1 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno Absalomu'a mago karisine hosi afu'ene nevreno, vugotama hunte'za kegavama hu'za vu vahera 50'a mizasezmanteno huzamantege'za vugota hu'naze.

Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi u-Abhisalomu wazidingela inqola yempi lamabhiza kanye labantu abangamatshumi amahlanu ukuba ngabagijima phambi kwakhe.

2 Hagi mika zupa nanterame otino rankumapi ufre'nea kante umani'neno, kini ne'mo'ma knaza zamima eri fatgo huzmantenigu'ma vaza vahera, Absalomu'a zamantahigeno, Tamagra ina kumapinti vahere huno zamantahigege'za, tagra Israeli nagapinti vahere hazageno'a,

Wayevuka ekuseni kakhulu ame eceleni komgwaqo oya esangweni ledolobho. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofikayo ukuyamangala icala enkosini ukuba liqunywe, u-Abhisalomu wayembiza athi, “Wena uvela kuliphi idolobho?” Wayephendula athi, “Inceku yakho ivela kwesinye sezizwana zako-Israyeli.”

3 ana kema antahiteno'a Absalomu'a amanage hu'ne, Keho knazantamia amne eri fatgo hugahianagi, kini ne'mo'a kema refko'ma hu' eri'zana mago vahera omi'neankino, ketamia refko osugahie.

Lapho-ke u-Abhisalomu wayesithi kuye, “Khangela, okufunayo kuqondile njalo kufanele, kodwa akulammeli wenkosi ukuba akuzwe.”

4 Hagi Absalomu'a huno, Nagrama ke refko hu kva vahe manisuge'za, vahe'mo'za knaza zamia eri'za nagrite esage'na fatgo hu'na kezamia refko hugahue.

U-Abhisalomu wayeqhubeka athi, “Sekuze kungathi ngabe ngabekwa ukuba ngumahluleli elizweni! Loba ngubani olensolo kumbe icala wayezakuza kimi ngibone ukuthi wahlulelwa kuhle.”

5 Hagi mago'a vahe'ma enevu'za eme kepri'ma humiza nehazageno'a, Absalomu'a zamazante zamavazu hugantiteno zamantako huzmante'ne.

Njalo kwakusithi umuntu angafika kuye akhothamele phansi phambi kwakhe, u-Abhisalomu wayeselula isandla sakhe ambambe amange.

6 Hagi Absolomu'a e'inahu avu'ava'ma hia zamo mika Israeli vahe zamagu'a avazuhu agrarega zmante'ne.

U-Abhisalomu waziphatha ngale indlela kubo bonke abako-Israyeli abaya enkosini ukuyacela ukwahlulelwa kuhle, ngalokho wakhanga inhliziyo zabantu abanengi ko-Israyeli.

7 Hagi 4'a kafu evutegeno Absalomu'a kini nera asamino, natrege'na Hebroni vu'na huvempama hu'nore Ra Anumzamofontega ome ofa huntaneno.

Ekupheleni kweminyaka emine, u-Abhisalomu wathi enkosini, “Ngisake ngiye eHebhroni ukuyagcwalisa isifungo engasenzayo kuThixo.

8 Na'ankure Aramia kaziga Geshuri'ma mani'ne'na huvempa hu'na Ra Anumzamo'ma natrenige'na ete Jerusalemi kumate'ma vanu'na, Hebroni kumate monora ome huntegahue hu'na hu'noe.

Inceku yakho isahlala eGeshuri e-Aramu, yenza isifungo lesi: ‘Nxa uThixo engangibuyisela eJerusalema ngizamkhonza uThixo eHebhroni.’”

9 Hagi kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, Kagra krimpa frune vunka, huvempama hu'nana kemofona omeri knare huo, higeno Absalomu'a Hebroni vu'ne.

Inkosi yathi kuye, “Hamba ngokuthula.” Ngakho waya eHebhroni.

10 Hianagi anantega umani'neno, Absalomu'a kema erino vuno eno hu vahera huzamanteno anage hu'ne, Maka Israeli vahetamima mani'nazarega vuta amanage ome hiho, ufema resageta mikomota kezanke huta, Absalomu'a kinia Hebroni kumate efore hu'ne huta hiho.

