2 USamuyeli 12
1 UThixo wathuma uNathani kuDavida. Esefikile kuye wathi, “Kwakulabantu ababili emzini othile, omunye enothile omunye engumyanga.
Awo Mukama n’atuma Nasani eri Dawudi amugambe nti, “Waaliwo abasajja babiri mu kibuga ekimu, omu nga mugagga, omulala nga mwavu.
2 Umuntu onothileyo wayelezimvu ezinengi kanye lenkomo,
Omugagga yalina ebisibo by’endiga bingi n’ente nnyingi;
3 kodwa umuntu ongumyanga wayengelalutho ngaphandle kwezinyane lemvu elincinyane ayelithengile. Walondla, lakhula laye kanye labantwana bakhe. Ladla ukudla kwakhe, lanatha enkomitshini yakhe laze lalala ezingalweni zakhe. Kuye lalinjengendodakazi yakhe.
naye omwavu nga taliiko bw’ali wabula yalina omwana gw’endiga gumu nga muluusi gwe yagula. N’alabirira omwana gw’endiga ogwo, ne gukula n’abaana be, ne gugabananga ku mmere ye, ne gunyweranga wamu naye, era n’aguleranga. Gwali ng’omwana we owoobuwala gy’ali.
4 Kwafika isihambi emuntwini onothileyo, kodwa umuntu onothileyo kafunanga ukuthatha enye yezimvu zakhe loba inkomo ukuba ahlabele isihambi esasifike kuye. Esikhundleni salokho, yena wathatha izinyane lemvu elisikazi elalingelomuntu lowo ongumyanga, walihlabela lowo owayefike kuye.”
“Lwali lumu ne wajja omutambuze eri nnaggagga, naye nnaggagga oyo n’atayagala kuddira emu ku ndiga ze oba nte ze okuteekerateekera omutambuze oyo ekyokulya. Kyeyava addira omwana gw’endiga guli ogw’omwavu n’aguteekerateekera omugenyi we.”
5 UDavida wavutha ulaka ngalowomuntu wathi kuNathani, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, umuntu owenze lokhu ufanele ukufa!
Awo Dawudi n’asunguwalira nnyo omusajja nnaggagga, n’ayogera nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, omusajja akoze ekintu bwe kityo ateekwa
6 Izinyane lelo kumele alihlawule ngokuphindwe kane, ngoba enze into enje njalo engabanga lozwelo.”
okusasula emirundi ena olw’ekikolwa ekyo, kubanga talina kusaasira, era asaanira attibwe.”
7 UNathani wasesithi kuDavida, “Unguye lowomuntu! Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Ngakugcoba ukuba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli, ngakuhlenga esandleni sikaSawuli.
Nasani n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Omusajja oyo ye ggwe. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nakufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, ne nkulokola mu mukono gwa Sawulo,
8 Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho, labafazi benkosi yakho ngabanikela ezandleni zakho. Ngakunika indlu ka-Israyeli lekaJuda. Aluba konke lokhu kwakukuncane kakhulu ngangizakunika okunye futhi.
ne nkuwa ennyumba ya mukama wo, ne nkukwasa ne bakyala ba mukama wo, ne nkuwa ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne Yuda; ebyo singa byali tebimala nandikwongedde bingi n’okusingawo.
9 Kungani weyise ilizwi likaThixo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni akhe na? Ubulele u-Uriya umHithi ngenkemba wasuthatha umkakhe ukuba abe ngowakho. Umbulele ngenkemba yama-Amoni.
Kiki ekikunyoomezza ekigambo kya Mukama, n’okukola n’okola ekibi bwe kityo mu maaso ge? Watta Uliya Omukiiti n’ekitala, n’otwala mukyala we n’omufuula owuwo.’
10 Ngakho, khathesi, inkemba kayiyikusuka endlini yakho, ngoba ungeyisile wathatha umka-Uriya umHithi ukuba abe ngowakho.’
