10 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe wao onire ũguo, akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Nĩndona Abisalomu acunjuurĩte mũtĩ-inĩ wa mũgandi.”
Mumwe wavarume akati aona izvi, akati kuna Joabhu, “Ndaona Abhusaromu akarembera mumuti womuouki.”
11 Joabu akĩĩra mũndũ ũrĩa wamwĩrire ũguo atĩrĩ, “Atĩ kĩĩ! Nĩwamuona? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiria ũmũgũthe agwe thĩ o ro hau? Nĩingĩakũhe cekeri ikũmi cia betha, na mũcibi wa mũndũ njamba.”

12 No mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “O na ingĩthimĩrwo cekeri ngiri ĩmwe njĩkĩrĩrwo guoko, ndingĩtambũrũkĩria mũrũ wa mũthamaki guoko ndĩmwĩke ũũru. Mũthamaki aagwathire wee, na Abishai, na Itai tũkĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Menyererai mwanake ũcio ũgwĩtwo Abisalomu nĩ ũndũ wakwa.’
Asi murume uyu akati, “Kunyange dai chiuru chamashekeri chakanga chayerwa mumaoko angu, handaigona kusimudzira mwanakomana wamambo ruoko rwangu kuti ndimuuraye. Mambo akakurayirai imi, Abhishai naItai isu tichizvinzwa achiti, ‘Mudzivirire jaya Abhusaromu nokuda kwangu.’
13 Na ingĩtwarĩrĩirie muoyo wakwa thĩĩna-inĩ, na tondũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ũhithagwo mũthamaki, no wĩeherie ũndiganĩrie.”
Uye kana dai ndanga ndaisa upenyu hwangu panjodzi, uye hapana chakavanzika kuna mambo, imi maizomira kure neni.”
14 Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndigũte mahinda nĩ ũndũ waku.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya matimũ matatũ, agĩthiĩ, akĩmũtheeca namo ngoro Abisalomu arĩ o muoyo hau mũtĩ-inĩ wa mũgandi-inĩ ũcio.

15 Nao andũ ikũmi arĩa maakuuagĩra Joabu indo cia mbaara makĩrigiicĩria Abisalomu, makĩmũhũũra, makĩmũũraga.
Uye vatakuri venhumbi dzokurwa nadzo dzaJoabhu gumi vakakomba Abhusaromu, vakamubaya, vakamuuraya.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu akĩhuha karumbeta, nacio mbũtũ cia ita igĩtiga gũtengʼeria andũ a Isiraeli, tondũ Joabu nĩacirũgamirie.
Ipapo Joabhu akaridza hwamanda, uye varwi vakarega kutevera vaIsraeri, nokuti Joabhu akavamisa.

Zvino Ahimaazi mwanakomana waZadhoki akati, “Regai ndimhanye neshoko kuna mambo rokuti Jehovha amurwira kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake.”
20 Joabu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee tiwe wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũtwara ũhoro ũcio ũmũthĩ. Reke ũgaatwara ũhoro ihinda rĩngĩ, no ndũgwĩka ũguo ũmũthĩ, tondũ mũrũ wa mũthamaki nĩakuĩte.”
Joabhu akati, “Hausiwe unoenda neshoko nhasi. Ungaenda hako neshoko pane dzimwe nguva, asi haufaniri kuita izvozvo nhasi, nokuti mwanakomana wamambo afa.”
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu akĩĩra Mũkushi ũmwe atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere mũthamaki ũrĩa wonete.” Mũkushi ũcio akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya Joabu na akĩhanyũka agĩthiĩ.
Ipapo Joabhu akati kumuEtiopia, “Chienda undoudza mambo zvawaona.” MuEtiopia akakotama pamberi paJoabhu uye akamhanya achibvapo.
22 Ahimaazu mũrũ wa Zadoku akĩĩra Joabu rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “O ũrĩa kũrĩtuĩka, reke nũmĩrĩre Mũkushi ũcio.” No Joabu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũkwenda gũthiĩ nĩkĩ? Wee ndũrĩ na ũhoro ũrĩa ũngĩheerwo kĩheo.”
Ahimaazi mwanakomana waZadhoki akatizve kuna Joabhu, “Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, ndapota regai ndimhanye nditevere muEtiopia.” Asi Joabhu akapindura akati, “Mwanakomana wangu, unodireiko kuenda? Hauna kana shoko richakupa mubayiro.”
23 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ũrĩa kũrĩtuĩka, nĩngwenda kũhanyũka.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩhanyũke!” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahimaazu akĩhanyũka agereire werũ-inĩ, akĩhĩtũka Mũkushi.
Iye akati, “Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, ndinoda kumhanya ini.” Saka Joabhu akati, “Mhanya!” Ipapo Ahimaazi akamhanya nomunzira yomubani akasiya muEtiopia.
24 Daudi aaikairĩte thĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩhingo kĩa na thĩinĩ na kĩa nja-rĩ, mũrangĩri agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-igũrũ agereire rũthingo-inĩ. Na rĩrĩa aacũthĩrĩirie nja, akĩona mũndũ ahanyũkĩte arĩ o wiki.
Dhavhidhi paakanga agere pakati pamasuo maviri, murindi akakwira pamusoro pedenga resuo reparusvingo. Akati atarisa kunze, akaona murume achimhanya ari oga.
25 Nake mũrangĩri agĩĩta mũthamaki na akĩmũmenyithia ũhoro ũcio. Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Akorwo arĩ wiki, akĩrĩ na ũhoro mwega.” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩkuhĩrĩria o gũkuhĩrĩria.
Murindi akadanidzira kuna mambo akamuzivisa izvozvo. Mambo akati, “Kana ari oga, anofanira kunge ane shoko rakanaka.” Uye murume akaramba achingoswedera.
26 Ningĩ mũrangĩri akĩona mũndũ ũngĩ ahanyũkĩte, agĩĩta mũrangĩri wa kĩhingo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũngĩ ahanyũkĩte arĩ o wiki!” Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “No nginya o nake akorwo ararehe ũhoro mwega.”
Ipapo murindi akaonazve mumwe murume achimhanya, akadanidzira kumutariri wesuo akati, “Tarira mumwe ari kumhanya ari oga!” Mambo akati, “Anofanira kunge achiuyawo neshoko rakanaka.”

