< 2 Samue 5 >
1 Hagi miko Israeli naga nofi'mo'za Hebroni kumate Devitinte e'za anage hu'naze, Tagra mago kora mani'nonanki ko.
Zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli zaya kuDavida eHebhroni zathi, “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
2 Hagi kote'ma Soli'ma tagri kinima mani'negenka kagra sondia vahete kva mani'nenka, hatera zamavarenka vunka enka nehankeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra sipisipima kegava hiaza hunka Israeli vahete kva mani'nenka, Israeli vahe'ni'a kegava huzmantegahane hu'ne.
Esikhathini esedlulayo, uSawuli eseseyinkosi yethu, wena nguwe owawukhokhela u-Israyeli emkhankasweni wakhe wezimpi. LoThixo wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uzakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo uzakuba ngumbusi wabo.’”
3 Hagi mika Israeli ranra kva vahe'mo'za Devitima kenaku Hebronima ageno'a, Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofo avure zamagranema knare'ma hu'za manisazanke huvempa hige'za, masave frente'za Israeli kini ne' azeri oti'naze.
Kwathi abadala bonke bako-Israyeli sebefikile enkosini uDavida eHebhroni, inkosi yenza isivumelwano labo eHebhroni phambi kukaThixo, basebegcoba uDavida ukuba abe yinkosi ko-Israyeli.
4 Hagi Deviti'a 30'a kafu hu'neno kinia efore hu'neankino, 40'a kafufi kinia manino kegava hu'ne.
UDavida waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
5 Hagi Hebronima mani'neno'a, 7ni'a kafugi 6'a ikampi Juda vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi Jerusalemima emani'neno'a 33'a kafufi maka Israeli vahete'ene Juda vahetera kinia manino kegava huzmante'ne.
EHebhroni wabusa uJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa lezinyanga eziyisithupha, kwathi eJerusalema wabusa u-Israyeli wonke loJuda iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu.
6 Hagi henka kini ne' Deviti'a Jebusi vahe ha' huzamantenaku sondia vahe zamavarege'za Jerusalemi vu'naze. Hagi anante'ma uhanatizage'za Jebusi vahe'mo'za Devitina kiza zokago ke hunte'za anage hu'naze, Zamagama haviza hu vahe'mo'zane zamavu asuhu vahe'mo'za kama vanana kana renkani regante'sagenka kagra amafina omegahane. Hagi zamagrama antahi'zana Devitinkura kumatia taheno ohaneregahie hu'za hu'naze.
Inkosi labantu bayo baya eJerusalema ukuyahlasela amaJebusi ayehlala khona. AmaJebusi athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha; leziphofu labaqhulayo bangakuvimba.” Acabanga athi, “UDavida angeke angene lapha.”
7 Hianagi ana kezamimo'a amne zankna higeno, Deviti'a Saioni rankumara ha' huno eri'nege'za menina ana rankumakura Deviti rankumare hu'za nehaze.
Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
8 Hagi anama ha'ma hu'naza zupa Deviti'a sondia vahe'a zmasamino, zamagia haviza huno, zamavu asuhu Jebusi vahekura nagu'areti hu'na nagote'zamantoe. Hagi ana rankumapima tima avre'za vu'naza kampinti rankumapina ufreta, ana zamavu havizahu vahe'ene, zamaga havizahu vahera zamaheta kumazamia eri haviza hugahune. Hagi zamaga haviza huno, zamavu suhu vahere huno'ma Deviti'ma hu'nea kegu, menina zamaga havizahu, zamavu asuhu vahe'mo'za kini ne'mofo nompina uofregahaze hu'za nehaze.
Ngalolosuku uDavida wathi, “Lowo onqoba amaJebusi kuzamele asebenzise umgelo wamanzi ukuba afinyelele ‘abaqhulayo leziphofu’ labo abayizitha zikaDavida.” Yikho-nje besithi, “Iziphofu labaqhulayo” kabayikungena esigodlweni.
9 Hagi Deviti'a ana rankuma'ma ome erino Saionima unemanino'a, ana kumakura Deviti rankumare huno agi'a antemi'ne. Hagi ana kumamofo zage hanati kazigama urami eramima hu'nea kumara mopa kateno anteviteno kumara erira hu'ne.
UDavida wasehlala enqabeni waseyibiza ngokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida. Wakha enhlangothini zonke zayo kusukela emadundulwini ayelapho kusiya phakathi.
10 Hagi Deviti'a mago hihamu'ane ne' efore huno mani'ne. Na'ankure monafi ohampriga'a sondia vahetamimofo Anumzana Ra Anumzamo agrane mani'negeno'e.
Waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla wayelaye.
11 Hagi Tairi kini ne' Hiramu'a kema eri'zama vu vahete Devitina kea atrenenteno, Noma negiza vahe'ene, sida zafane, havereti'ma eri'zama e'neri'za vahe'ene Devitina noma'a kinteho hige'za eme kinte'naze.
Ngalesosikhathi uHiramu inkosi yaseThire wathuma izithunywa kuDavida zilezigodo zemisedari lababazi bamapulanka kanye lababazi bamatshe, bakhela uDavida isigodlo.
