2 USamuyeli 12
1 INkosi yasithuma uNathani kuDavida. Wasefika kuye wathi kuye: Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini owodwa; enye inothile, lenye ingumyanga.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻa Natani kia Tevita. Pea naʻa ne haʻu kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Naʻe ai ʻae ongo tangata ʻe toko ua, ʻi he kolo pe taha: naʻe koloaʻia ʻae tokotaha kae masiva ʻae tokotaha.
2 Enothileyo yayilezimvu lenkomo ezinengi kakhulu.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe he koloaʻia ʻae fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lalahi ʻo lahi ʻaupito:
3 Kodwa engumyanga yayingelalutho ngaphandle kwewundlu elincinyane elilodwa elisikazi eyayilithengile, yalondla; lakhula layo, njalo labantwana bayo ndawonye. Ladla okocezu lwayo, lanatha okwenkezo yayo; lalala esifubeni sayo, lalinjengendodakazi kiyo.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he tangata masiva, ka ko e kihiʻi lami fefine pe taha, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatau pea pusiaki: pea naʻe tupu hake ia mo ia pea mo ʻene fānau; pea naʻe kai ia ʻi heʻene meʻakai ʻaʻana, pea ne inu mei heʻene ipu ʻaʻana, pea naʻe tokoto ia ki hono fatafata, pea naʻe tatau ia kiate ia mo ha ʻofefine.
4 Kwasekufika isihambi endodeni enothileyo; yasiyekela ukuthatha ezimvini zayo lenkomeni zayo ukulungisela isihambi esasifike kiyo, kodwa yathatha iwundlu elisikazi lendoda engumyanga, yalilungisela umuntu owayefike kiyo.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata fononga ki he tangata koloaʻia, pea naʻa ne mamae ke fili mei heʻene fanga manu siʻi ʻaʻana, mo ʻene fanga manu lalahi, ke teuteu ia maʻae tangata fononga ʻaia naʻe haʻu kiate ia; ka naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae lami ʻae tangata masiva, ʻo ne teuteuʻi ia maʻae tangata ʻaia naʻe haʻu kiate ia.”
5 Ulaka lukaDavida lwaseluvuthela lowomuntu kakhulu, wathi kuNathani: Kuphila kukaJehova, isibili umuntu owenze lokho uyindodana yokufa.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo vela lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Tevita ki he tangata; pea naʻa ne pehē kia Netane, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻoku totonu ke mate ʻae tangata ʻaia kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni:
6 Njalo uzalibuyisela iwundlu elisikazi liphindwe kane, ngenxa yokuthi enze le into langenxa yokuthi engabanga lozwelo.
Pea ʻe totongi ia ʻae lami ke liunga fā, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ha angaʻofa.”
7 UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Nguwe lowomuntu! Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Ngakugcoba waba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, ngakukhulula esandleni sikaSawuli.
Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe Netane kia Tevita, “Ko koe ʻae tangata ko ia. ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻaku pani lolo koe ke ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, pea naʻaku fakamoʻui koe mei he nima ʻo Saula;
8 Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho labafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho, ngakunika indlu kaIsrayeli lekaJuda; uba-ke bekukuncinyane, bengingakwengezelela okunje lokunje.
Pea naʻaku tuku kiate koe ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, pea u tuku ki ho fatafata ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, pea u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli pea mo Siuta; pea ka ne siʻi ia, pehē te u foaki kiate koe mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe.
9 Udeleleleni ilizwi leNkosi ukuthi wenze okubi emehlweni ayo? U-Uriya umHethi umtshayile ngenkemba, lomkakhe wamthatha waba ngumkakho, laye umbulele ngenkemba yabantwana bakoAmoni.
Ka ko e hā kuo ke paetaku ai ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae kovi ʻi hono ʻao? Kuo ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻUlia ko e tangata Heti ʻi he heletā, pea kuo ke ʻomi ʻa hono uaifi ke mali mo koe, pea kuo ke tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
10 Ngakho-ke inkemba kayiyikusuka endlini yakho kuze kube nininini, ngenxa yokuthi ungidelele, wathatha umkaUriya umHethi ukuthi abe ngumkakho.
