I Na Lii 2

1 HOOKOKOKE mai la hoi na la o Davida e make ai; a kauoha mai la oia ia Solomona i kana keiki, i mai la,

Insuku zikaDavida zokuthi afe zasezisondela, waselaya uSolomoni indodana yakhe esithi:

2 Ke hele nei au i ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau: e hooikaika oe, a e hookanaka hoi;

Sengihamba indlela yomhlaba wonke. Ngakho qina, ube yindoda,

3 A e malama oe i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, e hele ma kona mau aoao, me ka malama i kona mau kapu, a me kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo me ia i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai ia Mose, i pomaikai oe ma na mea a pau au e hana aku ai, a i na wahi a pau e huli ae ai oe:

ugcine imfanelo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuhamba ngezindlela zayo, ukugcina izimiso zayo, imithetho yayo, lezahlulelo zayo, lobufakazi bayo, njengokubhaliweyo emlayweni kaMozisi, ukuze uphumelele kukho konke okwenzayo, laloba ngaphi lapho ophendukela khona,

4 I hooko iho ai o Iehova i kana olelo ana i olelo mai ai no'u, i ka i ana mai, Ina e malama kau mau keiki i ko lakou aoao, e hele imua o'u me ka oiaio, me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, aole oe e nele i ke kanaka ole (wahi ana) e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.

ukuze iNkosi iqinise ilizwi layo eyalikhuluma mayelana lami isithi: Uba amadodana akho eqaphelisa indlela yawo, ukuhamba ngobuqotho phambi kwami ngenhliziyo yonke yawo langomphefumulo wonke wawo, (isithi) kakuyikusweleka kuwe indoda esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli.

5 A ua ike no hoi oe i ka mea a Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia i hana mai ai ia'u, a me ka mea ana i hana'ku ai i na luna elua o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, a ia Amasa ke keiki a Ietera; ua pepehi oia ia laua, a ua hookahe oia i ke koko o ke kaua i ka wa maluhia, ua kau hoi oia i ke koko o ke kaua ma kona kaei i kaeiia'i kona puhaka, a ma kona mau kamaa i hookomoia'i kona mau wawae.

Futhi-ke wena uyakwazi ukuthi uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wenzani kimi, ukuthi wenzani kuzinduna ezimbili zamabutho akoIsrayeli, kuAbhineri indodana kaNeri, lakuAmasa indodana kaJetheri, owababulala wachitha igazi lempi ekuthuleni, wafaka igazi lempi ebhantini lakhe elalisekhalweni lwakhe lemanyathelweni asenyaweni zakhe.

6 Nolaila e hana oe mamuli o kou akamai, i ole ai e iho maluhia kona poohina i ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)

Ngakho yenza njengenhlakanipho yakho, ungayekeli ikhanda lakhe elilezimvu lehlele engcwabeni ngokuthula. (Sheol h7585)

7 Aka, e lokomaikai aku oe i na keiki a Barezilai no Gileada, o lakou kekahi o ka poe e ai ana ma kou papaaina; no ka mea, pela lakou i hele mai ai ia'u i ko'u hee ana imua o Abesaloma kou hoahanau.

Kodwa kumadodana kaBarizilayi umGileyadi wenze umusa, njalo kawabe phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho, ngoba ngokunjalo asondela kimi ekubalekeleni kwami ubuso bukaAbisalomu umfowenu.

8 Aia hoi me oe o Simei ke keiki a Gera ka Beniamina no Bahurima, ua hoino wale mai oia ia'u me ka olelo hoino loa i ka la i hele aku ai au i Mahanaima; aka, ua hele ae ia e halawai me au ma Ioredane, a hoohiki aku la au nona, ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Aole au e pepehi aku ia oe me ka pahikaua.

Futhi khangela, kukhona kuwe uShimeyi indodana kaGera umBhenjamini weBahurimi, owangithuka ngesethuko esibuhlungu mhla ngisiya eMahanayimi; kodwa wehla ukungihlangabeza eJordani, ngasengifunga kuye ngeNkosi ngathi: Kangiyikukubulala ngenkemba.

