1 Hagi mago mago kafumofo agu'afina zasi koma atu knamo'ma vaganerege'za kini vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zami'a ha' ome hunezamantaza kanagino, Deviti'a Joapune mika Israeli sondia vahetaminena hate viho huno huzmantege'za, zamagra vu'za Amoni vahera ome zamahe'za zamazeri haviza nehu'za, Raba kuma ome avazagi kagi'naze. Hianagi Deviti'a ana hatera ovuno, Jerusalemi mani'ne.
Kwathi entwasa, ngesikhathi amakhosi ayesiyakulwa ngaso impi, uDavida wathuma uJowabi elabantu benkosi lebutho lonke lako-Israyeli. Baqothula ama-Amoni basebevimbezela iRabha. Kodwa uDavida wasala eJerusalema.
2 Hagi mago kinaga Deviti'a tafe'are mase'nereti otino noma'amofo agofetu vano nehuno keana, mago hentofa a'mo'a ti nefregeno ke'ne.
Ngelinye ilanga kusihlwa uDavida wavuka embhedeni wakhe wahambahamba phezu kophahla lwesigodlo. Esephahleni wabona owesifazane egeza. Owesifazane lowo wayemuhle kakhulu,
3 Hagi Deviti'a keteno mago vahe hunteno amanage hu'ne, Fenamu ara izapi ome ketenka eme nasamio, higeno ome keteno ete eme asamino, Eliamu mofa Batsiba Hiti ne' Uria nenaro'e.
uDavida wasethuma umuntu ukuyabuza ngaye. Umuntu lowo wathi, “Kanti lo kasuBhathishebha, indodakazi ka-Eliyami umka-Uriya umHithi na?”
4 Anante Deviti'a eri'za vahe huzamantege'za vu'za ana ara ome avre'za ageno, anteno mase'ne. (Hagi e'inama hu'neana namunka mani'nereti vagarentegeno ti ome freno agra'a azeri agru nehigeno ke'ne.) Hagi Deviti'enema maseteno'a ete noma'arega vu'ne.
UDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyamthatha. Weza kuye, wembatha laye. (Owesifazane lo wayezihlambulule ekungcoleni kwakhe.) Emva kwalokho wabuyela ekhaya.
5 Hagi ana a'mo'ma keama amu'enema nehuno'a, Devitina kea atrenteno anage hu'ne, Namu'ene hue huno hu'ne.
Owesifazane lowo wathatha isisu, wasethumela ilizwi kuDavida, esithi, “Sengilesisu.”
6 Higeno Deviti'a Joapuna ke atrenteno, Hiti ne' Uriana huntegeno eno, higeno Joapu'a Uriana huntegeno Devitintega vu'ne.
Ngakho uDavida wathumela ilizwi leli kuJowabi elithi: “Ngilethela u-Uriya umHithi.” UJowabi wamthumela kuDavida.
7 Hagi Uria'ma Devitinte'ma ehanatigeno'a Deviti'a asamino, Joapuzane sondia vahera inankna hu'za mani'ne'za hara nehaze nehuno,
U-Uriya esefikile kuye, uDavida wambuza ukuthi uJowabi wayenjani, amabutho ayenjani kanye lokuthi impi yayiqhubeka njani.
8 anante Deviti'a Uriana hunteno, Vunka umani fru huo, huno huntegeno nevigeno'a, mago'a musezana antentege'za eri'za ome ami'naze.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Uriya, “Yehlela endlini yakho ugeze inyawo zakho.” Ngakho u-Uriya wasuka esigodlweni, walandelwa yisipho esavela enkosini esasala sithunyelwa kuye.
9 Hianagi Uria'a noma'arega ovu'neanki kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'ene kini ne' ku'ma kahampi umaseno mani'ne.
Kodwa u-Uriya walala entubeni yesigodlo lezinceku zonke zenkosi yakhe akaze aya endlini yakhe.
