2 Samuela 2
1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE lelei ʻa ʻeku ʻalu hake ki ha taha ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta?” Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Te u ʻalu ki fē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ki Hepeloni.”
Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uDavida wabuza eNkosini esithi: Ngenyukele yini komunye wemizi yakoJuda? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Yenyuka. UDavida wasesithi: Ngiye ngaphi? Yasisithi: EHebroni.
2 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita ki ai, ko ia mo hono ongo uaifi foki, ko ʻAhinoami ko e [fefine ]Sesilili, mo ʻApikale naʻe mali mo Napale ko e [tangata ]Kameli.
Ngakho uDavida wenyukela lapho, kanye labafazi bakhe bobabili, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali umKharmeli.
3 Pea ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe ʻohake kinautolu ʻe Tevita, ko e tangata taki taha mo hono kaunga nofoʻanga: pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Hepeloni.
UDavida wasesenyusa abantu bakhe ababelaye, ngulowo lalowo labendlu yakhe; basebehlala emizini yeHebroni.
4 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata mei Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻi ai ʻa Tevita, ko e tuʻi ki he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta. Pea naʻa nau tala kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau tangata ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, ko kinautolu ia naʻe tanu ʻa Saula.
Kwasekufika abantu bakoJuda, bamgcoba khona uDavida waba yinkosi phezu kwendlu yakoJuda. Basebemtshela uDavida besithi: Abantu beJabeshi-Gileyadi yibo abangcwaba uSawuli.
5 Pea naʻe kouna ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talafekau ki he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke fakamonūʻia ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo mou fakahā ʻae ʻofa ni ki homou ʻeiki, ʻio, kia Saula, pea kuo mou fai hono putu.
UDavida wasethumela izithunywa ebantwini beJabeshi-Gileyadi, wathi kibo: Kalibusiswe yiNkosi, ngoba lenze lumusa enkosini yenu, kuSawuli, lamngcwaba.
6 Pea ʻofa ʻeni ke fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻae angalelei mo e moʻoni kiate kimoutolu: pea ko au foki, te u totongi ʻae ngāue lelei ni, koeʻuhi kuo mou fai ʻae meʻa ni.
Khathesi-ke, iNkosi kayilenzele umusa leqiniso; mina lami ngizalenzela lokhu okuhle, ngoba lenze loludaba.
7 Ko ia, tuku eni ke fakamālohi homou nima, pea mou lototoʻa: he kuo pekia ʻa homou ʻeiki ko Saula, pea kuo fakanofo au foki ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta ko e tuʻi kiate kinautolu.
Khathesi-ke kaziqine izandla zenu libe ngamadodana amaqhawe; ngoba inkosi yenu uSawuli ifile; njalo lendlu yakoJuda ingigcobile mina ukuba yinkosi phezu kwabo.
8 Ka naʻe ʻave ʻa Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, ʻe ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tau ʻa Saula, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Mehanemi;
Kodwa uAbhineri indodana kaNeri, induna yebutho uSawuli ayelalo, wathatha uIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, wamchaphisela eMahanayimi,
9 ʻO ne fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ʻi Kiliati, pea ki he kakai ʻAsilia, mo Sesilili, mo ʻIfalemi pea mo Penisimani, pea ki ʻIsileli kātoa.
wambeka waba yinkosi phezu kweGileyadi, laphezu kwamaAshuri, laphezu kweJizereyeli, laphezu kukaEfrayimi, laphezu kukaBhenjamini, laphezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
10 Naʻe fāngofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻa Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula ʻi heʻene kamata pule ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua. Ka naʻe muimui ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Siuta kia Tevita.
UIshiboshethi, indodana kaSawuli, wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane esiba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, wabusa iminyaka emibili. Kodwa indlu yakoJuda yalandela uDavida.
11 Pea ko e kuonga naʻe tuʻi ai ʻa Tevita ʻi Hepeloni ki he fale ʻo Siuta, ko e taʻu ia ʻe fitu mo e māhina ʻe ono.
Lenani lensuku uDavida owaba yinkosi ngazo eHebroni phezu kwendlu yakoJuda laliyiminyaka eyisikhombisa lenyanga eziyisithupha.
12 Pea naʻe ʻalu mei Mehanemi ki Kipione ʻa ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, pea mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula.
UAbhineri indodana kaNeri wasephuma, lenceku zikaIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, basuka eMahanayimi baya eGibeyoni.
