2 USamuyeli 3

1 Kwakukhona-ke impi isikhathi eside phakathi kwendlu kaSawuli lendlu kaDavida; kodwa uDavida waya eqina, kodwa indlu kaSawuli yaya isiba buthakathaka.

Hagi anantetira Deviti naga'ene Soli naga'mo'zanena za'zate hara hu'za vu'naze. Deviti naga'mo'za mago'ane hanaveti'za vazageno, Soli naga'mofo hanavemo'a ome osi osi huno vu'ne.

2 Kwasekuzalelwa uDavida amadodana eHebroni; lezibulo lakhe lalinguAmnoni kaAhinowama umJizereyelikazi;

Hagi Deviti'a Hebronima mani'neno'a, ne' mofavrezaga zamante'ne. Hagi zage mofavremofo agi'a Amnonikino, Jezrili kumateti a'mo Ahinoamu kasente'ne.

3 leyesibili yakhe yayinguKileyabi kaAbigayili umkaNabali umKharmeli; eyesithathu yayinguAbisalomu indodana kaMahaka indodakazi kaTalimayi, inkosi yeGeshuri;

Hagi nampa 2 mofavrea Kiliabukino, Karmeli kumateti ne' Nebali kento a'ma Abigelima eri'nea a'mo kasente'ne. Hagi nampa 3 mofavre'a Absalomukino, Gesuri kumate kini ne'mofo mofa'mo Maka kasente'ne.

4 leyesine yayinguAdonija indodana kaHagithi; leyesihlanu yayinguShefathiya indodana kaAbithali;

Hagi nampa 4 mofavre'a Adonijakino Hagiti kasentene. Hagi nampa 5fu mofavrea Sefatiakino, Abitari kasente'ne.

5 leyesithupha yayinguIthereyamu kaEgila, umkaDavida. Laba bazalelwa uDavida eHebroni.

Hagi nampa 6is mofavrea Itreamukino, Egla kasente'ne. E'i ana mofavrezaga Deviti'a Hebroni mani'neno kasezamante'ne.

6 Kwasekusithi kuselempi phakathi kwendlu kaSawuli lendlu kaDavida, uAbhineri waziqinisa endlini kaSawuli.

Hagi ha'ma Deviti naga'ene Soli naga'enema nehaza knafina, Abna'a hanave sondia ne' Soli sondia vahepina mani'ne.

7 Njalo uSawuli wayelomfazi omncane, obizo lakhe lalinguRizipha indodakazi kaAya; uIshiboshethi wasesithi kuAbhineri: Ungeneleni emfazini omncane kababa?

Hagi Soli'ma mago a'ma eri'neana, Aia mofa Rizpa eri'ne. Hagi Is-boseti'a Abnankura huno, nahigenka nenafa ara antenka mase'nane?

8 UAbhineri wasethukuthela kakhulu ngenxa yamazwi kaIshiboshethi, wathi: Ngilikhanda lenja yini mina ongokaJuda? Lamuhla ngenzela indlu kaSawuli uyihlo umusa, kubafowabo, lakubangane bakhe, kangikunikelanga esandleni sikaDavida, ukuthi ungibeka icala ngowesifazana lamuhla?

Hagi Is-boseti'ma hiankegura Abnana tusi arimpa ahegeno amanage hu'ne, Juda vahe'mokizmi zukake kra nagra mani'nogenka nagrira balia rugantugma nehano? Hagi maka'zama negafa Soline, naga'ane, roneanema navesinezmante'na kagri'ma kavre'na Deviti azampima ome onte'noa zante miza naminaku nehunka, ama ara azeri savri hu'nane hunka nehano?

9 UNkulunkulu enze njalo kuAbhineri, engezelele ngokunjalo kuye, ngeqiniso, njengoba iNkosi ifungile kuDavida, qotho, ngizakwenza njalo kuye,

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Devitima huvempa hunte'nesia zama nagrama osanugeno'a, Anumzamo'a nagrira nazeri haviza hugahie.

10 ukudlulisa umbuso usuka endlini kaSawuli, lokumisa isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavida phezu kukaIsrayeli laphezu kukaJuda, kusukela koDani kuze kufike eBherishebha.

Hagi nagra Abna'na Soli kini trara Deviti eri amisugeno, Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'ene Dani vahera noti kazigati vuno sauti kaziga Berseba uhanatisigeno agrake kegava hugahie.