Wamutta n’ekitala eky’Abaana ba Amoni. Noolwekyo ekitala tekiriva mu nnyumba yo, kubanga onnyoomye n’otwala mukyala wa Uliya Omukiiti n’omufuula owuwo.
11 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Ngizakulethela incithakalo ezavela kwabendlu yakho. Phambi kwamehlo akho uqobo, ngizathatha omkakho ngibaphe omunye oseduzane lawe, embathe labo emini libalele.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Laba, ndireeta ekikolimo mu nnyumba yo, ne nzirira bakyala bo ng’olaba ne mbawa muliraanwa wo, ne yeebaka nabo emisana.
12 Wena wakwenza ensitha, kodwa mina into le ngizayenza emini libalele phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke.’”
Wakikola mu kyama, naye nze ndikikola mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna, emisana.’”
13 UDavida wasesithi kuNathani, “Ngenze isono kuThixo.” UNathani waphendula wathi, “UThixo usesusile isono sakho. Kawuyikufa.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Nasani nti, “Nnyonoonye Mukama.” Nasani n’addamu nti, “Kale, Mukama aggyeewo ekyonoono kyo era toofe.
14 Kodwa njengoba ngokwenza lokhu wenze izitha zikaThixo zatshengisela ukweyisa okupheleleyo, umntwana ozamzalelwa uzakufa.”
Naye olw’ekikolwa ekyo, oleetedde abalabe ba Mukama okumunyooma, omwana anaakuzaalirwa kyanaava afa.”
15 Emva kokuba uNathani esebuyele ekhaya, uThixo wamtshaya umntwana umka-Uriya ayemzalele uDavida, wagula.
Nasani bwe yaddayo eka, Mukama n’alwaza nnyo omwana muka wa Uliya gwe yazaala.
16 UDavida wamkhulekela umntwana kuNkulunkulu. Wazila ukudla wangena endlini yakhe walala phansi ubusuku ngobusuku.
Dawudi ne yeegayirira Katonda ku lw’omwana, n’asiiba, n’agenda mu nnyumba ye n’amala ekiro kyonna nga yeebase wansi.
17 Abadala bendlu yakwabo bema eceleni kwakhe ukuba bamvuse phansi, kodwa wala, njalo kadlanga kudla labo.
Abakadde ab’ennyumba ye ne bagendanga gy’ali, okumuwaliriza asituke, alye ne ku mmere, naye n’agaana.
18 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavida zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana wayesefile ngoba zacabanga zathi, “Umntwana esaphila, sikhulume loDavida kodwa kasilalelanga. Pho singamtshela njani ukuthi umntwana usefile? Angenza into eyingozi.”
Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu omwana n’afa. Naye abaddu ba Dawudi ne batya okumutegeeza nti omwana afudde, nga bagamba, nti, “Omwana bwe yali omulamu twagezaako okwogera naye, n’atatuwuliriza, olwo binaabeera bitya bwe tunaamubuulira nti omwana afudde? Ayinza okutabukira ddala.”
19 UDavida wananzelela ukuthi izinceku zakhe zazinyenyezelana wasebona ukuthi umntwana wayesefile. Wabuza wathi, “Umntwana usefile na?” Baphendula bathi, “Ye, usefile.”
Naye Dawudi n’alaba abaddu be nga boogera obwama, n’ategeera nti omwana afudde. N’ababuuza nti, “Omwana afudde?” Ne baddamu nti, “Afudde.”
20 Lapho-ke uDavida wavuka phansi. Emva kokuba esegezile, wagcoba wantshintsha iziqgoko, waya endlini kaThixo wakhonza. Emva kwalokho waya kweyakhe indlu, kwathi ngokucela kwakhe bamlethela ukudla, wadla.
Awo Dawudi n’ava wansi, n’anaabako, ne yeerongoosa, n’akyusa ebyambalo bye, n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’asinza. Oluvannyuma n’addayo mu nnyumba ye, n’asaba emmere, n’alya.
