2 USamuyeli 23
1 La-ke ngamazwi okucina kaDavida. UDavida indodana kaJese wathi, lomuntu ophakanyiselwe phezulu, ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, lomhlabeleli omnandi wakoIsrayeli, wathi:
Bino bye bigambo ebya Dawudi, mutabani wa Yese, eby’enkomerero: ebigambo eby’omusajja eyagulumizibwa, Ali Waggulu ennyo, Katonda wa Yakobo gwe yafukako amafuta, omuyimbi wa Zabbuli za Isirayiri:
2 UMoya weNkosi wakhuluma ngami, lelizwi lakhe lisolimini lwami.
“Omwoyo wa Mukama yayogerera mu nze, ekigambo kye kyali mu kamwa kange.
3 UNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli wathi, iDwala likaIsrayeli lakhuluma kimi lathi: Obusa abantu uzakuba ngolungileyo, ebusa ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu.
Katonda wa Isirayiri yayogera, olwazi lwa Isirayiri yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Omuntu bw’afuga n’obutuukirivu, n’afugira mu kutya Katonda,
4 Njalo uzakuba njengokukhanya kwekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga, ikuseni engelamayezi, njengohlaza emhlabathini ngokukhanya emva kwezulu.
ali ng’ekitangaala eky’oku makya, enjuba ng’evaayo ku ggulu nga tekuli bire, obudde nga butangaala oluvannyuma lw’enkuba okukya ereetera omuddo okuvaayo mu ttaka.’
5 Lanxa indlu yami ingenjalo kuNkulunkulu, kube kanti wenzile lami isivumelwano esilaphakade, esimiswe kuhle ezintweni zonke, lesigcinekileyo, ngoba lonke usindiso lwami lesiloyiso sikuso, lanxa engasikhulisi.
Ennyumba yange tetuukiridde mu maaso ga Katonda? Teyalagaana nange endagaano ey’enkalakkalira, n’agiteekateeka era n’aginyweza mu buli nsonga? Ekimulobera okumpa omukisa, n’okuddamu buli kye mmusaba, kiki?
6 Kodwa abakaBheliyali bonke banjengameva alahliweyo, ngoba engelakuthathwa ngesandla;
Naye abatatya Katonda baliba nga amaggwa agasuulibwa wa bbali, kizibu okugakwata n’engalo.
7 kodwa umuntu owathintayo uzazihlomisa ngensimbi langoluthi lomkhonto, azatshiswa lokutshiswa ngomlilo kuleyondawo.
Buli agakwatako kimugwanira okukozesa ekyuma oba olunyago lw’effumu, era gookerwa awo omuliro we bagakuŋŋaanyirizza.”
8 La ngamabizo amaqhawe uDavida ayelawo: UJoshebi-Bashebeti umTahekemoni, inhloko yezinduna; nguye uAdino umEzini, ngenxa yabangamakhulu ayisificaminwembili ababulawa ngasikhathi sinye.
Gano ge mannya ag’abasajja ba Dawudi abalwanyi ab’amaanyi be yalina: Yosebu-Basusebesi Omutakemoni eyali omukulu wa bazira abasatu ab’oku ntikko; yatta abasajja lunaana mu lulumbagana lumu.
9 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloEleyazare indodana kaDodo indodana kaAhohi, owamaqhawe amathathu ayeloDavida, ekudeleleni kwabo amaFilisti ayebuthanele khona impi, lapho amadoda akoIsrayeli esenyukile,
Eyamuddiriranga ye yali Eriyazaali mutabani wa Dodayi Omwakowa. Yali ne Dawudi bwe baasoomooza Abafirisuuti abaali bakuŋŋaanye okulwana. Abasajja ba Isirayiri baali bazze ennyuma,
10 yena wasukuma watshaya amaFilisti saze sadinwa isandla sakhe, lesandla sakhe sanamathela enkembeni. INkosi yasisenza usindiso olukhulu ngalolosuku; abantu basebebuya emva kwakhe ukuzaphanga kuphela.
naye ye nayimirira ku bubwe n’atta Abafirisuuti, n’omukono gwe ne gukoowa, ne gusanyalalira ku kitala. Mukama n’abawa obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi olunaku olwo, abaserikale ne baddayo eri Eriyazaali okunyaga ebintu byabo abattibwa.
11 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloShama indodana kaAge umHarari. AmaFilisti ayebuthene aba lixuku, lapho okwakukhona isiqinti sensimu sigcwele amalentili; njalo abantu babaleka ebusweni bamaFilisti,
Owookusatu ye yali Samma mutabani wa Agee Omukalali. Abafirisuuti bwe baakuŋŋaanira mu musiri ogw’ebijanjaalo, abasajja ba Isirayiri ne babadduka,
12 kodwa wajama phakathi kwesiqinti, wasivikela, wawatshaya amaFilisti. INkosi yenza-ke usindiso olukhulu.
