Hagi agra tare donkifi 200'a breti konagi, fiki raga 100'a konagi, ante hagage hu'nea waini raga'a 100'a konagi huno erineno meme afumofo akru'are tro hu'naza tintafempi waini tina erino emani'ne.
Kwathi uDavida esehambe ibanga elifitshane ngale kwenqongo, wabona uZibha, isikhonzi sikaMefibhoshethi, elindele ukumhlangabeza, elodwendwe lwabobabhemi ababotshelwe izihlalo bethwele izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, ikhulu lamakhekhe ezithelo ezonyisiweyo, ikhulu lamakhekhe omkhiwa kanye lomgodla wewayini.
2 Hagi kini ne Deviti'a Sibana antahigeno, amazana na'a hu'zane? Higeno Siba'a kenona huno, ama donki afutrena naga kamo'za zanagumpi mani'za vugahaze. Hagi bretine zafa raganena venenemo'za negahaze. Hagi ama waini tina hagage kopima nevanageno tamavresrama hanigeta negahaze.
Inkosi yabuza uZibha yathi, “Ukuletheleni lokhu na?” UZibha waphendula wathi, “Obabhemi ngabendlu yenkosi ukuba bagade, izinkwa lezithelo ngokwabantu ukuba badle, iwayini ngelokuqaqabula labo abaphela amandla enkangala.”
3 Hagi kini ne'mo ete antahigeno, inantega kva vahekamofo negeho Mefiboseti'a mani'ne? Higeno Siba'a huno, Agra agesama antahiana menina negeho kini trara namigahaze huno Jerusalemi mani'ne.
Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Indodana yendodana yenkosi yakho ingaphi na?” UZibha wathi kuyo, “Ihlezi eJerusalema, ngoba icabanga ithi, ‘Lamhla indlu ka-Israyeli izangibuyisela umbuso kababamkhulu.’”
4 Hagi kini ne'mo'a Sibana asamino, E'i menina maka Mefiboseti zantamina ete'na kagri kamue. Higeno Siba'a kenona huno, kini ne' ranimoka kagri'ma kavesisia zana amne hugahue.
Inkosi yasisithi kuZibha, “Konke okwakungokuka Mefibhoshethi khathesi sekungokwakho.” UZibha wathi, “Ngikhothama ngokuzithoba. Sengathi ngingathola umusa emehlweni akho mhlekazi wami, nkosi.”
5 Hagi anama hute'za kini ne'mo'a Bahurimi kumate'ma vigeno, mago ne'mo tutagiha hunte'ne. Ana nera Soli nagapinti ne' Gera nemofo Simeikino ne-eno Devitina kesuno e'ne.
Kwathi Inkosi uDavida efika eBhahurimi, umuntu wosendo lunye labendlu kaSawuli, waphuma evela lapho. Ibizo lakhe lalinguShimeyi indodana kaGera, njalo waphuma esethuka.
6 Hagi Simei'a have knonu matevuno Devitina neheno, mika Deviti'enema vu'naza vahera nezamaheno, Devitima kegavama hunte'za kanti kamama vu'naza avate hanave sondia vahe'enena zamahe'ne.
Wajikijela uDavida lezikhulu zonke zenkosi ngamatshe, lanxa amabutho wonke labalindi abakhethiweyo babengakwesokudla lakwesokhohlo kukaDavida.
7 Hagi Simei'a Devitima kema nesuno'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra vahe ahe fri vava hunka vahe kora eri taginka haviza hu'nana vahe mani'nananki, amafintira maniganenka vuo.
Ekuthukeni kwakhe uShimeyi wathi, “Phuma, phuma, wena wegazi, wena sixhwali!
8 Hagi kagra Soli naga'ma zamahe frinka, Soli kini trama eri'nana zante menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nona hunegante. Hagi menina negamofo Absalomu kini eri'zana hanare amigenka, frenka ne'ane. Na'ankure kagra vahe zamahe frinka vahe kora eritagi ne' mani'nanku, e'inahu hazenkea eri'ne.
UThixo usephindisele kuwe ngenxa yegazi lonke owalichithayo kwabendlu kaSawuli, wena osubusa esikhundleni sakhe. UThixo umbuso usewunike indodana yakho u-Abhisalomu. Wena usudilikile ngoba ungumuntu wegazi!”
9 Anante Zeruia nemofo Abisai'a kini ne' asamino, nahigeno ami fri'nea kramo'a kini ne'moka e'inahu kea kasuno ne-e! Natrege'na ome ahena agenopa akafri'neno.
Lapho-ke u-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya wathi enkosini, “Kungani inja efileyo le ithuka inkosi yami? Ngivumelani ngiyequma ikhanda layo.”
10 Hianagi kini ne'mo huno, Ra Anumzamo'ma huntenigeno huhavizama hunenante'na Zeruia nemofoga antahio, tagra magozana hugara osu'none.
Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Kuyini okulihlanganisa lami, lina madodana kaZeruya? Nxa ethuka ngenxa yokuthi uThixo uthe kuye, ‘Mthuke uDavida,’ ngubani ongabuza ukuthi, ‘Lokhu ukwenzelani na?’”
