< Samuel 2 6 >

1 David gaƒo ƒu ame tiatia akpe blaetɔ̃ tso Israel dukɔ blibo la me.
UDavida wabuya wabuthanisa abantu bako-Israyeli abakhethiweyo, sebebonke babezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
2 David kple eƒe ameawo katã dze mɔ tso Baala Yuda be woaɖakɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso afi ma vɛ. Woyɔa Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, ame si le Kerubi siwo le nubablaɖaka la dzi la ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe eŋu.
Yena labantu bakhe bonke baya eBhala yakoJuda ukuthi bayethatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu khonale elibizwa ngeBizo, ibizo likaThixo uSomandla, ohleziyo esihlalweni sobukhosi ephahlwe ngamakherubhi aphezu kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
3 Wokɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖe tasiaɖam yeye aɖe dzi eye wokɔe tso Abinadab ƒe aƒe si le toa ŋu la me. Ame siwo tutu tasiaɖam la woe nye Abinadab ƒe viŋutsuwo, Uza kple Ahio.
Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu balifaka phezu kwenqola entsha balisusa endlini ka-Abhinadabi eyayiseqaqeni. U-Uza lo-Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abhinadabi, babetshayela inqola entsha
4 Ahio nɔ zɔzɔm le ŋgɔ,
eyayithwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, u-Ahiyo ehamba phambi kwayo.
5 David kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la katã nɔ dzidzɔ kpɔm, nɔ ɣe ɖum kple woƒe ŋusẽ katã le Yehowa ŋkume. Wonɔ ha dzim ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo, gaviwo kple gakogoewo ŋu.
UDavida lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli benza umkhosi omkhulu wokuthokoza ngamandla abo wonke phambi kukaThixo ngokuhlabela izingoma lokutshaya amachacho, lemihubhe, lamagedla kanye lamasimbali.
6 Esi woɖo Nakon ƒe lugbɔƒe la, Uza do asi ɖa lé Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la elabena nyiawo ƒe afɔwo kli nu.
Bathi befika esizeni sikaNakhoni, u-Uza welulela isandla sakhe ebhokisini lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu walibamba ngoba inkabi zazikhubeka.
7 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu heƒoe ƒu anyi wòku enumake ɖe mabumabu nu si wòwɔ la ta, ale wòku le Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la xa.
Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ngo-Uza ngenxa yesenzo sakhe sokungahloniphi, ngakho uNkulunkulu wamtshaya njalo wahle wafela khonapho phansi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
8 David do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yehowa ŋu le nu si wòwɔ Uza la ta eye wòna ŋkɔ teƒe ma be “Perez Uza” si gɔmee nye, “Afi si wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe Uza ŋu le.” Ŋkɔ sia tsi teƒe la ŋu va se ɖe egbe.
Ngakho uDavida wathukuthela ngoba ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ku-Uza, njalo kuze kube lalamuhla indawo leyo ibizwa ngokuthi yiPherezi Uza.
9 David vɔ̃ Mawu eye wòbia be “Aleke Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ava aƒee?”
UDavida wamesaba uThixo ngalolosuku, wathi, “Pho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lingeza njani kimi?”
10 Nu sia na David ɖo ta me be yemakɔe ayi eɖokui gbɔ le David ƒe Du la me o, eya ta ekɔe yi ɖada ɖe Obed Edom, ame si tso Git la ƒe aƒe me.
Wayengasafuni ukuthatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, ukuba libe kuye eDolobheni likaDavida. Esikhundleni salokho, waliphambulela endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi umGithi.
11 Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la nɔ afi ma ɣleti etɔ̃ eye Yehowa yra Obed Edom kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã.
Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lahlala endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi umGithi okwezinyanga ezintathu, uThixo wambusisa kanye lendlu yakhe yonke.
12 Esi Fia David se nya sia be, “Yehowa yra Obed Edom ƒe aƒe kple nu siwo katã le esi le Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la ta” la, David yi ɖakɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la kple aseyetsotso.
Inkosi uDavida watshelwa kwathiwa, “UThixo useyibusisile indlu ka-Obhedi-Edomi lakho konke alakho ngenxa yebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.” Ngakho uDavida wahamba wayathatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi walisa eDolobheni likaDavida ngokuthokoza.
