1 Amakhosi 2

¹Zase zisondela izinsuku zikaDavide zokufa kwakhe; wayala uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wathi:

²Mina ngihamba indlela yomhlaba wonke; khona-ke qina, uzibonakalise uyindoda;

³ugcine umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ezindleleni zakhe, ugcine izimiso zakhe, nemiyalo yakhe, nezahlulelo zakhe, nobufakazi bakhe, njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni kaMose, ukuze uphumelele kukho konke okwenzayo; futhi nomaphi lapho uphendukela khona;

⁴ukuze uJehova agcine izwi lakhe alikhuluma ngami ngokuthi: “Uma abantwana benu beqaphela indlela yabo, ukuhamba phambi kwami ngeqiniso ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo, aniyikuswela,” usho uJehova. Umuntu esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli.

⁵Futhi nawe uyakwazi lokho uJowabe indodana kaSeruya akwenza kimi, nalokho akwenza ezinduneni ezimbili zempi yakwa-Israyeli, ku-Abineri indodana kaNeri, naku-Amasa indodana kaJetheri, owabaholayo. Wayehlabile negazi lempi ngokuthula, wafaka igazi lempi ebhandeni lakhe elalisezinkalweni zakhe nasezicathulweni zakhe ezazisezinyaweni zakhe.

⁶Khona-ke yenza njengokuhlakanipha kwakho, futhi ungavumeli ikhanda lakhe elivuthayo lehlele endaweni yabafileyo ngokuthula.

⁷Kepha hawukela amadodana kaBarizilayi wakwaGileyadi, abe phakathi kwabadla etafuleni lakho; ngoba beza kanjalo kimi lapho ngibalekela umfowenu u-Abisalomu.

⁸Bheka, unawe uShimeyi indodana kaGera wakwaBenjamini waseBahurimi, owangithuka ngesiqalekiso esibi mhla ngiya eMahanayimi; kepha wehla ukungihlangabeza eJordani, ngafunga kuye uJehova, ngathi: ‘Angiyikukubulala ngenkemba.’

⁹Ungambheki njengomsulwa manje, ngokuba wena uyindoda ehlakaniphileyo, futhi uyakwazi okufanele ukwenze kuye; kodwa ikhanda lakhe elitshekile likwenza wehlele ethuneni negazi.

¹⁰UDavide wayeselala koyise, wembelwa emzini kaDavide.

¹¹Izinsuku uDavide abusa ngazo phezu kuka-Israyeli zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amane: iminyaka eyisikhombisa wabusa eHebroni, futhi iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu wabusa eJerusalema.

¹²USolomoni wayesehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikayise uDavide; umbuso wakhe waqiniswa kakhulu.

¹³U-Adoniya indodana kaHagiti wafika kuBati Sheba unina kaSolomoni. Wathi: “Uza ngokuthula na?” Wathi: “Ngokuthula.”

¹⁴Wathi futhi: Kukhona engifuna ukunitshela khona. Wasesithi: Hamba!

¹⁵Wathi: “Niyazi nina ukuthi umbuso wawungowami, nokuthi wonke u-Israyeli wabhekisa ubuso bakhe kimi ukuba ngibuse; kodwa umbuso waphenduka waba ngowomfowethu, ngoba wawuvela kuJehova.

¹⁶Manje ngicela isicelo esisodwa kuwe, ungangiphiki. Wathi kuye: “Khuluma.”

¹⁷Wathi: “Tshelani inkosi uSolomoni, ngokuba ayiyikula kini ukuba inginike u-Abishagi waseShunemi, abe ngumkami.”

¹⁸Wayesethi uBati Sheba: “Kuhle! ngizokukhulumela enkosini.

¹⁹UBhathisheba waya enkosini uSolomoni ukuze akhulume kuyo ngo-Adoniya. Inkosi yamphakamisa, yakhothama phambi kwakhe, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yabeka isihlalo sikanina wenkosi; wahlala ngakwesokunene sakhe.

²⁰Wathi: “Ngifuna isicelo esisodwa kuwe; Ngiyakuncenga, ungangitsheli ukuthi cha. Inkosi yathi kuye: “Cela, mama, ngokuba angiyikwala kuwe.”

²¹Wathi: “U-Abishagi waseShunemi makanikwe u-Adoniya umfowenu abe ngumkakho.”

²²Inkosi uSolomoni yasiphendula yathi kunina: Umcelelani u-Adoniya u-Abishagi waseShunemi na? mceleni nombuso; ngokuba ungumnewethu; naye, no-Abiyathara umpristi, noJowabe indodana kaSeruya.

²³Inkosi uSolomoni yasifunga uJehova, yathi: “UNkulunkulu makenze lokhu kimi, futhi kanjalo, uma u-Adoniya engakhulumanga leli zwi ngokumelene nomphefumulo wakhe.

²⁴Manje, kuphila kukaJehova ongiqinisileyo, wangihlalisa esihlalweni sobukhosi sikababa uDavide, wangenzela indlu njengokuthembisa kwakhe, namuhla u-Adoniya uyakubulawa.

