II Samuela 17
1 OLELO aku la o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma, He pono na'u e wae aku ano i na kanaka he umikumamalua tausani, a e ku ae au a e hahai aku mahope o Davida i neia po.
U-Ahithofeli wathi ku-Abhisalomu, “Kahle ngikhethe abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili ngiphume lamhla ebusuku ngilandela uDavida.
2 A e loaa aku ia'u ia oi nawaliwali ia a me ke kanaka ole, a e hooweliweli aku au ia ia; a e holo aku na kanaka a pau me ia; a o ke alii wale no ka'u e pepehi aku ai.
Ngingamhlasela esadiniwe engelamandla. Ngingamtshayisa ngovalo, bonke abantu abalaye bazabaleka. Ngingabulala inkosi kuphela
3 A e hoihoi mai nei au i na kanaka a pau iou nei; o ke kanaka au e imi nei, na like ia me ka hoi hou ana mai o lakou a pau: pela e malu ai na kanaka a pau.
abantu bonke ngibabuyisele kuwe. Ukufa komuntu omdingayo kuzakutsho ukuphenduka kwabo bonke; bonke abantu kabayikwenziwa lutho.”
4 He pono keia olelo i ka manao o Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela.
Icebo leli lakhanya lilihle ku-Abhisalomu lakubo bonke abadala bako-Israyeli.
5 Alaila, i mai la o Abesaloma, E kahea aku hoi ia Husai no Areki; e lohe hoi kakou i kana olelo.
Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wathi, “Bizani loHushayi umʼArikhi, ukuze sizwe angakutsho.”
6 A hiki mai o Husai io Abesaloma la, olelo mai la o Abesaloma ia ia, i mai la, Pela ka Ahitopela i olelo mai ai: e hana anei kakou e like me kana olelo? A i ole, e olelo mai hoi oe.
UHushayi esezile kuye, u-Abhisalomu wathi, “U-Ahithofeli usesinike iseluleko lesi. Sikwenze yini lokhu akutshoyo? Nxa kungenjalo, sinike owakho umcabango.”
7 I aku la o Husai ia Abesaloma, O ka oleloao a Ahitopela ana i olelo mai ai, aohe pono ia i neia manawa.
UHushayi waphendula u-Abhisalomu wathi, “Iseluleko osiphiwe ngu-Ahithofeli kasilunganga ngalesi isikhathi.
8 No ka mea, wahi a Husai, ua ike oe i kou makuakane a me na kanaka ona, he poe kanaka ikaika lakou, a ua ukiuki ko lakou naau me he bea la i kailiia aku kana ohana keiki ma ke kula; he kanaka kaua no hoi kou makuakane, aole ia e moe me na kanaka.
Uyamazi uyihlo labantu bakhe, bangamaqhawe, njalo bathukuthela okwebhele leganga lithathelwe imidlwane yalo. Langaphandle kwalokho, uyihlo liqhawe eliyaziyo impi, kabuchithi ubusuku elamabutho.
9 Aia no ia ua pee ma kekahi lua, i kekahi wahi paha: a i ka haule mua ana o kekahi mau mea o lakou, e olelo auanei ka poe lohe, He lukuia iwaena o ka poe hahai ia Abesaloma;
Lakhathesi nje, ucatshile ebhalwini loba enye indawo. Nxa yena engahlasela amabutho akho kuqala, loba ngubani ozakuzwa ngakho uzakuthi, ‘Kube lokuqothulwa phakathi kwamabutho alandela u-Abhisalomu.’
10 A o ke koa, ka mea naau e like me ka naau o ka liona, e hehee loa ia: no ka mea, ua ike ka Iseraela a pau, he kanaka koa kou makuakane, a he poe kanaka ikaika hoi ka poe me ia.
Lapho-ke lebutho elilesibindi kulawo wonke, elinhliziyo yalo ifana lenhliziyo yesilwane, lizahedezela ngokwesaba ngoba u-Israyeli wonke uyakwazi ukuthi uyihlo liqhawe kanye lokuthi labo abalaye balesibindi.
11 Nolaila, eia kuu manao ke hai aku nei, I hoakoakoaia mai ka Iseraela a pau iou nei, mai Dana a hiki i Beeraseba, e like me ke one o ke kai ka nui loa; a e hele oe iho no i ke kaua.
Ngakho ngiyakucebisa: Akuthi abako-Israyeli bonke, kusukela koDani kusiya eBherishebha, ngobunengi obunjengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle, babuthane kuwe, kuthi wena ngokwakho ubakhokhele empini.