Samma yayimirira wakati mu musiri, n’agulwanirira, era n’atta Abafirisuuti. Mukama n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi.
13 Abathathu ezinhlokweni ezingamatshumi amathathu basebesehla, bafika kuDavida ebhalwini lweAdulamu ngesikhathi sokuvuna; lexuku lamaFilisti lalimise inkamba esihotsheni seRefayimi.
Mu kiseera eky’okukungula, basatu ku bakungu amakumi asatu ne bagenda eri Dawudi mu mpuku eya Adulamu, ekibinja ky’Abafirisuuti nga basiisidde mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.
14 Langalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, lebutho lenqaba lamaFilisti laliseBhethelehema ngalesosikhathi.
Mu kiseera ekyo Dawudi yali mu kigo, n’olusiisira lw’Abafirisuuti nga luli mu Besirekemu.
15 UDavida wasenxwanela, wathi: Hawu, kungathi omunye ubenganginathisa amanzi omthombo weBhethelehema ongasesangweni!
Dawudi n’alumwa ennyonta, n’ayogera nti, “Waliwo omuntu ayinza okunsenera amazzi okuva mu luzzi oluliraanye wankaaki wa Besirekemu?”
16 Lawomaqhawe amathathu asefohla adabula enkambeni yamaFilisti, akha amanzi emthonjeni weBhethelehema owawungasesangweni, awathatha awaletha kuDavida. Kube kanti kathandanga ukuwanatha, kodwa wawathululela iNkosi.
Awo abasajja be abazira abasatu ne bawaguza mu nkambi ey’Abafirisuuti, ne basena amazzi okuva mu luzzi lwa Besirekemu olwali luliraanye wankaaki, ne bagatwalira Dawudi.
17 Wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami, Nkosi, ukuthi ngenze lokho; kakusigazi yini labantu abahambe lempilo yabo engozini? Ngalokho kathandanga ukuwanatha. Lezizinto azenza lamaqhawe amathathu.
Naye mu kifo eky’okuganywa n’agayiwayo eri Mukama. N’ayogera nti, “Kikafuuwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda, nze okukola ekyo. Nnyinza ntya okunywa omusaayi ogw’abasajja abawaddeyo obulamu bwabwe?” Bw’atyo n’ataganywa. Ebyo bye bimu ku bintu abasajja abo abasatu abazira bye baakola.
18 Njalo uAbishayi, umfowabo kaJowabi indodana kaZeruya, wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena wasegiyela abangamakhulu amathathu ngomkhonto wakhe, ababuleweyo, wasesiba lebizo phakathi kwabathathu.
Waaliwo ne Abisaayi muganda wa Yowaabu, mutabani wa Zeruyiya, naye nga mukulu w’abasajja amakumi asatu. Yayimusiza effumu lye eri abasajja ebikumi bisatu n’abatta, ne yeekolera erinnya okwenkanankana abasatu.
19 Kahlonitshwanga kakhulu yini kulabathathu? Ngakho waba yinduna yabo; kodwa kafikanga kwabathathu abokuqala.
N’aba wa kitiibwa nnyo mu bali amakumi asatu newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abali abasatu.
20 UBhenaya-ke, indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yeqhawe, omkhulu ngezenzo, weKabhiseyeli. Yena watshaya ababili abanjengezilwane bakoMowabi; futhi wehla watshaya isilwane phakathi komgodi mhla weliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
Ne Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada ow’e Kabuzeeri yali musajja mulwanyi nnyo eyakola ebyobuzira ebikulu. Yatta babiri ku basajja abazira aba Mowaabu, ate n’aserengeta ne mu bunnya n’atta empologoma mu kiseera eky’obutiti.
21 Yena wasetshaya indoda engumGibhithe, umuntu obukekayo; njalo umGibhithe wayelomkhonto esandleni sakhe; kodwa wehlela kuye elenduku, wawuhluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe, wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.
N’atta Omumisiri omunene ennyo. Newaakubadde ng’Omumisiri yalina effumu mu mukono gwe, Benaya ye ng’alina muggo; yamunyagako effumu lye, n’alimuttisa.
22 Lezizinto wazenza uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, waba lebizo phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.
Ebyo bye byobuzira Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada bye yakola, era naye n’ayatiikirira ng’abasajja bali abasatu abazira.
23 Wayehlonipheka kulabangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa kafikanga kwabathathu. UDavida wasembeka phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
N’aweebwa ekitiibwa mu makumi asatu, newaakubadde nga teyatuuka ku ssa ery’abasatu. Dawudi n’amufuula omukulu w’abambowa.
