2 USamuyeli 23
1 La-ke ngamazwi okucina kaDavida. UDavida indodana kaJese wathi, lomuntu ophakanyiselwe phezulu, ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, lomhlabeleli omnandi wakoIsrayeli, wathi:
Eyi ne Dawid nsɛm a etwaa to: “Dawid, Yisai ba barima a Onyankopɔn maa no nkɔso a ɛyɛ nwonwa, na Yakob Nyankopɔn sraa no ngo no, Israel nnwomhyehyɛfo mu otiban:
2 UMoya weNkosi wakhuluma ngami, lelizwi lakhe lisolimini lwami.
“Awurade honhom kasa fa me mu; ne nsɛm wɔ me tɛkrɛma so.
3 UNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli wathi, iDwala likaIsrayeli lakhuluma kimi lathi: Obusa abantu uzakuba ngolungileyo, ebusa ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu.
Israel Nyankopɔn kasae. Israel botan ka kyerɛɛ me se: ‘Onipa a odi hene trenee mu, na ɔde Onyamesuro di hene no,
4 Njalo uzakuba njengokukhanya kwekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga, ikuseni engelamayezi, njengohlaza emhlabathini ngokukhanya emva kwezulu.
ɔte sɛ anɔpa hann, ɔte sɛ anɔpa a omununkum nni hɔ apueiwia hann; ɔte sɛ osutɔ akyi hyerɛn, na ɛma sare foforo pue fi asase mu.’
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.
“Ɛyɛ me fi na Onyankopɔn ayi. Yiw, ɔne me ayɛ apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ne nhyehyɛe yɛ afebɔɔ, bi nni hɔ bio, na wɔasɔw ano. Ɔbɛhwɛ me yiyedi ne me nkɔso daa.
6 Kodwa abakaBheliyali bonke banjengameva alahliweyo, ngoba engelakuthathwa ngesandla;
Na wɔn a wonnim Onyame no te sɛ nsɔe a wɔbɛtow agu, efisɛ wɔwowɔ nsa a eso mu no.
7 kodwa umuntu owathintayo uzazihlomisa ngensimbi langoluthi lomkhonto, azatshiswa lokutshiswa ngomlilo kuleyondawo.
Ɛsɛ sɛ obi kɔ amia mu ansa na watwa wɔn agu; wɔde ogya bɛhyew wɔn dwerɛbee.”
8 La ngamabizo amaqhawe uDavida ayelawo: UJoshebi-Bashebeti umTahekemoni, inhloko yezinduna; nguye uAdino umEzini, ngenxa yabangamakhulu ayisificaminwembili ababulawa ngasikhathi sinye.
Din a edidi so yi yɛ Dawid dɔmmarima: Nea odi kan ne Yoseb-Basebet a ofi Tahkemon, na ɔyɛ ɔsahene wɔ akofo akɛse Baasa bi so wɔ Dawid mmarima no mu. Ɔno na ɔde ne peaw kum atamfo akofo ahanwɔtwe wɔ ɔsa baako pɛ mu no.
9 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloEleyazare indodana kaDodo indodana kaAhohi, owamaqhawe amathathu ayeloDavida, ekudeleleni kwabo amaFilisti ayebuthanele khona impi, lapho amadoda akoIsrayeli esenyukile,
Nea ɔto so abien wɔ baasa no mu no ne Dodo babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ Ahohi aseni. Bere bi Eleasar ne Dawid ka bɔɔ mu, tew gyinae, de tiaa Filistifo bere a Israel asraafo no nyinaa aguan no.
10 yena wasukuma watshaya amaFilisti saze sadinwa isandla sakhe, lesandla sakhe sanamathela enkembeni. INkosi yasisenza usindiso olukhulu ngalolosuku; abantu basebebuya emva kwakhe ukuzaphanga kuphela.
Okunkum Filistifo no ara kosii sɛ afei, na ontumi mpagyaw ne peaw. Nanso Awurade maa no dii nkonim saa da no. Asraafo a wɔaka no ansan amma kosii bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkɔtase wɔn asade no.
11 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloShama indodana kaAge umHarari. AmaFilisti ayebuthene aba lixuku, lapho okwakukhona isiqinti sensimu sigcwele amalentili; njalo abantu babaleka ebusweni bamaFilisti,
Nea odi hɔ yɛ Sama a ɔyɛ Agee a ofi Harar babarima. Da koro bi, Filistifo no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Lehi, na wɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ aseduafuw bi mu. Israel asraafo no guanee,
12 kodwa wajama phakathi kwesiqinti, wasivikela, wawatshaya amaFilisti. INkosi yenza-ke usindiso olukhulu.
nanso Sama gyinaa ne nan so pintinn wɔ afuw no mfimfini, kaa Filistifo no gui. Enti Awurade ma odii nkonim.
