2 Samuela 13
1 Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻia ʻApisalomi ko e foha ʻo Tevita, ʻae tuofefine naʻe hoihoifua, pea ko Tamaa ʻa hono hingoa; pea naʻe mamana kiate ia ʻa ʻAmanoni ko e foha ʻo Tevita.
Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi, u-Amnoni indodana kaDavida wathanda uThamari, owayemuhle, engudadewabo ka-Abhisalomu indodana kaDavida.
2 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene feinga mamahi ʻa ʻAmanoni, naʻa ne hoko ʻo mahakiʻia koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko Tamaa; he ko e tāupoʻou ia; pea ko e meʻa fifilingataʻa kia ʻAmanoni haʻane fai ha meʻa kiate ia.
U-Amnoni wabindeka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uThamari, ngoba wayeyintombi egcweleyo, njalo kwakukhanya kungeke kwenzeke ukuthi enze loba yini kuye.
3 Ka naʻe ai ʻae kaumeʻa ʻa ʻAmanoni, naʻe hingoa ko Sonatapi, ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e kāinga ʻo Tevita: pea ko e tangata kākā ʻaupito ʻa Sonatapi.
U-Amnoni wayelomngane wakhe owayethiwa nguJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida. UJehonadabi wayeliqili lendoda.
4 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e foha koe ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ho tutue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē? ʻIkai te ke tala mai kiate au?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻofa kia Tamaa, ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi ko hoku tokoua.”
Wabuza u-Amnoni wathi, “Kungani wena, ndodana yenkosi, ukhanya uhlobile nsuku zonke ekuseni? Awungeke ungitshele na?” U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Ngiyamthanda uThamari, udadewabo ka-Abhisalomu umfowethu.”
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatapi kiate ia, “Tokoto hifo koe ki ho mohenga, pea ke pehē ʻoku ke mahaki: pea ʻoka haʻu hoʻo tamai ke mamata kiate koe, te ke pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke haʻu ʻa hoku tuofefine ko Tamaa, ke ne ʻomi ʻeku meʻakai, pea ne teuteu ʻeku meʻakai ʻi hoku ʻao, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki ai, pea kai ia mei hono nima.’”
UJehonadabi wathi, “Hamba uyelala uzenze ogulayo. Lapho uyihlo ezekubona, wothi kuye, ‘Ngifuna udadewethu uThamari azenginika ulutho lokudla. Ukudla lokho kazekulungisela emehlweni ami, ukuze ngimkhangele ngikudle kuvela esandleni sakhe.’”
6 Ko ia naʻe tokoto ai ʻa ʻAmanoni, ʻo ne pehē kuo ne mahaki: pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke haʻu ʻa Tamaa ko hoku tuofefine, ke ne ngaohi ha foʻi mā ʻe ua ʻi hoku ʻao, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia mei hono nima.”
Ngakho u-Amnoni walala phansi wazenza ogulayo. Kwathi inkosi isifikile ukuzambona, u-Amnoni wathi kuyo, “Ngicela udadewethu uThamari azengenzela isinkwa khonapha ukuze ngidle ngisamukela esandleni sakhe.”
7 Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo Tamaa, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu leva ni ki he fale ʻo ʻAmanoni ko ho tuongaʻane, pea teuteu haʻane meʻakai.”
UDavida wathumela ilizwi kuThamari endlini yobukhosi esithi: “Hamba endlini yomnewenu u-Amnoni umlungisele ukudla.”
8 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tamaa ki he fale ʻo ʻAmanoni ko hono tuongaʻane; ka kuo tokoto hifo ia. Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae mahoaʻa, pea ne natu ia, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā ʻi hono ʻao, pea naʻa ne taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā.
Ngakho uThamari waya endlini kamnewabo u-Amnoni owayelele phansi. Wathatha inhlama wayivuba, wenza isinkwa khonapho.
9 Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai ha ipu ʻo ne lilingi ia ʻi hono ʻao: ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke kai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni, “Tuku kituʻa ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē meiate au.” Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kotoa pē kituʻa meiate ia.
