2 USamuyeli 20
1 Kwasekusenzakala ukuthi kube khona lapho umuntu kaBheliyali, obizo lakhe linguShebha indodana kaBikiri umBhenjamini; wasevuthela uphondo wathi: Kasilasabelo kuDavida, kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese; wonke umuntu emathenteni akhe, Israyeli!
Pea ʻiloange naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻae tangata angakovi ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Sepa, ko e foha ʻo Pikili, ko e tangata Penisimani: pea naʻa ne ifi ʻe ia ʻae meʻalea, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau kau mo Tevita, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau tofiʻa fakataha mo e foha ʻo Sese: ʻE ʻIsileli ke taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale.”
2 Ngakho wonke umuntu wakoIsrayeli wenyuka wasuka emva kukaDavida, elandela uShebha indodana kaBikiri; kodwa abantu bakoJuda banamathela enkosini yabo, kusukela eJordani kwaze kwaba seJerusalema.
Ko ia naʻe hiki ai ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli mei heʻenau muimui kia Tevita, ka nau muimui kia Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili: ka naʻe pikitai ʻae kau tangata ʻo Siuta ki honau tuʻi mei Sioatani ʻo aʻu ki Selūsalema.
3 UDavida wasefika endlini yakhe eJerusalema; inkosi yathatha abafazi abalitshumi, abafazi abancane, eyayibatshiye ukuze balinde indlu, yababeka endlini elindiweyo, yabanika ukudla, kodwa kayingenanga kubo. Basebevalelwa kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwabo, bephila ebufelokazini.
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa Tevita ki hono fale ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he tuʻi ʻae kau fefine sinifu ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ke tauhi hono fale, ʻo ne ʻai kinautolu ki he fale naʻe leʻohi, pea naʻe fafangaʻi ai kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne hū atu ia kiate kinautolu, Pea ko ia naʻa nau pōpula ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau mate, ʻonau moʻui taʻeʻmali.
4 Inkosi yasisithi kuAmasa: Biza abantu bakoJuda babuthane kimi ngensuku ezintathu, lawe ube khona lapha.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻAmasa, “ʻI he teʻeki ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu ke ke tānaki mai kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea ke ʻi heni koe.”
5 UAmasa wasehamba ukubuthanisa uJuda, kodwa waphuza phezu kwesikhathi esimisiweyo ayemmisele sona.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻAmasa ke tānaki ʻa Siuta: ka naʻa ne tatali fuoloa ange ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe tukupau ʻe ia kiate ia.
6 UDavida wasesithi kuAbishayi: Khathesi uShebha indodana kaBikiri uzasenzela okubi okwedlula uAbisalomu; wena thatha inceku zenkosi yakho, uxotshane laye, hlezi azitholele imizi ebiyelwe ngemithangala, asiphunyuke.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApisai, “Ko eni ʻe lahi hake ʻi he kovi naʻe fai ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae kovi ʻe fai kiate kitautolu ʻe Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili: ʻave ʻe koe ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki, pea tuli kiate ia, telia naʻa ne maʻu ha ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi, pea ne hao meiate kitautolu.”
7 Kwasekuphuma emva kwakhe amadoda kaJowabi lamaKerethi lamaPelethi lamaqhawe wonke, basebephuma eJerusalema ukuxotshana loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
Pea naʻe tuli kiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻa Soape, mo e kau Keliti, mo e kau Peleti, pea mo e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei Selūsalema ke tuli kia Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili.
8 Sebeselitsheni elikhulu eliseGibeyoni, uAmasa weza phambi kwabo. UJowabi wayebhince isigqoko ayesigqokile, laphezu kwaso kulebhanti elilenkemba ebotshelwe ekhalweni lwakhe isesikhwameni sayo; esaqhubeka inkemba yawa.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki he fuʻu maka ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipione, naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻa ʻAmasa. Pea naʻe noʻotaki kiate ia ʻe Soape ʻa hono kofu naʻa ne ʻai, pea naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻae nonoʻo mo e heletā naʻe fakamaʻu ki ai mo hono ʻaiʻanga, ki hono tenga; pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu naʻe tō hifo ia ki lalo.
