2 USamuyeli 15
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi u-Abhisalomu wazidingela inqola yempi lamabhiza kanye labantu abangamatshumi amahlanu ukuba ngabagijima phambi kwakhe.
Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teuteu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae ngaahi saliote maʻana mo e fanga hoosi, pea mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia.
2 Wayevuka ekuseni kakhulu ame eceleni komgwaqo oya esangweni ledolobho. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofikayo ukuyamangala icala enkosini ukuba liqunywe, u-Abhisalomu wayembiza athi, “Wena uvela kuliphi idolobho?” Wayephendula athi, “Inceku yakho ivela kwesinye sezizwana zako-Israyeli.”
Pea naʻe faʻa tuʻu hake hengihengi ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻoe kolo: pea ka ai ha tokotaha kuo ai haʻane meʻa ke fakamaauʻi, pea haʻu ia ki he tuʻi ke fai hono fakamaauʻi, pehē, ne ui mai ia ʻe ʻApisalomi kiate ia, mo ne pehē, “Ko e kolo fē ia ʻoku ke haʻu mei ai?” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko e tokotaha mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.”
3 Lapho-ke u-Abhisalomu wayesithi kuye, “Khangela, okufunayo kuqondile njalo kufanele, kodwa akulammeli wenkosi ukuba akuzwe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo lelei mo totonu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mei he tuʻi ke fanongo kiate koe.”
4 U-Abhisalomu wayeqhubeka athi, “Sekuze kungathi ngabe ngabekwa ukuba ngumahluleli elizweni! Loba ngubani olensolo kumbe icala wayezakuza kimi ngibone ukuthi wahlulelwa kuhle.”
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe ʻApisalomi, “Taumaiā kuo fakanofo au ke fakamaau ʻi he fonua, koeʻuhi ke haʻu kiate au ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ai haʻane meʻa ke ʻekeʻi pe fakamaauʻi, pea te u fai angatonu ʻeau kiate ia!”
5 Njalo kwakusithi umuntu angafika kuye akhothamele phansi phambi kwakhe, u-Abhisalomu wayeselula isandla sakhe ambambe amange.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ha tokotaha kiate ia ke fai ʻene fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, naʻa ne faʻa mafao atu hono nima, ke faʻofua ki ai mo ʻuma kiate ia.
6 U-Abhisalomu waziphatha ngale indlela kubo bonke abako-Israyeli abaya enkosini ukuyacela ukwahlulelwa kuhle, ngalokho wakhanga inhliziyo zabantu abanengi ko-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi ki he kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe haʻu ki he tuʻi ke fakamaauʻi: pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kaihaʻasi ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli.
7 Ekupheleni kweminyaka emine, u-Abhisalomu wathi enkosini, “Ngisake ngiye eHebhroni ukuyagcwalisa isifungo engasenzayo kuThixo.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene hili mai ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe lea ʻa ʻApisalomi ki he tuʻi, [ʻo pehē], “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku au ke u ʻalu ʻo fai ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fuakava kia Sihova, ʻi Hepeloni.
8 Inceku yakho isahlala eGeshuri e-Aramu, yenza isifungo lesi: ‘Nxa uThixo engangibuyisela eJerusalema ngizamkhonza uThixo eHebhroni.’”
He naʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha fuakava lolotonga ʻa ʻeku nofo ʻi Kesuli ʻi Silia, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe toe ʻomi moʻoni au ki Selūsalema, te u toki tauhi ai kia Sihova.’”
9 Inkosi yathi kuye, “Hamba ngokuthula.” Ngakho waya eHebhroni.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ai, mo ne ʻalu ki Hepeloni.
10 Emva kwalokho u-Abhisalomu wathuma izithunywa ezifihlakeleyo kuzozonke izizwana zako-Israyeli ukuba zithi, “Lingezwa nje ukukhala kwecilongo, tshonini lithi, ‘U-Abhisalomu uyinkosi eHebhroni!’”