Wasethatha ipane wamnika isinkwa, kodwa wala ukudla. U-Amnoni wasesithi, “Batshele baphume bonke abalapha.” Ngakho bonke baphuma bamtshiya.
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kia Tamaa, “ʻOmi ʻae meʻakai ki loto fale, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia mei ho nima.” Pea naʻe hiki ʻe Tamaa ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki loto fale kia ʻAmanoni ko hono tuongaʻane.
U-Amnoni wasesithi kuThamari, “Letha ukudla lapha endlini yami yokulala ukuze ungifunze ngesandla sakho.” UThamari wathatha isinkwa ayesilungisile wasisa kumnewabo u-Amnoni endlini yakhe yokulala.
11 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻomi ia kiate ia ke ne kai, naʻa ne puke ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Haʻu hoku tuofefine ke ta mohe mo au.”
Kodwa esefike laso kuye ukuba adle, wamxhakala wathi, “Woza ulale lami, dadewethu.”
12 Pea naʻa ne pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai, ʻa hoku tuongaʻane, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au; he ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke fai ha meʻa pehē ʻi ʻIsileli: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ʻae vale ni.
Yena wathi kuye, “Ungaqali, mnewethu! Ungangigebengi. Into enje akumelanga yenziwe ko-Israyeli! Ungenzi into le embi.
13 Pea ko au, te u tuku ke ʻalu ki fē ʻa hoku fakamā? Pea ko koe, te ke hangē koe ko ha taha ʻoe kau vale ʻi ʻIsileli. Ko ia foki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lea ki he tuʻi; he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi au meiate koe.”
Mina-ke? Ngingalisusela ngaphi ihlazo lami? Wena-ke? Angithi ungafana lesinye seziphukuphuku ezixhwalileyo ko-Israyeli. Ake ukhulume lenkosi, kayisoze ingalele ukwendela kuwe.”
14 Ka neongo eni naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ia ki heʻene lea: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi ʻiate ia, naʻa ne tohotohoʻi ia, pea mohe mo ia.
Kodwa u-Amnoni wala ukumlalela, kwathi njengoba wayelamandla kulaye, wamgebenga.
15 Pea hili ia naʻe fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate ia ʻa ʻAmanoni; ko ia naʻe lahi hake ai ʻae fehiʻa naʻa ne fehiʻa ʻaki kiate ia, ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofa ai kiate ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu.”
Emva kwalokho u-Amnoni wamzonda ngenzondo ebuhlungu kakhulu. Ngeqiniso wamzonda okudlula ukumthanda kwakhe. U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Vuka uphume!”
16 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hano ʻuhinga: ʻoku lahi hake ʻae kovi ni ʻo hoʻo fekauʻi au ke ʻalu, ʻi he meʻa ʻe taha kuo ke fai kiate au. Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fanongo ia kiate ia.”
Yena wathi, “Hatshi! Ukungixotsha kungaba yibubi obudlula lokhu osukwenze kimi.” Kodwa wala ukumlalela.
17 Pea naʻa ne toki ui ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻaia naʻe talifekau kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapusi atu leva ʻa e [fefine ]ni meiate au, pea songo ʻae matapā kiate ia.”
Wabiza inceku eyayiqondane laye wathi, “Susa umfazi lo lapha, ukhiye umnyango ngemva kwakhe.”
18 Pea naʻe fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kofu pulepule: he ko e anga ia ʻoe kofu naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāupoʻou. Pea hili ia naʻe ʻomi ia kituʻa ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea ne songo ʻae matapā kiate ia.
Ngakho inceku yakhe yamkhuphela phandle yakhiya umnyango. Wayegqoke isigqoko esasiceciswe kakuhle, ngoba lolu yilo uhlobo lwesigqoko esasigqokwa ngamadodakazi enkosi ayezintombi ezigcweleyo.
19 Pea naʻe pani ʻaki ʻe Tamaa ʻa hono ʻulu ʻae efuefu, pea naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono kofu pulepule ʻaia naʻa ne kofuʻaki, pea naʻa ne ʻai hono nima ki hono ʻulu, pea naʻa ne ʻalu pe mo tangi.
