1 Imilando 11
1 Bonke abako-Israyeli baya kuDavida eHebhroni bafika bathi: “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
A LAILA akoakoa ae la ka Iseraela a pau io Davida la i Heberona, i mai la, Eia hoi, hookahi no ko kakou iwi a me ka io.
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.’”
I ka wa mamua no hoi, ia Saula i alii ai, o oe no ka mea nana i alakai aku a i alakai mai i ka Iseraela: i mai la hoi o Iehova o kou Akua ia oe, E hanai oe i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela; a e lilo oe i alii no ko'u poe kanaka no ka Iseraela.
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.
Nolaila, i hele mai na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela i ke alii ma Heberona; a hoopaa iho la o Davida i berita me lakou ma Heberona, imua o Iehova: a poni iho la lakou ia Davida i alii no ka Iseraela, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ma o Samuela la.
4 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli baya eJerusalema (kusitsho iJebusi). AmaJebusi ayehlala khona
Hele aku la o Davida me ka Iseraela a pau i Ierusalema, oia o Iebusa. kahi i noho ai ka Iebusa, na kanaka o ia aina.
5 athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha.” Kodwa lanxa kunjalo, uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
Olelo mai la na kanaka o Iebusa ia Davida, Aole oe e hele mai ia nei. Aka, lawe lilo o Davida i ka pakaua o Ziona, oia ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
6 UDavida wayethe, “Ozakhokhela ekuhlaseleni amaJebusi uzakuba nguMlawuli omkhulu wempi.” UJowabi indodana kaZeruya nguye owaqala ukuya khona, ngakho wazuza ubukhokheli.
I mai la o Davida, O ka mea pepehi mua i ka Iebusi, e lilo ia i pookela a i lunakoa. A o Ioaba, o ke keiki a Zeruia i pii mua aku la, a lilo ae la ia i pookela.
7 UDavida wasehlala enqabeni, yikho yathiwa ibizo lokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida.
A noho iho la o Davida ma ka pakaua; nolaila, kapa aku la lakou ia wahi, O ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
8 Wakha idolobho inxa zonke kusukela emadundulwini kuze kuyefinyelela emidulini ehonqolozeleyo, ngalesosikhathi uJowabi esakha evuselela umuzi.
Kukulu iho la ia i ke kulanakauhale a puni, mai Milo aku a puni: a kukulu hou iho la o Ioaba i na wahi i koe o ke kulanakauhale.
9 UDavida waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla, ngoba uThixo uSomandla wayelaye.
Mahuahua ae la o Davida a nui loa: no ka mea, me ia pu o Iehova sabaota.
10 Lezi zinduna zamaqhawe kaDavida ezazimsekele ngokuqinileyo embusweni kanye laye wonke u-Israyeli, ukuba abe yinkosi, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo.
Eia hoi na pookela o na kanaka ikaika ia Davida, ka poe i hooikaika pu me ia iloko o kona aupuni a me ka Iseraela a pau, e hooalii ia ia, e like me ka olelo a Iehova no ka Iseraela.
11 Lolu yiluhlu lwalawo maqhawe kaDavida: UJashobheyamu, umHakhimoni, wayengumlawuli wezikhulu; waphakamisela amadoda angamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, ababulalayo ekuhlaseleni kunye.
Eia ka helu ana o na kanaka ikaika ia Davida: o Iasobeama ka Hakemoni, ke pookela o na lunakoa: hoaka ae la ia i kana ihe e ku e i na haneri kanaka ekolu, a make lakou i ka manawa hookahi.
12 Yena elandelwa ngu-Eliyazari indodana kaDodo umʼAhohi omunye wamaqhawe amathathu.
Mahope iho ona o Eleazara ke keiki a Dodo ka Ahohi, kekahi o na kanaka ikaika loa ekolu.
13 WayeloDavida ePhasi Damimi, ekuhlomeni kwamaFilistiya elungiselela ukudibana empini. Endaweni ethile kwakulensimu yebhali, amabutho abaleka ebalekela amaFilistiya.
Aia no ia me Davida ma Padamima, ilaila i akoakoa ai ko Pilisetia i ke kaua, i kahi i paa pu ai ka honua i ka bale: a naholo aku la na kanaka imua o ko pilisetia.
14 Kodwa bona bema bajama phakathi kwensimu. Bayivikela bawabulala amaFilistiya, uThixo wabapha ukunqoba okukhulu.
A ku iho la lakou iwaena konu o ua aina la, a hoomalu iho la ia wahi, a pepehi iho la i ko Pilisetia; a hoola ae la o Iehova ia lakou i ke ola nui.