Emva kwalokho u-Abhisalomu wathuma izithunywa ezifihlakeleyo kuzozonke izizwana zako-Israyeli ukuba zithi, “Lingezwa nje ukukhala kwecilongo, tshonini lithi, ‘U-Abhisalomu uyinkosi eHebhroni!’”

11 Hagi agra 200'a vahe Israelitira nezamavareno vu'neanagi, na'ante zamavareno vu'ne zamagra ke'za antahiza osu'naze.

Abantu abangamakhulu amabili baseJerusalema babehambe lo-Abhisalomu. Babenxuswe njengezethekeli njalo behambe bekhululekile, bengazi lutho ngendaba leyo.

12 Hagi Absalomu'a ofama nehuno'a mago'a vahe huzamantege'za Gilo kumateti ne' Ahitofelina ome avre'za e'naze. Hagi Ahitofeli'a Devitima knare antahizama nemiza vahepinti mago zami'mo'e. Hagi Absalomu kazigama vaza vahe'mo'za rama'a hu'naze.

U-Abhisalomu esanikela imihlatshelo, wabiza u-Ahithofeli umGiloni, umeluleki kaDavida, ukuba eze evela eGilo, umuzi wakibo. Ngalokho icebo lomvukela laqina, labalandeli baka-Abhisalomu baqhubeka besanda.

13 Hagi kema eri'za vu vahe'mo'za e'za kini ne' Devitina eme asami'za, Rama'a vahe'mo'za Absalomuna avariri'za kini azeri oti'za nehaze.

Kwafika isithunywa kuDavida sathi, “Inhliziyo zabantu bako-Israyeli ziku-Abhisalomu.”

14 Hazageno Deviti'a agranema Jerusalemi mani'naza eri'za vahera zamazeri atru huno anage huno zamasmi'ne, Ru Absalomu'a mika tamagri'ene nagri'ene tahe vagaresigi ame huta Jerusalemi kumara atreta fresune. Hagi anama osanunkeno'a ame hu'za Absalomu naga'mo'za eza eme nerahe'za, ama kumapi vahe'enena zamahe vagaregahaze.

UDavida wasesithi kuzozonke izikhulu zakhe ezazilaye eJerusalema, “Wozani! Kumele sibaleke, hlezi kungabi lamunye wethu ozaphepha ku-Abhisalomu. Kumele sisuke masinyane hlezi asixhume alethe incithakalo kithi njalo ahlasele idolobho ngenkemba.”

15 Hagi kini nemofo eri'za vahe'mo'za hu'za, kini ne'mokama hana kea erizafa hugahune.

Izikhulu zenkosi zaphendula zathi, “Izinceku zakho zilungele ukwenza loba yini umhlekazi wethu inkosi akukhethayo.”

16 Hige'za kini ne'ene eri'za vahe'amo'za atre'za vu'naze. Hagi kini ne'mo'a 10ni'a henka ane'a zaga'a huzamantege'za kuma'a kegava hu'za mani'naze.

Inkosi yaphuma labendlu yayo bonke beyilandela; kodwa yatshiya abafazi beceleni abalitshumi ukuba bagcine isigodlo.

17 Hagi kini ne'ene mika Jerusalemi kuma'ma atre'za atirami'za nehu'za, ana kumamofo refarega mago no me'nere umani'naze.

Ngakho inkosi yasuka, labantu bonke beyilandela, basebesima endaweni elibanga elithize.

18 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a ome oti'nege'za, naga'amo'za vugota hazageno, mika Kereti vahe'ma, Paleti kumateti vahe'ma, Getiti'ma Deviti'enema e'naza 600'a vahe'mo'zanena agatere'za vu'naze.

Bonke abantu bayo bayedlula, ndawonye lawo wonke amaKherethi lamaPhelethi, kanye lawo wonke amaGithi angamakhulu ayisithupha ayehambe layo kusukela eGathi ahamba phambi kwenkosi.

