8. Wathi uHushayi, Wena uyamazi uyihlo namadoda akhe, ukuba ngamagorha amphefumlo ulugcalagcala, njengebhere ehluthwe amathole ayo ezindle; uyihlo yindoda eqhele ukulwa, akalali ebantwini.

9. Yabona, kungokunje uzimele emgongxweni, nokuba kukwenye indawo. Kothi ke, xa athe wabawela ekuqaleni, eve ovayo, athi, Kukho uxabelo ebantwini abamlandelayo uAbhisalom;

10. athi nomfo onobukroti, ontliziyo injengentliziyo yengonyama, anyibilike kuphele. Ngokuba onke amaSirayeli ayazi ukuba uyihlo ligorha, abo banaye ngamakroti.

14. Wathi uAbhisalom namadoda onke akwaSirayeli, Icebo likaHushayi umArki lilungile kunecebo lika-Ahitofele. UYehova wayemise ukuba litshitshiswe icebo elilungileyo lika-Ahitofele, ukuze uYehova amzisele ububi uAbhisalom.

15. Wathi uHushayi kuTsadoki nakuAbhiyatare ababingeleli, Wenjenje, wenjenje uAhitofele ukumpha icebo uAbhisalom namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli; ke mna ndenjenje, ndenjenje ukubapha icebo.

16. Thumelani ke ngoko kamsinya, nimxelele uDavide, nithi, Musa ukulala ngobu busuku emazibukweni entlango; khawuleza uwele, hleze aginywe ukumkani nabantu bonke anabo.

17. Ke kaloku uYonatan noAhimahatse babemi e-En-rogele; waye umkhonzazana emana ukubaxelela; baya ke bona baxelela ukumkani uDavide; ngokuba babengenakuya besiza phakathi komzi ekuhleni.

20. Bafika abakhonzi baka-Abhisalom kuloo ntokazi endlwini, bathi, Baphi na ooAhimahatse noYonatan? Yathi loo ntokazi kubo, Bawele umlanjana lo unamanzi. Bafuna ke, ababafumana; babuyela eYerusalem.

21. Kwathi emva kokumka kwabo, baphuma equleni, baya bamxelela ukumkani uDavide; bathi kuDavide, Sukani niwele kamsinya emanzini; ngokuba wenjenje uAhitofele ukubapha icebo ngani.

22. Wesuka ke uDavide nabantu bonke anabo, bayiwela iYordan;kwathi kusasa kwabe kungasekho namnye ungayiwelanga iYordan.

23. Ebonile uAhitofele ukuba akwenziwanga ngelakhe icebo, wabopha iesile, wesuka, wagoduka, waya emzini wakhe, wayolela, wazikrwitsha wafa; wangcwatyelwa engcwabeni likayise.

28. bazisa iinkuko, nezitya, nemiphanda, nengqolowa, nerhasi, nomgubo, namakhweba neembotyi, neentlumaya, nezinye izinto ezigcadiweyo,

2 Samuweli 18:1-33

2. UDavide wasinikela isahlulo sesithathu sabantu esandleni sikaYowabhi, nesahlulo sesithathu esandleni sika-Abhishayi unyana kaTseruya, umninawa kaYowabhi, nesahlulo sesithathu esandleni sikaItayi waseGati. Wathi ukumkani ebantwini, Nam ndiya kuphuma, ndiphume nani.

3. Bathi abantu, Uze ungaphumi; ngokuba xa sithe sasaba, sisabile, abayi kusibekela ntliziyo thina; nokuba kuthe kwafa isiqingatha kuthi, abayi kusibekela ntliziyo; ngokuba ungangamawaka alishumi kuthi; kulungile kanye ukuba usincede, ukuwo umzi.

6. Baphuma ke abantu, baya ezindle, bawahlangabeza amaSirayeli; kwaliwa ehlathini lakwaEfrayim;

9. UAbhisalom waqubisana nabakhonzi bakaDavide. UAbhisalom waye ekhwele kundlebende, undlebende wangena phantsi kwentshinyela yomterebhinti omkhulu; yabambeka emterebhintini intloko yakhe, waphakathi kwezulu nomhlaba; wemka undlebende obephantsi kwakhe.

10. Yabona indoda ethile, yamxelela uYowabhi, yathi, Khangela, ndimbonile uAbhisalom exhomekile emterebhintini.

11. Wathi uYowabhi kuloo ndoda imxeleleyo, Khangela, umbonile nje, ibiyini na ukuba ungambethi awe khona emhlabeni?Ngendikunike ishumi lesilivere nombhinqo.

