2 USamuyeli 13
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi, u-Amnoni indodana kaDavida wathanda uThamari, owayemuhle, engudadewabo ka-Abhisalomu indodana kaDavida.
A MAHOPE iho o ia mea, he kaikuwahine maikai ko Abesaloma ke keikikane a Davida, o Tamara kona inoa: aloha mai la o Amenona ke keikikane a Davida ia ia.
2 U-Amnoni wabindeka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uThamari, ngoba wayeyintombi egcweleyo, njalo kwakukhanya kungeke kwenzeke ukuthi enze loba yini kuye.
Pela ka pono ole ana o Amenona, a mai iho la ia no kona kaikuwahine no Tamara; no ka mea, he puupaa ia: aole i hiki pono ia Amenona ke hana aku i kekahi mea ia ia.
3 U-Amnoni wayelomngane wakhe owayethiwa nguJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida. UJehonadabi wayeliqili lendoda.
He hoalauna ko Amenona, o Ionadaba kona inoa, ke keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana: a he kanaka maalea loa o Ionadaba.
4 Wabuza u-Amnoni wathi, “Kungani wena, ndodana yenkosi, ukhanya uhlobile nsuku zonke ekuseni? Awungeke ungitshele na?” U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Ngiyamthanda uThamari, udadewabo ka-Abhisalomu umfowethu.”
I aku la kela ia ia, O oe ke keiki a ke alii, heaha la kau mea e wiwi ai i kela la i keia la? Aole oe e hai mai ia'u, ea? I mai la o Amenona ia ia, Ua aloha au ia Tamara i ke kaikuwahine o kuu kaikaina o Abesaloma.
5 UJehonadabi wathi, “Hamba uyelala uzenze ogulayo. Lapho uyihlo ezekubona, wothi kuye, ‘Ngifuna udadewethu uThamari azenginika ulutho lokudla. Ukudla lokho kazekulungisela emehlweni ami, ukuze ngimkhangele ngikudle kuvela esandleni sakhe.’”
I aku la o Ionadaba ia ia, E moe iho oe ma kou wahi moe, a e hoomaimai iho oe: a hele mai kou makuakane e ike ia oe, e i aku oe ia ia, Ea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine e haawi mai ia i ai na'u, e hoomakaukau ia i ka ai imua o ko'u mau maka, i ike au, a ai iho hoi ma kona lima.
6 Ngakho u-Amnoni walala phansi wazenza ogulayo. Kwathi inkosi isifikile ukuzambona, u-Amnoni wathi kuyo, “Ngicela udadewethu uThamari azengenzela isinkwa khonapha ukuze ngidle ngisamukela esandleni sakhe.”
Moe iho la o Amenona, a hoomaimai ia ia iho: a hele mai ke alii e ike ia ia, i aku la o Amenona i ke alii, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine, a hana iho na'u i elua wahi popo palaoa imua o kuu mau maka, i ai iho au ma kona lima.
7 UDavida wathumela ilizwi kuThamari endlini yobukhosi esithi: “Hamba endlini yomnewenu u-Amnoni umlungisele ukudla.”
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Davida io Tamara la ma kona wahi, i aku la, E hele oe ano i ka hale o kou kaikunane o Amenona, a e hana oe i wahi ai nana.
8 Ngakho uThamari waya endlini kamnewabo u-Amnoni owayelele phansi. Wathatha inhlama wayivuba, wenza isinkwa khonapho.
Hele aku la o Tamara i ka hale o kona kaikunane o Amenona, a e moe ana no ia. Lawe ae la kela i ka palaoa, kawili ae la, a hana iho la i na popo imua o kona maka, a pulehu iho la i ua mau popo la.
9 Wasethatha ipane wamnika isinkwa, kodwa wala ukudla. U-Amnoni wasesithi, “Batshele baphume bonke abalapha.” Ngakho bonke baphuma bamtshiya.