9 UJowabi wasesithi kuAmasa: Uyaphila yini, mfowethu? UJowabi wasebamba uAmasa ngesilevu ngesandla sokunene ukuze amange.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape kia ʻAmasa, “Hoku kāinga ʻoku ke moʻui lelei?” Pea naʻe puke ʻe Soape ki he kava ʻo ʻAmasa ʻaki ʻa hono nima toʻomataʻu ke ʻuma kiate ia.
10 Kodwa uAmasa wayengayinanzeleli inkemba eyayisesandleni sikaJowabi; wasemtshaya ngayo kubambo lwesihlanu, wathululela imibilini yakhe emhlabathini, kamphindanga, wafa. UJowabi loAbishayi umfowabo basebexotshana loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻe ʻAmasa ki he heletā naʻe ʻi he nima ʻo Soape: pea pehē naʻa ne hokaʻi ia ʻi hono lalo hui fatafata, pea naʻe tō hifo hono toʻotoʻonga ki he kelekele, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne taaʻi ia ke liunga ua; pea naʻa ne mate ai. Ko ia naʻe tuli atu ʻe Soape mo ʻApisai ko hono tokoua kia Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili.
11 Omunye wamajaha kaJowabi wema phansi kwakhe, wathi: Omthandayo uJowabi, longokaDavida, landela uJowabi.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kau tangata ʻo Soape, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ia ʻoku kau mo Soape, pea mo ia ʻoku kau kia Tevita, ke ne muimui ʻia Soape.”
12 UAmasa wasegiqika egazini phakathi komgwaqo omkhulu. Lapho lowomuntu ebona ukuthi bonke abantu bayema, wamsusa uAmasa emgwaqweni omkhulu wamusa egangeni, waphosela isembatho phezu kwakhe, lapho ebona ukuthi wonke ofika ngakuye wema.
Pea naʻe tokoto ʻa ʻAmasa ʻi he toto ʻi he loto hala. Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe he tangata ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa ne hiki atu ʻa ʻAmasa mei he loto hala ki he vao, mo ne ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ha kofu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mamata naʻe tuʻumaʻu ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ofi ki ai.
13 Esesusiwe emgwaqweni omkhulu, bonke abantu badlula bamlandela uJowabi ukuze baxotshane loShebha indodana kaBikiri.
Pea hili ʻae hiki atu ia mei he loto hala, naʻe muimui atu kia Soape ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ke tuli kia Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili.
14 Wasedabula kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, waya eAbeli ngitsho iBeti-Mahaka, lawo wonke amaBeri; basebebuthana bamlandela labo.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki ʻEpeli, pea ki Pete Meaka, pea mo e kakai ʻo Peli kātoa: pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻonau muimui foki kiate ia.
15 Basebefika, bamgombolozela eAbeli-Beti-Mahaka; babuthelela idundulu maqondana lomuzi, lema emthangaleni; bonke abantu ababeloJowabi basebewona umduli ukuwuwisela phansi.
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo kāpui ia ʻi ʻEpeli ʻi Pete Meaka, pea naʻa nau tanu puke ki he kolo pea naʻe hanga atu ia ki he ʻā kituʻa: pea naʻe haha ʻae ʻā ʻe Soape pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahinga ia ki lalo.
16 Kwasekumemeza owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo phakathi komuzi wathi: Zwanini, zwanini! Ake lithi kuJowabi: Sondela lapha, ukuze ngikhulume lawe.
Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe ha fefine fakapotopoto mei he loto kolo, “Mou fanongo! Mou fanongo! ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke mou tala kia Soape, Haʻu ke ofi mai ki heni, koeʻuhi ke u lea kiate koe.”