11 Anante Deviti'a Abisaine mika eri'za vahe'anena zamasamino, Nagra'ama kasente'noa mofavremo Absalomu'ma nahe'za nehanigeno'a, Benzameni naga'mo'za amane nahegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamo asamigeno nehianki, mago'zana osu atrenkeno huhavizana hunanteno.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhishayi lakuzo zonke izikhulu zakhe, “Indodana yami, eyinyama yami, izama ukungibulala. Pho umBhenjamini lo-ke! Myekeleni enjalo; yekelani athuke, ngoba uThixo umtshele ukuba enze njalo.
12 Hagi nagriku'ma haviza hunane huno'ma huhavizama hunanterera, Ra Anumzamo'a nenageno, Agra'a nona huno asomura hunante'nie.
Engxenye uThixo uzalubona usizi lwami angibuyisele okuhle ngenxa yokuthukwa engikwenziwayo lamhla.”
13 Hagi Deviti'ene naga'amo'za nevazageno Simei'a anagami kaziga nevuno, Devitina kea nesuno kugusopa kateno avufina netreno have kanona atreno aheno vu'ne.
Ngakho uDavida labantu bonke waqhubeka elandela umgwaqo uShimeyi yena ehamba eyame intaba maqondana laye, ehamba elokhu ethuka njalo emjikijela ngamatshe emthela langengcekeza.
14 Hagi kini ne'ene agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za zamavaresra hige'za Jodani tinte unehanati'za anante umanigasa hu'naze.
Inkosi labantu bayo bafika lapho ababesiya khona sebediniwe. Kulapho abaphumula khona.
15 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a, Absalomu'ene maka eri'za vahe'anema Jerusalema ehanati'zageno'a Ahitofeli'a agrane e'ne.
Ngalesosikhathi, u-Abhisalomu labantu bonke bako-Israyeli bafika eJerusalema, lo-Ahithofeli wayelaye.
16 Hagi Deviti rone'a Akati kumateti ne' Husai'a Absalomuna eme tutagiha hunteno anage hu'ne, Kini nera kagra zazate kinia manigahane!
Lapho-ke uHushayi umʼArikhi, umngane kaDavida, waya ku-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “Impilo ende nkosi! Impilo ende nkosi!”
17 Hianagi Absalomu'a Husaina antahigeno, Deviti nefuga mani'nananki, kagra nahigenka agranena ovu mani'nane? E'i knare kavukvara negafuna huontane.
U-Abhisalomu wabuza uHushayi wathi, “Lolu yilo uthando olutshengisa umngane wakho na? Kungani ungahambanga lomngane wakho na?”
18 Higeno Husai'a kenona huno, Ra Anumzamo'ene maka Israeli vahe'mo'za huhamprintesaza kini nemofo agoraga nagra manigahue.
UHushayi wathi ku-Abhisalomu, “Hayi, lowo okhethwe nguThixo, langabantu laba, labantu bonke bako-Israyeli ngizakuba ngowakhe, njalo ngizahlala laye.
19 Hagi nagra negafa antahintahima ami eri'za vahe mani'noankna hu'na kagri eri'za vahe manigahue.
Phezu kwalokho, ngubani engingamkhonza na? Akumelanga ngikhonze indodana na? Njengoba ngakhonza uyihlo, kanjalo ngizakukhonza.”
20 Hagi Absalomu'a Ahitofelina asamino, Na'a hugahumpi antahi'zana namio.
U-Abhisalomu wasesithi ku-Ahithofeli, “Ake useluleke. Kuyini esingakwenza na?”
21 Higeno Ahitofeli'a Absalomuna hunteno, negafana henka a'nezaga'ane umaso. Na'ankure agra nonku'ma kegava hanazegu zamatreno vu'ne. E'inama hananke'za Israeli vahe'mo'za antahisu'za, tamage hunka negafana ha'renentane nehu'za, kagranema mani'naza vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za kagritega antegahaze.
U-Ahithofeli waphendula wathi, “Lala labafazi bakayihlo abaseceleni abatshiya belinde isigodlo. Lapho-ke u-Israyeli wonke uzakuzwa ukuthi wena usuzenze waba liphunga elibi emakhaleni kayihlo, njalo izandla zabantu bonke abalawe zizaqiniswa.”
22 Higeno nomofo agofetu seli no Absalomuna kintageno, nefama zamatreno vu'nea a'nenea mika Israeli vahe zamavuga zamanteno mase'ne. (2 Samuel 12:11-12.)
Ngakho u-Abhisalomu bamisela ithente phezu kophahla lwendlu, walala labafazi bakayise beceleni u-Israyeli wonke ekhangele.
23 Hagi ana knafina Ahitofeli'a Ra Anumzamofontegati'ma antahintahima erinoma hiankna ke nehigeno Absalomu'a kote'ma Deviti'ma hu'neankna huno amagera ante'ne.
Ngalezonsuku iseluleko sika-Ahithofeli, sasifana lesalowo obuze uNkulunkulu. Lokho kwaba yiyo indlela uDavida lo-Abhisalomu abakhangela ngayo zonke izeluleko zika-Ahithofeli.
