1 Kwasekubikwa kuJowabi kwathiwa: Khangela, inkosi uDavida iyakhala inyembezi, ililela uAbisalomu.

Hagi kini ne'mo'ma Absalomunku'ma asunku huno zavi'ma ateankea mago'a vahe'mo'za Joapuna eme asmi'naze.

2 Ukunqoba ngalolosuku kwasekusiba yisililo ebantwini bonke, ngoba abantu bezwa ngalolosuku kuthiwa: Inkosi idabukile ngenxa yendodana yayo.

Hagi kini ne'mo'a, nemofonku zavi ate'ne hazanke'ma nentahiza, mika sondia vahe'mo'zama ha'ma huzamagateraza musezamo'a rukrahe hige'za, mikomo'za zavi ate'naze.

3 Abantu basebengena ngokunyenya emzini ngalolosuku njengabantu benyenya belenhloni bebaleka empini.

Hagi ana hige'za ha'ma huzmageterazage'za musema osu'zama zamagazegu'ma hu'za azaza hu'za mika sondia vahe'mo'za akohe'za rankumapina efre'naze.

4 Kodwa inkosi yagubuzela ubuso bayo, inkosi yakhala ngelizwi elikhulu yathi: Ndodana yami Abisalomu, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!

Hagi kini nemo'a asenire azana refiteno nemofo Absalomunkura rankrafage huno, nenamofo Absalomu, nenamofo Absalomuo huno zavira ate'ne.

5 UJowabi wasengena endlini enkosini wathi: Lamuhla uyangisile ubuso benceku zakho zonke ezisindise impilo yakho lamuhla lempilo yamadodana akho leyamadodakazi akho lempilo yabomkakho lempilo yabafazi bakho abancane.

Hagi Joapu'a kini nemofo nonte vuno kini nera ome asamino, Menina mofavre zagakane mofane zagakane a'nekane, henka a'nekanema zamagu'ma vazuna zankura ontahinka amanahu'za hunka tagazea eriramine.

6 Uyabathanda abakuzondayo, uzonde abakuthandayo. Ngoba ukuveze obala lamuhla ukuthi izinduna lezinceku kazisilutho kuwe; ngoba ngiyananzelela lamuhla ukuthi uba uAbisalomu ubephila, njalo thina sonke besifile lamuhla, ukuthi bekungabe kulungile emehlweni akho.

Hagi kagri'ma kahe'za haza vahe zamavesi nezamanteka, kagri'ma kavesi kantaza vahera zamavaresa huzmantane. Hagi e'ina'ma hana kavukvamo'a sondia vahete kva vahekane, sondia vahekanena zamage amne hane. Na'ankure Absalomuma ofri manigeta tagra maka'mota fruntesina, kagra muse hasine.

7 Ngakho-ke sukuma, uphume uyekhuluma enhliziyweni yezinceku zakho; ngoba ngifunga ngeNkosi, uba ungaphumi, sibili kakulamuntu ozahlala lawe ngalobubusuku. Lalokhu kuzakuba kubi kuwe kulakho konke okubi okukwehlele kusukela ebutsheni bakho kuze kube khathesi.

Hagi menina otinka megia vunka sondia vaheka'a kasunku kea ome huzamanto. Hagi e'i anama osananana, Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa huankino, mago vahe'mo'e huno meni kenagera kagranena omanigahaze. Hagi kasefa kareti'ma maninka enantegati'ma erinka e'nana knazana, meni knazamo'a agatereno havizantfa hugahie.

8 Inkosi yasisukuma, yahlala esangweni. Batshela bonke abantu bathi: Khangela, inkosi ihlezi esangweni; basebesiza abantu bonke phambi kwenkosi. UIsrayeli wayebaleke-ke, ngulowo lalowo waya emathenteni akhe.

Anage higeno kini nemo'a vuno kuma kahante'ma nemania trate umani'negeno, kini ne'mo'ma kuma kahante manine kema mika vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, eza eme ke'naze. Hianagi anama hige'za Absalomu avaririza vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za seli nonkuma zamirega vu'naze.

