7 na Joela, na Zebadia, ariũ a Jerohamu kuuma Gedori.
kanye loJowela loZebhadiya amadodana kaJerohamu waseGedori.
8 Agadi amwe nĩmagarũrũkire magĩcooka mwena wa Daudi o kũu werũ-inĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake. Maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme ciehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara, na nĩmooĩ kũhũthĩra ngo na itimũ. Mothiũ mao maahaanaga ta mothiũ ma mĩrũũthi, na maarĩ ihenya ta thwariga irĩ irĩma-inĩ.
Abanye abakoGadi babalekela kuDavida enqabeni yakhe enkangala. Babengamabutho alezibindi, belungele ukulwa njalo bekwazi ukuphatha ihawu lomkhonto. Ubuso babo babungobezilwane, njalo belesiqubu njengamagogo ezintabeni.
9 Ezeri nĩwe warĩ mũnene wao, na Obadia aarĩ mũnini wake; nake Eliabu aarĩ wa gatatũ,
U-Ezeri wayeyinduna, u-Obhadaya engumsekeli womlawuli, u-Eliyabi engowesithathu,
10 na Mishimana aarĩ wa kana, na Jeremia aarĩ wa gatano,
uMishimana engowesine, uJeremiya engowesihlanu,
11 na Atai aarĩ wa gatandatũ, na Elieli aarĩ wa mũgwanja,

14 Agadi acio maarĩ anene a mbũtũ cia ita; ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ igana, nake ũrĩa warĩ mũnene mũno wao aarũaga mbaara ĩrĩa ĩngĩarũirwo nĩ andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
Amadoda akoGadi ayengabalawuli bamabutho, kuthi omncinyane wabo wayengamelana labalikhulu kodwa omkhulu wabo engamelana labayinkulungwane.
15 Nĩo maaringire Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mweri wa mbere rĩrĩa rwaiyũrĩte nginya rũkoina hũgũrũrũ ciaruo ciothe, na makĩingatithia andũ arĩa othe maaikaraga cianda-inĩ cia mwena wa irathĩro na mwena wa ithũĩro.
Yiwo la amadoda achapha uJodani ngenyanga yakuqala umfula ugcwele uphuphuma emakhunjini awo wonke, yibo njalo abaxotsha bonke ababehlala ezihotsheni, empumalanga kanye lasentshonalanga.
16 Andũ amwe a kuuma Benjamini na angĩ a kuuma Juda o nao magĩũka kũrĩ Daudi kũu kĩĩhitho-inĩ gĩake.
Amanye amadoda akoBhenjamini lamanye ayevela koJuda lawo alandela uDavida khonale enqabeni yakhe.
17 Daudi agĩthiĩ kũmatũnga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo mũrooka kũrĩ niĩ na thayũ kũndeithia-rĩ, nĩndĩhaarĩirie kũmwamũkĩra tũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe; no angĩkorwo mũũkĩte kũngunyanĩra kũrĩ thũ ciakwa o rĩrĩa itarenda haaro-rĩ, Ngai wa maithe maitũ arorora ũndũ ũcio na amũtuĩre ciira.”
UDavida waphuma ukuba ayewahlangabeza wathi kuwo: “Nxa lingilandela ngokuthula, lizongiphathisa njengabangane, ngizimisele ukuhlanganyela kanye lani. Kodwa nxa lidinga ukunginikela ezitheni zami, mina ngimsulwa, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho kakubone lokho, alijezise.”
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho agĩikũrũkĩra Amasai, mũnene wa arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ aku, wee Daudi! Tũrĩ hamwe nawe, wee mũrũ wa Jesii! Ũrogaacĩra, ũgaacĩre ki, na arĩa magũteithagia marogaacĩra, nĩgũkorwo Ngai waku nĩegũgũteithia.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩmaamũkĩra na akĩmatua atongoria a mbũtũ ciake cia gũtharĩkĩra thũ.
