1 Hagi mago'ane Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera arimpa ahenezamanteno, Devitina antahintahi amino Israeli vahe'ene Judia vahera nama'a mani'nafi ome hamprio hu'ne.
Lwaselubuya lwamvuthela uIsrayeli ulaka lukaJehova, wabavusela uDavida, esithi: Hamba ubale uIsrayeli loJuda.
2 Higeno kini ne'mo'a sondia vahete kva ne Joapuna hunteno, kagra ana mika Israeli naga'mokizmi nompi vunka noti kaziga Dani kumateti eri agafa hutenka, saoti kaziga Berseba kumate vunka vahera hamprige'na nama'a vahera mani'nazafi ke'na antahi'na ha'neno.
Ngakho inkosi yathi kuJowabi induna yebutho eyayilaye: Hamba khathesi ubhode ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli, kusukela koDani kuze kube seBherishebha, libale abantu ukuze ngazi inani labantu.
3 Hianagi Joapu'a kenona huno, Kini ne'moka nagri'ma navesiana Ra Anumzankamo'a vahera zamazeri rama'a hanige'za 100'a zupa rama'a hu'za amama mani'nazaza hu'za fore hanaze. Hagi anazama fore'ma haniazana kagra kasefa hunka mani'nenankeno fore huzanku nave'nesie. Hagi na'a agafare amanahu zana kagra hu'za nehane?
UJowabi wasesithi enkosini: Aluba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ingandisa ebantwini, loba bebanengi kangakanani, kuphindwe ngokulikhulu, ukuthi amehlo enkosi yami, inkosi, akubone. Kodwa inkosi yami, inkosi, ithokozelani kulinto?
4 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a ana ke'a refako huno onke ome hampriho hige'za Joapu'ene sondia vahe'mo'za vahe ome hamprinaku vu'naze.
Kodwa ilizwi lenkosi lalilamandla phezu kukaJowabi laphezu kwezinduna zebutho. Ngakho uJowabi lenduna zebutho baphuma phambi kwenkosi ukuze babale abantu, uIsrayeli.
5 Hagi zamagra Jodani tina takahe'za Aroeri kuma'mofo sauti kaziga agupofi seli no ome ki'za mani'ne'za Gati vu'za rugitagi'za Jazeri vu'naze.
Basebechapha iJordani, bamisa inkamba eAroweri, ngakwesokunene komuzi ophakathi kwesifula seGadi, lamaqondana leJazeri.
6 Hagi zamagra Giliati vute'za anantetira Hiti vahe mopafi Kadesi vu'za Dani ehanatite'za, Danitira rugagi'za Saidoni vu'naze.
Basebefika eGileyadi lelizweni leTahetimi-Hodishi; bafika eDani-Jahani, babhoda ngaseSidoni,
7 Anantetira rukrahe hu'za vihuma me'nea kumate Hivine Kenani kumate ete'za, henka sauti kaziga Judane Bersibanena vu'naze.
bafika enqabeni yeTire lemizini yonke yamaHivi leyamaKhanani; baphuma baya eningizimu yakoJuda, eBherishebha.
8 Hagi 9ni'a ikanki, 20'a zage knafi maka kaziga vano huza vahera hamprite'za ete Jerusalemi vu'naze.
Sebebhode badabula ilizwe lonke, bafika eJerusalema ekupheleni kwenyanga eziyisificamunwemunye lensuku ezingamatshumi amabili.
9 Hagi Joapu'a anama ome hampri'nea vahe'mokizmi kea Devitina asamino, Kazinteti'ma ha'ma huga vahera 800 tauseni'a Israeli vahepina manizageno, 500 tauseni'a vahe Juda nagapina mani'naze.
UJowabi waseyinika inkosi inani lokubalwa kwabantu; njalo kwakukhona koIsrayeli amaqhawe ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili ahwatsha inkemba; lamadoda akoJuda ayengamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
10 Hagi Deviti'a vahe'ma hamprite'noa arimpagna hu'ne. Ana huteno Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Nagra vahe'ma hampruana tusi'a kumi hu'noe. Hagi eri'za vahekamo'na nagra neginagi navu'nava hu'noanki kumini'a eri atrenanto.
