1 Imilando 11
1 Bonke abako-Israyeli baya kuDavida eHebhroni bafika bathi: “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
Israel ha blibo la va ƒo ƒu ɖe David gbɔ le Hebron eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò ŋutilã kple ʋue míenye.
2 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.’”
Tsã esi Saul nye fia gɔ̃ hã la, wòe nye ame si kplɔ Israel le eƒe aʋawɔwɔ katã me eye Yehowa, wò Mawu, gblɔ na wò be, ‘Wòe akplɔ nye dukɔ, Israel eye wòe ava nye woƒe fia.’”
3 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.
Esi Israel ƒe dumegãwo va kpe ta le Fia David gbɔ le Hebron la, ebla nu kpli wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume eye wosi ami na David heɖoe fiae ɖe Israel dzi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel ene.
4 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli baya eJerusalema (kusitsho iJebusi). AmaJebusi ayehlala khona
Le esia megbe la, David kple Israel blibo la ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem, du si woyɔna tsã be Yebus la ŋu. Yebusitɔwo nye ame siwo nye anyigba la dzi nɔla gbãtɔwo.
5 athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha.” Kodwa lanxa kunjalo, uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
Wogblɔ na David be, “Màge ɖe afi sia o.” Ke David kple eƒe amewo ɖu wo dzi eye woxɔ Zion mɔ sesẽ la si woyɔna azɔ be, “David ƒe Du.”
6 UDavida wayethe, “Ozakhokhela ekuhlaseleni amaJebusi uzakuba nguMlawuli omkhulu wempi.” UJowabi indodana kaZeruya nguye owaqala ukuya khona, ngakho wazuza ubukhokheli.
David gblɔ be, “Ame sia ame si atre Yebusitɔwo sisi la, azu aʋafia.” Yoab, Zeruya ƒe viŋutsu dze Yebusitɔwo dzi gbã eye wòzu aʋafia la.
7 UDavida wasehlala enqabeni, yikho yathiwa ibizo lokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida.
David nɔ mɔ la me eya ta woyɔa du la ƒe akpa ma be, David ƒe Du.
8 Wakha idolobho inxa zonke kusukela emadundulwini kuze kuyefinyelela emidulini ehonqolozeleyo, ngalesosikhathi uJowabi esakha evuselela umuzi.
Ekeke du la ɖe edzi ƒo xlã mɔ la le esime Yoab gbugbɔ Yerusalem ƒe akpa mamlɛa tu.
9 UDavida waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla, ngoba uThixo uSomandla wayelaye.
David ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ de dzi elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la nɔ kplii.
10 Lezi zinduna zamaqhawe kaDavida ezazimsekele ngokuqinileyo embusweni kanye laye wonke u-Israyeli, ukuba abe yinkosi, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo.
David ƒe aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔtɔwo, ame siwo do ŋusẽ Israel ƒe kplɔlawo be woatsɔ David aɖo fiae abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ be ava eme ene la le ame etɔ̃.
11 Lolu yiluhlu lwalawo maqhawe kaDavida: UJashobheyamu, umHakhimoni, wayengumlawuli wezikhulu; waphakamisela amadoda angamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, ababulalayo ekuhlaseleni kunye.
Wo dometɔ gbãtɔe nye Yasobeam, ŋutsu aɖe si tso Hakmon. Eyae nye Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo, ame siwo nye aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ etɔ̃awo le David ƒe aʋakɔ la me la kplɔla. Ewu ame alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ kple eƒe akplɔ le aʋakpekpe ɖeka me.
12 Yena elandelwa ngu-Eliyazari indodana kaDodo umʼAhohi omunye wamaqhawe amathathu.
Ame Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dometɔ eveliae nye Eleazar, Dodai ƒe vi, ame si nye Ahohitɔ.
13 WayeloDavida ePhasi Damimi, ekuhlomeni kwamaFilistiya elungiselela ukudibana empini. Endaweni ethile kwakulensimu yebhali, amabutho abaleka ebalekela amaFilistiya.
Enɔ David ŋu le aʋa si Israelviwo wɔ kple Filistitɔwo le Pas Damim la me. Lu le agble aɖe me fũ le afi ma. Ke Israel ƒe aʋawɔla bubuawo katã si le Filistitɔwo nu.
