1 Rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa Daudi rĩakuhĩrĩirie rĩa gũkua-rĩ, agĩatha mũriũ Solomoni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
Kwathi isikhathi sokuthi uDavida afe sesisondele, walaya indodana yakhe uSolomoni.
2 “Rĩu ndĩ hakuhĩ gũthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩgeragwo nĩ andũ othe a thĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gĩa na hinya, wonanie atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ mũrũme ki,
Wathi, “Sengiseduze ukuyiphetha indlela yemhlabeni. Ngakho qina, zitshengisele ubudoda bakho,
3 na ũmenyagĩrĩre ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku endaga: Ũthiiage na njĩra ciake, na ũmenyagĩrĩre irĩra cia watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na maathani make, na mawatho make na maũndũ marĩa endaga, o ta ũrĩa maandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Musa, nĩgeetha ũgaacĩre maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ũrĩĩkaga na kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga,
unanzelele lokho okufunwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho: Ukuhamba endleleni yakhe, ugcine imilayo leziqondiso zakhe, imithetho yakhe kanye lezilayezelo zayo: Hamba ezindleleni zakhe, ugcine izimiso zakhe leziqondiso zakhe, imithetho yakhe lokulotshiweyo ngokoMthetho kaMosi, ukuze uphumelele kukho konke okwenzayo kanye lalapho oya khona,
4 nĩgeetha Jehova atũũrie kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa aanjĩĩrĩire, akiuga ũũ: ‘Njiaro ciaku ingĩkaamenyerera mũtũũrĩre wacio, na ithiiage irĩ na wĩhokeku mbere yakwa na ngoro ciao ciothe, na meciiria macio mothe, gwaku gũtikaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli.’
ngalokho uThixo uzagcina isithembiso sakhe kimi: ‘Nxa isizukulwane sakho sizananzelela izindlela zokuphila kwaso, njalo sizahamba ngobuqotho phambi kwami ngezinhliziyo zaso lasemoyeni waso, awuyikwehluleka uswele indoda ezahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi ko-Israyeli.’
5 “Rĩu wee mwene nĩũĩ ũrĩa Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia aanjĩkire, na ũrĩa eekire anene eerĩ a mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli, nĩo Abineri mũrũ wa Neri, na Amasa mũrũ wa Jetheri. Nĩamooragire, agĩita thakame yao hĩndĩ ya thayũ, o taarĩ hĩndĩ ya mbaara, nayo thakame ĩyo ĩkĩgĩa mũcibi-inĩ wake wa njohero, na iraatũ-inĩ cia magũrũ make.
Wena ngokwakho uyakwazi ukuthi uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wenzani kimi lekubulaweni kwabalawuli bamabutho ako-Israyeli, u-Abhineri indodana kaNeri lo-Amasa indodana kaJetha. Wababulala, wachitha igazi ngesikhathi sokuthula kwangathi kusempini, ngalokho igazi langcolisa uzwezwe okhalweni lwakhe lenyathelo ezinyaweni zakhe.
6 Ĩka ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire kũringana na ũũgĩ waku, no ndũkanareke mũtwe ũcio wake ũrĩ mbuĩ ũkinye mbĩrĩra-inĩ na thayũ. (Sheol h7585)
Yenza lokho obona kufanele kuye, kodwa ikhanda lakhe elimpunga ungavumeli lingcwatshwe ngokuthula. (Sheol h7585)
7 “No ariũ a Barizilai wa Gileadi ũmatugage wega, na ũreke matuĩke amwe a arĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga nao metha-inĩ yaku. Nĩo mandũgamĩrĩire rĩrĩa ndooragĩra mũrũ wa thoguo Abisalomu.
Kodwa ube lomusa emadodaneni kaBhazilayi weGiliyadi babengabanye balabo abazakudla kanye lawe ethaleni lakho. Bona bema kanye lami nxa ngangibalekela umfowenu u-Abhisalomu.
8 “Na ũririkane Shimei mũrũ wa Gera, ũrĩa Mũbenjamini kuuma Bahurimu, arĩ gũkũ nawe, na nĩwe wanumire na irumi ndũrũ mũthenya ũrĩa ndaathiiaga Mahanaimu. Rĩrĩa ookire kũndũnga hau Jorodani, nĩndehĩtire kũrĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndigakũũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora.’
