2 Samũeli 15

1 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Abisalomu agĩĩthondekera ngaari cia ita na mbarathi, na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano a gũthiiaga mbere yake matengʼerete.

Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, Abusaalomu ne yeefunira amagaali, n’embalaasi, n’abasajja amakumi ataano okumukulemberangamu.

2 Nake ookĩraga rũciinĩ tene akarũgama mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ĩrĩa yathiiaga kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene. Na rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe ooka arĩ na mateta ma gũtwarĩra mũthamaki nĩguo atue itua-rĩ, Abisalomu akamwĩta, akamũũria atĩrĩ, “Uumĩte itũũra rĩrĩkũ?” Nake akamũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku yumĩte mũhĩrĩga-inĩ ũmwe wa Isiraeli.”

Yagolokokanga mu makya n’ayimirira ku mabbali g’ekkubo okwolekera wankaaki w’ekibuga. Omuntu yenna bwe yabanga n’ensonga gye yaleeteranga kabaka okulamula, Abusaalomu yamuyitanga n’amubuuza nti, “Oviira mu kibuga ki?” Bwe yaddangamu nti, “Omuddu wo aviira mu kimu ku bika bya Isirayiri,”

3 Ningĩ Abisalomu akamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ mateta maku nĩ ma kĩhooto na nĩ magĩrĩire, no gũtirĩ mũndũ ũthuurĩtwo wa kũrũgamĩrĩra mũthamaki ũngĩgũthikĩrĩria.”

Abusaalomu n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Laba, ensonga ntuufu era etegeerekeka, naye tewali muntu anaagikulamulira.”

4 Ningĩ Abisalomu akamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo ndaatuuo mũciiri wa bũrũri ũyũ! Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na mateta kana ciira no ooke kũrĩ niĩ, na niĩ ngatigĩrĩra ciira wake nĩwatuuo na kĩhooto.”

Ate era Abusaalomu yayongerangako ne kino nti, “Singa nnondebwa okuba omukulembeze mu nsi, olwo buli muntu alina ensonga anajjanga gye ndi, ne mukolera ku nsonga ye.”

5 Ningĩ hĩndĩ ciothe rĩrĩa mũndũ wothe amũkuhĩrĩria ainamĩrĩre mbere yake, Abisalomu agatambũrũkia guoko, akamũhĩmbĩria na akamũmumunya.

Ate era omuntu yenna eyajjanga n’amuvuunamira ng’amuwa ekitiibwa, yagololanga omukono gwe, n’amukwatako n’amunywegera ng’amulamusa.

6 Abisalomu ekaga ũguo kũrĩ andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa mookaga kũrĩ mũthamaki gũcaria kĩhooto, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩguucĩrĩria ngoro cia andũ a Isiraeli.

Bw’atyo Abusaalomu bwe yeeyisanga eri Abayisirayiri bonna abajjanga eri kabaka nga baagala okubalamulira ensonga zaabwe. Ekyavaamu n’abba emitima gy’abantu ba Isirayiri.

7 Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka ĩna yathira, Abisalomu akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ Hebironi nĩgeetha ngahingie mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa ndeehĩtire harĩ Jehova.

Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka ena, Abusaalomu n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde, nzikiriza ŋŋende e Kebbulooni, ntuukirize obweyamo bwange bwe nakola eri Mukama.

8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndungata yaku yatũũraga Geshuru kũu Suriata, nĩndehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova angĩkanjookia Jerusalemu, nĩngamũhooya ndĩ kũu Hebironi.’”

Omuweereza wo bwe yabeeranga e Gesuli mu Busuuli, nakola obweyamo nga ŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama bw’alinzizaayo e Yerusaalemi, ndisinza Mukama.’”

9 Nake mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na thayũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Abisalomu agĩthiĩ Hebironi.

Kabaka n’amuddamu nti, “Ggenda mirembe.” N’asitula n’alaga e Kebbulooni.

10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abisalomu agĩtũma andũ na hitho mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli makoige atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa mũrĩigua tũrumbeta twahuhwo, hĩndĩ ĩyo muuge atĩrĩ, ‘Abisalomu nĩwe mũthamaki wa Hebironi.’”

Abusaalomu n’atuma ababaka kyama mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, babagambe nti, “Amangwago nga muwulidde okuvuga kw’amakondeere, mwogere nti, ‘Abusaalomu ye kabaka e Kebbulooni.’”

