II Samueri 11:1-27

Ɀino gore rakati rapera, paŋguʋa yokurwa kwamadzimambo, Davidi akatuma Joabi pamŋe cete naʋaranda ʋake naʋaIsraeri ʋose; ʋakaparadza ʋana ʋaAmoni, ʋakakomba ʋo Raba. Asi Davidi wakasara Jerusarema. Ɀino neŋguʋa yamaɗekwana, Davidi akamuka panhoʋo dzake, akafamba pamsoro peɗeŋga reimba yamambo; akaʋona, ari’po paɗeŋga, mukadzi wakaŋga acishamba; ɀino mukadzi uyo wakaŋga akanaka kwaɀo pakuʋonekwa kwake. Davidi akatuma munhu kundobvunza kuti mukadzi uyo ndianiko? Mumŋe akati: Ko haazi iye Bati‐sheba mukunda waEriami, mukadzi waUria muHiti here? Davidi akatuma nhume kundomutora, akaȿika kwaari, akaʋata naye (nokuti wakaŋga anatswa pakusanaka kwake;) iye akadzokera kumba kwake. Mukadzi akatora mimba, akatuma shoko kunaDavidi akamuʋudza, akati: Ndaʋa nemimba. Davidi akatuma shoko kunaJoabi, akati: Tuma Uria muHiti, aʋuye kwandiri. Joabi akatuma Uria kunaDavidi. Ɀino Uria wakati aciȿika kwaari, Davidi akamubvunza kuti Joabi wakaɗini, naʋanhu ʋakaɗini, nokurwa kwakaɗini. Ɀino Davidi akati kunaUria: Ƃurukira kumba kwako, undoshambidza tsoka dzako. Uria akabva paimba yamambo, akatumirwa cipo ceɀokudya namambo. Asi Uria wakaʋata pamukoʋa weimba yamambo pamŋe cete naʋaranda ʋose ʋatenzi wake, haana‐kuɓurukira kumba kwake. Ɀino Davidi wakati aciʋudzwa kuti Uria haana‐kuɓurukira kumba kwake, Davidi akati kunaUria: Hauna‐kubva kurwendo here? Waregereiko kuɓurukira kumba kwako? Uria akati kunaDavidi: Areka, naʋaIsraeri, naʋaJuda ʋagere mumatumba, nashe waŋgu Joabi, naʋaranda ʋashe waŋgu ʋari mumatente aʋo kusaŋgo; ɀino ini ndiŋgapinda seiko mumba maŋgu ndidye ndinwe, ndiʋate nomukadzi waŋgu? Noʋupenyu bgenyu, ʋuye noʋupenyu bgomŋeya wenyu, handiŋgatoŋgoiti cinhu ici. Davidi akati kunaUria: Gara pano nanhasi, maŋgwana ndicakutendera kuenda. Naiɀoɀo Uria akagara Jerusarema zuʋa iro neramaŋgwana. Ipapo Davidi akamuɗana, akadya nokunwa pamberi pake, akamuɓatisa neɗoro; ɀino maɗeko akaɓuɗa akandoʋata panhoʋo dzake naʋaranda ʋashe wake, asi haana‐kuɓurukira kumba kwake. Ɀino maŋgwana Davidi akanyorera Joabi rugwaro, akarutuma noruʋoko rwaUria. Akanyora parugwaro, akati: Isa Uria pamberi panonyanyisa kurwiwa, mumusiye ari oga, aʋurawe, afe. Ɀino Joabi wakati acerekedza guta, akaisa Uria paakaŋga aciziʋa kuti ʋarume ʋoʋumhare ʋari’po. Ʋanhu ʋeguta ʋakaɓuɗa kuzorwa naJoabi, ʋamŋe ʋaranda ʋaDavidi ʋakaʋurawa, naiye Uria muHiti akafa ʋo. Ipapo Joabi akatuma munhu kundoʋudza Davidi mashoko ose okurwa. Akaraira nhume, akati: Kana wapedza kurondedzera kunamambo mashoko ose okurwa, kana kutsamŋa kwamambo kukamuka, iye akati kwauri: Makasweɗerereiko pedyo ɀikuru neguta pakurwa kwenyu? Hamuna kuziʋa here kuti ʋacafura ʋari paruȿiŋgo? Ndianiko wakaʋuraya Abimereki mŋanakomana waJerbesheti? Wakaŋga asiri mukadzi wakakanda huyo pamsoro pake ari paruȿiŋgo, akafira paTebezi here? Makasweɗerereiko pedyo ɀikuru noruȿiŋgo? Ipapo iwe uti: Muranda wenyu Uria muHiti, wafa ʋo. Naiɀoɀo nhume yakaenda, ikaȿika, ikaʋudza Davidi ɀose ɀayakaŋga yatumirwa naJoabi. Nhume ikati kunaDavidi: Ʋarume aʋo ʋakatikurira, ʋakaɓuɗira kwatiri kusaŋgo, tikaʋadziŋgirira kuȿikira paʋanopinda napo pasuʋo. Ʋafuri ʋakafura ʋaranda ʋenyu ʋari paruȿiŋgo, ʋamŋe ʋaranda ʋamambo ʋakafa, naiye muranda wenyu Uria muHiti wafa ʋo. Ipapo Davidi akati kunhume: Iti kunaJoabi: Iɀi ŋgaɀirege kukushuwisa, nokuti munondo unoparadza mumŋe pano nomumŋe kumŋe; tsuŋga hako pakurwa neguta, uriputse; newe enda undomusimbisa. Ɀino mukadzi waUria wakati anzwa kuti murume wake Uria wafa, akacema murume wake. Akati apedza kucema, Davidi akatuma nhume kumutora, akamuisa mumba make, akaʋa mukadzi wake, akamuɓerekera mŋanakomana. Asi cinhu ici, cakaŋga caitwa naDavidi, hacina‐kufadza Mŋari.