10 Mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asami'za, Uria'a noma'arega uorami'ne, hu'za hazageno Deviti'a kehigeno Uria'a egeno anage huno asami'ne, za'za kna umani'nanteti e'nananki na'a higenka nonka'arega ovu'nane?
Kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ukuthi, “U-Uriya kayanga ekhaya,” wambuza wathi, “Angithi usanda kufika nje uvela khatshana? Kungani ungayanga ekhaya?”
11 Anage higeno Uria'a Devitina kenona hunteno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisigi, Israeli sondia vaheki, Juda vahe'mo'za seli nompi manizageno, rankva vahe'ni'a Joapu'ene sondia vahete kva vahetamina ha' kampima seli nomaki'za mani'nenafina nagrama noniaregama vu'na ne'za ome nenena, a'ninema mase so'e huzamo'a knarera osu'ne. Hagi tamagerafa hu'na e'ina huzana osutfa hugahue.
U-Uriya wathi kuDavida, “Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lo-Israyeli loJuda kuhlezi emathenteni, inkosi yami uJowabi kanye labantu benkosi yami bamise egangeni. Pho ngingaya kanjani endlini ukuyakudla, lokunatha ngilale lomkami futhi na? Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uphila, mina angiyikwenza into enjalo!”
12 Anage higeno Deviti'a Uriana asamino, Meni kenagera are mase'negena, okina huganta'nena ete hate vuo. Higeno Uria'a Jerusalemi ana kenagera maseno magokna mani'ne.
UDavida wasesithi kuye, “Hlala lapha elinye ilanga futhi, kusasa ngizakubuyisela emuva.” Ngakho u-Uriya wahlala eJerusalema lolosuku kanye lolwalandelayo.
13 Hagi Deviti'a ke higeno noma'afi Uria'a eno Deviti'ene ne'zana nenegeno, akatina rama'a ami'geno neno neginagi hu'ne. Hu'neanagi ana kinaga Uria'a noma'arega vunora a'anena uomase'neanki, Deviti eri'za vahe'ene ko'ma mase'nere umase'ne.
Esecelwe nguDavida, wadla wanatha laye, uDavida wasemdakisa. Kodwa kusihlwa u-Uriya waphuma wayalala ecansini lakhe phakathi kwezinceku zenkosi yakhe; akayanga ekhaya.
14 Hagi nanterana Deviti'a mago avona Joapuntega krenenteno, Uriana huntegeno erino vu'ne.
Ekuseni uDavida walobela uJowabi incwadi wayiphathisa u-Uriya.
15 Hagi ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne, Uriana ha'ma hanavemati'za nehanafi avuga avrenentenka sondia vahera kehuge'za atre'za esageno, anampi Uriana ahesageno frino.
Kuyo wayelobe ukuthi, “U-Uriya mbeke kuviyo eliphambili lapho impi evutha khona kakhulu. Lapho-ke khumukani kuye ukuze acakazelwe phansi afe.”
16 Higeno Joapu'a hara nehuno negegeno ha'mo'ma ra higeno, hanave ha' vahe'mo'zama ha'ma nehaza kaziga Uriana avrentegeno hara hu'ne.
Ngakho kwathi uJowabi idolobho eselivimbezele, wabeka u-Uriya lapho ayesazi khona ukuthi yikho okwakulabavikeli abalamandla kakhulu.
17 Hagi rankuma agu'afinti vahe'ma e'za hara eme huzmante'za mago'a Deviti sondia vahera zamahage'za frizageno, anampina Hiti ne' Urianena ahegeno fri'ne.
Kwathi abantu bakulelodolobho sebephumile ukuba balwe loJowabi, abanye babantu ebuthweni likaDavida bafa; u-Uriya umHithi laye futhi wafa.
18 Ana higeno Joapu'a ana miko'zama ha'pima fore'ma hiazana kema erino vu vahe huzmantege'za Devitina ome asami'naze.
UJowabi wathumela uDavida umbiko opheleleyo ngempi.
