2 USamuyeli 6
1 UDavida wabuya wabuthanisa abantu bako-Israyeli abakhethiweyo, sebebonke babezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Pea naʻe toe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae kau ongoongoa ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e toko tolu mano.
2 Yena labantu bakhe bonke baya eBhala yakoJuda ukuthi bayethatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu khonale elibizwa ngeBizo, ibizo likaThixo uSomandla, ohleziyo esihlalweni sobukhosi ephahlwe ngamakherubhi aphezu kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, pea ne ʻalu ia mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia mei Peali ʻi Siuta, ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku fakahingoa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi.
3 Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu balifaka phezu kwenqola entsha balisusa endlini ka-Abhinadabi eyayiseqaqeni. U-Uza lo-Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abhinadabi, babetshayela inqola entsha
Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he saliote foʻou, ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: pea naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻae saliote foʻou ʻe Usa mo ʻAhio ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻApinatapi.
4 eyayithwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, u-Ahiyo ehamba phambi kwayo.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kituʻa mei he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea: ʻonau ō mo e puha ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa ʻAhio ʻi he puha.
5 UDavida lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli benza umkhosi omkhulu wokuthokoza ngamandla abo wonke phambi kukaThixo ngokuhlabela izingoma lokutshaya amachacho, lemihubhe, lamagedla kanye lamasimbali.
Pea naʻe tā ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa faiva kehekehe naʻe [ngaohi ]mei he ʻakau ko e paini, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi haʻape mo e ʻūtete, mo e lali iiki, mo e meʻa ifi, mo e simipale.
6 Bathi befika esizeni sikaNakhoni, u-Uza welulela isandla sakhe ebhokisini lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu walibamba ngoba inkabi zazikhubeka.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he potu hahaʻanga uite ʻo Nakoni, naʻe ala atu ʻe Usa ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne puke ki ai, koeʻuhi naʻe fakangalulu ia ʻe he fanga pulu.
7 Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ngo-Uza ngenxa yesenzo sakhe sokungahloniphi, ngakho uNkulunkulu wamtshaya njalo wahle wafela khonapho phansi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kia Usa; pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai hala; pea naʻa ne mate ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ofi ki he puha ʻoe ʻOtua.
8 Ngakho uDavida wathukuthela ngoba ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha ku-Uza, njalo kuze kube lalamuhla indawo leyo ibizwa ngokuthi yiPherezi Uza.
Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Tevita koeʻuhi ko e teʻia ʻa Usa ʻe Sihova: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Pelesi-Usa, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
9 UDavida wamesaba uThixo ngalolosuku, wathi, “Pho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lingeza njani kimi?”
Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, mo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻomi fakafēfē ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova kiate au?”
10 Wayengasafuni ukuthatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, ukuba libe kuye eDolobheni likaDavida. Esikhundleni salokho, waliphambulela endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi umGithi.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Tevita ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita: ka naʻe ʻave ʻo afe ʻaki ia ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati.
11 Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lahlala endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi umGithi okwezinyanga ezintathu, uThixo wambusisa kanye lendlu yakhe yonke.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e tangata Kati ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo hono kaungā fale kotoa pē.
12 Inkosi uDavida watshelwa kwathiwa, “UThixo useyibusisile indlu ka-Obhedi-Edomi lakho konke alakho ngenxa yebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.” Ngakho uDavida wahamba wayathatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu endlini ka-Obhedi-Edomi walisa eDolobheni likaDavida ngokuthokoza.
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, Kuo fakamonūʻia ʻae fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, koeʻuhi ko e puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, mo e fiefia.
13 Kwakusithi labo ababethwele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo bangahamba izinyathelo eziyisithupha, anikele umhlatshelo wenkunzi lethole elinonisiweyo.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he Lakaatu ʻakinautolu naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono, naʻa ne feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino.
14 UDavida wayegqoke isigqoko samahlombe selineni, wagida phambi kukaThixo ngamandla akhe wonke,
Pea naʻe meʻe ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻa ʻene mālohi kātoa; pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Tevita ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.
15 lapho yena kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli beletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo ngokumemeza langokukhala kwamacilongo.
Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ʻe Tevita mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he kalanga, mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
16 Kwathi lapho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo selingena eDolobheni likaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wayebukele elunguze ngefasitela. Wathi ebona inkosi uDavida eseqa egida phambi kukaThixo, wameyisa enhliziyweni yakhe.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ʻae puha ʻo Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, naʻe sio ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula mei he kātupa, pea ne mamata kia Tevita naʻe hopo mo meʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa ne manuki ia ʻi hono loto.
17 Baliletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo balibeka endaweni yalo phakathi kwethente uDavida ayelimisele lona, njalo uDavida wenza umhlatshelo weminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano phambi kukaThixo.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki loto ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ʻo tuku ia ki hono potu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
18 Eseqedile umhlatshelo weminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano wabusisa abantu ngebizo likaThixo uSomandla.
Pea ʻi heʻene hili leva ʻae ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi.
19 Umuntu ngamunye phakathi kwexuku lonke lako-Israyeli, abesilisa labesifazane, wamnika isinkwa, lekhekhe lezithelo kanye lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo. Abantu bonke baya emizini yabo.
Pea naʻa ne tufaki atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he kau fefine pea mo e kakai tangata, ko e taki taha ha foʻi mā, mo ha konga lahi ʻoe kanomate, mo ha hina uaine. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona.
20 Kwathi uDavida esebuyele ekhaya ukuba abusise abendlu yakhe, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli waphuma wamhlangabeza, wasesithi, “Yeka ukuzibonakalisa inkosi yako-Israyeli ekwenzileyo lamhla ihlubula phambi kwezigqilikazi zezinceku zayo njengokungenziwa lilema!”
Hili ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Tevita ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono kaungā nofoʻanga. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula, ke ne fetaulaki mo Tevita, mo ne pehē ʻe ia, “Hono ʻikai ngalingali ʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatelefuaʻi ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fakatelefua ʻoku fai ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku fakalaukau mo e taʻeangamā!”
21 UDavida wathi kuMikhali, “Kade kuphambi kukaThixo, owangikhetha phambi kukayihlo laphambi kwendlu yakhe yonke, wangimisa ukuba ngibe ngumbusi ko-Israyeli bantu bakaThixo, isibili ngizathokoza phambi kukaThixo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Mikale, “[Naʻe fai ia ʻi ]he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fili au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo tamai mo e ʻao ʻo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ne fakanofo au ko e pule ki he kakai ʻo Sihova, ki ʻIsileli: ko ia te u fakafiefia ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
22 Ngizakweyiseka kakhulu kulalokhu, njalo ngehliselwe phansi emehlweni ami. Kodwa izigqilikazi lezi okhulume ngazo zizangihlonipha.”
Pea te u fai ke u mata kovi lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni, pea te u matamata kovi ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku: pea ko e kau kaunanga kuo ke lea ki ai, ʻe fakahikihiki au ʻekinautolu.”
23 UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli kabanga lomntwana waze wafa.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai fānau ai ha tamasiʻi ʻe Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia.
