Ukufa kuka-Abhisalom
1uDavide wawabala amadoda abenaye, wabamisa aba ngabathetheli-waka nabathetheli-makhulu. 2uDavide wasithumela isahlulo sesithathu sabantu esandleni sikaYowabhi, nesahlulo sesithathu esandleni sika-Abhishayi unyana kaTseruya, umzalwana kaYowabhi, nesahlulo sesithathu esandleni sikaItayi waseGati. Wathi ukumkani ebantwini, Ndophuma nani. 3Baphendula abantu bathi, Aninako ukumka; ngokuba, xa sithe sasaba, abayi kusigcina; xa sithe safa isiqingatha sethu, ziya kusigcina; kodwa ngoku, nilingana neshumi lamawaka kuthi; ngoko ke, kungcono ukuba usincede siwushiye umzi. 4Wathi ukumkani kubo, Ndiya kwenza ngokuthanda kwenu. Ukumkani wema esangweni, yaye bonke abantu baphuma ngamakhulu namawaka. 5uYehova wabawisela umthetho uYowabhi, noAbhishayi, noItayi, wathi, Yibani nenceba kumfana lowo, uAbhisalom, ngenxa yam. Beva ke bonke abantu ukuba ukumkani ubawisele umthetho abathetheli bonke ngoAbhisalom. 6Aphuma amadoda aya elizweni, aya kukhawulela oonyana bakaSirayeli; kwaliwa ehlathini lakwaEfrayim; 7Apho kwabulawa abantu bakwaSirayeli phambi kwabakhonzi bakaDavide, kwaza kwabulawa abantu abaninzi ngaloo mini amadoda angamashumi amabini amawaka. 8Kuba imfazwe yasasazeka kulo lonke ilizwe, nehlathi latshabalalisa abantu abaninzi kunabo batshatyalaliswe ngekrele ngaloo mini. 9uAbhisalom waqubisana nabakhonzi bakaDavide. uAbhisalom wayekhwele imeyile, yaye imeyile yangena phantsi kwamasebe ashinyeneyo omthi omkhulu wom-oki; wahamba imeyile ebiphantsi kwakhe. 10Indoda ethile yakubona oko, yamxelela uYowabhi, yathi, Khangela, ndimbonile uAbhisalom ejinga emterebhintini. 11Wathi uYowabhi kuloo ndoda imxeleleyo, Khangela, umbonile nje, ibiyini na ukuba ungambethi khona? Bendiya kukunika iishekele ezilishumi zesilivere nebhanti. 12Yathi indoda leyo kuYowabhi, Ndingafanelana ndithabathe iwaka leshekele esandleni sam, andiyi kusithintela isandla sam kunyana wokumkani; ngokuba ukumkani ukuwisele umthetho, wena noAbhishayi noItayi, sithe sakuva, wathi, Dlulani! akukho namnye umchukumisayo umfana uAbhisalom. 13Okanye, bendiya kuxoka emphefumlweni wam, ngokuba akukho nto ifihlakeleyo kukumkani; ubuya kuwaphakamisa amandla am. 14Wathi uYowabhi, Andiyi kuhlala kuwe ngolu hlobo. Wathabatha iintolo ezintathu esandleni sakhe waza wamhlaba uAbhisalom entliziyweni ngoxa wayesaphila emthini weturpentine. 15Bamrhawula abafana abalishumi abanxibe izixhobo zikaYowabhi, baxabela uAbhisalom, bambulala. 16Wavuthela uYowabhi isigodlo, abuya amadoda lawo, alandela oonyana bakaSirayeli; ngokuba uYowabhi wabanqanda abantu. 17Bamthabatha uAbhisalom, bamphosa emngxunyeni omkhulu wehlathi, babeka phezu kwakhe imfumba enkulu kakhulu yamatye; asaba onke amaSirayeli, aya elowo ententeni yakhe. 18Ke kaloku uAbhisalom wayesadla ubomi, wathabatha isimiso, wasimisa entilini yokumkani; ngokuba wathi, Andinanyana uya kulikhumbula igama lam; walibiza ilitye lesikhumbuzo ngegama lakhe; khuleni nanamhla, endlwini ka-Abhisalom! 19Wathi uAkimaya, unyana kaTsadoki, Mandigidime, ndimxelele ukumkani, ukuba uYehova umgwebele, umgwebele ezintshabeni zakhe. 20Wathi uYowabhi kuye, Akuyi kuzisa nto namhla, wozisa lizwi ngenye imini; ke namhla aniyi kuzizisa iindaba ezilungileyo, ngokuba unyana wokumkani ufile. 21Wathi uYowabhi kuKushi, Hamba uye kumxelela ukumkani okubonileyo. uKushi waguqa phambi koYowabhi, wagidima. 22Wathi uAhimaya, unyana kaTsadoki, kuYowabhi, Mandibaleke nam, ndibaleke ndiye kuKushi. Wathi uYowabhi, Uyabaleka, nyana wam, ubungekazithethi ezi ndaba? 23Kodwa wathi, Mandibaleke ndibaleke. Wathi kuye, Gijima uAhimahatse wabaleka wehla ngendlela esuka ethafeni waza wambamba uKusi. 24uDavide wahlala phantsi phakathi kwamasango omabini, umlindi wenyuka waya eluphahleni lwesango eludongeni, waphakamisa amehlo akhe, nanko indoda ibaleka iyodwa. 25Bamemeza ke abalindi, baxelela ukumkani. Wathi uYehova, Xa iyodwa, inelizwi emlonyeni wayo. Weza ngokukhawuleza, wasondela. 26Umlindi wabona enye indoda ibaleka; umlindi wabiza umlindi, wathi, Nantsiya indoda ibaleka iyodwa. Wathi ukumkani, Naleyo izisa iindaba. 27Wathi umlindi, Ndiyabona ukubaleka kwendoda enkulu kufana nokubaleka kuka-Akimeyu, unyana kaTsadoki. Wathi ukumkani, Uyindoda elungileyo, uza neendaba ezilungileyo. 28Wamemeza uAkimaya, wathi kukumkani, Konke kulungile; Wawa ngobuso phambi kokumkani, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova uThixo wakho, owabasindisayo abo baziphakamiselayo izandla zabo kukumkani, nkosi yam. 29Wathi uYehova, Usaphilile na umfana, uAbhisalom? Wathi uAhimaha, ekumthumeni kukaYowabhi umkhonzi wokumkani, mna ndingumkhonzi wakho, ndabona ingxokolo enkulu, ndingazi ukuba yintoni na. 30Wathi ukumkani kuye, Hamba, ume apha. Wajika, wema. 31Nanko kufika uKusi; Wathi uKusi, Yitsho kukumkani, nkosi yam, ngokuba uYehova uthethe namhla kubo bonke abo bakuphakamisela isandla sakho. 32Wathi uYehova kuKushi, Usaphilile na umfana, uAbhisalom? Waphendula uKusi, wathi, Iintshaba zokumkani, nkosi yam, nabo bonke abasukele phezulu kuwe ukukwenza into embi, mababe njengaloo ndodana. 33Waba buhlungu kakhulu ukumkani wenyuka waya egumbini eliphambi kwesango, walila; wahamba, wathi, Nyana wam, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam, Abhisalom! Akwaba bendinokufela wena, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam!
