uDavide nabantu, ubungangamsha bakhe babuza
1Kwaxelwa kuYowabhi, kwathiwa, Nanko ukumkani elila, elilela uAbhisalom. 2Usindiso lwaloo mini lwaba lusizi ebantwini bonke, ngokuba abantu beva ngaloo mini ukuba ukumkani wenze ububi ngonyana wakhe. 3Ngaloo mini abantu banyebelezela phakathi komzi, njengabasaba emfazweni, njengehlazo. 4Ukumkani wazigqubuthela ubuso, wadanduluka ukumkani ngezwi elikhulu, wathi, Nyana wam, Abhisalom, Abhisalom, nyana wam, nyana wam! 5Wangena uYowabhi endlwini yokumkani, wathi, Ubenze inqambi namhla ubuso babakhonzi bakho bonke abakusindisileyo namhla, nomphefumlo woonyana bakho, neentombi zakho, nomphefumlo wabafazi bakho; Yehova, nobomi bezithende zakho; 6Ngokuthanda iintshaba zakho nangokuthiya abahlobo bakho. Ngokuba namhla uthe, Akukhathali ngabathetheli nabakhonzi; ngenxa yokuba namhlanje ndiyabona ukuba ukuba ebesaphila uAbhisalom size sife sonke namhlanje, ngekulungile kuwe. 7Vuka ke ngoko, uhambe, uthethe kakuhle nabakhonzi bakho; ngokuba ndifunga uYehova, ndithi, ukuba anithanga niphume, inene, akukho mntu uya kuhlala nani ngobu busuku; kuya kuba kubi ngaphezu kobubi bonke obuzayo wena kwasebuncinaneni bakho kude kube ngoku. 8Wavuka ukumkani, wahlala esangweni. Baxelelwa abantu bonke, kwathiwa, Nanko ukumkani ehleli esangweni. Beza bonke abantu phambi kokumkani; ngokuba oonyana bakaSirayeli babebaleke, elowo waya ententeni yakhe. 9Basuka ke bonke abantu baxabana ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, besithi: “uYehova usihlangule esandleni seentshaba zethu, yaye usihlangule esandleni samaFilisti; wabaleka ke ngoku ebusweni buka-Abhisalom, ezweni. 10uAbhisalom, owasithambisayo ukuba abe ngukumkani, ufele edabini; Yini na ukuba ningathi, nimbuyise ukumkani? 11Wathumela ukumkani uDavide kuTsadoki nakuAbhiyatare ababingeleli, esithi, Nothi kumadoda amakhulu akwaYuda, nithi, Yini na ukuba nibe ngabokugqibela ekumbuyiseni ukumkani endlwini yakhe? walibona ilizwi lamaSirayeli onke, waya kukumkani endlwini yakhe. 12Nabazalwana bam, namathambo am, nenyama yam; yini na ukuba nibe ngabokugqibela ekumbuyiseni ukumkani? 13Wathi kuAmasa, Akulilo ithambo lam, nenyama yam na? Ngamana uThixo wandinika ukuba ungabi kufutshane nabantu bakowethu endaweni kaYowabhi. 14Wayitsala intliziyo yamadoda onke akwaYuda njengandoda-nye; Bathumela ke ilizwi kukumkani, bathi, Buya, wena nabakhonzi bakho bonke; 15Wabuya ke ukumkani, wafika eYordan. Afika amaYuda eGiligali, esiya kumkhawulela ukumkani, amthuthuzela ukumkani waseYordan. 16uShimehi, unyana kaGera, umBhenjamin, waseBhahurim, wehla ngokukhawuleza namadoda akwaYuda, esiya kukhawulela ukumkani uDavide. 17Wayekunye naye iwaka lamadoda akwaBhenjamin, noTsibha, umkhonzi wendlu kaSawule, noonyana bakhe abalishumi elinesihlanu namashumi amabini kubakhonzi bakhe ababenaye; bayiwela iYordan phambi kokumkani. 18Wanduluka ngomkhombe, waya endlwini yokumkani, ukuba enze ngoko akubonileyo. uShimehi, unyana kaGera, wawa phambi kokumkani ekuweleni kwakhe iYordan; 19Wathi kukumkani, Musa ukundigweba ngobugqwetha, nkosi yam, ungabukhumbuli ububi abenzileyo umkhonzi wakho, ekususweni kwenkosi yam ukumkani eYerusalem, ukuze ukumkani angayibeki loo nto entliziyweni yam. 20Ngokuba umkhonzi wakho lo uyazi, ukuba ndihlulekile; nanku, ndingowokuqala ofikileyo namhla wasendlwini yonke kaYosefu, ukuba ndihle ndiye kumkhawulela ukumkani inkosi yam. 21Waphendula uAbhishayi unyana kaTseruya, wathi, Anditshongo na ukuthi, uShimehi akayi kubulawa, ngokuba wamtshabhisayo umthanjiswa kaYehova? 