Lawe ae la ia i ke pa, a ninini aku la ia mau mea imua ona, aole nae ia i ai. I aku la o Amenona, E hele iwaho na kanaka a pau mai o'u aku nei; I hele aku la na kanaka a pau iwaho mai ona aku la.
10 U-Amnoni wasesithi kuThamari, “Letha ukudla lapha endlini yami yokulala ukuze ungifunze ngesandla sakho.” UThamari wathatha isinkwa ayesilungisile wasisa kumnewabo u-Amnoni endlini yakhe yokulala.
I aku la o Amenona ia Tamara, E lawe mai oe i ka ai maloko o ke keena nei i ai iho au ma kou lima, Lawe ae la o Tamara i na popo palaoa ana i hana'i, a halihali mai la iloko o ke keena io Amenona la i kona kaikunane.
11 Kodwa esefike laso kuye ukuba adle, wamxhakala wathi, “Woza ulale lami, dadewethu.”
Aia lawe mai la ia io na la e ai ai, lalau aku la kela ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E, e moe kaua, e kuu kaikuwahine.
12 Yena wathi kuye, “Ungaqali, mnewethu! Ungangigebengi. Into enje akumelanga yenziwe ko-Israyeli! Ungenzi into le embi.
I mai la kela ia ia, Aole, e kuu kaikunane, mai pue wale mai oe ia'u; no ka mea, aole e pono ke hana pela iwaena o ka Iseraela: mai hana oe i keia mea ino.
13 Mina-ke? Ngingalisusela ngaphi ihlazo lami? Wena-ke? Angithi ungafana lesinye seziphukuphuku ezixhwalileyo ko-Israyeli. Ake ukhulume lenkosi, kayisoze ingalele ukwendela kuwe.”
A owau la, mahea la uanei au e huna ai i kuu hilahila? A o oe hoi, e like auanei oe me kekahi o ka poe haukae iloko o ka Iseraela. No ia mea ea, e olelo aku oe i ke alii; aole ia e paa ia'u mai ou aku la.
14 Kodwa u-Amnoni wala ukumlalela, kwathi njengoba wayelamandla kulaye, wamgebenga.
Aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i kona leo; aka, no ka oi o kona ikaika i ko ia la, pue wale aku la kela ia ia, a moe iho la me ia.
15 Emva kwalokho u-Amnoni wamzonda ngenzondo ebuhlungu kakhulu. Ngeqiniso wamzonda okudlula ukumthanda kwakhe. U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Vuka uphume!”
Alaila, mains aku la o Amenona ia ia me ka inaina nui loa: a ua oi aku ka inaina ana i inaina aku ai ia ia, i ke aloha ana i aloha mua aku ai ia ia. I aku la o Amenona ia ia, E ala'e, e hoi.
16 Yena wathi, “Hatshi! Ukungixotsha kungaba yibubi obudlula lokhu osukwenze kimi.” Kodwa wala ukumlalela.
I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe pono; o keia hala o kou kipaku ana ia'u ua oi aku ia i kela mea au i hana iho nei ia'u: aole nae ia i hoolohe aku ia ia.
17 Wabiza inceku eyayiqondane laye wathi, “Susa umfazi lo lapha, ukhiye umnyango ngemva kwakhe.”
Kahea aku la ia i kana kauwa, i ka mea i lawelawe nana, i aku la, E kipaku aku oe ia ia nei iwaho mai o'u aku nei, a e hoopaa i ka puka mahope ona.
18 Ngakho inceku yakhe yamkhuphela phandle yakhiya umnyango. Wayegqoke isigqoko esasiceciswe kakuhle, ngoba lolu yilo uhlobo lwesigqoko esasigqokwa ngamadodakazi enkosi ayezintombi ezigcweleyo.
He kapa onionio maluna ona: pela no i kahikoia'i na kaikamahine puupaa a ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la kana kauwa ia ia iwaho, a hoopaa iho la i ka puka mahope ona.
19 UThamari wazithela ngomlotha ekhanda wadabula isigqoko esicecisiweyo ayesigqokile. Wathwala imikhono ekhanda wasuka, wahamba ekhala kakhulu.
