UAmnon, uTamare noAbhisalom
1Kwathi emveni koko, uAbhisalom unyana kaDavide enodade wabo oyinzwakazi, ogama belinguTamare, wesuka uAmnon unyana kaDavide wamthanda. 2Wabandezeleka uAmnon, ngokokude azihlisele isifo ngenxa kaTamare, udade wabo; ngokuba ebeyintombi; kwanqaba emehlweni ka-Amnon ukuba amenze into.
3Ke kaloku uAmnon ebenomhlobo, ogama belinguYonadabhi, unyana kaShimeha umkhuluwa kaDavide. UYonadabhi ebeyindoda elumke kunene. 4Wathi kuye, Yini na ukuba ube nje ukubhitya imiso ngemiso, nyana wokumkani? Akundixeleli na? Wathi uAmnon kuye, Ndithanda uTamare, udade boAbhisalom umninawa wam. 5UYonadabhi wathi kuye, Lala esililini sakho, uzigulise; ke wòthi, akuza kukubona uyihlo, uthi kuye, Makhe eze uTamare udade wethu, andinike into edliwayo, ayenze phambi kwam, ukuze ndiyibone, ndiyidle esandleni sakhe.
6Walala ke uAmnon, wazigulisa. Ukumkani waya kumbona. Wathi uAmnon kukumkani, Makhe eze uTamare udade wethu, enze phambi kwam izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo, zibe zibini, ndizidle esandleni sakhe. 7Wathumela uDavide kuTamare endlwini, esithi, Khawuye endlwini ka-Amnon umnakwenu, umenzele ukudla.
8Waya uTamare endlwini ka-Amnon umnakwabo, yena elele phantsi. Wathabatha intlama, waxovula, wenza izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo phambi kwakhe, wazosa izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo. 9Wathabatha ipani, wazikhuphela phambi kwakhe; akavuma ukudla. Wathi uAmnon, Mabakhutshwe abantu bonke, baphume kum. Baphuma bonke abantu kuye. 10Wathi uAmnon kuTamare, Kuzise ekhusini apha ukudla, ndidle esandleni sakho. Wazithabatha uTamare izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo abezenzile, wazisa ekhusini kuAmnon umnakwabo. 11Wazisondeza kuye ukuba adle. Wesuka yena, wambamba, wathi kuye, Yiza, ulale nam, dade wethu. 12Wathi kuye, Musa, mnakwethu, musa ukundidlwengula; ngokuba akwenjiwa nje kwaSirayeli; musa ukulenza eli nyala. 13Mna ndingaya phi na nehlazo lam? Ke wena ungaba njengowabanobudenge kwaSirayeli. Khawuthethe ke ngoko nokumkani; ngokuba akangemangali nam kuwe. 14Akavuma yena ukuliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe. Wameyisa, wamdlwengula, walala naye.
15Waza uAmnon wamthiya ngentiyo enkulu kunene; ngokuba yaba nkulu intiyo awamthiya ngayo, ngaphezu kwentando abemthande ngayo. Wathi uAmnon kuye, Suka umke. 16Wathi kuye, Musa ukuba yimbangi yobu bubi bokundigxotha; bukhulu ngaphezu kobuyá ubenzileyo kum. Akavuma ukumphulaphula. 17Wabiza umfana, umlungiseleli wakhe, wathi, Khawugxothe le nkazana, imke kum, iye phandle, utshixe ucango emva kwayo.
18Ke yayambethe ingubo ende enemikhono; ngokuba bezisenjenjalo iintombi zokumkani eziseziintombi, ukwambatha ingubo yokwaleka. Wayikhuphela ngaphandle ke umlungiseleli wakhe, walutshixa ucango emva kwayo. 19UTamare wazigalela uthuthu entloko, wayikrazula ingubo yakhe ende enemikhono abeyambethe, wabeka isandla entloko, wemka, ehamba ekhala. 20Wathi uAbhisalom umnakwabo kuye, Ubenawe na uAmnon umnakwenu? Kaloku, dade wethu, hlala uthi tu, ngumnakwenu. Musa ukuyibekela ntliziyo le nto. Wahlala ke uTamare, wasisishwayimbana endlwini ka-Abhisalom umnakwabo.
