2 USamuyeli 8
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi uDavida wawehlula amaFilistiya wawanqoba, wathumba iMethegi Ama eyayiphethwe ngamaFilistiya.
Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita ʻa Metekiama mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
2 UDavida njalo wehlula amaMowabi. Wawalalisa phansi emhlabathini wawalinganisa ngobude bentambo. Zonke izilinganiso ezimbili zawo zabulawa, kwathi isilinganiso sesithathu sayekelwa siphila. Ngakho amaMowabi abuswa nguDavida athela imithelo kuye.
Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Moape, mo ne fuofua kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo, mo ne lī hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele; ʻio, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ke fai ai ʻae tāmate, pea ko e fuaʻanga kātoa ʻe taha ke fakamoʻui. Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape, ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, mo e tukuhau.
3 UDavida wabuya wahlasela wanqoba uHadadezeri indodana kaRehobhi, inkosi yaseZobha, lapho aya khona ukuyavuselela umbuso wakhe ngaseMfuleni iYufrathe.
Naʻe taaʻi foki ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ke toe maʻu mai hono ngataʻanga [fonua ]ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
4 UDavida wathumba izinqola zakhe zokulwa eziyinkulungwane, labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, lezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili zamabutho ahamba ngenyawo. Waquma imisipha yamabhiza wonke adonsa izinqola zokulwa ngaphandle kwalikhulu.
Pea naʻe maʻu meiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻa e [saliote ]ʻe taha afe, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fitungeau, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe [fanga hoosi ʻoe ]saliote kotoa pē, ka naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau.
5 Kwathi ama-Aramu aseDamaseko efika ukuzoncedisa uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, uDavida wabulala azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili zawo.
Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi he kakai Silia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.
6 Wabeka inkamba zamabutho okulinda elizweni lama-Aramu eDamaseko, kwathi ama-Aramu aba ngaphansi kombuso wakhe aletha imithelo. UThixo wamnika ukunqoba uDavida loba kungaphi lapho aya khona.
Pea naʻe toki tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau ke leʻo ʻi Silia ʻo Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa [kiate ia]. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
7 UDavida wathatha amahawu egolide eziphathamandla zikaHadadezeri wawasa eJerusalema.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi pā fakakoula, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.
8 Kusukela eThebha kanye laseBherothayi, imizi eyayingekaHadadezeri, inkosi uDavida yathatha khona ithusi elinengi kakhulu.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae palasa naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi mei Peta pea mei Petotai ko e ongo kolo ʻo Hetatesa.
9 Lapho uTowu inkosi yaseHamathi isizwe ukuthi uDavida wayelehlule lonke ibutho likaHadadezeri,
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Toi ko e tuʻi ʻo Hemati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa,
10 wathumela indodana yakhe uJoramu enkosini uDavida ukuyambingelela lokuyamenzela amhlophe ngokunqoba kwakhe uHadadezeri empini, owayesilwa impi loTowu. UJoramu wamlethela izitsha zesiliva lezegolide kanye lezethusi.
Naʻe toki ʻave ai ʻe Toi ʻa Solami ko hono foha kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, ke feʻiloaki mo ia, pea ke fakamālō kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia: he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Toi. Pea naʻe ʻave mo [Solami ]ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa:
11 Inkosi uDavida yazahlukanisela uThixo lezo zinto njengalokhu ayekwenze ngesiliva legolide okwavela kuzozonke izizwe ayezehlule:
ʻaia foki naʻe fakatapui ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, fakataha mo e siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ne ikuna;
12 I-Edomi leMowabi, ama-Amoni lamaFilistiya kanye lama-Amaleki. Wanikela lempango eyathathwa kuHadadezeri indodana kaRehobhi, inkosi yaseZobha.
Mei Silia, pea mei Moape, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo e kakai Filisitia, pea mo ʻAmaleki, pea mei he koloa ʻa Hetatesa, ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sapa.
13 UDavida waba lodumo emva kokubuya kwakhe evela kulwa lama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili eSigodini seTswayi.
Pea naʻe ongoongoa ʻae hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻi heʻene liliu mai mei heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe.
14 Wabeka inkamba zamabutho okulinda kulolonke elase-Edomi, njalo wonke ama-Edomi abuswa nguDavida. UThixo wamnika ukunqoba uDavida loba kungaphi lapho aya khona.
Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻo ki ʻItomi; ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻohi pea naʻe toka mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi kia Tevita. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
15 UDavida wabusa kulolonke elako-Israyeli, esenza okuqondileyo lokulungele abantu bakhe bonke.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kotoa; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fakamaau mo fai totonu ki heʻene kakai kotoa pē.
16 UJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephethe amabutho; uJehoshafathi indodana ka-Ahiludi wayengumabhalane;
Pea naʻe pule ʻae kautau ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia; pea ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae meʻa fakapuleʻanga. Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute;
17 uZadokhi indodana ka-Ahithubi lo-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Abhiyathari babengabaphristi; uSeraya wayengumabhalane;
Pea naʻe taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea ko e tangata tohi ʻa Selaia;
18 uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephethe amaKherethi lamaPhelethi; amadodana kaDavida ayengabaphristi.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ki he kakai Keliti pea mo e kakai Peleti fakatouʻosi; pea naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he pule ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita.