Njalo ukhumbule ukuthi, wena ulendodana kaGera uShimeyi ongowakoBhenjamini oweBhahurimi owangithuka kabuhlungu mhla ngisiya kuMahanayimi. Wathi lapho ezongihlangabeza eJodani, ngafunga ngoThixo ngathi: ‘Angiyikukubulala ngenkemba.’
9 No rĩrĩ, tiga kuona ta atarĩ na ihĩtia. Wee ũrĩ mũndũ mũũgĩ; nĩũkamenya ũrĩa ũkaamwĩka. Ndũkanareke mũtwe ũcio wake ũrĩ mbuĩ ũgaathikwo ũtarĩ na thakame.” (Sheol h7585)
Kodwa loba kunjalo ungabonakana ukuthi umsulwa. Uyindoda elengqondo ekhaliphileyo, kumele ukwazi ozakwenza kuye. Yethula ikhanda lakhe elimpunga liye emangcwabeni ligcwele igazi.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa Itũũra inene rĩa Daudi.
Kwaba yikwedlula kukaDavida esesiya kubokhokho bakhe abafayo wayangcwatshwa eMzini kaDavida.
11 Aathamakĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna: mĩaka mũgwanja aathamakire arĩ Hebironi, nayo mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu.
Wayesebuse okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ko-Israyeli, iminyaka eyisikhombisa eHebhroni kwathi engamatshumi amathathu lemithathu eJerusalema.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa ithe Daudi, naguo wathani wake ũkĩĩhaanda, ũkĩrũma biũ.
Ngakho uSolomoni wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikayise uDavida, umbuso wakhe wagxila waqina.
13 Na rĩrĩ, Adonija mũrũ wa Hagithu, agĩthiĩ harĩ Bathisheba nyina wa Solomoni. Bathisheba akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte na thayũ?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ndooka na thayũ.”
Kwathi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, waya kuBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni. UBhathishebha wambuza wathi, “Kambe uza ngokuthula na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Ye, ngokuthula.”
14 Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ũndũ ngũkwĩra.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra.”
Waqhubekela phambili wathi, “Kukhona engifisa ukukutsho kuwe.” Wathi, “Ungatsho lokho oza ngakho.”
15 Agĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa wee ũũĩ-rĩ, ũthamaki ũyũ warĩ wakwa. Andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩ niĩ meetagĩrĩra nduĩke mũthamaki wao. No maũndũ makĩgarũrũka, naguo ũthamaki nĩũthiĩte kũrĩ mũrũ wa Baba; tondũ ũheanĩtwo kũrĩ we nĩ Jehova.
“Njengoba usazi ukuthi ubukhosi bebungobami. U-Israyeli ubekhangele ukuthi yimi inkosi yabo. Kodwa izinto seziguqukile, ubukhosi sebuthethwe ngumfowethu, ngoba yena ubuphiwe nguThixo.
16 Na rĩrĩ, ndĩ na ihooya ngwenda gũkũhooya, na ndũkarege.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “No ũrĩhooye.”
Pho khathesi ngilesicelo engiza ngaso kuwe. Ungabokwala.” Waphendula wathi, “Khuluma isikhalazo sakho.”
17 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra kũũria Mũthamaki Solomoni, nĩ ũndũ wee ndangĩkũregera, aahe Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
Yena waqhubekela phambili wathi, “Ngicelela inkosi uSolomoni anginike u-Abhishagi umShunami ukuze abe ngumkami, ngiyazi ngeke ale kuwe.”
18 Bathisheba agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega, nĩ ngũkwarĩrĩria harĩ mũthamaki.”
UBhathishebha waphendula wathi, “Yebo kambe, ngizakukhulumela ngikubike enkosini.”
19 Rĩrĩa Bathisheba aathiire kũrĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni akamũhe ũhoro wa Adonija-rĩ, mũthamaki agĩũkĩra na igũrũ akĩmũtũnga, akĩmũinamĩrĩra, na agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene. Akĩrehithĩria nyina gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nake nyina akĩmũikara guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo.