11 Andũ magana meerĩ kuuma Jerusalemu nĩo maathiĩte hamwe na Abisalomu. Meetĩtwo marĩ ageni, na magĩthiĩ matekũmenya nĩ ũũru meekaga, matirĩ ũndũ maamenyaga ũhoro-inĩ ũcio.

Abasajja ebikumi bibiri be baawerekera Abusaalomu oluvannyuma olw’okuyitibwa ng’abagenyi, songa tebaalina kye baamanya ku nsonga eyo.

12 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Abisalomu aarutaga magongona-rĩ, agĩtũmanĩra Ahithofeli ũrĩa Mũgiloni, o ũrĩa waheaga Daudi kĩrĩra, oke kuuma itũũra rĩao rĩa Gilo. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra mũthamaki ĩkĩgĩa na hinya, nao arũmĩrĩri a Abisalomu magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũingĩha.

Mu kiseera ekyo, Abusaalomu bwe yali ng’awaayo ssaddaaka, n’atumya Akisoferi Omugiro, omuwi w’amagezi owa Dawudi, okuva mu kibuga ky’e Giro. Obujeemu ne bwongerwamu amaanyi n’abagoberezi ba Abusaalomu ne beeyongeranga obungi.

13 Na rĩrĩ, hagĩũka mũndũ ũmwe watũmĩtwo kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngoro cia andũ othe a Isiraeli irũmĩrĩire Abisalomu.”

Omubaka n’ajja n’ategeeza Dawudi nti, “Emitima gy’abantu ba Isirayiri gigoberedde Abusaalomu.”

14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akĩĩra anene ake othe arĩa aarĩ nao Jerusalemu atĩrĩ, “Ũkai! No nginya tũũre; kwaga ũguo gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũkũhonoka kũũragwo nĩ Abisalomu. No nginya tũthiĩ o ro rĩu, kana Abisalomu oke narua atũkorerere, atũhubanĩrie na atwanange, na ahũũre itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene na rũhiũ rwa njora.”

Awo Dawudi n’agamba abakungu be bonna abaali naye e Yerusaalemi nti, “Mugolokoke tudduke kubanga bwe tutaakole bwe tutyo tewaabeewo n’omu ku ffe anaawona Abusaalomu. Tuteekwa okuvaawo amangu nga bwe kisoboka, aleme okutusaangiriza wano okusaanyaawo ekibuga n’ekitala.”

15 Nao anene a mũthamaki makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩciĩhaarĩirie gwĩka ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa mũthamaki mwathi witũ angĩthuura wĩkwo.”

Abakungu ba kabaka ne bamuddamu nti, “Abaddu bo beetegefu okukola kyonna, mukama waffe kabaka ky’anaaba asazeewo.”

16 Nake mũthamaki akiumagara, arũmĩrĩirwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba yake yothe; no agĩtiga thuriya ikũmi cia kũmenyerera nyũmba ya mũthamaki.

Awo Kabaka n’asitula n’ennyumba ye yonna ne bamugoberera, naye n’alekawo abakyala be kkumi okulabirira olubiri.

17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akiumagara, arũmĩrĩirwo nĩ andũ acio othe, magĩthiĩ handũ haraaya, makĩrũgama ho.

Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaagenda naye, bwe baatambulako akabanga, ne batuuka mu kifo ekimu ewalako n’olubiri ne bayimirira awo.

18 Nao andũ ake othe makĩmũhĩtũka, hamwe na Akerethi othe, na Apelethi, na Agiti othe magana matandatũ arĩa maatwaranĩte hamwe nake kuuma Gathu, makĩhĩtũka magĩthiĩ mbere ya mũthamaki.

Abasajja be bonna ne bamukulemberamu, n’Abakeresi bonna n’Abaperesi bonna, n’Abagitti olukaaga bonna abaali bamugoberedde okuva e Gaasi ne bakumba nga bamukulembeddemu.

19 Mũthamaki akĩũria Itai ũrĩa Mũgiiti atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũthiĩ hamwe na ithuĩ? Cooka ũgaikare hamwe na Mũthamaki Abisalomu. Wee ũrĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ, mũndũ ũthaamĩte akoima bũrũri wake.

