Ahitofele anati kwa Abisalomu, “Mundilole ndisankhe asilikali 12,000, ndinyamuke usiku womwe uno kuti ndithamangire Davide.
2 Uye ndichamurwisa achakaneta uye asina simba. Ndichamutyisidzira, uye ipapo vanhu vose vaanavo vachatiza. Ndichauraya mambo chete.
Ndipo ndikamuthira nkhondo atatopa ndiponso atataya mtima. Ndikamuchititsa mantha ndipo anthu onse amene ali naye akathawa. Ine ndikakantha mfumu yokhayo,
3 Ndichadzosera vanhu vose kwamuri. Kufa kwomunhu wamunotsvaka kuchareva kudzoka kwavose; ipapo vanhu vose vachava norugare.”
ndipo anthu onse ndidzabwera nawo kwa inu, ngati mkwati amene akubwerera kwa mwamuna wake. Imfa ya munthu mmodzi yekha idzakhalitsa anthu onse pa mtendere.”
4 Shoko iri rakafadza Abhusaromu navakuru vose veIsraeri.
Malangizo awa anaoneka abwino kwa Abisalomu ndi kwa akuluakulu onse a Israeli.
5 Asi Abhusaromu akati, “Danaiwo Hushai muAriki, kuti tigonzwa kuti anoti kudii.”
Koma Abisalomu anati, “Muyitanenso Husai Mwariki kuti timve zimene iye adzanena.”
6 Hushai akati asvika kwaari, Abhusaromu akati, “Ahitoferi apa zano iri. Toita zvaareva here? Kana zvisizvo, tipewo pfungwa yako.”
Husai atabwera kwa iye, Abisalomu anati, “Ahitofele wapereka malangizo ake. Kodi tichite zimene wanena? Ngati sichoncho, tiwuze maganizo ako.”
7 Hushai akapindura Abhusaromu akati, “Zano ramapiwa naAhitoferi harina kunaka panguva ino.
Husai anayankha Abisalomu kuti, “Malangizo amene Ahitofele wapereka si abwino pa nthawi ino.
8 Munoziva baba venyu navanhu vavo; varwi, uye vanotyisa kunge bere rabvutirwa vana varo. Pamusoro pezvo, baba venyu murwi ano ruzivo; havangavati namauto usiku.
Inu mukudziwa bwino abambo anu ali ndi ankhondo awo. Iwo ndi anthu ankhondo komanso ndi woopsa ngati chimbalangondo chimene chalandidwa ana ake. Kuwonjezera apa abambo anu ndi katswiri wa nkhondo. Iwo sanagone pamodzi ndi asilikali awo.
9 Kunyange izvozvi vakavanda mubako kana pane imwe nzvimbo. Kana vakatanga kurwa navarwi venyu, ani naani anonzwa nezvazvo achati, ‘Pakati pavarwi vanotevera Abhusaromu paurayiwa vanhu.’
Onani, ngakhale tsopano lino abisala mʼphanga lina ku malo ena ake. Ngati iwo atayamba kuthira nkhondo asilikali anu, aliyense amene adzamve zimenezi adzati, ‘Gulu lalikulu lankhondo lotsatira Abisalomu laphedwa.’
10 Ipapo kunyange murwi akashinga kwazvo, ane mwoyo wakaita soweshumba, achati rukutu nokutya, nokuti vaIsraeri vose vanoziva kuti baba venyu murwi uye kuti vose vavanavo vakashinga.
Tsono ngakhale msilikali wolimba mtima kwambiri, amene mtima wake uli ngati wa mkango, adzagwidwa ndi mantha aakulu pakuti Aisraeli akudziwa kuti abambo anu ndi ankhondo ndipo kuti iwo amene ali nawo ndi anthu olimba mtima.
11 “Saka zano rangu nderiri: VaIsraeri vose, kubva kuDhani kusvikira kuBheerishebha, vakawanda sejecha rokumhenderekedzo dzegungwa, ngavaungane kwamuri, iyemi pachenyu muchivatungamirira kundorwa.
“Kotero ine ndikukulangizani kuti: Aisraeli onse, kuchokera ku Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba; ochuluka ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja, asonkhane kwa inu ndipo muwatsogolera kupita ku nkhondo.
12 Ipapo tichavarwisa kwose kwavanenge vari, uye tichawira paari sedova rinowira pasi. Hakuna kana mumwe wavo zvake achasara ari mupenyu.
Ndipo ife tidzapita kukamuthira nkhondo kulikonse kumene tikamupeze, ndipo ife tikamuthira nkhondo ngati mame pa nthaka. Palibe amene adzakhale wamoyo kaya iye kapena ankhondo ake.
