< Samuel 2 20 >
1 Seba nye yakame aɖe eye wòganye Bikri, Benyamintɔ la ƒe vi. Eku kpẽ eye wòdo ɣli be, “Migbugbɔ le David yome! Migadze eyome o, Israel ŋutsuwo, mina míadzo: menye míaƒe fiae o!”
Kwasekusenzakala ukuthi kube khona lapho umuntu kaBheliyali, obizo lakhe linguShebha indodana kaBikiri umBhenjamini; wasevuthela uphondo wathi: Kasilasabelo kuDavida, kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese; wonke umuntu emathenteni akhe, Israyeli!
2 Ke Israel ŋutsuwo katã gblẽ David ɖi eye wodze Seba, Bikri vi yome! Ke Yuda ŋutsuwo nɔ woƒe fia la ŋu eye wokplɔe tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la ŋu yi Yerusalem.
Ngakho wonke umuntu wakoIsrayeli wenyuka wasuka emva kukaDavida, elandela uShebha indodana kaBikiri; kodwa abantu bakoJuda banamathela enkosini yabo, kusukela eJordani kwaze kwaba seJerusalema.
3 Esi wòɖo eƒe fiasã me le Yerusalem la, ede se be woaɖe yeƒe ahiãvi ewo siwo yegblẽ ɖi be woakpɔ fiasã la dzi la ɖe aga, woakpɔ wo dzi le go ɖe sia ɖe me gake yemagadɔ wo gbɔ abe yeƒe ahiãviwo ene o. Ale wotrɔ zu abe ahosiwo ene va se ɖe woƒe kugbe.
UDavida wasefika endlini yakhe eJerusalema; inkosi yathatha abafazi abalitshumi, abafazi abancane, eyayibatshiye ukuze balinde indlu, yababeka endlini elindiweyo, yabanika ukudla, kodwa kayingenanga kubo. Basebevalelwa kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwabo, bephila ebufelokazini.
4 Fia la gblɔ na Amasa be wòaƒo Yuda ƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu le ŋkeke etɔ̃ me eye wòana yeanya.
Inkosi yasisithi kuAmasa: Biza abantu bakoJuda babuthane kimi ngensuku ezintathu, lawe ube khona lapha.
5 Ale Amasa yi ɖana nyanya aʋawɔlawo gake nu sia wɔwɔ xɔ wu ŋkeke etɔ̃ si wonae.
UAmasa wasehamba ukubuthanisa uJuda, kodwa waphuza phezu kwesikhathi esimisiweyo ayemmisele sona.
6 David gblɔ na Abisai be, “Azɔ Seba, Bikri vi awɔ nuvevi mí wu nu si Absalom wɔ. Netsɔ! Wò kple nye dɔlawo miti eyome hafi wòaɖo du aɖe si woɖo gli ƒo xlãe la me eye míaƒe asi magate ŋu asu edzi o.”
UDavida wasesithi kuAbishayi: Khathesi uShebha indodana kaBikiri uzasenzela okubi okwedlula uAbisalomu; wena thatha inceku zenkosi yakho, uxotshane laye, hlezi azitholele imizi ebiyelwe ngemithangala, asiphunyuke.
7 Ale Abisai kple Yoab kple ame ɖeka tso Yoab ƒe aʋawɔlawo dome kple fia la ŋutɔ ŋudzɔla dze Seba, Bikri vi la yome.
Kwasekuphuma emva kwakhe amadoda kaJowabi lamaKerethi lamaPelethi lamaqhawe wonke, basebephuma eJerusalema ukuxotshana loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
8 Esi wova ɖo agakpe gã si le Gibeon gbɔ la, wodo go Amasa. Yoab do aʋawu eye adekpui si nɔ aku me la, nɔ eƒe alidziblaka ŋu. Esi wòɖe zɔ la, eɖe adekpui la le eƒe aku me.