19 Hagi Joapu'a kema erino vu vahera hunteno, Ama miko'zama fore'ma hia zamofo nanekea kini nera asami vagaro.
Walaya isithunywa wathi: “Lapho usuqedile ukwethulela inkosi umbiko wempi,
20 Hagi agra arimpama ahesigeno'a, amanage hugahie, nahigeta rankuma keginamofo tavaontera vu'naze? Zamagrama kuma keginamofo agofetuti'ma kevema tamahesaza zana tamagra ontahi'nazo?
ulaka lwenkosi lungavutha, ibe isibuza isithi, ‘Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka ledolobho ukuba lilwe? Kalazanga yini ukuthi kade bengatshoka imitshoko besemdulini?
21 Hagi ko'ma Abimelekinte'ma fore'ma hu'nea zana tamagekaninefi? Hagi Abimeleki'a Gidioni nemofokino, Tebesi kuma'mofo tava'onte oti'negeno, mago a'mo ku'ma keginamofo agofetu oti'neno witima refuzafu nepaza ra havenu erino ahegeno fri'ne. E'ina hu'negu nahigeta tamagra ana kegina tava'ontera vu'naze? Huno kini ne'mo'ma kantahigesigenka, anampina Uria'ene fri'ne hunka asamio.
Ngubani obulele u-Abhimelekhi indodana kaJerubhi-Bheshethi na? Owesifazane obephezu komduli kamjikijelanga ngembokodo, wayafela eThebhezi na? Kungani lisondele eduzane kangaka lomduli?’ Ingakubuza lokhu, uthi kuyo, ‘Lenceku yakho u-Uriya umHithi ifile.’”
22 Higeno ana kema erino vu vahe'mo'a vu'ne. Hagi ana miko kema Joapu'ma huntea kea Devitina eme asami vagare'ne.
Isithunywa sasuka sahamba, kwathi sesifikile samtshela uDavida konke uJowabi ayesithume ukuba siyekutsho.
23 Hagi ana eri'za nemo'a Devitina asamino, Ko agupofi hara hanavetiza eme hurante'nazanagi tagra inene huta rankuma'mofo kafante hara huta vu'none.
Isithunywa sathi kuDavida, “Abantu basikhulele, baphuma bazasihlasela etshatshalazini, kodwa sibadudulele emuva entubeni yedolobho.
24 Hagi mago'a Amoni sondia vahe'mo'za kuma keginamofo agofetu manine'za kevereti tahazage'za kini ne'moka mago'a eri'za vaheka'a fri'naze. Hagi anampina Hiti ne' eri'za neka'a Uria'a fri'ne.
Lapho-ke abemitshoko batshoke izinceku zakho besemdulini, kwathi abanye abantu benkosi bafa. Lenceku yakho, u-Uriya umHithi ifile.”
25 Hagi Deviti'a kema erino vu'nea nera asamino, Joapuna asamigeno ama ana zankura agesa ontahino, na'ankure mago ne'mo'a hapima fri'nia zana antahino keno osu'negu, ome asamigeno hanavetino hara nehuno, ana kumara erino. Amama kasamua kereti azeri hankanavetio.
UDavida watshela isithunywa wathi, “Yitsho lokhu kuJowabi: ‘Ungakhathazwa yilokhu; inkemba idla omunye njengoba isidla omunye. Qinisa ukuhlasela idolobho, ulichithe.’ Yitsho lokhu ukuba umise isibindi uJowabi.”
26 Hagi Uria nenaro'ma antahiama nevema hapima ahe'naze higeno'a, asunku huno zavi ate'ne.
Kwathi umka-Uriya esezwile ukuthi umkakhe usefile, wamlilela.
27 Hagi asunku'ma huvaregeno'a, Deviti'a huzamantege'za ana ara avre'za ageno a' avrentegeno mani'neno ne' mofavre kasente'ne. Hianagi Deviti'ma hu'nea zankura Ra Anumzamo'a musena osu'ne.
Kwathi isikhathi sokulila sesiphelile, uDavida wamletha endlini yakhe, wasesiba ngumkakhe wamzalela indodana. Kodwa into eyenziwa nguDavida yathukuthelisa uThixo.
