1 Hagi ana knazama fore'ma hutegeno, Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Nagra knare Juda vahe'mokizmi mago rankumapina vugahufi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Umarerio higeno Deviti'a mago'ane antahigeno, Ina kumate nagra vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Hebroni vugahane.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uDavida wabuza uThixo wathi, “Ngingaya yini kwelinye lamadolobho akoJuda na?” UThixo wathi, “Hamba.” UDavida wabuza wathi, “Ngiye ngaphi na?” UThixo waphendula wathi, “EHebhroni.”
2 Higeno Deviti'a tare a'trema'a Jezrieli kumateti a' Ahinoamune, Karmeli kumate ne' Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea Abigeline nezanavreno vu'ne.
Ngakho uDavida waya khonale labafazi bakhe ababili, u-Ahinowama waseJezerili lo-Abhigeli, umfelokazi kaNabhali waseKhameli.
3 Hagi Deviti'a agranema mani'naza vene'nene, a'mofavre'zaminena zamavarege'za magoka mareri'za Hebroni kumate megagi'nea kumatamimpi umani'naze.
UDavida wathatha amadoda ayelaye, leyo laleyo labendlu yayo, bayahlala eHebhroni lasemizini yakhona.
4 Hagi anantega umani'nazage'za, Juda vahe'mo'za e'za Devitina masavena eme tagi'za frenente'za Juda vahe kinia azeri oti'naze. Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asamiza, Jabesh-Giliat vahe'mo'za Soli avufga eri'za ome asente'naze.
Ngakho abantu bakoJuda bafika eHebhroni bamgcobela khona uDavida ukuba yinkosi yendlu kaJuda. Kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ukuthi abantu baseJabheshi Giliyadi yibo ababengcwabe uSawuli,
5 Hazageno Deviti'a Jabes-Giliati vahetega kema erino vu vahera anage huno huzmante'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a knare tamavutamava huta rankvatamimofo Soli avufgama erisentazarera, asomu huramante'nie.
wathuma izithunywa ebantwini baseJabheshi Giliyadi ukuba bayekuthi kubo, “UThixo kalibusise ngokubonakalisa umusa lo kuSawuli inkosi yenu ngokumgcwaba.
6 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a vagaore avesizanteti avesineramantena, knare tamavu'tamava'ma hazarera nagranena tamagrira knare navu'nava huramantegahue.
Sengathi khathesi uThixo angalitshengisa umusa lokwethembeka, njalo lami futhi ngizalitshengisa lona lolothando ngoba lenze lokhu.
7 E'ina hu'negu menina tamagra oti hanavenetita, koro osu hanavetita maniho. Na'ankure rantimo Soli'a hago frigeno, Juda vahe'mo'za kini maninka kegava huranto hu'za masave frenante'za kinia nazeri oti'naze.
Khathesi-ke qinani libe lesibindi, ngoba uSawuli inkosi yenu usefile, njalo indlu yakoJuda isigcobe mina ukuba yinkosi yabo.”
8 Hu'neanagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Soli sondia vahete kva ne' Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-bosetina avreno Mahanaimi kumate vu'ne.
Ngalesisikhathi, u-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, umlawuli webutho likaSawuli, wayethethe u-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli wamletha ngaseMahanayimi.
9 Hagi ana kumatega agra huama huno, Giliati vahete'ene, Asuri vahete'ene, Jezrili vahete'ene, Efraemi vahete'ene, Benzameni vahete'ene Asuri mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene mika Israeli vahe kini manisie huno Is-bosetina azeri oti'ne.
Wamenza waba yinkosi yaseGiliyadi, e-Ashuri kanye leJezerili, eyako-Efrayimi, lakoBhenjamini kanye lo-Israyeli wonke.
10 Hagi Soli nemofo Is-boseti'a 40'a kafu hu'neno, Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra Mahanaimi mani'neno tare kafufi kini eri'zana eri'ne. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Deviti amage ante'naze.
U-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eleminyaka engamatshumi amane ubudala bakhe, njalo wabusa iminyaka emibili. Kodwa indlu kaJuda yalandela uDavida.
11 Hagi Deviti'a Hebroni kumara rankuma'a tro huno mani'neno, 7ni'a kafugi 6'a ikampi Hebroni kumatera Juda vahe kinia mani'ne.
Isikhathi uDavida eyinkosi yendlu yakoJuda eHebhroni saba yiminyaka eyisikhombisa lezinyanga eziyisithupha.