Ka naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae kau mataki ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka mou ka fanongo leva ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻalea, te mou toki pehē, ‘Kuo pule ʻa ʻApisalomi ʻi Hepeloni.’”
11 Abantu abangamakhulu amabili baseJerusalema babehambe lo-Abhisalomu. Babenxuswe njengezethekeli njalo behambe bekhululekile, bengazi lutho ngendaba leyo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu fakataha mo ʻApisalomi mei Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uangeau naʻe fili; pea naʻa nau ʻalu fakafaai noa ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha meʻa.
12 U-Abhisalomu esanikela imihlatshelo, wabiza u-Ahithofeli umGiloni, umeluleki kaDavida, ukuba eze evela eGilo, umuzi wakibo. Ngalokho icebo lomvukela laqina, labalandeli baka-Abhisalomu baqhubeka besanda.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻApisalomi kia ʻAhitofeli ko e tangata Kilo, ko e taha ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo Tevita, ke haʻu mei hono kolo ko Kilo, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau. Pea naʻe tuʻu kaukaua ʻae fakaaoao; he naʻe tupu ke tokolahi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai naʻe kau mo ʻApisalomi.
13 Kwafika isithunywa kuDavida sathi, “Inhliziyo zabantu bako-Israyeli ziku-Abhisalomu.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae talafekau kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo muimui ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻApisalomi.”
14 UDavida wasesithi kuzozonke izikhulu zakhe ezazilaye eJerusalema, “Wozani! Kumele sibaleke, hlezi kungabi lamunye wethu ozaphepha ku-Abhisalomu. Kumele sisuke masinyane hlezi asixhume alethe incithakalo kithi njalo ahlasele idolobho ngenkemba.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Selūsalema, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke tau hola; he ka ʻikai pea ʻe ʻikai te tau hao meia ʻApisalomi: fakatoʻotoʻo ke tau ʻalu, telia naʻa ne hoko fakafokifā mai, pea ne ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kitautolu, pea ne teʻia ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.”
15 Izikhulu zenkosi zaphendula zathi, “Izinceku zakho zilungele ukwenza loba yini umhlekazi wethu inkosi akukhethayo.”
Pea naʻe pehē ki he tuʻi ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kimautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te ke fekau mai.”
16 Inkosi yaphuma labendlu yayo bonke beyilandela; kodwa yatshiya abafazi beceleni abalitshumi ukuba bagcine isigodlo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe muimui kiate ia ʻa ʻene kaunga nofoʻanga kotoa pē. Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻae kau fefine ʻe toko hongofulu, ko e sinifu, ke nau tauhi ʻae fale.
17 Ngakho inkosi yasuka, labantu bonke beyilandela, basebesima endaweni elibanga elithize.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ki ha potu ʻaia naʻe mamaʻo atu, ʻo nofo ʻi ai.
18 Bonke abantu bayo bayedlula, ndawonye lawo wonke amaKherethi lamaPhelethi, kanye lawo wonke amaGithi angamakhulu ayisithupha ayehambe layo kusukela eGathi ahamba phambi kwenkosi.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he tuʻi ʻae kakai Keliti, mo e kakai Peleti, pea mo e kakai Kati, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻaia naʻe muimui kiate ia mei Kati.
19 Inkosi yasisithi ku-Ithayi umGithi, “Kungani uhamba lathi na? Buyela emuva uyehlala lenkosi u-Abhisalomu. Wena ungumuntu wezizweni, owaxotshwayo elizweni lakini.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Itei ko e tangata Kati, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke haʻu ai koe mo kimautolu? Toe foki ki hoʻo potu, pea nofo mo e tuʻi: he ko e muli koe, pea ko e ʻāunofo pe foki.
20 Ufike izolo nje. Kambe sekungathi lamhla lokhu ngikwenze uzulazule lathi, mina ngingakwazi lalapho engingaya khona? Buyela emuva uthathe abantu bakini. Sengathi uThixo angakwenzela umusa lokuhle.”
