1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uDavida wabuza eNkosini esithi: Ngenyukele yini komunye wemizi yakoJuda? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Yenyuka. UDavida wasesithi: Ngiye ngaphi? Yasisithi: EHebroni.
Hagi ana knazama fore'ma hutegeno, Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Nagra knare Juda vahe'mokizmi mago rankumapina vugahufi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Umarerio higeno Deviti'a mago'ane antahigeno, Ina kumate nagra vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona'a huno, Hebroni vugahane.
2 Ngakho uDavida wenyukela lapho, kanye labafazi bakhe bobabili, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali umKharmeli.
Higeno Deviti'a tare a'trema'a Jezrieli kumateti a' Ahinoamune, Karmeli kumate ne' Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea Abigeline nezanavreno vu'ne.
3 UDavida wasesenyusa abantu bakhe ababelaye, ngulowo lalowo labendlu yakhe; basebehlala emizini yeHebroni.
Hagi Deviti'a agranema mani'naza vene'nene, a'mofavre'zaminena zamavarege'za magoka mareri'za Hebroni kumate megagi'nea kumatamimpi umani'naze.
4 Kwasekufika abantu bakoJuda, bamgcoba khona uDavida waba yinkosi phezu kwendlu yakoJuda. Basebemtshela uDavida besithi: Abantu beJabeshi-Gileyadi yibo abangcwaba uSawuli.
Hagi anantega umani'nazage'za, Juda vahe'mo'za e'za Devitina masavena eme tagi'za frenente'za Juda vahe kinia azeri oti'naze. Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asamiza, Jabesh-Giliat vahe'mo'za Soli avufga eri'za ome asente'naze.
5 UDavida wasethumela izithunywa ebantwini beJabeshi-Gileyadi, wathi kibo: Kalibusiswe yiNkosi, ngoba lenze lumusa enkosini yenu, kuSawuli, lamngcwaba.
Hazageno Deviti'a Jabes-Giliati vahetega kema erino vu vahera anage huno huzmante'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a knare tamavutamava huta rankvatamimofo Soli avufgama erisentazarera, asomu huramante'nie.
6 Khathesi-ke, iNkosi kayilenzele umusa leqiniso; mina lami ngizalenzela lokhu okuhle, ngoba lenze loludaba.
Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a vagaore avesizanteti avesineramantena, knare tamavu'tamava'ma hazarera nagranena tamagrira knare navu'nava huramantegahue.
7 Khathesi-ke kaziqine izandla zenu libe ngamadodana amaqhawe; ngoba inkosi yenu uSawuli ifile; njalo lendlu yakoJuda ingigcobile mina ukuba yinkosi phezu kwabo.
E'ina hu'negu menina tamagra oti hanavenetita, koro osu hanavetita maniho. Na'ankure rantimo Soli'a hago frigeno, Juda vahe'mo'za kini maninka kegava huranto hu'za masave frenante'za kinia nazeri oti'naze.
8 Kodwa uAbhineri indodana kaNeri, induna yebutho uSawuli ayelalo, wathatha uIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, wamchaphisela eMahanayimi,
Hu'neanagi ana'ma nehigeno'a, Soli sondia vahete kva ne' Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-bosetina avreno Mahanaimi kumate vu'ne.
9 wambeka waba yinkosi phezu kweGileyadi, laphezu kwamaAshuri, laphezu kweJizereyeli, laphezu kukaEfrayimi, laphezu kukaBhenjamini, laphezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
Hagi ana kumatega agra huama huno, Giliati vahete'ene, Asuri vahete'ene, Jezrili vahete'ene, Efraemi vahete'ene, Benzameni vahete'ene Asuri mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene mika Israeli vahe kini manisie huno Is-bosetina azeri oti'ne.
10 UIshiboshethi, indodana kaSawuli, wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane esiba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, wabusa iminyaka emibili. Kodwa indlu yakoJuda yalandela uDavida.
Hagi Soli nemofo Is-boseti'a 40'a kafu hu'neno, Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra Mahanaimi mani'neno tare kafufi kini eri'zana eri'ne. Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za Deviti amage ante'naze.
11 Lenani lensuku uDavida owaba yinkosi ngazo eHebroni phezu kwendlu yakoJuda laliyiminyaka eyisikhombisa lenyanga eziyisithupha.
Hagi Deviti'a Hebroni kumara rankuma'a tro huno mani'neno, 7ni'a kafugi 6'a ikampi Hebroni kumatera Juda vahe kinia mani'ne.
