1 Imilando 19
1 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi, uNahashi inkosi yama-Amoni wafa, ngakho indodana yakhe yathatha isikhundla yaba yinkosi.
MAHOPE mai o ia mea, make iho la o Nahasa ke alii o na mamo a Amona, a nohoalii iho la o Hanuna ma kona wahi.
2 UDavida wacabanga wathi, “Ngizakuba lomusa kuHanuni indodana kaNahashi ngoba uyise wayelomusa kimi.” Ngakho uDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyakhalela uHanuni ngoyise. Izithunywa zikaDavida zithe zifika kuHanuni ukuthi zimkhalele elizweni lama-Amoni,
Olelo iho la o Davida, E lokomaikai no wau ia Hanuna ke keiki a Nahasa; no ka mea, i lokomaikai mai kona makuakane ia'u. Hoouna aku la o Davida i na elele e hooluolu aku ia ia no kona makuakane. A hiki aku la na elele o Davida i ka aina o na mamo a Amona, io Hanuna la, e hooluolu ia ia.
3 izikhulu zama-Amoni zathi kuHanuni, “Wena nkosi unakana ukuthi uDavida uhlonipha uyihlo ngokuthuma izithunywa zokukukhalela na? Amadoda akhe la kawasizinhloli ezithunywe ukuzahlola umumo welizwe ukuze ahluthune umbuso na?”
Aka, o na alii o na mamo a Amona, i aku la lakou ia Hanuna, Ke manao nei anei oe, e hoomaikai mai o Davida i kou makuakane i kona hoouna ana mai iou la i na mea hooluolu? Aole anei i hele mai kana mau kauwa iou nei e makaikai, a e hookahuli, a e hoomakakiu mai i ka aina?
4 Ngenxa yalokho uHanuni wabamba izithunywa zikaDavida, waziphuca, waquma izigqoko zazo zafika ezibunu, wasezixotsha.
Nolaila, lalau mai la o Hanuna i na kauwa a Davida, a kahi ae la i ko lakou umiumi, a okioki iho la i ko lakou mau aahu mawaena, ma ko lakou kikala, a kipaku mai la ia lakou.
5 Kwathi uDavida esekuzwile lokho wathuma izithunywa ukuba zihlangabeze izithunywa, njengoba zazihlukuluzwe zayangiswa kakhulu. Inkosi yathi, “Lina hlalani eJerikho indevu zenu zize zikhule, libe selisiza ngapha.”
Hele mai la kekahi, a hai aku la ia Davida i ka mea i hanaia mai i ua mau kanaka la. Hoouna aku ia ia e halawai me lakou: no ka mea, ua hilahila loa lakou. I aku la ke alii, E noho oukou ma Ieriko, a ulu ae ko oukou umiumi, alaila e hoi mai
6 Kwathi ama-Amoni esebonile ukuthi asenuka emakhaleni kaDavida, uHanuni lama-Amoni bathumela amathalenta esiliva ayinkulungwane okuqhatsha izinqola zokulwa labatshayeli bazo e-Aramu Naharayimu, le-Aramu-Mahakha laseZobha.
A ike iho la na mamo a Amona, ua pilau lakou imua o Davida, hoouka aku la o Hanuna me na mamo a Amona i na talena kala he tausani e hoolimalima no lakou i na halekaa a me na hoohololio mai Mesopotamia, a mai Suria-maaka, a mai Zoba mai.
7 Baqhatsha izinqola zokulwa labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili, banxusa lenkosi uMahakha lamabutho akhe, yona eyeza yazakanisa eMedebha labantu bayo, ama-Amoni lawo eqoqana emadolobheni awo aphuma ukuya empini.
Hoolimalima ae la lakou i na kaa he kanakolukumamalua tausani, a me ke alii o Maaka, a me kona poe kanaka; a hele mai lakou a hoomoana imua o Medeba. Akoakoa mai la na mamo a Amona mailoko mai o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, a hele mai i ke kaua.
8 Uthe ekuzwa lokho uDavida, wathumela uJowabi kanye lamabutho akhe wonke.
A lohe ae la o Davida, hoouna aku la oia ia Ioaba, me ka puali a pau o ka poe ikaika.
9 Ama-Amoni asondela esehlome aphelela emangenelweni edolobho lakibo, kanti amakhosi ayenxusiwe ayejamile lawo wodwa egangeni.
Hele mai la ka poe mamo a Amona iwaho, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke alo o ka puka e komo ai iloko o ke kulanakauhale: a ku okoa ae la na alii i hiki mai ma ke kola.