12 Hagi anazama fore hiaza Deviti'a negeno, tamage huno Israeli vahe'mokizmi kini manio huno Ra Anumzamo'a huhampri nante'ne huno antahi'ne.
UDavida wakwazi ukuthi uThixo wayembekile ukuba abe yinkosi yako-Israyeli wawuphakamisa lombuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli.
13 Hagi Deviti'ma Hebronima atreno Jerusalemima ne-eno'a, mago'a a'nea e'nerino, henka a'nea rama'a ome erino rama'a ne'mofara kasezmante'ne.
Esesukile eHebhroni uDavida wathatha abanye abafazi beceleni kanye labafazi eJerusalema, kwazalwa amanye amadodana lamadodakazi futhi.
14 Hagi Deviti'ma Jerusalemima mani'neno kasezamante'nea ne' mofavre zagaramimofo zamagi'a, Samuaki, Sobabiki, Neteniki, Solomoniki,
Nanka amabizo abantwana abazalelwa khona: uShamuwa, uShobabi, uNathani, uSolomoni,
15 Ibhariki, Elisuaki Nefekiki, Jafiaki,
u-Ibhari, u-Elishuwa, uNefegi, uJafiya,
16 Elisamaki, Eliadaki, Elifeleti'e.
u-Elishama, u-Eliyada kanye lo-Elifelethi.
17 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'zama antahizama Deviti'na Israeli vahe'mo'za masave frente'za kini azeri oti'naze hazankema nentahi'za, maka Filistia vahe'mo'za Devitina ha'hunte'naku mareri'za ome hake'naze. Hianagi Deviti'ma anankema nentahino'a, atreno uramino frama ki'zama nemaniza havegantega vu'ne.
Kwathi amaFilistiya esezwe ukuthi uDavida wayegcotshwe ukuba yinkosi yako-Israyeli wonke aphuma ehlome ephelele esiyamdinga, kodwa uDavida wakuzwa lokho wasesehlela enqabeni.
18 Hagi ana Filistia vahe'mo'za Refaimi agupofi emanimpi hu'naze.
AmaFilistiya ayesefikile njalo esegcwele eSigodini saseRefayi,
19 Hagi Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofo antahigeno, Nagra amane mareri'na Filistia vahera hara ome huzamantegahufi? Kagra ana vahera nazampina zamavarentegahano? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Izo Nagra Filistia vahera kagri kazampi zamavarentegahuanki amne marerio.
ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo wathi, “Ngingayawahlasela amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela kimi na?” UThixo wamphendula wathi, “Hamba, ngoba impela amaFilistiya ngizawanikela kuwe.”
20 Higeno Deviti'a marerino Ba'al-Perazimi kumate Filistia vahera hara eme huzamanteno, hara huzamagatere'ne. Ana'ma huteno Deviti'a anage hu'ne, Tima hageno mika'zama eri harafi'ma huno eviankna huno Ra Anumzamo'a ha' vahe'ni'a zamahe panani hu'ne. Ana hu'negu ana kumamofo agi'a Ba'al Perazimie hu'za nehaze.
Ngakho uDavida waya eBhali Pherazimi, lapho awehlula khona. Wathi, “Njengamanzi efohla, uThixo ufohlele ezitheni zami phambi kwami.” Ngakho leyondawo yasibizwa ngokuthi yiBhali Pherazimi.
21 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'zama nefre'za havi anumzantamina atre'za frage'za, Deviti'ene sondi'a naga'amo'za ana zantamina ome eri'za vu'naze.
AmaFilistiya abaleka atshiya izithombe zawo khonapho, uDavida labantu bakhe bazithatha bahamba lazo.
22 Hagi mago'agna evutegeno, Filistia vahe'mo'za Refaimi agupofi e'za hahunaku emanimpi hu'naze.
AmaFilistiya aphinda njalo abuya, agcwala eSigodini saseRefayi;
23 Hagi mago'ane Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Na'a huzamantegahue, higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, zamavugatira hara huozmantenka, zamefiti zamavazagi kagitenka balsama zafa avo'nomofo avuga hara huzamanto.
ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo, yena waphendula wathi, “Ungayi uqondile, kodwa bhoda ngemva kwawo uwahlasele maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu.
24 Hagi kagrama balsama zafa amumpafintima antahisankeno rama'a vahe agazamofo agasasa knama hanigenka, nentahisunka kagra ame hunka ha' ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'na nagra'a vugota hu'na Filistia vahera zamahegahue.
Kuzakuthi lapho usizwa izisinde zabahambayo ezihlahleni zebhalisamu, uqhubeke ngokuphangisa, ngoba lokho kuzakutsho ukuthi uThixo usehambe phambi kwakho ukuyahlasela amabutho amaFilistiya.”
25 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma anama huo huno'ma hunteaza huno Deviti'a Filistia vahera Gibionitira zamaheteno vuvava huno Gezeri kumate uhanati'ne.
Ngakho uDavida wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo, njalo amaFilistiya wawacakazela phansi umango wonke kusukela eGibhiyoni kusiya eGezeri.
