< Samuel 2 17 >

1 Azɔ la, Ahitofel gblɔ na Absalom be, “Na ame akpe wuievem ne míati David yome le zã sia me.
U-Ahithofeli wathi ku-Abhisalomu, “Kahle ngikhethe abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili ngiphume lamhla ebusuku ngilandela uDavida.
2 Madze edzi esi ɖeɖi te eŋu eye wògbɔdzɔ. Made vɔvɔ̃ lãme nɛ ekema eŋumewo katã asi, agblẽe ɖi. Mawu fia la ɖeɖe ko,
Ngingamhlasela esadiniwe engelamandla. Ngingamtshayisa ngovalo, bonke abantu abalaye bazabaleka. Ngingabulala inkosi kuphela

abantu bonke ngibabuyisele kuwe. Ukufa komuntu omdingayo kuzakutsho ukuphenduka kwabo bonke; bonke abantu kabayikwenziwa lutho.”
4 Absalom kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo katã lɔ̃ ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi.
Icebo leli lakhanya lilihle ku-Abhisalomu lakubo bonke abadala bako-Israyeli.
5 Ke Absalom gblɔ be, “Mina míabia Husai, Arkitɔ la, nu si wòbu tso ɖoɖo sia ŋu.”
Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wathi, “Bizani loHushayi umʼArikhi, ukuze sizwe angakutsho.”
6 Esi Husai va ɖo la, Absalom gblɔ nya si Ahitofel gblɔ la nɛ eye wòbia Husai be, “Aleke nèbu tso ɖoɖo sia ŋu? Ɖe míazɔ ɖe Ahitofel ƒe aɖaŋu nua? Ne mèda asi ɖe edzi o la, ekema gblɔ nu si nèbu be míawɔ la na mí.”
UHushayi esezile kuye, u-Abhisalomu wathi, “U-Ahithofeli usesinike iseluleko lesi. Sikwenze yini lokhu akutshoyo? Nxa kungenjalo, sinike owakho umcabango.”
7 Husai ɖo eŋu na Absalom be, “Mebu be azɔ ya la, Ahitofel da ƒu.
UHushayi waphendula u-Abhisalomu wathi, “Iseluleko osiphiwe ngu-Ahithofeli kasilunganga ngalesi isikhathi.
8 Ènya fofowò kple eƒe amewo nyuie, ènya be wonye aʋawɔla sesẽwo. Ɖewohĩ David ƒe mo nyra ɖa abe sisiblisinɔ si ƒe viwo wofi le egbɔ la ene. Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ, kpɔnuteƒee fofowò nye, ne zã do la, mamlɔ aʋawɔlawo dome o.
Uyamazi uyihlo labantu bakhe, bangamaqhawe, njalo bathukuthela okwebhele leganga lithathelwe imidlwane yalo. Langaphandle kwalokho, uyihlo liqhawe eliyaziyo impi, kabuchithi ubusuku elamabutho.
9 Ɖewohĩ ebe ɖe do alo agado aɖe me ɖa xoxo! Ne edo va dze mia dzi eye wòwu miaƒe ame aɖewo la, vɔvɔ̃ aɖo wò aʋawɔlawo eye ame sia ame ade asi ɣlidodo me be wosi aʋakɔ si kplɔ Absalom ɖo.
Lakhathesi nje, ucatshile ebhalwini loba enye indawo. Nxa yena engahlasela amabutho akho kuqala, loba ngubani ozakuzwa ngakho uzakuthi, ‘Kube lokuqothulwa phakathi kwamabutho alandela u-Abhisalomu.’
10 Ekema wò kalẽtɔwo kekeake gɔ̃ hã, nenye dzata ƒe dzie le dɔ me na wo gɔ̃ hã la, vɔvɔ̃ ana woatsi teƒe ɖeka elabena Israel blibo la nya be fofowò bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me eye eƒe asrafowo hã nye kalẽtɔwo.
Lapho-ke lebutho elilesibindi kulawo wonke, elinhliziyo yalo ifana lenhliziyo yesilwane, lizahedezela ngokwesaba ngoba u-Israyeli wonke uyakwazi ukuthi uyihlo liqhawe kanye lokuthi labo abalaye balesibindi.
11 “Nu si mebue nye be nàƒo Israel dukɔ blibo la ƒe aʋakɔ la nu ƒu tso keke Dan va se ɖe Beerseba ale be aʋakɔ gã aɖe nanɔ asiwò. Mebu hã be wò ŋutɔ nàkplɔ aʋakɔ la.