Kwathi uBhathishebha esiyakhulumela u-Adonija enkosini uSolomoni, inkosi yaphakama yamhlangabeza yamkhothamela yasihlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi. Yathi kabalethele unina isihlalo sesikhosini, unina wasehlala esandleni sayo sokudla.
20 Nake nyina akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na kaũndũ kanini ngwenda gũkũhooya, na ndũkae kũrega.” Mũthamaki akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maitũ, ũria ndikũrega.”
Unina wathi, “Ungabokwala, ngilesicelo esincane engizasethula kuwe.” Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Cela mama, angiyikukuncitsha, angikwaleli.”
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nyina akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami ahikio nĩ mũrũ wa thoguo Adonija.”
Unina wasesithi, “Yekela u-Abhishagi umShunami abe ngumfazi womfowenu u-Adonija.”
22 Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩra nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũrie Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami ahikio nĩ Adonija? Ndũkĩmũũrĩrie ũthamaki o naguo, o na ti we ũkĩrĩ mũkũrũ kũrĩ niĩ, ĩĩ-ni, ũgĩtuĩke wake, na wa Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na wa Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia!”
INkosi uSolomoni ephendula unina wathi, “Kungani ucelela u-Adonija u-Abhishagi umShunami? Kuyafanana lokuthi umcelela ubukhosi, kanti njalo yena ngokwakhe umnewethu umdala kulami kanye laku-Abhiyathari umphristi loJowabi indodana kaZeruya!”
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩhĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, akiuga ũũ: “Ngai arooherithia o na anjĩhĩre mũno, aakorwo Adonija ndekũrĩha na muoyo wake nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio orĩtie!
Ngakho inkosi uSolomoni yasifunga ngoThixo yathi: “Kungani uNkulunkulu angangijezisa mina, loba kabuhlungu kanganani, nxa u-Adonija engasahlawulanga ngokufela lesisicelo esinje!
24 Na rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, o we ũtũmĩte ngaacĩre ũthamaki-inĩ wa baba, Daudi, na agetĩkĩra nduĩke wa rũciaro rwa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o ta ũrĩa eranĩire-rĩ, Adonija no ekũũragwo ũmũthĩ!”
Khathesi-ke, ngeqiniso likaThixo ophilayo, yena kanye ongibeke wangizinzisa esihlalweni sobukhosi bukababa uDavida wangidalela indlu yesikhosini njengokuthembisa kwakhe, u-Adonija uzabulawa lamhlanje!”
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, nake agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Adonija, akĩmũũraga.
Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni yakhipha ilizwi yathuma uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lakanye wamlahla phansi u-Adonija kwahle kwaba yikufa kwakhe.
26 Mũthamaki akĩĩra Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Cooka mũgũnda-inĩ gwaku kũu Anathothu. Wee wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkua, no ndigũkũũraga rĩu, tondũ nĩwakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa Mwathani Jehova hĩndĩ ya baba Daudi, na nĩwagwatanĩire na baba moritũ-inĩ make mothe.”
Ku-Abhiyathari umphristi iNkosi yathi, “Buyela emasimini akho e-Anathothi. Kufanele ufe kodwa angiyikukubulala khathesi, ngoba wathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo Wobukhosi phambi kukababa uDavida waba kanye lobaba esebunzimeni.”
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni akĩeheria Abiatharu atige gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa Jehova, nakĩo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aarĩirie kũu Shilo, gĩkoniĩ nyũmba ya Eli, gĩkĩhinga.
Ngakho uSolomoni wasusa u-Abhiyathari esihlalweni sobuphristi bukaThixo, kwagcwaliseka lelolizwi likaThixo alikhuluma eShilo ekhuluma ngendlu ka-Eli.
28 Rĩrĩa ũhoro ũcio wakinyĩire Joabu, ũrĩa waciirĩire gwĩka ũũru marĩ na Adonija, o na gũtuĩka ndaanyiitanĩire na Abisalomu, akĩũrĩra hema-inĩ ya Jehova na akĩĩnyiitĩrĩra hĩa cia kĩgongona.
