2 USamuyeli 21
1 Kwasekusiba khona indlala ensukwini zikaDavida iminyaka emithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka ilandelana; uDavida wadinga ubuso beNkosi. INkosi yasisithi: Kungenxa kaSawuli langenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi, ngoba wabulala amaGibeyoni.
Bere a Dawid di hene no, ɔkɔm baa asase no so mfe abiɛsa, enti Dawid bisaa Awurade ɔkɔm no ho asɛm. Na Awurade kae se, “Esiane fɔ a Saulo ne ne fifo di wɔ kunkum a wokunkum Gibeonfo no ho nti na ɔkɔm saa aba no.”
2 Ngakho inkosi yabiza amaGibeyoni yathi kuwo: (AmaGibeyoni-ke ayengeyisiwo awabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa ayengawensali yamaAmori; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli babefungile kuwo; uSawuli wasedinga ukuwatshaya ekutshisekeleni kwakhe abantwana bakoIsrayeli loJuda.)
Enti ɔhene Dawid frɛɛ Gibeonfo no nyinaa. Na wɔnka Israelfo no ho, na mmom, wɔyɛ Amorifo nkaefo bi. Israel kaa ntam se, wɔrenkum wɔn, nanso esiane Saulo ahopere nti, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔtɔre wɔn ase.
3 Ngakho uDavida wathi kumaGibeyoni: Ngingalenzelani? Ngingayenza ngani inhlawulo yokuthula ukuze libusise ilifa leNkosi?
Dawid bisaa Gibeonfo no se, “Dɛn na metumi ayɛ de apata mo? Monka, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Awurade behyira ne nkurɔfo bio.”
4 AmaGibeyoni asesithi kuye: Kayisindaba yesiliva kumbe igolide loSawuli lendlu yakhe; futhi kakusikwethu ukubulala umuntu koIsrayeli. Wasesithi: Lokho elikutshoyo ngizalenzela khona.
Gibeonfo no buae se, “Anokwa, sika rentumi, na yɛmpɛ nso sɛ wobekunkum Israelfo aweretɔ wɔ so.” Enti Dawid kɔɔ so bisaa wɔn se, “Enti dɛn na menyɛ? Monka nkyerɛ me, na mɛyɛ ama mo.”
5 Basebesithi enkosini: Umuntu owasiqedayo, owaceba emelene lathi ukuthi sichithwe singasali lakuwuphi umngcele wakoIsrayeli,
Na wobuae se, “Ɛyɛ Saulo na ɔdwenee ho sɛ ɔbɛsɛe yɛn, sɛnea yɛrennya afa biara wɔ Israel.
6 kasinikwe amadoda ayisikhombisa emadodaneni akhe, njalo siwaphanyekele iNkosi eGibeya kaSawuli, okhethiweyo weNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi: Mina ngizalipha.
Enti wonyi Saulo mmabarima anaa ne nananom mmarima baason mma yɛn, na yebekum wɔn wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Gibea bepɔw no so.” Ɔhene no kaa se, “Eye. Mɛyɛ.”
7 Kodwa inkosi yamyekela uMefiboshethi indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawuli ngenxa yesifungo seNkosi esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi kukaDavida loJonathani indodana kaSawuli.
Dawid gyaee Yonatan babarima Mefiboset a na ɔyɛ Saulo nena no, esiane ntam a na Dawid ne Yonatan aka wɔ Awurade anim no nti.
8 Kodwa inkosi yathatha amadodana amabili kaRizipa indodakazi kaAya ayewazalele uSawuli, uArimoni loMefiboshethi, lamadodana amahlanu kadadewabo kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli ayewazalele uAdriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMehola,
Nanso ɔde Saulo mmabarima baanu a na wɔn din de Armoni ne Mefiboset a na wɔn mama Rispa no yɛ Aia babea no maa wɔn. Ɔsan de Saulo babea Mikal a na ɔyɛ Adriel a na ɔyɛ Barsilai a ofi Mehola no yere mmabarima baanum no mae.
9 yabanikela esandleni samaGibeyoni, asebaphanyeka entabeni phambi kweNkosi, njalo abayisikhombisa bawa kanyekanye. Babulawa ensukwini zokuvuna, ensukwini zakuqala ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali.
Na Gibeon mmarima no kunkum wɔn wɔ bepɔw no so wɔ Awurade anim. Enti nnipa baason no nyinaa, wokunkum wɔn wɔ bere a wɔrefi atokotwa afahyɛ no ase no.
10 URizipa indodakazi kaAya wasethatha isaka, wazendlalela lona phezu kwedwala, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kwaze kwathonta amanzi phezu kwabo evela emazulwini; kavumelanga inyoni zamazulu ukuthi zihlale phezu kwabo emini, lezilo zeganga ebusuku.