Ngakho uMoya wasesehlela ku-Amasayi, umlawuli wabangamatshumi amaThathu, wathi: “Singabakho thina, wena Davida! Sikanye lawe wena ndodana kaJese! Impumelelo, impumelelo kuwe, njalo impumelelo kulabo abaphathisana lawe! Ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uzakusiza.” Ngakho uDavida wabamukela wabenza abakhokheli bamaviyo amabutho ayehlasela.
19 Andũ amwe a Manase nĩmagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wa Daudi rĩrĩa aathiire na Afilisti kũhũũrana na Saũlũ. (Daudi na andũ ake matiateithirie Afilisti, tondũ thuutha wa kwaranĩria, aathani ao nĩmamũingatire. Maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Tũkaarĩha na mĩoyo iitũ angĩgatũtiganĩria acookerere mwathi wake Saũlũ.”)
Amanye amadoda akoManase abalekela kuDavida ekuhambeni kwakhe lamaFilistiya esiyahlasela uSawuli. (Yena kanye lamabutho akhe kasazange ancedise amaFilistiya, ngoba ngemva kokubuzisisana, ababusi bawo bathi kaxotshwe. Bathi bona: “Uyingozi kithi, ngoba angasiphendukela abuyele enkosini yakhe uSawuli.”)
20 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aathiire Zikilagi, aya nĩo andũ a Manase arĩa maagarũrũkire magĩthiĩ mwena wake: Adina, na Jozabadu, na Jediaeli, na Mikaeli, na Jozabadu, na Elihu, na Zilethai, atongoria a ikundi cia ngiri kũu Manase.
UDavida wathi esiya eZikhilagi, nanka amadoda abaleka koManase amlandela: ngu-Adina, loJozabhadi, loJediyeli, loMikhayeli, loJozabhadi, lo-Elihu kanye loZilethayi ababengabalawuli benkulungwane koManase.
21 Nĩmateithirie Daudi kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ iria ciamũtharĩkĩire, nĩgũkorwo othe maarĩ njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme, na maarĩ anene a ita ciake.
Bancedisa uDavida ekulweni lamaviyo abahlaseli, ngoba bonke babengamabutho alezibindi, njalo basebengabalawuli phakathi kwamabutho akhe.
22 Mũthenya o mũthenya andũ nĩmookaga gũteithia Daudi, o nginya akĩgĩa na mbũtũ nene, o ta mbũtũ ya Ngai.
Insuku zonke, ukusa kwamalanga, kwakutheleka abantu bezoncedisa uDavida, waze waba lebutho elikhulu, njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
23 Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa meehaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara arĩa maathiire Hebironi kũrĩ Daudi nĩgeetha magarũre ũthamaki wa Saũlũ, maũnengere Daudi, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte:
Nanka amanani amadoda ayehlomele impi eza kuDavida eHebhroni ezomncedisa ukuthatha umbuso kaSawuli, njengokutsho kukaThixo:
24 andũ a Juda arĩa meehaarĩirie kũrũa mbaara maakuĩte ngo na matimũ, maarĩ 6,800;

28 na Zadoku, mwanake mũnini warĩ njamba ya ita ĩrĩ ũrũme, ũrĩa warĩ na anene a thigari mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na eerĩ kuuma nyũmba yake;
kanye loZadokhi, ibutho elaliseselijaha lilesibindi, lilezikhulu zendlu yakwabo ezingamatshumi amabili lambili;
29 andũ a Benjamini, na nĩo maarĩ a mbarĩ ĩmwe na Saũlũ, maarĩ 3,000; aingĩ ao maatũũrĩte maathĩkagĩra nyũmba ya Saũlũ, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩyo;
amadoda akoBhenjamini, labakibo kaSawuli babezinkulungwane ezintathu, ababesele bethembekile kuSawuli kuze kufike lesisikhathi yibo ababebanengi kulelonani;
30 andũ a Efiraimu, njamba cia ita irĩ ũrũme na irĩ ngumo mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yao, maarĩ 20,800;
amadoda ako-Efrayimi, amadoda ayelezibindi, edumile ezizwaneni zawo, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili,
