1 Bassekabaka 2

1 Dawudi bwe yali anaatera okufa, n’abuulirira mutabani we Sulemaani ng’amukuutira nti,

Dawid rebewu no, ɔde adwuma hyɛɛ Salomo nsa sɛ:

2 “Nze ŋŋenda bonna ab’omu nsi gye bagenda, kale beera n’amaanyi era n’obuvumu,

“Merekɔ faako a ɛsɛ sɛ da bi ɔteasefo biara kɔ, enti yɛ den na kyerɛ wo mmaninyɛ,

3 era tambuliranga mu makubo ga Mukama Katonda wo ng’okwatanga ebiragiro bye, era okwatenga amateeka ge, n’ebiragiro bye n’ebyo by’ayagala, nga bwe byawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, olyoke obeerenga n’omukisa mu byonna by’onookolanga na buli gy’onoogendanga yonna.

na yɛ nea Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ sɛ woyɛ. Nantew nʼakwan so, na di ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara no mu no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛkɔ so wɔ biribiara a wobɛyɛ mu ne baabiara a wobɛkɔ nso.

4 Mukama anyweze ekisuubizo kye gye ndi nti, ‘Abaana bo bwe baneegenderezanga mu kkubo lyabwe, era bwe banaatambuliranga mu maaso gange mu mazima n’omutima gwabwe gwonna n’emmeeme yaabwe yonna, tewalibaawo muntu ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri atali wa mu zzadde lyo.’

Sɛ woyɛ eyi a na Awurade bedi ne bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ me no so se, ‘Sɛ wʼasefo hwɛ wɔn asetena, na wofi wɔn koma ne wɔn kra nyinaa mu nantew nokware mu wɔ mʼanim a, wɔn mu baako bɛtena Israel ahengua no so.’

5 “Ate ojjukiranga Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya kye yankola, bwe yatta abakulu ababiri ab’eggye lya Isirayiri, Abuneeri mutabani wa Neeri ne Amasa mutabani wa Yeseri n’ayiwa omusaayi gwabwe mu biseera eby’emirembe ng’eyali mu lutalo, era omusaayi gwabwe ne gumansukira olukoba lwe olwali mu kiwato n’engatto ze ezaali mu bigere bye.

“Wunim se Seruia babarima Yoab kum mʼakofo asahene baanu no a ɛyɛ Ner babarima Abner ne Yeter babarima Amasa no. Okunkum wɔn, hwiee wɔn mogya gui, asomdwoe bere mu a ɛnyɛ ɔko bere mu, na ɔde wɔn mogya kekaa nʼabɔso a ɛbɔ nʼasen mu ne ne mpaboa a ɛhyɛ ne nan so.

6 Kale muyise ng’okutegeera kwo bwe kuli, so tomuganyanga kukka emagombe mirembe mu bukadde bwe. (Sheol h7585)

Wo ne no nni, na mma no mfa ne ti dwen nkɔ ɔda mu asomdwoe mu. (Sheol h7585)

7 “Naye batabani ba Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi obakoleranga ebyekisa, era babenga ku abo abanaatuulanga ku mmeeza yo, kubanga baali wamu nange bwe nadduka Abusaalomu muganda wo.

“Na yɛ Barsilai a ofi Gilead no mmabarima adɔe, na ma wɔnka wɔn a wodidi wɔ wo didipon so no ho. Bere a miguan fii wo nuabarima Absalom ho no, wɔyɛɛ me adɔe.

8 “Era jjukira Simeeyi mutabani wa Gera Omubenyamini ow’e Bakulimu ali naawe, kubanga yankolimira mu ngeri enzibu ennyo, ku lunaku lwe nagenderako e Makanayimu. Kyokka bwe yaserengeta okunsisinkana ku Yoludaani ne mulayirira Mukama nti, ‘Sijja kukutta na kitala.’

“Kae Gera Benyaminni a ofi Bahurim no babarima Simei. Ɔdomee me denneennen, da a mereguan akɔ Mahanaim no. Na obehyiaa me wɔ Yordan no, mede Awurade din kaa ntam sɛ, Merenkum no.

9 Kaakano tomubala ng’ataliiko musango. Oli musajja w’amagezi, era olimanya ekirikugwanira okumukola; tomuganyanga okukka emagombe mu mirembe mu bukadde bwe.” (Sheol h7585)

Nanso ntam no mma onni bem. Woyɛ onyansafo na wubehu ɔkwan a wobɛfa so aka ne mogya agu.” (Sheol h7585)

10 Awo Dawudi ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi.

Na Dawid wui, na wosiee no wɔ Dawid kurom.

11 Yafugira Isirayiri yonna emyaka amakumi ana, ng’afugira emyaka musanvu e Kebbulooni, n’emyaka amakumi asatu mu esatu e Yerusaalemi.