15 Izinduna ezintathu kwezingamatshumi amathathu zaya edwaleni kuDavida ebhalwini lwase-Adulami, ngalesosikhathi amanye amaFilistiya ayebuthene eSigodini saseRefayi.
Iho aku la na mea ekolu o ka poe luna he kanakolu i kahi paa io Davida la iloko o ke ana o Adulama: a hoomoana iho la ka poe kauwa o Pilisetia ma ke awawa i Repaima.
16 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, iviyo lamabutho amaFilistiya laliseBhethilehema.
Haila o Davida iloko o kahi paa, a ma Betolehema ka pakaua o ko Pilisetia ia manawa.
17 UDavida womela amanzi wasesithi, “Oh, sengathi kungaba lomuntu ongangikhela amanzi okunatha emthonjeni oseduze lesango laseBhethilehema!”
Makewai iho la o Davida, i mai la, Nani ino kuu makemake e haawi mai kekahi i wai e inu no ka luawai mai o Betelehema, aia ma ka ipuka!
18 Ngakho abathathu laba badabula phakathi kweviyo lamaFilistiya bayakukha amanzi eduzane lesango laseBhethilehema bayawanika uDavida. Kodwa wala ukuwanatha, wakhetha ukuwathululela phambi kukaThixo.
Wahi ae la aa mau kanaka ekolu la i ka poe kaua o ko Pilisetia, a huki mai la i ka wai, mailoko o ka luawai o Betelehema ma ka ipuka, lalau aku la, a lawe mai la io Davida la: aka, aole o Davida i manao e inu ia mea, a ninini aku no ia mea no Iehova.
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.
I aku la ia, E papa mai ko'u Akua ia'u. i ole au e hana ia mea: e inu no auei au i ke koko o keia mau kanaka, me ko lakou ola? no ka mea, me ke ola wale no lakou i lawe mai nei ia mea: nolaila, aole ia i make inu. Pela i hana'i ia mau kanaka ikaika loa ekolu.
20 U-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi wayeyinduna yabaThathu labo. Waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu amathathu, ababulalayo, ngakho waba lodumo njengabaThathu.
A o Abisai ke kaikaina o Ioaba, oia ke pookela o na mea ekolu: no ka mea, hoaka ae la ia i kona ihe e ku e i na kanaka ekolu haneri, a pepehi iho la ia ia lakou, a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ua mau kanaka ikaika la ekolu.
21 Waba lodumo oluphindwe kabili phezu kwalaba abaThathu waze waba ngumlawuli wabo, loba engazange abe phakathi kwabo.
No na mea ekolu, ua oi aku kona koikoi imua o na mea elua, nolaila, oia ko laua luna: aka, aole i hiki aku kona e like me ko kela poe ekolu.
22 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayeliqhawe elilesibindi laseKhabhizeli, elenza izenzo zobuqhawe obukhulu. Wabulala amaqhawe amaMowabi amabili ayezintshantshu ekulweni. Wake wangena emgodini wabulala isilwane mhla kulongqwaqwane.
O Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, ke keiki a kekahi kanaka ikaika no Kabezeela, he nui kana hana kupanaha: pepehi iho la ia i elua kanaka ikaika loa o Moaba: iho iho la hoi ia iloko o ka lua, a pepehi iho la i ka liona i ka la e haule ana ka hau.
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.
Pepehi iho la hoi oia i kekahi kanaka Aigupita, he kanaka nunui, he elima hailima ke kiekie: a he ihe no ma ka lima o ka Aigupita, e like me ka laau o ka mea ulana lole: a iho aku la kela io na la me ke kookoo, a kaili ae la i ka ihe mailoko ae o ka lima o ka Aigupita, a pepehi iho la ia ia me kana ihe.
24 Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, laye futhi wayedume njengamaqhawe amathathu.
O na mea keia a Benaia a ke keiki a Iehoiada i hana'i, a loaa ia ia ka inoa iwaena o ka poe kanaka ikaika ekolu.
25 Wayehlonitshwa kakhulu ukwedlula bonke abangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa wayengabalwa kanye labaThathu. UDavida wambeka ukuba abe ngumphathi wabalindi bakhe.
Aia hoi, he koikoi no ia iwaena o ke kanakolu, aole hoi i hiki aku kona i ko kela poe ekolu. A hoonoho aku la o Davida ia ia i kuhina nona.
