2 Samwiri 24

1 Awo Mukama n’asunguwalira Isirayiri nate, n’aleetera Dawudi okubabala. Dawudi n’alagira nti, “Genda obale Isirayiri ne Yuda.”

Ningĩ marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra Isiraeli, nake agĩĩkĩra Daudi meciiria nĩguo amokĩrĩre, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgatare andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda.”

2 Kabaka n’alagira Yowaabu n’abaduumizi ab’eggye nti, “Mugende mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri okuva e Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba mubale abantu, ntegeere omuwendo gwabwe.”

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩĩra Joabu na anene a mbũtũ cia ita arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi kũndũ guothe mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ ya Isiraeli kuuma Dani nginya Birishiba na mũtare andũ arĩa mangĩthiĩ mbaara, nĩgeetha menye ũrĩa maigana.”

3 Naye Yowaabu n’addamu kabaka nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ayongere ku bantu bo emirundi kikumi n’okusingawo, nga mukama wange kabaka akyali mulamu. Naye kiki ekikukoza ekintu bwe kityo mukama wange kabaka?”

No Joabu agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku angĩrongerera mbũtũ cia ita maita igana, namo maitho ma mũthamaki marokĩĩonera. No nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ende gwĩka ũndũ ta ũyũ?”

4 Naye ekigambo kya kabaka ne kisinga amaanyi ebigambo bya Yowaabu n’abaduumizi b’eggye, era ne bava mu maaso ga kabaka ne batanula okubala abantu ba Isirayiri.

No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki, agĩkararia Joabu na anene a mbũtũ cia ita; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩehera mbere ya mũthamaki, magĩthiĩ gũtara andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara.

5 Oluvannyuma olw’okusomoka Yoludaani, ne basiisira okumpi ne Aloweri ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo olw’ekibuga mu kiwonvu, ne bayitira mu Gaadi okutuuka e Yazeri.

Nao marĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, makĩamba hema hakuhĩ na Aroeri, mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra mũkuru-inĩ ũcio, magĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Gadi magĩkinya Jazeri.

6 Ne bagenda e Gireyaadi ne mu kitundu kya Tatimukodusi, ne batuuka e Ddaani-Yaani ne beebungulula ne baggukira e Sidoni.

Magĩthiĩ Gileadi na bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Tahatimu-Hodishi, magĩkinya Dani-Jaani magĩthiũrũrũka magĩkinya Sidoni.

7 Ne bagenda ku kigo eky’e Ttuulo ne mu bibuga byonna eby’Abakiivi n’eby’Abakanani, ne bakomekkereza omulimu gwabwe e Beeruseba mu bukiikaddyo obwa Yuda.

Magĩcooka magĩthiĩ merekeire kĩirigo kĩa hinya gĩa Turo na matũũra-inĩ mothe ma andũ a Ahivi na ma Kaanani. Marigĩrĩrio-ini magĩthiĩ Birishiba kũu Negevu ya Juda.

8 Awo oluvannyuma olw’okuyitaayita mu nsi yonna omulimu nga bagukoledde emyezi mwenda n’ennaku amakumi abiri, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.

Maarĩkia gũthiĩ bũrũri-inĩ wothe, magĩcooka Jerusalemu thuutha wa mĩeri kenda na matukũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.

9 Yowaabu n’awaayo omuwendo gw’abantu bonna eri kabaka. Mu Isirayiri mwaweramu abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo kinaana, ne mu Yuda ne muweramu abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi ataano.

Joabu agĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro wa mũigana wa andũ arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara: Thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli kwarĩ andũ ngiri magana manana andũ marĩ na hinya wa mwĩrĩ na mangĩahotire kũhũthĩra rũhiũ rwa njora, nakuo Juda maarĩ ngiri magana matano.

10 Naye Dawudi n’akeŋŋeentererwa emmeeme olw’ekikolwa ekyo eky’okubala abantu. N’agamba Mukama nti, “Nnyonoonye nnyo olw’ekyo kye nkoze. Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda nziggyako omusango guno omuddu wo gw’azizza, kubanga nkoze eky’obusirusiru.”

Nake Daudi agĩthĩĩnĩka mũno ngoro thuutha wa gũtara andũ acio a mbaara, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie mũno nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo njĩkĩte. Rĩu, Wee Jehova-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ũnjehererie mahĩtia, niĩ ndungata yaku. Nĩnjĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ mũno.”

11 Awo mu kiro ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kijjira nnabbi Gaadi, omulabi wa Dawudi nti,

Daudi atanokĩra rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ-rĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii Gadi, ũrĩa wonagĩra Daudi maũndũ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:

12 “Genda otegeeze Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ku bino ebisatu londawo ekimu kye nnaakukola.’”

“Thiĩ ũkeere Daudi ũũ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ũrĩ na maũndũ matatũ ma gũthuura. Nawe ũthuure ũmwe wamo ũrĩa ngũkũherithia naguo.’”

13 Gaadi n’agenda eri Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Ndireeta enjala mu nsi okumala emyaka musanvu? Oba, ndikuddusa mu maaso g’abalabe bo okumala emyezi esatu, nga bakugoba? Oba, walibaawo ennaku ssatu eza kawumpuli mu nsi yo? Kirowoozeeko, ontegeeze ky’onoosalawo, nzizeeyo obubaka eri oyo antumye.”

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gadi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda bũrũri waku ũgĩe ngʼaragu mĩaka ĩtatũ? Kana ũũrĩre thũ ciaku mĩeri ĩtatũ igũtengʼeretie? Kana kũgĩe matukũ matatũ ma mũrimũ wa mũthiro bũrũri-inĩ waku? Rĩu-rĩ, wĩciirie ũhoro ũcio ũtue itua rĩrĩa ngũcookeria ũcio ũndũmĩte.”