13 Kana akadzokera muguta, ipapo vaIsraeri vose vachauya namabote kuguta iroro, uye ticharizvuzvurudzira pasi kumupata kusvikira pasisina kunyange nechimedu charo chingawanikwa.”
Iye akakathawira mu mzinda, Aisraeli onse adzabweretsa zingwe ku mzindawo, ndipo ife tidzawugwetsera ku chigwa mpaka sipadzapezeka ngakhale kachidutswa.”
14 Abhusaromu navarume vose veIsraeri vakati, “Zano raHushai muAriki riri nani pane raAhitoferi.” Nokuti Jehovha aida kukonesa zano rakanaka raAhitoferi kuitira kuti auyise njodzi pamusoro paAbhusaromu.
Abisalomu ndi ankhondo ena onse a Israeli anati, “Malangizo a Husai Mwariki ndi abwino kuposa a Ahitofele.” Pakuti Yehova anatsimikiza kutsutsa malangizo onse abwino a Ahitofele ndi cholinga choti zimuvute Abisalomu.
15 Ipapo Hushai akati kuna Zadhoki naAbhiatari, vaprista, “Ahitoferi arayira Abhusaromu navakuru veIsraeri kuti vaite ichi nechocho.
Husai anawuza ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara kuti, “Ahitofele analangiza Abisalomu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli zakuti, koma ine ndawalangiza kuchita zakutizakuti.
16 Zvino chituma shoko nokukurumidza uye uudze Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Musavata pamazambuko omurenje usiku huno; yambukai musamborega, nokuti mambo navanhu vose vaanavo vangamedzwa.’”
Tsopano tumizani wamthenga msangamsanga kuti akamuwuze Davide kuti, ‘Musakagone powolokera Yorodani ku chipululu koma mukawoloke. Mukapanda kutero, mfumu ndi anthu onse amene ali naye adzaphedwa.’”
17 Jonatani naAhimaazi vakanga vachigara paEni Rogeri uye mumwe murandakadzi ndiye aifanira kundovazivisa, uye ivo vachienda kundoudza Mambo Dhavhidhi, nokuti havazaifanira kuonekwa vachipinda muguta.

Koma mnyamata wina anawaona ndipo anakawuza Abisalomu. Kotero anthu awiriwo anachoka mofulumira ndipo anapita ku nyumba ya munthu wina ku Bahurimu. Iye anali ndi chitsime ku mpanda kwake ndipo iwo analowamo.
19 Mukadzi wake akatora chifukidzo akachiwaridza pamusoro pomuromo wetsime uye akayanika zviyo pamusoro pacho. Hakuna akaziva chinhu pamusoro pazvo.
Mkazi wake anatenga chophimba ndipo anachiyika pamwamba pa chitsimecho nawazapo tirigu. Palibe amene anadziwa chilichonse za izi.
20 Varume vokwaAbhusaromu vakati vasvika kumukadzi akanga ari pamba, vakabvunza vakati, “VanaAhimaazi naJonatani varipi?” Mukadzi akati kwavari, “Vayambuka rukova.” Varume vakatsvaka asi havana munhu wavakawana, saka vakadzokera kuJerusarema.
Anthu a Abisalomu atafika kwa mkaziyo pa nyumbapo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Ahimaazi ndi Yonatani ali kuti?” Mkaziyo anawayankha kuti, “Awoloka mtsinje.” Anthuwo anafunafuna koma sanapeze munthu, kotero anabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
21 Shure kwokunge varume ava vaenda, vaviri vaya vakakwira vakabuda mutsime uye vakaenda kundozivisa Mambo Dhavhidhi izvozvo. Vakati kwaari, “Simukai izvozvi muyambuke rwizi urwu; Ahitoferi apa zano rokuti nerokuti pamusoro penyu.”
Anthu aja atapita, awiriwo anatuluka mʼchitsimemo ndipo anapita kukawuza mfumu Davide nati kwa iye, “Nyamukani, muwoloke mtsinje msangamsanga. Ahitofele wapereka malangizo akutiakuti kutsutsana nanu.”
22 Saka Dhavhidhi navanhu vose vakanga vanaye vakasimuka vakayambuka Jorodhani. Kuchiedza, hapana akanga asara asati ayambuka Jorodhani.
Kotero Davide ndi anthu onse amene anali nawo ananyamuka ndi kuwoloka Yorodani. Pofika mmamawa, panalibe munthu amene anatsala asanawoloke Yorodani!
23 Ahitoferi akati aona kuti zano rake rakanga risina kutevedzwa, akaisa chigaro pambongoro yake akaenda kumba kwake muguta rokwake. Akaronga zvose zveimba yake ndokubva azvisungirira. Saka akafa uye akavigwa muhwiro rababa vake.