Sebeselitsheni elikhulu eliseGibeyoni, uAmasa weza phambi kwabo. UJowabi wayebhince isigqoko ayesigqokile, laphezu kwaso kulebhanti elilenkemba ebotshelwe ekhalweni lwakhe isesikhwameni sayo; esaqhubeka inkemba yawa.
9 Yoab te ɖe Amasa ŋu hebiae be, “Èfɔa?” Yoab ku asi Amasa ƒe ge me kple ɖusi abe ɖe wòdi be yeagbugbɔ nu nɛ ene.
UJowabi wasesithi kuAmasa: Uyaphila yini, mfowethu? UJowabi wasebamba uAmasa ngesilevu ngesandla sokunene ukuze amange.
10 Amasa mekpɔ yi ɖaɖɛ si Yoab lé kple miasi la o. Ale Yoab nyrɔ yi la ɖe dɔme nɛ flo, eƒe dɔmenuwo kaka ɖe anyigba eye wòku ɖe afi ma enumake. Yoab kple nɔvia Abisai gblẽe ɖe afi ma eye woti Seba, Bikri vi la yome.
Kodwa uAmasa wayengayinanzeleli inkemba eyayisesandleni sikaJowabi; wasemtshaya ngayo kubambo lwesihlanu, wathululela imibilini yakhe emhlabathini, kamphindanga, wafa. UJowabi loAbishayi umfowabo basebexotshana loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
11 Yoab ƒe aʋakplɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka do ɣli gblɔ na Amasa ƒe aʋawɔlawo be, “Ne miele David dzi la, ekema miva dze Yoab yome.”
Omunye wamajaha kaJowabi wema phansi kwakhe, wathi: Omthandayo uJowabi, longokaDavida, landela uJowabi.
12 Ke Amasa ƒe kukua mlɔ eƒe ʋu me le mɔa titina. Esi Yoab ƒe aʋakplɔlawo kpɔ be ameawo nɔ ƒu ƒom na ame kuku la kpɔkpɔ la, wohe ame kuku la tso mɔa dzi do ɖe gbe me eye wotsɔ awu aɖe tsyɔ edzi.
UAmasa wasegiqika egazini phakathi komgwaqo omkhulu. Lapho lowomuntu ebona ukuthi bonke abantu bayema, wamsusa uAmasa emgwaqweni omkhulu wamusa egangeni, waphosela isembatho phezu kwakhe, lapho ebona ukuthi wonke ofika ngakuye wema.
13 Esi wohe ame kuku la le mɔa dzi la, ame sia ame dze Yoab yome be yewoalé Seba, Bikri vi la.
Esesusiwe emgwaqweni omkhulu, bonke abantu badlula bamlandela uJowabi ukuze baxotshane loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
14 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Seba zɔ to Israelnyigba dzi be yeaƒo aʋakɔ aɖe nu ƒu tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe hlɔ̃, Bikri hlɔ̃ la me le Abel Bet Maka dua me.
Wasedabula kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, waya eAbeli ngitsho iBeti-Mahaka, lawo wonke amaBeri; basebebuthana bamlandela labo.
15 Esi Yoab ƒe aʋawɔlawo va ɖo la, woɖe to ɖe Seba le Abel Bet Maka, ƒu kpo ɖe dua ŋu tso anyigba yi gli la tame eye wode asi gli la gbagbã me.
Basebefika, bamgombolozela eAbeli-Beti-Mahaka; babuthelela idundulu maqondana lomuzi, lema emthangaleni; bonke abantu ababeloJowabi basebewona umduli ukuwuwisela phansi.
16 Ke nyɔnu nyanu aɖe tso dua me yɔ Yoab gblɔ nɛ be, “Va afii, na míaɖo dze.”
Kwasekumemeza owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo phakathi komuzi wathi: Zwanini, zwanini! Ake lithi kuJowabi: Sondela lapha, ukuze ngikhulume lawe.