12 Hagi Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-boseti eri'za vahetami nezamavareno, Mahanaimi kumara atreno Gibeoni kumate vu'ne.
U-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, ekanye labantu baka-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli, basuka eMahanayimi baya eGibhiyoni.
13 Hagi anama nehiana Zeruia nemofo Joapu'a Deviti sondia vahera nezamavareno Gibeoni tinkerire ome tutagiha huzmante'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za ana tirumofo kantugama umani emani hu'naze.
UJowabi indodana kaZeruya kanye labantu bakaDavida baphuma bayahlangana labo echibini laseGibhiyoni. Elinye ixuku lahlala phansi ngakwelinye icele lechibi kwathi elinye lalo ixuku lahlala ngakwelinye icele.
14 Anante Abna'a Joapuna asamino, Nehazaveramina hanunke'za zamazankno ha' hanaze huno higeno Joapu'a ana kerera, knarere huno hu'ne.
U-Abhineri wasesithi kuJowabi, “Ezinye zezinsizwa kazisukume zilwe mathupha phambi kwethu.” UJowabi wathi, “Kulungile, kazikwenze lokho.”
15 Higeno 12fu'a vahera Benzameni nagapinti vahe Soli nemofo Is-boseti kaziga huhamprintageno, Deviti sondia vahepintira 12fu'a vahe huhampri zamante'naze.
Ngakho zasukuma zabalwa, abantu abalitshumi lambili bakoBhenjamini ngaku-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli letshumi lambili abakoDavida.
16 Hagi ana'ma hutage'za ana vahe'mo'za zamazeri zamente hute'za, ha'hu'za bainati kazinteti zamasoparega orefri are fri hu'za tarega kaziga vahe'mo'za ufrinte efrinte maka'mo'za hu'naze. Ana hu'nagu e'i ana Gibioni kumakura, bainati kumare hu'za nehaze.
Indoda ngayinye yabamba lowo eyayisilwa laye ngekhanda yatshonisa inkemba yayo emhlubulweni walowo eyayisilwa laye, bawela phansi bonke. Ngakho indawo leyo eGibhiyoni yathiwa yiHelikhathi Hazurimi.
17 Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra higeno, Deviti sondia vahe'ene, Abna sondia vahe enena ra ha nehazageno, Deviti naga'mo'za ana hara huzamagatere'naze.
Impi ngalolosuku yayinzima, njalo u-Abhineri labantu bako-Israyeli behlulwa ngabantu bakaDavida.
18 Hagi ana hapina 3'a Jeruia mofavrezaga, Joapuki, Abisaiki, Asaheliki hu'za Deviti sondia vahera mani'naze. Hagi Asaheli'a dia afukna hu'neankino, agamareno vaniana ame huno vugahie.
Amadodana amathathu kaZeruya ayekhona: uJowabi, lo-Abhishayi kanye lo-Asaheli. U-Asaheli wayelejubane njengomziki.
19 Ana hu'negu Asaheli'a keganti kegama osu Abnana rotago huno nevigeno,
Waxotshana lo-Abhineri, engaphambukeli kwesokudla loba kwesenxele lapho emxhuma.
20 Abna'a freno nevifinti rukrehe huno, Kagra Asaheligo? Higeno agra kenona huno, Izo nagre.
U-Abhineri wakhangela emuva kwakhe wabuza wathi, “Kanti nguwe, Asaheli?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Yimi.”
21 Higeno Abna'a anage huno asami'ne, Rukrahe hunka mago'a sondia vahe zamahenka ha'zazmia erio, hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ananke'a ontahi rotago huno vu'ne.
U-Abhineri wasesithi kuye, “Phambukela eceleni kwesokudla loba kwesenxele; ubambe enye yezinsizwa uyithathele izikhali zayo.” Kodwa u-Asaheli kayekelanga ukuxotshana laye.
22 Ana higeno Abna'a Asahelina asamino, Narotogoa osunka natrenka vuo. Hagi anama osanankena kagri'ma kahezankura navesra hie. Hagi kagri'ma kahesu'na nankna hu'na negafu Joapu avurera vugahue?
U-Abhineri wamxwayisa futhi wathi, “Yekela ukuxotshana lami. Kungani kumele ngikulahle phansi na? Ngingamkhangela njani ebusweni umfowethu uJowabi na?”
