II Samuela 13
1 A MAHOPE iho o ia mea, he kaikuwahine maikai ko Abesaloma ke keikikane a Davida, o Tamara kona inoa: aloha mai la o Amenona ke keikikane a Davida ia ia.
Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi, u-Amnoni indodana kaDavida wathanda uThamari, owayemuhle, engudadewabo ka-Abhisalomu indodana kaDavida.
2 Pela ka pono ole ana o Amenona, a mai iho la ia no kona kaikuwahine no Tamara; no ka mea, he puupaa ia: aole i hiki pono ia Amenona ke hana aku i kekahi mea ia ia.
U-Amnoni wabindeka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uThamari, ngoba wayeyintombi egcweleyo, njalo kwakukhanya kungeke kwenzeke ukuthi enze loba yini kuye.
3 He hoalauna ko Amenona, o Ionadaba kona inoa, ke keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana: a he kanaka maalea loa o Ionadaba.
U-Amnoni wayelomngane wakhe owayethiwa nguJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida. UJehonadabi wayeliqili lendoda.
4 I aku la kela ia ia, O oe ke keiki a ke alii, heaha la kau mea e wiwi ai i kela la i keia la? Aole oe e hai mai ia'u, ea? I mai la o Amenona ia ia, Ua aloha au ia Tamara i ke kaikuwahine o kuu kaikaina o Abesaloma.
Wabuza u-Amnoni wathi, “Kungani wena, ndodana yenkosi, ukhanya uhlobile nsuku zonke ekuseni? Awungeke ungitshele na?” U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Ngiyamthanda uThamari, udadewabo ka-Abhisalomu umfowethu.”
5 I aku la o Ionadaba ia ia, E moe iho oe ma kou wahi moe, a e hoomaimai iho oe: a hele mai kou makuakane e ike ia oe, e i aku oe ia ia, Ea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine e haawi mai ia i ai na'u, e hoomakaukau ia i ka ai imua o ko'u mau maka, i ike au, a ai iho hoi ma kona lima.
UJehonadabi wathi, “Hamba uyelala uzenze ogulayo. Lapho uyihlo ezekubona, wothi kuye, ‘Ngifuna udadewethu uThamari azenginika ulutho lokudla. Ukudla lokho kazekulungisela emehlweni ami, ukuze ngimkhangele ngikudle kuvela esandleni sakhe.’”
6 Moe iho la o Amenona, a hoomaimai ia ia iho: a hele mai ke alii e ike ia ia, i aku la o Amenona i ke alii, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine, a hana iho na'u i elua wahi popo palaoa imua o kuu mau maka, i ai iho au ma kona lima.
Ngakho u-Amnoni walala phansi wazenza ogulayo. Kwathi inkosi isifikile ukuzambona, u-Amnoni wathi kuyo, “Ngicela udadewethu uThamari azengenzela isinkwa khonapha ukuze ngidle ngisamukela esandleni sakhe.”
7 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Davida io Tamara la ma kona wahi, i aku la, E hele oe ano i ka hale o kou kaikunane o Amenona, a e hana oe i wahi ai nana.
UDavida wathumela ilizwi kuThamari endlini yobukhosi esithi: “Hamba endlini yomnewenu u-Amnoni umlungisele ukudla.”
8 Hele aku la o Tamara i ka hale o kona kaikunane o Amenona, a e moe ana no ia. Lawe ae la kela i ka palaoa, kawili ae la, a hana iho la i na popo imua o kona maka, a pulehu iho la i ua mau popo la.
Ngakho uThamari waya endlini kamnewabo u-Amnoni owayelele phansi. Wathatha inhlama wayivuba, wenza isinkwa khonapho.
9 Lawe ae la ia i ke pa, a ninini aku la ia mau mea imua ona, aole nae ia i ai. I aku la o Amenona, E hele iwaho na kanaka a pau mai o'u aku nei; I hele aku la na kanaka a pau iwaho mai ona aku la.