UThamari wazithela ngomlotha ekhanda wadabula isigqoko esicecisiweyo ayesigqokile. Wathwala imikhono ekhanda wasuka, wahamba ekhala kakhulu.
20 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi ko hono tuongaʻane kiate ia, “Kuo ala [koā ]ʻa ʻAmanoni ko ho tuongaʻane kiate koe? Ka ko eni ʻa hoku tuofefine ke ke longo pe; he ko ho tuongaʻane ia; ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga ki he meʻa ni.” Ko ia naʻe nofo mamahi pe ʻa Tamaa ʻi he fale ʻo hono tuongaʻane ko ʻApisalomi.
Umnewabo u-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “U-Amnoni lowo, umnewenu, kade elawe na? Zithulele dadewethu; ungumnewenu. Ungayibeki enhliziyweni yakho into le.” UThamari wahlala endlini kamnewabo u-Abhisalomu, engowesifazane ohlulukelweyo.
21 Ka ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe houhau ʻaupito ia.
Inkosi uDavida esekuzwile konke lokhu wathukuthela kakhulu.
22 Pea naʻe ʻikai ke moimoʻi lea ʻa ʻApisalomi ki hono tokoua ko ʻAmanoni ʻi he lelei pe ko e kovi: he naʻe fehiʻa ʻa ʻApisalomi kia ʻAmanoni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tohotohoʻi ʻa hono tuofefine.
U-Abhisalomu kazange atsho lizwi ku-Amnoni, elihle loba elibi; wamzonda u-Amnoni ngoba wayehlazise udadewabo uThamari.
23 Pea hili ʻae taʻu kātoa ʻe ua naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae kau tangata kosi sipi ʻi Peali-Hasoa, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki ʻIfalemi; pea naʻe talaki ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi.
Emva kweminyaka emibili, lapho abagundi bezimvu zika-Abhisalomu babeseBhali Hazori phansi komngcele wako-Efrayimi, wanxusa wonke amadodana enkosi ukuba aye khonale.
24 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻApisalomi ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai eni, kuo ʻi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata kosi sipi; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke meʻa ʻae tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu mo ho tamaioʻeiki.”
U-Abhisalomu waya enkosini wathi, “Inceku yakho abagundi bayo bafikile. Kambe inkosi lezikhulu zayo ingahamba lami na?”
25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi, “ʻE ʻikai, hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa tau ʻalu eni kotoa pē, telia naʻa mau fakamāfasia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne kole mālohi kiate ia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu mo ia, ka naʻa ne tāpuakiʻi ia.
Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Hatshi, ndodana yami. Akumelanga sonke sihambe; singaba ngumthwalo onzima kuwe.” Lanxa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, yala ukuhamba, kodwa yena yamvumela.
26 Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe ʻApisalomi, “Ka kuo ʻikai, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻAmanoni mo kimautolu.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ka ʻalu ai ia mo koe?”
U-Abhisalomu wasesithi, “Nxa kungenjalo, ake uvumele umfowethu u-Amnoni ahambe lathi.” Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kungani kumele ahambe lani?”
27 Ka naʻe kole fakamātoato ʻe ʻApisalomi, ke ne tuku ʻa ʻAmanoni pea mo e ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ke ʻalu mo ia.
Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, ngakho yavuma ukuba u-Amnoni ahambe laye kanye lamanye amadodana enkosi.
28 Ka ko eni, kuo ʻosi hono tala ʻe ʻApisalomi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Mou vakai ʻoka fiefia ʻae loto ʻo ʻAmanoni ʻi he uaine, pea kau ka pehē ʻeau kiate kimoutolu, Tāʻi ʻa ʻAmanoni; mou toki tāmateʻi ia, ʻoua naʻa manavahē; ʻikai kuo u fekau ʻeau kiate kimoutolu? Mou lototoʻa pea fai mālohi.”
U-Abhisalomu walaya abantu bakhe wathi, “Lalelani! Nxa u-Amnoni esethabe kakhulu ngenxa yokunatha iwayini ngingathi kini, ‘Mbulaleni u-Amnoni!’ limbulale. Lingesabi. Kangiliphanga umlayo lo na? Qinani libe lesibindi.”
