Samuel 2 5
1 Emegbe la, amewo tso Israel ƒe toawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me va David gbɔ le Hebron hegblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, míenye wò ŋutilã kple ʋu.
Zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli zaya kuDavida eHebhroni zathi, “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
2 Tsã esi Saul nye fia le mia nu hã la, wòe nye ame si kplɔ Israel le eƒe aʋawɔwɔ katã me eye Yehowa gblɔ na wò be wòe akplɔ nye eƒe dukɔ, Israel eye wòe ava nye woƒe fia.”
Esikhathini esedlulayo, uSawuli eseseyinkosi yethu, wena nguwe owawukhokhela u-Israyeli emkhankasweni wakhe wezimpi. LoThixo wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uzakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo uzakuba ngumbusi wabo.’”
3 Esi Israel ƒe dumegãwo va kpe ta le Fia David gbɔ le Hebron la, ebla nu kpli wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume eye wosi ami na David heɖoe fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
Kwathi abadala bonke bako-Israyeli sebefikile enkosini uDavida eHebhroni, inkosi yenza isivumelwano labo eHebhroni phambi kukaThixo, basebegcoba uDavida ukuba abe yinkosi ko-Israyeli.
4 David xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia ƒe blaene.
UDavida waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
5 Le Hebron la, eɖu fia ɖe Yuda dzi ƒe adre kple ɣleti ade eye le Yerusalem la, eɖu fia ɖe Israel kple Yuda dzi ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃.
EHebhroni wabusa uJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa lezinyanga eziyisithupha, kwathi eJerusalema wabusa u-Israyeli wonke loJuda iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu.
6 Azɔ la, David kplɔ eƒe aʋawɔlawo yi Yerusalem be woawɔ aʋa kple Yebusitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Yerusalem. Ke Yebusitɔwo gblɔ na David be, “Màte ŋu axɔ afi sia o, ŋkuagbãtɔwo kple xɔdrɔ̃wo gɔ̃ hã axe mɔ na wò!” Wogblɔ alea elabena wobu be yewonɔ dedie.
Inkosi labantu bayo baya eJerusalema ukuyahlasela amaJebusi ayehlala khona. AmaJebusi athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha; leziphofu labaqhulayo bangakuvimba.” Acabanga athi, “UDavida angeke angene lapha.”
7 Ke David kple eƒe amewo ɖu wo dzi eye woxɔ Zion mɔ sesẽ la si woyɔna azɔ be, “David Ƒe Du.”
Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
8 David gblɔ gbe ma gbe be, “Ele be ame sia ame si aɖu Yebusitɔwo dzi la, nato tɔtsoƒe aɖo ‘xɔdrɔ̃ kple ŋkugbãtɔ mawo’ ame siwo nye David ƒe futɔwo la gbɔ.” Eya ta wogblɔna be, “‘Ŋkuagbãtɔwo kple xɔdrɔ̃wo’ mage ɖe fiasã la me o.”
Ngalolosuku uDavida wathi, “Lowo onqoba amaJebusi kuzamele asebenzise umgelo wamanzi ukuba afinyelele ‘abaqhulayo leziphofu’ labo abayizitha zikaDavida.” Yikho-nje besithi, “Iziphofu labaqhulayo” kabayikungena esigodlweni.
9 Ale David va nɔ mɔ la me hena ŋkɔe be, “David Ƒe Du.” Ekeke dua ɖe edzi tso Milo xoxoa ɖo ta du si li fifia la titina.
UDavida wasehlala enqabeni waseyibiza ngokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida. Wakha enhlangothini zonke zayo kusukela emadundulwini ayelapho kusiya phakathi.
10 Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Mawu ŋusẽkatãtɔ la nɔ kplii.
Waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla wayelaye.
11 Azɔ la, Hiram, Tiro fia dɔ dɔlawo ɖo ɖe David. Etsɔ sedatiwo, gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo kpe ɖe wo ŋuti eye wotu fiasã na David.
Ngalesosikhathi uHiramu inkosi yaseThire wathuma izithunywa kuDavida zilezigodo zemisedari lababazi bamapulanka kanye lababazi bamatshe, bakhela uDavida isigodlo.