9 Ano hoi, mai hoapono oe ia ia, no ka mea, he kanaka naauao no oe, a ua ike oe i kau mea e pono ai ke hana aku ia ia; aka, e hooiho oe i kona poohina ilalo i ka luakupapau me ke koko. (Sheol h7585)

Ngakho-ke ungamyekeli abe ngongelacala, ngoba ungumuntu ohlakaniphileyo, ngoba uyakwazi ozakwenza kuye, njalo uzakwehlisela ikhanda lakhe eliyimpunga lilegazi engcwabeni. (Sheol h7585)

10 Alaila hiamoe iho la o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.

UDavida waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa emzini kaDavida.

11 A o na la i alii ai o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela he kanaha mau makahiki ia; ma Heberona i alii ai oia i na makahiki ehiku, a ma Ierusalema i alii ai oia i na makahiki he kanakolukumamakolu.

Njalo insuku uDavida abusa ngazo phezu kukaIsrayeli zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amane; eHebroni wabusa iminyaka eyisikhombisa, leJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu.

12 Alaila noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a ua hooku paa loa ia kona aupuni.

USolomoni wasehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida uyise, lombuso wakhe waqiniswa kakhulu.

13 Alaila hele mai la o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita io Bateseba la ka makuwahine o Solomona. Ninau aku la oia, Ua hele mai nei anei oe me ke aloha? I mai la ia, Me ke aloha.

UAdonija indodana kaHagithi wasesiza kuBathisheba unina kaSolomoni; wasesithi: Ukuza kwakho kuyikuthula yini? Wasesithi: Ukuthula.

14 A olelo mai la hoi ia, He wahi manao ka'u e olelo aku ai ia oe. A i aku la kela, E olelo mai.

Wathi: Ngilelizwi kuwe. Wasesithi: Khuluma.

15 Olelo mai la ia, Ua ike no oe, ia'u no ke aupuni, a ua kau na maka o ka Iseraela a pau ia'u i alii ae au; aka, ua hoohuliia ke aupuni, a ua lilo ae nei i ko'u hoahanau: no ka mea, nona no ia, mai Iehova mai.

Wasesithi: Wena uyakwazi ukuthi umbuso wawungowami, lokuthi uIsrayeli wonke babebeke ubuso babo kimi ukuthi ngizabusa; kodwa umbuso waphendulwa, waba ngowomfowethu, ngoba waba ngowakhe uvela eNkosini.

16 Ano la hoi, hookahi mea a'u e noi ai ia oe, mai hoole mai oe ia'u. I aku la oia ia ia, E olelo mai no.

Khathesi-ke, ngicela isicelo esisodwa kuwe, ungafulathelisi ubuso bami. Wasesithi kuye: Khuluma.

17 I mai la hoi oia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e olelo oe ia Solomona ke alii, (no ka mea aole oia e hoole ia oe, ) e haawi mai oia ia Abisaga no Sunama ia'u i wahine.

Wasesithi: Ake ukhulume loSolomoni inkosi (ngoba kayikufulathelisa ubuso bakho) ukuthi anginike uAbishagi umShunami abe ngumkami.

18 I aku la o Bateseba, He pono, e olelo aku no wau i ke alii, nou.

UBathisheba wasesithi: Kulungile; mina ngizakukhulumela enkosini.

19 Hele aku la o Bateseba i ke alii ia Solomona, e i aku ia ia no Adoniia. Ku ae la hoi ke alii iluna e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la ia ia, a noho iho la ma kona nohoalii, a ua hoonoho iho i ka noho no ka makuwahine o ke alii; a noho iho oia ma kona lima akau.

