1 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikilagi, amaAmaleki ayehlasele iningizimu, leZikilagi, ayitshaya iZikilagi, ayitshisa ngomlilo,
Awo Dawudi ne basajja be bwe baatuuka e Zikulagi, nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu, baasanga Abamaleki baalumbye obukiikaddyo mu ddungu; ne Zikulagi, baali bakikumyeko omuliro.
2 athumba abesifazana ababephakathi kwayo; kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu kawabulalanga muntu, kodwa abaqhuba, ahamba ngendlela yawo.
Baali batutte abakazi nga basibe, ne bonna abaalimu, abato era n’abakulu. Tewaali n’omu ku bo gwe batta, wabula okubawamba ne babatwala.
3 Lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika emzini, khangela, wawutshisiwe ngomlilo, labomkabo, lamadodana abo lamadodakazi abo sebethunjiwe.
Dawudi ne basajja be bwe baatuuka mu kibuga, baasanga kyokebbwa, era abakazi baabwe n’abaana baabwe aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala nga nabo bawambiddwa.
4 UDavida labantu ababelaye basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi akaze aba khona kubo amandla okukhala.
Awo Dawudi ne bonna abaali awamu naye ne bakaaba nnyo okutuusa lwe baggweeramu ddala agakaaba.
5 OmkaDavida bobabili labo babethunjiwe, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali weKharmeli.
Abakyala ba Dawudi bombi, Akinoamu Omuyezuleeri ne Abbigayiri nnamwandu wa Nabali Omukalumeeri, nabo baali babatutte.
6 UDavida wasecindezeleka kakhulu, ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba umphefumulo wabantu bonke wawubuhlungu, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yamadodana langenxa yamadodakazi akhe. Kodwa uDavida waziqinisa ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Mu kiseera ekyo Dawudi n’anakuwala nnyo kubanga basajja be baali boogera ku kumukuba amayinja, buli omu nga munyiikaavu mu mutima olwa batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe abaali batwalibbwa. Naye Dawudi n’afuna amaanyi okuva eri Mukama Katonda we.
7 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha umpristi indodana kaAhimeleki: Akungilethele lapha i-efodi. UAbhiyatha waseyiletha i-efodi kuDavida.
Dawudi n’agamba Abiyasaali kabona, mutabani wa Akimereki nti, “Ndeetera ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi.” Awo Abiyasaali n’agimuleetera.
8 UDavida wasebuza eNkosini esithi: Ngixotshane laleliviyo yini? Ngizalifica yini? Yasisithi kuye: Xotshana lalo, ngoba uzalifica lokulifica, ubakhulule lokubakhulula.
Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ngoberere ekibinja ekyo, nnaabakwata?” N’amuddamu nti, “Bagoberere, kubanga ojja kusobola okununula abawambe bonna.”
9 Ngakho uDavida wahamba, yena labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye, bafika esifuleni iBesori lapho abasalayo bahlala khona.
Awo Dawudi n’abasajja lukaaga ne batuuka ku kagga Besoli, abamu ku bo ne basigala awo,
10 Kodwa uDavida waxotshana labo, yena labantu abangamakhulu amane; ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basala, ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakuchapha isifula iBesori.
kubanga ebikumi bibiri ku bo baali bakooye nnyo n’okuyinza nga tebayinza kusomoka kagga. Naye Dawudi n’abalala ebikumi bina ne banyiikira okugoberera omulabe, ebikumi ebibiri ne basigala ku kagga nga bakooye.
11 Basebefica umGibhithe emmangweni, bamletha kuDavida, bamnika ukudla, wadla, bamnathisa amanzi;
Ne basanga Omumisiri mu nnimiro ne bamuleeta eri Dawudi. Ne bamuwa amazzi okunywa, n’emmere n’alya,
12 bamnika ucezu lwesinkwa somkhiwa lamahlukuzo amabili ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo. Kwathi esedlile umoya wabuyela kuye, ngoba wayengadlanga kudla, enganathanga manzi, insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
ne bamuwa ekitole eky’ettiini n’ebirimba bibiri eby’ezabbibu enkalu. N’alya n’addamu amaanyi, kubanga yali amaze ennaku ssatu, emisana n’ekiro nga talidde ku mmere wadde okunywa ku mazzi.
13 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi: Ngilijaha leGibhithe, inceku yomAmaleki, lenkosi yami ingitshiyile ngoba bengigula okwensuku ezintathu.
Awo Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Oli w’ani era ova wa?” N’addamu nti, “Ndi Mumisiri, omuweereza w’Omwamaleki. Mmaze ennaku ssatu nga ndi mulwadde muyi era mukama wange kyeyavudde ansuula wano.
14 Thina besihlasela iningizimu yamaKerethi, lakwelakoJuda, leningizimu yakoKalebi, leZikilagi sayitshisa ngomlilo.
Twalumba obukiikaddyo obw’Abakeresi, n’ensi ya Yuda n’obukiikaddyo obwa Kalebu, ne twokya ne Zikulagi.”
15 UDavida wasesithi kulo: Ungangehlisela kuleloviyo yini? Laselisithi: Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala, njalo kawuyikunginikela esandleni senkosi yami, besengikwehlisela kuleloviyo.
Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Oyinza okuntwala eri ekibinja ekyo ekyalumbye?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ssooka ondayirire Katonda, nga tolinzita so tolimpaayo eri mukama wange, ndyoke nkuserengese gye bali.”
16 Selimehlisile, khangela, babehlakazekile ebusweni bomhlaba wonke, besidla, benatha, begidela impango enkulu ababeyithethe elizweni lamaFilisti lelizweni lakoJuda.