12. Yathi loo ndoda kuYowabhi, Ndingafanelana ndilinganiselwe esandleni sam iwaka lesilivere, bendingede ndise isandla sam kunyana wokumkani; ngokuba ukumkani, sisiva, wakuwisela umthetho, wena noAbhishayi noItayi, wathi, Nokuba ngoobani, ize bamgcine umfana uAbhisalom.

13. Okanye ukuba bendithe ndenza ubuxoki emphefumlweni wakhe —kuba kungekho nto ikhanyelekayo kukumkani—wena ubuya kundichasa.

14. Wathi uYowabhi, Andinakwenjenje, ndilibale nguwe.Wathabatha izikhali zazithathu ngesandla sakhe, wamhlaba uAbhisalom entliziyweni, esaphilile, emterebhintini apho.

15. Amrhawula amadodana alishumi angabaphathi bempahla kaYowabhi, atsho kuAbhisalom, ambulala.

17. Bamthabatha uAbhisalom, bamphosa ehlathini emgongxweni omkhulu, bafumba imfumba enkulu kakhulu yamatye phezu kwakhe.Asaba onke amaSirayeli, elowo waya ententeni yakhe.

18. Ke kaloku uAbhisalom ekudleni kwakhe ubomi wayethabathe wazimisela ilitye elisentilini yokumkani; ngokuba ubesithi, Andinanyana wokulikhumbuza igama lam. Walibiza ngegama lakhe elo litye: labizwa ngokuthi sisikhumbuzo sika-Abhisalom unanamhla.

19. Wathi uAhimahatse, unyana kaTsadoki, Mandigidime, ndimshumayeze ukumkani iindaba ezilungileyo zokuba uYehova umgwebele, wamkhulula ezandleni zeentshaba zakhe.

20. Wathi uYowabhi kuye, Akunguye mfo weendaba ezilungileyo namhla; woshumayela iindaba ezilungileyo ngenye imini, kodwa namhla akusayi kushumayela zindaba zilungileyo, ngokuba unyana wokumkani ufile.

21. Wathi uYowabhi kuKushi, Hamba uye kumxelela ukumkani okubonileyo. Waqubuda uKushi kuYowabhi, wagidima ke.

22. Wabuya waphinda uAhimahatse, unyana kaTsadoki, wathi kuYowabhi, Nokuba kutheni, makhe ndimlandele nam uKushi. Wathi uYowabhi, Yini na ukuba ugidime, nyana wam, ungenazindaba zilungileyo zinanzuzo nje?

23. Wathi, Nokuba kutheni, mandigidime. Wathi kuye, Gidima.Wagidima ke uAhimahatse ngendlela yaloo mmandla, wegqitha kuKushi.

24. Ke uDavide ebehleli phakathi kwamasango amabini. Umlindi waya emphezulwini wesango eludongeni, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wakhangela, nanko kusiza indoda, ibaleka iyodwa.

25. Wamemeza umlindi, waxelela ukumkani. Wathi ukumkani, Ukuba iyodwa, ineendaba ezilungileyo emlonyeni wayo. Yeza isiza yasondela.

26. Umlindi wabona enye indoda ibaleka; umlindi wamemeza esangweni, wathi, Nantsiya indoda ibaleka iyodwa. Wathi ukumkani, Naleyo ingumshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo.

27. Wathi umlindi, Ndikubona ukubaleka kwephambili kufana nokubaleka kuka-Ahimahatse, unyana kaTsadoki. Wathi ukumkani, Yindoda elungileyo leyo, iza neendaba ezilungileyo.

28. Wamemeza uAhimahatse, wathi kukumkani, Hlala kakuhle.Waqubuda ngobuso emhlabeni kukumkani, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova uThixo wakho, owanikeleyo amadoda asiphakamisileyo isandla sawo enkosini yam ukumkani.

29. Wathi ukumkani, Ihleli kakuhle na indodana uAbhisalom?Wathi uAhimahatse, Ndibone ingxokolo enkulu, ekumthumeni kukaYowabhi umkhonzi kakumkani, nomkhonzi wakho lo, ndingazi ukuba yintoni na.

30. Wathi ukumkani, Shenxela ecaleni, ume apha. Washenxa wema.

32. Wathi ukumkani kuKushi, Ihleli kakuhle na indodana uAbhisalom? Wathi uKushi, Iintshaba zenkosi yam ukumkani, nabo bonke abasukele phezulu kuwe ukukwenza into embi, mababe njengaloo ndodana.

33. Wagungqa ukumkani; wenyuka waya egumbini eliphezu kwesango, walila, wathetha ekuyeni kwakhe, esithi, Nyana wam, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam, Abhisalom! Akwaba bekufe mna esikhundleni sakho, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam!