9 Njalo abantu bonke babephikisana ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli besithi: Inkosi yasikhulula esandleni sezitha zethu, njalo yona yasophula esandleni samaFilisti; kodwa khathesi isibalekile elizweni ngenxa kaAbisalomu.

Hagi miko Israeli naga nofi'mo'za amanage hu'za ke hakarea hu'naze, kini ne'mo'a ha' vahe timofo zamazampintira tagunevazino, Filistia vahe zamazampintira taza hu'neanagi menima Absalomunku koro huno kini ne'mo'a kumara atreno fre'ne.

10 Kodwa uAbisalomu esamgcoba ukuthi abe phezu kwethu ufele empini. Pho-ke, lithuleleni ngokubuyisa inkosi?

Hianagi tagra Absalomu kinia azeri otunanagi, hapi ahazageno fri'ne. Hagi nahigeta kini ne' Devitina ke hazageno kini trara eme erino omani'ne?

11 Inkosi uDavida yasithuma kuZadoki lakuAbhiyatha abapristi, isithi: Khulumani labadala bakoJuda lithi: Kungani lingabokucina ukubuyisela inkosi endlini yayo? (Ngoba inkulumo kaIsrayeli wonke ifike enkosini endlini yayo.)

Hagi kini ne'mo'a anage huno pristi netre Zadokine Abiatanena kea atrezanante'ne, nahigeta kini nera kea hazageno noma'arera e'ne huta Juda vahera zamasamio.

12 Lingabafowethu, lilithambo lami lenyama yami; ngakho kungani lingabokucina ukubuyisa inkosi?

Hagi tamagra nagri naga manita nagri kora mani'nazanki nahigeta kea huta onavreta natrageno, aru vahe'mo'za navre'naze?

13 Lithi-ke kuAmasa: Angithi ulithambo lami lenyama yami? UNkulunkulu kenze njalo kimi engezelele ngokunjalo, uba ungayikuba yinduna yebutho phambi kwami zonke izinsuku esikhundleni sikaJowabi.

Hagi Amasana ome asami'o, agra nagri kora manine, nagra huhamprigante'nugenka Joapu nona erinka sondia vahetera kegava hugahane, nagrama havigema hanugeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a nahegahie.

14 Wasethobisa inhliziyo yabantu bonke bakoJuda, njengamuntu munye; basebethuma enkosini besithi: Buyela wena lazo zonke inceku zakho.

Hagi Juda nagara Deviti'ma hiankemo zamagu'a zamazeri rukrehe hige'za, Devitina kea atrente'za, kagrane maka sondia vahekane ete Jerusalemi eho.

15 Inkosi yasibuyela yafika eJordani; uJuda wasesiza eGiligali ukuyahlangabeza inkosi, ukuchaphisa inkosi iJordani.

Hagi Deviti'a Jerusalemi enaku Jodani tinte ne-ege'za Juda vahe'mo'za Gilgali kumate ome tutagiha hu'za azahu'za avre'za Jodani tina eme takahe'za enaku vu'naze.

16 UShimeyi indodana kaGera umBhenjamini, owaseBahurimi, wasephangisa wehla labantu bakoJuda ukuhlangabeza inkosi uDavida,

Hagi Gera nemofo Simei'a Benzameni nagapinti nekino Devitima eme negeno'a, mago'a Juda naga'ene kini ne' Devitintega ame hu'za urami'naze.

17 labantu abayinkulungwane bakoBhenjamini belaye, loZiba inceku yendlu kaSawuli, lamadodana akhe alitshumi lanhlanu, lenceku zakhe ezingamatshumi amabili belaye. Basebephangisa baya eJordani phambi kwenkosi.

Hagi Simei enena rama'a Benzameni nagapinti ne urami'naze. Hagi anampina Siba'a Soli eri'za ne-ene 15ni'a ne' mofavre zaga'ane, 20'a eri'za vahe'ane vu'naze. Hagi kini nemofo avuga ame hu'za Jodani tina takahe'za vu'naze.

