1 Imilando 21
1 USathane wasesukuma emelana loIsrayeli, wavusa uDavida ukuthi abale uIsrayeli.
KU e mai la o Satana i ka Iseraela, a hoowalewale mai la ia Davida e helu aku i ka Iseraela.
2 Ngakho uDavida wathi kuJowabi lakubabusi babantu: Hambani libale uIsrayeli kusukela eBherishebha kuze kufike koDani, lilethe kimi ukuze ngazi inani labo.
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Ioaba a i na luna o kanaka, Ou haele, e helu i ka Iseraela, mai Beereseba a hiki i Dana: a e lawe mai i ko lakou helu ana io'u nei, i ike au.
3 UJowabi wasesithi: INkosi kayandise ebantwini bayo njengoba benjalo ngokulikhulu. Nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo bonke yini izinceku zenkosi yami? Inkosi yami ikufunelani lokhu? Izakuba licala ngani kuIsrayeli?
Ekemu mai la o Ioaba, E hoonui o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, a pahaneri hou aku: aka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole anei lakou a pau na kauwa a kuu haku? No ke aha la hoi e makemake nei kuu haku ia mea? No ke aha la oia e lilo ai i kumu e lawehala ai o ka Iseraela?
4 Kodwa ilizwi lenkosi laba lamandla phezu kukaJowabi. Ngakho uJowabi waphuma, wahambahamba phakathi kukaIsrayeli wonke; wafika eJerusalema.
Aka, ua ikaika ka olelo a ke alii maluna o Ioaba. Nolaila, hele aku la o Ioaba, a kaahele mawaena o Iseraela a pau, a hoi mai la i Ierusalema.
5 UJowabi wasenika uDavida inani lokubalwa kwabantu. Njalo wonke uIsrayeli wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezizinkulungwane lezinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahwatsha inkemba; loJuda wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane lamatshumi ayisikhombisa ahwatsha inkemba.
Haawi aku la o Ioaba i ka huina o ka helu ana i na kanaka ia Davida. A o ka helu ana i ka Iseraela a pau, he tausani tausani a me ka haneri tausani keu ka poe i unuhi i ka pahikaua: a no ka Iuda eha haneri a me kanahiku tausani kanaka ka i unuhi i ka pahikaua.
6 Kodwa uLevi loBhenjamini kababalanga phakathi kwabo, ngoba ilizwi lenkosi lalinengeka kuJowabi.
Aka, aole ia i helu i ka Levi a me ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia ka olelo a ke alii e Ioaba.
7 Njalo kwaba kubi emehlweni kaNkulunkulu mayelana lalindaba; ngakho wamtshaya uIsrayeli.
A he hewa no ia mea imua o na maka o Iehova; nolaila ia i hahau ai i ka Iseraela.
8 UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Ngonile kakhulu ngoba ngenze linto. Kodwa khathesi, ake wedlulise ububi benceku yakho, ngoba ngenze ngobuthutha obukhulu.
Olelo aku la o Davida i ke Akua, Ua hana lapuwale iho nei au i kuu hana ana ia mea: a ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala ae oe i ka hewa o kau kauwa; no ka mea, ua hana lapuwale loa no wau.
9 INkosi yasikhuluma kuGadi umboni kaDavida isithi:
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Gada i ko Davida kaula, i mai la,
10 Hamba ukhulume kuDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Mina ngikubekela okuthathu; zikhethele okunye kukho engizakwenza kuwe.
O hele e hai ia Davida, i ka i ana aku, Eia ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, Ke hoike aku nei au nou i ekolu mau mea; e koho oe i kekahi o lakou, i hana aku ai au ia ia oe.
11 UGadi wasefika kuDavida wathi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Zikhethele:
A hele mai la o Gada, i mai la ia ia, Eia ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, e koho oe nou,
12 Kumbe iminyaka emithathu yendlala; loba inyanga ezintathu uqedwa ebusweni bezitha zakho lenkemba yezitha zakho ikufice; kumbe insuku ezintathu inkemba yeNkosi, ngitsho umatshayabhuqe wesifo, elizweni, lengilosi yeNkosi ichitha kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli. Ngakho-ke bona ukuthi yimpendulo bani engizayibuyisela kongithumileyo.
