1 Hagi Devitima fri kna'amo'ma egoftama nehigeno'a, amanage huno nemofo Solomonina asami'ne,

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

2 Kofta hu'na nagra frigahue. Hagi ve mofavremo'ma nehiaza hunka oti hanavetinenka,

Sengihamba indlela yomhlaba wonke. Ngakho qina, ube yindoda,

3 Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'ma huoma hania zana nehunka, maka avu'ava'a avaririo. Hagi Mosese avontafepima krente'nea tra ke'ane, kasege'anema kegava hunka avaririsankeno'a, maka zama hanana zamo'ene, kama vanana kamo'a knare hugahie.

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 Hagi ana'ma hanankeno'a Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprinante'nea kemo'a nena raga regahie. Agra amanage huno hu'ne, Ne' mofavreka'amo'zama vahe'ma maniga kante nemaniza, maka zupa kazigazi hu'za miko tumozimireti'ene, zamagu zamenteti'ma hu'za navaririsazana Israeli vahete'ma kinima mani vahekura ohakegosazanki, kagri mofavre nagapinti mago zimimo kinia otitere hugahie huno nasami'ne.

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 Hagi Zeruia nemofo Joapu'ma hunante'nea avu'avazamofo kea antahi'nane. Agra tare Israeli sondia kva netrena, Neri nemofo Abnane, Jeta nemofo Amasakigiznia zanahe fri'ne. Hagi anama zanahe'neana hapina ozanahe'neanki, fru hu'ne amne mani'na'a knafi zanaheno korazani'a eri tagi'nea koramo'a amu'nofimofone agia anomofonte me'ne.

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 Hagi kagra knare antahintahika'a avaririnka e'ina zantera nona hunto. Hagi atregeno amanea mani'neno ozafa reno rimpa frunena ofrino. (Sheol h7585)

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

7 Hagi Giliati ne' Basilai ne'mofavreramina zamatrege'za kagranema nezama nenaza traka'areti'ma nenaza naga'ene neho. Na'ankure negafu Absalomunkuma koro'ma fre'na nevugeno'a, zamagra knare zamavu'zamava nagrira hunante'naze.

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

8 Hagi Bahurimi kumateti Benzameni nagapinti ne' Gera nemofo Simeinkura kagera okanio. Agra Mahanaimi kumate'ma nevugeno'a kazusi ke hunanteno nazeri haviza hu'ne. Hianagi Jodani tinte'ma eme nege'na Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hunte'na amanage hu'noe, Kahe ofrigosue hu'na hu'noe.

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 Hianagi atregeno e'ina kemo'a hazenke'a erifrara okino. Hagi kagra knare antahintahika'a avaririnka e'ina zantera nona hunto. Hanki atregeno amanea mani'neno ozafa reno ofri'nianki, ahenka korama'a eri tagigeno frino. (Sheol h7585)

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

10 Hagi anante Deviti'a frige'za agri rankumapi Jerusalemi asente'naze.

UDavida waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa emzini kaDavida.

11 Hagi Deviti'a 40'a kafufi kinia mani'neno, Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne. Hagi ana 40'a kafuma mani'nefina 7ni'a kafua Hebroni maniteno, 33'a kafua Jerusalemi umani'ne.

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

12 Hagi anama higeno'a Solomoni'a nefa nona erino Deviti kini tratera kinia mani'ne. Hagi Solomoni'a hankave kini ne' fore huno hanavenentake higeno magozamo'a azeri atregara osu'ne.

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

13 Mago zupa Hagiti ne'mofo Adoniza'a Solomoni nerera Batseba kenaku e'ne. Hagi anama egeno'a, Batseba'a amanage huno antahige'ne. Kagra knare kazigati ampi? huno higeno, Adoniza'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Knare naneke kasaminaku oe nehuno,

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

14 amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago'a ke kasaminaku e'noe, higeno Batseba'a amanage hu'ne, Huge'na antahi'neno huno hu'ne.

Wathi: Ngilelizwi kuwe. Wasesithi: Khuluma.

15 Higeno Adoniza'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra antahi'nane, esera mika Israeli vahe'mo'za nagriku kini manigahie hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi ana kini tramo'a ete nenafu azampi vigeno, nenagna kinia manie. Na'ankure ko Ra Anumzamo agri huhamprinte'ne.