14 Kodwa bona bema bajama phakathi kwensimu. Bayivikela bawabulala amaFilistiya, uThixo wabapha ukunqoba okukhulu.
Ke wotɔ ɖe agble la titina, hexɔe eye wowu Filistitɔwo. Yehowa na woɖu dzi gã aɖe.
15 Izinduna ezintathu kwezingamatshumi amathathu zaya edwaleni kuDavida ebhalwini lwase-Adulami, ngalesosikhathi amanye amaFilistiya ayebuthene eSigodini saseRefayi.
Le ɣe bubu ɣi la, David ƒe aʋafia blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ etɔ̃ yi David gbɔ le esime wòbe ɖe agado aɖe me le Adulam. Filistitɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Refaim balime.
16 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, iviyo lamabutho amaFilistiya laliseBhethilehema.
David nɔ mɔ la me eye Filistitɔwo ɖe aʋakɔ ɖo Betlehem le ɣe ma ɣi.
17 UDavida womela amanzi wasesithi, “Oh, sengathi kungaba lomuntu ongangikhela amanzi okunatha emthonjeni oseduze lesango laseBhethilehema!”
David gblɔ kple didi be, “Tsikɔ le wunyem vevie. Oo, ne ame aɖe aku tsi tso vudo si le Betlehem ƒe agbonu la me vɛ nam la anyo ŋutɔ.”
18 Ngakho abathathu laba badabula phakathi kweviyo lamaFilistiya bayakukha amanzi eduzane lesango laseBhethilehema bayawanika uDavida. Kodwa wala ukuwanatha, wakhetha ukuwathululela phambi kukaThixo.
Ke ame etɔ̃awo to Filistitɔwo dome, ku tsi tso vudo si te ɖe Betlehem ƒe agbo ŋu me yi na David. Ke David gbe meno tsi la o, ke boŋ etrɔe kɔ ɖi le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume.
19 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.
Egblɔ be, “Mawu nana nu sia wɔwɔ nate ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye. Ɖe mano ŋutsu siawo, ame siwo de woƒe agbe ke la ƒe ʋua?” Esi wode woƒe agbe xaxa me be woaku tsi la vɛ nɛ ta la, David menoe o.
20 U-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi wayeyinduna yabaThathu labo. Waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu amathathu, ababulalayo, ngakho waba lodumo njengabaThathu.
Abisai, Yoab nɔvi nye amegã na ame etɔ̃awo. Etsɔ eƒe akplɔ wu futɔ alafa etɔ̃ kpɔ ale wòxɔ ŋkɔ abe ame etɔ̃awo ene.
21 Waba lodumo oluphindwe kabili phezu kwalaba abaThathu waze waba ngumlawuli wabo, loba engazange abe phakathi kwabo.
Eyae nye tatɔ kple ame xɔŋkɔ le Ŋutsu Sesẽ Etɔ̃awo dome eye wòzu woƒe kplɔla togbɔ be womebui ɖe wo dome o hã.
22 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayeliqhawe elilesibindi laseKhabhizeli, elenza izenzo zobuqhawe obukhulu. Wabulala amaqhawe amaMowabi amabili ayezintshantshu ekulweni. Wake wangena emgodini wabulala isilwane mhla kulongqwaqwane.
Benaya Yehoiada ƒe vi, ame si fofo nye aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ aɖe tso Kabzeel la, wu ame dzɔtsu xɔŋkɔ eve siwo nɔ Moab nyigba dzi. Emegbe la, egawu dzata le do aɖe me gbe si gbe sno dza.
23 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.
Eye wòwu Egiptetɔ aɖe, ame si ƒe kɔkɔme anɔ mita eve kple afã. Togbɔ be Egiptetɔ la lé akplɔ si tri abe abaladoti ene ɖe asi hã la, Benaya lũ ɖe edzi kple kpo, dui le esi eye wòtsɔ Egiptetɔ la ŋutɔ ƒe akplɔ wui.
24 Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, laye futhi wayedume njengamaqhawe amathathu.
Nu siawoe Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi wɔ. Eya hã xɔ ŋkɔ abe ame sesẽ etɔ̃awo ene.
25 Wayehlonitshwa kakhulu ukwedlula bonke abangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa wayengabalwa kanye labaThathu. UDavida wambeka ukuba abe ngumphathi wabalindi bakhe.
Wobunɛ wu ame xɔŋkɔ Blaetɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gake womedee ame Etɔ̃awo dome o. Ke David tsɔe ɖo eŋudzɔlawo nu.