12 Pela kakou e hiki aku ai io na la i kahi e loaa aku ai ia ia, a e kau aku kakou maluna ona, e like me ka hau e kau mai maluna o ka honua: a oia, a o ka poe a pau me ia, aole loa e koe kekahi o lakou.
Lapho-ke sizamhlasela loba kungaphi lapho angaficwa khona, njalo sizakwehlela phezu kwakhe njengamazolo ewela emhlabathini. Loba yena kumbe loba bani wabantu bakhe kakho ozasala ephila.
13 A ina paha ua komo aku ia iloko o kekahi kulanakauhale, alaila e lawe aku ka Iseraela a pau i na kaula i ua kulanakauhale la, a e kauo aku kakou ia wahi maloko o ka muliwai, a koe ole ma ia wahi kekahi pohaku liilii.
Angabalekela edolobheni u-Israyeli wonke uzakuza lezintambo edolobheni, silihudulele phansi esigodini kuze kungabe kusatholakala lesihletshana salo.”
14 I aku la o Abesaloma a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua oi aku ka pono o ka oleloao a Husai no Areki, mamua o ka oleloao a Ahitopela. No ka mea, ua manao mai o Iehova e hoolilo i ka oleloao akamai a Ahitopela i mea ole, i mea e hooili mai ai o Iehova i ka ino maluna o Abesaloma.
U-Abhisalomu labantu bonke bako-Israyeli bathi, “Iseluleko sikaHushayi umʼArikhi singcono kulesika-Ahithofeli.” Ngoba uThixo wayeqonde ukufubisa iseluleko esilungileyo sika-Ahithofeli ukuze alethele u-Abhisalomu incithakalo.
15 Alaila, olelo aku la o Husai ia Zadoka laua o Abiatara na kahuna, Pela a penei i oleloao aku ai o Ahitopela ia Abesaloma a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela; pela a penei hoi au i oleloao aku ai.
UHushayi watshela uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari, abaphristi, wathi, “U-Ahithofeli usecebise u-Abhisalomu labadala bako-Israyeli ukuba benze ukuthi lokuthi, kodwa mina sengibacebise ukuthi benze okunje lokunje.
16 Nolaila, e hoouna koke aku olua e hai ia Davida, i ka i ana aku, Mai moe oe i neia po ma na papu o ka waonahele, e hele koke oe ma kela aoao, o pau loa ke alii a me na kanaka me ia i ke aleia.
Khathesi-ke thumelani lizwi ngokuphangisa litshele uDavida ukuthi, ‘Ngalobubusuku ungalali emazibukweni asenkangala; chaphela ngaphetsheya kungekho kuphutha, hlezi inkosi labantu bonke abalayo baminzwe.’”
17 A ua noho o Ionatana laua o Ahimaaza ma Enerogela, no ka mea, aole pono e ikeia laua ke komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a hele aku la kekahi kauwawahine, a hai aku la ia laua: hele aku la hoi laua, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida.
UJonathani lo-Ahimazi babehlala e-Eni Rogeli. Intombazana eyinceku yayizahamba iyebatshela, labo bezahamba bayetshela inkosi uDavida, ngoba babengeke bazifake engozini yokubonakala bengena edolobheni.
18 Aka, ua ike no kekahi keiki ia laua, a hai aku la ia Abesaloma: aka, hele koke aku la laua a hiki aku la i ka hale o kekahi kanaka i Bahurima, a he luawai maloko o ka pahale ona, ilaila laua i iho ai.
Kodwa ijaha elithile lababona laselitshela u-Abhisalomu. Ngakho bobabili basuka masinyane baya endlini yomuntu othile eBhahurimi. Wayelomthombo egumeni lakhe, bangena kuwo.
19 Lalau aku la ka wahine i ka mea uhi, hohola iho la maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, a halii iho la i ka palaoa maluna iho: a ua ike ole ia ua mea la.
Umkakhe wathatha okokwembesa wakwendlala phezu komlomo womthombo wasehaza amabele phezu kwakho. Kakho owayesazi ulutho ngakho.
20 A hiki mai na kauwa a Abesaloma i ua wahine la ma ka hale, ninau mai la lakou, Auhea o Ahimaaza laua o Ionatana? I aku la ka wahine ia lakou, ua hala aku la laua ma kela aoao o ke kahawai. Imi aku la lakou, aole hoi i loaa, alaila hoi hou mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
Abantu baka-Abhisalomu sebefike kowesifazane lowo endlini, bambuza bathi, “U-Ahimazi loJonathani bangaphi?” Owesifazane wabaphendula wathi, “Bachaphele ngaphetsheya kwesifudlana.” Abantu labo badinga kodwa kabatholanga muntu, ngakho babuyela eJerusalema.