Inhliziyo kaDavida yasimtshaya emva kokuthi esebale abantu. UDavida wasesithi eNkosini: Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo. Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, ngiyakuncenga, susa ububi benceku yakho, ngoba ngenze ngobuthutha obukhulu.
11 Hagi Deviti'a masenefinti anante nanterana otigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Deviti kasnampa ne Gatinte eno, anage huno kea atrenteno,
Kwathi uDavida esevukile ekuseni, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi kuGadi umprofethi, umboni kaDavida, lisithi:
12 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka Devitina ome asamio, Kazeri havizama hanua kea 3'a kankamumpi kasamiga huanki, anampinti mago'mofo huhamprige'na kazeri havizana ha'neno.
Hamba uthi kuDavida: Itsho njalo iNkosi ithi: Ngikubekela okuthathu; zikhethele okukodwa kukho, ukuthi ngikwenze kuwe.
13 Anage huno asamigeno Gati'a Devitina ome asamino, 7'a kafufi agatonto kna fore haniegu kavesifi? 3'a ikampi ha' vahe'mo'za ha'huramanteno kna tamisifi, 3'a zageknafi kria atrenugeno tamazeri haviza haniegu kavenesie? Hagi e'i anampinti mago knazamofo huhamprigena, anama hanamofo Ra Anumzamofona ome asamigahue.
UGadi wasefika kuDavida, wamtshela wathi kuye: Kufike kuwe yini iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala elizweni lakini? Loba ubalekele izitha zakho inyanga ezintathu zixotshana lawe? Ingabe kube khona umatshayabhuqe wesifo okwensuku ezintathu elizweni lakini? Khathesi cabanga, ubone ukuthi yimpendulo bani engizayibuyisela kongithumileyo.
14 Hagi Deviti'a Gatina asamino, nagra tusi'a narimpagna huanki, Ra Anumzana asunku Anumza mani'neanki atregeno nazano hunaku'ma hanuno'a, agra'a tazeri havizana hino. Hagi ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampina tavarente'na tazeri havizana osiho.
UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngicindezelekile kakhulu; ake siwele esandleni seNkosi, ngoba izisa zayo zinkulu, kodwa kangingaweli esandleni somuntu.
15 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a ana nanterana tusi'a hazenke atregeno 3'a zage knafi noti kaziga Daniti agafa huteno, vuno sauti kaziga Berseba vigeno ana maka mopafina 70 tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri vagare'ne.
Ngakho iNkosi yasibeka umatshayabhuqe wesifo kuIsrayeli, kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba sesikhathini esimisiweyo; kwasekusifa ebantwini abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa kusukela koDani kwaze kwaba seBherishebha.
16 Hagi vahe'ma zamahe fri ankeromo'ma Jerusalemi kuma'ma erihaviza hunaku retro nehigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a asunku nehuno, antahi'zama'a eri rukrahe huno, ana ankeroa asamino, kazana atro huno hu'ne. Ana zupa ko ankeromo'a Jerusalemi tavaonte Jebusi ne' Araunama witi akruma neharere mani'negeno anage hu'ne.
Lapho ingilosi iselulela isandla sayo eJerusalema ukuyibhubhisa, iNkosi yazisola ngalobobubi, yathi engilosini eyayibhubhisa abantu: Sekwanele. Khathesi finyeza isandla sakho. Ingilosi yeNkosi yayisebaleni lokubhulela likaArawuna umJebusi.
17 Hagi Devitima ankeromo'ma vahe'ma nezamahegeno negeno'a, anage huno Ra Anumzamofona asami'ne, Nagra'a kumira hu'na havi navunavara hu'noe. Hianagi ama'na vahe'mo'za sipisipigna huza kezmia omne'neanki nankna hazenke hu'nazagenka zamahe'za nehane? Muse hugantoanki nagri'ene nagani'ane tazeri haviza huo.