29 Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApisalomi kia ʻAmanoni ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe taki taha heka ʻae tangata ki heʻene miuli pea hola.
Ngakho abantu baka-Abhisalomu benza ku-Amnoni lokho u-Abhisalomu ayebalaye khona. Lapho-ke wonke amadodana enkosi asuka, agada imbongolo zawo abaleka.
30 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻenau ʻi he hala, naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai toe ha tokotaha ʻokinautolu.”
Esesendleleni umbiko wafika kuDavida usithi, “U-Abhisalomu usewabulele wonke amadodana enkosi, akukho leyodwa eseleyo.”
31 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae tuʻi pea ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea ne tō hifo ki he funga kelekele; pea naʻe tutuʻu ofi ai ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē pea kuo haehae ʻa honau ngaahi kofu.
Inkosi yasukuma, yadabula izigqoko zayo yalala phansi emhlabathini; izinceku zayo zonke zema khonapho iziqgoko zazo sezizidabulile.
32 Pea ko Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita, naʻe tali ʻe ia ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe hoku ʻeiki kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau talavou kotoa pē ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi; he ko ʻAmanoni pe tokotaha kuo mate; he kuo fakapapau ʻae meʻa ni mei he ngutu ʻo ʻApisalomi talu mei he ʻaho naʻe tohotoho ai ʻa Tamaa ko hono tuofefine.
Kodwa uJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wathi, “Inkosi yami kayingacabangi ukuthi babulele wonke amakhosana, ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo. Le yinhloso ka-Abhisalomu ebivele ikhona kusukela mhla u-Amnoni egebenga udadewabo uThamari.
33 Ko ia foki ke ʻoua naʻa mamahi fau ʻae loto ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ke ne mahalo kuo mate ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi: he ko ʻAmanoni pe tokotaha kuo mate.”
Umhlekazi wami inkosi kayinganqineki ngombiko othi wonke amadodana enkosi afile. Ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo.”
34 Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe hanga hake ʻe he tangata talavou ʻaia naʻe nofo ke leʻo, pea ne sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he hala ʻi he tafaʻaki moʻunga ki mui ʻiate ia.
Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhisalomu wayesebalekile. Kwathi umuntu owayelinda wabona abantu abanengi emgwaqweni ngasentshonalanga, besehla eceleni lentaba. Umlindi lowo wahamba wayabikela inkosi wathi, “Ngibona abantu ngokuya eHoronayimi, eceleni kwentaba.”
35 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatapi ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
UJehonadabi wasesithi enkosini, “Khangela, amadodana enkosi asefikile; kwenzakale njengoba inceku yakho itshilo.”
36 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi leva ʻe ia ʻa ʻene lea, vakai, naʻe hoko mai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi pea naʻa nau hiki hake honau leʻo ʻo tangi: pea naʻe tangi lahi ʻaupito foki ʻae tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
Wathi eqeda ukukhuluma, amadodana enkosi angena ekhala kakhulu. Layo inkosi, kanye lezinceku zayo zonke bakhala kabuhlungu.
37 Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne ʻalu kia Talimei, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmihuti ko e tuʻi ʻo Kesuli. Pea naʻe loto mamahi [ʻa Tevita ]ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
U-Abhisalomu wabaleka waya kuThalimayi indodana ka-Amihudi inkosi yaseGeshuri. Kodwa Inkosi uDavida walilela indodana yakhe insuku zonke.
38 Ko ia, naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne ʻalu ki Kesuli, pea naʻa ne ʻi ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
Emva kokuba u-Abhisalomu esebaleke waya eGeshuri, wahlala khonale iminyaka emithathu.
39 Pea naʻe holi tuʻu pe ʻa Tevita ke ne ʻalu atu kia ʻApisalomi: he kuo fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻia ʻAmanoni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene pekia.
Umoya wenkosi wafisa ukuya ku-Abhisalomu, ngoba yayisiduduzekile ngokufa kuka-Amnoni.
