Njalo lithi ku-Amasa, ‘Wena kawusinyama yami legazi lami na? Sengathi uNkulunkulu angangijezisa, kube kanzima kakhulu, nxa ungasuye mlawuli webutho lami esikhundleni sikaJowabi, kusukela khathesi.’”
14 Hagi Juda nagara Deviti'ma hiankemo zamagu'a zamazeri rukrehe hige'za, Devitina kea atrente'za, kagrane maka sondia vahekane ete Jerusalemi eho.

16 Hagi Gera nemofo Simei'a Benzameni nagapinti nekino Devitima eme negeno'a, mago'a Juda naga'ene kini ne' Devitintega ame hu'za urami'naze.
UShimeyi indodana kaGera, umBhenjamini waseBhahurimi, wehla ngokuphangisa labantu bakoJuda ukuyahlangabeza inkosi uDavida.

20 Hagi antahio, nagra kefo navu'nava hu'na kumi hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu mika Josefe nagapintira nagra egota hu'na eme hufrufra hugantoe.
Ngoba mina nceku yakho ngiyakwazi ukuthi ngenza isono, kodwa lamhla ngize lapha njengowakuqala kuyo yonke indlu kaJosefa ukuzahlangabeza umhlekazi wami, inkosi.”
21 Hagi Zerua nemofo Abisai'a amanage huno hu'ne, Nahigenka Anumzamo'ma huhamprinte'nea ra nera huhavizana hu'nane? Hagi Simeiga frigahane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nea kini nera huhaviza hunte'nane.
Lapho-ke u-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya wathi, “UShimeyi akumelanga abulawe ngenxa yalokhu na? Wathuka ogcotshiweyo kaThixo.”
22 Higeno Deviti'a Abisaikiznine Joapukiznia amanage huno kenona hu'ne, ama tanagri' zana omne'ne. Hagi na'a higeta nagrira kehara hunenanta'e? Ama'na kna vahe ahefri kna omaneneanki, muse hukna me'ne. Na'ankure nagra menina Israeli vahe kini mani'noanki, mago vahera zamahe ofrigahaze.
UDavida waphendula wathi, “Kuyini lina lami esihlanganyela kukho, lina madodana kaZeruya? Ngalelilanga lina selibe yizitha zami! Kufanele kube lomuntu obulawayo ko-Israyeli lamhla na? Kangazi yini ukuthi lamhla ngiyinkosi yako-Israyeli?”
23 Hagi Deviti'a rukarehe huno Simeina anage huno asami'ne, onkahegahue.
Ngakho inkosi yathi kuShimeyi, “Kawuyikufa.” Njalo inkosi yamthembisa ngokufunga.

UMefibhoshethi, indodana yendodana kaSawuli, laye wehla ukuyahlangabeza inkosi. Wayengazigezanga inyawo zakhe kumbe agele indevu zakhe loba agezise izigqoko zakhe kusukela ngelanga inkosi eyasuka ngalo kwaze kwaba lilanga eyabuya ngalo isindile.
25 Hagi Mefiboseti'ma kini ne'ma eme tutagiha huntegeno'a, kini ne'mo agenoka huno, Kagra nahigenka nagranena ovu'nane?
Esefikile evela eJerusalema ukuzahlangabeza inkosi, inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kungani ungahambanga lami, Mefibhoshethi?”
26 Higeno agra kenona huno, ranimoka kagra antahi'nane, nagria nagiamo'a haviza hu'ne. Hagi Jerusalema atrenka vana zupa donkini'a azeri retro hunantenke'na va'neno hu'na eri'za vaheni'gu huana, anara osu'za renavatga hu'naze.
Yena wathi, “Mhlekazi wami, nkosi, njengoba mina nceku yakho ngiqhula, ngathi, ‘Ngizabophela isihlalo kubabhemi wami ngigade phezu kwaso, ukuze ngihambe lenkosi yami.’ Kodwa uZibha inceku yami wangikhohlisa.

