< Samuel 2 11 >

1 Le Adame esi fiawo ƒe aʋawɔɣi ɖo la, David ɖo Yoab kple Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖa be woatsrɔ̃ Amonitɔwo eye woɖe to ɖe Raba. Ke David nɔ Yerusalem.
Kwathi entwasa, ngesikhathi amakhosi ayesiyakulwa ngaso impi, uDavida wathuma uJowabi elabantu benkosi lebutho lonke lako-Israyeli. Baqothula ama-Amoni basebevimbezela iRabha. Kodwa uDavida wasala eJerusalema.
2 Gbe ɖeka le ɣetrɔ me la, David fɔ eye wòɖi tsa le eƒe fiasã la ƒe xɔta ƒe gbadzaƒe. Ekpɔ nyɔnu aɖe si dze tugbe ŋutɔŋutɔ wònɔ tsi lem,
Ngelinye ilanga kusihlwa uDavida wavuka embhedeni wakhe wahambahamba phezu kophahla lwesigodlo. Esephahleni wabona owesifazane egeza. Owesifazane lowo wayemuhle kakhulu,
3 ale wòdɔ ame ɖa be woakpɔe ɖa be nyɔnu kae mahã. Amea de gbɔ va gblɔ nɛ be nyɔnu lae nye Batseba, Eliam ƒe vinyɔnu eye wònye Uria srɔ̃.
uDavida wasethuma umuntu ukuyabuza ngaye. Umuntu lowo wathi, “Kanti lo kasuBhathishebha, indodakazi ka-Eliyami umka-Uriya umHithi na?”
4 Enumake David na woyɔe nɛ. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me tututu la, Batseba wu ɖokuiŋukɔkɔ le gbɔtotsitsi megbe ƒe wɔnawo nu teti ko. Esi wòva la, David dɔ egbɔ eye wòtrɔ yi aƒe me.
UDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyamthatha. Weza kuye, wembatha laye. (Owesifazane lo wayezihlambulule ekungcoleni kwakhe.) Emva kwalokho wabuyela ekhaya.
5 Emegbe esi Batseba kpɔ be yefɔ fu la eɖo ame ɖe David hegblɔe nɛ.
Owesifazane lowo wathatha isisu, wasethumela ilizwi kuDavida, esithi, “Sengilesisu.”
6 Ale David dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Yoab be, “Ɖo Uria, Hititɔ la ɖem.”
Ngakho uDavida wathumela ilizwi leli kuJowabi elithi: “Ngilethela u-Uriya umHithi.” UJowabi wamthumela kuDavida.
7 Esi Uria va ɖo la, David bia gbee tso Yoab kple aʋakɔ la kple aʋa la ƒe yiyi me ŋuti.
U-Uriya esefikile kuye, uDavida wambuza ukuthi uJowabi wayenjani, amabutho ayenjani kanye lokuthi impi yayiqhubeka njani.
8 Emegbe la, David gblɔ na Uria be wòayi aɖagbɔ ɖe eme le eƒe aƒe me eye wòɖo nunana aɖe ɖee.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Uriya, “Yehlela endlini yakho ugeze inyawo zakho.” Ngakho u-Uriya wasuka esigodlweni, walandelwa yisipho esavela enkosini esasala sithunyelwa kuye.
9 Ke Uria meyi aƒe me o; etsi fiasã la ƒe agbonu kple fia la ƒe subɔlawo.
Kodwa u-Uriya walala entubeni yesigodlo lezinceku zonke zenkosi yakhe akaze aya endlini yakhe.
10 Esi David se nu si Uria wɔ la, eyɔe hebiae be, “Nya kae dzɔ? Nu ka ta mèyi srɔ̃wò gbɔ le wò aƒe me etsɔ fiẽ esi nèdzo le aƒe me eteƒe didi alea o?”
Kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ukuthi, “U-Uriya kayanga ekhaya,” wambuza wathi, “Angithi usanda kufika nje uvela khatshana? Kungani ungayanga ekhaya?”
11 Uria ɖo eŋu na David be, “Nubablaɖaka la kple Israel kpakple Yuda wole agbadɔ me. Nye aʋafia Yoab kple nye aƒetɔ ƒe amewo katã le gbedzi. Ɖe nye ya mayi aƒe me, ano wain, aɖu nu eye madɔ srɔ̃nye gbɔa? Meka atam be nyemaɖi fɔ to nu siawo wɔwɔ me o.”
U-Uriya wathi kuDavida, “Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lo-Israyeli loJuda kuhlezi emathenteni, inkosi yami uJowabi kanye labantu benkosi yami bamise egangeni. Pho ngingaya kanjani endlini ukuyakudla, lokunatha ngilale lomkami futhi na? Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uphila, mina angiyikwenza into enjalo!”
12 David gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo; tsi anyi zã sia eye nàtrɔ ayi aʋagbedzi etsɔ,” Ale Uria tsi fiasã la me le Yerusalem.
UDavida wasesithi kuye, “Hlala lapha elinye ilanga futhi, kusasa ngizakubuyisela emuva.” Ngakho u-Uriya wahlala eJerusalema lolosuku kanye lolwalandelayo.
13 David kpee ɖe fiẽnuɖukplɔ̃ ŋu eye wòna wòno aha mu gake egagbe aƒemeyiyi eye wògatsi fiasã la ƒe agbo nu dɔ.
Esecelwe nguDavida, wadla wanatha laye, uDavida wasemdakisa. Kodwa kusihlwa u-Uriya waphuma wayalala ecansini lakhe phakathi kwezinceku zenkosi yakhe; akayanga ekhaya.
14 Esi ŋu ke la, David ŋlɔ agbalẽ de asi na Uria be wòatsɔ ayi na Yoab.
Ekuseni uDavida walobela uJowabi incwadi wayiphathisa u-Uriya.
15 Fia la ɖo na Yoab to agbalẽ la me be wòaɖo Uria ɖe afi si aʋa la sẽ le eye wòana amewo nade megbe le eŋu ale be woawui!
Kuyo wayelobe ukuthi, “U-Uriya mbeke kuviyo eliphambili lapho impi evutha khona kakhulu. Lapho-ke khumukani kuye ukuze acakazelwe phansi afe.”
16 Ale Yoab ɖo Uria ɖe teƒe aɖe si te ɖe du si ŋu woɖe to ɖe afi si wònya be futɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla sesẽwo nɔ.
Ngakho kwathi uJowabi idolobho eselivimbezele, wabeka u-Uriya lapho ayesazi khona ukuthi yikho okwakulabavikeli abalamandla kakhulu.
17 Ale wowu Uria, Hititɔ la kple Israelvi geɖewo.
Kwathi abantu bakulelodolobho sebephumile ukuba balwe loJowabi, abanye babantu ebuthweni likaDavida bafa; u-Uriya umHithi laye futhi wafa.
18 Yoab ɖo du ɖe David tso aʋa la ƒe yiyime ŋuti.
UJowabi wathumela uDavida umbiko opheleleyo ngempi.
19 Egblɔ na ame si wòdɔ la be, “Ne ègblɔ nya sia nya tso aʋa la ŋu la,
Walaya isithunywa wathi: “Lapho usuqedile ukwethulela inkosi umbiko wempi,
20 ɖewohĩ ado dɔmedzoe abia wò be, ‘Nu ka ta miegogo du la nenema le aʋa la wɔwɔ me? Ɖe mienya be woada aŋutrɔwo tso gli la dzi oa?
ulaka lwenkosi lungavutha, ibe isibuza isithi, ‘Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka ledolobho ukuba lilwe? Kalazanga yini ukuthi kade bengatshoka imitshoko besemdulini?
21 Mieɖo ŋku ale si wowu Abimelek, Yerub Beset ƒe vi, la dzi oa? Nyɔnu aɖee ɖe asi le wɔtutevi ŋu tso gli la dzi wòwui le Tebez. Nu ka ta miegogo gli la nenema?’ Ne Fia la bia nya siawo wò la, gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wowu wò aʋakplɔla Uria, Hititɔ la hã.’”
Ngubani obulele u-Abhimelekhi indodana kaJerubhi-Bheshethi na? Owesifazane obephezu komduli kamjikijelanga ngembokodo, wayafela eThebhezi na? Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka lomduli?’ Ingakubuza lokhu, uthi kuyo, ‘Lenceku yakho u-Uriya umHithi ifile.’”
22 Ale ame dɔdɔ la yi Yerusalem eye wògblɔ nya la na David.
Isithunywa sasuka sahamba, kwathi sesifikile samtshela uDavida konke uJowabi ayesithume ukuba siyekutsho.
23 Egblɔ be, “Futɔwo lũ ɖe mía dzi; míenya wo wogbugbɔ yi dua ƒe agbowo nu.
Isithunywa sathi kuDavida, “Abantu basikhulele, baphuma bazasihlasela etshatshalazini, kodwa sibadudulele emuva entubeni yedolobho.
24 Glidzinɔlawo ho aʋa ɖe mía ŋu, wowu míaƒe ame aɖewo eye wowu wò aʋakplɔla Uria, Hititɔ la, hã.”
Lapho-ke abemitshoko batshoke izinceku zakho besemdulini, kwathi abanye abantu benkosi bafa. Lenceku yakho, u-Uriya umHithi ifile.”
25 David gblɔ nɛ be, “Gblɔ na Yoab be dzi megaɖe le eƒo o; ame sia ame ate ŋu atsi yi nu gbe ɖeka. Miyi aʋa la wɔwɔ dzi sesĩe wu tsã eye miagbã du la. De dzi ƒo nɛ be eyae le dɔ dzi loo!”
UDavida watshela isithunywa wathi, “Yitsho lokhu kuJowabi: ‘Ungakhathazwa yilokhu; inkemba idla omunye njengoba isidla omunye. Qinisa ukuhlasela idolobho, ulichithe.’ Yitsho lokhu ukuba umise isibindi uJowabi.”
26 Esi Batseba se be ye srɔ̃ Uria ku la, efae vevie
Kwathi umka-Uriya esezwile ukuthi umkakhe usefile, wamlilela.
27 eye esi konyifaɣi la wu nu la, David na Batseba ʋu yi fiasã la me eye wòzu srɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖeka. Batseba dzi ŋutsuvi nɛ, ke nu si David wɔ la, medze Yehowa ŋu kura o.
Kwathi isikhathi sokulila sesiphelile, uDavida wamletha endlini yakhe, wasesiba ngumkakhe wamzalela indodana. Kodwa into eyenziwa nguDavida yathukuthelisa uThixo.
