2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
Zvino nhubu yainzi Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri, muBhenjamini, aivapowo. Akaridza hwamanda akadanidzira achiti, “Isu hatina mugove muna Dhavhidhi, hatina chikamu mumwanakomana waJese! Munhu wose ngaaende kutende rake, imi vaIsraeri!”
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Saka varume vose veIsraeri vakasiya Dhavhidhi kuti vatevere Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri. Asi varume veJudha vakagara namambo wavo kubva kuJorodhani kusvikira kuJerusarema.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
Dhavhidhi akati adzokera kumuzinda wake muJerusarema, akatora varongo vake gumi vaakanga asiya kuti vachengete muzinda akavaisa mumba vakachengetwa. Akavariritira asi haana kuvata navo. Vakanga vakachengetwa kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwavo, vachirarama sechirikadzi.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Ipapo mambo akati kuna Amasa, “Dana varume veJudha vauye kwandiri pakati pamazuva matatu, uye newe uve pano.”
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Asi Amasa akati aenda kundodana Judha, akatora nguva yakareba kupfuura yaakanga atarirwa namambo.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Abhishai, “Zvino Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri achatiitira zvakaipa kupfuura zvakaitwa naAbhusaromu. Tora varanda vatenzi wako umutevere, zvimwe angawana maguta akakomberedzwa uye akatipunyuka.”
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Saka vanhu vaJoabhu, vaKereti, vaPereti nemhare dzose vakabuda vachitungamirirwa naAbhishai. Vakafamba vachibva kuJerusarema vachitevera Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
Vakati vari padombo guru muGibheoni, Amasa akauya kuzosangana navo. Joabhu akanga akapfeka nguo yake yokurwa, uye pairi paiva nebhanhire rakasungirwa pachiuno chake rine munondo waiva mumuhara wawo. Zvino akati achienda mberi, wakadonha kubva mumuhara wawo.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joabhu akati kuna Amasa, “Wakadiniko, mununʼuna wangu?” Ipapo Joabhu akabata ndebvu dzaAmasa noruoko rwake rworudyi kuti amutsvode.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
Amasa akanga asina kuona munondo waiva muruoko rwaJoabhu, uye Joabhu akaunyudza mudumbu make, uye ura hwake hukawira pasi. Asina kunge abayiwazve, Amasa akafa. Ipapo Joabhu nomununʼuna wake vakatevera Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Mumwe wavanhu vaJoabhu akamira parutivi rwaAmasa akati, “Ani naani anoda Joabhu, uye ani naani ari waDhavhidhi, ngaatevere Joabhu!”
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
Amasa akavata achiumburuka muropa rake pakati pomugwagwa. Uye mumwe murume akaona kuti mauto ose aiuya achimira ipapo. Paakaona kuti munhu wose aisvika pana Amasa aimira, akamukweva kubva mumugwagwa akamuisa musango, akakanda nguo pamusoro pake.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Shure kwokunge Amasa abviswa mumugwagwa, varume vose vakapfuurira mberi naJoabhu vachitevera Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Shebha akapfuura nomumarudzi ose aIsraeri kusvikira kuAbheri Bheti Maaka uye nomudunhu rose ravaBheri, uye vakaungana pamwe chete vakamutevera.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Vakauya vakamukomba paShebha muAbheri Bheti Maaka. Vakavaka rusvingo rwevhu rukasvika kuguta, uye rwakamira rwakatarisana nenhare dzokunze. Pavakanga vachiputsa rusvingo,
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
mukadzi akangwara akadanidzira ari muguta akati, “Inzwai! Inzwai! Taurirai Joabhu kuti auye pano kuti ndigotaura naye.”
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
Akaenda kwaari, iye akamubvunza akati, “Ndiwe Joabhu here?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini.” Mukadzi akati, “Teererai zvinoreva murandakadzi wenyu.” Iye akati, “Ndakateerera.”
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Mukadzi akaenderera achiti, “Kare kare vaisimboti, ‘Tora mhinduro yako paAbheri,’ uye zvaipera ipapo.
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"
Isu tiri vorugare navakatendeka muIsraeri. Uri kuedza kuparadza guta rinova ndiro mai muIsraeri. Seiko uchida kumedza nhaka yaJehovha?”
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joabhu akati, “Ngazvive kure neni! Ngazvive kure neni kuti ndimedze kana kuparadza!
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
Hazvina kudaro. Asi murume anonzi Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri, anobva kunyika yamakomo yaEfuremu, ndiye akasimudza ruoko rwake kuti arwise mambo, kuti arwise Dhavhidhi. Uyai nomurume mumwe chete iyeye, ipapo ndichabva paguta.” Mukadzi akati kuna Joabhu, “Musoro wake uchakandwa kwauri naparusvingo.”
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Ipapo mukadzi akaenda kuvanhu vose nezano rake, vakagura musoro waShebha mwanakomana waBhikiri vakaukanda kuna Joabhu. Saka Joabhu akaridza hwamanda, vanhu vake vakapararira vachibva paguta, mumwe nomumwe achidzokera kumba kwake. Uye Joabhu akadzokera kuna mambo muJerusarema.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Joabhu akanga ari mukuru wehondo yose yeIsraeri; Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha akanga ari mukuru wavaKereti navaPareti;
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adhoniramu akanga ari mutariri wavashandi vechibharo; Jehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi akanga ari munyori wenhoroondo;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Shevha akanga ari munyori; Zadhoki naAbhiatari vaiva vaprista;
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
uye Ira muJairi aiva muprista waDhavhidhi.