17 Esi wòte ɖe eŋu la, nyɔnu la biae be, “Wòe nye Yoab la?” Yoab ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyee.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Ɖo to wò dɔlanyɔnu ƒe nya.” Ke Yoab be, “Mele to ɖom wò nya.”
Esesondele kuye, owesifazana wathi: Nguwe uJowabi yini? Yena wathi: Nginguye. Wasesithi kuye: Zwana amazwi encekukazi yakho. Wasesithi: Ngiyezwa.
18 Nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Wonɔ nya aɖe gblɔm tsã be, ‘Ne èdi be yeawu nyahehe aɖe nu la, ekema bia aɖaŋu le Abel,’ elabena míeɖoa aɖaŋu nyui na ame ɣe sia ɣi.
Wasekhuluma esithi: Endulo babejwayele ukukhuluma besithi: Kababuze lokubuza eAbeli; basebeqeda ngokunjalo.
19 Èle du tsitsi aɖe si me nɔlawo lɔ̃a ŋutifafa eye wowɔa nuteƒe na Israel la gbãm. Ɖe nàgblẽ nu si nye Yehowa tɔa?”
Ngingowabokuthula, owabathembekileyo bakoIsrayeli; udinga ukuchitha umuzi lonina koIsrayeli. Uginyelani ilifa leNkosi?
20 Yoab ɖo eŋu be, “Mele eme nenema kura o,
UJowabi wasephendula wathi: Kakube khatshana, kakube khatshana lami ukuthi ngiginye loba ngichithe.
21 nu si dim mele koe nye ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Seba, Bikri vi; etso Efraim ƒe tonyigba la dzi. Etso ɖe Fia David ŋu eya ta ne miatsɔe ade asi na mí la, ekema míaɖe asi le dua ŋu le ŋutifafa me.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Enyo, míada eƒe ta do ɖe mi to gli la ta.”
Udaba kalunjalo; kodwa umuntu wasentabeni yakoEfrayimi, nguShebha indodana kaBikiri ibizo lakhe, uphakamisile isandla sakhe emelene lenkosi, emelene loDavida; nikelani yena kuphela, ngizasuka emzini. Owesifazana wasesithi kuJowabi: Khangela, ikhanda lakhe lizaphoselwa kuwe ngaphezu komduli.
22 Ale nyɔnu la yi ameawo gbɔ kple eƒe aɖaŋu nyui la. Wotso ta le Seba, Bikri vi la nu eye woda eƒe ta la to gli la ta ɖo ɖe Yoab. Enumake Yoab ku kpẽ; ena ameawo dzudzɔ dua gbagbã eye wotrɔ yi fia la gbɔ le Yerusalem.
Owesifazana wasesiya ngenhlakanipho yakhe ebantwini bonke. Basebequma ikhanda likaShebha indodana kaBikiri, baliphosela kuJowabi. Wasevuthela uphondo, bahlakazeka besuka kulowomuzi, ngulowo lalowo waya emathenteni akhe. UJowabi wasebuyela eJerusalema enkosini.
23 Yoab nye aʋafia gãtɔ Israelʋakɔ la. Benaya nɔ fia la ŋu dzɔlawo, Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo nu.
Njalo uJowabi wayephezu kwebutho lonke lakoIsrayeli; loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKerethi laphezu kwamaPelethi;
24 Adoram kpɔa dɔwɔlawo dzi. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi, nye nyadzɔdzɔwo ŋlɔla,
loAdoniramu wayephezu kwezibhalwa; loJehoshafathi indodana kaAhiludi wayengumabhalane;
25 Seve nye nuŋlɔla eye Zadok kple Abiata nye nunɔlawo.
loSheva wayengumbhali; loZadoki loAbhiyatha babengabapristi;
26 Ira, Yairtɔ la nye nunɔla le David ŋutɔ ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
loIra laye umJayiri wayengumpristi kaDavida.
