1 Ngalesosikhathi kwenzakala ukuthi umxabanisi owayethiwa nguShebha indodana kaBhikhiri umBhenjamini abekhona. Wakhalisa icilongo waklabalala esithi, “Kasilasabelo kuDavida, kasilangxenye endodaneni kaJese! Umuntu wonke ethenteni lakhe, Oh Israyeli!”
Seba nye yakame aɖe eye wòganye Bikri, Benyamintɔ la ƒe vi. Eku kpẽ eye wòdo ɣli be, “Migbugbɔ le David yome! Migadze eyome o, Israel ŋutsuwo, mina míadzo: menye míaƒe fiae o!”
2 Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bahlubuka kuDavida balandela uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri. Kodwa abantu bakoJuda babambelela enkosini yabo umango wonke kusukela eJodani kusiya eJerusalema.
Ke Israel ŋutsuwo katã gblẽ David ɖi eye wodze Seba, Bikri vi yome! Ke Yuda ŋutsuwo nɔ woƒe fia la ŋu eye wokplɔe tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la ŋu yi Yerusalem.
3 UDavida esebuyele esigodlweni sakhe eJerusalema, wathatha abafazi bakhe beceleni abalitshumi ayebatshiye begcine isigodlo wababeka endlini elindwayo. Wabanika ababekuswela, kodwa kembathanga labo. Babehlala bevalelwe kuze kube lusuku lokufa kwabo, baphila njengabafelokazi.
Esi wòɖo eƒe fiasã me le Yerusalem la, ede se be woaɖe yeƒe ahiãvi ewo siwo yegblẽ ɖi be woakpɔ fiasã la dzi la ɖe aga, woakpɔ wo dzi le go ɖe sia ɖe me gake yemagadɔ wo gbɔ abe yeƒe ahiãviwo ene o. Ale wotrɔ zu abe ahosiwo ene va se ɖe woƒe kugbe.
4 Inkosi yasisithi ku-Amasa, “Biza abantu bakoJuda beze kimi phakathi kwensuku ezintathu, lawe ube lapha wena ngokwakho.”
Fia la gblɔ na Amasa be wòaƒo Yuda ƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu le ŋkeke etɔ̃ me eye wòana yeanya.
5 Kodwa u-Amasa eseyebiza uJuda, wathatha isikhathi eside kulaleso inkosi eyayimisele sona.
Ale Amasa yi ɖana nyanya aʋawɔlawo gake nu sia wɔwɔ xɔ wu ŋkeke etɔ̃ si wonae.
6 UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhishayi, “Khathesi uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri uzasenzela umonakalo odlula owenziwa ngu-Abhisalomu. Thatha abantu benkosi yakho umlandele, hlezi athole amadolobho avikelweyo aphunyuke kithi.”
David gblɔ na Abisai be, “Azɔ Seba, Bikri vi awɔ nuvevi mí wu nu si Absalom wɔ. Netsɔ! Wò kple nye dɔlawo miti eyome hafi wòaɖo du aɖe si woɖo gli ƒo xlãe la me eye míaƒe asi magate ŋu asu edzi o.”
7 Ngakho abantu bakaJowabi lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi kanye lamaqhawe wonke alamandla baphuma belawulwa ngu-Abhishayi. Bahamba besuka eJerusalema belandela uShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
Ale Abisai kple Yoab kple ame ɖeka tso Yoab ƒe aʋawɔlawo dome kple fia la ŋutɔ ŋudzɔla dze Seba, Bikri vi la yome.
8 Kwathi besesedwaleni elikhulu eGibhiyoni, u-Amasa wayabahlangabeza. UJowabi wayegqoke ibhatshi lakhe lempi, phezu kwalo, ekhalweni lwakhe, kubophe ibhanti lilomhedla esikhwameni sawo. Esahamba esiya phambili, umhedla wawela ngaphandle kwesikhwama sawo.
Esi wova ɖo agakpe gã si le Gibeon gbɔ la, wodo go Amasa. Yoab do aʋawu eye adekpui si nɔ aku me la, nɔ eƒe alidziblaka ŋu. Esi wòɖe zɔ la, eɖe adekpui la le eƒe aku me.
9 UJowabi wasesithi ku-Amasa, “Unjani, mfowethu?” UJowabi wasebamba u-Amasa ngendevu ngesandla sakhe sokudla wasemanga.
Yoab te ɖe Amasa ŋu hebiae be, “Èfɔa?” Yoab ku asi Amasa ƒe ge me kple ɖusi abe ɖe wòdi be yeagbugbɔ nu nɛ ene.
10 U-Amasa kawunanzelelanga umhedla owawuphethwe nguJowabi, uJowabi wasemgwaza esiswini sakhe, amathumbu akhe ahutshukela phandle emhlabathini. Lanxa engasagwazwanga futhi, u-Amasa wafa. Emva kwalokho uJowabi lomfowabo u-Abhishayi baxotshana loShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
Amasa mekpɔ yi ɖaɖɛ si Yoab lé kple miasi la o. Ale Yoab nyrɔ yi la ɖe dɔme nɛ flo, eƒe dɔmenuwo kaka ɖe anyigba eye wòku ɖe afi ma enumake. Yoab kple nɔvia Abisai gblẽe ɖe afi ma eye woti Seba, Bikri vi la yome.
11 Omunye wabantu bakaJowabi wema phansi kuka-Amasa wathi, “Lowo othanda uJowabi, lalowo ongokaDavida, kalandele uJowabi!”
Yoab ƒe aʋakplɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka do ɣli gblɔ na Amasa ƒe aʋawɔlawo be, “Ne miele David dzi la, ekema miva dze Yoab yome.”