10 UJowabi wabona ukuthi kwakulamaviyo amabutho phambi kwakhe langemva kwakhe, ngakho wakhetha amanye amaqhawe athenjiweyo ko-Israyeli wabahlela ukuba bamelane lama-Aramu.
A ike aku la o Ioaba i ke alo o na kaua, mamua kekahi, a mahope kekahi, wae aku la oia i ka poe ui a pau o ka Iseraela, a hoonohonoho aku la ia lakou e ku e i ko Suria
11 Amanye amabutho ayesele wathi kawalawulwe ngu-Abhishayi umfowabo, wona-ke ajamelana lama-Amoni.
A haawi aku la ia i ka poe i koe ma ka lima o Abisai kona kaikaina, a hoonohonoho aku oia ia lakou e ku e i na mamo a Amona.
12 UJowabi wasesithi, “Nxa ama-Aramu ezangikhulela, wena uzangihlomulela; kanti-ke nxa ama-Amoni ezakukhulela lami ngizakuhlomulela.
I aku la oia, Ina e oi aku ka ikaika o ko Suria i ko'u, alaila e kokua mai oe ia'u: aka, ina e oi aku ka ikaika o na mamo a Amona i kou, alaila au e kokua aku ia oe.
13 Qina, kasilwe ngesibindi silwela abantu bakithi lemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu. UThixo uzakwenza lokho okufaneleyo njengokubona kwakhe.”
I nui ka ikaika, a e koa hoi kakou no ko kakou lahuikanaka, a me na kulanakauhale no ko kakou Akua: a e hana mai o Iehova i ka mea pono imua o kona maka.
14 Ngakho uJowabi lamabutho ayelawo wasuka ukuyakulwa lama-Aramu, wona ahle abaleka phambi kwakhe.
Neenee aku la o Ioaba me na kanaka me ia imua o ko Suria, i ke kaua ana; a hee aku la lakou imua ona.
15 Kuthe ama-Amoni ebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayabaleka, abaleka lawo phambi kuka-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi, abuyela phakathi kwedolobho. Ngakho uJowabi wasebuyela eJerusalema.
A ike aku la na mamo a Amona, ua hee aku la ko Suria, alaila hee aku la hoi lakou imua o Abisai kona kaikaina, a komo aku la iloko o ke kulanakauhale. Alaila hele mai la o Ioaba i Ierusalema.
16 Kwathi ama-Aramu esebonile ukuthi ehlulwe ngama-Israyeli, athuma izithunywa zayaphendula ama-Aramu ayengaphetsheya koMfula, kanye loShofaki umlawuli wamabutho kaHadadezeri lamabutho ayekhokhele.
A ike ae la ko Suria, ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hoouna aku la lakou i na elele, a kai mai la lakou i ko Suria e noho ana ma kela aoao o ka muliwai: a imua o lakou o Sopaka ka lunakoa no Hadarezera.
17 Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu, waqoqa bonke abako-Israyeli, wachapha uJodani, wajamelana labo ngamaviyo ayeqondene laye. UDavida walungiselela amaviyo akhe ukudibana lama-Aramu empini, lakanye alwa lawo.
A hai aku la kekahi ia Davida: a hoakoakoa ae la oia i ka Iseraela a pau, a hele aku la ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a hiki aku la io lakou la, a hoonohonoho aku la i ke kaua ku e ia lakou. Aia hoonohonoho aku ai o Davida i ke kaua ku e ia lakou, alaila lakou i kaua mai me ia.
18 Abaleka ebona u-Israyeli, ngakho uDavida wabulala abatshayeli bezinqola zokulwa abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba ngezinyawo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. Waze wabulala loShofaki umlawuli wamabutho akhona.
A hee aku la ko Suria imua o ka Iseraela; a pepehi aku la o Davida i na kanaka o na halekaa ehiku tausani, a me na kanaka kaniwawae he kanaha tausani, a make iho la o Sopaka ka lunakaua.
19 Kwathi izinceku zikaHadadezeri zibona ukuthi zehlulwe ngabako-Israyeli, zaxolisana loDavida, zathela kuye. Ngakho ama-Aramu awathandanga ukunceda ama-Amoni kusukela lapho.
A ike iho la na kauwa a Hadarezera, ua pepehiia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, hookuikahi mai la lakou me Davida, a lilo iho la i poe kauwa nana Aole hoi i manao ko Suria e kokua hou aku i na mamo a Amona.