Ngakho uBathisheba wasesiya enkosini uSolomoni ukukhulumela uAdonija kuyo. Inkosi yasisukuma ukumhlangabeza, yakhothama kuye, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yathi kubekelwe unina wenkosi isihlalo sobukhosi; wasehlala ngakwesokunene sayo.

20 Alaila i ae la ia, Hookahi mea iki ka'u e noi aku ai ia oe; mai hoole mai oe ia'u. A olelo ae la ke alii ia ia, E olelo mai no oe, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, aole au e hoole aku ia oe.

Wasesithi: Ngicela isicelo esisodwa esincinyane kuwe, ungafulathelisi ubuso bami. Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Cela, mama, ngoba kangiyikufulathelisa ubuso bakho.

21 I ae la kela, E haawiia'ku o Abisaga no Sunama ia Adoniia kou hoahanau i wahine.

Wasesithi: UAbishagi umShunami kanikwe uAdonija umfowenu abe ngumkakhe.

22 Olelo ae la ke alii Solomona, i ae la i kona makuwahine, No ke aha la oe i noi mai nei ia Abisaga no Sunama na Adoniia? E noi mai oe i ke aupuni kekahi nona, no ka mea, o ko'u kaikuaana no ia, nona hoi, a no Abiatara ke kahuna, a no Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia.

Inkosi uSolomoni yasiphendula yathi kunina: Usumcelelelani uAdonija uAbishagi umShunami? Umcelele lombuso, ngoba ungumfowethu omdala kulami, yebo yena loAbhiyatha umpristi loJowabi indodana kaZeruya.

23 Alaila hoohiki Solomona ke alii ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Me ia e hana mai ai ke Akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke olelo ku e ole o Adoniia i keia olelo i kona ola iho.

Inkosi uSolomoni yasifunga ngeNkosi isithi: Kenze njalo uNkulunkulu kimi lokunjalo engezelele, uba uAdonija engakhulumanga lelilizwi emelene lempilo yakhe.

24 Ano hoi, me ke ola ana o Iehova, ka mea nana i hooku paa mai ia'u, a i hoonoho ia'u ma ka nohoalii o Davida ko'u makuakane, ka mea nana i hana i hale no'u, e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai, e make no o Adoniia i keia la.

Ngakho-ke, kuphila kukaJehova ongimisileyo wangibeka esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida ubaba, wangenzela indlu njengokukhuluma kwakhe, isibili lamuhla uAdonija uzabulawa.

25 Kena ae la o Solomona ke alii ma ka lima o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada; lele aku la oia ia ia a make ia.

Inkosi uSolomoni yasithuma ngesandla sikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, owamsukelayo, wasesifa.

26 A olelo mai la ke alii ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E hele aku oe i Anatota, i kau mau mahinaai ponoi; no ka mea, he pono ke make oe: aka, aole au e pepehi aku ia oe i keia mau la, no ka mea, ua hali oe i ka pahuberita o ka Haku Iehova imua o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ua hookaumahaia oe i na mea a pau i hookaumahaia'i ko'u makuakane.

LakuAbhiyatha umpristi inkosi yathi: Yana eAnathothi emasimini akho, ngoba ungumuntu wokufa; kodwa lamuhla kangiyikukubulala ngoba wawuthwala umtshokotsho weNkosi uJehova phambi kukaDavida ubaba, langoba wahlupheka kukho konke ubaba ahlupheka ngakho.

27 Pela i kipaku aku ai o Solomona ia Abiatara mai kona kahuna ana no Iehova, i hooko i ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ai no ka ohana a Eli ma Silo.

Ngakho uSolomoni wamxotsha uAbhiyatha ekubeni ngumpristi weNkosi, ukugcwalisa ilizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma mayelana lendlu kaEli eShilo.

28 Alaila hiki ae la ka olelo ia Ioaba; no ka mea, ua huli ae o Ioaba mamuli o Adoniia aole nae ia i huli mamuli o Abesaloma: a holo aku la o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.