Hangē pe naʻa ke haʻu ʻaneafi, pea ʻe lelei koā ʻa ʻeku ʻave koe he ʻaho ni ke hē fano pe mo kimautolu? Koeʻuhi te u ʻalu au ko ʻeku fai faʻiteliha pe, ka ke tafoki koe, pea toe ʻave ho kāinga, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.”
21 Kodwa u-Ithayi wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, njalo njengoba umhlekazi wami inkosi, ephila, loba kungaphi lapho umhlekazi wami inkosi ezakuba ikhona, loba kusitsho ukuphila kumbe ukufa, inceku yakho izakuba khonapho.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Itei ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻi he potu moʻoni ko ia ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻi he mate pe ʻi he moʻui, ʻi he potu pe ko ia ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
22 UDavida wasesithi ku-Ithayi, “Qhubeka, hamba.” Ngakho u-Ithayi umGithi wahamba labantu bakhe bonke kanye lezimuli ezazilaye.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Itei, “ʻAlu pea ke mole atu.” Pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻa Itei ko e tangata Kati, pea mo ʻene kakai kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene fānau iiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu mo ia.
23 Ilizwe lonke lakhala kakhulu lapho abantu bonke besedlula. Inkosi yachapha isiHotsha saseKhidironi, abantu bonke bahamba beqonde enkangala.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, pea naʻe aʻa atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē: naʻe aʻa atu foki ʻae tuʻi ʻi he vaitafe ko Kitiloni, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hanga ki he hala ki he toafa.
24 UZadokhi laye wayekhona, labaLevi bonke ababelaye babethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, njalo u-Abhiyathari wanikela imihlatshelo abantu bonke baze baphela ukusuka edolobheni.
Pea vakai, ko Satoki foki, pea mo e kau Livai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻApiata kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻalu atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē mei he kolo.
25 Inkosi yasisithi kuZadokhi, “Buyisela ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu edolobheni. Ngingathola umusa emehlweni kaThixo, uzangibuyisela emuva enze ukuba ngilibone futhi kanye lendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Satoki, “Toe ʻave ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua ki he kolo: kapau ʻe ʻofeina au ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, te ne toe ʻomi au, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate au pea mo hono fale nofoʻanga:
26 Kodwa angathi, ‘Kangithokozi ngawe,’ lapho-ke ngizilungisele; kenze kimi loba kuyini okukhanya kulungile kuye.”
Pea kapau te ne pehē mai, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha fiemālie ʻiate koe; vakai, ko au eni, tuku ke ne fai kiate au ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku lelei kiate ia.’”
27 Inkosi yabuya yathi kuZadokhi umphristi, “Uyazwisisa na? Buyela emuva edolobheni ngokuthula, lendodana yakho u-Ahimazi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari. Wena lo-Abhiyathari hambani lamadodana enu.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kia Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, “ʻIkai ko e tangata kikite koe? Foki atu ki he kolo ʻi he fiemālie, ʻa koe mo ho ongo foha ʻe toko ua, ʻa ʻAhimasi ko ho foha ʻoʻou, pea mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata.
28 Mina ngizakuma emazibukweni enkangala kuze kufike ilizwi elivela kini lingazisa.”
Vakai, te u nofo tatali pe au ʻi he potu tafangafanga ʻoe toafa, kaeʻoua ke ʻomi ha lea meiate kimoutolu ke fakamatala kiate au.”
29 Ngakho uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari balibuyisela eJerusalema ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lahlala khona.
Ko ia naʻe toe ʻave ai ʻae puha tapu ʻae ʻOtua ki Selūsalema ʻe Satoki pea mo ʻApiata, pea naʻa na tatali ʻo nofo ʻi ai.
