1 Imilando 11
1 UIsrayeli wonke wasebuthana kuDavida eHebroni esithi: Khangela, thina silithambo lakho lenyama yakho.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩcookanĩrĩra harĩ Daudi kũu Hebironi, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthiimo na thakame yaku.
2 Ngitsho mandulo, ngitsho uSawuli eyinkosi, nguwe owakhupha lowangenisa uIsrayeli; iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yasisithi kuwe: Wena uzakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli, njalo wena uzakuba ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
Ihinda rĩrĩa rĩhĩtũkĩte, o na Saũlũ arĩ o mũthamaki, wee nĩwe ũratongoragia Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ ciao. Nake Jehova Ngai waku agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwe ũkaarĩithia andũ akwa Isiraeli, na nĩũgatuĩka mwathi wao.’”
3 Kwasekufika bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli enkosini eHebroni. UDavida wasesenza isivumelwano labo eHebroni phambi kweNkosi. Basebemgcoba uDavida ukuba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, njengelizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaSamuweli.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri othe a Isiraeli magĩthiĩ Hebironi kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi, nake Daudi akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro nao mbere ya Jehova o kũu Hebironi, nao magĩitĩrĩria Daudi maguta mũtwe atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eranĩire na kanua ga Samũeli.
4 UDavida loIsrayeli wonke basebesiya eJerusalema, eyiJebusi, ngoba lapho kwakulamaJebusi, abahlali balelolizwe.
Daudi hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu, o kũu gwetagwo Jebusi. Nao Ajebusi arĩa maatũũraga kũu
5 Abahlali beJebusi basebesithi kuDavida: Kawuyikungena lapha. Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yeZiyoni, engumuzi kaDavida.
makĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩtoonya gũkũ.” No rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩagĩtunyanire gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya gĩa Zayuni, Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
6 UDavida wasesithi: Loba ngubani ozatshaya amaJebusi kuqala uzakuba yinhloko lenduna. Ngakho uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wenyuka kuqala, waba yinhloko.
Daudi oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũgũtongoria mbaara ya kũhũũra Ajebusi nĩwe ũgaatuĩka mũnene wa thigari ciothe.” Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩwe waambire kwambata, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩwe watuĩkire mũnene wa thigari.
7 UDavida wasehlala enqabeni; ngalokho-ke bayibiza ngokuthi ngumuzi kaDavida.
Daudi agĩgĩtũũra gĩikaro kĩu kĩairigĩirwo na rũthingo rwa hinya, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩgĩtwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi.
8 Wasewakha umuzi inhlangothi zonke, kusukela eMilo waze wawuhlanganisa. UJowabi wasevuselela okuseleyo komuzi.
Nake agĩaka itũũra inene rĩthiũrũrũkĩirie gĩikaro kĩu, kuuma benji-inĩ nginya rũthingo-inĩ rũrĩa rwakĩrigiicĩirie, nake Joabu agĩcookereria mĩena ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya itũũra rĩu inene.
9 UDavida wasesiya eqhubeka esiba mkhulu, ngoba iNkosi yamabandla yayilaye.
Daudi agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na ũhoti mũingĩ, tondũ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aarĩ hamwe nake.
10 Lalezi zinhloko zamaqhawe uDavida ayelazo, ezaziqinisa kanye laye embusweni wakhe, loIsrayeli wonke, ukumenza inkosi, njengelizwi leNkosi mayelana loIsrayeli.
Aya nĩo maarĩ anene a andũ arĩa njamba a Daudi, o ene hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe, nĩmatirĩrĩire ũthamaki wake na hinya nĩguo ũtheereme bũrũri wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire.
11 Laleli linani lamaqhawe uDavida ayelawo: UJashobeyamu indodana yomHakimoni inhloko yamatshumi amathathu; yena waphakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu, wababulala ngasikhathi sinye.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ acio maarĩ njamba a Daudi: Jashobeamu ũrĩa Mũhakimoni nake aarĩ mũtongoria wa anene; nĩwe woire itimũ rĩake ahũũrane na andũ 300, nake akĩmooraga mbaara-inĩ ĩmwe.
12 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloEleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi; wayephakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.
Mũnini wake eetagwo Eleazaru mũrũ wa Dodo ũrĩa Mũahohi, ũmwe wa andũ atatũ arĩa maarĩ njamba.
13 Yena wayeloDavida ePasi-Damimi lapho amaFilisti ayebuthanele impi khona. Lesiqinti sensimu sasigcwele ibhali; abantu basebebaleka phambi kwamaFilisti.
Nake aarĩ hamwe na Daudi kũu Pasi-Damimu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afilisti moonganĩte marũe nao. Maarĩ handũ haarĩ mũgũnda waiyũire cairi, nacio thigari ikĩũrĩra Afilisti.