21 Izinceku zakhe zambuza zathi, “Kungani uqhuba ngale indlela na? Umntwana esaphila, uzile ukudla wakhala, kodwa khathesi umntwana esefile, uyavuka udle!”
Abaddu be ne bamubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’okola? Omwana bwe yali omulamu, wasiiba n’okaaba, naye kati afudde, ogolokose, olya!”
22 Waphendula wathi, “Umntwana esaphila, ngizile ukudla ngakhala. Ngicabange ngathi, ‘Kwazi bani? Mhlawumbe uThixo angaba lomusa kimi ekele umntwana aphile.’
N’addamu nti, “Omwana we yabeerera omulamu, n’asiiba ne nkaaba, nga ndowooza nti, ‘Ani amanyi, Mukama ayinza okunsaasira, omwana n’aba mulamu?’
23 Kodwa khathesi esefile ngingabe ngisazilelani na? Kambe ngingamvusa na? Mina ngizakuya kuye, kodwa yena kazukubuya kimi.”
Naye kaakano afudde, kiki ekinsiibya? Nkyayinza okumukomyawo? Nze ndigenda gy’ali, naye ye talikomawo gye ndi.”
24 Emva kwalokho uDavida waduduza umkakhe uBhathishebha, waya kuye wembatha laye. Wazala indodana abayithi nguSolomoni. UThixo wayemthanda;
Awo Dawudi n’akubagiza mukyala we Basuseba, ne yeetaba naye, n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, ne bamutuuma Sulemaani, Mukama n’amwagala,
25 njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayemthanda, wathumela ilizwi ngoNathani umphrofethi ukuba athiwe nguJedidiya.
era olw’okwagala okwo, Mukama kyeyava atuma Nasani nnabbi n’amutuuma Yedidiya, amakulu nti ayagalibwa Mukama.
26 Ngasikhathi sinye uJowabi wahlasela iRabha yama-Amoni wathumba inqaba yenkosi.
Mu biro ebyo Yowaabu n’alwana n’abaana ba Amoni, n’awamba Labba ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
27 Emva kwalokho uJowabi wathuma izithunywa kuDavida, esithi, “Ngihlasele iRabha ngathumba imithombo yamanzi.
Yowaabu n’atumira Dawudi nti, “Nnumbye Labba, era n’amazzi gaabwe ngasazeeko.
28 Khathesi-ke qoqa amabutho aseleyo uvimbezele idolobho ulithumbe. Kungenjalo mina ngizalithatha idolobho, libe selibizwa ngami.”
Kaakano kuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna, otabaale ekibuga ekikulu, okiwambe, nga sinnaba kukitwala, ne kituumibwa erinnya lyange.”
29 Ngakho uDavida waqoqa ibutho lonke waya eRabha, wayihlasela wayithumba.
Awo Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna n’ayolekera Labba, n’akirumba era n’akiwamba.
30 UDavida wathatha umqhele owawusekhanda lenkosi yabo, isisindo sawo sasilithalenta legolide, uceciswe ngamatshe aligugu njalo wafakwa ekhanda lakhe. Wathatha impango enengi kakhulu kulelodolobho
N’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agyetikkira ku mutwe gwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga.
31 njalo abantu ababelapho wabasusa wabasa lapho ababezasebenza khona gadalala ngamasaha, ngamapiki ensimbi kanye lamahloka, wabasebenzisa ekwenzeni izitina. Lokhu uDavida wakwenza kuyo yonke imizi yama-Amoni. Emva kwalokho uDavida lebutho lakhe lonke babuyela eJerusalema.
N’aggya abantu abaali mu kibuga, n’abatwala okuba abapakasi; ne bakozesanga emisomeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi, n’abalala ne babumbanga amatoffaali. Mu ngeri y’emu n’akozesanga abantu ab’ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni. Oluvannyuma Dawudi n’eggye lye lyonna, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
