EyesiBini kaSamuweli Chapter15
1 Kwathi emveni koko, uAbhisalom wazilungisela iinqwelo zokulwa, namahashe, namadoda angamashumi amahlanu ukuba abe zizigidimi phambi kwakhe.
2 UAbhisalom wavuka kusasa, wema ngasecaleni lendlela yesango. Ubesakuthi, bonke abantu abanembambano yokuba kuyiwe kukumkani ngayo, ukuba ayigwebe, ababizele kuye uAbhisalom, abuze athi, Ungowawuphi na umzi? athi umntu lowo, Ungowezizwe zakwaSirayeli umkhonzi wakho.
3 Ubesakuthi ke uAbhisalom kuye, Yabona, iindawo zakho ezi zilungile, zithe tse; koko akunamntu wokuzithetha kukumkani;
4 athi uAbhisalom, Andaba bendimisiwe ndaba ngumgwebi ezweni apha, beze kum bonke abantu abanendawo ekubanjwene ngayo; ngendibalungisa!
5 Ubesithi, akusondela umntu eza kuqubuda kuye, asuke amnike isandla sakhe, ambambe, amange.
6 Wenza ke uAbhisalom ngendawo enjalo kumaSirayeli onke, abesiza kukumkani ekugwebeni. Waziba uAbhisalom iintliziyo zamadoda akwaSirayeli.
7 Kwathi, ekupheleni kweminyaka emashumi mane, wathi uAbhisalom kukumkani, Makhe ndiye ndisizalise isibhambathiso, endabhambathisa ngaso kuYehova eHebron;
8 ngokuba umkhonzi wakho wabhambathisa ngesibhambathiso ekuhlaleni kwakhe eGeshuri kwa-Aram, esithi, Ukuba uYehova uthe wandibuyisela ngenene eYerusalem, ndomkhonza uYehova.
9 Wathi ukumkani kuye, Hamba uxolile. Wesuka ke, waya eHebron.
10 UAbhisalom wathumela iintlola ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, esithi, Nakuliva izwi lesigodlo, yithini, UAbhisalom ungukumkani eHebron.
11 Kwaphuma eYerusalem, kwahamba noAbhisalom, amakhulu amabini amadoda amenyiweyo; ayehamba eyeke umzimba, engazi nto.
12 UAbhisalom wathumela, wabiza uAhitofele waseGilo, umphakathi kaDavide, emzini wakhe eGilo, ebingelela imibingelelo. Laba namandla elo yelenqe; kuba abantu baya besanda kuAbhisalom.
13 Kwafika umntu, wamxelela uDavide, esithi, Iintliziyo zamadoda akwaSirayeli zilandele uAbhisalom.
14 Wathi uDavide kubakhonzi bakhe bonke abenabo eYerusalem, Sukani sibaleke; ngokuba asiyi kuba nakusinda ebusweni buka-Abhisalom. Khawulezani simke, hleze akhawuleze, asifikele, asihlisele ububi, awuxabele umzi ngohlangothi lwekrele.
15 Bathi abakhonzi bokumkani kukumkani, Entweni yonke, eya kuyinyula inkosi yethu ukumkani, naba bekho abakhonzi bakho.
16 Waphuma ukumkani, indlu yakhe yonke imlandela. Ukumkani washiya ishumi lamashweshwe, ukuze ayigcine indlu.
17 Waphuma ke ukumkani, bemlandela abantu bonke; bema eBhete-meraki;
18 bonke abakhonzi bakhe behamba ecaleni lakhe, nabancinithi bonke, nezigidimi zonke, nabaseGati bonke:amakhulu amathandathu amadoda, awaye emlandela evela eGati, agqitha phambi kokumkani.
19 Wathi ukumkani kuItayi waseGati, Yini na ukuba nawe uhambe nathi? Buya, uhlale nokumkani; ngokuba ungowasemzini, ungumfiki, buyela endaweni yakho;
20 ungathi, ufike izolo eli, ndikubhadulise nanamhla, ndikuhambise nathi na, ndisiya apho ndingaya khona nje? Buya, ubuyise abazalwana bakho; inceba nenyaniso ibe nawe.
21 UItayi wamphendula ukumkani, wathi, Ehleli nje uYehova, ihleli nje inkosi yam ukumkani, inene, endaweni eya kuba kuyo inkosi yam ukumkani, nokuba kusekufeni, nokuba kusebomini, uya kuba lapho umkhonzi wakho.
22 Wathi uDavide kuItayi, Hamba ugqithe ke. Wagqitha uItayi namadoda akhe onke, nosapho lonke abenalo.
23 Lonke ilizwe laye lilila ngezwi elikhulu, bewela abantu bonke; ewela nokumkani emlanjaneni oyiKidron; abantu bonke bewela bekhangelene nendlela yentlango.
24 Nanko, uTsadoki nabaLevi bonke benaye, bethwele ityeya yomnqophiso kaThixo, bayibeka phantsi ityeya kaThixo. Wenyuka uAbhiyatare, bada bagqibelela bonke abantu ukuwela, bephuma kuwo umzi.
25 Wathi ukumkani kuTsadoki, Yibuyisele kuwo umzi ityeya kaThixo. Ukuba ndithe ndababalwa nguYehova, wondibuyisa, andibonise yona kwanekhaya lakhe.
26 Ukuba uthe, Andikunanzile; nanku ndikho, makenze kum ngoko kulungileyo emehlweni akhe.
27 Wathi ukumkani kuTsadoki umbingeleli, Wena mboni, buyela kuwo umzi unoxolo, noAhimahatse unyana wakho, noYonatan unyana ka-Abhiyatare, oonyana benu bobabini kunye nawe.
28 Yabonani, ndozilazila emazibukweni entlango, kude kufike ilizwi elivela kuni lokundixelela.
29 UTsadoki noAbhiyatare bayibuyisela ityeya kaThixo eYerusalem, bahlala khona.
30 UDavide wenyuka eqhineni leminquma, enyuka elila, egqubuthele intloko, ehamba engenazimbadada ezinyaweni zakhe; bonke abantu abenabo begqubuthele elowo intloko yakhe; benyuka, benyuka belila.
31 Kwaxelwa kuDavide, kwathiwa, UAhitofele ukubacebisi baka-Abhisalom. Wathi uDavide, Yehova, khawulitshitshise icebo lika-Ahitofele.
32 Kwathi, akuya kufika uDavide encotsheni, apho bekusakuqutyudwa khona kuThixo, nanko uHushayi umArki emkhawulela, ekrazule ingubo yakhe, enomhlaba entloko.
33 UDavide wathi kuye, Ukuba uthe wagqithela nam, woba ngumthwalo kum;
34 ke ukuba uthe wabuyela kuwo umzi, wathi kuAbhisalom, Ndoba ngumkhonzi wakho, kumkani; ndibe ndifudula ndingumkhonzi kayihlo, ngoko ndingumkhonzi wakho:wonditshitshisela ke icebo lika-Ahitofele.
35 Abanawe na apho uTsadoki noAbhiyatare ababingeleli? Kothi ke, yonke into othe wayiva endlwini yokumkani, uyixele kuTsadoki noAbhiyatare ababingeleli.
36 Yabona, bakho khona nabo oonyana babo bobabini, uAhimahatse okaTsadoki, noYonatan oka-Abhiyatare; nolithumela ngesandla sabo kum lonke ilizwi enithe naliva.
37 Waya ke uHushayi, umhlobo kaDavide, kuwo umzi; uAbhisalom weza eYerusalem.
