< Samuel 2 10 >
1 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Amonitɔwo ƒe fia ku eye via Hanun ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Kwathi emva kwesikhathi, inkosi yama-Amoni yafa, kwathi uHanuni indodana yayo waba yinkosi esikhundleni sayo.
2 David gblɔ be, “Manyo dɔ me na Hanun, Nahas ƒe vi abe ale si fofoa nyo dɔ me nam ene.” Ale David dɔ amewo be woado babaa na Hanun le fofoa ƒe ku ta. Esi David ƒe amewo va ɖo Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi la,
UDavida wacabanga wathi, “Ngizakuba lomusa kuHanuni indodana kaNahashi, njengoyise owayelomusa kimi.” Ngakho uDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyakhalela uHanuni ngoyise. Kwathi abantu bakaDavida sebefikile elizweni lama-Amoni,
3 Amonitɔwo ƒe amegãwo gblɔ na woƒe kplɔla 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 David dɔ ame siawo be woava tsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi eye yewoaho aʋa ɖe eŋu oa?”
izikhulu zama-Amoni zathi kuHanuni inkosi yazo, “Kambe ucabanga ukuthi uDavida uyamhlonipha uyihlo ngokuthuma izithunywa ukuthi zizokukhalela na? UDavida kazithumanga ukuba zizekhangela idolobho zilihlole njalo zihluthune umbuso na?”
4 Ale Hanun lé David ƒe amewo, ƒlɔ ge afãafã na wo eye wòlã woƒe awuwo ɖe woƒe gɔnu. Ale Hanun do mɔ ameawo.
Ngakho uHanuni wabamba izithunywa zikaDavida, waziphuca ingxenye yezindevu zomunye lomunye wabo, waquma izigqoko zazo phakathi ezinqeni, wasezixotsha.
5 Esi David se nya sia la, edɔ amewo woɖakpe ŋutsuawo kple gbedeasi be woatsi Yeriko va se ɖe esime woƒe ge nato elabena wodo ŋukpe wo ŋutɔ.
Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu wathuma izithunywa ukuyahlangabeza abantu labo ngoba babeyangiswe kakhulu. Inkosi yathi, “Hlalani eJerikho indevu zenu zize zikhule beselibuya-ke.”
6 Esi Amonitɔwo kpɔ be yewozu David ƒe ketɔwo la, wobia aʋawɔla akpe blaeve Aramtɔwo tso Bet Rehobnyigba kple Zobahnyigba dzi kpe ɖe ame akpe ɖeka tso Maaka fia gbɔ kple ame akpe wuieve tso Tobnyigba dzi.
Kwathi ama-Amoni esebonile ukuthi ayeseliphunga elibi emakhaleni kaDavida, aqhatsha izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili zamabutho ama-Aramu ahamba ngezinyawo evela eBhethi-Rehobhi kanye leZobha, ndawonye lenkosi yaseMahakha labantu abayinkulungwane, labanye abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili abavela eThobhi.
7 Esi David se nya sia la, eɖo Yoab kple aʋakɔ blibo la ɖa.
Uthe ekuzwa lokho, uDavida wathumela uJowabi kanye lamabutho akhe wonke.
8 Amonitɔwo va nɔ woƒe dua ƒe agbo nu hena aʋawɔwɔ le esime Aramtɔwo tso Zoba kple Rehob kple ame siwo tso Tob kple Maaka nɔ wo ɖokui si le gbedzi.
Ama-Amoni aphuma amisa impi ekungeneni kwesango ledolobho lawo, lapho ama-Aramu aseZobha kanye leRehobhi labantu beThobhi kanye leMahakha babebodwa egangeni.
9 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.
10 Ena akpa evelia si nɔ nɔvia Abisai ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la kpe aʋa kple Amonitɔwo.
Amanye amabutho ayesele wathi kawalawulwe ngu-Abhishayi umfowabo, wabahlela ukuthi bamelane lama-Amoni.
11 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 wathi, “Nxa ama-Aramu elamandla kakhulu kulami, uzengihlenga; kodwa nxa ama-Amoni elamandla kakhulu kulawe, ngizakuzakuhlenga.
12 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.”
13 Ale Yoab kple eƒe aʋakɔwo lũ ɖe Aramtɔwo dzi be woakpe aʋa kpli wo eye Aramtɔwo si le wo nu.
Ngakho uJowabi lamabutho ayelaye baqhubeka ukuba balwe lama-Aramu, asebaleka phambi kwakhe.
14 Esi Amonitɔwo kpɔ be Aramtɔwo nɔ sisim la, woawo hã lé du tsɔ le Abisai ŋgɔ eye woɖage ɖe du la me eya ta Yoab trɔ dzo yi Yerusalem.
Kuthe ama-Amoni ebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayebaleka, ebaleka phambi kuka-Abhishayi aya phakathi kwedolobho. Ngakho uJowabi waphenduka ekulweni lama-Amoni waya eJerusalema.
15 Esime Aramtɔwo kpɔ be Israelviwo ɖu yewo dzi la, wogbugbɔ ƒo ƒu wo ɖokuiwo.
Kwathi ama-Aramu ebona ukuthi ehlulwe ngama-Israyeli, aqoqana futhi.
16 Hadadezer na Aramtɔwo tso tɔsisi la godo yi Helam eye wonɔ Sobak, Hadadezer ƒe aʋafia ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
UHadadezeri wabiza ama-Aramu ayengaphetsheya koMfula uYufrathe; aya eHelamu loShobhakhi umlawuli wamabutho kaHadadezeri lamabutho ewakhokhele.
17 Esi wogblɔ nya sia na David la, eya ŋutɔ kplɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la yi Helam. Aramtɔwo ho aʋa ɖe David ŋu eye wowɔ aʋa kplii.
Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu, waqoqa bonke abako-Israyeli, wachapha uJodani waya eHelamu. Ama-Aramu aviva ukuba ahlangane loDavida asesilwa laye.
18 Ke Aramtɔwo gasi le Israelviwo nu. David wu Aramtɔwo ƒe sɔdola alafa adre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaene. Ede abi woƒe aʋafia, Sobak hã ŋu wòku le afi ma.
Kodwa abaleka phambi kuka-Israyeli, njalo uDavida wabulala abatshayeli bezinqola zabo zempi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba ngezinyawo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane. Wagalela loShobhakhi umlawuli webutho lawo, wafela khonapho.
19 Esi Hadadezer ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo kpɔ be woɖu Aramtɔwo dzi la wona ta eye wozu David tenɔlawo. Tso ɣe ma ɣi la, Aramtɔwo vɔ̃na be yewoagakpe ɖe Amonitɔwo ŋu.
Kwathi amakhosi wonke ayezinceku zikaHadadezeri ebona ukuthi ayesehlulwe ngu-Israyeli, enza ukuthula labako-Israyeli aba ngaphansi kombuso wabo. Ngakho ama-Aramu esaba ukusiza ama-Amoni futhi.