21Waziva ukumkani uDavide zonke ezo nto, wavutha ngumsindo kunene. 22Akathetha nelibi nelilungileyo uAbhisalom kuAmnon; ngokuba uAbhisalom wamthiya uAmnon, ngale nto yokuba emdlwengule uTamare udade wabo.
23Kwathi, emva kweminyaka emibini, kwabakho abachebi kuAbhisalom eBhahali-hatsore kwaEfrayim. UAbhisalom wamema bonke oonyana bokumkani. 24Weza uAbhisalom, wathi kukumkani, Uyabona, naba abachebi kumkhonzi wakho; ukumkani nabakhonzi bakhe mabahambe nomkhonzi wakho. 25Ukumkani wathi kuAbhisalom, Musa, nyana wam; masingayi sonke sibe ngumthwalo kuwe. Wamzama; akavuma ukuya, kodwa wamsikelela. 26Wathi uAbhisalom, Ukuba akuyi wena, makakhe ahambe nathi uAmnon, umkhuluwa wam. Wathi ukumkani kuye, Ahambeleni na nawe? 27UAbhisalom wamzama; wavuma ukuba uAmnon ahambe naye, noonyana bonke bokumkani.
28UAbhisalom wawawisela umthetho amadodana akwakhe, wathi, Khanikhangele, xa ithe intliziyo ka-Amnon yamnandi yiwayini, ndaza ndathi kuni, Mbetheni uAmnon, nombulala. Musani ukoyika; àniwiselwe ndim na umthetho? 29Yomelelani nibe ngamakroti. Enza ke amadodana ka-Abhisalom kuAmnon njengoko uAbhisalom abewawisele umthetho. Besuka ke bonke oonyana bokumkani; walowo wakhwela kundlebende wakhe, basaba.
30Kwathi, besesendleleni, zafika iindaba kuDavide, zisithi, UAbhisalom ubabulele bonke oonyana bokumkani, akwasala namnye. 31Wesuka ukumkani, wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, waqungquluza emhlabeni; bonke abakhonzi bakhe bemi ngakuye, bezikrazule iingubo zabo. 32Waphendula uYonadabhi, unyana kaShimeha umkhuluwa kaDavide, wathi, Mayingàthi inkosi yam abulewe onke amadodana angoonyana bokumkani; ngokuba kufe uAmnon yedwa; ngokuba yagqitywa le nto ngumlomo ka-Abhisalom, kususela kwalaa mini wamdlwengula ngayo uTamare, udade wabo. 33Ke ngoko, nkosi yam kumkani, ungàlibekeli ntliziyo eli lizwi lithi, bonke oonyana bokumkani bafile. Akunjalo; nguAmnon yedwa ofileyo.
34Wabaleka uAbhisalom.
Ke kaloku umfana ongumlindi waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wakhangela, nanko kusiza into eninzi yabantu, ngendlela esecaleni lentaba, bevela ngasentshonalanga. 35Wathi uYonadabhi kukumkani, Naba oonyana bokumkani besiza; njengoko belinjalo ilizwi lomkhonzi wakho, kwenzeké ngokunjalo. 36Kwathi, akugqiba ukuthetha, babonakala befika oonyana bokumkani, baliphakamisa ilizwi labo, balila; kananjalo ukumkani nabakhonzi bakhe bonke batsho isililo esikhulu kunene.
37Ke uAbhisalom wabalekela kuTalemayi, unyana ka-Amihudi, ukumkani waseGeshuri. UDavide wenza isijwili ngonyana wakhe yonke imihla. 38Wabaleka ke uAbhisalom wafika eGeshuri, waba minyaka mithathu khona. 39UDavide ukumkani walangazelela ukuphuma aye kuAbhisalom, kuba wayeselethuthuzelekile ngoAmnon kuba efile.
