2 Samuela 4
1 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he foha ʻo Saula kuo mate ʻa ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni, naʻe vaivai ai hono nima, pea naʻe puputuʻu ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē.
Lapho isizwile indodana kaSawuli ukuthi uAbhineri ufele eHebroni, izandla zakhe zaba buthakathaka, loIsrayeli wonke wakhathazeka.
2 Pea naʻe ʻi he foha ʻo Saula ʻae ongo tangata naʻe pule ki he matanga tau; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Paʻana, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Lekapi, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ʻi he kakai Piheloti, ʻi he fānau ʻa Penisimani: (he naʻe lau fakataha ʻa Piheloti mo Penisimani:
Njalo indodana kaSawuli yayilamadoda amabili ayeyizinduna zamaviyo; ibizo lenye lalinguBahana, lebizo lenye linguRekabi, amadodana kaRimoni, umBherothi, wabantwana bakoBhenjamini. Ngoba iBherothi layo yayibalelwa koBhenjamini;
3 Pea naʻe hola ʻae kakai Piheloti ki Kiteimi, pea naʻa nau ʻāunofo ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.)
lamaBherothi abalekela eGithayimi, aba ngabahlali njengabezizwe khona kuze kube lamuhla.
4 Pea naʻe ʻia Sonatane, ko e foha ʻo Saula, ʻae foha naʻe ketu. Naʻe nima taʻu ia ʻi he hā mai ʻae ongoongo ʻia Saula mo Sonatane mei Sesilili, pea naʻe toʻo hake ia ʻe he fefine naʻe tauhi kiate ia, ʻo ne hola: pea pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke hola, naʻa ne hinga ʻo ne ketu ai. Pea ko hono hingoa ko Mifiposeti.
UJonathani indodana kaSawuli wayelendodana eyayiyisilima enyaweni. Yayileminyaka emihlanu ekufikeni kombiko ngoSawuli loJonathani uvela eJizereyeli; lomlizane wayo wayithatha, wabaleka; kwasekusithi ekuphangiseni kwakhe ukubaleka, yawa yaba yisilima. Lebizo layo lalinguMefiboshethi.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ko Lekapi mo Paʻana, ʻo na omi ki he fale ʻo Isiposeti ʻo feʻunga mo e pupuha ʻoe ʻaho, pea naʻe tokoto ia ʻi ha mohenga ʻi he hoʻatā.
Lamadodana kaRimoni, umBherothi, uRekabi loBahana, ahamba, ekutshiseni kwelanga afika endlini kaIshiboshethi, owayelele embhedeni emini enkulu.
6 Pea naʻa na hū atu ki loto fale, ʻo hangē te na fai ke fetuku ha uite pea naʻa na hokaʻi ia ʻi hono fatafata pea naʻe hola ʻo hao ʻa Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua.
Bona bangena endlini phakathi kungathi bathatha ingqoloyi, bamtshaya kubambo lwesihlanu; uRekabi loBahana umfowabo basebebaleka.
7 He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻena hū atu ki fale, naʻa ne tokoto ki hono mohenga ʻi hono loki, pea naʻa na tali ia, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo na tutuʻu hono ʻulu, ʻo na ʻave hono ʻulu, pea naʻa na hola ʻi he toafa ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia.
Ngoba bengena endlini, wayelele embhedeni wakhe endlini yakhe yokulala, bamtshaya, bambulala, bamquma ikhanda; bathatha ikhanda lakhe, bahamba ngendlela yamagceke ubusuku bonke.
8 Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻo na pehē ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ko e ʻulu eni ʻo Isiposeti ko e foha ʻo Saula, ko ho fili, ʻaia naʻe kumi ki hoʻo moʻui; pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae totongi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻia Saula, pea mo hono hako.”
Basebelisa ikhanda likaIshiboshethi kuDavida eHebroni. Bathi enkosini: Khangela, ikhanda likaIshiboshethi indodana kaSawuli, isitha sakho ebesidinga impilo yakho; iNkosi inike impindiselo lamuhla enkosini yami, inkosi, kuSawuli lakuyo inzalo yakhe.
9 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Tevita kia Lekapi mo Paʻana ko hono tokoua, ko e ongo foha ʻo Limoni ko e tangata Piheloti, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne huhuʻi hoku laumālie mei he kovi kotoa pē,
Kodwa uDavida wabaphendula uRekabi loBahana umfowabo, amadodana kaRimoni umBherothi, wathi kubo: Kuphila kukaJehova, ohlenge umphefumulo wami kuyo yonke inhlupheko,
10 ʻI hono fakahā mai ʻe he tokotaha kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, kuo pekia ʻa Saula,’ ko ʻene pehē ko e ongoongolelei kuo ne ʻomi, naʻaku puke ia, pea u tāmateʻi ia ʻi Sikilaki, ka naʻa ne mahalo te u ʻatu ha totongi lelei koeʻuhi ko ʻene ongoongo:
lapho owangibikelayo esithi: Khangela, uSawuli ufile; njalo enjengomthwali wendaba ezinhle emehlweni akhe, ngamxhakalaza, ngambulala eZikilagi, kulokuthi ngimvuzele indaba ezinhle.
11 Kae huanoa eni, ʻi he tāmateʻi ʻe he kau tangata kovi ha tokotaha taʻehalaia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, pea ʻi hono mohenga! ʻIkai eni te u ʻeke ʻa hono toto mei homo nima, pea ʻave ʻakimoua mei he funga kelekele.”
Pho kangakanani, lapho abantu ababi bebulele umuntu olungileyo endlini yakhe esembhedeni wakhe; ngakho-ke angiyikubiza yini igazi lakhe esandleni senu, ngilisuse emhlabeni?
12 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ki heʻene kau talavou, pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinaua, pea naʻe tutuʻu hona nima, pea mo hona vaʻe pea naʻe tautau ai ʻi he funga anovai ʻi Hepeloni. Ka naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ʻulu ʻo Isiposeti, ʻo tanu ia ʻi he faʻitoka ʻo ʻApina ʻi Hepeloni.
UDavida waselaya amajaha, ababulala, aquma izandla zabo lenyawo zabo, abaphanyeka echibini leHebroni. Kodwa athatha ikhanda likaIshiboshethi, alingcwaba engcwabeni likaAbhineri eHebroni.