22Wathi uDavide, Yintoni na enam nani, nyana bakaTseruya, ngokuba nide nibachase nje namhla? Kuya kubulawa mntu na kwaSirayeli namhla? kuba andiyazi na ukuba ndingukumkani wakwaSirayeli namhlanje? 23Wathi ukumkani kuShimehi, Akuyi kufa. Ukumkani wamfungela. 24Ke uMefibhoshete, unyana kaSawule, wehla waya kumkhawulela ukumkani, akazilungisa iinyawo zakhe, engazichebi neendevu zakhe, engazihlambanga neengubo zakhe, kususela kwimini yokuhamba kokumkani, kwada kwayimini yokubuya kwakhe enoxolo. 25Ekufikeni kwakhe eYerusalem eza kukhawulela ukumkani, wathi ukumkani kuye, Yini na ukuba ungahambi nam, Mefibhoshete? 26Wathi, Nkosi yam, nkosi yam, umkhonzi wam undixokisile; ngokuba umkhonzi wakho lo undim ubesithi, Ndiya kulibophela iesile, ndikhwele kulo, ndiye kukumkani; ngokuba umkhonzi wakho lo undim. 27Wahleba umkhonzi wakho enkosini yam ukumkani; kodwa ukumkani, nkosi yam, unjengesithunywa sikaThixo; wenze ke ngoko kulungileyo emehlweni akho. 28Ngokuba yonke indlu kabawo yafa phambi kwenkosi yam ukumkani; kanti wena umbekile umkhonzi wakho phakathi kwabadla etafileni yakho. Liliphi ilungelo endisenalo lokubiza ukumkani? 29Wathi ukumkani kuye, Akuthethi na ngemicimbi yakho? Ndathi: Wena noTsiba, yabelanani ngehlabathi. 30Wathi uMefibhoshete kukumkani, Makayithabathe yonke into, ngokuba ukumkani, inkosi yam, ubuyele endlwini yakhe enoxolo. 31uBharsileyi waseGiliyadi wehla eRogelim, wawela nokumkani eYordan, ukuba amthuthuzele eYordan. 32uBharasileyi ebemdala kakhulu, eminyaka imashumi asibhozo ezelwe; kuba wayeyindoda enkulu kakhulu. 33Wathi ukumkani kuBharsilayi, Hamba nam, ndokugcina eYerusalem. 34Wathi uBharisilayi kukumkani, Lixesha lingakanani na elisaseleyo, ukuba ndinyuke ndiye eYerusalem nokumkani? 35Namhlanje ndiminyaka imashumi asibhozo ubudala, yaye ndinako na ukwahlula phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi? Unako na umkhonzi wakho lo ukuyiva into ayidlayo nayiselayo? ndisenako na ukuva amazwi eemvumi neentombi? Yini na ukuba umkhonzi wakho lo abuye abe ngumthwalo enkosini yam? 36Umkhonzi wakho lo uya kuyiwela iYordan nokumkani umgama omfutshane; yini na ukuba ukumkani andibuyekeze ngalo mvuzo? 37Makabuye umkhonzi wakho, ndifele emzini wakowethu, ndingcwatyelwe engcwabeni likabawo noma. Nanko umkhonzi wakho uKiham; makawele nokumkani, nkosi yam; wenze okulungileyo kuwe. 38Waphendula ukumkani, wathi, uKiham wowela nam, ndikwenzele okulungileyo; nento othe wayicela kum, ndokwenzela. 39Lonke uhlanga lwawela iYordan; Akufika ukumkani, ukumkani wamanga uBharsilayi, wamsikelela; wagoduka. 40Wawela ke ukumkani, waya eGiligali, wahamba naye uKiham; yaye bonke abantu bakwaYuda bakhokela ukumkani nenxalenye yesihlanu yabantu bakwaSirayeli. 41Eza onke amadoda akwaSirayeli kukumkani, athi kukumkani, Yini na ukuba abazalwana bethu, amadoda akwaYuda, bebele kuwe, bamthuthuzele ukumkani nendlu yakhe namadoda onke kaDavide eYordan? 42Aphendula onke amadoda akwaYuda kumadoda akwaSirayeli, athi, Kungokuba ukumkani ekufuphi kuthi; ngoku uqumbele ntoni ngalento? Ngaba sikhe satya na ngemali yokumkani? Okanye ngaba usinike isipho? 43Aphendula amadoda akwaSirayeli kumadoda akwaYuda, athi, Sinezabelo ezilishumi kukumkani, kananjalo sinegunya ngaphezu kwenu kuDavide kunani; siyambuyisela ukumkani wethu? Yaye ilizwi lamadoda akwaYuda lalinamandla kunamadoda akwaSirayeli.
