2 Samwiri 17
1 Awo Akisoferi n’agamba Abusaalomu nti, “Leka nnonde abasajja omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, ŋŋende mpondere Dawudi ekiro kino.
UAhithofeli wasesithi kuAbisalomu: Ake ngikhethe amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili, ngisukume ngixotshane loDavida ngalobubusuku.
2 Ndimulumba mu bukoowu bwe ne mu bunafu bwe ne mutiisatiisa, era n’abantu bonna abali naye balidduka. Ndikuba kabaka yekka ne mutta,
Ngizamehlela esakhathele ebuthakathaka ezandleni, ngimethuse; labo bonke abantu abalaye bazabaleka; ngizatshaya inkosi kuphela.
3 naye abantu abalala bonna ndibakomyawo gy’oli. Okufa kw’omusajja omu yekka gw’onoonya, kulikomyawo abantu bonna nga tebaliiko mutawaana.”
Ngizabuyisela abantu bonke kuwe. Umuntu omdingayo ufanana lokubuya kwabo bonke. Bonke abantu bazakuba sekuthuleni.
4 Ekigambo ekyo Abusaalomu n’abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakisiima.
Lalelilizwi lalilungile emehlweni kaAbisalomu lemehlweni abo bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli.
5 Naye Abusaalomu n’ayogera nti, “Mumpitire ne Kusaayi Omwaluki, tuwulire ky’anaayogera ku nsonga eyo.”
UAbisalomu wasesithi: Bizani-ke loHushayi umArki, sizwe ukuthi laye uthini ngomlomo.
6 Kusaayi bwe yajja eri Abusaalomu, Abusaalomu n’amugamba nti, Akisoferi, amagezi g’atuwadde ge gano. Tukole nga Akisoferi bw’agambye? Oba nga si weewaawo, ggwe ogamba otya?
UHushayi esefikile kuAbisalomu, uAbisalomu wakhuluma kuye esithi: UAhithofeli ukhulume ngalindlela: Senze ilizwi lakhe yini? Uba kungenjalo, khuluma wena.
7 Kusaayi n’addamu Abusaalomu nti, “Ago amagezi Akisoferi g’abawadde si malungi ku mulundi guno.
UHushayi wasesithi kuAbisalomu: Iseluleko uAhithofeli aselulekileyo ngalesisikhathi kasisihle.
8 Omanyi kitaawo n’abasajja be nga basajja balwanyi era nga bakambwe ng’eddubu erinyagiddwako abaana baalyo. Ate n’ekirala, kitaawo mulwanyi mumanyirivu; tayinza kusula na baserikale.
UHushayi wathi futhi: Wena uyamazi uyihlo labantu bakhe ukuthi bangamaqhawe, ukuthi bathukuthele enhliziyweni, njengebhere elithathelwe imidlwane egangeni. Futhi uyihlo yindoda yempi; kayikulala labantu ebusuku.
9 Ne mu kiseera kino, ayinza okuba nga yeekwese mu mpuku oba mu kifo ekirala. Bw’anaasooka okulumba abantu bo, buli anaakiwulira anaagamba nti, ‘Bangi ku bagoberezi ba Abusaalomu battiddwa.’
Khangela, khathesinje ucatshile komunye wemigodi, loba kwenye yezindawo. Kuzakuthi lapho abanye babo bewile ekuqaleni, kuthi loba ngubani ozwayo athi: Bekulokubulawa ebantwini abalandela uAbisalomu.
10 Olwo n’omuntu omuzira mu bazira, alina omutima oguli ng’omutima gw’empologoma, anaayongoberera ddala, kubanga Isirayiri yenna bamanyi kitaawo nga musajja mulwanyi, era n’abali naye basajja bazira.
Kuthi laye olobuqhawe, onhliziyo yakhe injengenhliziyo yesilwane, ancibilike lokuncibilika; ngoba uIsrayeli wonke uyazi ukuthi uyihlo uliqhawe, lalabo abalaye balobuqhawe.
11 “Naye nze amagezi ge nkuwa ge gano: kuŋŋaanya gy’oli Isirayiri yenna okuva ku Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba, mu bungi bwabwe, ng’omusenyu ogw’oku nnyanja bwe guli obungi, ggwe mwene obakulembere mu lutalo.