Rispa a ɔyɛ mmarima no mu baanu mama no de atweaatam sɛw ɔbotan bi so, tenaa hɔ otwabere no nyinaa mu. Wamma nnomaa ammɛsosɔw wɔn amu no awia, na anadwo nso, osiw nkekaboa ho kwan.
11 Kwasekubikelwa uDavida lokho uRizipa indodakazi kaAya, umfazi omncane kaSawuli, ayekwenzile.
Bere a Dawid tee nea Rispa a na ɔyɛ Saulo mpena no ayɛ no,
12 UDavida wasehamba wayathatha amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi ababewebile emdangeni weBeti-Shani, lapho amaFilisti ayebaphanyeke khona mhla amaFilisti etshaya uSawuli eGilibowa.
ɔkɔɔ nkurɔfo a wofi Yabes Gilead nkyɛn, kobisaa wɔn Saulo ne ne babarima Yonatan nnompe ase. (Bere a Saulo ne Yonatan totɔɔ ɔko a wɔne Filistifo koe no ano no, Yabes Gileadfo na wɔkɔtasee wɔn amu wɔ Filistifo kurow Bet-San abɔnten so.)
13 Wasesenyusa esuka lapho amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe; basebeqoqa amathambo awababephanyekiwe.
Enti Dawid de Saulo ne Yonatan nnompe bae. Saa ara na ɔde mmarima a Gibeonfo kunkum wɔn no nso nnompe bae.
14 Basebewangcwaba amathambo kaSawuli lakaJonathani indodana yakhe elizweni lakoBhenjamini eZela, engcwabeni likaKishi uyise. Benza konke inkosi eyayibalaye khona. Njalo emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wancengeka ngenxa yelizwe.
Osiee wɔn nyinaa wɔ Saulo agya Kis ɔboda a ɛwɔ kurow Sela a ɛwɔ Benyamin asase so no mu. Ɛno akyi, Onyankopɔn twaa ɔkɔm no so wɔ Israel asase so.
15 AmaFilisti abuye aba lempi futhi loIsrayeli; uDavida wasesehla lenceku zakhe kanye laye, njalo balwa lamaFilisti; uDavida wasedinwa.
Bio, Filistifo ne Israel koe. Na bere a ɔko no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no, Dawid brɛe.
16 UIshibi-Benobi owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga, osisindo somkhonto wakhe sasingamashekeli angamakhulu amathathu ethusi, wayebhince inkemba entsha, wathi uzamtshaya uDavida.
Na Yisbi-Benob yɛ abran no asefo mu baako. Na ne peaw mu duru kari boro kilogram abiɛsa ne fa, a wɔde afoa foforo ahyehyɛ ne ho. Na waka Dawid ahyɛ a anka ɔrebekum no.
17 Kodwa uAbishayi indodana kaZeruya wamsiza, wamtshaya umFilisti wambulala. Khona abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye besithi: Kawusayikuphuma impi lathi, hlezi ucitshe isibane sikaIsrayeli.
Nanso Seruia babarima Abisai begyee Dawid, na okum Filistini no. Ɛno akyi, Dawid mmarima no kaa ntam se, “Wo ne yɛn renkɔ ɔko bio na amma Israel kanea annum no.”
18 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokhu kwaba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; khona uSibekayi umHusha watshaya uSafi, owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga.
Eyi akyi, ɔko foforo ba de tiaa Filistifo no wɔ Gob. Wogu so reko no, Sibekai a ofi Husan, kum Saf a na ɔno nso yɛ abran no asefo no bi.
19 Kwasekusiba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; uElihanani indodana kaJahari-Oregimi umBhethelehema, watshaya umfowabo kaGoliyathi umGiti, oluthi lomkhonto wakhe lwalunjengogodo lomaluki.
Ɔko foforo bi a wɔkoo wɔ Gob no nso, Yair babarima Elhanan a ofi Betlehem kum Gatni Goliat nuabarima bi. Na ne peaw mu duru te sɛ ntamanwemfo abaa.
20 Njalo kwabuye kwaba lempi eGathi, lapho okwakulomuntu omude, owayeleminwe eyisithupha ezandleni zakhe, lamazwane ayisithupha ezinyaweni zakhe, kungamatshumi amabili lane ngenani; laye-ke wayezalelwe isiqhwaga.
Ɔko bi a esii bio wɔ Gat nso, ɔbarima bran bi a na ɔyɛ nsansia ne nansia a ɔyɛ abran no aseni no
21 Lapho eseyisa uIsrayeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wamtshaya.
pɛɛ sɛ obu fa Israel so, gu nʼanim ase. Ɔno nso, Dawid nuabarima Simei babarima Yonatan na okum no.
22 Laba abane babezalelwe isiqhwaga eGathi; njalo bawa ngesandla sikaDavida langesandla senceku zakhe.
Saa Filistifo abran baanan yi yɛ Gat abran no asefo. Na Dawid ne nʼakofo na wokunkum wɔn nyinaa.