UJowabi ekuzweni lelilizwi, njengoba yena wayekade ebambene lo-Adonija engazange enze lokho lo-Abhisalomu, wabalekela ethenteni likaThixo wafika wadumela impondo ze-alithare.
29 Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩĩrwo atĩ Joabu orĩire hema-inĩ ya Jehova na aarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩgongona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, ũmũũrage!”
Inkosi uSolomoni yatshelwa ukuthi uJowabi ubalekele ethenteni likaThixo lapha afike wazisondeza e-alithareni. Ngalokho uSolomoni wathi kuBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, “Hamba uyemtshaya umbhuqe.”
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Benaia akĩingĩra hema ĩyo ya Jehova akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki oiga atĩrĩ, ‘Uma na nja!’” No Joabu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, ngũkuĩra haha.” Benaia agĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Joabu anjĩĩra ũna na ũna.”
Lakanye uBhenaya wangena ethenteni likaThixo wathi kuJowabi, “Inkosi ithi, ‘Phuma phandle!’” Kodwa yena waphendula wathi, “Angiphumi, ngizafela khonapha.” UBhenaya wayabika enkosini wathi, “Yiyonale indlela angiphendule ngayo uJowabi.”
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩatha Benaia, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩka o ũguo oiga. Mũũrage na ũmũthike, nĩgeetha niĩ na nyũmba ya baba tũthirwo nĩ ihĩtia rĩa thakame ĩrĩa yaitirwo tũhũ nĩ Joabu.
Ngalokho inkosi yathi kuBhenaya, “Yenza njengokutsho kwakhe. Umtshaye umbhuqe, uhle umngcwabe, ukuze ungigeze mina kanye lendlu kababa kulowomlandu wegazi elingelacala elachithwa nguJowabi.
32 Jehova nĩegũtũma acookererwo nĩ thakame ĩrĩa aaitire, tondũ nĩatharĩkĩire andũ eerĩ, na akĩmooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora, baba Daudi atooĩ akĩmooraga marĩ eerĩ, Abineri mũrũ wa Neri, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli, na Amasa mũrũ wa Jetheri, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Juda, nao maarĩ andũ ega na arũngĩrĩru kũmũkĩra.
UThixo uzamjezisa ngegazi alichithayo, ngoba wahlasela wabulala amadoda amabili ngenkemba ubaba inkosi uDavida engakwazi. Bobabili u-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, umlawuli wamabutho ako-Israyeli, kanye lo-Amasa indodana kaJetha, umlawuli wamabutho akoJuda, babengamadoda angcono beqotho kulaye.
33 Ihĩtia rĩu rĩa gũita thakame yao rĩrocookerera Joabu na njiaro ciake nginya tene. No kũrĩ Daudi na njiaro ciake, na nyũmba yake na ũthamaki wake, thayũ wa Jehova ũrogĩa kũrĩ o nginya tene.”
Kungani umlandu waleligazi labo ungahlala phezu kukaJowabi labenzalo yakhe kuze kube nini lanini. Kodwa inkosi uDavida lenzalo yakhe, lendlu yakhe lesihlalo sobukhosi sakhe, angathi ingehlelwa yikuthula okungapheliyo kukaThixo.”
34 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Joabu akĩmũũraga, nake agĩthikwo mũgũnda-inĩ wake kũu werũ-inĩ.
UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wakhwela wafika wamtshaya uJowabi wambulala wayangcwatshwa esiqintini sakhe enkangala.
35 Mũthamaki akĩnenehia Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada akĩmũtua mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita handũ ha Joabu, na agĩcookia Zadoku atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ithenya rĩa Abiatharu.
Inkosi yabeka uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada ukuba abe ngumlawuli webutho esikhundleni sikaJowabi kwathi esikhundleni sika-Abhiyathari yabeka uZadokhi umphristi.
36 Ningĩ mũthamaki agĩtũmana Shimei eetwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩakĩre nyũmba Jerusalemu na ũtũũre kuo, no ndũkanathiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ.
Ngakho inkosi yathi kayibizelwe uShimeyi yasisithi kuye. “Zakhele indlu eJerusalema uhlale khonale, kodwa ungayi ndawo.