30 Kodwa uDavida waqhubeka ekhwela iNtaba yama-Oliva, ehamba ekhala; ikhanda lakhe lalimboziwe njalo ebhadula ngezinyawo. Bonke abantu ababelaye labo bamboza amakhanda abo njalo bakhwela bekhala.
Pea naʻe fofonga hake ʻe Tevita ʻi he hakeʻanga ʻo ʻOlive, pea naʻa ne tangi pe mo ʻalu hake, pea naʻe pūlou ʻa hono ʻulu pea naʻa ne ʻalu kuo telefua pe ʻa hono vaʻe: pea ko e kakai fulipē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe pūlou taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻa hono ʻulu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake pe mo e fai ʻae tangi.
31 UDavida wayetshelwe ukuthi, “U-Ahithofeli uphakathi kwabahlamuki lo-Abhisalomu.” Ngakho uDavida wakhuleka wathi, “Oh, Thixo phendula ukululeka kuka-Ahithofeli kube yibuthutha.”
Pea naʻe tala ʻe he tokotaha kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo kau ʻa ʻAhitofeli ki he kau fakaaoao ʻoku ʻia ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke liliu ke vale ʻae fakakaukau ʻa ʻAhitofeli.”
32 Kwathi uDavida esefikile engqongeni, lapho abantu ababejayele ukukhonzela khona uNkulunkulu, uHushayi umʼArikhi wayekhonapho ukuba amhlangabeze, isembatho sakhe sidabukile njalo elothuli ekhanda.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko hake ʻa Tevita ki he tumutumu [ʻoe moʻunga], ʻaia naʻa ne lotu ai ki he ʻOtua, vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻa Husai ko e tangata ʻAliki, kuo mahaehae hono kofutuʻa, pea [pani ʻaki ]ʻae kelekele ʻa hono ʻulu:
33 UDavida wathi kuye, “Ungahamba lami, uzakuba ngumthwalo onzima kimi.
ʻAia naʻe pehē ki ai ʻe Tevita, “Kapau te ta ō mo au, te ke hoko ko e fakamāfasia kiate au:
34 Kodwa nxa ubuyela edolobheni uyekuthi ku-Abhisalomu, ‘Ngizakuba yinceku yakho, awu nkosi, ngangiyinceku kayihlo kudala, kodwa khathesi ngizakuba yinceku yakho,’ lapho-ke ungangisiza ngokufubisa izeluleko zika-Ahithofeli.
Ka ka ke ka toe ʻalu ki he kolo, pea ke pehē kia ʻApisalomi, ʻE Tuʻi, te u hoko au ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; naʻaku tauhi ki hoʻo tamai ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni, pea ko eni te u tauhi kiate koe: pea ko e meʻa ia te ke faʻa veuveuki ai ʻae fakakaukau ʻa ʻAhitofeli.
35 Abaphristi uZadokhi lo-Abhiyathari kabayikuba khonale lawe na? Batshele konke okuzwayo esigodlweni senkosi.
Pea ʻikai ʻe ʻi ai mo koe ʻa Satoki pea mo ʻApiata ko e [ongo ]taulaʻeiki? Pea ko ia ʻe pehē pe, ko ia kotoa pē te ke fanongo ki ai mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, te ke fakahā ia kia Satoki pea mo ʻApiata ko e [ongo ]taulaʻeiki.
36 Amadodana abo amabili, u-Ahimazi indodana kaZadokhi loJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari, akhonale kanye labo. Bathumele kimi ngakho konke okuzwayo.”
Pea vakai, ʻoku ʻiate kinaua hona ongo foha ʻe toko ua, ʻa ʻAhimasi ko e foha ʻo Satoki, pea mo Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea te ke ʻomi ʻiate kinaua ʻae tala ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te ke faʻa fanongo ki ai.”
37 Ngakho umngane kaDavida uHushayi wafika eJerusalema khonapho u-Abhisalomu laye engena edolobheni.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ki he kolo ʻa Husai ko e kāinga ʻo Tevita, pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa ʻApisalomi ki Selūsalema.