11 Njalo wayengelakumphendula uAbhineri ngalizwi futhi, ngoba wayemesaba.

Hagi Is-boseti'a mago kea osu'ne. Na'ankure Abnankura tusi'a koro hu'ne.

12 UAbhineri wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida esikhundleni sakhe, esithi: Ngelikabani ilizwe? Esithi: Yenza isivumelwano sakho lami; khangela-ke, isandla sami sizakuba lawe ukuphendulela uIsrayeli wonke kuwe.

Anante Abna'a ke erino vu vahete kea Devitina atrenteno anage hu'ne, Ama mopa kagri mopa me'neanki, nagri'ene kea eme huhagerafinka huvempa huge'na, nagra miko Israeli vahera zamazeri rukrahe hanena kagrite eho.

13 Wasesithi: Kulungile; mina ngizakwenza isivumelwano lawe, kodwa yinye into engiyifuna kuwe, ngeyokuthi kawuyikubona ubuso bami, ngaphandle kokuthi ulethe kuqala uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli, lapho usizabona ubuso bami.

Higeno Deviti'a ana kerera anage hu'ne, Knarekita huvempa huta huhagerafigahue. Hianagi Soli mofa Mikelima kagra avrenka eme namisunka, nagri navufina kegahane.

14 UDavida wasethuma izithunywa kuIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, esithi: Nginika umkami uMikhali engamgana ngamajwabu aphambili alikhulu amaFilisti.

Huteno Deviti'a ke erino vu vahete Is-bosetina kea atrenteno anage hu'ne, A'ni'a Mikelina avrenka eme namio. Na'ankure nagra 100'a Filistia vahe zamahe'na ko oku zamavufa anonteti mizase'noa a' mani'ne.

15 UIshiboshethi wasethumela, wamthatha endodeni yakhe, kuPalitiyeli indodana kaLayishi.

Hagi Is-boseti'a ana nanekema nentahino'a mago'a vahe huzamantege'za, Laisi nemofo Paltia nenaro Mikelina ome avre'za e'naze.

16 Kodwa indoda yakhe yahamba laye, ihamba ikhala inyembezi ngemva kwakhe kwaze kwaba seBahurimi. UAbhineri wasesithi kuyo: Hamba, buyela. Yasibuyela.

Hianagi ana ara avre'za neageno, neve'a zavineteno avaririno Bahurimi kumate egeno, Abna'a huntegeno, ete rukrahe huno kuma'arega vu'ne.

17 UAbhineri wasesiba lenkulumo labadala bakoIsrayeli esithi: Ngezikhathi ezidlulileyo lalifuna uDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kwenu.

Hagi Abna'a Israeli ranra vahera zamavare atru huno anage huno zamasami'ne, Kotera Devitinku kinitia manigahie huta tamagra hu'naze.

18 Khathesi-ke, kwenzeni, ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile ngoDavida ukuthi: Ngesandla senceku yami uDavida ngizakhulula abantu bami uIsrayeli esandleni samaFilisti lesandleni sazo zonke izitha zabo.

Hagi menina ana ketamire otita anaza hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Deviti huvempa hunteno, Filistia vahe zamazampinti'ene ha' vahe'tamimofo zamazampintira, Israeli vahera eri'za ne'ni'a Deviti zamagu'vazigahie hu'ne.

19 UAbhineri wasekhuluma futhi endlebeni zakoBhenjamini; uAbhineri njalo wasesiyakhuluma endlebeni zikaDavida eHebroni konke okwakukuhle emehlweni akoIsrayeli lemehlweni endlu yonke yakoBhenjamini.

Hagi anante Abna'a viazamo Benzameni nagara ome ana kea nezamasamino, ete ana kea erino Devitinte Hebroni vuno, hago maka Israeli vahe'ene Benzameni naga'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'naze huno ome asami'ne.

20 Ngakho uAbhineri wafika kuDavida eHebroni elamadoda angamatshumi amabili; uDavida wasesenzela uAbhineri lamadoda ayelaye idili.

Hagi Abna'a 20'a vahe'ene Deviti'ma mani'nerega Hebroni kumate egeno, Deviti'a rama'a ne'za krezmante'ne.