Wasethatha ipane wamnika isinkwa, kodwa wala ukudla. U-Amnoni wasesithi, “Batshele baphume bonke abalapha.” Ngakho bonke baphuma bamtshiya.
10 I aku la o Amenona ia Tamara, E lawe mai oe i ka ai maloko o ke keena nei i ai iho au ma kou lima, Lawe ae la o Tamara i na popo palaoa ana i hana'i, a halihali mai la iloko o ke keena io Amenona la i kona kaikunane.
U-Amnoni wasesithi kuThamari, “Letha ukudla lapha endlini yami yokulala ukuze ungifunze ngesandla sakho.” UThamari wathatha isinkwa ayesilungisile wasisa kumnewabo u-Amnoni endlini yakhe yokulala.
11 Aia lawe mai la ia io na la e ai ai, lalau aku la kela ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E, e moe kaua, e kuu kaikuwahine.
Kodwa esefike laso kuye ukuba adle, wamxhakala wathi, “Woza ulale lami, dadewethu.”
12 I mai la kela ia ia, Aole, e kuu kaikunane, mai pue wale mai oe ia'u; no ka mea, aole e pono ke hana pela iwaena o ka Iseraela: mai hana oe i keia mea ino.
Yena wathi kuye, “Ungaqali, mnewethu! Ungangigebengi. Into enje akumelanga yenziwe ko-Israyeli! Ungenzi into le embi.
13 A owau la, mahea la uanei au e huna ai i kuu hilahila? A o oe hoi, e like auanei oe me kekahi o ka poe haukae iloko o ka Iseraela. No ia mea ea, e olelo aku oe i ke alii; aole ia e paa ia'u mai ou aku la.
Mina-ke? Ngingalisusela ngaphi ihlazo lami? Wena-ke? Angithi ungafana lesinye seziphukuphuku ezixhwalileyo ko-Israyeli. Ake ukhulume lenkosi, kayisoze ingalele ukwendela kuwe.”
14 Aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i kona leo; aka, no ka oi o kona ikaika i ko ia la, pue wale aku la kela ia ia, a moe iho la me ia.
Kodwa u-Amnoni wala ukumlalela, kwathi njengoba wayelamandla kulaye, wamgebenga.
15 Alaila, mains aku la o Amenona ia ia me ka inaina nui loa: a ua oi aku ka inaina ana i inaina aku ai ia ia, i ke aloha ana i aloha mua aku ai ia ia. I aku la o Amenona ia ia, E ala'e, e hoi.
Emva kwalokho u-Amnoni wamzonda ngenzondo ebuhlungu kakhulu. Ngeqiniso wamzonda okudlula ukumthanda kwakhe. U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Vuka uphume!”
16 I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe pono; o keia hala o kou kipaku ana ia'u ua oi aku ia i kela mea au i hana iho nei ia'u: aole nae ia i hoolohe aku ia ia.
Yena wathi, “Hatshi! Ukungixotsha kungaba yibubi obudlula lokhu osukwenze kimi.” Kodwa wala ukumlalela.
17 Kahea aku la ia i kana kauwa, i ka mea i lawelawe nana, i aku la, E kipaku aku oe ia ia nei iwaho mai o'u aku nei, a e hoopaa i ka puka mahope ona.
Wabiza inceku eyayiqondane laye wathi, “Susa umfazi lo lapha, ukhiye umnyango ngemva kwakhe.”
18 He kapa onionio maluna ona: pela no i kahikoia'i na kaikamahine puupaa a ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la kana kauwa ia ia iwaho, a hoopaa iho la i ka puka mahope ona.
Ngakho inceku yakhe yamkhuphela phandle yakhiya umnyango. Wayegqoke isigqoko esasiceciswe kakuhle, ngoba lolu yilo uhlobo lwesigqoko esasigqokwa ngamadodakazi enkosi ayezintombi ezigcweleyo.
19 Lu iho la o Tamara i ka lehuahi maluna o kona poo, haehae ae la i kona kapa onionio maluna ona, kau ae la hoi ia i kona lima maluna o kona poo, a hele aku la e uwe ana.
