Kronika 1 19
1 Esi ɣeyiɣiawo va le yiyim la, Amonitɔwo ƒe fia, Nahas, ku eye Via ŋutsu ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Kwathi emva kwesikhathi, uNahashi inkosi yama-Amoni wafa, ngakho indodana yakhe yathatha isikhundla yaba yinkosi.
2 David ɖo be, “Manyo dɔme na Hanun, Nahas ƒe vi elabena fofoa nyo dɔme nam.” Ale David dɔ amewo ɖa be woado babaa na Hanun le fofoa ƒe ku ta. Esi David ƒe amewo va tu Hanun le Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi be yewoado babaa nɛ la,
UDavida wacabanga wathi, “Ngizakuba lomusa kuHanuni indodana kaNahashi ngoba uyise wayelomusa kimi.” Ngakho uDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyakhalela uHanuni ngoyise. Izithunywa zikaDavida zithe zifika kuHanuni ukuthi zimkhalele elizweni lama-Amoni,
3 Amonitɔwo ƒe amegãwo gblɔ na Hanun be, “Ɖe nèbu be David le bubu dem ye fofo ŋu to ame siawo dɔdɔ ɖe gbɔwò be woado babaa na wò mea? Menye ɖe ame siawo va be yewoatsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi eye yewoaho aʋa ɖe eŋu oa?”
izikhulu zama-Amoni zathi kuHanuni, “Wena nkosi unakana ukuthi uDavida uhlonipha uyihlo ngokuthuma izithunywa zokukukhalela na? Amadoda akhe la kawasizinhloli ezithunywe ukuzahlola umumo welizwe ukuze ahluthune umbuso na?”
4 Nu sia na Fia Hanun lé Fia David ƒe amewo. Ena wolũ ge na wo eye wolã woƒe awuwo le woƒe agɔnu ale be woɖe amama ɖe agɔnu eye wòdo mɔ wo.
Ngenxa yalokho uHanuni wabamba izithunywa zikaDavida, waziphuca, waquma izigqoko zazo zafika ezibunu, wasezixotsha.
5 Ke esi wova gblɔ ŋutsuawo ŋu nya na David la, edɔ amewo woɖakpe ŋutsuawo kple gbedeasi be woatsi Yeriko va se ɖe esime woƒe ge nato elabena wodo ŋukpe wo ŋutɔ.
Kwathi uDavida esekuzwile lokho wathuma izithunywa ukuba zihlangabeze izithunywa, njengoba zazihlukuluzwe zayangiswa kakhulu. Inkosi yathi, “Lina hlalani eJerikho indevu zenu zize zikhule, libe selisiza ngapha.”
6 Esi Amonitɔwo kpɔ be yewozu David ƒe ketɔwo la, Hanun kple Amonitɔwo tsɔ klosaloga kilogram akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade be woaɖada aʋatasiaɖamwo kple wo dolawo tso Aram Naharaim, Aram Maaka kple Zoba.
Kwathi ama-Amoni esebonile ukuthi asenuka emakhaleni kaDavida, uHanuni lama-Amoni bathumela amathalenta esiliva ayinkulungwane okuqhatsha izinqola zokulwa labatshayeli bazo e-Aramu Naharayimu, le-Aramu-Mahakha laseZobha.
7 Woda tasiaɖam akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve kple wo dolawo. Nenema ke wotsɔ Maaka fia kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la, ame siwo va ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Medeba gbɔ, esime woyɔ Amonitɔwo ƒo ƒu tso woƒe duwo me eye wodo yi aʋakpeƒe.
Baqhatsha izinqola zokulwa labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili, banxusa lenkosi uMahakha lamabutho akhe, yona eyeza yazakanisa eMedebha labantu bayo, ama-Amoni lawo eqoqana emadolobheni awo aphuma ukuya empini.
8 Esi David se nya sia la, eɖo Yoab kple aʋakɔ blibo la ɖa.
Uthe ekuzwa lokho uDavida, wathumela uJowabi kanye lamabutho akhe wonke.
9 Amonitɔwo do go va woƒe dua ƒe agbo nu hena aʋawɔwɔ, eye fia siwo va la le aʋagbedzi wo tɔ wo tɔe.
Ama-Amoni asondela esehlome aphelela emangenelweni edolobho lakibo, kanti amakhosi ayenxusiwe ayejamile lawo wodwa egangeni.