13 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia, pea mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, pea naʻa nau fakataha ki he anovai ʻo Kipione: pea naʻa nau nofo hifo, ko e taha ki he potu anovai ʻe taha, pea ko e taha ki he potu anovai ʻe taha.
UJowabi indodana kaZeruya lenceku zikaDavida basebephuma bahlangana ndawonye echibini leGibeyoni; bahlala, abanye ngapha kwechibi labanye ngale kwechibi.
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApina kia Soape, “Tuku ke tuʻu hake ni ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakavā ʻi hota ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape, “Tuku ke nau tuʻu hake.”
UAbhineri wasesithi kuJowabi: Amajaha ake asukume adlale phambi kwethu. UJowabi wasesithi: Kawasukume.
15 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake mo ʻalu atu ʻae toko hongofulu ma ua mei Penisimani naʻe lau, ʻaia naʻe kau kia Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, mo e toko hongofulu ma ua mei he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita.
Kwasekusukuma kwedlula ngenani abalitshumi lambili koBhenjamini lakoIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, letshumi lambili lenceku zikaDavida.
16 Pea naʻa nau fepukeaki taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae ʻulu ʻo hono hoa, ʻonau taki taha fetuiʻaki ʻae heletā ʻakinautolu ʻi he vakavaka, pea ko ia, naʻa nau tō hifo fakataha ai; pea ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu ko ia, “Ko e potu ʻae kau tangata mālohi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipione.”
Basebebamba ngulowo lalowo ikhanda lomunye, wagwazangenkemba yakhe ehlangothini lomunye; ngokunjalo bawa ndawonye. Ngakho leyondawo bayibiza ngokuthi yiHelekati-Hasurimi eseGibeyoni.
17 Pea naʻe fakamanavahē ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe fakavaivai ʻa ʻApina, pea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻo Tevita.
Njalo kwaba lempi enzima kakhulu ngalolosuku, loAbhineri wehlulwa lamadoda akoIsrayeli phambi kwenceku zikaDavida.
18 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tama ʻe toko tolu ʻo Seluia, ko Soape, Mo ʻApisai, mo ʻAsaeli: pea naʻe veʻevave ʻa ʻAsaeli ʻo tatau mo e ʻanitelope hehengi ʻoe vao.
Ayekhona-ke lapho amadodana amathathu kaZeruya, oJowabi, loAbishayi loAsaheli. Njalo uAsaheli wayelesiqubu ezinyaweni njengomunye wemiziki yeganga.
19 Pea naʻe tuli ʻe ʻAsaeli kia ʻApina pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu naʻe ʻikai ke feafeʻaki ia ki he toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema ʻi heʻene tulia ʻa ʻApina.
UAsaheli wasexotshana loAbhineri; njalo ekuhambeni kwakhe kaphambukelanga ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo ekulandeleni uAbhineri.
20 Pea naʻe toki sio ki mui ʻa ʻApina, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ʻAsaeli koe?” Pea naʻa ne pehē atu, “Ko au.”
UAbhineri wasenyemukula, wathi: Nguwe uAsaheli yini? Wasesithi: Yimi.
21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApina kiate ia, “Ke ke foki atu ki he toʻomataʻu pe ki hoʻo toʻohema, pea ke puke ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, pea ke maʻu ʻa hono mahafu.” Ka naʻe ʻikai afe atu ʻa ʻAsaeli mei [heʻene ]tuli kiate ia.
UAbhineri wasesithi kuye: Phambukela wena ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo, uzibambele elinye lamajaha, uzithathele izikhali zalo. Kodwa uAsaheli kavumanga ukuphambuka ekumlandeleni.
22 Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe ʻApina kia ʻAsaeli, “Tafoki atu koe mei hoʻo tuli kiate au: koeʻumaʻā ʻa ʻeku tā hifo koe ki he kelekele? Pea ka pehē ʻe fēfē ʻeku hiki ʻa hoku mata kia Soape ko ho tokoua?
UAbhineri wasebuya futhi esithi kuAsaheli: Phambuka wena ekungilandeleni; ngizakutshayelelani emhlabathini? Pho, ngingaphakamisa njani ubuso bami kuJowabi umfowenu?
23 Ka neongo eni naʻe ʻikai te ne afe atu: ko ia naʻe hokaʻi ia ʻi hono kete ʻe ʻApina ʻaki ʻae mui ʻoe tao, pea naʻe ʻasi atu ʻae tao ʻi hono tuʻa: pea naʻa ne tō hifo ʻi ai, ʻo ne mate ʻi he potu ko ia: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻilonga ʻakinautolu naʻe hoko mai ki he potu naʻe tō hifo ai ʻa ʻAsaeli ʻo ne mate, naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ai.