Odii hene wɔ Israel mfe aduanan a ne nkyerɛmu ne sɛ, odii Hebron so mfe ason na Yerusalem nso, odii ade mfe aduasa abiɛsa.

12 Awo Sulemaani n’atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Dawudi kitaawe, obwakabaka bwe ne bunywezebwa nnyo.

Enti Salomo tenaa nʼagya Dawid ahengua so, na nʼadedi ase timii yiye.

13 Adoniya omwana wa Kaggisi, n’alaga eri Basuseba nnyina Sulemaani. Basuseba n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe?” N’addamu nti, “Weewaawo mirembe.”

Na Hagit babarima Adoniya kɔɔ Salomo ne na Batseba nkyɛn. Batseba bisaa no se, “Wobaa no asomdwoe so ana?” Obuaa no se, “Ɛyɛ asomdwoe so.”

14 N’ayogera nate nti, “Nnina kye njagala okukubuulira.” Basuseba n’amuddamu nti, “Kimbuulire.”

Na ɔka kaa ho se, “Mepɛ sɛ woyɛ me adɔe bi.” Na Batseba bisae se, “Adɔe bɛn.”

15 Adoniya n’amugamba nti, “Nga bw’omanyi, obwakabaka bwali bwange, era ne Isirayiri yenna baatunuulira nze nga kabaka waabwe. Naye ebintu byakyuka, era n’obwakabaka bugenze eri muganda wange, kubanga bumuweereddwa Mukama.

Adoniya kae se, “Sɛnea wunim no, na ahemman no yɛ me dea. Na Israel nyinaa hwɛ me kwan sɛ wɔn hene. Nanso nneɛma sesae, na ahemman no kɔɔ me nuabarima nkyɛn, efisɛ Awurade pɛ no saa.

16 Kaakano nkusaba ekigambo kimu, era tokinnyima.” Basuseba n’amugamba nti, “Kyogere.”

Mprempren, ade baako na mepɛ sɛ mesrɛ wo. Mfa nkame me.” Ɔkae se, “Wutumi ka.”

17 Adoniya n’ayogera nti, “Nkwegayiridde gamba Sulemaani kabaka ampe Abisaagi Omusunammu okuba mukyala wange, kubanga kabaka anaakuwuliriza.”

Na ɔtoaa so se, “Kɔsrɛ ɔhene Salomo ma me, na ɔremfa dekode no nkame wo. Ka na ɔmfa Abisag Sunamni no mma me sɛ me yere.”

18 Basuseba n’addamu nti, “Kale, nnaakwogererayo eri Kabaka.”

Na Batseba buae se, “Eye mɛka ho asɛm akyerɛ ɔhene ama wo.”

19 Awo Basuseba bwe yagenda eri Kabaka Sulemaani, okwogererayo Adoniya, Kabaka n’agolokoka okumusisinkana, n’akutama n’oluvannyuma n’atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka. N’atumya entebe ey’obwakabaka endala nnyina atuuleko, n’atuula ku mukono gwa kabaka ogwa ddyo.

Enti Batseba kɔɔ ɔhene Salomo nkyɛn sɛ ɔrekɔkasa ama Adoniya. Ɔhene no sɔree sɛ ɔrebehyia no, bɔɔ ne mu ase ansa na ɔretena nʼahengua so. Na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa agua mmrɛ ɔhene na, na ɔtenaa ɔhene nifa so.

20 Basuseba n’amugamba nti, “Nkusaba ekigambo kimu ekitono, era tokinnyima.” Kabaka n’amuddamu nti, “Kisabe, maama, nange siikikumme.”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene se, “Mewɔ ade ketewaa bi srɛ wo, na mfa nkame me.” Ɔhene no buaa no se, “Ka, me na. Meyɛ ama wo.”

21 N’ayogera nti, “Kkiriza Abisaagi Omusunammu afumbirwe muganda wo Adoniya.”

Enti ɔkae se, “Ma wɔmfa Sunamni Abisag mma wo nuabarima Adoniya aware.”

22 Kabaka Sulemaani n’addamu nnyina nti, “Lwaki osabira Adoniya, Abisaagi Omusunammu? Musabire n’obwakabaka, ate obanga ye mukulu wange; ky’ekyo, sabira ye, ne Abiyasaali kabona ne Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya!”

Ɔhene Salomo bisaa ne na se, “Adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ Adoniya ware Sunamni Abisag? Ɛno de, sɛ wubebisa ahemman nso ama no. Wunim sɛ ɔyɛ me nua panyin na ɔsɔfo Abiatar ne Seruia babarima Yoab nso boa no!”

23 Awo Kabaka Sulemaani n’alayira ng’agamba nti, “Katonda ankole bw’atyo n’okusingawo, Adoniya bw’atasasule n’obulamu bwe olw’ekyo ky’asabye!