13 Ne ame siwo kɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖe afɔ zi ade la, wotɔna, lalana eye David tsɔa nyitsu ɖeka kple alẽvi dami ɖeka saa vɔe.
Kwakusithi labo ababethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo bangahamba izinyathelo eziyisithupha, anikele umhlatshelo wenkunzi lethole elinonisiweyo.
14 David ɖu ɣe kple eƒe ŋusẽ katã le Yehowa ŋkume le esime wòdo awu ʋlaya si wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi.
UDavida wayegqoke isigqoko samahlombe selineni, wagida phambi kukaThixo ngamandla akhe wonke,
15 Ale Israel kɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va aƒee kple aseyetsotso kple kpẽkuku geɖe.
lapho yena kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli beletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo ngokumemeza langokukhala kwamacilongo.
16 Esi Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va ɖo David ƒe du la me la, Mixal, Saul ƒe vinyɔnu kpɔ Fia David to fesre to wònɔ kpo tim, nɔ ɣe ɖum le Yehowa ŋkume eye Mixal ɖu fewu le David ŋu le eƒe dzime.
Kwathi lapho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo selingena eDolobheni likaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wayebukele elunguze ngefasitela. Wathi ebona inkosi uDavida eseqa egida phambi kukaThixo, wameyisa enhliziyweni yakhe.
17 Wokɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la da ɖe agbadɔ si David tu nɛ me eye David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ na Yehowa.
Baliletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo balibeka endaweni yalo phakathi kwethente uDavida ayelimisele lona, njalo uDavida wenza umhlatshelo weminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano phambi kukaThixo.
18 Esi David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ vɔ la, eyra ameawo le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me
Eseqedile umhlatshelo weminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano wabusisa abantu ngebizo likaThixo uSomandla.
19 eye wòtsɔ abolo ɖeka, lãkɔ kple waintsetsebolo na ame sia ame le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la dome, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa. Ale ame sia ame trɔ yi aƒe me.
Umuntu ngamunye phakathi kwexuku lonke lako-Israyeli, abesilisa labesifazane, wamnika isinkwa, lekhekhe lezithelo kanye lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo. Abantu bonke baya emizini yabo.
20 David hã yi eƒe aƒe me eye wòyra eƒe aƒemetɔwo. Mixal va do goe eye wògblɔ na David fewuɖutɔe be, “Israel fia la de bubu gã aɖe ŋutɔ eɖokui ŋu egbe! Eɖe eɖokui fia nyɔnuviwo le ablɔ dzi abe yakame gbɔlo aɖe ene!”
Kwathi uDavida esebuyele ekhaya ukuba abusise abendlu yakhe, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli waphuma wamhlangabeza, wasesithi, “Yeka ukuzibonakalisa inkosi yako-Israyeli ekwenzileyo lamhla ihlubula phambi kwezigqilikazi zezinceku zayo njengokungenziwa lilema!”
21 David ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa, ame si tiam ɖe fofowò kple eƒe ƒome la teƒe eye wòɖom kplɔlae ɖe Israel, Yehowa ƒe amewo, nu la ŋkumee meɖu ɣe le! Eya ta mele klalo be mawɔ nu abe abunɛtɔ ene ale be maɖe nye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ le Yehowa me afia.
UDavida wathi kuMikhali, “Kade kuphambi kukaThixo, owangikhetha phambi kukayihlo laphambi kwendlu yakhe yonke, wangimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi ko-Israyeli bantu bakaThixo, isibili ngizathokoza phambi kukaThixo.
22 Ɛ̃, melɔ̃ be magawɔ ɖokuinye abunɛtɔ gã aɖe wu esia gɔ̃ hã, ke nyɔnuvi siwo ŋu nèƒo nu le la agade bubu ŋunye wu esia.”
Ngizakweyiseka kakhulu kulalokhu, njalo ngehliselwe phansi emehlweni ami. Kodwa izigqilikazi lezi okhulume ngazo zizangihlonipha.”
23 Ale Mixal tsi ko le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli kabanga lomntwana waze wafa.