I na makahiki wi ekolu paha; a ekolu na malama paha e hee ai imua o kou poe enemi, a loaa mai oukou i ka pahikaua o kou poe enemi; a eia paha, ekolu la o ka pahikaua o Iehova, oia ke ahulau ma ka aina, a o ka anela o Iehova e luku mai ana ma na palena a pau o ka Iseraela. Nolaila hoi, e kuka iho oe i ka olelo na'u e hoihoi aku i ka mea nana au i hoouna mai.
13 UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngicindezelwe kakhulu; ake ngiwele esandleni seNkosi, ngoba izisa zayo zinengi kakhulu; kodwa kangingaweli esandleni somuntu.
Olelo mai la o Davida ia Gada, He pilikia nui ko'u: e aho e haule iho au ano iloko o ka lima o Iehova; no ka mea, he nui loa kona aloha: aole au make haule iloko o ka lima o kanaka.
14 Ngakho iNkosi yathuma umatshayabhuqe wesifo koIsrayeli; kwasekusiwa abantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
A hoouna mai la o Iehova i ke ahulau iluna o ka Iseraela; a make iho la na kanaka o ka Iseraela he kanahiku tausani.
15 UNkulunkulu wasethuma ingilosi eJerusalema ukuyibhubhisa; njalo isayibhubhisa, iNkosi yabona yazisola ngalobobubi, yasisithi kuyo ingilosi ebhubhisayo: Kwanele, khathesi buyisa isandla sakho. Ingilosi yeNkosi yayimi-ke ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.
A hoouna mai la ke Akua i kekahi anela i Ierusalema e luku iho ia wahi: a i kona luku ana, nana mai la o Iehova, a hoololi iho la i kona manao hoino mai; a i mai la ia i ka anela nana i luku mai, U'oki, e alia kou lima ano. A ku iho la ka anela o Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa.
16 UDavida wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona ingilosi yeNkosi imi phakathi komhlaba lamazulu lenkemba yayo ehwatshiweyo esandleni sayo iyelulele phezu kweJerusalema. UDavida labadala begqoke-ke amasaka bathi mbo ngobuso babo.
Nana ae la na maka o Davida iluna, a ike aku la i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana mawaena o ka honua a o ka lani, a he pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima i oia'ku maluna o Ierusalema. Alaila, o Davida a me na lunakahiko i aahuia i ke kapa inoino, haule iho la lakou ilalo ke alo.
17 UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kakusimi yini othe kababale abantu? Yebo yimi owonileyo owenze okubi sibili. Kodwa lezizimvu zenzeni? Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, isandla sakho ake sibe phezu kwami laphezu kwendlu kababa, kodwa hatshi phezu kwabantu bakho ukuthi bahlutshwe.
Olelo aku la o Davida i ke Akua, Aole anei owau ka mea i kauoha aku e heluia'i na kanaka? Owau io no ka mea i hewa, a i hana i keia mea ino maoli. Aka, o keia poe hipa, heaha ka lakou i hana'i? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova kuu Akua, e kau mai i kou lima maluna iho o'u a o ka ohana a ko'u makuakane; aole maluna o kou poe kanaka, e make ai lakou.
18 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisithi kuGadi katshele uDavida ukuthi uDavida kenyuke ayekwakhela iNkosi ilathi ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.
Alaila, kauoha mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Gada, e olelo aku ia Davida, e pii aku o Davida, a e kukulu i kuahu no Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa.
19 UDavida wasesenyuka ngelizwi likaGadi alikhuluma ngebizo leNkosi.
Pii aku la o Davida no ka olelo ana a Gada, ana i olelo ai ma ka inoa o Iehova.
20 UOrinani enyemukula wabona ingilosi; lamadodana akhe amane ayelaye acatsha. UOrinani wayebhula-ke ingqoloyi.
Haliu ae la o Orenana ihope, a ike aku la i ka anela, alaila pee iho la oia a me kana mau keikikane eha me ia. E hehi palaoa ana o Orenana.