Kwathi umbiko ufika kuJowabi, ngoba uJowabi wayephenduke walandela uAdonija lanxa wayengaphendukanga walandela uAbisalomu, uJowabi wabalekela ethenteni leNkosi, wabamba impondo zelathi.

29 A ua haiia'ku i ke alii ia Solomona, Ua holo aku o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, aia hoi ia ma ke kuahu. Alaila kena ae la o Solomona ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, i ae la, E hele oe e lele aku ia ia.

Kwasekubikelwa inkosi uSolomoni ukuthi uJowabi usebalekele ethenteni leNkosi, khangela-ke, useceleni kwelathi. USolomoni wasethuma uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada esithi: Hamba umsukele.

30 A hele aku la o Benaia i ka halelewa o Iehova, i aku la ia ia, Ke i mai nei ke alii, E hele mai oe. I mai kela, Aole, aka, maanei au e make ai. A hoi hoike o Benaia i ke alii, i aku la, Pela i olelo mai ai o Ioaba, a pela i hoike mai ai oia ia'u.

Ngakho uBhenaya waya ethenteni leNkosi, wathi kuye: Itsho njalo inkosi: Phuma! Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, kodwa ngizafela lapha. UBhenaya wasebuyisela ilizwi enkosini, esithi: Utsho njalo uJowabi, ungiphendule njalo.

31 A i mai la ke alii ia ia, E hana aku oe e like me kana i olelo mai ai, e lele aku ia ia a e kanu ia ia, i lawe aku oe i ke koko hala ole a Ioaba i hookahe ai, mai o'u aku nei, a mai ka ohana aku a ko'u makuakane.

Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Yenza njengokutsho kwakhe, umsukele, umngcwabe; ukuze ususe kimi lendlini kababa igazi elingelacala uJowabi alichithayo.

32 A e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kona koko maluna o ke poo ona, o ka mea i lele aku i na kanaka elua ua oi aku ko laua pono me ko laua maikai mamua o kona, a pepehi aku la ia laua me ka pahikaua, me ka ike ole o Davida ko'u makuakane, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, a me Amasa ke keiki a Ietera ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iuda.

Njalo iNkosi izabuyisela igazi lakhe ekhanda lakhe, owasukela amadoda amabili ayelungile engcono kulaye, wawabulala ngenkemba, ubaba uDavida engazi: UAbhineri indodana kaNeri induna yebutho lakoIsrayeli, loAmasa indodana kaJetheri induna yebutho lakoJuda.

33 Nolaila e hoi ae ko laua koko maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, a maluna o kana mau keiki a mau aku; aka, maluna o Davida a me kana mau keiki, a me kana ohana, a me kona nohoalii, e kau mau loa'i ka pomaikai mai ka Haku mai.

Ngakho igazi labo lizabuyela ekhanda likaJowabi lekhanda lenzalo yakhe kuze kube nininini; kodwa kuDavida lenzalweni yakhe, lendlini yakhe, lembusweni wakhe, kuzakuba lokuthula kuze kube nininini okuvela eNkosini.

34 Hele aku la hoi o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, lele aku la ia ia, a pepehi aku ia ia; a ua kanuia oia iloko o kona hale i ka waonahele.

UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wasesenyuka, wamsukela wambulala; wasengcwatshelwa endlini yakhe enkangala.

35 A hoonoho ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, iloko o kona wahi maluna o ka poe koa, a hookomo ae la ke alii ia Zadoka i ka hakahaka o Abiatara.

Inkosi yasibeka uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada esikhundleni sakhe phezu kwebutho, loZadoki umpristi inkosi yambeka esikhundleni sikaAbhiyatha.

36 Hoouna ae la ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, E kukulu oe i hale nou ma Ierusalema, a malaila e noho ai, mai hele aku oe mai ia wahi aku.

Inkosi yasithuma yabiza uShimeyi, yathi kuye: Zakhele indlu eJerusalema, uhlale khona, ungaphumi lapho uye ngaphi langaphi.