Lu iho la o Tamara i ka lehuahi maluna o kona poo, haehae ae la i kona kapa onionio maluna ona, kau ae la hoi ia i kona lima maluna o kona poo, a hele aku la e uwe ana.
20 Umnewabo u-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “U-Amnoni lowo, umnewenu, kade elawe na? Zithulele dadewethu; ungumnewenu. Ungayibeki enhliziyweni yakho into le.” UThamari wahlala endlini kamnewabo u-Abhisalomu, engowesifazane ohlulukelweyo.
I aku la o Abesaloma o kona kaikunane ia ia, Ua moe no anei o Amenona kou kaikunane me oe? E noho malie hoi oe, e kuu kaikuwahine, o kou kaikunane kela, mai manao nui oe ma ia mea. A noho mehameha iho la o Tamara ma ka hale o Abesaloma kona kaikunane.
21 Inkosi uDavida esekuzwile konke lokhu wathukuthela kakhulu.
A i ka lohe ana o Davida ke alii ia mau mea a pau, huhu loa iho la ia.
22 U-Abhisalomu kazange atsho lizwi ku-Amnoni, elihle loba elibi; wamzonda u-Amnoni ngoba wayehlazise udadewabo uThamari.
Aole i olelo aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona kona kaikuaana i ka pono, aole hoi i ka hewa: no ka mea, ua inaina aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona, i kona pue wale ana ia Tamara i kona kaikuwahine.
23 Emva kweminyaka emibili, lapho abagundi bezimvu zika-Abhisalomu babeseBhali Hazori phansi komngcele wako-Efrayimi, wanxusa wonke amadodana enkosi ukuba aye khonale.
A hala ae la na makahiki okoa elua, he aha ako hipa ko Abesaloma ma Baalahazora e kokoke ana me ko Eperaima: a kono aku la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii e hele ilaila.
24 U-Abhisalomu waya enkosini wathi, “Inceku yakho abagundi bayo bafikile. Kambe inkosi lezikhulu zayo ingahamba lami na?”
Hele mai la o Abesaloma i ke alii, i mai la, Aia he aha ako hipa o kau kauwa; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu ke alii a me kana poe kauwa me kau kauwa.
25 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Hatshi, ndodana yami. Akumelanga sonke sihambe; singaba ngumthwalo onzima kuwe.” Lanxa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, yala ukuhamba, kodwa yena yamvumela.
I aku la ke alii ia Abesaloma, Aole makou a pau e hele, e kuu keiki, o hookaumaha makou ia oe. Koi mai la kela ia ia; aole nae ia I manao e hele, aka, hoomaikai aku la oia ia ia.
26 U-Abhisalomu wasesithi, “Nxa kungenjalo, ake uvumele umfowethu u-Amnoni ahambe lathi.” Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kungani kumele ahambe lani?”
I mai la o Abesaloma, A i ole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ae mai i kuu kaikuaana ia Amenona e hele pu me makou. I aku la ke alii ia ia, Heaha la kana e hele pu aku ai me oe?
27 Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, ngakho yavuma ukuba u-Amnoni ahambe laye kanye lamanye amadodana enkosi.
Koi aku la o Abesaloma ia ia, a ae mai la ia e hele pu o Amenona, a o na keikikane a pau a ke alii me ia.
28 U-Abhisalomu walaya abantu bakhe wathi, “Lalelani! Nxa u-Amnoni esethabe kakhulu ngenxa yokunatha iwayini ngingathi kini, ‘Mbulaleni u-Amnoni!’ limbulale. Lingesabi. Kangiliphanga umlayo lo na? Qinani libe lesibindi.”
Kauoha aku la o Abesaloma i kana poe kauwa, i aku la, E nana oukou, a olioli ka naau o Amenona i ka waina; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, E pepehi ia Amenona, alaila e pepehi ia ia, mai makau; aole anei au i kauoha aku? I nui ke aho, a e koa hoi.