37 Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoima kuo ũringe Mũkuru wa Kidironi, ũmenye wega no ũgaakua; nayo thakame yaku nĩĩgagũcookerera wee mwene.”
Mhla uzake usuke uchaphe uye eziHotsheni zeKhidironi, uhle wazi ngeqiniso ukuthi uzakufa, igazi lakho lizabizwa phezu kwakho.”
38 Shimei agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ũguo woiga nĩ wega. Ndungata yaku nĩĩgwĩka o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oiga.” Nake Shimei agĩikara Jerusalemu ihinda iraaya.
UShimeyi wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Lokho okutshoyo kuqondile. Inceku yakho izakwenza njengoba inkosi yayo itshilo.” Ngakho uShimeyi wahlala eJerusalema isikhathi eside.
39 No mĩaka ĩtatũ yathira-rĩ, ngombo igĩrĩ cia Shimei ikĩũra igĩthiĩ kwa Akishi, mũrũ wa Maaka, mũthamaki wa Gathu, nake Shimei akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Ngombo ciaku irĩ Gathu.”
Kodwa kwathi sekwedlule iminyaka emithathu, izigqili zikaShimeyi ezimbili zabalekela ku-Akhishi indodana kaMahakha, inkosi yeGathi, njalo uShimeyi watshelwa ukuthi, “Izigqili zakho ziseGathi.”
40 Kũigua ũguo-rĩ, Shimei agĩtandĩka ndigiri yake, agĩthiĩ kwa Akishi kũu Gathu gwetha ngombo ciake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shimei agĩthiĩ na agĩcookia ngombo ciake kuuma Gathu.
Ekuzwa lokhu, wethesa ubabhemi wakhe waya ku-Akhishi eGathi esiyadinga izigqili zakhe. Ngakho uShimeyi wabuya lazo izigqili zakhe evela eGathi.
41 Rĩrĩa Solomoni eerirwo atĩ Shimei nĩoimĩte Jerusalemu agathiĩ Gathu na agacooka-rĩ,
USolomoni esetsheliwe ukuthi uShimeyi wayesuke eJerusalema waya eGathi waze waphenduka,
42 mũthamaki agĩtũmanĩra Shimei, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiakwĩhĩtithirie na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova na ngĩgũkaania, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkoimagara ũthiĩ handũ hangĩ, ũmenye kũna no ũgaakua’? Nawe hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo woiga nĩ wega. Niĩ nĩngwathĩka.’
inkosi yambiza uShimeyi yathi kuye, “Angizange ngikufungise ngoThixo njalo ngakuqonqonsela ukuthi, ‘Mhla uzake usuke uye kwenye indawo uhle wazi ukuthi ngempela uzakufa na?’ Ngalesosikhathi wathi kimi, ‘Okutshoyo kuqotho. Ngizalalela.’
43 Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wage kũhingia mwĩhĩtwa waku harĩ Jehova, na wathĩkĩre watho ũrĩa ndaakũheire?”
Pho kungani ungagcinanga isifungo sakho kuThixo ulalele isiqondiso engakunika sona?”
44 Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Shimei atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ ngoro-inĩ yaku ũũru ũrĩa wothe wekire baba Daudi. Rĩu Jehova nĩegũtũma ũcookererwo nĩ ũũru waku.
Inkosi njalo yathi kuShimeyi, “Uyakwazi enhliziyweni yakho konke ukona owakwenza kubaba uDavida. Khathesi uThixo uzakujezisa ngokona kwakho.
45 No Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩekũrathimwo, nakĩo gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wa Daudi gĩtũũre gĩkĩgitĩre mbere ya Jehova nginya tene.”
Kodwa iNkosi uSolomoni izabusiswa, isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavida sizahlala siqinile ngokuzinza phambi kukaThixo kuze kube nini lanini.”
46 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩatha Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, nake agĩthiĩ akĩgũtha Shimei akĩmũũraga. Ũthamaki naguo ũkĩĩhaanda ũrũmĩte biũ moko-inĩ ma Solomoni.
Ngakho yakhupha isiqondiso kuBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, yena waphuma wafika wamnqonda uShimeyi wamlahla phansi wahle wambulala. Ngalokho ubukhosi basebusezandleni zikaSolomoni ngokugcweleyo.
