “Chon gi lala ji ne jawacho ni, ‘Dhi Abel mondo ngʼadnie rieko,’ kendo wachno ne rumo kamano.
Owesifazane waqhubeka wathi, “Kudala babejwayele ukuthi, ‘Funani impendulo e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha,’ lokho kwakuyiqeda indaba.
19 Wan joma odak gi kwe kendo ma jo-adiera e piny Israel ka. In to itemo mondo iketh dala maduongʼ man Israel. Angʼo momiyo idwaro tieko oganda Jehova Nyasaye?”
Thina singabathuleyo labathembekileyo ko-Israyeli. Wena uzama ukudiliza idolobho elingunina ko-Israyeli. Kungani ufuna ukuginya ilifa likaThixo na?”
20 Joab nodwoke niya, “Ngangʼ, ok en kamano! Mano gima ok anyal timo kendo ok anyal kethe!
UJowabi waphendula wathi, “Akusikho lokho! Akusikho lokho ukuginya loba ukudiliza!
21 Ngangʼ, ok en kamano! To gima timore en ni ngʼat moro miluongo ni Sheba wuod Bikri, moa e piny gode mag Efraim, ema piem gi ruoth Daudi. Omiyo miya ngʼatno kende, to abiro weyo dala maduongʼni.” Dhakoni nowachone Joab niya, “Wiye ibiro dirni gi ewi ohinga.”
Akunjalo. Umuntu othiwa nguShebha indodana kaBhikhiri, owaselizweni lezintaba lako-Efrayimi, uphakamisele inkosi isandla sakhe emelana layo, emelana loDavida. Mletheni umuntu lowo, ngisuke edolobheni.” Owesifazane wathi kuJowabi “Ikhanda lakhe lizaphoswa kuwe lisuka emdulini.”
22 Eka dhakono nodhi ir ji gi riekone mane ongʼadono, kendo negingʼado wi Sheba wuod Bikri mi gidiro ni Joab. Omiyo nogoyo turumbete, mi joge no-aa mi giweyo dala maduongʼno kendo moro ka moro nodok e dalane. Joab to nodok Jerusalem ir ruoth.
Emva kwalokho owesifazane lowo waya ebantwini bonke leseluleko sakhe esikhaliphileyo, baquma ikhanda likaShebha indodana kaBhikhiri baliphosela kuJowabi. Ngakho wakhalisa icilongo, abantu bakhe bachitheka besuka edolobheni, lowo lalowo ebuyela emzini wakhe. UJowabi wabuyela enkosini eJerusalema.
23 Joab ne jatend jolweny Israel duto; ka Benaya wuod Jehoyada to ne otelo ne jolwenj jo-Kereth kod jo-Peleth.
UJowabi wayephethe lonke ibutho lako-Israyeli; uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada ephethe amaKherethi lamaPhelethi;
24 Adoniram to notelo ni joma tiyo tich achuna, Jehoshafat wuod Ahilud ne jandiko;
u-Adoniramu wayephethe izibhalwa; uJehoshafathi indodana ka-Ahiludi wayengumbhali;
25 Sheva ne jagoro; to Zadok gi Abiathar ne jodolo.
uSheva engumabhalane; uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari bengabaphristi;
26 To Ira ja-Jair ne jadolo mar Daudi.
u-Ira umJayiri engumphristi kaDavida.