13 Abathathu ezinhlokweni ezingamatshumi amathathu basebesehla, bafika kuDavida ebhalwini lweAdulamu ngesikhathi sokuvuna; lexuku lamaFilisti lalimise inkamba esihotsheni seRefayimi.
Twabere bi a na Dawid wɔ Adulam ɔbodan mu no, Filisti asraafo bɛkyeree nsraban wɔ Refaim bon mu. Dawid akofo nimdefo aduasa no mu baasa sian kohyiaa no wɔ hɔ.
14 Langalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, lebutho lenqaba lamaFilisti laliseBhethelehema ngalesosikhathi.
Saa bere no na Dawid te nsraban mu hɔ a na Filistifo asraafo no fa bi nso akɔtena Betlehem.
15 UDavida wasenxwanela, wathi: Hawu, kungathi omunye ubenganginathisa amanzi omthombo weBhethelehema ongasesangweni!
Dawid daa nʼakɔnnɔ adi se, “Ao, sɛ minya nsu pa a ɛwɔ Betlehem abura a ɛwɔ kurow no pon no ano hɔ no bi a, anka mɛnom.”
16 Lawomaqhawe amathathu asefohla adabula enkambeni yamaFilisti, akha amanzi emthonjeni weBhethelehema owawungasesangweni, awathatha awaletha kuDavida. Kube kanti kathandanga ukuwanatha, kodwa wawathululela iNkosi.
Enti baasa no bu faa Filistifo no mu kɔsaw nsu no bi fii abura no mu, de brɛɛ Dawid. Nanso wannom. Mmom, ohwie guu Awurade anim.
17 Wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami, Nkosi, ukuthi ngenze lokho; kakusigazi yini labantu abahambe lempilo yabo engozini? Ngalokho kathandanga ukuwanatha. Lezizinto azenza lamaqhawe amathathu.
Ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade ma ɛmpare me sɛ mɛnom eyi! Saa nsu yi som bo te sɛ saa mmarima yi a wɔde wɔn nkwa too hɔ, kɔsaw nsu yi brɛɛ me yi mogya.” Enti Dawid annom. Mmarimasɛm a Baasa no dii no nhwɛso bi ni.
18 Njalo uAbishayi, umfowabo kaJowabi indodana kaZeruya, wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena wasegiyela abangamakhulu amathathu ngomkhonto wakhe, ababuleweyo, wasesiba lebizo phakathi kwabathathu.
Na Yoab nua Seruia babarima Abisai nso dii Aduasa no anim. Da bi, ɔde ne peaw kum atamfo akofo ahaasa wɔ ɔsa baako pɛ mu. Saa akokodurusɛm yi nti ne din hyetaa sɛ Baasa no.
19 Kahlonitshwanga kakhulu yini kulabathathu? Ngakho waba yinduna yabo; kodwa kafikanga kwabathathu abokuqala.
Abisai na ogyee din pa ara wɔ Aduasa no mu. Ɛwɔ mu, wannye din sɛ Baasa no ho de, nanso na ɔno ne Aduasa no safohene.
20 UBhenaya-ke, indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yeqhawe, omkhulu ngezenzo, weKabhiseyeli. Yena watshaya ababili abanjengezilwane bakoMowabi; futhi wehla watshaya isilwane phakathi komgodi mhla weliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
Na Yehoiada babarima Benaia nso yɛ ɔkofo kokodurufo a ofi Kabseel. Odii mmarimasɛm bebree a bi ne sɛ, okum Moab akofo akɛse baanu. Bere bi nso, ɔtaa gyata, ma wɔkɔtɔɔ amoa mu. Na sukyerɛmma atɔ, ama fam ayɛ toro de, nanso ɔkyeree gyata no, kum no.
21 Yena wasetshaya indoda engumGibhithe, umuntu obukekayo; njalo umGibhithe wayelomkhonto esandleni sakhe; kodwa wehlela kuye elenduku, wawuhluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe, wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.
Bere bi nso, ɔde abaaporiwa a na okura no kum Misraimni ɔkofo kɛse bi a na ɔno kura peaw. Benaia hwim peaw no fii Misraimni no nsam, na ɔde kum no.
22 Lezizinto wazenza uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, waba lebizo phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.
Eyinom na Yehoiada babarima Benaia yɛe, ma ogyee din te sɛ Baasa no.
23 Wayehlonipheka kulabangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa kafikanga kwabathathu. UDavida wasembeka phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
Na ɔwɔ anuonyam sen wɔn a na wɔfra Aduasa no mu no biara, nanso na ɔnka Baasa no ho. Na Dawid yɛɛ no nʼawɛmfo no so sahene.