Murindi akati, “Ndinoona sokuti wokutanga anomhanya saAhimaazi mwanakomana waZadhoki.” Mambo akati, “Munhu akanaka iyeye. Ari kuuya namashoko akanaka.”
28 Ningĩ Ahimaazu agĩĩta mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ na ũũru!” Akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya mũthamaki aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku arogoocwo! Nĩaneanĩte andũ arĩa maatambũrũkĩtie moko mookĩrĩre mũthamaki mwathi wakwa.”
Ipapo Ahimaazi akadanidzira kuna mambo achiti, “Rugare!” Akakotama pamberi pamambo akatsikitsira uso hwake pasi akati, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaarumbidzwe! Akaisa kwamuri varume vakanga vachisimudzira maoko avo kuti varwe naishe wangu mambo.”
29 Nake mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũcio ti Abisalomu arĩ o thayũ?” Nake Ahimaazu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonire kĩrigiicano kĩnene rĩrĩa Joabu ekwendaga gũtũma ndungata ya mũthamaki o na niĩ, ndungata yaku, no ndinamenya kiuma gĩa kĩĩ.”
Mambo akabvunza akati, “Ko, jaya Abhusaromu mupenyu here?” Ahimaazi akati, “Ndakaona kunyongana kukuru panguva iyo Joabhu akanga oda kutuma muranda wamambo uye neni, muranda wenyu, asi handina kuziva kuti chaiva chii.”
30 Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rũgama haha mwena-inĩ weterere.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ mwena-inĩ, akĩrũgama ho.
Mambo akati, “Mira parutivi uye usabva pano.” Saka akasudurukira parutivi ndokumirapo.
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũkushi agĩkinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, ta igua ũhoro ũyũ mwega! Jehova nĩakũhonoketie ũmũthĩ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maragũũkĩrĩire.”
Ipapo muEtiopia akasvika akati, “Ishe wangu mambo, inzwai mashoko akanaka! Jehovha akurwirai nhasi kuna vose vakakumukirai.”
32 Mũthamaki akĩũria Mũkushi atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũrĩa ti Abisalomu arĩ o thayũ?” Mũkushi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thũ ciothe cia mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, na andũ arĩa othe mangĩũkĩra makũgere ngero marotũĩka ta mwanake ũcio.”
Mambo akabvunza muEtiopia akati, “Ko, mujaya Abhusaromu mupenyu here?” MuEtiopia akapindura achiti, “Vavengi vashe wangu mambo navose vanokumukirai kuti vakukuvadzei ngavave sejaya iro.”
33 Mũthamaki akĩinaina. Akĩhaica, agĩthiĩ nyũmba ya igũrũ ya kĩhingo-inĩ, akĩrĩra. Agĩthiĩ akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi mũrũ wakwa Abisalomu! Mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa Abisalomu! Naarĩ korwo nĩ niĩ ndĩrakuire handũ haku, ũũi mũrũ wakwa, mũrũ wakwa!”