Ngakho ngiyakucebisa: Akuthi abako-Israyeli bonke, kusukela koDani kusiya eBherishebha, ngobunengi obunjengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle, babuthane kuwe, kuthi wena ngokwakho ubakhokhele empini.
12 Ekema ne mieke ɖe David ŋu la, miate ŋu atsrɔ̃ eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale be ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã masusɔ anɔ agbe o.
Lapho-ke sizamhlasela loba kungaphi lapho angaficwa khona, njalo sizakwehlela phezu kwakhe njengamazolo ewela emhlabathini. Loba yena kumbe loba bani wabantu bakhe kakho ozasala ephila.
13 Ne David si yi du aɖe me la, Israel ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la anɔ wò kpɔkplɔ te, miatsi kawo ɖe dua ƒe gliwo ŋu eye miahe gliawo ayi aɖakɔ ɖe balime si te ɖe eŋu la me va se ɖe esime kpe aɖeke maganɔ kpe dzi o.”
Angabalekela edolobheni u-Israyeli wonke uzakuza lezintambo edolobheni, silihudulele phansi esigodini kuze kungabe kusatholakala lesihletshana salo.”
14 Tete Absalom kple Israelviwo katã gblɔ be, “Husai, Arkitɔ la ƒe aɖaŋu nyo wu Ahitofel tɔ.” Esia va eme elabena Yehowa ɖo be, yeagblẽ Ahitofel ƒe aɖaŋu, si nye nyuitɔ boŋ hafi la me ale be yeahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va Absalom dzi.
U-Abhisalomu labantu bonke bako-Israyeli bathi, “Iseluleko sikaHushayi umʼArikhi singcono kulesika-Ahithofeli.” Ngoba uThixo wayeqonde ukufubisa iseluleko esilungileyo sika-Ahithofeli ukuze alethele u-Abhisalomu incithakalo.
15 Husai gblɔ na nunɔla Zadok kple Abiata bena; Ale kple ale Ahitofel ɖo aɖaŋu na Absalom kple Israel ametsitsiwo kple eya ŋutɔ tɔ na nunɔlawo.
UHushayi watshela uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari, abaphristi, wathi, “U-Ahithofeli usecebise u-Abhisalomu labadala bako-Israyeli ukuba benze ukuthi lokuthi, kodwa mina sengibacebise ukuthi benze okunje lokunje.
16 Egblɔ na wo be, “Afɔ netsɔ! Midi David enumake eye miagblɔ nɛ be, meganɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe tɔtsoƒe le zã sia me o ke boŋ ele be wòatso tɔsisi la enumake ayi gbedzi le tɔsisi la godo. Ne mewɔ alea o la, eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ la katã atsrɔ̃.”
Khathesi-ke thumelani lizwi ngokuphangisa litshele uDavida ukuthi, ‘Ngalobubusuku ungalali emazibukweni asenkangala; chaphela ngaphetsheya kungekho kuphutha, hlezi inkosi labantu bonke abalayo baminzwe.’”
17 Yonatan kple Ahimaaz nɔ En Rogel ale be amewo makpɔ wo ne woge ɖe dua me alo wodo go le dua me o. Wowɔ ɖoɖo kple nyɔnudɔla aɖe be wòayi aɖagblɔ nya si woagblɔ na David la na wo.
UJonathani lo-Ahimazi babehlala e-Eni Rogeli. Intombazana eyinceku yayizahamba iyebatshela, labo bezahamba bayetshela inkosi uDavida, ngoba babengeke bazifake engozini yokubonakala bengena edolobheni.
18 Ke esi wodzo le En Rogel yina David gbɔ la, ŋutsu aɖe kpɔ wo eye wòyi ɖagblɔe na Absalom. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, wosi yi Bahurim eye ŋutsu aɖe ɣla wo ɖe eƒe vudo me le eƒe aƒe godo.
Kodwa ijaha elithile lababona laselitshela u-Abhisalomu. Ngakho bobabili basuka masinyane baya endlini yomuntu othile eBhahurimi. Wayelomthombo egumeni lakhe, bangena kuwo.
19 Ŋutsua srɔ̃ ɖo avɔ aɖe ɖe vudo la nu eye wosia bli ɖe avɔ la dzi ale be ame aɖeke mabu be woanɔ afi ma o.