21 UAbhineri wasesithi kuDavida: Ngizasukuma ngihambe, ngibuthanise uIsrayeli wonke enkosini yami, inkosi, ukuze benze isivumelwano lawe, lokuthi ubuse kukho konke umphefumulo wakho okufisayo. UDavida waseyekela uAbhineri ukuthi ahambe, wasehamba ngokuthula.

Hagi ne'za nete'za Abna'a Devitina anage huno asami'ne, Natrege'na vu'na miko Israeli vahera rani kinimokare ome zamazeri atru hanuge'za, zamagra huvempa hu'za kagrira kini kazeri otisagenka, kagri'ma kavesiniaza hunka kegava huzamantegahane. Higeno Deviti'a Abnana atregeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

22 Khangela-ke, izinceku zikaDavida loJowabi bafika bevela ekuhlaseleni beza belempango enkulu. Kodwa uAbhineri wayengekho kuDavida eHebroni, ngoba wayemyekele ukuthi ahambe, wahamba ngokuthula.

Hagi Abna'ma Hebroni kuma'ma anama atreno'ma nevigeno'a, Deviti sondia vahe'ene Joapu'enena ha'ma nehazaregatira hapinti'ma eri'naza zantamina rama'aza eri'za e'naze. Hianagi Abna'a Deviti'enena Hebroni kumatera omani'ne. Na'ankure Deviti'a ko Abnana huntegeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

23 Esefikile uJowabi lebutho lonke elalilaye, bamtshela uJowabi besithi: UAbhineri indodana kaNeri ubefikile enkosini, imyekele wahamba; wahamba ngokuthula.

Hagi Joapu'ene sondia vahe'enema ehanatizage'za mago'a vahe'mo'za Joapuna asami'za, Neri nemofo Abna'a kini nete egeno, kini nemo'a magozana huonteno atregeno rimpa frune vu'ne.

24 UJowabi wasesiya enkosini, wathi: Wenzeni? Khangela, uAbhineri ubefikile kuwe; pho, umyekeleleni ukuthi ahambe, wahamba lokuhamba?

Higeno Joapu'a ame huno kini nete vuno amanage ome hu'ne, Na'a hu'nane? Abna'ma kagrite'ma egenka, nahigenka amnea atrankeno agra vu'ne?

25 Uyamazi uAbhineri indodana kaNeri ukuthi ulande ukukukhohlisa, lokwazi ukuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho, lokwazi konke okwenzayo.

Hagi kagra antahi'nane, Neri nemofo Abna'a regavatga huno maka zama nehanaza ke'naku e'ne.

26 Esephumile uJowabi kuDavida wathuma izithunywa ukulandela uAbhineri, ezambuyisa emthonjeni weSira; kodwa uDavida wayengakwazi lokho.

Anante Joapu'a Abnana ke atrentege'za Sira tinkerire nevige'za ome ke'za avre'za e'naze. Hagi e'i ana zama hiazana Deviti'a antahino keno osu'ne.

27 UAbhineri esebuyile eHebroni, uJowabi wamphambulela eceleni phakathi kwesango ukuze akhulume laye ngasese; wasemtshaya lapho kubambo lwesihlanu waze wafa, ngenxa yegazi likaAsaheli umfowabo.

Hagi Abnama ehanatigeno'a, Joapu'a avreno rankuma kafante agri'akema kema asaminaku'ma hiaza huno avreno viazamo, negana Asahelima ahe fri'nea zanteku huno bainati kazi ome erino rimpa retragufegeno fri'ne.

28 Kwathi uDavida esekuzwile emva kwalokho wathi: Mina lombuso wami kasilacala phambi kweNkosi kuze kube nininini ngegazi likaAbhineri indodana kaNeri.

Hagi henkama ana ke'ma Deviti'ma nentahino anage hu'ne, Nagrama kegava hu'noa vahe'mo'zane nagranena Ra Anumzamofo avufina keta antahita osu'nonankita, Neri nemofo Abna'ma fri'nea zamofo kora kumi'mofo knazamo'a tagritera omenetfa hugahie.

29 Kalihlale phezu kwekhanda likaJowabi lendlini yonke kayise. Kakungaqunywa endlini kaJowabi ogobhozayo, kumbe umlephero, kumbe odondolozelayo, kumbe owa ngenkemba, kumbe oswela ukudla.