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 Hanki nagra menina magoke zanku kantahigegahue. Muse hugantoanki ama ana keni'a antahinamio, higeno Batseba'a amanage huno hu'ne, Hugena antahineno huno hu'ne.

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

17 Anagema higeno'a Adoniza'a amanage huno asami'ne, Muse hugantoanki kini ne' Solomonina antahigegeno, Sunamiti a' Abisakina naminkena a' eri'neno. Na'ankure kagrama hananankea antahigahie.

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

18 Higeno Batseba'a amanage huno asami'ne, Knareki'na kagri kea eri'na kini nera ome antahigegahue.

UBathisheba wasesithi: Kulungile; mina ngizakukhulumela enkosini.

19 Anage nehuno Batseba'a Adoniza agi erino Solomonina ome antahigenaku vu'ne. Hagi kini ne' Solomoni'ma Batsebama negeno'a, otino arena reno kepri nehuno, eri'za vahe'a kehige'za mago trara eri'za azantmaga kaziga eme antazageno, nerera'a ana trate mani'ne.

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 Hagi Batseba'a ana trate'ma maniteno'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago osi zanku kantahigegahue, hanki ana keni'a eri otrenka antahinamio. Anante kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Antanimoka amne nantahigo, na'ankure kagra antahi'nane, nagra keka'arera i'o hu'na osugahue.

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

21 Hanki Batseba'a amanage hu'ne, Atregeno negafu Adoniza'a Sunemiti ara a' avrenteno.

Wasesithi: UAbishagi umShunami kanikwe uAdonija umfowenu abe ngumkakhe.

22 Anagema higeno'a kini ne' Solomoni'a amanage hu'ne, Nagafare Sunemiti ara Abisakina Adonizana amio hunka eme nantahinegane? E'ina'ma hunaku'ma hanunka fatgo hunka nantahigege'na atranenkeno nagri no erino kinia manino. Na'ankure agra nempuni'a manigeno agri kaziga pristi ne' Abiata'ene, Seruia nemofo Joapukea mani'na'e.

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

23 Anage nehuno Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamofo avufi amanage huno huvempagea hu'ne. Adoniza'ma amanahu ke'ma hire'ma ahe ofrisugeno'a Anumzamo'a nagrira nahe frigahie!

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

24 E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamo'ma naza huno hankave naminege'na nenfa Deviti kini trate'ma nagri naga'ma huhampri'nea kante'ma ante'na kini tratera mani'ne'na mani vava Anumzamofo agifi huankino, Adoniza'a meninke frigahie.

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

25 Anage nehuno kini ne' Solomoni'a Jehoiada nemofo Benaia huntegeno vuno, Adonizana ome ahegeno fri'ne.

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

26 Hagi kini ne'mo'a pristi ne' Abiatana amanage huno asami'ne, kagra ete mopakarega Anatoti vuo. Hianagi menina kagrira kahe ofrigahue. Na'ankure kagra nenfa Deviti'ene mani'nenka Ra Anumzana hankavenentake Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisi e'nerinka, nenfa'ma hazenke knafima mani'negenka aza hunka nenfa knazana eri'nane.

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 E'inage nehuno kini ne'mo'a Ra Anumzamo'ma Sailo kumate Eli naga'ma kasnampa ke huzamante'nea kante anteno Abiatana pristi eri'zama'afintira ahenati'ne.

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

28 Hagi Joapu'a Absalomu'ma kinima mani'naku'ma nehigeno'a agri'enena tragoteno mani'neno aza osu'ne. Hianagi Adoniza'ma kinima mani'zama nehigeno'a, Adoniza'ene ome tragoteno mani'neno aza hu'ne. E'ina hu'neankino Adonizama ahaza nanekema nentahino'a, freno vuno ruotge seli mono nompi Ra Anumzamofo kre sramnavu itare'ma me'nea pazivetaminte ome azeriteno mani'ne.

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

29 Hagi kini ne' Solomonina ome asami'za amanage hu'naze, Joapu'a freno vuno Ra Anumzamofo seli mono no kumapi kre sramnavu itare'ma me'nea pazivete ome azerintrako huteno mani'ne. Hagi ana nanekema nentahino'a Solomoni'a Jehoiada nemofo Benaia hunteno, Joapuna ome ahegeno frino!