10 Yoab kpɔ be wodze aʋa ɖe ye ŋgɔ kple ye megbe siaa eya ta etia Israel ƒe asrafo siwo bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me eye wòna woɖakpe aʋa kple Aramtɔwo.
UJowabi wabona ukuthi kwakulamaviyo amabutho phambi kwakhe langemva kwakhe, ngakho wakhetha amanye amaqhawe athenjiweyo ko-Israyeli wabahlela ukuba bamelane lama-Aramu.
11 Ena akpa evelia si nɔ nɔvia Abisai ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la kpe aʋa kple Amonitɔwo.
Amanye amabutho ayesele wathi kawalawulwe ngu-Abhishayi umfowabo, wona-ke ajamelana lama-Amoni.
12 Yoab gblɔ na nɔvia be, “Ne Aramtɔwo sẽ nam akpa la, nàva kpe ɖe ŋunye, ke ne Amonitɔwo sẽ na wò akpa la, mava kpe ɖe ŋuwò.
UJowabi wasesithi, “Nxa ama-Aramu ezangikhulela, wena uzangihlomulela; kanti-ke nxa ama-Amoni ezakukhulela lami ngizakuhlomulela.
13 “Lé dzi ɖe ƒo, eye na míawɔ aʋa la kalẽtɔe na míaƒe dukɔ kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe duwo. Yehowa awɔ nu si nyo le eŋkume.”
Qina, kasilwe ngesibindi silwela abantu bakithi lemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu. UThixo uzakwenza lokho okufaneleyo njengokubona kwakhe.”
14 Tete Yoab kple eƒe aʋakɔwo lũ ɖe Aramtɔwo dzi be woakpe aʋa kpli wo eye Aramtɔwo si le wo nu.
Ngakho uJowabi lamabutho ayelawo wasuka ukuyakulwa lama-Aramu, wona ahle abaleka phambi kwakhe.
15 Esi Amonitɔwo kpɔ be Aramtɔwo nɔ sisim la, woawo hã lé du tsɔ le nɔvia Abisai ŋgɔ eye woɖage ɖe du la me eya ta Yoab trɔ dzo yi Yerusalem.
Kuthe ama-Amoni ebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayabaleka, abaleka lawo phambi kuka-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi, abuyela phakathi kwedolobho. Ngakho uJowabi wasebuyela eJerusalema.
16 Esime Aramtɔwo kpɔ be Israelviwo ɖu yewo dzi la, wodɔ amewo be woadi aʋawɔla bubuwo tso Ufrates tɔsisi la godo eye wonɔ Sofak, Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋafia gã ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
Kwathi ama-Aramu esebonile ukuthi ehlulwe ngama-Israyeli, athuma izithunywa zayaphendula ama-Aramu ayengaphetsheya koMfula, kanye loShofaki umlawuli wamabutho kaHadadezeri lamabutho ayekhokhele.
17 Esi wogblɔ nya sia na David la, eƒo Israel blibo la nu ƒu, tso Yɔdan eye wodze aʋa ɖe wo ŋu. David ho aʋa ɖe Aramtɔwo ŋu eye Aramtɔwo wɔ aʋa kplii.
Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu, waqoqa bonke abako-Israyeli, wachapha uJodani, wajamelana labo ngamaviyo ayeqondene laye. UDavida walungiselela amaviyo akhe ukudibana lama-Aramu empini, lakanye alwa lawo.
18 Ke Aramtɔwo si le Israel nu eye David wu woƒe tasiaɖamŋusɔdola akpe adre kple asrafo afɔzɔla akpe blaene. Ewu woƒe aʋafia Sofak hã.
Abaleka ebona u-Israyeli, ngakho uDavida wabulala abatshayeli bezinqola zokulwa abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba ngezinyawo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. Waze wabulala loShofaki umlawuli wamabutho akhona.
19 Esi Hadadezer ƒe amewo kpɔ be Israel si yewo la, wowɔ ŋutifafa kple David eye wozu etenɔlawo. Tso esia dzi la, Aramtɔwo megakpe ɖe Amonviwo ŋu le woƒe aʋawɔwɔ me kpɔ o.
Kwathi izinceku zikaHadadezeri zibona ukuthi zehlulwe ngabako-Israyeli, zaxolisana loDavida, zathela kuye. Ngakho ama-Aramu awathandanga ukunceda ama-Amoni kusukela lapho.