N’abakulembera n’abatwalayo, era laba, nga basaasaanye mu kifo kyonna ku ttale, nga balya, nga banywa, nga bazina olw’omunyago omunene gwe baggya mu nsi ey’Abafirisuuti, ne mu nsi ya Yuda.
17 UDavida wasebatshaya kusukela libantubahle kwaze kwaba kusihlwa kosuku olulandelayo lwabo. Njalo kakuphunyukanga muntu kubo, ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane, agada amakamela, abaleka.
Dawudi n’atandika okubatta okuva akawungeezi okutuusa enkeera, ne watawonawo n’omu, okuggyako abavubuka ebikumi bina abeebagala eŋŋamira ne badduka.
18 UDavida wasekhulula konke amaAmaleki ayekuthethe, labomkakhe bobabili uDavida wabakhulula.
Dawudi n’akomyawo byonna Abamaleki bye baali banyaze, ng’omwo mwe muli ne bakyala be ababiri abaali bawambiddwa.
19 Njalo kakusilelanga lutho kubo kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu, kuze kube semadodaneni lemadodakazini, lempangweni, ngitsho lakuphi ababezithathele khona; uDavida wakubuyisa konke.
Ne watabaawo na kimu ekyabula, oba kitono oba kinene, newaakubadde abaana aboobulenzi oba aboobuwala, n’omunyago na buli kintu kyonna ku ebyo bye baatwala. Dawudi yakomyawo buli kimu.
20 UDavida wasethatha zonke izimvu lenkomo. Baziqhuba phambi kwenkomo lezo, bathi: Le yimpango kaDavida.
N’atwala ebisibo byonna n’amagana gonna, abasajja be ne babikulembeza ebisolo ebirala byonna, nga bwe boogera nti, “Guno gwe munyago gwa Dawudi.”
21 UDavida wasefika kulabobantu abangamakhulu amabili ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakulandela uDavida, abathi kabahlale esifuleni seBesori; basebephuma ukumhlangabeza uDavida lokuhlangabeza abantu ababelaye. Lapho uDavida esondela kubantu, wababuza impilakahle.
Awo Dawudi n’addayo eri bali ebikumi ebibiri abaali bakooye ennyo, nga tebayinza kumugoberera, abaasigala ku kagga Besoli. Ne bavaayo okusisinkana Dawudi n’abantu abaali naye, n’abalamusa.
22 Basebephendula bonke abantu ababi labakaBheliyali phakathi kwabantu ababehambe loDavida bathi: Njengoba bengahambanga lathi, kasiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhululileyo, ngaphandle kwakuleyo laleyondoda umkayo labantwana bayo, ukuthi babakhokhele bahambe.
Naye abamu ku basajja abaagenda ne Dawudi abaali ababi n’abalala nga bafujjo, ne boogera nti, “Tetujja kugabana nabo munyago gwe twasuuzizza omulabe, kubanga tebaagenze naffe. Wabula, buli musajja addizibwe mukazi we n’abaana be agende.”
23 Kodwa uDavida wathi: Kaliyikwenza njalo, bafowethu, ngalokho iNkosi esiphe khona, esilondolozileyo, yanikela esandleni sethu iviyo eleza lamelana lathi.
Naye Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Nedda baganda bange, temusaana kukola bwe mutyo, Mukama by’atuwadde. Atukuumye era n’awaayo mu mukono gwaffe ekibinja ekyatulumbye.
24 Pho, ngubani ozalilalela kuloludaba? Ngoba njengesabelo salowo owehlela empini sinjalo isabelo salowo ohlala lempahla; bazakwabelana ngokulinganayo.
Ani anaabawuliriza ku nsonga eyo? Omuntu eyagenze mu lutalo ky’anaagabana, kinaaba kyekimu n’eky’oli eyasigadde ng’akuuma ebintu ebikozesebwa. Bonna banaagabana kyenkanyi.”
25 Kwasekusiba njalo kusukela mhlalokho kusiya phambili, ukuthi wakwenza kwaba yisimiso lesimiselo koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.
Ekyo Dawudi n’akifuula etteeka n’empisa mu Isirayiri ne leero.
26 UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathumela okwempango kubadala bakoJuda, kubo abangane bakhe, esithi: Khangela, isibusiso senu esivela empangweni yezitha zeNkosi.
Awo Dawudi bwe yatuuka mu Zikulagi, n’aweereza abakadde ba Yuda ebimu ku bintu eby’omunyago, abaali mikwano gye, ng’agamba nti, “Ekyo kirabo okuva ku munyago gw’abalabe ba Mukama.”
27 KwabeseBhetheli, lakwabaseRamothi yeningizimu, lakwabaseJatiri,
Yakiweereza ab’e Beseri, abaali mu bukiikaddyo mu Lamosi n’ab’e Yattiri,
28 lakwabaseAroweri, lakwabaseSifimothi, lakwabaseEshithemowa,
ab’e Aloweri, n’e Sifumosi, n’e Esutemoa;
29 lakwabaseRakali, lakwabasemizini yamaJerameli, lakwabasemizini yamaKeni,
n’e Lakali, n’abaali mu bibuga eby’Abayerameeri, ne mu bibuga eby’Abakeeni;
30 lakwabaseHorma, lakwabaseBorashani, lakwabaseAthaki,
n’e Koluma, n’e Kolasani n’e Asaki;
31 lakwabaseHebroni, lendaweni zonke lapho uDavida ahamba khona besiya le lale, yena labantu bakhe.
n’e Kebbulooni, ne bonna abaali mu bifo byonna Dawudi ne basajja be gye baatambuliranga.