Hagi Abnama ahe fri'nea zamofo knazama'a Joapu'ene mika nefa naga'amo'zane erigahaze. Hagi Joapu'ene agripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'mofona namu zamarege, fugo kri erige, azompare vano huge, bainati kazinu zamahe frige, nezanku zamagatege hanige'za frigahaze.

30 Ngokunjalo uJowabi loAbishayi umfowabo bambulala uAbhineri, ngoba wayebulele umfowabo uAsaheli eGibeyoni empini.

E'ina hu'negu Joapu'ene nefu Abisaikea Abnana ahe'na'e. Na'ankure agra nezanafu Asahelima Gibioni kumate'ma hapima ahe'nea zanku huke ahe'na'e.

31 UDavida wasesithi kuJowabi lakubo bonke abantu ababelaye: Dabulani izigqoko zenu, libhince amasaka, lilile phambi kukaAbhineri. Inkosi uDavida yasilandela ithala.

Hagi anante Joapune maka agranema mani'naza vahera Deviti'a zamasamino, Kukenatamia tagato nehuta, tamasunku kukena huta tamasunku huta Abnankura zavira ateho. Hagi kini ne' Deviti'a vahe'ma eri'zama nevaza vahe zamefi e'ne.

32 UAbhineri basebemngcwabela eHebroni; inkosi yasiphakamisa ilizwi layo yakhala inyembezi engcwabeni likaAbhineri, labantu bonke bakhala inyembezi.

Hagi Abnana Hebroni ome asentageno, keri'arera kini ne'mo'a tusi zavi ome atege'za, mika'mo'za Abnankura zavi ate'naze.

33 Inkosi yamenzela uAbhineri isililo yathi: Afe uAbhineri njengokufa kwesithutha yini?

Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno asunku zagamera Abnantera hu'ne, Abna'a negi vahera omani'neanagi, na'a higeno neginagi vaheknara huno frie?

34 Izandla zakho bezingabotshwanga, lenyawo zakho bezingafakwanga emaketaneni; njengowela phambi kwabantu ababi uwile. Bonke abantu basebephinda bemkhalela inyembezi.

Kazantera nofira kionte'za seni nofiteti kagarera kionte'naze. Hagi kagrira kefo vahe'mo'za kahe frize. Hige'za miko vahe'mo'za Abnankura tusi zavi ate'naze.

35 Bonke abantu basebesiza ukumenza uDavida ukuthi adle ukudla kusesemini; kodwa uDavida wafunga esithi: Kenze njalo uNkulunkulu kimi engezelele ngokunjalo, uba nginambitha ukudla loba okunye nje lingakatshoni ilanga.

Anante hanina osunege'za miko vahe'mo'za e'za Devitinkura ne'zana no hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi Deviti'a huvempage huno, Zagemo'ma uorami'nenke'na ne'zama nenugeno'a, Anumzamo'a nahe frigahie.

36 Kwathi bonke abantu bekunanzelela, kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo; njengakho konke eyakwenzayo inkosi, kwaba kuhle emehlweni abo bonke abantu.

Hagi miko vahe'mo'za anazama kini ne'mo'ma hiazama nege'za muse nehu'za, ko'ma hu'nea zanku'enena muse hu'naze.

37 Ngoba bonke abantu loIsrayeli wonke bazi ngalolosuku ukuthi kwakungeyisikho okwenkosi ukubulala uAbhineri indodana kaNeri.

Anama hige'za miko vahe'mo'za antahi ama nehu'za, Abna'ma fri'nea zamofona kini ne' Deviti'a antahino keno osu'ne hu'za hu'naze.

38 Inkosi yasisithi encekwini zayo: Kalazi yini ukuthi kuwe induna lomkhulu koIsrayeli lamuhla?

Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a eri'za vahe'aramina zamasamino, menina Israeli vahepima rankva vahe'ma fri'neana tamagra antahita keta osu'nazo?

39 Lami lamuhla ngibuthakathaka, njalo ngigcotshwe ngaba yinkosi; lalamadoda, amadodana kaZeruya, alukhuni kulami. INkosi izavuza umenzi wobubi njengobubi bakhe.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kini manio huno huhampri nante'neanagi, nagrira hanaveni'a omane'ne. Hagi ama Zeruia nemofo Joapu'ene Abisai'enena hanave nentake netre mani'na'ankina, nagra zanazeri rava hegara osu'noe. Hagi havi avu'ava hu'nemofona Ra Anumzamo azeri havizana hanie.