17 Esesondele kuye, owesifazana wathi: Nguwe uJowabi yini? Yena wathi: Nginguye. Wasesithi kuye: Zwana amazwi encekukazi yakho. Wasesithi: Ngiyezwa.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ʻo ofi kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine, “Ko Soape koe?” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, “Ko au.” Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Fanongo mai ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoʻo kaunanga.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou fanongo pe.”
18 Wasekhuluma esithi: Endulo babejwayele ukukhuluma besithi: Kababuze lokubuza eAbeli; basebeqeda ngokunjalo.
Pea naʻa ne toki lea, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa nau faʻa lea ʻi he kuonga ʻi muʻa ange, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni tenau fakafehuʻi ki ai ʻi ʻEpeli:” pea ʻe ngata ia ʻi ai.
19 Ngingowabokuthula, owabathembekileyo bakoIsrayeli; udinga ukuchitha umuzi lonina koIsrayeli. Uginyelani ilifa leNkosi?
Ko e fakamelino mo e angatonu au ʻi ʻIsileli; [ka ]ʻoku ke kumi ʻe koe ke fakaʻauha ha kolo pea mo ha faʻē ʻi ʻIsileli: ko e hā te ke fōngia hifo ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻo Sihova?”
20 UJowabi wasephendula wathi: Kakube khatshana, kakube khatshana lami ukuthi ngiginye loba ngichithe.
Pea naʻe talaange ʻe Soape ʻo pehē, “Ke mamaʻo ia, ke mamaʻo ia meiate au ke u folo hifo pe fakaʻauha.
21 Udaba kalunjalo; kodwa umuntu wasentabeni yakoEfrayimi, nguShebha indodana kaBikiri ibizo lakhe, uphakamisile isandla sakhe emelene lenkosi, emelene loDavida; nikelani yena kuphela, ngizasuka emzini. Owesifazana wasesithi kuJowabi: Khangela, ikhanda lakhe lizaphoselwa kuwe ngaphezu komduli.
ʻOku ʻikai pehē ha meʻa: ka ko e tangata mei he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ko Sepa ko hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo Pikili, kuo hiki angatuʻu hake ʻe ia ʻa hono nima ki he tuʻi, ʻio, kia Tevita: ke tuku mai pe ia pea te u ʻalu mei he kolo.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine kia Soape, “Vakai, ʻe lī atu ʻa hono ʻulu ʻi he ʻā kiate koe.”
22 Owesifazana wasesiya ngenhlakanipho yakhe ebantwini bonke. Basebequma ikhanda likaShebha indodana kaBikiri, baliphosela kuJowabi. Wasevuthela uphondo, bahlakazeka besuka kulowomuzi, ngulowo lalowo waya emathenteni akhe. UJowabi wasebuyela eJerusalema enkosini.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻae fefine ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻi heʻene fai fakapotopoto. Pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sepa ko e foha ʻo Pikili ʻonau lī atu ia kia Soape. Pea naʻa ne ifi ʻe ia ha meʻalea, pea naʻa nau tutuku atu mei he kolo, ko e tangata taki taha ki hono fale. Pea naʻe foki atu ʻa Soape ki he tuʻi ki Selūsalema.
23 Njalo uJowabi wayephezu kwebutho lonke lakoIsrayeli; loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKerethi laphezu kwamaPelethi;
Ka ko eni naʻe pule ʻa Soape ki he kautau kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ko Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata naʻe pule ki he kau Keliti pea mo e kau Peleti:
24 loAdoniramu wayephezu kwezibhalwa; loJehoshafathi indodana kaAhiludi wayengumabhalane;
Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtolami ki he tukuhau: pea ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute ko e tangata tohi meʻa ia:
25 loSheva wayengumbhali; loZadoki loAbhiyatha babengabapristi;
Pea ko e tangata tohi ʻa Siva: pea ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki pea mo ʻApiata:
26 loIra laye umJayiri wayengumpristi kaDavida.
Pea ko Ila ko e tangata Saili ko e ʻeiki lahi foki ia naʻe kau kia Tevita.
