Samuel 2 15
1 Emegbe la, Absalom ƒle tasiaɖam nyui aɖe kple sɔwo eye wòdi ame blaatɔ̃ siwo anɔ du ƒum le eŋgɔ.
Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi u-Abhisalomu wazidingela inqola yempi lamabhiza kanye labantu abangamatshumi amahlanu ukuba ngabagijima phambi kwakhe.
2 Efɔna kaba ŋdi sia ŋdi, yia dua ƒe agbonu eye ne ame aɖe tsɔ nya aɖe gbɔna be fia nadrɔ̃ na ye la, Absalom yɔnɛ eye wòbianɛ be, “Du ka me nètso?” Ne ame la ɖo eŋu be “Wò dɔla tso Israel toawo dometɔ ɖeka me la,”
Wayevuka ekuseni kakhulu ame eceleni komgwaqo oya esangweni ledolobho. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofikayo ukuyamangala icala enkosini ukuba liqunywe, u-Abhisalomu wayembiza athi, “Wena uvela kuliphi idolobho?” Wayephendula athi, “Inceku yakho ivela kwesinye sezizwana zako-Israyeli.”
3 Absalom gblɔna be, “Mekpɔ be wò nya dzɔ; evem ŋutɔ be ame aɖeke mele Fia la ŋu si akpe ɖe eŋu le nya siawo dɔdrɔ̃ me o.”
Lapho-ke u-Abhisalomu wayesithi kuye, “Khangela, okufunayo kuqondile njalo kufanele, kodwa akulammeli wenkosi ukuba akuzwe.”
4 Absalom gagblɔna be, “Nyee anye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la la hafi, ekema ame sia ame ate ŋu atsɔ eƒe ʋɔnunya vɛ nam eye madrɔ̃ nya dzɔdzɔe nɛ!”
U-Abhisalomu wayeqhubeka athi, “Sekuze kungathi ngabe ngabekwa ukuba ngumahluleli elizweni! Loba ngubani olensolo kumbe icala wayezakuza kimi ngibone ukuthi wahlulelwa kuhle.”
5 Ne ame aɖe va be yeade ta agu nɛ la, melɔ̃na o, ke boŋ enaa asii eye wòkplaa asi kɔ nɛ boŋ.
Njalo kwakusithi umuntu angafika kuye akhothamele phansi phambi kwakhe, u-Abhisalomu wayeselula isandla sakhe ambambe amange.
6 Absalom to mɔ sia dzi eye wòna Israelviwo katã tsɔ lɔlɔ̃ tɔxɛ nɛ.
U-Abhisalomu waziphatha ngale indlela kubo bonke abako-Israyeli abaya enkosini ukuyacela ukwahlulelwa kuhle, ngalokho wakhanga inhliziyo zabantu abanengi ko-Israyeli.
7 Le ƒe enelia ƒe nuwuwu la, Absalom gblɔ na Fia la be, “Na mayi Hebron eye maxe adzɔgbe aɖe si meɖe na Yehowa.
Ekupheleni kweminyaka emine, u-Abhisalomu wathi enkosini, “Ngisake ngiye eHebhroni ukuyagcwalisa isifungo engasenzayo kuThixo.
8 Esi wò subɔla nɔ Gesur le Aram la, meɖe adzɔgbe be, ‘Ne Yehowa akplɔm maɖo Yerusalem la, masubɔ Yehowa le Hebron.’”
Inceku yakho isahlala eGeshuri e-Aramu, yenza isifungo lesi: ‘Nxa uThixo engangibuyisela eJerusalema ngizamkhonza uThixo eHebhroni.’”
9 Fia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo; yi nàsa vɔ la le adzɔgbe si nèɖe la nu.” Ale Absalom yi Hebron.
Inkosi yathi kuye, “Hamba ngokuthula.” Ngakho waya eHebhroni.
10 Ke esi wònɔ afi ma la, eɖo ŋkutsalawo ɖe Israel ƒe to ɖe sia ɖe me be woagblɔ na amewo be; “Ne miese kpẽwo ƒe ɖiɖi ko la, mianya be wotsɔ Absalom ɖo fiae le Hebron.”
Emva kwalokho u-Abhisalomu wathuma izithunywa ezifihlakeleyo kuzozonke izizwana zako-Israyeli ukuba zithi, “Lingezwa nje ukukhala kwecilongo, tshonini lithi, ‘U-Abhisalomu uyinkosi eHebhroni!’”
11 Absalom kplɔ ame alafa eve ɖe asi tso Yerusalem abe eƒe amedzrowo ene ke womenya naneke tso eƒe tameɖoɖowo ŋu o.
Abantu abangamakhulu amabili baseJerusalema babehambe lo-Abhisalomu. Babenxuswe njengezethekeli njalo behambe bekhululekile, bengazi lutho ngendaba leyo.
12 Esi wònɔ vɔ sam la, eɖo du ɖe Ahitofel, ame si nye David ƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo dometɔ ɖeka si nɔ Giloh. Ahitofel va de Absalom dzi abe ale si ame geɖewo wɔ ene, ale Absalom ƒe babla ɖe David ŋu nu sẽ ŋutɔ.
U-Abhisalomu esanikela imihlatshelo, wabiza u-Ahithofeli umGiloni, umeluleki kaDavida, ukuba eze evela eGilo, umuzi wakibo. Ngalokho icebo lomvukela laqina, labalandeli baka-Abhisalomu baqhubeka besanda.
13 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, ame aɖe va ɖo Yerusalem eye wògblɔ na Fia David be, “Israelviwo katã de Absalom dzi eye wobla ɖe ŋuwò!”
Kwafika isithunywa kuDavida sathi, “Inhliziyo zabantu bako-Israyeli ziku-Abhisalomu.”
14 David gblɔ na eƒe amewo enumake be, “Ekema mina míasi enumake hafi sisi magava nɔ mía ŋu o. Ne míesi dzo le dua me hafi Absalom va ɖo la, ekema míawo kple Yerusalem du la siaa míakpɔ ɖeɖe.”
UDavida wasesithi kuzozonke izikhulu zakhe ezazilaye eJerusalema, “Wozani! Kumele sibaleke, hlezi kungabi lamunye wethu ozaphepha ku-Abhisalomu. Kumele sisuke masinyane hlezi asixhume alethe incithakalo kithi njalo ahlasele idolobho ngenkemba.”
15 Eŋumewo ka ɖe edzi nɛ be, “Míeli kpli wò; wɔ nu si nyo na wò, míaƒe aƒetɔ fia.”
Izikhulu zenkosi zaphendula zathi, “Izinceku zakho zilungele ukwenza loba yini umhlekazi wethu inkosi akukhethayo.”
16 Ale David kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo dze mɔ enumake; eƒe ahiãvi ewo ko wògble ɖi be woanɔ fiasã la dzi kpɔm.
Inkosi yaphuma labendlu yayo bonke beyilandela; kodwa yatshiya abafazi beceleni abalitshumi ukuba bagcine isigodlo.
17 Ale fia la dze mɔ, eƒe amewo katã dze eyome eye wotɔ ɖe dua godo.
Ngakho inkosi yasuka, labantu bonke beyilandela, basebesima endaweni elibanga elithize.
18 Eƒe amewo kple Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo kple Gititɔ alafa adeawo, ame siwo dze eyome tso Gat la va to eŋu eye wozɔ le fia la ŋgɔ.
Bonke abantu bayo bayedlula, ndawonye lawo wonke amaKherethi lamaPhelethi, kanye lawo wonke amaGithi angamakhulu ayisithupha ayehambe layo kusukela eGathi ahamba phambi kwenkosi.
19 Fia la gblɔ na Itai, Gititɔ la be, “Nu ka ta nànɔ mía dome? Trɔ nàyi aɖanɔ Absalom ŋu. Amedzroe nènye, ame si si dzo le mia de.
Inkosi yasisithi ku-Ithayi umGithi, “Kungani uhamba lathi na? Buyela emuva uyehlala lenkosi u-Abhisalomu. Wena ungumuntu wezizweni, owaxotshwayo elizweni lakini.
20 Etsɔ ko nèva! Egbe la, ɖe mana nàtsa tsaglalã kpli mí, le esime nyemenya afi si yim nye ŋutɔ mele oa? Trɔ kple wò amewo. Amenuveve kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nanɔ kpli mi.”
Ufike izolo nje. Kambe sekungathi lamhla lokhu ngikwenze uzulazule lathi, mina ngingakwazi lalapho engingaya khona? Buyela emuva uthathe abantu bakini. Sengathi uThixo angakwenzela umusa lokuhle.”
21 Ke Itai ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔ Yehowa kple wò ŋutɔ wò agbe ka atam be afi sia afi si nàyi la, nye hã mayi; nya sia nya nedzɔ, nenye agbee hã, kue hã!”
Kodwa u-Ithayi wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, njalo njengoba umhlekazi wami inkosi, ephila, loba kungaphi lapho umhlekazi wami inkosi ezakuba ikhona, loba kusitsho ukuphila kumbe ukufa, inceku yakho izakuba khonapho.”
22 David ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, miva míyi.” Ale Itai kple eƒe ame alafa adeawo kple woƒe aƒemetɔwo yi kpli wo.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Ithayi, “Qhubeka, hamba.” Ngakho u-Ithayi umGithi wahamba labantu bakhe bonke kanye lezimuli ezazilaye.
23 Ame sia ame lé blanui le dua me esime fia la kple eƒe amewo va yina. Wotso Kidron tɔʋu la eye woɖo ta gbegbe la.
Ilizwe lonke lakhala kakhulu lapho abantu bonke besedlula. Inkosi yachapha isiHotsha saseKhidironi, abantu bonke bahamba beqonde enkangala.
24 Abiata kple Zadok kple Levitɔwo kɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la eye wodae ɖe mɔto va se ɖe esime ame sia ame va yi vɔ.
UZadokhi laye wayekhona, labaLevi bonke ababelaye babethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, njalo u-Abhiyathari wanikela imihlatshelo abantu bonke baze baphela ukusuka edolobheni.
25 Fia la gblɔ na Zadok be, “Gbugbɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi dua me. Ne mekpɔ amenuveve le Yehowa ŋkume la, Yehowa ana magagbɔ ava kpɔe kple eƒe nɔƒe.
Inkosi yasisithi kuZadokhi, “Buyisela ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu edolobheni. Ngingathola umusa emehlweni kaThixo, uzangibuyisela emuva enze ukuba ngilibone futhi kanye lendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
26 Ke ne egblɔ be, ‘Nyemekpɔ ŋudzedze le ŋuwò o’ la, ekema mele klalo; newɔ nu sia nu si dze eŋu lam.”
Kodwa angathi, ‘Kangithokozi ngawe,’ lapho-ke ngizilungisele; kenze kimi loba kuyini okukhanya kulungile kuye.”
27 Fia la gblɔ na Zadok be, “Kpɔ ɖa, medi be nàtrɔ le ŋutifafa me ayi dua me kple viwò Ahimaaz kple Abiata ƒe vi, Yonatan.
Inkosi yabuya yathi kuZadokhi umphristi, “Uyazwisisa na? Buyela emuva edolobheni ngokuthula, lendodana yakho u-Ahimazi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari. Wena lo-Abhiyathari hambani lamadodana enu.
28 Matɔ ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe tɔtsoƒe va se ɖe esime mese nya aɖe tso gbɔwò. Na manya nu si le dzɔdzɔm le Yerusalem hafi mabu ɖe gbegbe la.”
Mina ngizakuma emazibukweni enkangala kuze kufike ilizwi elivela kini lingazisa.”
29 Ale Zadok kple Abiata gbugbɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi dua me eye wotsi afi ma.
Ngakho uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari balibuyisela eJerusalema ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lahlala khona.
30 David zɔ mɔ si ɖo ta Amito la dzi henɔ avi fam. Etsyɔ nu ta eye wòɖe afɔ ƒuƒlu abe konyifafa ƒe dzesi ene. Eŋumewo hã tsyɔ nu ta henɔ avi fam le esime wonɔ to la liam.
Kodwa uDavida waqhubeka ekhwela iNtaba yama-Oliva, ehamba ekhala; ikhanda lakhe lalimboziwe njalo ebhadula ngezinyawo. Bonke abantu ababelaye labo bamboza amakhanda abo njalo bakhwela bekhala.
31 Esime ame aɖe gblɔ na David be eƒe aɖaŋuɖola Ahitofel dze Absalom yome la, David do gbe ɖa be, “Oo, Yehowa, meɖe kuku, na Ahitofel naɖo aɖaŋu gbegblẽ na Absalom!”
UDavida wayetshelwe ukuthi, “U-Ahithofeli uphakathi kwabahlamuki lo-Abhisalomu.” Ngakho uDavida wakhuleka wathi, “Oh, Thixo phendula ukululeka kuka-Ahithofeli kube yibuthutha.”
32 Esi woɖo teƒe si le toa tame, afi si amewo subɔa Mawu le la, David kpɔ Husai, Arkitɔ la, wònɔ elalam; eƒe awuwo vuvu le eŋu eye ke nɔ tame nɛ.
Kwathi uDavida esefikile engqongeni, lapho abantu ababejayele ukukhonzela khona uNkulunkulu, uHushayi umʼArikhi wayekhonapho ukuba amhlangabeze, isembatho sakhe sidabukile njalo elothuli ekhanda.
33 David gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne èdze yonyeme la, agba ko nànye nam.
UDavida wathi kuye, “Ungahamba lami, uzakuba ngumthwalo onzima kimi.
34 Ke ne ètrɔ yi dua me eye nègblɔ na Absalom be, ‘O fia, menye fofowò ƒe subɔla tsã, ke azɔ la, manye wò subɔla’ la, ekema àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye to Ahitofel ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo me gbegblẽ me.
Kodwa nxa ubuyela edolobheni uyekuthi ku-Abhisalomu, ‘Ngizakuba yinceku yakho, awu nkosi, ngangiyinceku kayihlo kudala, kodwa khathesi ngizakuba yinceku yakho,’ lapho-ke ungangisiza ngokufubisa izeluleko zika-Ahithofeli.
35 Nunɔla Zadok kple nunɔla Abiata manɔ afi ma kpli wò oa? Gblɔ nu sia nu si nàse le fiasã la me na wo.
Abaphristi uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari kabayikuba khonale lawe na? Batshele konke okuzwayo esigodlweni senkosi.
36 Wo viŋutsu eveawo, Ahimaaz, Zadok ƒe vi kple Yonatan, Abiata ƒe vi, le afi ma kpli wo. Gblɔ nu si nàse la na wo be woava gblɔ nam.”
Amadodana abo amabili, u-Ahimazi indodana kaZadokhi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari, akhonale kanye labo. Bathumele kimi ngakho konke okuzwayo.”
37 Ale David xɔlɔ̃ Husai trɔ yi dua me eye esi wòɖo teti ko la, Absalom hã va ɖo.
Ngakho umngane kaDavida uHushayi wafika eJerusalema khonapho u-Abhisalomu laye engena edolobheni.
