2 Samuweli 18

¹UDavide wayesebala amadoda ayenaye, wabeka phezu kwawo izinduna zezinkulungwane nezinduna zamakhulu.

²UDavide wathuma ingxenye yesithathu yabantu phansi kwesandla sikaJowabe, nengxenye yesithathu ngaphansi kwesandla sika-Abishayi indodana kaSeruya, umfowabo kaJowabe, nengxenye yesithathu ngaphansi kwesandla sika-Ithayi umGiti. Inkosi yasisithi ebantwini: Mina ngizaphuma lami lami.

³Kodwa abantu baphendula bathi: Ungaphumi, ngoba uba sibaleka, kabayikusinakekela; futhi uma kufa ingxenye yethu, bayosinakekela; kepha manje nilingana nezinkulungwane eziyishumi zethu; ngakho-ke kungcono manje ukuthi usikhiphe emzini.

⁴Inkosi yasisithi kubo: Ngizakwenza lokho elikubona kuhle. Inkosi yema esangweni, bonke abantu baphuma ngamakhulu nangezinkulungwane.

⁵Inkosi yabayala oJowabe no-Abishayi no-Ithayi, yathi: “Yibani mnene nensizwa ku-Abisalomu.” Bonke abantu bezwa lapho inkosi iyala zonke izikhulu ngo-Abisalomu.

⁶Amadoda aphuma aya endle ukulwa no-Israyeli; ukulwa kwaba sehlathini lakwa-Efrayimi;

⁷Lapho abantu bakwa-Israyeli babulawa phambi kwezinceku zikaDavide, kwaba khona ukubulawa okukhulu kwamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili ngalolo suku.

⁸Ngokuba impi yahlakazeka ezweni lonke, nehlathi ladla abantu abaningi ngalolo suku kunabadliwa yinkemba.

⁹U-Abisalomu wahlangana nezinceku zikaDavide. U-Abisalomu wayegibele umnyuzi, umnyuzi wangena ngaphansi kwegatsha eliwugqinsi lomuthi wesopiloni, ikhanda lakhe labamba isihlahla sobululu, waphakanyiselwa phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba; umnyuzi owawungaphansi kwakhe wahamba.

¹⁰Umuntu othile wakubona lokho wamtshela uJowabe wathi: “Bheka, ngibone u-Abisalomu elenga esihlahleni se-oki.

¹¹UJowabe wayesethi endodeni emtshelayo: “Bheka, umbonile; awumshayanga ngani phansi lapho na? bengiyakukunika amashekeli ayishumi esiliva nebhande.

¹²Wayesethi lowo muntu kuJowabe: “Noma ngathola esandleni sami amashekeli ayinkulungwane esiliva, bengingeke ngiphakamise isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngokuba inkosi yayala wena no-Abishayi no-Ithayi phambi kwezindlebe zethu, yathi: “Dlulani! akekho othinta insizwa u-Absalomu.

¹³Uma kungenjalo, ngabe ngenze amanga ngempilo yami, ngokuba akukho lutho olufihlekile enkosini, ubuyakungivukela.

¹⁴UJowabe wasesithi: Kangiyikuhlala lawe kanje. Wathatha imicibisholo emithathu esandleni sakhe, wayigwaza enhliziyweni ka-Abisalomu esaphila esihlahleni sokhuni.

¹⁵Izinsizwa eziyishumi ezazimbethe izikhali zikaJowabe zamzungeza, zamshaya u-Abisalomu, zambulala.

¹⁶UJowabe wabetha icilongo, abantu babuya emva kuka-Israyeli, ngokuba uJowabe wabavimba abantu.

¹⁷Bamthatha u-Abisalomu, bamphonsa emgodini omkhulu ehlathini, babeka phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu kakhulu yamatshe; wonke u-Israyeli wabaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya etendeni lakhe.

¹⁸U-Abisalomu wathatha insika esaphila, wazimisela yona esigodini senkosi; ngoba wathi: Kangilandodana yokukhumbula ibizo lami; wabiza insika ngegama lakhe; khala kuze kube namuhla, indawo ka-Abisalomu.

¹⁹U-Ahimaewu indodana kaSadoki wayesethi: “Mangigijime, ngitshele inkosi ukuthi uJehova umphindisele ezitheni zakhe.”

²⁰UJowabe wasesithi kuye: Kawuyikuletha umbiko lamuhla, kodwa uzaletha ilizwi ngolunye usuku; kodwa namuhla aniyikuletha zwi, ngokuba indodana yenkosi ifile.

²¹UJowabe wasesithi kuKushi: Hamba uyetshela inkosi okubonileyo. UmKushi wakhothama phambi kukaJowabe, wagijima.

²²U-Ahimayewu indodana kaSadoki wabuye wathi kuJowabe: “Kepha nami mangigijime ngilandele umKushi.” Wayesethi uJowabe: “Ugijimelani, ndodana yami, lokhu ungazi na?

²³Kodwa noma kunjalo, wathi, ake ngigijime. Wathi kuye: “Gijima.” Khona-ke u-Ahimaäs wagijima wehla ngomgwaqo esuka ethafeni futhi wamfica uKusi.

²⁴UDavide wahlala phansi phakathi kwamasango omabili, umlindi wakhwela ophahleni lwesango odongeni, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabheka, nanko umuntu egijima yedwa.

²⁵Umlindi wamemeza watshela inkosi. Inkosi yasisithi: Lapho eyedwa, ulolizwi emlonyeni wakhe. Futhi washesha wasondela.

²⁶Umlindi wabona enye indoda igijima; umlindi wabiza umlindisango, wathi: “Bheka, nanso indoda igijima iyodwa.” Yathi inkosi: “Naye uletha izindaba.”

²⁷Umlindi wasesithi: Ngibona ukuthi ukugijima kowokuqala kunjengokugijima kukaAhimayosi indodana kaSadoki. Inkosi yasisithi: Ungumuntu olungileyo, njalo uza lezindaba ezinhle.

²⁸U-Ahimayo wamemeza wathi enkosini: “Kulungile; Wawa ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini phambi kwenkosi, wathi: “Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owakhulula abantu abaphakamisela isandla sabo enkosini yami, inkosi.

²⁹Inkosi yathi: “Ingabe insizwa u-Abisalomu iphephile na?” U-Ahimaewu wathi: “Lapho uJowabe ethuma inceku yenkosi kanye nami, inceku yakho, ngabona isiyaluyalu esikhulu, kodwa angazi ukuthi kuyini.

³⁰Inkosi yathi kuye: “Suka ume lapha.” Wasuka wema.

³¹Bheka, kwafika uKusi; uKushi wathi: “Thumela, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngokuba uJehova ukuphindisele namuhla kubo bonke abakuvukelayo.

³²Inkosi yathi kuKushi: “Ingabe insizwa u-Abisalomu iphephile na?” UKusi waphendula wathi: “Izitha zenkosi yami, inkosi, nabo bonke abakuvukelayo ukukulimaza, makube njengaleyo nsizwa;

³³Inkosi yathukuthela kakhulu, yakhuphukela ekamelweni elibhekene nesango, yakhala; wahamba, wathi: “Ndodana yami Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami Abisalomu! Sengathi ngafela wena, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!
