2 USamuyeli 4

1 Kwathi u-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli esezwile ukuthi u-Abhineri wayefile eHebhroni, wahedezela, lo-Israyeli wonke wathithibala.

Iish-Booshet ilmi Saaʼol yommuu akka Abneer Kebroonitti ajjeefame dhagaʼetti humni isaa ni buʼe; Israaʼel hundis sodaan guutame.

2 Indodana kaSawuli yayilabantu ababili ababezinduna zamaqembu okuhlasela. Omunye wayethiwa nguBhana omunye enguRekhabi; babengamadodana kaRimoni umBherothi owesizwana sakoBhenjamini, iBherothi ithathwa njengengxenye yakoBhenjamini,

Yeroo sanatti Iish-Booshet ilmi Saaʼol dura buutota garee duultotaa lama qaba ture. Inni tokko Baʼanaa, kaan immoo Rekaab jedhama ture; isaanis ilmaan Rimoon namicha Biʼeeroot kan gosa Beniyaam sanaa ti; Biʼeeroot kun akka kutaa Beniyaamitti lakkaaʼama;

3 ngoba abantu baseBherothi babalekela eGithayimi njalo sebahlala khona njengezizwe kuze kube lamhla.

namoonni Biʼeeroot kunneen gara Gitayimitti baqatanii hamma harʼaatti alagummaan achi jiraatuutii.

4 (UJonathani indodana kaSawuli wayelendodana eyayiqhula inyawo zombili. Yayileminyaka emihlanu ubudala bayo ekufikeni kombiko ngoSawuli loJonathani uvela eJezerili. Umlizane wayo wayiphakamisa wabaleka, kodwa wathi ephanga ukusuka yawela phansi yagogeka. Ibizo layo lalinguMefibhoshethi.)

Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼol mucaa miilli isaa lachuu naafate tokko qaba ture. Yeroo oduun waaʼee Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan Yizriʼeel irraa dhufetti inni nama waggaa shanii ture. Guddiftuun isaas isa fudhattee baqatte; garuu utuu isheen baqachuuf ariifattuu mucichi ishee irraa kufee naafate. Maqaan isaas Mefiibooshet jedhama ture.

5 Ngalesosikhathi uRekhabi loBhana, amadodana kaRimoni umBherothi, basuka baya endlini ka-Ishi-Bhoshethi, bafika khona emini enkulu ilanga livutha yena ephumula okwemini.

Rekaabii fi Baʼanaan ilmaan Rimoon namicha gosa Biʼeeroot kaʼanii gara mana Iish-Boosheti qajeelan; yeroon isaan itti achi gaʼanis guyyaa saafaa yeroo inni itti aara galfatu ture.

6 Baya phakathi kakhulu kwendlu kungathi bayathatha amabele, basebemgwaza esiswini. Emva kwalokho uRekhabi loBhana bathi nyelele bahamba.

Isaanis akka nama qamadii barbaaduutti kutaa manaa isa gara keessaatti ol seenanii garaa isaa waraanan. Ergasiis Rekaabii fi obboleessi isaa Baʼanaan miliqanii baʼan.

7 Babengene endlini yena elele embhedeni ekamelweni lakhe lokulala. Emva kokuba sebemgwaze bambulala, baquma ikhanda lakhe. Balithatha, bahamba ubusuku bonke ngendlela yase-Arabha.

Isaanis utuu inni kutaa ciisichaa keessa siree isaa irra rafee jiruu ol seenan. Erga garaa isaa waraananii isa ajjeesanii booddees mataa isaa irraa kutan. Mataa sanas fuudhanii halkan guutuu daandii Arabbaa irra deemaa bulan.

8 Ikhanda lika-Ishi-Bhoshethi balisa kuDavida eHebhroni bathi enkosini, “Nanti ikhanda lika-Ishi-Bhoshethi indodana kaSawuli, isitha sakho, esazama ukukubulala. Ngalolusuku uThixo umphindiselele umhlekazi wami inkosi kuSawuli lenzalo yakhe.”

Isaanis Kebroonitti mataa Iish-Booshet gara Daawit mootichaa fidanii, “Kunoo mataa Iish-Booshet ilma diina kee Saaʼol kan ilma namicha si ajjeesuu barbaadu sanaa. Harʼa Waaqayyo Saaʼolii fi sanyii isaa illee gooftaa koo mootichaaf haaloo baaseera” jedhaniin.

9 UDavida waphendula uRekhabi lomfowabo uBhana, amadodana kaRimoni umBherothi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ukhona, yena ongihlenge kuzozonke inhlupheko,

Daawit immoo Rekaabii fi obboleessa isaa Baʼanaa, ilmaan Rimoonii namicha gosa Biʼeerootaa sanaan akkana jedhe; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa rakkina hunda jalaa na baase sanaa,

10 kwathi umuntu engitshela ukuthi, ‘USawuli usefile,’ ecabanga ukuthi wayeletha umbiko omuhle ngamxhakalaza ngambulala eZikhilagi. Lowo waba ngumvuzo engamupha wona ngenxa yalowombiko!

kunoo ani namicha waan oduu gaarii naa fide seʼee, ‘Saaʼol duʼeera’ jedhee natti hime sana qabee Siiqlaagitti ajjeeseera. Egaa wanni ani namicha oduu sana fide badhaase kana dha!

11 Pho kudlula ngokungakanani nxa abantu ababi bebulele umuntu omsulwa endlini engeyakhe njalo embhedeni ongowakhe, ngingalithonisi yini khathesi igazi lakhe ezandleni zenu ngilisuse emhlabeni na!”

Yoos yeroo namoonni hamooni nama balleessaa hin qabne tokko mana isaa keessatti, siree isaa irratti ajjeesanitti ani dhiiga isaa harka keessan irraa hin barbaaduu ree? Lafa irraas hin balleessuu ree?”

12 Ngakho uDavida walaya abantu bakhe, bababulala. Baquma izandla zabo lezinyawo, balengisa izidumbu phansi kwechibi eHebhroni. Kodwa bathatha ikhanda lika-Ishi-Bhoshethi bayalingcwaba ethuneni lika-Abhineri eHebhroni.

Kanaafuu Daawit namoota isaa ajaje; isaanis jara ajjeesan. Harkaa fi miilla isaanii irraa kukkutanii haroo Kebroon biratti reeffa isaanii fannisan. Mataa Iish-Booshet garuu fuudhanii Kebroonitti awwaala Abneer biratti awwaalan.
