2 Samũeli 4
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ishi-Boshethu mũrũ wa Saũlũ aaiguire atĩ Abineri nĩakuĩrĩire kũu Hebironi-rĩ, akĩũrwo nĩ hinya, nao andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩmaka.
Lapho isizwile indodana kaSawuli ukuthi uAbhineri ufele eHebroni, izandla zakhe zaba buthakathaka, loIsrayeli wonke wakhathazeka.
2 Nake mũrũ wa Saũlũ aarĩ na andũ eerĩ arĩa maarĩ atongoria a ikundi cia gũtharĩkanĩra. Ũmwe eetagwo Baana na ũcio ũngĩ Rekabu; maarĩ ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini; Beerothu gũtaragwo ta gĩcunjĩ kĩa Benjamini,
Njalo indodana kaSawuli yayilamadoda amabili ayeyizinduna zamaviyo; ibizo lenye lalinguBahana, lebizo lenye linguRekabi, amadodana kaRimoni, umBherothi, wabantwana bakoBhenjamini. Ngoba iBherothi layo yayibalelwa koBhenjamini;
3 tondũ andũ a Beerothu nĩmoorĩire Gitaimu na matũũrĩte kuo ta andũ a kũngĩ nginyagia ũmũthĩ.
lamaBherothi abalekela eGithayimi, aba ngabahlali njengabezizwe khona kuze kube lamuhla.
4 (Jonathani mũrũ wa Saũlũ aarĩ na mũriũ wonjete magũrũ meerĩ. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ĩtano rĩrĩa ũhoro wa Saũlũ na Jonathani wamakinyĩire kuuma Jezireeli. Nake mũreri wake akĩmũkuua, akĩũra; no rĩrĩa aahiũhĩte akĩũra-rĩ, mwana ũcio akĩgũa agĩtuĩka kĩonje. Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩarĩ Mefiboshethu.)
UJonathani indodana kaSawuli wayelendodana eyayiyisilima enyaweni. Yayileminyaka emihlanu ekufikeni kombiko ngoSawuli loJonathani uvela eJizereyeli; lomlizane wayo wayithatha, wabaleka; kwasekusithi ekuphangiseni kwakhe ukubaleka, yawa yaba yisilima. Lebizo layo lalinguMefiboshethi.
5 Nake Rekabu na Baana, ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi, magĩthiĩ marorete nyũmba-inĩ ya Ishi-Boshethu, na magĩkinya kuo rĩrĩa gũkoragwo kũrĩ ũrugarĩ mũthenya, rĩrĩa aahurũkĩte mĩaraho.
Lamadodana kaRimoni, umBherothi, uRekabi loBahana, ahamba, ekutshiseni kwelanga afika endlini kaIshiboshethi, owayelele embhedeni emini enkulu.
6 Nao makĩingĩra nyũmba ya thĩinĩ metuĩte ta meendaga gũkuua ngano, makĩmũtheeca nda. Nake Rekabu na mũrũ wa nyina Baana makĩũra.
Bona bangena endlini phakathi kungathi bathatha ingqoloyi, bamtshaya kubambo lwesihlanu; uRekabi loBahana umfowabo basebebaleka.
7 Maingĩrire nyũmba hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakomete gĩtanda-inĩ nyũmba yake ya toro. Maarĩkia kũmũtheeca na kũmũũraga, magĩtinia mũtwe wake. Makĩũkuua, magĩthiĩ ũtukũ wothe magerete njĩra ya Araba.
Ngoba bengena endlini, wayelele embhedeni wakhe endlini yakhe yokulala, bamtshaya, bambulala, bamquma ikhanda; bathatha ikhanda lakhe, bahamba ngendlela yamagceke ubusuku bonke.
8 Magĩtwarĩra Daudi mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu kũu Hebironi, makĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ũyũ mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu mũrũ wa Saũlũ, thũ yaku, ũrĩa wageragia gũkũũraga. Ũmũthĩ nĩguo Jehova arĩhĩria mwathi wakwa mũthamaki gwĩ Saũlũ na rũciaro rwake.”
Basebelisa ikhanda likaIshiboshethi kuDavida eHebroni. Bathi enkosini: Khangela, ikhanda likaIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, isitha sakho ebesidinga impilo yakho; iNkosi inike impindiselo lamuhla enkosini yami, inkosi, kuSawuli lakuyo inzalo yakhe.
9 Nake Daudi agĩcookeria Rekabu na Baana, mũrũ wa nyina, ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa ũhonoketie kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mothe,
Kodwa uDavida wabaphendula uRekabi loBahana umfowabo, amadodana kaRimoni umBherothi, wathi kubo: Kuphila kukaJehova, ohlenge umphefumulo wami kuyo yonke inhlupheko,
10 rĩrĩa mũndũ aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Saũlũ nĩakuĩte’, agĩĩciiria atĩ nĩ ũhoro mwega andehera, ndamũnyiitire ngĩmũũragĩra kũu Zikilagi. Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩheo kĩrĩa ndamũheire nĩ ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo yake!
lapho owangibikelayo esithi: Khangela, uSawuli ufile; njalo enjengomthwali wendaba ezinhle emehlweni akhe, ngamxhakalaza, ngambulala eZikilagi, kulokuthi ngimvuzele indaba ezinhle.
11 Akĩrĩ makĩria atĩa, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ aaganu moragĩte mũndũ ũtarĩ na ihĩtia thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake akomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake, githĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtia thakame yake kuuma moko-inĩ manyu na ndĩmweherie muume thĩ!”
Pho kangakanani, lapho abantu ababi bebulele umuntu olungileyo endlini yakhe esembhedeni wakhe; ngakho-ke angiyikubiza yini igazi lakhe esandleni senu, ngilisuse emhlabeni?
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩatha andũ ake, nao makĩmooraga. Makĩmatinia moko na magũrũ, na magĩcuuria mĩĩrĩ yao hau karia-inĩ kũu Hebironi. No rĩrĩ, makĩoya mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu na makĩũthika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya Abineri kũu Hebironi.
UDavida waselaya amajaha, ababulala, aquma izandla zabo lenyawo zabo, abaphanyeka echibini leHebroni. Kodwa athatha ikhanda likaIshiboshethi, alingcwaba engcwabeni likaAbhineri eHebroni.