29 Ngakho abantu baka-Abhisalomu benza ku-Amnoni lokho u-Abhisalomu ayebalaye khona. Lapho-ke wonke amadodana enkosi asuka, agada imbongolo zawo abaleka.
A hana aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma ia Amenona, e like me ka Abesaloma i kauoha ai: alaila ku ae la na keikikane a pau a ke alii, ae aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona hoki, a holo aku la.
30 Esesendleleni umbiko wafika kuDavida usithi, “U-Abhisalomu usewabulele wonke amadodana enkosi, akukho leyodwa eseleyo.”
Aia ma ke alanui lakou, haiia mai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi iho la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii, aole koe kekahi o lakou.
31 Inkosi yasukuma, yadabula izigqoko zayo yalala phansi emhlabathini; izinceku zayo zonke zema khonapho iziqgoko zazo sezizidabulile.
Alaila, ku ae la ke alii, haehae ae la i na kapa ona, a moe iho la ma ka honua, a ku mai la na kauwa ana a pau me ka haehaeia o ko lakou kapa.
32 Kodwa uJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wathi, “Inkosi yami kayingacabangi ukuthi babulele wonke amakhosana, ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo. Le yinhloso ka-Abhisalomu ebivele ikhona kusukela mhla u-Amnoni egebenga udadewabo uThamari.
Olelo mai la o Ionadaba ko keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana, i mai la, Mai manao oe, e kuu haku, ua pepehi lakou i ka poe kanaka opiopio a pau, i na keikikane a ke alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make, no ka mea, ua ohumuia keia mea ma ka waha o Abesaloma, mai ka la mai i pue wale aku ai kela i kona kaikuwahine ia Tamara.
33 Umhlekazi wami inkosi kayinganqineki ngombiko othi wonke amadodana enkosi afile. Ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo.”
Nolaila hoi, mai hookaumaha kuu haku ke alii i kona naau ia mea, me ka manao ua make na keiki a pau a ko alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make.
34 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhisalomu wayesebalekile. Kwathi umuntu owayelinda wabona abantu abanengi emgwaqweni ngasentshonalanga, besehla eceleni lentaba. Umlindi lowo wahamba wayabikela inkosi wathi, “Ngibona abantu ngokuya eHoronayimi, eceleni kwentaba.”
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma. A o ke kanaka opiopio e kiai ana, alawa ae la na maka ona iluna, ike aku la, aia la, he nui na kanaka e hele mai ana ma ke ala ma ka aoao o ka puu mahope ona.
35 UJehonadabi wasesithi enkosini, “Khangela, amadodana enkosi asefikile; kwenzakale njengoba inceku yakho itshilo.”
I aku la o Ionadaba i ke alii, Aia la, ke hele mai nei na keikikane a ke alii, e like me ka olelo ana a kau kauwa.
36 Wathi eqeda ukukhuluma, amadodana enkosi angena ekhala kakhulu. Layo inkosi, kanye lezinceku zayo zonke bakhala kabuhlungu.
A pau ae la ka olelo ana, hiki mai la na keikikane a ke alii, hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la: uwe nui loa iho la ke alii a me kana poe kauwa a pau.
37 U-Abhisalomu wabaleka waya kuThalimayi indodana ka-Amihudi inkosi yaseGeshuri. Kodwa Inkosi uDavida walilela indodana yakhe insuku zonke.
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la io Talemai la i ke keiki a Amihuda ke alii no Gesura. Kanikau iho la o [Davida] i kana keiki i kela la i keia la.
38 Emva kokuba u-Abhisalomu esebaleke waya eGeshuri, wahlala khonale iminyaka emithathu.
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la i Gesura, noho iho la ilaila ekolu makahiki.
39 Umoya wenkosi wafisa ukuya ku-Abhisalomu, ngoba yayisiduduzekile ngokufa kuka-Amnoni.
Iini loa iho la o Davida ke alii e hele aku io Abesaloma la; no ka mea, ua hooluoluia oia no Amenona, i kona make ana.