31 andũ a nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, arĩa maagwetetwo na marĩĩtwa nĩguo mathiĩ matue Daudi mũthamaki, maarĩ 18,000;
amadoda ayevela kungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ekhethwe ngamabizo awo ukuba azobeka uDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi, ayezinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili;
32 andũ a Isakaru, arĩa maarĩ na ũmenyo wa mahinda, na makamenya ũrĩa Isiraeli magĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka, maarĩ anene 200 arĩa maathaga andũ othe a nyũmba ciao;
amadoda ayevela ko-Isakhari, ayezwisisa umumo walesosikhathi njalo esazi ukuthi u-Israyeli kumele enzeni. Kwakuzinduna ezingamakhulu amabili kanye lezihlobo zazo ezazingaphansi kwazo;
33 andũ a Zebuluni, thigari iria ciamenyerete mbaara, na nĩmehaarĩirie kũrũa mbaara me na mĩthemba yothe ya indo cia mbaara, nĩguo mateithie Daudi marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe, nao maarĩ 50,000;
amadoda ayevela koZebhuluni, amabutho ayezingwazi empini, ngezikhali zemihlobo etshiyeneyo, eza ukuzancedisa uDavida ngokuzinikela okungalakuthandabuza, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu;
34 andũ a Nafitali maarĩ anene 1,000 hamwe na andũ 37,000 arĩa makuuĩte ngo na matimũ;
amadoda ayevela koNafithali kwakuyizikhulu eziyinkulungwane eyodwa, kanye lamadoda ayephethe amahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa;
35 andũ a Dani arĩa mehaarĩirie kũrũa mbaara, maarĩ 28,600;
amadoda ayevela koDani, ezimisele ukulwa empini, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili lamakhulu ayisithupha;
36 andũ a Asheri, thigari iria ciamenyerete mbaara na mehaarĩirie kũrũa mbaara, maarĩ 40,000;

37 na kuuma mwena wa irathĩro wa Jorodani, andũ a Rubeni, na Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, marĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya indo cia mbaara, maarĩ 120,000.
njalo ngempumalanga yeJodani, amadoda akoRubheni, koGadi lakungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ayehlome ngemihlobohlobo yezikhali, ayezinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili.
38 Acio othe maarĩ andũ a kũrũa arĩa meerutĩte gũtungata marĩ ita-inĩ. Magĩũka Hebironi marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe ya gũtua Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe. Andũ a Isiraeli arĩa angĩ othe o nao maarĩ na rĩciiria o rĩmwe rĩa gũtua Daudi mũthamaki.
Bonke laba babengamabutho azinikeleyo ukungena laloba yisiphi isigaba. Ngamabutho aya eHebhroni ezimisele ukufika abeke uDavida esihlalweni sobukhosi abe yinkosi ka-Israyeli. Abanye bonke abako-Israyeli babengqondonye befisa ukwethesa uDavida ubukhosi.
39 Andũ acio maikarire kũu na Daudi mĩthenya ĩtatũ makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, nĩgũkorwo andũ a nyũmba ciao nĩmaheanĩte irio nĩ ũndũ wao.
Wonke lamadoda athatha insuku ezintathu eloDavida, esidla njalo enatha, njengoba izimuli zawo zaziwalungisele umphako.
40 O na ningĩ andũ arĩa maatũũraga hakuhĩ nao kuuma Isakaru, na Zebuluni, na Nafitali nĩmarehire irio ikuuĩtwo nĩ ndigiri, na ngamĩĩra, na nyũmbũ, na ndegwa. Nĩ kwarehetwo mũtu mũingĩ, na ngũmba cia ngũyũ na cia thabibũ nyũmũ, na ndibei, na maguta, na ngʼombe, na ngʼondu, nĩgũkorwo kwarĩ na gĩkeno kũu Isiraeli.
Konke labomakhelwane babo, ababevela kude khonale ku-Isakhari, loZebhuluni lakuNafithali beza bethwele ukudla ngabobabhemi, amakamela, imbongolo langenkabi. Kwakulefulawa enengi, amakhekhe omkhiwane, amakhekhe erezini, iwayini, amafutha, inkomo lezimvu, ngoba kwakulokujabula ko-Israyeli.