UThamari wazithela ngomlotha ekhanda wadabula isigqoko esicecisiweyo ayesigqokile. Wathwala imikhono ekhanda wasuka, wahamba ekhala kakhulu.
20 I aku la o Abesaloma o kona kaikunane ia ia, Ua moe no anei o Amenona kou kaikunane me oe? E noho malie hoi oe, e kuu kaikuwahine, o kou kaikunane kela, mai manao nui oe ma ia mea. A noho mehameha iho la o Tamara ma ka hale o Abesaloma kona kaikunane.
Umnewabo u-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “U-Amnoni lowo, umnewenu, kade elawe na? Zithulele dadewethu; ungumnewenu. Ungayibeki enhliziyweni yakho into le.” UThamari wahlala endlini kamnewabo u-Abhisalomu, engowesifazane ohlulukelweyo.
21 A i ka lohe ana o Davida ke alii ia mau mea a pau, huhu loa iho la ia.
Inkosi uDavida esekuzwile konke lokhu wathukuthela kakhulu.
22 Aole i olelo aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona kona kaikuaana i ka pono, aole hoi i ka hewa: no ka mea, ua inaina aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona, i kona pue wale ana ia Tamara i kona kaikuwahine.
U-Abhisalomu kazange atsho lizwi ku-Amnoni, elihle loba elibi; wamzonda u-Amnoni ngoba wayehlazise udadewabo uThamari.
23 A hala ae la na makahiki okoa elua, he aha ako hipa ko Abesaloma ma Baalahazora e kokoke ana me ko Eperaima: a kono aku la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii e hele ilaila.
Emva kweminyaka emibili, lapho abagundi bezimvu zika-Abhisalomu babeseBhali Hazori phansi komngcele wako-Efrayimi, wanxusa wonke amadodana enkosi ukuba aye khonale.
24 Hele mai la o Abesaloma i ke alii, i mai la, Aia he aha ako hipa o kau kauwa; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu ke alii a me kana poe kauwa me kau kauwa.
U-Abhisalomu waya enkosini wathi, “Inceku yakho abagundi bayo bafikile. Kambe inkosi lezikhulu zayo ingahamba lami na?”
25 I aku la ke alii ia Abesaloma, Aole makou a pau e hele, e kuu keiki, o hookaumaha makou ia oe. Koi mai la kela ia ia; aole nae ia I manao e hele, aka, hoomaikai aku la oia ia ia.
Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Hatshi, ndodana yami. Akumelanga sonke sihambe; singaba ngumthwalo onzima kuwe.” Lanxa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, yala ukuhamba, kodwa yena yamvumela.
26 I mai la o Abesaloma, A i ole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ae mai i kuu kaikuaana ia Amenona e hele pu me makou. I aku la ke alii ia ia, Heaha la kana e hele pu aku ai me oe?
U-Abhisalomu wasesithi, “Nxa kungenjalo, ake uvumele umfowethu u-Amnoni ahambe lathi.” Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kungani kumele ahambe lani?”
27 Koi aku la o Abesaloma ia ia, a ae mai la ia e hele pu o Amenona, a o na keikikane a pau a ke alii me ia.
Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, ngakho yavuma ukuba u-Amnoni ahambe laye kanye lamanye amadodana enkosi.
28 Kauoha aku la o Abesaloma i kana poe kauwa, i aku la, E nana oukou, a olioli ka naau o Amenona i ka waina; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, E pepehi ia Amenona, alaila e pepehi ia ia, mai makau; aole anei au i kauoha aku? I nui ke aho, a e koa hoi.
U-Abhisalomu walaya abantu bakhe wathi, “Lalelani! Nxa u-Amnoni esethabe kakhulu ngenxa yokunatha iwayini ngingathi kini, ‘Mbulaleni u-Amnoni!’ limbulale. Lingesabi. Kangiliphanga umlayo lo na? Qinani libe lesibindi.”