Na ɔhene Salomo de Awurade din kaa ntam se, “Sɛ Adoniya amfa ne nkwa antwa saa abisade yi so a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no dennen so pa ara.

24 Kale nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, oyo annywezezza ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya kitange Dawudi, era ampadde olulyo nga bwe yasuubiza, Adoniya anattibwa leero!”

Na mprempren de, mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, ɔno a watim mʼase wɔ mʼagya Dawid ahengua so, na wabɔ me fie ahenni mu nnidiso atenase ama me, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ me bɔ no, Adoniya de, twa ara na etwa sɛ owu nnɛ yi ara.”

25 Awo Kabaka Sulemaani n’alagira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada okutta Adoniya, era Adoniya n’attibwa.

Enti, Salomo hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onkum no, na okum Adoniya.

26 Kabaka n’agamba Abiyasaali kabona nti, “Ggwe genda e Anasosi mu byalo byo. Osaanidde okufa, naye siikutte mu biro bino, kubanga wasitulanga essanduuko ya Mukama mu maaso ga kitange Dawudi, era n’obonyaabonyezebwa wamu naye mu bibonoobono bye.”

Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfo Abiatar se, “San kɔ wo kurom Anatot. Wofata sɛ wuwu, nanso merenkum wo mprempren, efisɛ, wosoaa Awurade Tumfo Adaka no maa mʼagya, na wo ne no nyinaa na muhuu amane wɔ nʼabɛbrɛsɛ nyinaa mu.”

27 Awo Sulemaani n’agoba Abiyasaali ku bwakabona bwa Mukama, okutuukiriza ekigambo Mukama kye yayogerera e Siiro ku nnyumba ya Eri.

Enti Salomo nam so dii mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ wɔ Silo fa Eli asefo ho no so.

28 Amawulire bwe gaatuuka eri Yowaabu, eyali akyuse okugoberera Adoniya, newaakubadde nga teyagoberera Abusaalomu, n’addukira mu weema ya Mukama, n’akwata ku mayembe g’ekyoto.

Ɛwɔ mu, mfiase no na onni Absalom akyi, nanso Yoab de ne ho kɔdɔm Adoniya atuatew no. Bere a Yoab tee Adoniya wu no, otuu mmirika kɔɔ Awurade ntamadan kronkron no mu, na okosusoo mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no mu.

29 Bwe baategeeza kabaka Sulemaani nti Yowaabu addukidde mu weema ya Mukama, era nti ali ku kyoto, n’alagira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada nti, “Genda omutte.”

Bere a ɔhene Salomo tee asɛm yi, ɔsomaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onkokum no.

30 Benaya n’agenda mu weema ya Mukama, n’agamba Yowaabu nti, “Kabaka akulagidde okufuluma.” Naye ye n’addamu nti, “Nedda, nzija kufiira wano.” Benaya n’azzaayo obubaka eri kabaka, nga Yowaabu bwe yamuddamu.

Na Benaia kɔɔ Awurade ntamadan kronkron no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab se, “Ɔhene se fi adi.” Nanso Yoab buae se, “Dabi, mewu wɔ ha.” Enti Benaia san kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa asɛm a Yoab aka no kyerɛɛ no.

31 Awo kabaka n’alagira Benaya nti, “Kola nga bw’ayogedde, omutte era omuziike oggyewo omusango ku nze ne ku nnyumba ya kitange olw’omusaayi Yowaabu gwe yayiwa awatali nsonga.

Ɔhene no tee asɛm a Yoab kae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Benaia se, “Yɛ nea ɔkae no. Kum no wɔ afɔremuka no ho, na sie no. Eyi beyi adwenhare mogyahwiegu ho afɔdi afi me ne mʼagya fifo so.

32 Era Mukama alimusasula olw’omusaayi gwe yayiwa, kubanga yagwa ku basajja babiri n’abatta n’ekitala, Abuneeri mutabani wa Neeri, omukulu w’eggye lya Isirayiri, ne Amasa mutabani wa Yeseri, omukulu w’eggye lya Yuda, kitange Dawudi n’atakimanya, ate nga baali bamusinga obutuukirivu n’obulungi.

Na Awurade betua no kum a okum mmarima atreneefo ankasa baanu a na woye sen no no so ka. Na mʼagya nnim Ner babarima Abner a na ɔyɛ Israel asraafo so sahene ne Yeter babarima Amasa a na ɔno nso yɛ Yuda asraafo so sahene no wu ho hwee.

33 Bwe gutyo omusango gw’omusaayi gwabwe gubeere ku mutwe gwa Yowaabu ne ku zzadde lye emirembe gyonna. Naye ku Dawudi ne ku zzadde lye, era ne ku nnyumba ye ne ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, wabeerewo emirembe gya Mukama emirembe gyonna.”

