1 Imilando 18
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi uDavida wahlasela amaFilistiya wawanqoba, wathumba iGathi lemizana eseduzane layo eyayiphethwe ngamaFilistiya.
Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, mo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu, mo ne kapasia ʻa Kati mo hono ngaahi kolo mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
2 UDavida wanqoba njalo amaMowabi aba ngaphansi kwakhe athela kuye.
Pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Moape; pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa.
3 Kanti njalo, uDavida walwa loHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, kwaze kwafika eHamathi, esiyamisa umbuso wakhe emangweni olandela uMfula iYufrathe.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa ʻo aʻu ki Hamati, lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ke fakamālohi hono puleʻanga ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
4 UDavida wathumba izinqola zakhe zokulwa eziyinkulungwane, abatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba phansi azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili. Wawaquma imisila wonke amabhiza ezinqola zokulwa kwasala alikhulu kuphela.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita meiate ia ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻe afe, mo e kakai heka hoosi ʻe toko fitu afe, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi foki ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi saliote, ka naʻa ne tuku ha [hoosi ]ki he saliote ʻe teau.
5 Kwathi ama-Aramu aseDamaseko ezoncedisa uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, uDavida wawatshaya wawabhuqa ama-Aramu kwafa azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili lambili.
Pea ʻi he kuonga naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi, ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Silia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano mo e ua afe.
6 Wenza izinqaba e-Aramu embusweni waseDamaseko, ama-Aramu aba ngaphansi kombuso wakhe athela kuye. UThixo wanika uDavida ukunqoba kuzozonke izindawo ayezihlasela.
Hili ia naʻe tuku ʻe Tevita [ha kautau ]ki Silia-Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi koloa. Naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
7 UDavida wathatha amahawu egolide ayephethwe yizikhulu zikaHadadezeri wawathwalela eJerusalema.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi sifa koula naʻe kofuʻaki ʻe he kakai ʻo Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.
8 Kusukela eThebha laseKhuni, imizi eyayingekaHadadezeri, uDavida wathatha khona ithusi elinengi kakhulu, lelo uSolomoni enza ngalo uLwandle lwethusi, izinsika lezinye impahla ezabunjwa ngethusi.
Pea mei Tipati foki, pea mei Kuni, ko e ongo kolo ʻa Hetatesa, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae palasa lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe ngaohiʻaki ʻe Solomone ʻae fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi, mo e ngaahi pou, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa.
9 Kuthe lapho Towu inkosi yaseHamathi isizwe ukuthi uDavida usenqobe lonke ibutho likaHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha,
Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Tou ko e tuʻi ʻo Hamati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻa Sopa;
10 wathumela indodana yakhe uHadoramu enkosini uDavida ukuthi iyembingelela emenzela amhlophe ngokunqoba uHadadezeri owayekade esilwa impi loTowu. UHadoramu wayethwele imihlobohlobo yezimpahla zegolide lesiliva kanye lezethusi.
Naʻa ne fekau ʻa Hatolami ko hono foha ke [ʻalu ]kia Tevita, ke ʻaʻahi fakakāinga kiate ia, mo ne lea lelei kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia; (he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Tou; ) pea naʻe [ʻoange ]mo ia ʻae ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva mo e palasa.
11 Inkosi uDavida yazahlukanisela kuThixo, lezo zinto njengalokho eyayikwenze impahla zegolide lesiliva ezazithunjwe kulezozizwe zama-Edomi lamaMowabi, lama-Amoni, lamaFilistiya lama-Amaleki.
Naʻe fakatapui foki ia ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻaia mo e siliva mo e koula naʻa ne ʻomi mei he ngaahi puleʻanga [ko ia]; mei ʻItomi, pea mo Moape, pea mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mei he kakai Filisitia, pea mei ʻAmaleki.
12 U-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya watshaya wabhuqa ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili eSigodini seTswayi.
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ʻApisai foki ko e tama ʻa Seluia ʻae kau ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe ʻi he potu talalo ʻoe māsima.
13 Wabeka inkamba zamabutho okulinda e-Edomi, bonke abase-Edomi babangaphansi kombuso kaDavida. UThixo wapha uDavida ukunqoba kuzozonke izindawo ayesiya kuzo.
Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻi ʻItomi; pea naʻe hoko ʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Tevita ʻae kakai ʻItomi kotoa pē. naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
14 UDavida wabusa kulolonke elako-Israyeli, esenza okuqondileyo lokulungele abantu bakhe bonke.
Ko ia, naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kātoa, mo ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e pule totonu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kakai kotoa pē.
15 UJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephethe amabutho; uJehoshafathi indodana ka-Ahiludi engumlobi,
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia ki he kautau; pea ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute ko e tangata tohi meʻa fakapuleʻanga ia.
16 uZadokhi indodana ka-Ahithubi lo-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Abhiyathari babengabaphristi; uShavisha wayengumabhalane;
Pea ko Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, mo ʻApimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻakinaua; pea ko Savisa ko e tangata tohi ia;
17 uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephethe amaKherethi lamaPhelethi, lamadodana kaDavida ayeyizikhulu ayeseduzane lenkosi embusweni.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata ki he kakai Keliti mo e kakai Peleti; pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita naʻe tuʻu ʻo ofi ki he tuʻi.