21 UDavida esefika kuOrinani, uOrinani wakhangela wambona uDavida, waphuma ebaleni lokubhulela, wakhothamela uDavida ngobuso emhlabathini.
A i ka hele ana mai o Davida io Orenana la, nana ae la o Orenana, a ike aku la ia Davida, a hele aku la ia iwaho o kahi hehi palaoa, a kulou iho la ia imua o Davida, ilalo ke alo ma ka honua.
22 UDavida wasesithi kuOrinani: Nginika indawo yebala lokubhulela ukuze ngakhele iNkosi ilathi kuyo; nginike yona ngemali egcweleyo, ukuze inhlupheko imiswe ebantwini.
Alaila, i mai la o Davida ia Orenana, E haawi mai oe i ka wahi hehi palaoa, i kukulu iho ai au ilaila i kuahu no Iehova: e haawi mai oe ia'u ia no ke kumukuai maoli: i hookiia'i ke ahulau mai na kanaka aku.
23 UOrinani wasesithi kuDavida: Zithathele, inkosi yami inkosi kayenze okuhle emehlweni ayo; khangela, ngiyanika inkabi zibe yiminikelo yokutshiswa, lezimbulo zibe zinkuni, lengqoloyi ibe ngumnikelo wokudla. Ngiyanika konke.
I aku la o Orenana ia Davida, E lawe oe nou, a e hana iho kuu haku ke alii i ka mea pono imua o kona maka. Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i na bipi no na mohaikuni, a me na laau kaa palaoa i wahie, a me ka palaoa i mohaiai: ke haawi aku nei au ia a pau loa.
24 Kodwa inkosi uDavida yathi kuOrinani: Hatshi, kodwa ngizathenga lokuthenga ngemali egcweleyo; ngoba kangiyikuthathela iNkosi okwakho, loba nginikele iminikelo yokutshiswa ngaphandle kwentengo.
Olelo mai la o Davida ke alii ia Orenana, Aole, aka, he oiaio no, e kuai no au ia wahi no ke kumukuai maoli: no ka mea, aole au e lawe i kau no Iehova, aole hoi e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni i kuai ole ia.
25 UDavida wasemnika uOrinani ngaleyondawo amashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha egolide ngesisindo.
A uku aku o Davida ia Orenana i eono haneri sekela gula ma ke kaupaona ana, no ia wahi.
26 UDavida waseyakhela khona iNkosi ilathi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula, wayibiza iNkosi; yasimphendula ngomlilo ovela emazulwini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa.
A hana iho la o Davida i kuahu no Iehova malaila, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu, a kahea aku la oia ia Iehova; a maliu mai la oia ia ia mai ka lani mai i ke ahi maluna o ke kuahu mohaikuni.
27 INkosi yasilaya ingilosi; yasibuyisela inkemba yayo esikhwameni sayo.
Kauoha mai la o Iehova i ka anela; a hoihoi ae la ia i ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi.
28 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida esebonile ukuthi iNkosi imphendule ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi, wanikela khona imihlatshelo.
Ia manawa no, a ike aku la o Davida ua maliu mai o Iehova ia ia ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa, alaila mohai aku la ia ma ia wahi.
29 Ngoba ithabhanekele leNkosi uMozisi ayelenze enkangala lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngalesosikhathi kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibeyoni.
No ka mea, o ka halelewa o Iehova, a Mose i hana'i iloko o ka waoakua, a me ke kuahu mohaikuni, aia no ia i kela manawa ma kahi kiekie o Gibeona.
30 Kodwa uDavida wayengelakho ukuhamba phambi kwalo ukudinga uNkulunkulu, ngoba wethuswa yinkemba yengilosi yeNkosi.
Aka, aole i hiki ia Davida ke hele ilaila e ninau i ke Akua imua ona: no ka mea, ua makau oia i ka pahikaua o ka anela o Iehova.
