1 Pea ko ʻeni kuo motuʻa ʻa Tevita pea lahi ʻa hono taʻu; pea naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi kofu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne māfana ai.

Mgbe eze Devid ghọrọ agadi, nʼagbanyeghị na-eji ọtụtụ uwe kpuchie ya, ahụ ya ekpoghị ọkụ.

Ya mere, ndị na-ejere ya ozi sịrị ya, “Ka anyị chọtara eze otu nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, onye ga-akwụ nʼihu eze ma bụrụkwa onye ga-elekọta ya. O nwere ike idina nʼakụkụ onyenwe anyị bụ eze ime ka ahụ kpoo ya ọkụ.”

Ha gagharịrị nʼala Izrel niile chọọ nwaagbọghọ mara mma, chọta otu nwaagbọghọ onye Shunem, aha ya bụ Abishag, kpọtaara ya eze.

4 Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻae taʻahine, pea naʻa ne fai ʻofa ki he tuʻi, mo ne tauhi kiate ia: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe he tuʻi.

Nwaagbọghọ a mara mma nke ukwuu; ọ lekọtakwara eze, jekwaara ya ozi ma ya na eze enweghị mmekọ ọbụla.

5 Pea naʻe toki fai fakafiefielahi ʻe ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, ʻo ne pehē, Te u hoko au ko e tuʻi: pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi maʻana ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻi hono ʻao.

Nʼoge a, Adonaịja onye nne ya bụ Hagit, wepụtara onwe ya, kwuo sị, “Aga m abụ eze.” Nʼihi nke a, ọ kwadooro onwe ya ụgbọ agha na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya, kpọtakwa iri ndị ikom ise, ndị ga-agba ọsọ nʼihu ya.

Na ndụ Adonaịja niile, o nweghị oge nna ya baara ya mba site nʼịjụ ya, “Gịnị mere i ji akpa agwa dị otu a?” Ọ bụ nwokorobịa mara mma nke ukwuu; ọ bụ ya na-esotekwa nwanne ya Absalọm.

7 Pea naʻa ne alea mo Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa na muimui ʻia ʻAtunaisa ko hono tokoni.

Adonaịja na Joab, nwa Zeruaya tinyere Abịata onye nchụaja, kparịtara ụka. Ha kwenyere inyere ya aka ka ọ ghọọ eze.

8 Ka ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Simi, mo Lei, pea mo e kau tangata mālohi ʻaia naʻe ʻia Tevita, naʻe ʻikai kau [ʻakinautolu ]kia ʻAtunaisa.

Ma Zadọk onye nchụaja, Benaya nwa Jehoiada, Netan onye amụma, Shimei, Rei na ndị agha niile na-eche Devid nche esonyeghị Adonaịja.

9 Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga manu sino ʻe ʻAtunaisa ʻi he maka ko Soileti, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo Enilokeli, pea naʻa ne ui ki hono ngaahi tokoua ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi:

Adonaịja chịịrị atụrụ, ehi na ụmụ ehi gbara abụba, gaa nʼakụkụ En-Rogel chụọ aja na Nkume Zohelet. Ọ kpọrọ ụmụnne ya niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom eze na ndịisi Juda niile, ndị na-ejere eze ozi oku,

11 Ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Netane kia Patisepa ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai kuo ke fanongo kuo pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe hota ʻeiki ko Tevita?

Mgbe ahụ, Netan onye amụma jụrụ Batsheba nne Solomọn ajụjụ sị, “Ị nụghị na Adonaịja nwa Hagit aghọọla eze ugbu a, ma onyenwe anyị bụ Devid amaghị ihe ọbụla banyere ya?

Pea ka kuo pehē ko e hā kuo pule ai ʻa ʻAtunaisa?’”

Bakwuru eze Devid sị ya, ‘Onyenwe m bụ eze, ọ bụ na i kweghị m bụ ohu gị nkwa sị: “Nʼezie, Solomọn nwa gị ga-abụ eze nʼọnọdụ m, ọ ga-anọdụ nʼocheeze m”? Ma gịnị mere Adonaịja ji bụrụ eze?’

15 Pea naʻe hū atu ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ki hono potu fale: pea naʻe motuʻa ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi.

Batsheba bakwuuru eze nʼime ụlọ. Eze emeela nnọọ agadi nke ukwuu. Abishag onye Shunem nọkwa na-elekọta ya.

16 Pea naʻe punou ʻa Patisepa, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, Ko e hā ho loto?

Batsheba gburu ikpere nʼala, kpọọ isiala nye eze. Mgbe ahụ, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị na-achọ?”

Batsheba zara sị ya, “Onyenwe m, i jiri Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ṅụọrọ m iyi, kwee m nkwa sị na nwa m Solomọn ga-abụ eze, nọdụkwa nʼocheeze gị.

Mgbe Batsheba nọ na-akpanyere eze ụka, Netan onye amụma batara.

A gwara eze okwu sị, “Netan onye amụma nọ nʼebe a.” Ya mere, ọ gara nʼihu eze kpọọ isiala nye ya.

Mgbe ahụ, Devid kwuru okwu sị, “Kpọọrọnụ m Batsheba.” Batsheba batara, guzo nʼihu eze.

31 Pea naʻe toki punou ʻa Patisepa mo hono mata ki he kelekele, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOfa ke moʻui ʻa Tevita ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo taʻengata.”

Mgbe ahụ, Batsheba kpọrọ isiala, gbukwaa ikpere nʼihu eze sị ya, “Ka onyenwe m eze Devid dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”

32 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita, Ui mai ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata. Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.

Mgbe ahụ, Devid nyere iwu sị, “Kpọọrọ m Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Netan onye amụma, na Benaya, nwa Jehoiada.” Mgbe ha niile bịara nʼihu eze,

33 Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave mo kimoutolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa homou ʻeiki, pea fakaheka ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha ki heʻeku miuli ʻaʻaku, pea ʻohifo ia ki Kihoni:
