1 Amakhosi 1
1 Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũthamaki Daudi aakũrire na agatindĩka mĩaka-rĩ, ndaiguaga ũrugarĩ o na mamũhumbĩra na nguo.
2 Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata ciake ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke tũcarie mũirĩtu mwĩthĩ gathirange, atungatagĩre mũthamaki na ũndũ wa kũmũmenyerera, na akomage hamwe nake nĩguo mũthamaki, mwathi witũ, aiguage ũrugarĩ.”
3 Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
Magĩetha mũirĩtu mũthaka Isiraeli guothe, makĩona Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami, na makĩmũrehe kũrĩ mũthamaki.
4 Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
Mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩ mũthaka mũno; nake akĩmenyerera mũthamaki na akĩmũtungatĩra, no mũthamaki ndaigana gũkoma nake.
5 Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
Na rĩrĩ, Adonija, ũrĩa nyina aarĩ Hagithu, akĩĩyumĩria, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ ngũtuĩka mũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthagathaga ngaari cia ita na mbarathi, na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano mathiiage matengʼerete marĩ mbere yake.
6 (Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
(Ithe ndaamũkaanĩtie ũndũ, kana akamũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩkĩte ũna na ũna nĩkĩ?” Ningĩ aarĩ mũndũ mũthaka mũno, na nĩwe waciarĩtwo thuutha wa Abisalomu.)
7 U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.
Nake Adonija akĩrĩkanĩra na Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia, na Abiatharu mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nao magĩtĩkĩra kũmũteithĩrĩria.
8 Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
No Zadoku mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, na Shimei, na Rei, na arangĩri arĩa a mwanya a Daudi matianyiitanĩire na Adonija.
9 U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
Nake Adonija akĩruta igongona rĩa ngʼondu, na ngʼombe, na njaũ iria noru Ihiga-inĩ rĩa Zohelethu, hakuhĩ na Eni-Rogeli. Nake agĩĩta ariũ a ithe othe, na nĩo ariũ a mũthamaki, na andũ othe a Juda arĩa maarĩ anene a nyũmba ya ũthamaki,
10 kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
no ndaigana gwĩta Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, kana Benaia, kana arangĩri arĩa a mwanya, o na kana mũrũ wa ithe Solomoni.
11 Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
Nake Nathani akĩũria Bathisheba, nyina wa Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩũiguĩte atĩ Adonija mũrũ wa Hagithu nĩatuĩkĩte mũthamaki, Daudi mwathi witũ atekũmenya?
12 Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.
Na rĩrĩ, reke ngũtaare ũrĩa ũngĩhota kũhonokia muoyo waku na muoyo wa mũrũguo Solomoni.
13 Ngena lapha okulenkosi uDavida khona ufike uthi kuyo, ‘Wena omkhulu nkosi yami, awufunganga na phambi kwami mina sichaka sakho ukuthi: “Ngoqotho sibili indodana yakho uSolomoni uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwakho, uzahlala esihlalweni sami”? Kungani pho u-Adonija esebe yinkosi?’
Ũkĩra ũthiĩ kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, githĩ ndwehĩtire kũrĩ niĩ, ndungata yaku ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Ti-itherũ Solomoni mũrũguo nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki thuutha wakwa, na nĩwe ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩakwa gĩa ũthamaki”? Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Adonija atuĩke mũthamaki?’
14 Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
Ũrĩ o kũu ũkĩaria na mũthamaki, na niĩ njũke ndoonye kuo nĩguo njĩkĩre hinya ũguo ũkũmwĩra.”
15 Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bathisheba agĩthiĩ kuona mũthamaki ũcio mũkũrũ kanyũmba gake ga thĩinĩ, kũrĩa aatungatagĩrwo nĩ Abishagi ũrĩa Mũshunami.
16 UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
Bathisheba akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturia ndu mbere ya mũthamaki. Nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda atĩa?”
17 Wathi kuyo, “nkosi yami, wena uqobo lwakho wafunga kimi inceku yakho ngoThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi: ‘USolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi.’
Akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, wee mwene nĩwehĩtire harĩ niĩ ndungata yaku na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai waku, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: ‘Solomoni mũrũguo nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki thuutha wakwa, na nĩwe ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene.’
18 Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
No rĩrĩ, Adonija nĩatuĩkĩte mũthamaki, na wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ndũmenyete ũhoro ũcio.
19 Usenikele ngenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, kanye lezimvu, njalo usenxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, u-Abhiyathari umphristi kanye loJowabi umlawuli webutho, kodwa kamnxusanga uSolomoni inceku yakho.
Nĩarutĩte igongona inene rĩa ngʼombe nyingĩ, na njaũ noru, na ngʼondu, na ageeta ariũ a mũthamaki othe, na Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joabu ũrĩa mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita, no ndetĩte Solomoni ndungata yaku.
20 Mbusi wami, nkosi, abako-Israyeli bonke bakukhangele, badinga ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi ngemva kwakho.
Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩwe macũthĩrĩirie, nĩguo ũmamenyithie nũũ ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene thuutha waku wee mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa.
21 Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
Kwaga ũguo-rĩ, rĩrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa agaakoma ahurũke hamwe na maithe make, niĩ na mũrũ wakwa Solomoni tũgaatuuo ta andũ ageri ngero.”
22 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aaragia na mũthamaki, Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii agĩkinya.
23 Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
Nao makĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũnabii Nathani arĩ haha.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nathani agĩthiĩ mbere ya mũthamaki, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
24 UNathani wabuza wathi, “Kambe, nkosi yami, nguwe na othe u-Adonija uzamele athathe ubukhosi bakho ungasekho wena, utshilo na ukuthi uzahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi?
Nathani akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa-rĩ, nĩũtuĩte atĩ Adonija nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki thuutha waku, na atĩ nĩwe ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene?
25 Lamuhla lokhu wehlile wayakwenza umhlatshelo wenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, lezimvu. Unxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, abalawuli bamabutho enkosi kanye lo-Abhiyathari umphristi. Khona khathesi nje bayadla benatha kanye laye besitsho besithi, ‘Mpilonde nkosi Adonija!’
Ũmũthĩ nĩaikũrũkĩte na akaruta igongona inene rĩa ngʼombe nyingĩ, na njaũ noru, na ngʼondu. Na ageeta ariũ a mũthamaki othe, na anene a thigari othe, na Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Rĩu nĩ kũrĩa maraarĩa na makanyua marĩ hamwe nake, makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki Adonija arotũũra nginya tene!’
26 Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndungata yaku, na Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, na ndungata yaku Solomoni ndanatwĩta.
27 Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
Ũndũ ũyũ-rĩ, nĩ mũthamaki mwathi wakwa wĩkĩte atamenyithĩtie ndungata ciake nũũ ũgũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa thuutha wake?”
28 Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtai Bathisheba oke.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bathisheba agĩũka harĩ mũthamaki, akĩrũgama mbere yake.
29 Inkosi yasifunga yathi: “Ngeqiniso lokuthi uThixo wami ngophilayo, lowo owangikhipha ezinhluphekweni zami zonke,
Nake mũthamaki akĩĩhĩta, akiuga atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa wanaahonokia kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mothe,
30 ngempela khona lamuhla lokhu ngizagcwalisa lokho engakufunga ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: uSolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami esikhundleni sami.”
ti-itherũ ũmũthĩ nĩguo ngũhingia ũrĩa ndehĩtire kũrĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ: Solomoni mũrũguo nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũthamaki thuutha wakwa, na nĩwe ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene handũ hakwa.”
31 Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
Nake Bathisheba akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, na agĩturia ndu mbere ya mũthamaki, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa Daudi arotũũra nginya tene!”
32 INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
Mũthamaki Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtai Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, na Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada moke.” Rĩrĩa mookire mbere ya mũthamaki,
33 yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu lihambe lazo liyekhweza uSolomoni indodana yami phezu kwembongolo yami lehle laye liye eGihoni.
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi na ndungata cia mwathi wanyu na mũhaicie Solomoni mũrũ wakwa igũrũ rĩa nyũmbũ yakwa, mũmũikũrũkie nginya Gihoni.
34 Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’
Mũrĩ kũu, mũreke Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii mamũitĩrĩrie maguta atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli. Ningĩ mũhuhe karumbeta, na mwanĩrĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki Solomoni arotũũra nginya tene!’
35 Lizakhwela laye, abuye azohlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi aze abuse esikhundleni sami. Sengimkhethile ukuthi abuse phezu kuka-Israyeli lakoJuda.”
Ningĩ mũcooke mwambate nake, oke aikarĩre gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene, na athamake handũ hakwa. Nĩndĩmũthuurĩte aathanage Isiraeli na Juda.”
36 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ameni! Jehova, Ngai wa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa arotũma gũtuĩke guo.
37 Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
O ta ũrĩa Jehova akoretwo arĩ hamwe na mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, aroikara hamwe na Solomoni na atũme wathani wake ũnenehe gũkĩra wathani wa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa Daudi!”
38 Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
Tondũ ũcio Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, na Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, hamwe na Akerethi na Apelethi, magĩikũrũka, makĩhaicia Solomoni nyũmbũ ya Mũthamaki Daudi, makĩmumagaria nginya Gihoni.
39 UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩruta rũhĩa rwa maguta kuuma hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre na agĩitĩrĩria Solomoni. Ningĩ makĩhuha karumbeta, nao andũ othe makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki Solomoni arotũũra nginya tene!”
40 Bonke bamlandela, bavuthela imihubhe bejabula kakhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka umhlaba.
Andũ othe makĩambata mamũrũmĩrĩire, makĩhuhaga mĩtũrirũ me na gĩkeno kĩnene, nginya thĩ ĩgĩthingitha nĩ mũrurumo.
41 U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”
Adonija na ageni othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makĩigua mũrurumo ũcio rĩrĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ kũrĩĩkia iruga rĩao. Rĩrĩa maiguire mũgambo wa karumbeta, Joabu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Inegene rĩu rĩothe rĩrĩ itũũra-inĩ nĩ rĩa kĩĩ?”
42 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
O akĩaragia-rĩ, Jonathani mũrũ wa Abiatharu ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩkinya. Adonija akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Toonya thĩinĩ. Mũndũ wa bata tawe no nginya akorwo nĩ ũhoro mwega aatũrehere.”
43 UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
Jonathani agĩcookia atĩrĩ; “Aca ti ũguo! Mũthamaki Daudi mwathi witũ nĩatuĩte Solomoni mũthamaki.
44 Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
Mũthamaki nĩoimagarĩtie Solomoni hamwe na Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, na Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada, na Akerethi na Apelethi, na nĩmahaicĩtie Solomoni nyũmbũ ya mũthamaki,
45 Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
na rĩrĩ, Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii nĩmamũitĩrĩirie maguta kũu Gihoni atuĩke mũthamaki. Kuuma hau nĩmambatĩte makiugagĩrĩria, narĩo itũũra rĩothe rĩkamaamũkĩria. Rĩu nĩrĩo inegene rĩrĩa mũraigua.
46 Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
O na ningĩ, Solomoni nĩaikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩa ũthamaki.
47 Phezu kwalokho izikhulu zesikhosini sezifikile ukuthi zizokwenzela iNkosi uDavida amhlophe zisithi, ‘Sengathi uNkulunkulu wakho angenza ibizo likaSolomoni lidume kulelakho kuthi lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sibe lodumo ukwedlula esakho!’ Ngalokho inkosi yakhothama yakhonza isembhedeni wayo
Ningĩ atongoria a ũthamaki nĩmokĩte gũcookeria Mũthamaki Daudi, mwathi witũ, ngaatho, makoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Ngai waku arotũma rĩĩtwa rĩa Solomoni rĩgĩe na ngumo gũkĩra rĩaku, naguo ũthamaki wake ũroneneha gũkĩra waku!’ Nake mũthamaki nĩainamĩrĩra na aakĩgooca arĩ o gĩtanda-inĩ,
48 yathi, ‘Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ovumele ukuthi ngizibonele ngawami amehlo lowo ozathatha isihlalo sami sobukhosi lamuhla.’”
oiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli arogoocwo, ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩrĩtie maitho makwa meyonere mwana ũmwe wakwa agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene ũmũthĩ.’”
49 Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ageni othe a Adonija makĩmaka, magĩũkĩra, magĩĩthiĩra, o mũndũ na njĩra yake.
50 Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.
No rĩrĩ, Adonija, nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Solomoni, agĩthiĩ akĩĩnyiitĩrĩra hĩa cia kĩgongona.
51 USolomoni wasetshelwa ukuthi, “U-Adonija uyayesaba iNkosi uSolomoni ngakho usegagadlele impondo ze-alithare. Uthi yena, ‘INkosi uSolomoni kayifunge kimi lamuhla ithi kayiyikubulala isichaka sayo ngenkemba.’”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni akĩmenyithio atĩrĩ, “Adonija nĩaretigĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni, na nĩenyiitĩrĩire hĩa cia kĩgongona. Aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩehĩte harĩ niĩ ũmũthĩ anjĩĩre atĩ ndekũũraga ndungata yake na rũhiũ rwa njora.’”
52 USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
Solomoni agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Angĩona atĩ nĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩire, gũtirĩ rũcuĩrĩ rwake rwa mũtwe rũkaagũa thĩ; no angĩoneka na ũũru no agaakua.”
53 Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni yathumela amadoda, ayamethula e-alithareni abuya laye. Ngalokho u-Adonija weza wafika wazehlisa wakhothama enkosini uSolomoni, yena uSolomoni wathi. “Hamba, yana emzini wakho.”
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩtũma andũ, nao makĩmũikũrũkia kuuma kĩgongona-inĩ. Adonija akĩinamĩrĩra harĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni, nake Solomoni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inũka gwaku mũciĩ.”
