Kwasekusithi emva kwalokhu uAbisalomu wazilungisela izinqola lamabhiza, labantu abangamatshumi amahlanu begijima 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,

UAbisalomu wayesevuka ekuseni kakhulu eme eceleni kwendlela yesango; kwakusithi wonke umuntu olecala lomthetho eliya enkosini ukwahlulelwa, uAbisalomu ambize athi: Ungowawuphi umuzi? Lapho esithi: Inceku yakho ingowesinye sezizwe zakoIsrayeli;

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.

uAbisalomu abesesithi kuye: Bona, indaba zakho zinhle zilungile, kodwa kakho owenkosi ukuthi 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.

UAbisalomu abesesithi: Kungathi ngabe ngibekwe umahluleli elizweni, ukuthi wonke umuntu olecala lomthetho lodaba angeza kimi, njalo bengizamlungisela.

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

Kwakusithi lapho kusondela umuntu ukumkhothamela, elule isandla sakhe, ambambe, amange.

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

UAbisalomu wasesenza ngalindlela kuIsrayeli wonke, bona abeza enkosini ukwahlulelwa; ngalokho uAbisalomu wathumba inhliziyo yamadoda akoIsrayeli.

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

Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane uAbisalomu wathi enkosini: Ake ngiyekhokha isithembiso sami engasithembisa eNkosini eHebroni.

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.

Ngoba inceku yakho yathembisa isithembiso ngisahlala eGeshuri eSiriya ngisithi: Uba iNkosi ingibuyisela lokungibuyisela eJerusalema, ngizayikhonza iNkosi.

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 yasisithi kuye: Hamba ngokuthula. Wasesukuma waya eHebroni.

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.

Kodwa uAbisalomu wathuma izinhloli ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli esithi: Lapho lisizwa ukukhala kophondo, lizakuthi: UAbisalomu uyinkosi eHebroni!

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

Kwasekuhamba loAbisalomu amadoda angamakhulu amabili esuka eJerusalema, anxusiweyo, ahamba ebuqothweni bawo, njalo engazi lutho.

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.

UAbisalomu wasethumela wabiza uAhithofeli weGilo, umeluleki kaDavida, esuka emzini wakhe, eGilo, esahlaba imihlatshelo. Njalo ugobe lwaqina, labantu bahamba banda kuAbisalomu.

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.

Kwasekufika isithunywa kuDavida, sisithi: Inhliziyo yabantu bakoIsrayeli ilandela uAbisalomu.

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.

Wasesithi uDavida ezincekwini zakhe zonke ezazilaye eJerusalema: Sukumani, sibaleke, ngoba kasilakuphepha ebusweni bukaAbisalomu. Phangisani ukuhamba, hlezi aphangise asifice, asehlisele okubi, atshaye umuzi ngobukhali benkemba.

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

Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi enkosini: Njengakho konke inkosi, inkosi yami, ekukhethayo, khangela, nanzi inceku zakho.

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.

Yasiphuma inkosi, layo yonke indlu yayo iyilandela. Inkosi yasitshiya abafazi abalitshumi, abafazi abancane, ukuze balinde indlu.

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

Yasiphuma inkosi, labo bonke abantu beyilandela; bema endlini ekhatshana.

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.

Lazo zonke inceku zayo zedlula eceleni kwayo, njalo wonke amaKerethi lawo wonke amaPelethi lawo wonke amaGiti, amadoda angamakhulu ayisithupha, eza amlandela evela eGati, edlula 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 kuIthayi umGiti: Lawe uhambelani lathi? Buyela uhlale lenkosi, ngoba ungowezizweni njalo ungumxotshwa endaweni yakho.

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; pho, lamuhla ngikuzulazulise ngokuhamba lathi, njengoba ngiya lapho engiya khona? Buyela ubuyisele abafowenu. Umusa leqiniso kakube lawe.

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 uIthayi wayiphendula inkosi wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, njalo kuphila kwenkosi yami, inkosi, isibili kuleyondawo lapho inkosi yami, inkosi, ezakuba kiyo, loba kusekufeni loba kusekuphileni, lalapho izakuba khona inceku yakho.

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

UDavida wasesithi kuIthayi: Hamba, uchaphe. UIthayi umGiti wasechapha kanye labantu bakhe bonke labantwanyana ababelaye.

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 inyembezi ngelizwi elikhulu, njalo abantu bonke bachapha. Inkosi yasichapha isifula iKidroni, labantu bonke bachapha, ngasendleleni yenkangala.

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.

Njalo khangela, uZadoki laye lawo wonke amaLevi elaye, bethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bawubeka phansi umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu; uAbhiyatha wasesenyuka, abantu bonke baze baphela ukudlula bephuma emzini.

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 kuZadoki: Buyisela umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu emzini. Uba ngizathola umusa emehlweni eNkosi, izangibuyisa ingitshengise wona kanye lendawo yayo yokuhlala.

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

Kodwa uba isitsho njalo, ithi: Kangithokozi ngawe; khangela ngilapha, kayenze kimi njengokuhle emehlweni ayo.

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 yasisithi kuZadoki umpristi: Ungumboni yini? Buyela emzini ngokuthula, loAhimahazi indodana yakho loJonathani indodana kaAbhiyatha, amadodana enu womabili elani.

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.

Bona, ngizalinda emazibukweni enkangala, kuze kufike ilizwi elivela kini lokungibikela.

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

Ngakho uZadoki loAbhiyatha bawubuyisela umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, bahlala 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.

UDavida wasesenyuka ngomqanso wemihlwathi, esenyuka ekhala inyembezi, embomboze ikhanda lakhe, wahamba engelamanyathela; labo bonke abantu ababelaye bambomboza, ngulowo lalowo ikhanda lakhe, benyuka, besenyuka bekhala inyembezi.

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.

Kwasekubikwa kuDavida kwathiwa: UAhithofeli uphakathi kwabakugobe loAbisalomu. UDavida wasesithi: Nkosi, ake enze icebo likaAhithofeli libe 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.

Kwasekusithi uDavida esefike engqongeni lapho ayekhonza khona uNkulunkulu, khangela, uHushayi umArki wamhlangabeza, isembatho sakhe sidatshuliwe, lenhlabathi isekhanda lakhe.

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

UDavida wasesithi kuye: Uba usedlula lami, uzakuba ngumthwalo 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 uba ubuyela emzini uthi kuAbisalomu: Ngizakuba yinceku yakho, nkosi; kade ngiyinceku kayihlo, kodwa khathesi sengizakuba yinceku yakho; khona uzangichithela icebo likaAhithofeli.

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

Njalo kabakho yini kanye lawe lapho oZadoki loAbhiyatha abapristi? Ngakho kuzakuthi yonke indaba oyizwayo endlini yenkosi, uyitshele oZadoki loAbhiyatha abapristi.

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

Khangela, kukhona lapho kanye labo amadodana abo amabili, uAhimahazi okaZadoki, loJonathani okaAbhiyatha; njalo uzathumela ngesandla sabo kimi yonke into ozayizwa.

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

UHushayi umngane kaDavida wasefika emzini, loAbisalomu wafika eJerusalema.