29 A hana aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma ia Amenona, e like me ka Abesaloma i kauoha ai: alaila ku ae la na keikikane a pau a ke alii, ae aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona hoki, a holo aku la.
Ngakho abantu baka-Abhisalomu benza ku-Amnoni lokho u-Abhisalomu ayebalaye khona. Lapho-ke wonke amadodana enkosi asuka, agada imbongolo zawo abaleka.
30 Aia ma ke alanui lakou, haiia mai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi iho la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii, aole koe kekahi o lakou.
Esesendleleni umbiko wafika kuDavida usithi, “U-Abhisalomu usewabulele wonke amadodana enkosi, akukho leyodwa eseleyo.”
31 Alaila, ku ae la ke alii, haehae ae la i na kapa ona, a moe iho la ma ka honua, a ku mai la na kauwa ana a pau me ka haehaeia o ko lakou kapa.
Inkosi yasukuma, yadabula izigqoko zayo yalala phansi emhlabathini; izinceku zayo zonke zema khonapho iziqgoko zazo sezizidabulile.
32 Olelo mai la o Ionadaba ko keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana, i mai la, Mai manao oe, e kuu haku, ua pepehi lakou i ka poe kanaka opiopio a pau, i na keikikane a ke alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make, no ka mea, ua ohumuia keia mea ma ka waha o Abesaloma, mai ka la mai i pue wale aku ai kela i kona kaikuwahine ia Tamara.
Kodwa uJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wathi, “Inkosi yami kayingacabangi ukuthi babulele wonke amakhosana, ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo. Le yinhloso ka-Abhisalomu ebivele ikhona kusukela mhla u-Amnoni egebenga udadewabo uThamari.
33 Nolaila hoi, mai hookaumaha kuu haku ke alii i kona naau ia mea, me ka manao ua make na keiki a pau a ko alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make.
Umhlekazi wami inkosi kayinganqineki ngombiko othi wonke amadodana enkosi afile. Ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo.”
34 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma. A o ke kanaka opiopio e kiai ana, alawa ae la na maka ona iluna, ike aku la, aia la, he nui na kanaka e hele mai ana ma ke ala ma ka aoao o ka puu mahope ona.
Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhisalomu wayesebalekile. Kwathi umuntu owayelinda wabona abantu abanengi emgwaqweni ngasentshonalanga, besehla eceleni lentaba. Umlindi lowo wahamba wayabikela inkosi wathi, “Ngibona abantu ngokuya eHoronayimi, eceleni kwentaba.”
35 I aku la o Ionadaba i ke alii, Aia la, ke hele mai nei na keikikane a ke alii, e like me ka olelo ana a kau kauwa.
UJehonadabi wasesithi enkosini, “Khangela, amadodana enkosi asefikile; kwenzakale njengoba inceku yakho itshilo.”
36 A pau ae la ka olelo ana, hiki mai la na keikikane a ke alii, hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la: uwe nui loa iho la ke alii a me kana poe kauwa a pau.
Wathi eqeda ukukhuluma, amadodana enkosi angena ekhala kakhulu. Layo inkosi, kanye lezinceku zayo zonke bakhala kabuhlungu.
37 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la io Talemai la i ke keiki a Amihuda ke alii no Gesura. Kanikau iho la o [Davida] i kana keiki i kela la i keia la.
U-Abhisalomu wabaleka waya kuThalimayi indodana ka-Amihudi inkosi yaseGeshuri. Kodwa Inkosi uDavida walilela indodana yakhe insuku zonke.
38 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la i Gesura, noho iho la ilaila ekolu makahiki.
Emva kokuba u-Abhisalomu esebaleke waya eGeshuri, wahlala khonale iminyaka emithathu.
39 Iini loa iho la o Davida ke alii e hele aku io Abesaloma la; no ka mea, ua hooluoluia oia no Amenona, i kona make ana.
Umoya wenkosi wafisa ukuya ku-Abhisalomu, ngoba yayisiduduzekile ngokufa kuka-Amnoni.