37 No ka mea, eia, i kou la e puka aku ai maluna o ke kahawai Kederona, e ike oe he oiaio no e make io no oe, a maluna o kou poo iho kou koko.

Ngoba kuzakuthi mhla uphumayo, uchaphe isifula iKidroni, yazi lokwazi ukuthi uzakufa lokufa; igazi lakho lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakho.

38 Olelo aku la hoi o Simei i ke alii, he pono ka olelo; a e like me ka olelo a kuu haku ke alii, pela no e hana aku ai kau kauwa. A noho iho la o Simei ma Ierusalema i na la he nui.

UShimeyi wasesithi enkosini: Lelolizwi lihle; njengokutsho kwenkosi yami, inkosi, inceku yakho izakwenza njalo. UShimeyi wasehlala eJerusalema insuku ezinengi.

39 Eia kekahi, i ka pau ana o na makahiki ekolu, holo malu aku la elua o na kauwa a Simei ia Akisa ke keiki a Maaka ke alii o Gata: a olelo mai la lakou ia Simei, i mai la, Aia kau mau kauwa ma Gata.

Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu inceku ezimbili zikaShimeyi zabalekela kuAkishi indodana kaMahaka inkosi yeGathi. Basebebikela uShimeyi besithi: Khangela, inceku zakho ziseGathi.

40 Ku ae la hoi o Simei, a kau aku la i ka noholio maluna o kona hoki a holo aku la i Gata, ia Akisa e imi ana i kana mau kauwa; a holo no Simei a hoihoi mai i kana mau kauwa mai Gata mai.

Wasesukuma uShimeyi, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemi wakhe, waya eGathi kuAkishi ukudinga inceku zakhe; uShimeyi wahamba waletha inceku zakhe zivela eGathi.

41 Haiia'ku la ia Solomona, ua hele aku o Simei mai Ierusalema aku i Gata, a ua hoi mai.

Kwasekubikelwa uSolomoni ukuthi uShimeyi wayesukile eJerusalema waya eGathi, njalo wabuyela.

42 Hoouna ae ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, Aole anei na'u i hoohiki ai oe ma o Iehova la, a i olelo aku au ia oe penei, I kou la e puka aku ai a hele mawaho i kahi e, e ike oe he oiaio, e make io no oe? a olelo mai la oe ia'u, He pono ka olelo a'u e lohe nei.

Inkosi yasithuma yabiza uShimeyi yathi kuye: Kangikufungisanga yini ngeNkosi, ngafakaza kuwe ngathi: Mhla uphumayo ukuya ngaphi langaphi yazi lokwazi ukuthi uzakufa lokufa? Wasusithi kimi: Lihle ilizwi engilizwileyo.

43 No ke aha la hoi i malama ole ai oe i kau mea i hoohiki ai no Iehova, a me ke kauoha a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe?

Pho, kungani ungasigcinanga isifungo seNkosi lomlayo engakulaya ngawo?

44 Olelo hou ae la ke alii ia Simei, Ua ike no oe i ka hewa a pau i maopopo i kou naau, au i hana mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane: nolaila e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kou hewa maluna iho o kou poo;

Inkosi yasisithi kuShimeyi: Wena uyazi bonke ububi inhliziyo yakho ebaziyo owabenza kuDavida ubaba; ngakho iNkosi izabuyisela ububi bakho phezu kwekhanda lakho.

45 A e pomaikai Solomona ke alii, a e hooku paa mau loa ia ka nohoalii o Davida ma ke alo o Iehova.

Kodwa inkosi uSolomoni ibusisiwe, lesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavida sizaqiniswa phambi kweNkosi kuze kube nininini.

46 Alaila kena ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a puka ae ia, a lele aku ia ia a make ia. A ua hoopaaia ke aupuni iloko o ka lima o Solomona.

Ngakho inkosi yalaya uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, owaphuma wamsukela waze wafa. Ngakho umbuso waqiniswa esandleni sikaSolomoni.