Umkakhe wathatha okokwembesa wakwendlala phezu komlomo womthombo wasehaza amabele phezu kwakho. Kakho owayesazi ulutho ngakho.
20 Esi Absalom ƒe amewo va nyɔnu la gbɔ la, wobia be, “Afi ka Ahimaaz kple Yonatan wole?” Nyɔnu la gblɔ na wo be, “Wotso tɔʋu la xoxo.” Ameawo di wo gake womekpɔ wo o, ale wotrɔ yi Yerusalem.
Abantu baka-Abhisalomu sebefike kowesifazane lowo endlini, bambuza bathi, “U-Ahimazi loJonathani bangaphi?” Owesifazane wabaphendula wathi, “Bachaphele ngaphetsheya kwesifudlana.” Abantu labo badinga kodwa kabatholanga muntu, ngakho babuyela eJerusalema.
21 Ame eveawo do le vudo la me eye woɖe abla yi Fia David gbɔ. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Afɔ netsɔ! Tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le zã sia me.” Wogblɔ ale si Ahitofel ɖo aɖaŋu na Absalom be wòalée, awui la hã nɛ.
Abantu labo sebehambile, ababili labo baphuma emthonjeni basebesiyatshela inkosi uDavida. Bathi kuyo, “Suka uchaphe umfula masinyane; u-Ahithofeli usecebise ukuthi lokuthi okubi ngawe.”
22 Ale David kple eŋumewo katã tso tɔsisi la le zã ma me eye woɖo tɔsisi la godo hafi ŋu ke.
Ngakho uDavida labantu bonke ababelaye basuka bachapha iJodani. Kwathi kusisa, engasekho owayesele engakachaphi iJodani.
23 Le ɣeyiɣi ma me la, esi Absalom do ŋukpe Ahitofel le dukɔ la ŋkume eye mexɔ eƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo o ta la, Ahitofel de eƒe tedzi dzi eye wòyi wo de. Esi wòdzra eƒe aƒe ɖo vɔ la, ede ka ve na eɖokui. Ale Ahitofel ku eye woɖii ɖe fofoa xa.
Kwathi u-Ahithofeli ebona ukuthi iseluleko sakhe sasingalandelwanga, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemi wakhe wasuka waya endlini yakhe emzini wakibo. Walungisa indlu yakhe, wasezibophela. Ngakho wafa wangcwatshwa ethuneni likayise.
24 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, David va ɖo Mahanaim. Absalom ƒo Israel dukɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòkplɔ ameawo wonɔ tɔsisi la tsom.
UDavida waya eMahanayimi, kwathi u-Abhisalomu wachapha iJodani labantu bonke bako-Israyeli.
25 Absalom na Amasa zu aʋafia ɖe Yoab teƒe. Amasa fofoe nye Itra, Ismaeltɔ eye dadae nye Abigail, Nahas ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye Yoaz dada, Zeruya nɔvinyɔnu.
U-Abhisalomu wayesebeke u-Amasa ukuba ngumlawuli webutho esikhundleni sikaJowabi. U-Amasa wayeyindodana yomuntu owayethiwa nguJetha, umʼIsrayeli owayethethe u-Abhigeli indodakazi kaNahashi udadewabo kaZeruya unakaJowabi.
26 Absalom kple Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la ƒo ƒu ɖe Gileadnyigba dzi.
Abako-Israyeli lo-Abhisalomu bamisa elizweni laseGiliyadi.
27 Esi David va ɖo Mahanaim la, Sobi, Nahas ƒe vi si tso Amon ƒe viwo ƒe Raba kple Makir, Amiel ƒe vi si tso Lo Debar kple Barzilai, Gileadtɔ la si tso Rogelun la
Kwathi uDavida esefikile eMahanayimi, uShobhi indodana kaNahashi waseRabha yama-Amoni, loMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli waseLo-Debhari, loBhazilayi umGiliyadi waseRogelimi
28 tsɔ abadzivɔwo, agbawo kple zewo vɛ. Wotsɔ lu kple ƒo, wɔ, bli tɔtɔe, ayi kple

uluju lamasi, izimvu, letshizi evela echagweni lwamankomokazi ukuba uDavida labantu bakhe badle. Ngoba bathi, “Abantu sebelambile njalo badiniwe futhi bomile enkangala.”