14 Bona bazimisa phakathi kwesiqinti, basikhulula, batshaya amaFilisti, iNkosi yasisindisa ngokukhulula okukhulu.
No-o nĩmaregeire gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio. Makĩũgitĩra, na makĩũraga Afilisti, nake Jehova akĩmahe ũhootani mũnene.
15 Abathathu ezinduneni ezingamatshumi amathathu basebesehlela edwaleni kuDavida, ebhalwini lweAdulamu; lebutho lamaFilisti lalimise inkamba esihotsheni seRefayimi.
Anene atatũ a acio mĩrongo ĩtatũ, nĩmaikũrũkire magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi ihiga-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩarĩ ngurunga-inĩ ya Adulamu, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mbũtũ ya Afilisti yaambĩte hema Kĩanda kĩa Refaimu.
16 UDavida ngalesosikhathi wayesenqabeni, lebutho lenqaba lamaFilisti ngalesosikhathi laliseBhethelehema.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi aarĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩrũmu nayo mbũtũ ya Afilisti yarĩ Bethilehemu.
17 UDavida waselangatha wathi: Hawu, kungathi omunye ubenganginathisa amanzi omthombo weBhethelehema osesangweni!
Daudi akĩĩrirĩria maaĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩndehera maaĩ ma kũnyua kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu!”
18 Labo abathathu bafohlela enkambeni yamaFilisti, bakha amanzi emthonjeni weBhethelehema owawusesangweni, bawathwala bawaletha kuDavida; kodwa uDavida kafunanga ukuwanatha, kodwa wawathululela iNkosi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ magĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ ka ita rĩa Afilisti, magĩtaha maaĩ gĩthima-inĩ kĩu kĩarĩ hakuhĩ na kĩhingo kĩa Bethilehemu, na makĩmatwarĩra Daudi. No Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua; akĩmaita mbere ya Jehova.
19 Wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami, ngoNkulunkulu wami, ukwenza lokho. Nginganatha yini igazi lalamadoda abeke impilo yawo engozini? Ngoba ngokubeka impilo yawo engozini, awalethile. Ngakho kafunanga ukuwanatha. Lezizinto azenza lawomaqhawe amathathu.
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arogiria njĩke ũguo! No ngĩnyue thakame ya andũ aya mathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ?” Tondũ nĩmathiĩrĩire ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ nĩguo mamarehe-rĩ, Daudi akĩrega kũmanyua. Maũndũ ta macio nĩmo meekagwo nĩ njamba icio ithatũ.
20 UAbishayi umfowabo kaJowabi, yena-ke wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena ephakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu wababulala; wasesiba lebizo phakathi kwabathathu.
Abishai mũrũ wa nyina na Joabu nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa acio Atatũ. Nake akĩoya itimũ rĩake, agĩtharĩkĩra andũ magana matatũ, akĩmooraga, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa igweta o ta acio Atatũ.
21 Kwabathathu wayehlonitshwa kulababili, wasesiba yinduna yabo; kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu abokuqala.
Nĩatĩĩkire mũno gũkĩra acio angĩ Atatũ na agĩtuĩka mwathi wao o na gũtuĩka ndaataranĩirio nao.
22 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yeqhawe leKabhiseyeli, wayemkhulu ngezenzo: Nguye owatshaya abakoMowabi ababili ababenjengezilwane; futhi yena wehla wabulala isilwane phakathi komgodi mhla weliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada aarĩ mũrũi njamba wa kuuma Kabizeeli, ũrĩa wekire maũndũ manene ma ũcamba. Nĩooragire njamba nene igĩrĩ cia ita cia Moabi. Ningĩ nĩatoonyire irima mũthenya warĩ na tharunji, na akĩũraga mũrũũthi.
23 Yena wasetshaya indoda engumGibhithe, umuntu omude, ozingalo ezinhlanu. Lesandleni somGibhithe kwakulomkhonto onjengogodo lomeluki; kodwa wehlela kuye ngenduku, wahluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe, wambulala ngowakhe umkhonto.
Na nĩooragire Mũmisiri warĩ wa ũraihu wa buti mũgwanja na nuthu. O na gũtuĩka Mũmisiri ũcio nĩanyiitĩte itimũ rĩaiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora, Benaia akĩmũtharĩkĩra na njũgũma. Akĩhuria itimũ kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũũraga na itimũ rĩu rĩake.
24 Lezizinto wazenza uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, waba lebizo phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.
Macio nĩmo maũndũ ma ũcamba marĩa mekirwo nĩ Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada. O nake aarĩ igweta o ta andũ arĩa atatũ maarĩ njamba.
25 Khangela, wahlonitshwa phakathi kwabangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu. UDavida wasembeka phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
Nĩatĩĩtwo gũkĩra arĩa Mĩrongo Ĩtatũ, no ndaataranĩirio na acio Atatũ. Nake Daudi akĩmũtua mũnene wa arĩa maamũrangagĩra.