Ngakho ngiyeluleka ukuthi uIsrayeli wonke abuthane, abuthane kuwe kusukela koDani kuze kufike eBherishebha, ngangetshebetshebe eliselwandle ngobunengi, wena ngokwakho ubususiya empini.
12 Tulimulumba yonna gy’alisangibwa, ne tumugwako ng’omusulo bwe gugwa ku ttaka. Ye newaakubadde abasajja abali naye, tewaliba n’omu aliba omulamu.
Ngakho sizamehlela kwenye yezindawo lapho angatholakala khona, simehlele njengamazolo ewela emhlabathini; njalo kungasali kuye lebantwini bonke abalaye loyedwa.
13 Bw’aliddukira mu kibuga, Isirayiri yenna, balireeta emiguwa, ne tukiwalulira mu mugga obutalekawo jjinja n’erimu.”
Uba-ke engena emzini, uIsrayeli wonke uzaletha amagoda kulowomuzi, siwuhudulele esifuleni, kungabe kusatholwa lalitshana khona.
14 Awo Abusaalomu n’abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakkiriziganya nti, “Ekiteeso Kusaayi Omwaluki ky’aleese kirungi okusinga ekya Akisoferi.” Mukama yasiima okulemesa ekiteeso ekirungi ekya Akisoferi alyoke azikirize Abusaalomu.
UAbisalomu lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli basebesithi: Iseluleko sikaHushayi umArki singcono kuleseluleko sikaAhithofeli. Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu yayilayile ukuthi kufutshiswe iseluleko esihle sikaAhithofeli ukuze iNkosi imehlisele okubi uAbisalomu.
15 Naye Kusaayi n’ategeeza Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona nti, “Akisoferi awadde Abusaalomu n’abakadde ba Isirayiri amagezi bwe gati ne bwe gati, naye nze mbawabudde okukola bwe bati ne bwe bati.
UHushayi wasesithi kuZadoki lakuAbhiyatha abapristi: UAhithofeli weluleke uAbisalomu labadala bakoIsrayeli kanje lakanje; mina-ke ngeluleka kanje lakanje.
16 Kaakano muweereze mangu obubaka mutegeeze Dawudi nti, ‘Ekiro kya leero tosula ku misomoko egy’omu ddungu; ssomoka, kabaka n’abantu bonna abali naye baleme okumalibwawo.’”
Ngakho-ke thumani masinyane litshele uDavida lithi: Ungalali emagcekeni enkangala kulobubusuku, futhi chapha lokuchapha, hlezi inkosi iginywe labantu bonke abalayo.
17 Yonasaani ne Akimaazi baabeeranga ku Enerogeri. Baali balinda omuwala okujja okubategeeza byonna, n’oluvannyuma bagende babuulire kabaka Dawudi; baali beewala okulabibwa nga bayingira mu kibuga.
OJonathani loAhimahazi babemile-ke eEnirogeli; incekukazi yeza yabatshela, bona-ke bahamba babikela inkosi uDavida; ngoba babengelakubonwa bengena emzini.
18 Naye waaliwo omuvubuka eyabalaba, n’agenda n’abuulira Abusaalomu. Amangwago bombi ne baddukira mu nnyumba ey’omwami omu mu Bakulimu. Yalina oluzzi mu luggya lwe; ne bakka omwo.
Kodwa umfana othile wababona, wabikela uAbisalomu; kodwa bahamba masinyane bobabili, bayafika endlini yomuntu eBahurimi, owayelomthombo egumeni lakhe; behlela khona.
19 Omukyala we n’addira ekisaanikira n’asaanikira ku kamwa k’oluzzi, n’ayiwako eŋŋaano n’agisaasaanyizaako. Ne wataba n’omu eyakitegeera.
Owesifazana wasethatha wendlala isimbombozo phezu komlomo womthombo, wachaya amabele agigiweyo phezu kwaso; ngakho linto kayaziwanga.
20 Awo abasajja ba Abusaalomu bwe batuuka ew’omukyala ku nnyumba, ne bamubuuza nti, “Akimaazi ne Yonasaani bali ludda wa?” N’abaddamu nti, “Basomose akagga ak’amazzi.” Abasajja ne babanoonyako naye ne batalaba muntu yenna, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
Lapho zifika izinceku zikaAbisalomu kowesifazana endlini, zathi: Bangaphi oAhimahazi loJonathani? Owesifazana wasesithi kizo: Bachaphe isifula samanzi. Sezidingile, zingabatholanga, zabuyela eJerusalema.