12 UAbhineri indodana kaNeri wasephuma, lenceku zikaIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, basuka eMahanayimi baya eGibeyoni.
Hagi Neri nemofo Abna'a Soli nemofo Is-boseti eri'za vahetami nezamavareno, Mahanaimi kumara atreno Gibeoni kumate vu'ne.
13 UJowabi indodana kaZeruya lenceku zikaDavida basebephuma bahlangana ndawonye echibini leGibeyoni; bahlala, abanye ngapha kwechibi labanye ngale kwechibi.
Hagi anama nehiana Zeruia nemofo Joapu'a Deviti sondia vahera nezamavareno Gibeoni tinkerire ome tutagiha huzmante'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za ana tirumofo kantugama umani emani hu'naze.
14 UAbhineri wasesithi kuJowabi: Amajaha ake asukume adlale phambi kwethu. UJowabi wasesithi: Kawasukume.
Anante Abna'a Joapuna asamino, Nehazaveramina hanunke'za zamazankno ha' hanaze huno higeno Joapu'a ana kerera, knarere huno hu'ne.
15 Kwasekusukuma kwedlula ngenani abalitshumi lambili koBhenjamini lakoIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, letshumi lambili lenceku zikaDavida.
Higeno 12fu'a vahera Benzameni nagapinti vahe Soli nemofo Is-boseti kaziga huhamprintageno, Deviti sondia vahepintira 12fu'a vahe huhampri zamante'naze.
16 Basebebamba ngulowo lalowo ikhanda lomunye, wagwazangenkemba yakhe ehlangothini lomunye; ngokunjalo bawa ndawonye. Ngakho leyondawo bayibiza ngokuthi yiHelekati-Hasurimi eseGibeyoni.
Hagi ana'ma hutage'za ana vahe'mo'za zamazeri zamente hute'za, ha'hu'za bainati kazinteti zamasoparega orefri are fri hu'za tarega kaziga vahe'mo'za ufrinte efrinte maka'mo'za hu'naze. Ana hu'nagu e'i ana Gibioni kumakura, bainati kumare hu'za nehaze.
17 Njalo kwaba lempi enzima kakhulu ngalolosuku, loAbhineri wehlulwa lamadoda akoIsrayeli phambi kwenceku zikaDavida.
Hagi ana zupa ha'mo'a ra higeno, Deviti sondia vahe'ene, Abna sondia vahe enena ra ha nehazageno, Deviti naga'mo'za ana hara huzamagatere'naze.
18 Ayekhona-ke lapho amadodana amathathu kaZeruya, oJowabi, loAbishayi loAsaheli. Njalo uAsaheli wayelesiqubu ezinyaweni njengomunye wemiziki yeganga.
Hagi ana hapina 3'a Jeruia mofavrezaga, Joapuki, Abisaiki, Asaheliki hu'za Deviti sondia vahera mani'naze. Hagi Asaheli'a dia afukna hu'neankino, agamareno vaniana ame huno vugahie.
19 UAsaheli wasexotshana loAbhineri; njalo ekuhambeni kwakhe kaphambukelanga ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo ekulandeleni uAbhineri.
Ana hu'negu Asaheli'a keganti kegama osu Abnana rotago huno nevigeno,
20 UAbhineri wasenyemukula, wathi: Nguwe uAsaheli yini? Wasesithi: Yimi.
Abna'a freno nevifinti rukrehe huno, Kagra Asaheligo? Higeno agra kenona huno, Izo nagre.
21 UAbhineri wasesithi kuye: Phambukela wena ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo, uzibambele elinye lamajaha, uzithathele izikhali zalo. Kodwa uAsaheli kavumanga ukuphambuka ekumlandeleni.
Higeno Abna'a anage huno asami'ne, Rukrahe hunka mago'a sondia vahe zamahenka ha'zazmia erio, hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ananke'a ontahi rotago huno vu'ne.
22 UAbhineri wasebuya futhi esithi kuAsaheli: Phambuka wena ekungilandeleni; ngizakutshayelelani emhlabathini? Pho, ngingaphakamisa njani ubuso bami kuJowabi umfowenu?
Ana higeno Abna'a Asahelina asamino, Narotogoa osunka natrenka vuo. Hagi anama osanankena kagri'ma kahezankura navesra hie. Hagi kagri'ma kahesu'na nankna hu'na negafu Joapu avurera vugahue?