18 Kwasekuchapha isikepe sokuchapha ukuchaphisa abendlu yenkosi lokwenza okulungileyo emehlweni ayo. UShimeyi indodana kaGera wasewela phansi phambi kwenkosi ekuchapheni kwayo iJordani.

Hagi tina takahe'za vute ete hu'za Deviti nagara zamaza hugantu atre'naze. Hagi kini ne'mo'ma tima takaheno kantu kazigama vu'zama nehigeno'a, Gera nemofo Simei'a agafi eme kepri hu'ne.

19 Wasesithi enkosini: Inkosi yami ingangibaleli isiphambeko, futhi ungakhumbuli lokho inceku yakho eyaphambeka ngakho mhla inkosi yami, inkosi, iphuma eJerusalema, ukuthi inkosi ikubeke enhliziyweni yayo.

Hagi Simei'a Devitina amanage huno asmi'ne, Jerusalemi kuma'ma atrenka nevanke'na hu'noa zankura nagra nasunku huanki ramoka, ana hazenkeni'a atrenanto.

20 Ngoba inceku yakho iyazi ukuthi mina ngonile; khangela-ke, ngifikile lamuhla ngingowokuqala wendlu yonke kaJosefa ukwehla ukuhlangabeza inkosi yami, inkosi.

Hagi antahio, nagra kefo navu'nava hu'na kumi hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu mika Josefe nagapintira nagra egota hu'na eme hufrufra hugantoe.

21 Kodwa uAbishayi indodana kaZeruya waphendula wathi: UShimeyi kayikubulawa yini ngalokhu, ngoba wathuka ogcotshiweyo weNkosi?

Hagi Zerua nemofo Abisai'a amanage huno hu'ne, Nahigenka Anumzamo'ma huhamprinte'nea ra nera huhavizana hu'nane? Hagi Simeiga frigahane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nea kini nera huhaviza hunte'nane.

22 UDavida wasesithi: Ngilani lani, madodana kaZeruya, ukuthi libe yisitha kimi lamuhla? Kuzabulawa umuntu lamuhla koIsrayeli yini? Ngoba kangazi yini ukuthi lamuhla ngiyinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli?

Higeno Deviti'a Abisaikiznine Joapukiznia amanage huno kenona hu'ne, ama tanagri' zana omne'ne. Hagi na'a higeta nagrira kehara hunenanta'e? Ama'na kna vahe ahefri kna omaneneanki, muse hukna me'ne. Na'ankure nagra menina Israeli vahe kini mani'noanki, mago vahera zamahe ofrigahaze.

23 Inkosi yasisithi kuShimeyi: Kawuyikufa. Inkosi yasifunga kuye.

Hagi Deviti'a rukarehe huno Simeina anage huno asami'ne, onkahegahue.

24 UMefiboshethi indodana kaSawuli wasesehla ukuhlangabeza inkosi. Wayengalungisanga inyawo zakhe, engalungisanga lendevu zakhe, engawatshanga lezigqoko zakhe, kusukela mhla inkosi ihamba kwaze kwaba mhla ibuya ngokuthula.

Hagi Soli negeho Mefiboseti'a, Deviti kenaku urami'ne. Hagi Deviti'ma Jerusalemima atreno viregatira Mefiboseti'a agia sese osuno, kukena'a sese osuno, agi'zokara ohareno atregeno me'ne.

25 Kwasekusithi esefikile eJerusalema ukuhlangabeza inkosi, inkosi yathi kuye: Kungani ungahambanga lami, Mefiboshethi?

Hagi Mefiboseti'ma kini ne'ma eme tutagiha huntegeno'a, kini ne'mo agenoka huno, Kagra nahigenka nagranena ovu'nane?

26 Wasesithi: Nkosi yami, nkosi, inceku yami yangikhohlisa; ngoba inceku yakho yathi: Ngizazibophelela isihlalo kubabhemi ukuze ngimgade, ngihambe lenkosi, ngoba inceku yakho iyaqhula.