Awo kabaka n’agamba Ittayi Omugitti nti, “Lwaki otugoberera? Ddayo obeere ne kabaka Abusaalomu. Oli munnaggwanga eyagobebwa ewaabwe.

20 Ũrookire o ira. Ingĩgwĩtĩkĩria atĩa wambĩrĩrie kũũrũũra na ithuĩ, o rĩrĩa itaramenya kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ? Hũndũka, woe andũ a bũrũri wanyu ũcooke nao. Naguo ũtugi na wĩhokeku iroikara hamwe nawe.”

Wajja jjuuzi. Lwaki leero nkutambuza eno n’eri, nga ssinamanya gye ndaga? Ddayo n’abantu bo. Ekisa n’emirembe bibeerenga naawe.”

21 No Itai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, na o ta ũrĩa wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ũtũũraga muoyo-rĩ, harĩa hothe mũthamaki mwathi wakwa angĩkorwo arĩ, o na kũngĩkorwo nĩ gũtũũra muoyo kana gũkua, hau no ho ndungata yaku ĩgaakorwo ĩrĩ.”

Naye Ittayi n’addamu kabaka nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, era mukama wange kabaka nga bw’ali omulamu, buli mukama wange kabaka gy’anaagendanga, oba bulamu oba kufa, omuddu wo anaabeeranga wamu naawe.”

22 Nake Daudi akĩĩra Itai atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na mbere, ũthiĩ ũhĩtũkĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Itai ũrĩa Mũgiiti agĩthiĩ ahĩtũkĩte hamwe na andũ ake othe, na andũ a nyũmba yake arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake.

Dawudi n’agamba Ittayi nti, “Kale yitawo ogende mu maaso.” Awo Ittayi Omugitti n’abasajja be bonna n’abantu baabwe abaali naye ne bayitawo.

23 Nao andũ othe a bũrũri ũcio makĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene rĩrĩa andũ acio othe maahĩtũkaga. Mũthamaki o nake akĩringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa karũũĩ ga Kidironi, nao andũ othe magĩthiĩ merekeire werũ-inĩ.

Ab’omu byalo bonna ne bakaaba nnyo bwe baalaba abantu nga bayitawo. Kabaka naye n’asomoka akagga Kidulooni, abantu bonna ne bayitawo ne boolekera eddungu.

24 Zadoku o nake aarĩ ho, na Alawii othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake nĩo maakuuĩte ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai. Nao makĩiga ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai thĩ, nake Abiatharu akĩruta magongona nginya rĩrĩa andũ othe maarĩkirie kuuma itũũra rĩu inene.

Zadooki awamu n’Abaleevi bonna abaali awamu naye, abaasitulanga essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, baagenda ne kabaka. Essanduuko ya Katonda ne bagissa wansi, Abiyasaali naye n’ayambuka okuwaayo ssaddaaka okutuusa abantu bonna bwe baggwa mu kibuga.

25 Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Zadoku atĩrĩ, “Oya ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai ũrĩcookie itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene. Ingĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ ma Jehova-rĩ, nĩakanjookia na atũme ndĩrĩone na nyone gĩikaro gĩake rĩngĩ.

Awo kabaka n’agamba Zadooki nti, “Zzaayo essanduuko ya Katonda mu kibuga. Bwe ndiraba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama, alinkomyawo, ne ngirabako n’ekifo Mukama ky’abeeramu.

26 No angĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndikenetio nĩwe,’ hĩndĩ ĩyo niĩ nĩndĩhaarĩirie; nĩanjĩke o ũrĩa wothe angĩona kwagĩrĩire.”

Naye bw’alisalawo nti, ‘Ssiri musanyufu naawe,’ ndimweteefuteefu ankole nga bw’asiima.”

27 Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Githĩ wee ndũrĩ muoni-maũndũ? Cooka ũthiĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene na thayũ, mũrĩ na mũrũguo Ahimaazu, na Jonathani mũriũ wa Abiatharu. Wee na Abiatharu mũthiĩ na ariũ acio anyu eerĩ.

Ate era kabaka n’agamba Zadooki nti, “Toli mulabi? Ddayo mu kibuga mirembe, ne mutabani wo Akimaazi ne mutabani wa Abiyasaali, Yonasaani. Ggwe ne Abiyasaali muddeeyo ne batabani bammwe.