19 Hagi kini ne'mo Geti vahe'mokizmi kva ne' Itaina asamino, nahigeta tamagra tagranena neaze? Rurega vahe tagrane emani'nazanki, ete vuta kasefa kini ne' Absalomu'ene umaniho.

Inkosi yasisithi ku-Ithayi umGithi, “Kungani uhamba lathi na? Buyela emuva uyehlala lenkosi u-Abhisalomu. Wena ungumuntu wezizweni, owaxotshwayo elizweni lakini.

20 Hagi tamagra kofa'a knafi tagranena emani'nazanki, tagrane vu'za nehazo? Hagi sondia vaheka'a nezamavarenka ete viho. Na'ankure tagra iga vugahune ontahi'none. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a knare huno asunku huneramanteno fatgo avu'ava huramanteno kegava huramantesie.

Ufike izolo nje. Kambe sekungathi lamhla lokhu ngikwenze uzulazule lathi, mina ngingakwazi lalapho engingaya khona? Buyela emuva uthathe abantu bakini. Sengathi uThixo angakwenzela umusa lokuhle.”

21 Hianagi Itai'a kenona huno, Kini ne' ranimoka kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifi tamage hu'na huanki, kagrama kasefa hunka mani'nenka inantegama vananana kagrane nevanunkeno, kagri'ma kahe frisuza tagri'enena tahe frigahaze.

Kodwa u-Ithayi wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, njalo njengoba umhlekazi wami inkosi, ephila, loba kungaphi lapho umhlekazi wami inkosi ezakuba ikhona, loba kusitsho ukuphila kumbe ukufa, inceku yakho izakuba khonapho.”

22 Hagi Deviti'a Itaianku huno, Knareki eviho, hige'za sondia vahe'ane mika a'mofavre zamine vu'naze.

UDavida wasesithi ku-Ithayi, “Qhubeka, hamba.” Ngakho u-Ithayi umGithi wahamba labantu bakhe bonke kanye lezimuli ezazilaye.

23 Hagi Deviti'ene naga'anema nevage'za, maka Jerusalemi vahe'mo'za tusi zavi atezmante'naze. Hagi kini ne'mo'a Kitroni krahopi nevige'za, maka vahe'mo'za hagege ka'ma kokampima vu'nea kantega vu'naze.

Ilizwe lonke lakhala kakhulu lapho abantu bonke besedlula. Inkosi yachapha isiHotsha saseKhidironi, abantu bonke bahamba beqonde enkangala.

24 Hagi Zadoku'ene agranema mani'naza Livae naga'mo'za Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za eme antageno, Abiata'a ofa nehige'za, miko vahe'mo'za rankumara atre'za vu vagare'naze.

UZadokhi laye wayekhona, labaLevi bonke ababelaye babethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, njalo u-Abhiyathari wanikela imihlatshelo abantu bonke baze baphela ukusuka edolobheni.

25 Hagi Deviti'a Jadokina asamino, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia ete erinka rankuma agu'a ufro. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma arimpa fruma hunantesuno'a, Agra natrenige'na ete e'na huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eme nege'na, seli mono nonena eme kegahue.

Inkosi yasisithi kuZadokhi, “Buyisela ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu edolobheni. Ngingathola umusa emehlweni kaThixo, uzangibuyisela emuva enze ukuba ngilibone futhi kanye lendawo yakhe yokuhlala.

26 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma musema huonantesuno'a, Agri'ma avesi'niaza hunantesie.

Kodwa angathi, ‘Kangithokozi ngawe,’ lapho-ke ngizilungisele; kenze kimi loba kuyini okukhanya kulungile kuye.”

27 Hagi Deviti'a pristi ne' Zadokina asamino, Amanahu antahintahi reraro hue, kagra kasnampa ne' mani'nanku kagrane ne' mofavreka'a Ahimane, Abiata nemofo Jonataninena zamavarenka tamarimpa frune rankuma agu'afi ete ufreho.

Inkosi yabuya yathi kuZadokhi umphristi, “Uyazwisisa na? Buyela emuva edolobheni ngokuthula, lendodana yakho u-Ahimazi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari. Wena lo-Abhiyathari hambani lamadodana enu.