21 Abasajja bwe baagenda, abaali beekwese ne bava mu luzzi ne bagenda ne bategeeza kabaka Dawudi. Ne bamugamba nti, “Golokoka osomoke mangu omugga, kubanga Akisoferi ateeseteese bw’ati ne bw’ati.”
Kwasekusithi sezihambile, benyuka emthonjeni baya bayitshela inkosi uDavida, bathi kuDavida: Sukani lichaphe amanzi masinyane, ngoba uAhithofeli weluleke njalo emelene lani.
22 Awo Dawudi n’abantu bonna abaali naye ne bagolokoka ne basomoka Yoludaani; we bwakeerera nga tewali n’omu atasomose Yoludaani.
UDavida wasesuka, labo bonke abantu ababelaye, bachapha iJordani; kuze kube sekukhanyeni kokusa kwakungasalanga loyedwa, ongayichaphanga iJordani.
23 Akisoferi bwe yalaba nga amagezi ge tegagobereddwa, ne yeebagala endogoyi ye, n’agenda ewuwe mu kyalo kye waabwe. N’ateekateeka ennyumba ye, n’oluvannyuma ne yeetuga. N’aziikibwa mu ntaana ya kitaawe.
Lapho uAhithofeli ebona ukuthi iseluleko sakhe asilandelwanga, wabophela isihlalo kubabhemi, wasuka waya endlini yakhe emzini wakhe, walaya indlu yakhe, waziphanyeka, wafa, wangcwatshelwa engcwabeni likayise.
24 Dawudi n’agenda e Makanayimu, ne Abusaalomu n’abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne basomoka Yoludaani.
UDavida wasefika eMahanayimi; uAbisalomu wasechapha iJordani, yena lamadoda wonke akoIsrayeli kanye laye.
25 Abusaalomu n’alonda Amasa okuba omuduumizi w’eggye mu kifo kya Yowaabu. Amasa yali mutabani wa Isira Omuyisimayiri eyawasa Abbigayiri muwala wa Nakasi muganda wa Zeruyiya nnyina Yowaabu.
UAbisalomu wayebeke-ke uAmasa phezu kwebutho esikhundleni sikaJowabi. Njalo uAmasa wayeyindodana yomuntu obizo lakhe lalinguIthira umIsrayeli, owangena kuAbigali indodakazi kaNahashi, udadewabo kaZeruya, unakaJowabi.
26 Abayisirayiri ne Abusaalomu ne basiisira mu nsi ya Gireyaadi.
Ngakho uIsrayeli loAbisalomu bamisa inkamba elizweni leGileyadi.
27 Dawudi bwe yatuuka e Makanayimu, Sobi mutabani wa Nakasi ow’e Labba eky’Abamoni, ne Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri ow’e Lodebali, ne Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi ow’e Logerimu,
Kwasekusithi uDavida esefikile eMahanayimi, uShobi indodana kaNahashi weRaba yabantwana bakoAmoni, loMakiri indodana kaAmiyeli weLodebari, loBarizilayi umGileyadi weRogelimi,
28 ne bamuleetera ebyokwebikka, n’ebibya, n’entamu, n’eŋŋaano, ne sayiri, n’obutta, n’eŋŋaano ensiike, n’ebijanjaalo, n’empindi, ne mpokya omusiike,
baletha amacansi, lemiganu, lendiwo zebumba, lengqoloyi, lebhali, lempuphu, lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lendumba, lamalentili, lokunye okukhanzingiweyo,
29 n’omubisi gw’enjuki, n’omuzigo, n’endiga, ne bbongo, ne babiwa Dawudi n’abantu be okulya. Ne boogera nti, “Abantu enjala ebaluma, era bakooye, n’ennyonta ebalumidde mu ddungu.”
lenyosi, lamasi, lezimvu, letshizi yenkomo, kusenzelwa uDavida labantu ababelaye ukuze badle; ngoba bathi: Abantu balambile badiniwe bomile enkangala.