Yoab ne nʼasefo de, saa awudi ahorow yi ho afɔdi ntena wɔn so, na Awurade mma Dawid ne nʼasefo ne nʼahengua asomdwoe afebɔɔ!”

34 Awo Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada n’ayambuka n’atta Yowaabu, n’aziikibwa mu ttaka lye mu ddungu.

Enti Yehoiada babarima Benaia san kɔɔ ntamadan kronkron no mu, kokum Yoab, na wosiee Yoab wɔ ne kurom wuram baabi.

35 Awo kabaka n’afuula Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada omukulu w’eggye mu kifo kya Yowaabu, n’afuula ne Zadooki kabona mu kifo kya Abiyasaali.

Na ɔhene no yii Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ onsi Yoab anan sɛ ɔsahene. Na oyii ɔsɔfo Sadok de no sii Abiatar anan mu.

36 Kabaka n’atumya Simeeyi n’amugamba nti, “Weezimbire ennyumba mu Yerusaalemi obeere omwo, so tovangamu okugenda awantu wonna.

Ɔhene no soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Simei ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Si ofi wɔ Yerusalem ha na tena mu. Na mfi kurow no mu nkɔ baabiara.

37 Olunaku lw’olivaayo n’osomoka ekiwonvu Kiduloni, tegeerera ddala nga tolirema kufa, era omusaayi gwo guliba ku mutwe gwo ggwe.”

Na da a wubetwa Kidron bon no, wubewu; na wo mogya begu wʼankasa wo ti so.”

38 Simeeyi n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Ky’oyogedde kirungi. Omuddu wo ajja kukola nga mukama wange kabaka bw’ayogedde.” Awo Simeeyi n’amala ekiseera kiwanvu mu Yerusaalemi.

Na Simei buae se, “Wʼatemmu no yɛ kronkron. Biribiara a me wura ɔhene bɛhyɛ sɛ menyɛ no, mɛyɛ.” Enti Simei tenaa Yerusalem kyɛe yiye.

39 Naye bwe waayitawo emyaka esatu, babiri ku baddu ba Simeeyi ne baddukira eri Akisi mutabani wa Maaka kabaka w’e Gaasi. Simeeyi n’ategeezebwa nti, “Abaddu bo bali Gaasi.”

Na mfe abiɛsa akyi no, Simei asomfo baanu guan kɔɔ Gathene Akis, Maaka babarima nkyɛn. Bere a Simei huu faako a wɔwɔ no,

40 Simeeyi olwawulira ebyo, ne yeebagala endogoyi ye n’agenda e Gaasi eri Akisi okunoonya abaddu be. Simeeyi n’agenda okuleeta abaddu be okuva e Gaasi.

ɔhyehyɛɛ nʼafurum, kɔɔ Gat, kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn. Ohuu wɔn no, ɔde wɔn san baa Yerusalem.

41 Bwe baabuulira Sulemaani nti Simeeyi yava e Yerusaalemi n’agenda e Gaasi era n’akomawo,

Salomo tee sɛ Simei afi Yerusalem akɔ Gat asan aba no,

42 kabaka n’amutumya, n’amubuuza nti, “Saakulayiza Mukama ne nkulabula nti, ‘Tegeerera ddala nga olunaku lw’olivaawo okugenda awantu wonna, olifa?’ N’oŋŋamba nti, ‘Kye njogedde kirungi era nzija kukigondera.’

ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Simei bae, na obisaa no se, “Mamma woanka ntam Awurade din mu sɛ, worenkɔ baabiara, na sɛ anyɛ saa a, wubewu? Na wubuae se, ‘Atemmu no yɛ kronkron; na medi asɛm a woaka no so.’

43 Kale kiki ekyakulobera okwekuuma ekirayiro kya Mukama n’ekiragiro kye nakulagira?”

Adɛn nti na woanni wo ntam no so amma Awurade, na woanyɛ mʼahyɛde?”

44 Awo kabaka n’agamba Simeeyi nti, “Omanyi mu mutima gwo obubi bwonna bwe wakola Dawudi kitange. Kaakano Mukama alikusasula olw’obubi bwo.

Na ɔhene no ka kaa ho se, “Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ wokae amumɔyɛ a woyɛɛ mʼagya, ɔhene Dawid. Awurade bɛtwe wʼaso wɔ ho.

45 Naye kabaka Sulemaani aliweebwa omukisa, ne ntebe ya Dawudi ey’obwakabaka erinywezebwa mu maaso ga Mukama emirembe gyonna.”

Na me de, menya Awurade nhyira, na daa Dawid aseni atena ahengua no so.”

46 Kabaka n’alagira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada, okutta Simeeyi. Obwakabaka ne bunywezebwa mu mukono gwa Sulemaani.

Na ɔhene no hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia ma ɔfaa Simei de no fii adi kokum no. Enti ahemman no tim wɔ Salomo nsam.