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

30 Anagema higeno'a Benaia'a Ra Anumzamofo seli nompi eazamo amanage huno Joapuna eme asami'ne, Kini ne'mo'a fegi atiramio huno hianki fegia atiramio. Hianagi Joapu'a amanage huno hu'ne, I'o nagra ama anante frigahue. Hagi agrama hia nanekea erino vuno Joapu'a anage hie huno kini nera ome asami'ne.

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 Kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Knareki agri ke avaririnka anante ome ahegeno frina asentegeno Joapu'ma hazenke'a omane vahe'ma zamahe'nea kanazamo'a tagritera omaneno.

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

32 Hagi hazenkezani omne netrema zanahe'nea zantera, Ra Anumzamo agrake Joapuna nona huntegahie. Na'ankure agra hazenkezni omne netre Israeli vahe sondia kva ne' Neri nemofo Abnane, Juda vahe sondia vahetaminte kva ne Jetari nemofo Amasanena nenfa'a keno antahino osu'negeno zanahe'ne.

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 E'ina hu'negu ana netremofo knazamo'a Joapunte'ene agripinti'ma forehu anante anante hu'zama vanaza vahepi mevava huno vugahie. Hianagi Devitinte'ene agripinti'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'ene, naga'are'ene, kini tra'are mani'za esaza vahetera maka zupa Ra Anumzamofo arimpa fruzamo mevava huno vanie.

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 Hagi anante Jehoiada nemofo Benaia'a vuno ruotge seli mono nompi Joapuna ome ahe frigeno, avufa'a eri'za hagege kokampi noma'afinka ome asente'naze.

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

35 Hagi ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a Joapu nontera Benaiana azeri otigeno sondia vahetera ugota kva manigeno, pristi ne' Abiata nontera, Zadoki azeri otigeno pristia mani'ne.

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

36 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a Simeintega amanage huno kea atrente'ne, kagra Jerusalemi nona ome kinka manio. Hianagi ana kumapintira atrenka rurega vunka enka osutfa huo.

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

37 Hanki ana kuma'ma atrenka Kidroni kraho'ma agaterenka nevanunka, nagra frigahue hunka kagesa antahio. Hagi anama hunka kagrama frisankeno'a, fri'nana knazamo'a kagrite megahie.

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

38 Hanki Simei'a amanage huno kini ne'mofo kerera hu'ne, kini nera nanekema refko'ma hunka ketenka hunantana kemo'a fatgo hianki'na rana kini nimokama hanankemofona, eri'za nekamo'na avaririgahue. Anage nehuno Simei'a zaza kna Jerusalemia mani'ne.

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

39 Hianagi 3'a kafuma enevigeno'a, Simei eri'za netremokea atrene freke Gati kini ne' Maka nemofo Akisi'ene Gati kumate umani'na'e. Hagi Simeina mago'a vahe'mo'za asami'za, Eri'za neka'araremokea freke Gati kumate umani'na'e huza asamizageno,

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

40 Simei'a tonki afu'a retro huteno agumpi marerino eri'za netrema'agu hakeno Gati kumate Akisinte vu'ne. Hagi ana eri'za netre'na ome zanageno, Gati kumatetira ete zanavreno e'ne.

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

41 Hagi Simei'ma Jerusalemima atreno Gatima vuteno eankema Solomoni'ma nentahino'a,

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

42 kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kea atrente'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hu'na Jerusalemi kuma'ma atrenka ru kumate'ma vanunka frigahane hu'na hu'noe. Hagi anagema hugenka, kagra amanage hu'nane, kini nera nanekema refko'ma hunka ketenka hunantana kemo'a fatgo hianki'na ana kemofo avaririgahue hu'nane.

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 Hagi nahigenka Ra Anumzamofo avufima huvempama hunka avaririgahue hu'nana kea rutragenane?

Pho, kungani ungasigcinanga isifungo seNkosi lomlayo engakulaya ngawo?

44 Hagi kini ne'mo'a Simeinkura mago'ane amanage hu'ne, kefo kavukava'ma nenfa Devitima hunte'nana zana kagra'a antahi'nane. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a ana knazamofo nona'a kagrira kazeri haviza hugahie.

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

45 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira asomu hunante'nigeno, Ra Anumzamofo avurera Deviti kini tramo'a agripintima fore hunante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahepi mevava huno vugahie.

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

46 Ana huteno Jehoiada nemofo Benaia huntegeno, Simeina ome ahe fri'ne. Ana huteno Solomoni'a hankavenentake kini fore huno vahera kegava hu'ne.

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