28 Hagi nagra hagege kopi vu'na tima taka nehare ome tamavega ante'na mani'negahuanki, Jerusalemima fore'ma hania zamofo nanekea atrenantenke'za, anantega eme nasamiho.

Mina ngizakuma emazibukweni enkangala kuze kufike ilizwi elivela kini lingazisa.”

29 Higeno Zadoki'ene Abiatakea Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisie erike, ete Jerusalemi rankumapi ufre'ne umani'na'e.

Ngakho uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari balibuyisela eJerusalema ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lahlala khona.

30 Hianagi Deviti'a tusi zavi neteno Olivi agonare mareri'ne. Hagi agra zamasunku'ma nehu'za nehazaza huno, asenirera refineteno agia nona ovazi aga avapa vu'ne. Hagi agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za ana zanke hu'za zamasenirera refi'nete'za zavi ateme agona mareri'naze.

Kodwa uDavida waqhubeka ekhwela iNtaba yama-Oliva, ehamba ekhala; ikhanda lakhe lalimboziwe njalo ebhadula ngezinyawo. Bonke abantu ababelaye labo bamboza amakhanda abo njalo bakhwela bekhala.

31 Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asami'za, Ahitofeli'a Absolamuntega ante, hu'za hazageno Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofonte nunamu huno, Ra Anumzamoka Ahitofelina azeri havia hugeno, neginagi antahintahi Absalomuna amino.

UDavida wayetshelwe ukuthi, “U-Ahithofeli uphakathi kwabahlamuki lo-Abhisalomu.” Ngakho uDavida wakhuleka wathi, “Oh, Thixo phendula ukululeka kuka-Ahithofeli kube yibuthutha.”

32 Hagi vu'zama agonafima mono'ma nehazare uhanati'zageno'a, Devitina nefu Akaiati ne' Husai'a zamasunku avu'ava'ma nehazaza huno kukena'a tagato nehu'na, kugusopa kateno anumpi nefreno, anante eme tutagiha hunte'ne.

Kwathi uDavida esefikile engqongeni, lapho abantu ababejayele ukukhonzela khona uNkulunkulu, uHushayi umʼArikhi wayekhonapho ukuba amhlangabeze, isembatho sakhe sidabukile njalo elothuli ekhanda.

33 Hagi anante Deviti'a asamino, Kagrama nagranema vananana kna namigahane.

UDavida wathi kuye, “Ungahamba lami, uzakuba ngumthwalo onzima kimi.

34 Hianagi ete rankumapi vunka Absalomuna ome asmio, kini ne'moka negafa eri'za vahe korapara mani'noanki'na menina kagri eri'za vahe manigahue hunka ome nehunka, antahintahia amigeno Ahitofeli antahintahia eri atregahie.

Kodwa nxa ubuyela edolobheni uyekuthi ku-Abhisalomu, ‘Ngizakuba yinceku yakho, awu nkosi, ngangiyinceku kayihlo kudala, kodwa khathesi ngizakuba yinceku yakho,’ lapho-ke ungangisiza ngokufubisa izeluleko zika-Ahithofeli.

35 Hagi pristi netre Zadoki'ene Abiatakea kagrane Jerusalemi manigaha'e. Hagi kini ne' nompima nanekema retro'ma hanaza nanekea, maka zanagri zanasamio.

Abaphristi uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari kabayikuba khonale lawe na? Batshele konke okuzwayo esigodlweni senkosi.

36 Hagi zanagra mofavre'zani'a Jonatanine, Ahimasakizni huznantenageke kagrama mika kema zanasami'nana kea eme nasamigaha'e.

Amadodana abo amabili, u-Ahimazi indodana kaZadokhi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari, akhonale kanye labo. Bathumele kimi ngakho konke okuzwayo.”

37 Hagi Deviti nefu Husai'a Deviti'ma hianke antahino, ete kumapi unefregeno Absolamuenena Jerusalemi kumapina ufre'ne.

Ngakho umngane kaDavida uHushayi wafika eJerusalema khonapho u-Abhisalomu laye engena edolobheni.