Higeno agra kenona huno, ranimoka kagra antahi'nane, nagria nagiamo'a haviza hu'ne. Hagi Jerusalema atrenka vana zupa donkini'a azeri retro hunantenke'na va'neno hu'na eri'za vaheni'gu huana, anara osu'za renavatga hu'naze.

27 Njalo iyihlebile inceku yakho enkosini yami, inkosi; kodwa inkosi yami, inkosi, injengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; ngakho yenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho.

Hagi Siba'a natreno vuno kagrira havige ome kasamino, nagrira nazeri haviza hu'ne. Hianagi nagra antahi'noe, kagra Ra Anumzamofo ankero vahe kna hunananki, nazano kagri'ma kavesi'nea zana amne hunanto.

28 Ngoba yonke indlu kababa ibingesilutho ngaphandle kokuba ngabantu bokufa phambi kwenkosi yami, inkosi; loba kunjalo wayibeka inceku yakho phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho. Pho, ngiselalungelo bani ukuthi ngibuye ngikhale enkosini?

Hagi kagra nenfa nagara maka tahe frintesine. Hianagi kagra nagrane ne'zana eme no hunka hanke'na, kagrane ne'zana ne'noe. Hagi ranimoka na'ante mago'a zankura kagrira kantahige'na erigahue.

29 Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Usakhulumelani ngendaba zakho? Ngithe: Wena loZiba lizakwehlukaniselana insimu.

Hagi Deviti'a ana kemofo nona'a huno, Hago rama'a keaga hananki tagano. Soli mopa kagrane Siba'ene amu'nompinti refko huta erigaha'e.

30 UMefiboshethi wasesithi enkosini: Yebo, kayithathe yonke, lokhu inkosi yami, inkosi, isibuyile endlini yayo ngokuthula.

Hagi Mefiboseti'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Agrake Siba'a ana maka'zana erino. Hagi kagrama mago hazenkema e'orinka knare'ma hunka kumate'ma anazankura nagra muse hue.

31 UBarizilayi umGileyadi wasesehla evela eRogelimi, wachapha iJordani kanye lenkosi ukuyiphelekezela phetsheya kweJordani.

Hagi Bazilai'a Gileati kazigati ne'kino Rogerimi kumateti Devitina kenaku eramino Jodani tinte eme tutagiha hunteno, kegava hunteno vu'ne.

32 UBarizilayi wayesemdala kakhulu, eleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili; yena wayisekela inkosi ekuhlaleni kwayo eMahanayimi, ngoba wayengumuntu omkhulu kakhulu.

Hianagi Bazilai'a 80'a kafu huno ozafare'ne. Hagi agra feno nekino Deviti'ma Mahanamima umanigeno'a, kva hunteno upa'ma hia zana aza hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi'a feno ne' mani'negu anara hu'ne.

33 Inkosi yasisithi kuBarizilayi: Chapha kanye lami wena, ngizakusekela lami eJerusalema.

Anama higeno'a Deviti'a amanage huno Bazilaina asmi'ne, Tina takahenka nagrane Jerusalemi vananke'na, ome kegava hugantegahue.

34 Kodwa uBarizilayi wasesithi enkosini: Zingaki insuku zeminyaka yempilo yami ukuthi ngenyukele eJerusalema lenkosi?

Hagi Bazilai'a kenona huno, ramoka, nagra na'ante Jerusalemia vugahue? Nagra ozafa re'noanki'na za'za kna ama mopafina omanigahue.

35 Lamuhla ngileminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili; ngingehlukanisa phakathi kokuhle lokubi yini? Inceku yakho inganambitha engikudlayo lengikunathayo yini? Ngingabe ngisawezwa yini amazwi amadoda ahlabelayo lawabesifazana abahlabelayo? Kungani-ke inceku yakho isizakuba ngumthwalo enkosini yami, inkosi?

Hagi nagra 80'a zagekafu hugeno, navufgamo'a so'e osu'ne. Hagi kave'ma nene'na e'iza nenoe hu'na haga'a nontahue. Hagi zagamema hu vahe'mo'zama zagamema nehazage'na, nagra antahi so'e nosue. Hagi kini ne'moka nagra eri'za vahekamo'na na'ante kna kamigahue.