23 Kodwa wala ukuphambuka; ngakho uAbhineri wamtshaya ngesidindi somkhonto kubambo lwesihlanu, umkhonto waze waphuma emuva kwakhe; wasewela phansi lapho, wafela kuleyondawo. Kwasekusithi bonke abafika endaweni lapho uAsaheli awela wafa khona, bema.
Hu'neanagi Asaheli'a ana ke'a ontahino, rotago huno vigeno Abna'a krugru keve'areti regeno amagenafinti uhanatigeno, anante frino traka hu'nege'za maka sondia vahe'mo'zama anante'ma ne-eza eme oti'naze.
24 UJowabi laye loAbishayi baxotshana loAbhineri; ilanga laselitshona, bona befika eqaqeni lweAma, olungaphambi kweGiya endleleni yenkangala yeGibeyoni.
Hianagi anama hige'nea Joapuke Abisaikea zagema ufre'zama nehigekea Abnana rotago huke, Gia tavaonte Amae nehaza agonare zage hanati kaziga Gibeoni ka'ma kokantega vu'nea kante e'na'e.
25 Abantwana bakoBhenjamini basebebuthana ngemva kukaAbhineri, baba lixuku linye, bema phezu koqaqa oluthile.
Anante Benzameni nagapinti vahe'mo'za omeri atru hu'za eri mago hute'za, Abna amagenare hu'za mago agonare ha' hunaku oti'naze.
26 UAbhineri wasememeza kuJowabi wathi: Inkemba izakudla njalonjalo yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi kuzakuba yikubaba ekucineni? Koze kube nini ungabatsheli abantu ukuthi babuye ekulandeleni abafowabo?
Hagi Abna'a Joapuna ke'zanke humino, tagra amanara huta hara huvava huta vugahupi? Henka ra knazampima ufresuna zankura kenka antahinkara nosampi? Hagi nankna zupa sondia vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za zamafuhe'ima zamarotagoma nehaza zana atregahaze?
27 UJowabi wasesithi: Kuphila kukaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokuthi ubukhulumile, isibili ngalesosikhathi kusukela ekuseni abantu ngabe benyukile, ngulowo lalowo esuka ekulandeleni umfowabo.
Higeno Joapu'a kenona huno, Tamage mani'nea Anumzamofo avufi kasamuanki, kagra e'inahu kea osantesina nagri vahe'mo'za tamarotago huvava hu'za nevazageno masa hisine.
28 UJowabi wasevuthela uphondo, bonke abantu basebesima, kababe besaxotshana loIsrayeli, futhi kababe besalwa njalo.
Hagi anante Joapu'a ufe rege'za zamarotagoma nehaza vahe'mo'za umani'za, mago'ane hara osu'naze.
29 UAbhineri labantu bakhe bahamba bedabula amagceke bonke lobobusuku, bachapha iJordani, badabula iBhithironi yonke, bafika eMahanayimi.
Hagi ana kenageke Abna'a sondia vahe'ane Araba vu'za Jodani agupofi vute'za, ti rakahe'za Bitroni vute'za, Mahanaim uhanati'naze.
30 UJowabi wasebuya ekulandeleni uAbhineri; esebuthanisile bonke abantu, encekwini zikaDavida kwasilela abalitshumi labayisificamunwemunye, loAsaheli.
Hagi Joapu'ma Abnama rotagoma nehiretira atreno, vuno sondia vahetamina ome zamazeri atru huno keana, Asaheli'ene 19ni'a Deviti sondia vahera omani'nazageno ke'ne.
31 Kodwa izinceku zikaDavida zazitshayile koBhenjamini lemadodeni akaAbhineri; amadoda angamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi ayisithupha afa.
Hianagi Deviti sondia vahe'mo'za, Abna sondia vahe'ma Benzameni naga'ma e'nazana 360'a vahe zamahe'naze.
32 Basebemthatha uAsaheli, bamngcwaba engcwabeni likayise elaliseBhethelehema. UJowabi labantu bakhe basebehamba ubusuku bonke, kwasa beseHebroni.
Hagi Abna'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Asaheli avufga eri'za nefama asente'naza havegampi Betlehemu ome asente'naze. Ana hute'za Joapu'ene agranema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za ana kenageke eva eva hu'za, Hebroni ehanatizageno kora eme atumasa hu'ne.