Njalo usehlinikeze inceku yakho kuwe mhlekazi nkosi yami. Mhlekazi wami, inkosi injengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; ngakho yenza lokho okukuthokozisayo.
28 Hagi kagra nenfa nagara maka tahe frintesine. Hianagi kagra nagrane ne'zana eme no hunka hanke'na, kagrane ne'zana ne'noe. Hagi ranimoka na'ante mago'a zankura kagrira kantahige'na erigahue.
Bonke abenzalo kababamkhulu kabafanelanga lutho kodwa ukubulawa ngumhlekazi wami inkosi, kodwa inceku yakho uyiphe indawo phakathi kwalabo abadla etafuleni lakho. Ngakho ngilelungelo bani lokukhalaza njalo enkosini?”
29 Hagi Deviti'a ana kemofo nona'a huno, Hago rama'a keaga hananki tagano. Soli mopa kagrane Siba'ene amu'nompinti refko huta erigaha'e.
Inkosi yathi kuye, “Usakhulumelani okunye? Ngiyalilaya wena loZibha ukuba lahlukaniselane amasimu.”
30 Hagi Mefiboseti'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Agrake Siba'a ana maka'zana erino. Hagi kagrama mago hazenkema e'orinka knare'ma hunka kumate'ma anazankura nagra muse hue.
UMefibhoshethi wathi enkosini, “Kathathe konke, njengoba khathesi umhlekazi wami usefikile ekhaya kungekho ngozi.”
31 Hagi Bazilai'a Gileati kazigati ne'kino Rogerimi kumateti Devitina kenaku eramino Jodani tinte eme tutagiha hunteno, kegava hunteno vu'ne.
UBhazilayi umGiliyadi laye wehla evela eRogelimi ukuyachapha iJodani elenkosi lokuyayivalelisela khona.
32 Hianagi Bazilai'a 80'a kafu huno ozafare'ne. Hagi agra feno nekino Deviti'ma Mahanamima umanigeno'a, kva hunteno upa'ma hia zana aza hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi'a feno ne' mani'negu anara hu'ne.
UBhazilayi wayesengumuntu omdala, eseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili. Wayenike inkosi ukudla ekuhlaleni kwayo eMahanayimi, ngoba wayengumuntu onothe kakhulu.
33 Anama higeno'a Deviti'a amanage huno Bazilaina asmi'ne, Tina takahenka nagrane Jerusalemi vananke'na, ome kegava hugantegahue.
Inkosi yathi kuBhazilayi, “Chaphela ngaphetsheya lami uyehlala lami eJerusalema ngizakupha okuswelayo.”
34 Hagi Bazilai'a kenona huno, ramoka, nagra na'ante Jerusalemia vugahue? Nagra ozafa re'noanki'na za'za kna ama mopafina omanigahue.
Kodwa uBhazilayi wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Mingaki eminye iminyaka engisezayiphila, ukuba ngiye eJerusalema lenkosi na?
35 Hagi nagra 80'a zagekafu hugeno, navufgamo'a so'e osu'ne. Hagi kave'ma nene'na e'iza nenoe hu'na haga'a nontahue. Hagi zagamema hu vahe'mo'zama zagamema nehazage'na, nagra antahi so'e nosue. Hagi kini ne'moka nagra eri'za vahekamo'na na'ante kna kamigahue.
Khathesi ngileminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ubudala. Ngingabe ngisawutsho yini umahluko phakathi kokuhle lokungekuhle na? Inceku yakho ingabe isakunambitha ekudlayo lekunathayo na? Ngingabe ngisawezwa amazwi abahlabeleli besilisa labesifazane na? Kungani inceku yakho kumele ibe ngomunye umthwalo njalo kumhlekazi wami, inkosi na?
36 Kini ne'moka kagrane Jodani tina takahe'na vugahuanagi, za'za kana ovugahuanki, kagra mago knare kavukva zana huonanto.