36 Inceku yakho izake ichaphe iJordani ingcosana nje kanye lenkosi; kungani-ke inkosi izangenanisa ngomvuzo ongaka?

Kini ne'moka kagrane Jodani tina takahe'na vugahuanagi, za'za kana ovugahuanki, kagra mago knare kavukva zana huonanto.

37 Ngiyakuncenga, yekela inceku yakho ibuyele, ukuze ngifele emzini wami eduze lengcwaba likababa lelikamama. Kodwa khangela, inceku yakho uKhimihamu, kayichaphe lenkosi yami, inkosi, uyenzele okulungileyo emehlweni akho.

Hagi natrege'na ete nagra kuma'nirega vu'na ufri'nena, nenrera nenfa matipi ome asenanteho. Hagi ama'ne eri'za neka'a Kimhamu'a, atregeno kagrane tina takaheno vinkenka nazano nagri'ma hunante'naku'ma hanana zana, agri ome hunto.

38 Inkosi yasisithi: UKhimihamu uzachapha lami; njalo mina ngizamenzela okulungileyo emehlweni ami, lakho konke okufunayo kimi ngizakwenzela khona.

Hagi Deviti'a kenona huno, Nagra Kimhamu'na avrenugeno Jodani tina takaheno nevanige'na, kagri'ma kavesinia zana amne huntegahue.

39 Bonke abantu basebechapha iJordani, lenkosi yachapha, inkosi yamanga uBarizilayi, yambusisa, wasebuyela endaweni yakhe.

Hagi mika vahe'mo'za Jodani tina takahe'za kantu kaziga vazageno'a Deviti'a Basilaina antako hunenteno asomu ke huntetegeno, ete kuma'arega vu'ne.

40 Inkosi yasisedlulela eGiligali, loKhimihamu wedlula layo; labo bonke abantu bakoJuda bayidlulisela phambili inkosi, futhi lengxenye yesizwe sakoIsrayeli.

Hagi Deviti'a Kimhamu'na avreno ete ti takaheno Gilgali nevige'za, mago'a Israeli vahe'ene sondia vahe'mo'za avega hu'za vu'naze.

41 Khangela-ke, bonke abantu bakoIsrayeli beza enkosini bathi enkosini: Abafowethu, abantu bakoJuda, bakuntshontsheleni, bachaphisa inkosi lendlu yayo iJordani labo bonke abantu bakaDavida belaye?

Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Devitinte e'za amanage hu'naze, nahige'za Juda tafuhe'za katrazagenka, kagra'ene nagaka'anena Jodani tina takaheta neaze?

42 Bonke abantu bakoJuda basebephendula amadoda akoIsrayeli bathi: Ngoba inkosi iyisihlobo sethu; pho-ke, lithukuthelelani ngalindaba? Sike sadlani okwenkosi? Kumbe isinike isipho yini?

Hige'za Juda vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi ke nona'a hu'za, tamagria nahigeno tamasia nevazie? Tagra rankini nemofona, agri naga mani'none. Hianagi tagrira kini nemo'a mago zana amnea tamigeta nononkeno mago'zana amnea ontami'ne.

43 Njalo amadoda akoIsrayeli aphendula amadoda akoJuda, athi: Silengxenye ezilitshumi enkosini, futhi lakuDavida silelungelo okwedlula lina. Pho, lasidelelelani ukuthi ilizwi lethu lingabi ngelokuqala ukubuyisa inkosi yethu? Kodwa ilizwi lamadoda akoJuda lalilukhuni kulelizwi lamadoda akoIsrayeli.

Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Juda vahe'mokizmi kenona hu'za, Tagra rama'a tamagrira tamagatereta 10ni'a naga nofi mani'nonankita, tagra rama'aza Devitimpintira erigahune. Hagi na'a hu'negeta e'inahu knara hunerantaze? Hagi tagra ese'zana ama kini nera ome avreta e'none. Hianagi Juda naga'mo'za mago'ane hanaveti'za Israeli nagara kehara rezamante'naze.