12 Azɔ la, David nya nu si ta Yehowa ɖoe fiae eye wòna eƒe fiaɖuƒe la keke ta, eyae nye be Yehowa di be yeakɔ eƒe amenuveve ɖe Israel, eƒe dukɔ tiatia la dzi.
UDavida wakwazi ukuthi uThixo wayembekile ukuba abe yinkosi yako-Israyeli wawuphakamisa lombuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.
13 Esi David ʋu yi Hebron la, egaɖe srɔ̃ bubuwo, egaɖo ahiãvi yeyewo eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu geɖewo.
Esesukile eHebhroni uDavida wathatha abanye abafazi beceleni kanye labafazi eJerusalema, kwazalwa amanye amadodana lamadodakazi futhi.
14 Vi siwo wodzi na Fia David le Yerusalem la ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Solomo
Nanka amabizo abantwana abazalelwa khona: uShamuwa, uShobabi, uNathani, uSolomoni,
15 Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
u-Ibhari, u-Elishuwa, uNefegi, uJafiya,
16 Elisama, Eliada kple Elifelet.
u-Elishama, u-Eliyada kanye lo-Elifelethi.
17 Esi Filistitɔwo se be David zu Israel fia yeyea la, woƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu be yewoayi aɖalée. Ke David se be Filistitɔwo gbɔna eya ta wòsi yi mɔ sesẽ la me.
Kwathi amaFilistiya esezwe ukuthi uDavida wayegcotshwe ukuba yinkosi yako-Israyeli wonke aphuma ehlome ephelele esiyamdinga, kodwa uDavida wakuzwa lokho wasesehlela enqabeni.
18 Filistitɔwo va do eye wokaka ɖe Refaim balime.
AmaFilistiya ayesefikile njalo esegcwele eSigodini saseRefayi,
19 David bia Yehowa be, “Mayi aɖawɔ aʋa kpli woa? Ɖe nàtsɔ wo ade asi nama?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, yi, matsɔ wo ade asi na wò.”
ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo wathi, “Ngingayawahlasela amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela kimi na?” UThixo wamphendula wathi, “Hamba, ngoba impela amaFilistiya ngizawanikela kuwe.”
20 Ale David yi ɖawɔ aʋa kpli wo le Baal Perazim eye wòɖu wo dzi. Egblɔ be, “Yehowae ɖu wo dzi; eƒu du to nye futɔwo dome abe ale si tɔsisi gba goe ene.” Ale wona ŋkɔ teƒe la be Baal Perazim si gɔmee nye “Aƒetɔ si gba go.”
Ngakho uDavida waya eBhali Pherazimi, lapho awehlula khona. Wathi, “Njengamanzi efohla, uThixo ufohlele ezitheni zami phambi kwami.” Ngakho leyondawo yasibizwa ngokuthi yiBhali Pherazimi.
21 Filistitɔwo gblẽ woƒe legbawo ɖe anyi eye David kple eƒe amewo fɔ wo.
AmaFilistiya abaleka atshiya izithombe zawo khonapho, uDavida labantu bakhe bazithatha bahamba lazo.
22 Ke Filistitɔwo trɔ va eye wogakaka ɖe Refaim balime.
AmaFilistiya aphinda njalo abuya, agcwala eSigodini saseRefayi;
23 Esi David bia Yehowa be nu ka yeawɔ hã la, eɖo eŋu be, “Mègakpe aʋa kpli wo ŋkume kple ŋkume o, ke boŋ to wo megbe eye nàdo ɖe balsamtiawo gbɔ.
ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo, yena waphendula wathi, “Ungayi uqondile, kodwa bhoda ngemva kwawo uwahlasele maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu.
24 Ne èse gbeɖiɖi aɖe le atiawo tame abe asrafowoe le azɔli zɔm ene la, ekema nàdze wo dzi. Esiae anye dzesi na wò be Yehowa dze ŋgɔ na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo.”
Kuzakuthi lapho usizwa izisinde zabahambayo ezihlahleni zebhalisamu, uqhubeke ngokuphangisa, ngoba lokho kuzakutsho ukuthi uThixo usehambe phambi kwakho ukuyahlasela amabutho amaFilistiya.”
25 Ale David wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wòsi Filistitɔwo tso keke Gibeon va se ɖe Gezer.
Ngakho uDavida wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo, njalo amaFilistiya wawacakazela phansi umango wonke kusukela eGibhiyoni kusiya eGezeri.