28 Na niĩ ngũikara njetereire mariũko-inĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũkaandehithĩria ũhoro ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa maũndũ matariĩ.”

Ndirindirira ekigambo ekiriva gye muli, we tulisomokera okulaga mu ddungu.”

29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Zadoku na Abiatharu magĩkuua ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, makĩrĩcookia Jerusalemu na magĩikara kuo.

Awo Zadooki ne Abiyasaali ne bazzaayo essanduuko ya Katonda e Yerusaalemi ne basigala eyo.

30 No Daudi agĩthiĩ na mbere kwambata kĩrĩma kĩa mĩtamaiyũ, o akĩrĩraga; nĩehumbĩrĩte mũtwe, na aarĩ magũrũ matheri. Andũ othe arĩa aarĩ nao-rĩ, o nao nĩmehumbĩrĩte mĩtwe, nao maambatire o makĩrĩraga.

Naye Dawudi n’alinnyalinnya n’alaga ku lusozi olw’Emizeeyituuni ng’akaaba, n’omutwe ng’agubisse era ng’ali mu bigere. Abantu bonna abaali awamu naye nabo baali beebisse emitwe era nga bakaaba.

31 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩamenyithĩtio atĩrĩ, “Ahithofeli aarĩ hamwe na arĩa maarĩ ndundu na Abisalomu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩhooya atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, garũra kĩrĩra kĩa Ahithofeli, ũgĩtue ũrimũ.”

Dawudi n’ategeezebwa nti, “Akisoferi ali omu ku abo abeekobaana ne Abusaalomu.” Dawudi n’asaba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda nkwegayiridde, fuula amagezi ga Akisoferi obusirusiru.”

32 Na rĩrĩa Daudi aakinyire gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma, harĩa andũ maahooyagĩra Ngai-rĩ, Hushai ũrĩa Mũariki aarĩ hau kũmũtũnga, atembũrangĩte nguo yake ndaaya, na akeitĩrĩria tĩĩri mũtwe.

Awo Dawudi bwe yatuuka ku ntikko y’olusozi, abantu gye baasinzizanga Katonda, Kusaayi Omwaluki yaliyo okumusisinkana, ekkooti ye ng’eyulise n’omutwe gwe nga gujjudde enfuufu.

33 Nake Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩkorwo nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ, ũgũtuĩka mũrigo harĩ niĩ.

Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Bw’onoogenda nange ojja kunfuukira ekizibu.

34 No ũngĩcooka itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene na wĩre Abisalomu atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũtuĩka ndungata yaku wee mũthamaki; ndĩratũire ndĩ ndungata ya thoguo mbere ĩyo, no rĩu ngũtuĩka ndungata yaku,’ hĩndĩ ĩyo no ũndeithie gũthũkia mataaro ma Ahithofeli.

Naye bw’onoddayo mu kibuga, n’ogamba Abusaalomu nti, ‘Ndibeera omuddu wo, ayi kabaka; nga bwe naweerezanga kitaawo mu biro eby’edda, bwe ntyo bwe nnaakuweerezanga,’ onooba ombedde mu nsonga ey’okulemesa Akisoferi, afuuse omuwi w’amagezi owa Abusaalomu.

35 Githĩ Zadoku na Abiatharu arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai matiigũkorwo kũu hamwe nawe? Meerage ũndũ o wothe ũngĩigua nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki.

Zadooki ne Abiyasaali tebaliiyo? Kale bategeeze ekigambo kyonna ky’onoowulira mu lubiri.

36 Ariũ ao eerĩ, Ahimaazu mũrũ wa Zadoku, na Jonathani mũrũ wa Abiatharu marĩ kũu hamwe nao. Matũmage kũrĩ niĩ na ũndũ o wothe ũngĩigua.”

Batabani baabwe ababiri, Akimaazi mutabani wa Zadooki ne Yonasaani mutabani wa Abiyasaali nabo bali eyo, era abo boonoontumiranga bwe wanaabangawo ensonga yonna.”

37 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hushai mũrata wa Daudi agĩcooka, na agĩkinya Jerusalemu o rĩrĩa Abisalomu aatoonyaga itũũra rĩu inene.

Awo Kusaayi mukwano gwa Dawudi n’atuuka e Yerusaalemi, nga Abusaalomu ayingira ekibuga.