23 Hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ana ke'a ontahino, rotago huno vigeno Abna'a krugru keve'areti regeno amagenafinti uhanatigeno, anante frino traka hu'nege'za maka sondia vahe'mo'zama anante'ma ne-eza eme oti'naze.
Kodwa u-Asaheli wala ukuyekela ukuxotshana laye; ngakho u-Abhineri wamgwaza esiswini ngomcijo womkhonto wakhe, umkhonto waze wayathutsha emhlane wakhe. Wawela khonapho, wafela khonapho. Amadoda afika ema nxa efika endaweni lapho u-Asaheli ayewe wafela kuyo.
24 Hianagi anama hige'nea Joapuke Abisaikea zagema ufre'zama nehigekea Abnana rotago huke, Gia tavaonte Amae nehaza agonare zage hanati kaziga Gibeoni ka'ma kokantega vu'nea kante e'na'e.
Kodwa uJowabi lo-Abhishayi baxotshana lo-Abhineri, kwathi ilanga selitshona bafika eqaqeni lwase-Ama, eduzane leGiya endleleni yenkangala yaseGibhiyoni.
25 Anante Benzameni nagapinti vahe'mo'za omeri atru hu'za eri mago hute'za, Abna amagenare hu'za mago agonare ha' hunaku oti'naze.
Lapho-ke abantu bakoBhenjamini bema ngemva kuka-Abhineri. Benza ixuku bayajama phezu koqaqa.
26 Hagi Abna'a Joapuna ke'zanke humino, tagra amanara huta hara huvava huta vugahupi? Henka ra knazampima ufresuna zankura kenka antahinkara nosampi? Hagi nankna zupa sondia vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za zamafuhe'ima zamarotagoma nehaza zana atregahaze?
U-Abhineri wabiza uJowabi wathi, “Kanti inkemba sekumele idle kokuphela na? Kawuboni ukuthi kuzaphetha kabuhlungu na? Koze kube nini phambi kokuba ulaye abantu bakho ukuba bayekele ukuxotshana labafowabo na?”
27 Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Tamage mani'nea Anumzamofo avufi kasamuanki, kagra e'inahu kea osantesina nagri vahe'mo'za tamarotago huvava hu'za nevazageno masa hisine.
UJowabi waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso njengoba uNkulunkulu ekhona, aluba kawukhulumanga, amadoda la abezaxotshana labafowabo kuze kube sekuseni.”
28 Hagi anante Joapu'a ufe rege'za zamarotagoma nehaza vahe'mo'za umani'za, mago'ane hara osu'naze.
Ngakho uJowabi watshaya icilongo, bonke abantu bakhe basebesima, kabasaxotshananga lo-Israyeli, kumbe babuye balwe futhi.
29 Hagi ana kenageke Abna'a sondia vahe'ane Araba vu'za Jodani agupofi vute'za, ti rakahe'za Bitroni vute'za, Mahanaim uhanati'naze.
Ngalobobusuku bonke u-Abhineri labantu bakhe bahamba badabula i-Arabha. Bachapha iJodani, baqhubeka bedabula iBhethironi yonke baze bayafika eMahanayimi.
30 Hagi Joapu'ma Abnama rotagoma nehiretira atreno, vuno sondia vahetamina ome zamazeri atru huno keana, Asaheli'ene 19ni'a Deviti sondia vahera omani'nazageno ke'ne.
UJowabi waphenduka ekuxotshaneni lo-Abhineri wasebuthanisa abantu bakhe bonke. Ngaphandle kuka-Asaheli abantu bakaDavida abalitshumi lasificamunwemunye batholakala bengekho.
31 Hianagi Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za, Abna sondia vahe'ma Benzameni naga'ma e'nazana 360'a vahe zamahe'naze.
Kodwa abantu bakaDavida babebulele abakoBhenjamini ababelo-Abhineri abangamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi ayisithupha.
32 Hagi Abna'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Asaheli avufga eri'za nefama asente'naza havegampi Betlehemu ome asente'naze. Ana hute'za Joapu'ene agranema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke eva eva hu'za, Hebroni ehanatizageno kora eme atumasa hu'ne.
Bathatha u-Asaheli bayamngcwaba ethuneni likayise eBhethilehema. Emva kwalokho uJowabi labantu bakhe bahamba ubusuku bonke bafika eHebhroni emadabukakusa.