14 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Gaadi nti, “Nsobeddwa nnyo; wakiri tugwe mu mukono gwa Mukama Katonda, kubanga okusaasira kwe kungi; okusinga okugwa mu mikono gy’abantu.”

Daudi akĩĩra Gadi atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na thĩĩna mũnene mũno. Nĩtũrekwo tũgwĩre moko-inĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo tha ciake nĩ nyingĩ; no ndũkareke ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ.”

15 Awo Mukama Katonda n’aweereza kawumpuli ku Isirayiri okuva ku makya okwo okumala ekiseera Mukama kye yateekateeka, abantu emitwalo musanvu ne bafa okuva mu bitundu ebya Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrehera Isiraeli mũthiro kuuma rũciinĩ rũu nginya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩatuĩtwo; nao andũ ngiri mĩrongo mũgwanja kuuma Dani nginya Birishiba magĩkua.

16 Malayika bwe yagolola omukono gwe eri Yerusaalemi okukizikiriza, Mukama ne yejjusa olw’ekikolwa ekyo, n’agamba malayika eyabonereza abantu nti, “Kinaamala, toyoongera nate.” Olwo malayika wa Mukama Katonda yali atuuse ku gguuliro lya Alawuna Omuyebusi.

Rĩrĩa mũraika aatambũrũkirie guoko gwake nĩguo aanange Jerusalemu-rĩ, Jehova akĩigua kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kĩnyariirĩko kĩu akĩĩra mũraika ũcio wanangaga andũ atĩrĩ, “Tigĩra hau! Eheria guoko gwaku.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika ũcio wa Jehova aarũgamĩte kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna, ũrĩa Mũjebusi.

17 Awo Dawudi bwe yalaba malayika wa Mukama Katonda eyabonereza abantu, n’ayogera nti, “Nze nnyonoonye era nze nkoze eby’ekyejo, naye endiga zino, tezirina kye zikoze. Nkwegayiridde, omukono gwo ka gubonereze nze n’ennyumba ya kitange.”

Rĩrĩa Daudi onire mũraika ũcio woragaga andũ-rĩ, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ njĩhĩtie o na ngeeka ũũru. Andũ aya matariĩ o ta ngʼondu. Nĩatĩa mekĩte? Reke guoko gwaku kũnjũkĩrĩre niĩ na nyũmba yakwa.”

18 Ku lunaku olwo Gaadi n’agenda eri Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Yambuka ozimbire Mukama Katonda ekyoto ku gguuliro lya Alawuna Omuyebusi.”

Mũthenya o ro ũcio-rĩ, Gadi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ wakĩre Jehova kĩgongona, hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna ũrĩa Mũjebusi.”

19 Awo Dawudi n’agondera ebiragiro bya Mukama Katonda bye yayisa mu Gaadi, n’ayambuka ku gguuliro.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩambata o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte na kanua ka Gadi.

20 Alawuna n’alengera kabaka n’abasajja be nga bajja gy’ali, n’afuluma n’avuunama mu maaso ga kabaka, ne yeeyala wansi.

Rĩrĩa Arauna aacũthĩrĩirie akĩona mũthamaki na andũ ake magĩũka marorete na kũrĩ we, akiuma nja, akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya mũthamaki aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ.

21 Alawuna n’abuuza nti, “Kiki ekireese mukama wange kabaka eri omuddu we?” Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Nzize okugula egguuliro lyo, nzimbire Mukama ekyoto, kawumpuli aleke okubuna mu bantu.”

Arauna akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oke kũrĩ ndungata yake?” Nake Daudi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndooka kũgũra kĩhuhĩro gĩaku kĩa ngano, nĩguo njakĩre Jehova kĩgongona, nĩgeetha mũthiro ũyũ ũkorete andũ ũthire.”

22 Alawuna n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Mukama wange kabaka atwale kyonna ky’anaasiima akiweeyo. Ente ziizo ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ebintu ebiwuula n’ebikoligo by’ente byonna mbiwaddeyo okuba enku.

Arauna akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Reke mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩenda akĩrute igongona. Ici nĩ ndegwa cia igongona rĩa njino, na ici nĩcio indo cia kũhuhĩra ngano namo macooki ma ndegwa matuĩke ngũ.

23 Ebyo byonna, Alawuna abiwaddeyo eri kabaka.” Alawuna n’ayongerako nti, “Olabe ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.”

Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Arauna nĩaheana indo icio ciothe kũrĩ mũthamaki.” Arauna agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku arogwĩtĩkĩra.”

24 Naye kabaka n’agamba Alawuna nti, “Nedda, nzija kulisasulira. Sijja kuwaayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wange, nga sisasulidde muwendo.” Awo Dawudi n’asasulira egguuliro n’ente, omuwendo ogw’enkana effeeza, gulaamu lukaaga.

Mũthamaki agĩcookeria Arauna atĩrĩ, “Aca, no nginya ngũrĩhe nĩ ũndũ wakĩo. Ndikũrutĩra Jehova Ngai wakwa igongona rĩa njino rĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩa itarĩhĩire thogora.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩgũra kĩhuhĩro kĩu kĩa ngano na ndegwa icio na cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha.

25 Dawudi n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe. Olwo Mukama Katonda n’ayanukula okusaba kwe ku lw’ensi, kawumpuli n’ava ku Isirayiri.

Daudi agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona hau, na akĩruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova agĩcookia mahooya nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri, naguo mũthiro ũrĩa warĩ Isiraeli ũgĩthira.