Pea ko eni foki, ʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻae heletā mei ho fale ʻo taʻengata; koeʻuhi kuo ke manuki kiate au, pea kuo ke ʻomi ʻae uaifi ʻo ʻUlia ko e tangata Heti, ke hoko ko ho uaifi.
11 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakuvusela okubi kuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe omkakho phambi kwamehlo akho, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale labomkakho phambi kwalelilanga.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, te u fakatupu hake ʻae kovi kiate koe mei ho fale pe ʻoʻou, pea te u toʻo atu mei ho ʻao ʻa ho ngaahi uaifi, ʻo ʻatu ʻakinautolu ki ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻe mohe ia mo ho ngaahi uaifi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā ni.
12 Ngoba wena wakwenza ensitha, kodwa mina ngizakwenza le into phambi kukaIsrayeli wonke laphambi kwelanga.
He naʻa ke fai fufū ia ʻe koe ka te u fai ʻeau ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā.’”
13 UDavida wasesithi kuNathani: Ngonile eNkosini. UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: LeNkosi isusile isono sakho; kawuyikufa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Natani, “Kuo u fai ʻae angahala kia Sihova.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Netane kia Tevita, “Kuo ʻave foki ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo angahala; ʻe ʻikai te ke mate.
14 Loba kunjalo, ngoba wenze izitha zeNkosi zidelele lokudelela ngalindaba, laye umntwana ozalelwe wena uzakufa lokufa.
Ka ko eni, koeʻuhi kuo ke tuku ha tuʻunga ʻi he meʻa ni ke lauʻikovi ai ʻa Sihova ʻe hono ngaahi fili, ʻe mate moʻoni ʻae tamasiʻi kuo fanauʻi kiate koe.”
15 UNathani wasesiya endlini yakhe. INkosi yasimtshaya umntwana umkaUriya amzalela uDavida, wagula kakhulu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Netane ki hono fale. Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae tamasiʻi ʻaia naʻe fānau ʻe he uaifi ʻo ʻUlia kia Tevita, pea naʻe mahaki lahi ia.
16 Ngakho uDavida wamncengela umntwana kuNkulunkulu; uDavida wasezila izilo lokudla, wangena, walala emhlabathini ubusuku bonke.
Ko ia naʻe kole ai ʻa Tevita ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e tamasiʻi; pea naʻe fai ʻae ʻaukai ʻe Tevita, pea ne ʻalu ʻo tokoto ki he funga kelekele ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
17 Abadala bendlu yakhe basebesukuma baya kuye ukumvusa emhlabathini; kodwa kafunanga, futhi kadlanga ukudla labo.
Pea naʻe tutuʻu hake ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo hono fale kiate ia, ke hiki hake ia mei he kelekele: ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ha meʻa mo kinautolu.
18 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavida zasezisesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile; ngoba zathi: Khangela, umntwana esaphila sakhuluma laye, kalalelanga ilizwi lethu; pho, singamtshela njani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angazilimaza.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻae tamasiʻi ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho. Pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita ke tala kiate ia kuo pekia ʻae tamasiʻi: he naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ʻi heʻene kei moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻa mau lea kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ia ki homau leʻo: kae huanoa ʻa ʻene fakamamahi ia, ʻo kapau te mau tala kiate ia kuo pekia ʻae tamasiʻi?”
19 Kodwa uDavida ebona ukuthi inceku zakhe ziyanyenyezelana, uDavida waqedisisa ukuthi umntwana usefile; ngakho uDavida wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Umntwana usefile yini? Zasezisithi: Usefile.
Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ʻa Tevita ki he fefanafanahi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe Tevita kuo pekia ʻae tamasiʻi; ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Kuo pekia ʻae tamasiʻi?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo pekia.”
20 UDavida wasevuka emhlabathini, wageza, wagcoba, wantshintsha izigqoko zakhe, wangena endlini yeNkosi, wakhonza; wasesiya endlini yakhe, wacela, babeka ukudla phambi kwakhe, wadla.
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita mei he kelekele, pea ne kaukau mo tākai ia, pea naʻa ne fetongi hono kofu, pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea fai ʻene hū: pea hili ia naʻa ne haʻu ki hono fale ʻoʻona; pea ʻi he fai ʻene fekau, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae meʻakai ki hono ʻao, pea naʻa ne kai.