12 U-Amasa walala ezibhixeka egazini lakhe phakathi komgwaqo, umuntu lowo wabona ukuthi amabutho wonke afika ame khonapho. Kwathi esenanzelele ukuthi umuntu wonke owafika ku-Amasa wema, wamhudula emsusa emgwaqweni wamusa egangeni, waphosela isembatho phezu kwakhe.
Ke Amasa ƒe kukua mlɔ eƒe ʋu me le mɔa titina. Esi Yoab ƒe aʋakplɔlawo kpɔ be ameawo nɔ ƒu ƒom na ame kuku la kpɔkpɔ la, wohe ame kuku la tso mɔa dzi do ɖe gbe me eye wotsɔ awu aɖe tsyɔ edzi.
13 Emva kokuba u-Amasa esesusiwe emgwaqweni, abantu bonke bedlula loJowabi ukuyaxotshana loShebha indodana kaBhikhiri.
Esi wohe ame kuku la le mɔa dzi la, ame sia ame dze Yoab yome be yewoalé Seba, Bikri vi la.
14 UShebha wadabula phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli kusiya e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha laphakathi kwesabelo sonke samaBikiri, aqoqanayo amlandela.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Seba zɔ to Israelnyigba dzi be yeaƒo aʋakɔ aɖe nu ƒu tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe hlɔ̃, Bikri hlɔ̃ la me le Abel Bet Maka dua me.
15 Wonke amabutho ayeloJowabi afika amvimbezela uShebha e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha. Bakha idundulu lokuvimbezela elalifika edolobheni njalo laleyame izinqaba zangaphandle. Besagqula umduli ukuba bawudilize,
Esi Yoab ƒe aʋawɔlawo va ɖo la, woɖe to ɖe Seba le Abel Bet Maka, ƒu kpo ɖe dua ŋu tso anyigba yi gli la tame eye wode asi gli la gbagbã me.
16 owesifazane ohlakaniphileyo wamemeza esedolobheni wathi, “Lalelani! Lalelani! Tshelani uJowabi eze lapha ukuze ngikhulume laye.”
Ke nyɔnu nyanu aɖe tso dua me yɔ Yoab gblɔ nɛ be, “Va afii, na míaɖo dze.”
17 Wahamba esiya kuye, wasembuza esithi, “UnguJowabi na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.” Wasesithi, “Lalela okuzatshiwo yincekukazi yakho.” Wathi, “Ngilalele.”
Esi wòte ɖe eŋu la, nyɔnu la biae be, “Wòe nye Yoab la?” Yoab ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyee.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Ɖo to wò dɔlanyɔnu ƒe nya.” Ke Yoab be, “Mele to ɖom wò nya.”
18 Owesifazane waqhubeka wathi, “Kudala babejwayele ukuthi, ‘Funani impendulo e-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha,’ lokho kwakuyiqeda indaba.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Wonɔ nya aɖe gblɔm tsã be, ‘Ne èdi be yeawu nyahehe aɖe nu la, ekema bia aɖaŋu le Abel,’ elabena míeɖoa aɖaŋu nyui na ame ɣe sia ɣi.
19 Thina singabathuleyo labathembekileyo ko-Israyeli. Wena uzama ukudiliza idolobho elingunina ko-Israyeli. Kungani ufuna ukuginya ilifa likaThixo na?”
Èle du tsitsi aɖe si me nɔlawo lɔ̃a ŋutifafa eye wowɔa nuteƒe na Israel la gbãm. Ɖe nàgblẽ nu si nye Yehowa tɔa?”
20 UJowabi waphendula wathi, “Akusikho lokho! Akusikho lokho ukuginya loba ukudiliza!
Yoab ɖo eŋu be, “Mele eme nenema kura o,
21 Akunjalo. Umuntu othiwa nguShebha indodana kaBhikhiri, owaselizweni lezintaba lako-Efrayimi, uphakamisele inkosi isandla sakhe emelana layo, emelana loDavida. Mletheni umuntu lowo, ngisuke edolobheni.” Owesifazane wathi kuJowabi “Ikhanda lakhe lizaphoswa kuwe lisuka emdulini.”
nu si dim mele koe nye ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Seba, Bikri vi; etso Efraim ƒe tonyigba la dzi. Etso ɖe Fia David ŋu eya ta ne miatsɔe ade asi na mí la, ekema míaɖe asi le dua ŋu le ŋutifafa me.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Enyo, míada eƒe ta do ɖe mi to gli la ta.”
22 Emva kwalokho owesifazane lowo waya ebantwini bonke leseluleko sakhe esikhaliphileyo, baquma ikhanda likaShebha indodana kaBhikhiri baliphosela kuJowabi. Ngakho wakhalisa icilongo, abantu bakhe bachitheka besuka edolobheni, lowo lalowo ebuyela emzini wakhe. UJowabi wabuyela enkosini eJerusalema.
Ale nyɔnu la yi ameawo gbɔ kple eƒe aɖaŋu nyui la. Wotso ta le Seba, Bikri vi la nu eye woda eƒe ta la to gli la ta ɖo ɖe Yoab. Enumake Yoab ku kpẽ; ena ameawo dzudzɔ dua gbagbã eye wotrɔ yi fia la gbɔ le Yerusalem.
23 UJowabi wayephethe lonke ibutho lako-Israyeli; uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada ephethe amaKherethi lamaPhelethi;
Yoab nye aʋafia gãtɔ Israelʋakɔ la. Benaya nɔ fia la ŋu dzɔlawo, Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo nu.
24 u-Adoniramu wayephethe izibhalwa; uJehoshafathi indodana ka-Ahiludi wayengumbhali;
Adoram kpɔa dɔwɔlawo dzi. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi, nye nyadzɔdzɔwo ŋlɔla,