21 A hala aku la lakou, pii mai la laua mailoko mai o ka luawai, hele aku la, a hai aku la i ke alii ia Davida. I aku la ia Davida, Eku ae, e holo koke ma kela aoao o ka wai; no ka mea, penei ka Ahitopela i olelo ku e ai ia oukou.
Abantu labo sebehambile, ababili labo baphuma emthonjeni basebesiyatshela inkosi uDavida. Bathi kuyo, “Suka uchaphe umfula masinyane; u-Ahithofeli usecebise ukuthi lokuthi okubi ngawe.”
22 Alaila ku ae la o Davida a me na kanaka a pau me ia, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane: a i ka wanaao, aole i koe kekahi o lakou i ka hele ole ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
Ngakho uDavida labantu bonke ababelaye basuka bachapha iJodani. Kwathi kusisa, engasekho owayesele engakachaphi iJodani.
23 A ike aku la o Ahitopela, aole i hanaia e like me kana oleloao, hoee aku la ia i ka noho maluna o kona hoki, ku ae la ia, hoi hou aku la ia i kona wahi, i kona hale iho, i kona kulanakauhale, a kauoha aku la no ko ka hale ona, a kaawe iho la ia ia iho, a make; a ua kanuia oia ma ka halekupapau o kona makuakane.
Kwathi u-Ahithofeli ebona ukuthi iseluleko sakhe sasingalandelwanga, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemi wakhe wasuka waya endlini yakhe emzini wakibo. Walungisa indlu yakhe, wasezibophela. Ngakho wafa wangcwatshwa ethuneni likayise.
24 Alaila hele aku la o Davida i Mahanaima: a hele aku la hoi o Abesaloma ma kela aoao o Ioredane, oia a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela me ia.
UDavida waya eMahanayimi, kwathi u-Abhisalomu wachapha iJodani labantu bonke bako-Israyeli.
25 Hoonoho aku la o Abesaloma ia Amasa ma ko Ioaba wahi maluna o ka poe kaua: a o ua Amasa la, he keiki ia na kekahi kanaka no ka Iseraela, o Itera ka inoa, ka mea i komo aku iloko io Abigala la ke kaikamahine a Nahasa, a o ke kaikaina o Zeruia o ka makuwahine o Ioaba.
U-Abhisalomu wayesebeke u-Amasa ukuba ngumlawuli webutho esikhundleni sikaJowabi. U-Amasa wayeyindodana yomuntu owayethiwa nguJetha, umʼIsrayeli owayethethe u-Abhigeli indodakazi kaNahashi udadewabo kaZeruya unakaJowabi.
26 Hoomoana iho la ka Iseraela me Abesaloma ma ka aina o Gileada.
Abako-Israyeli lo-Abhisalomu bamisa elizweni laseGiliyadi.
27 A hiki aku la o Davida i Mahanaima, ilaila o Sobi ke keiki a Nahasa no Raba o na mamo a Amona, a o Makira ke keiki a Amiela no Lodebara, a o Barezilai no Rogelima ma Gileada,
Kwathi uDavida esefikile eMahanayimi, uShobhi indodana kaNahashi waseRabha yama-Amoni, loMakhiri indodana ka-Amiyeli waseLo-Debhari, loBhazilayi umGiliyadi waseRogelimi
28 Lawe mai la lakou i na moe a me na kiaha a me na ipu lepo a me na hua palaoa a me ka bale a me ka palaoa, a me ka palaoa papaa, a me ka papapa maka, a me ka pi, a me ka papapa papaa;
bamlethela okokwendlala lemiganu lempahla ezenziwe ngebumba. Bamlethela lamabele kanye lebhali, ifulawa lamabele akhanzingiweyo, indumba lamalentili,
29 A me ka meli, a me ka bata, a mo na hipa, a me ka waiubipipaa, na Davida a na ka poe kanaka me ia e ai ai: no ka mea, olelo ae la lakou, Ua pololi na kanaka, ua luhi a me ka makewai ma ka waonahele.
uluju lamasi, izimvu, letshizi evela echagweni lwamankomokazi ukuba uDavida labantu bakhe badle. Ngoba bathi, “Abantu sebelambile njalo badiniwe futhi bomile enkangala.”