UDavida wasekhuluma eNkosini lapho ebona ingilosi eyayitshaya abantu, wathi: Khangela, mina ngonile, njalo mina ngenze okubi; pho, lezizimvu zenzeni? Isandla sakho ake simelane lami njalo simelane lendlu kababa.
18 Ana higeno Gati'a ana kna zupa Devitinte eno anage huno asami'ne, marerinka Jebusi ne'ma Arauna'ma witi akru'ma neharere Ra Anumzamofo kresramnavu ita ome retro huo.
UGadi wasefika kuDavida ngalolosuku, wathi kuye: Yenyuka, umisele iNkosi ilathi ebaleni lokubhulela likaArawuna umJebusi.
19 Anage higeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma Gati'ma asamia kante anteno anaza ome retro hunaku, Deviti'a marerino vu'ne.
UDavida wasesenyuka njengokutsho kukaGadi, njengokulaya kweNkosi.
20 Hagi Arauna'ma kegeno kini ne'mo'ene vahe'amozama agrama mani'neregama azageno'a, Arauna'a uramino kini ne'mofo avuga avugosaregati mopafi upri huno ra agi ami'ne.
UArawuna waselunguza, wabona inkosi lenceku zayo beqhubeka besiza kuye; uArawuna wasephuma wakhothama phambi kwenkosi ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini.
21 Ana huteno Arauna'a anage hu'ne, na'a higenka rana kini nemoka eri'za vaheka'monarega neane? Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, witi akaru'ma neharana mopa mizasena Ra Anumzamofontega Kresramanavu ita tro hanugeno, amama zamazeri haviza nehia hazenkea omnegahie.
UArawuna wasesithi: Kungani inkosi yami, inkosi, ize encekwini yayo? UDavida wasesithi: Ukuthi ngithenge kuwe ibala lokubhulela, ukuthi ngakhele iNkosi ilathi, ukuze inhlupheko ithinteke ingafiki ebantwini.
22 Anante anage huno Arauna'a Devitina asami'ne, ranimoka amne ama ana mopa erinka kagrama antahinankeno knare'ma haniazana hugahane. Hagi kresramna vu zana kaona megeno, rezahema huza witima refuzafunepaza zafane, kaomofo anankempima nentaza karenamare zafanena erinka tevea kregahane.
UArawuna wasesithi kuDavida: Inkosi yami, inkosi, kayithathe inikele lokho okuhle emehlweni ayo; bona, nanzi inkabi zomnikelo wokutshiswa, lezimbulo lezinto zenkabi kube zinkuni.
23 Hagi kini ne'moka ama mika zantamina nagra negamue, nehuno Arauna'a mago'ane anage huno kini nekura hu'ne, Ra Anumzana, kagri Anumzamo'a kagrama hanana ofarera muse nehuno antahigamisie.
Konke lokhu, nkosi, uArawuna wakunika inkosi; uArawuna wasesithi enkosini: INkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayikwemukele.
24 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a anage huno Araunana asami'ne, Nagra mizasena kagripintira erigahue. Hagi miza ose'nenua mopafina Ra Anumzana nagri Anumzamofona kre fanene hu ofa amnea huontegahue. Anage nehuno Deviti'a witima neharea mopane bulimakaonena 50'a silva zagoreti mizase'ne.
Inkosi yasisithi kuArawuna: Hatshi, kodwa ngizakuthenga lokukuthenga kuwe ngentengo; njalo kangiyikunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa engangibizanga lutho eNkosini uNkulunkulu wami. UDavida waselithenga ibala lokubhulela lezinkabi ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amahlanu.
25 Ana huteno Deviti'a anante kresramna vu ita tro huteno, kre fanene hu ofane, rimpa fru ofanena hu'ne. Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuzmia nentahino, ana mopafintira knazana eri amne hu'ne.
UDavida wasesakhela khona iNkosi ilathi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula. Ngakho iNkosi yancengeka ngelizwe, inhlupheko yasithinteka phezu kukaIsrayeli.