²⁵Inkosi uSolomoni yasithuma ngesandla sikaBenaya indodana kaJehoyada; wawela phezu kwakhe wafa.

²⁶Umpristi uAbiyathara wathi enkosini: “Hamba uye e-Anathoti ensimini yakho; ngoba ufanelwe ukufa, kodwa kangiyikukubulala ngalesisikhathi, ngoba wawuthwele umtshokotsho weNkosi uJehova phambi kukaDavida ubaba, langoba wawucindezelwe kukho konke ubaba ayecindezelwe ngakho.

²⁷USolomoni wamxosha u-Abiyathara ngokuba engesiye umpristi kaJehova; ukuze agcwalise izwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngendlu ka-Eli eShilo.

²⁸Zase zifika umbiko kuJowabe, ngokuba uJowabe wamlandela u-Adoniya, nakuba engalandelanga u-Abisalomu. UJowabe wabalekela etendeni likaJehova, wathatha izimpondo ze-altare.

²⁹Inkosi uSolomoni yabikelwa ukuthi uJowabe ubalekele etendeni likaJehova; bheka, use-altare. USolomoni wayesethuma uBenaya, indodana kaJehoyada, ethi: “Hamba umhlasele.”

³⁰UBenaya wayesefika etendeni likaJehova, wathi kuye: “Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: Phuma. Waphendula wathi: Hatshi; kodwa ngizofela lapha. UBenaya wabuye wayibikela inkosi, wathi: “Usho kanje uJowabe, wangiphendula kanje.

³¹Inkosi yathi kuye: “Yenza lokho akushilo, umhlasele, ummbele; ukuze ususe kimi nasendlini kababa igazi elingenacala uJowabe alichithile.

³²UJehova uyakulibuyisela igazi lakhe ekhanda lakhe, elawela phezu kwabantu ababili ababelungile nabangcono kunaye, ababulala ngenkemba, ubaba uDavide engazi, u-Abineri indodana kaNeri; induna yempi yakwa-Israyeli, no-Amasa, indodana kaJetheri, induna yempi yakwaJuda.

³³Ngakho igazi labo lizabuyela ekhanda likaJowabi lekhanda lenzalo yakhe kuze kube nininini; kepha kuDavide, nasenzalweni yakhe, naphezu kwendlu yakhe, nasesihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi kuyakuba khona ukuthula okuvela kuJehova kuze kube phakade.

³⁴Khona-ke uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wakhuphuka wawela phezu kwakhe wambulala, futhi wembelwa endlini yakhe ehlane.

³⁵Inkosi yasibeka uBenaya indodana kaJehoyada ekamelweni lakhe phezu kwempi; uSadoki umpristi wamisa inkosi ekamelweni lika-Abiyathara.

³⁶Inkosi yasithuma yambiza uShimeyi, yathi kuye: Zakhele indlu eJerusalema, uhlale khona, ungasuki kuyo.

³⁷Ngokuba mhla uphuma, udabula umfudlana iKidroni, uyakwazi nokwazi ukuthi uyakufa nokufa; igazi lakho liyakuba phezu kwekhanda lakho.

³⁸USimeyi wasesithi enkosini: Lihle ilizwi; njengokutsho kwenkosi yami, inkosi, inceku yakho izakwenza njalo. USimeyi wahlala izinsuku eziningi eJerusalema.

³⁹Kwathi ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu izinceku ezimbili zikaSimeyi zabaleka zaya ku-Agisi indodana kaMaga inkosi yaseGati. Bamtshela uSimeyi, bathi: “Bheka, izinceku zakho ziseGati.”

⁴⁰USimeyi wayesesuka, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, waya eGati e-Agisi ukuyofuna izinceku zakhe; USimeyi wahamba walanda izinceku zakhe eGati.

⁴¹USolomoni watshelwa ukuthi uShimeyi waphuma eJerusalema waya eGati, wabuya.

⁴²Inkosi yasithuma yambiza uSimeyi, yathi kuye: “Angikufungisanga uJehova yini, ngakusola, ngathi: ‘Yazi nokwazi ngosuku ophuma ngalo, uye ezindaweni zonke, ukuthi uyakufa nokufa, na?’ wasesithi kimi: Ilizwi engilizwileyo lihle.

⁴³Pho, awusigcwalisanga ngani isifungo sikaJehova nomyalo engakuyala ngakho na?

⁴⁴Inkosi yasisithi kuSimeyi: Wena uyakwazi konke okubi inhliziyo yakho ekwaziyo, owakwenza kubaba uDavida; ngalokho uJehova uyakwehlisela ububi bakho phezu kwekhanda lakho;

⁴⁵Inkosi uSolomoni iyakubusiswa, nesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide siqiniswe phambi kukaJehova kuze kube phakade.

⁴⁶Inkosi uBenaya indodana kaJehoyada yakhipha umyalo; eyaphuma yawela phezu kwakhe, wafa. Umbuso waqiniswa esandleni sikaSolomoni.