Kodwa wala ukuphambuka; ngakho uAbhineri wamtshaya ngesidindi somkhonto kubambo lwesihlanu, umkhonto waze waphuma emuva kwakhe; wasewela phansi lapho, wafela kuleyondawo. Kwasekusithi bonke abafika endaweni lapho uAsaheli awela wafa khona, bema.
24 Naʻe tuli foki ʻa ʻApina ʻe Soape pea mo ʻApisai: pea naʻe tō ʻae laʻā feʻunga mo ʻena hoko ki he moʻunga ko ʻAma, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki Kia ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa ʻo Kipione.
UJowabi laye loAbishayi baxotshana loAbhineri; ilanga laselitshona, bona befika eqaqeni lweAma, olungaphambi kweGiya endleleni yenkangala yeGibeyoni.
25 Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻo Penisimani ke kau taha kia ʻApina, pea naʻa nau hoko ko e vāhenga tau pe taha, ʻonau tutuʻu ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha potu māʻolunga.
Abantwana bakoBhenjamini basebebuthana ngemva kukaAbhineri, baba lixuku linye, bema phezu koqaqa oluthile.
26 Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe ʻApina kia Soape, ʻo pehē, “ʻE tāmateʻi maʻuaipē ʻe he heletā? ʻIkai ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻe ai ha fakamamahi ʻi hono ikuʻanga?” Pea ka kuo pehē, “Pea ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻa hono fuoloa, kaeʻoua ke ke tala ki he kakai ke foki atu mei he tulia ʻa honau kāinga?”
UAbhineri wasememeza kuJowabi wathi: Inkemba izakudla njalonjalo yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi kuzakuba yikubaba ekucineni? Koze kube nini ungabatsheli abantu ukuthi babuye ekulandeleni abafowabo?
27 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soape, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻae ʻOtua, ka ne ʻikai te ke lea, pehē, kuo ʻalu ʻae kakai taki taha mei he muimui ki hono kāinga ʻi he ʻanepongipongi.”
UJowabi wasesithi: Kuphila kukaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kokuthi ubukhulumile, isibili ngalesosikhathi kusukela ekuseni abantu ngabe benyukile, ngulowo lalowo esuka ekulandeleni umfowabo.
28 Ko ia naʻe ifi ai ʻe Soape ha meʻalea, pea naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau kei tuli ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai toe fai ha tau.
UJowabi wasevuthela uphondo, bonke abantu basebesima, kababe besaxotshana loIsrayeli, futhi kababe besalwa njalo.
29 Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻApina pea mo ʻene kakai kotoa pē ʻi he pō kātoa ko ia, ʻi he toafa, ʻonau aʻa ʻi Sioatani, pea nau ʻosiki ʻa e [fonua ]kotoa pē ko Pitiloni, pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki Mehanemi.
UAbhineri labantu bakhe bahamba bedabula amagceke bonke lobobusuku, bachapha iJordani, badabula iBhithironi yonke, bafika eMahanayimi.
30 Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻa Soape mei heʻene tuli ʻa ʻApina; pea ʻi heʻene tānaki fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ko e toko hongofulu ma toko hiva ʻoe kau tangata ʻa Tevita naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa, pea mo ʻAsaeli.
UJowabi wasebuya ekulandeleni uAbhineri; esebuthanisile bonke abantu, encekwini zikaDavida kwasilela abalitshumi labayisificamunwemunye, loAsaheli.
31 Ka kuo ʻosi ʻae teʻia ke mate ʻe he kakai ʻo Tevita ʻae kau tangata mei Penisimani, mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻApina, ʻae toko tolungeau ma toko onongofulu.
Kodwa izinceku zikaDavida zazitshayile koBhenjamini lemadodeni akaAbhineri; amadoda angamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi ayisithupha afa.
32 Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻa ʻAsaeli, ʻonau tanu ia he fonualoto ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Petelihema. Pea naʻe fononga ʻa Soape mo ʻene kakai ʻi he pō kātoa, pea naʻa nau hoko ki Hepeloni ʻo feʻunga mo ʻene mafoa ʻae ata.
Basebemthatha uAsaheli, bamngcwaba engcwabeni likayise elaliseBhethelehema. UJowabi labantu bakhe basebehamba ubusuku bonke, kwasa beseHebroni.