Inceku yakho izachaphela ngaphetsheya kweJodani lenkosi ummangwana omfitshane, pho kungani inkosi kumele ingiphe umvuzo ongaka na?
37 Hagi natrege'na ete nagra kuma'nirega vu'na ufri'nena, nenrera nenfa matipi ome asenanteho. Hagi ama'ne eri'za neka'a Kimhamu'a, atregeno kagrane tina takaheno vinkenka nazano nagri'ma hunante'naku'ma hanana zana, agri ome hunto.
Yekela inceku yakho ibuyele, ukuze ngiyefela emzini wakithi eduze lengcwaba likababa lomama. Kodwa nansi inceku yakho uKhimihami. Kachaphele ngaphetsheya lomhlekazi inkosi yami. Menzele lokho okukuthokozisayo.”
38 Hagi Deviti'a kenona huno, Nagra Kimhamu'na avrenugeno Jodani tina takaheno nevanige'na, kagri'ma kavesinia zana amne huntegahue.
Inkosi yasisithi, “UKhimihami uzachaphela ngaphetsheya lami, njalo ngizamenzela okukuthokozisayo. Njalo loba yini oyifuna kimi ngizakwenzela yona.”
39 Hagi mika vahe'mo'za Jodani tina takahe'za kantu kaziga vazageno'a Deviti'a Basilaina antako hunenteno asomu ke huntetegeno, ete kuma'arega vu'ne.
Ngakho abantu bonke bachapha iJodani, inkosi yasichaphela ngaphetsheya. Inkosi yamanga uBhazilayi yambusisa, uBhazilayi wasebuyela emzini wakhe.
40 Hagi Deviti'a Kimhamu'na avreno ete ti takaheno Gilgali nevige'za, mago'a Israeli vahe'ene sondia vahe'mo'za avega hu'za vu'naze.
Kwathi inkosi ichaphela eGiligali, uKhimihami wachapha layo. Wonke amabutho akoJuda lengxenye yamabutho ako-Israyeli ayeyichaphisile inkosi.
41 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Devitinte e'za amanage hu'naze, nahige'za Juda tafuhe'za katrazagenka, kagra'ene nagaka'anena Jodani tina takaheta neaze?
Masinyane bonke abantu bako-Israyeli baya enkosini bathi kuyo, “Kungani abafowethu, abantu bakoJuda, bentshontshe inkosi yethu bayisa ngaphetsheya kweJodani yona labendlu yayo kanye labantu bonke na?”
42 Hige'za Juda vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi ke nona'a hu'za, tamagria nahigeno tamasia nevazie? Tagra rankini nemofona, agri naga mani'none. Hianagi tagrira kini nemo'a mago zana amnea tamigeta nononkeno mago'zana amnea ontami'ne.
Bonke abantu bakoJuda baphendula abantu bako-Israyeli bathi, “Lokhu sikwenzile ngoba inkosi ilobuhlobo obuseduze kakhulu lathi. Kulicaphula ngani lokho? Sike sadla olunye ulutho lwenkosi na? Sike sazithathela enye into na?”
43 Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Juda vahe'mokizmi kenona hu'za, Tagra rama'a tamagrira tamagatereta 10ni'a naga nofi mani'nonankita, tagra rama'aza Devitimpintira erigahune. Hagi na'a hu'negeta e'inahu knara hunerantaze? Hagi tagra ese'zana ama kini nera ome avreta e'none. Hianagi Juda naga'mo'za mago'ane hanaveti'za Israeli nagara kehara rezamante'naze.
Abantu bako-Israyeli basebephendula abantu bakoJuda besithi, “Thina silezabelo ezilitshumi enkosini, njalo ngaphandle kwalokho thina silelungelo elikhulu kulelenu ngoDavida. Pho kungani lisidelela? Kasibanga ngabokuqala na ukukhuluma ngokubuyisa inkosi yethu?” Kodwa abantu bakoJuda baphendula ngamazwi alukhuni kakhulu kulawabantu bako-Israyeli.