21 Inceku zakhe zasezisithi kuye: Iyini le into oyenzileyo? Ngenxa yomntwana ophilayo uzile ukudla wakhala inyembezi; kodwa lapho umntwana esefile, uvukile wadla isinkwa.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ko eni ʻaia kuo ke fai? Naʻa ke ʻaukai mo tangi koeʻuhi ko e tamasiʻi ʻi heʻene kei moʻui; ka ʻi heʻene pekia ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻa ke tuʻu hake mo ke kai ʻae meʻakai.”
22 Wasesithi: Umntwana esaphila, ngizile ukudla, ngakhala inyembezi, ngoba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo iNkosi ingangihawukela ukuthi umntwana aphile.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Lolotonga ʻae kei moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻaku ʻaukai mo tangi: he naʻaku pehē, Ko hai ʻoku ʻilo, naʻa ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate au, koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi?
23 Kodwa khathesi usefile, ngizazilelani? Ngilakho ukumbuyisa yini futhi? Ngizakuya kuye, kodwa yena kayikubuyela kimi.
Ka ko eni kuo ne mate, pea ko e ʻumaʻā ʻeku ʻaukai? He te u faʻa fai ke toe omi ia? Te u ʻalu atu kiate ia ka e ʻikai toe haʻu ia kiate au.
24 UDavida wasemduduza uBathisheba umkakhe, wangena kuye, walala laye; wazala indodana, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguSolomoni. UJehova wasemthanda.
Pea naʻe fakafiemālieʻi ʻe Tevita ʻa hono uaifi ko Patisepa, pea naʻa ne ʻalu ange kiate ia, mo ne mohe mo ia: pea naʻa ne fanauʻi ʻae tama tangata, pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ia ko Solomone pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe Sihova.
25 Wasethuma ngesandla sikaNathani umprofethi, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguJedidiya, ngenxa kaJehova.
Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate ia ia Netane ko e palōfita; pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ia ko Sitaia, koeʻuhi ko Sihova.
26 UJowabi walwa-ke leRaba eyabantwana bakoAmoni, wathumba umuzi wobukhosi.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe Soape ki Lapa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo ne kapasi ʻae kolo ʻoe tuʻi.
27 UJowabi wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida wathi: Ngilwe leRaba, njalo ngathumba umuzi wamanzi.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Soape ʻae kau talafekau kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u tau ki Lapa, pea kuo kapasi ʻae kolo ʻoe ngaahi vai.
28 Ngakho-ke buthanisa abantu abaseleyo, umise inkamba maqondana lomuzi, uwuthumbe, hlezi mina ngiwuthumbe umuzi, lebizo lami libizwe phezu kwawo.
Ko ia foki, tānaki mai ʻae toenga ʻoe kakai, pea fakanofo ʻae tau ki he kolo, pea lavaʻi ia: telia naʻaku lavaʻi ʻeau ʻae kolo, pea ʻe fakahingoa ia ki hoku hingoa ʻoʻoku.”
29 UDavida wasebuthanisa bonke abantu, waya eRaba, walwa layo, wayithumba.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ne ʻalu ki Lapa, pea ne tau ki ai, ʻo ne hamu ia.
30 Wasethatha umqhele wenkosi ekhanda lakhe, osisindo sawo sasilithalenta legolide lelitshe eliligugu, waba sekhanda likaDavida. Wasekhipha impango yomuzi enengi kakhulu.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei he fofonga ʻo honau tuʻi, ko hono mamafa ko e taleniti ʻe taha ʻoe koula fakataha mo hono ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea naʻe ʻai ia ki he fofonga ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻa ne fetuku kituʻa ʻae koloa vete ʻoe kolo ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
31 Wakhupha labantu ababephakathi kwawo, wababeka emasaheni, lezikhalini ezicijileyo zensimbi, lemahlokeni ensimbi, wabadlulisa emahondweni ezitina; wenza njalo kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakoAmoni. UDavida labo bonke abantu basebebuyela eJerusalema.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻae kakai naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he lalo kili, pea ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toho vangavanga naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻaione, pea ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi toki ukamea, pea naʻa ne pule kenau ʻalu atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tutuʻanga makaʻumea: pea naʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻene fai ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni. Pea naʻe liu mai ki Selūsalema ʻa Tevita pea mo e kakai kotoa pē.
