1 Ebyomumirembe 11

1 Isirayiri yenna ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, ne boogera nti, “Laba tuli ba mubiri gwo, na musaayi gwo.

Bonke abako-Israyeli baya kuDavida eHebhroni bafika bathi: “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.

2 Mu biro eby’edda, Sawulo bwe yali kabaka ggwe wakulembera Isirayiri mu ntalo. Era Mukama Katonda wo n’akugamba nti, ‘Ggwe olirabirira abantu bange Isirayiri, era oliba mukulembeze waabwe.’”

Esikhathini esedlulayo, lanxa uSawuli eseseyinkosi, wena nguwe owawukhokhela u-Israyeli emkhankasweni wezimpi. Njalo uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uzakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo uzakuba ngumbusi wabo.’”

3 Awo abakadde ba Isirayiri bonna ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Kabaka Dawudi e Kebbulooni, n’akola endagaano nabo e Kebbulooni mu maaso ga Mukama, era ne bafuka amafuta ku Dawudi okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, nga Mukama bwe yasuubiza mu kigambo kye ng’ayita mu Samwiri.

Kwathi abadala bonke bako-Israyeli sebefikile enkosini uDavida eHebhroni, wenza isivumelwano labo eHebhroni phambi kukaThixo, basebegcoba uDavida ukuba abe yinkosi ko-Israyeli, njengesithembiso sikaThixo asenza ngoSamuyeli.

4 Awo Dawudi ng’ali wamu n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne boolekera Yerusaalemi, ye Yebusi. Ne basangayo Abayebusi abaabeerangamu.

UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli baya eJerusalema (kusitsho iJebusi). AmaJebusi ayehlala khona

5 Abayebusi ne bagamba Dawudi nti, “Tojja kuyingira muno.” Naye Dawudi n’awamba ekigo kya Sayuuni, ky’ekibuga kya Dawudi.

athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha.” Kodwa lanxa kunjalo, uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.

6 Dawudi yali asuubizza nti, “Oyo anaakulembera okulumba Abayebusi, ye aliba Omuduumizi w’eggye omukulu.” Awo Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya n’abakulembera era n’aweebwa obukulu obwo.

UDavida wayethe, “Ozakhokhela ekuhlaseleni amaJebusi uzakuba nguMlawuli omkhulu wempi.” UJowabi indodana kaZeruya nguye owaqala ukuya khona, ngakho wazuza ubukhokheli.

7 Awo Dawudi n’abeeranga mu kigo, era ne kituumibwa Ekibuga kya Dawudi.

UDavida wasehlala enqabeni, yikho yathiwa ibizo lokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida.

8 N’azimba ekibuga okukyetooloola, okuva ku Miiro okutuukira ddala ku bbugwe w’ekibuga, ate Yowaabu ye n’addaabiriza ebitundu ebirala eby’ekibuga.

Wakha idolobho inxa zonke kusukela emadundulwini kuze kuyefinyelela emidulini ehonqolozeleyo, ngalesosikhathi uJowabi esakha evuselela umuzi.

9 Awo Dawudi ne yeeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi, kubanga Mukama ow’Eggye yali wamu naye.

UDavida waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla, ngoba uThixo uSomandla wayelaye.

10 Bano be baali abasajja abalwanyi abazira aba Dawudi, abaamuwagiranga ennyo mu bwakabaka bwe, wamu ne Isirayiri yenna okumufuulira ddala kabaka ow’enkalakkalira ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yasuubiza Isirayiri bwe kyali;

Lezi zinduna zamaqhawe kaDavida ezazimsekele ngokuqinileyo embusweni kanye laye wonke u-Israyeli, ukuba abe yinkosi, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo.

11 Bano be basajja ba Dawudi abalwanyi ab’amaanyi be yalina: Yasobeyamu Omukakumoni, eyali omukulu w’abaduumizi abasatu; era yayimusiza abasajja abalwanyi bisatu effumu lye bonna n’abatta mu lulumbagana lumu.

Lolu yiluhlu lwalawo maqhawe kaDavida: UJashobheyamu, umHakhimoni, wayengumlawuli wezikhulu; waphakamisela amadoda angamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, ababulalayo ekuhlaseleni kunye.

12 Eyamuddiriranga mu buyinza ye yali Eriyazaali mutabani wa Dodo Omwakowa, era nga y’omu ku baduumizi abasatu.

Yena elandelwa ngu-Eliyazari indodana kaDodo umʼAhohi omunye wamaqhawe amathathu.

13 Yali wamu ne Dawudi e Pasudawinimu, bwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde eyo okulwana, mu nnimiro eyalimu sayiri omungi, era abaserikale badduka Abafirisuuti.

WayeloDavida ePhasi Damimi, ekuhlomeni kwamaFilistiya elungiselela ukudibana empini. Endaweni ethile kwakulensimu yebhali, amabutho abaleka ebalekela amaFilistiya.

14 Naye baayimirira wakati mu nnimiro ne bagirwanirira, era ne batta Abafirisuuti, nga Mukama y’abawadde obuwanguzi.

Kodwa bona bema bajama phakathi kwensimu. Bayivikela bawabulala amaFilistiya, uThixo wabapha ukunqoba okukhulu.

15 Awo abasajja basatu ne balaga mu mpuku ya Adulamu omwali Dawudi, nga n’eggye ly’Abafirisuuti lisiisidde mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.

Izinduna ezintathu kwezingamatshumi amathathu zaya edwaleni kuDavida ebhalwini lwase-Adulami, ngalesosikhathi amanye amaFilistiya ayebuthene eSigodini saseRefayi.

16 Mu kiseera ekyo Dawudi yali mu kigo, nga n’eggye ly’Abafirisuuti liri e Besirekemu.

Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, iviyo lamabutho amaFilistiya laliseBhethilehema.

17 Dawudi n’ayagala amazzi, n’agamba nti, “Singa wabaddewo omuntu anfunira amazzi ag’okunywa ag’omu luzzi oluli okumpi ne wankaaki ya Besirekemu.”

UDavida womela amanzi wasesithi, “Oh, sengathi kungaba lomuntu ongangikhela amanzi okunatha emthonjeni oseduze lesango laseBhethilehema!”

18 Awo abasajja abazira abasatu ne bawaguza mu ggye ly’Abafirisuuti, ne basena amazzi okuva mu luzzi oluli okumpi ne wankaaki wa Besirekemu, era ne bagatwalira Dawudi. Naye Dawudi mu kifo ky’okuganywa yagawaayo ng’agafuka eri Mukama.

Ngakho abathathu laba badabula phakathi kweviyo lamaFilistiya bayakukha amanzi eduzane lesango laseBhethilehema bayawanika uDavida. Kodwa wala ukuwanatha, wakhetha ukuwathululela phambi kukaThixo.

19 N’agamba nti, “Nnyinza ntya okunywa omusaayi gw’abasajja bano, abawaddeyo obulamu bwabwe, okumpi n’okubufiirwa?” Olw’okuwaayo obulamu bwabwe okugaleeta, Dawudi yali tasobola kuganywa. Obwo nno bwe bwali obuzira bw’abasajja abo.

Wasesithi, “UNkulunkulu kangangivumeli ukukwenza lokhu! Kufanele yini ukuthi nginathe igazi lalababantu abanikele impilo yabo engozini bewaletha?” Ngoba babeka impilo zabo engozini bewaletha, uDavida kawanathanga. Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zalawomabutho womathathu.

20 Abisayi muganda wa Yowaabu ye yali omukulu w’abo abasatu, era oyo ye yayimusiza effumu abasajja abalwanyi bisatu era n’abatta, era kyeyava ayatiikirira mu basatu.

U-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi wayeyinduna yabaThathu labo. Waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu amathathu, ababulalayo, ngakho waba lodumo njengabaThathu.

21 Yali mwatiikirivu nnyo okusinga abasatu, aboolubereberye, era n’aba muduumizi waabwe, newaakubadde nga teyabalibwa ng’omu ku bakulu.

Waba lodumo oluphindwe kabili phezu kwalaba abaThathu waze waba ngumlawuli wabo, loba engazange abe phakathi kwabo.

22 Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada yali mulwanyi omuzira ow’e Kabuzeeri, eyakola ebyobuzira bingi, era n’okutta yatta abasajja ababiri abaali basingayo amaanyi mu Mowaabu. Ate era yakka mu bunnya mu biro eby’omuzira n’atta empologoma.

UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayeliqhawe elilesibindi laseKhabhizeli, elenza izenzo zobuqhawe obukhulu. Wabulala amaqhawe amaMowabi amabili ayezintshantshu ekulweni. Wake wangena emgodini wabulala isilwane mhla kulongqwaqwane.

23 Yatta Omumisiri omuwanvu ennyo eyali fuuti musanvu n’ekitundu. Newaakubadde nga Omumisiri yalina effumu eryenkana omuti ogulukirwako engoye, Benaya ye yagenda gyali ng’alina omuggo, era n’amuggyako effumu, n’alimuttisa.

Wabulala umGibhithe owayemude okwezingalo eyisikhombisa njalo eqatha. Lanxa umGibhithe wayephethe umkhonto esandleni kwakungani uphethe umkhonto onjengogodo lomaluki, uBhenayiya waqondana laye ngenduku. Wahluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe wambulala ngawo umkhonto wakhe.

24 Ebyo bye bimu ku byobuzira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada bye yakola, era naye n’ayatiikirira nga bali abasajja abasatu ab’amaanyi.

Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, laye futhi wayedume njengamaqhawe amathathu.

25 Yaweebwa ekitiibwa kya waggulu nnyo okusinga abakulu amakumi asatu, newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa lya bali abasatu. Era Dawudi yamufuula omukulu w’abambowa be.

Wayehlonitshwa kakhulu ukwedlula bonke abangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa wayengabalwa kanye labaThathu. UDavida wambeka ukuba abe ngumphathi wabalindi bakhe.
