2 Samuweli 20
1Kwaba khona umuntu kaBheliyali ogama lakhe linguSheba, indodana kaBigi umBenjamini; wabetha icilongo, wathi: “Asinasabelo kuDavide, futhi asinafa endodaneni kaJese.” Yilowo nalowo makaye ematendeni akhe, Israyeli!
2Bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli benyuka besuka kuDavide, balandela uSheba indodana kaBigi; kepha abantu bakwaJuda banamathela enkosini yabo kusukela eJordani kuze kube seJerusalema.
3UDavide wafika endlini yakhe eJerusalema; inkosi yathatha abesifazane abayishumi ezancinza zayo eyayibashiyile ukuba balinde indlu, yabafaka esitokisini, yabagcina, kepha ayingenanga nabo. Ngemva kwalokho baboshwa kwaze kwaba usuku lokufa kwabo, kuyilapho bona bengabafelokazi.
4Inkosi yathi ku-Amasa: “Ngibuthele abantu bakwaJuda ngezinsuku ezintathu, ube khona lapha.”
5U-Amasa wayesehamba ukubutha abantu bakwaJuda, kepha wahlala isikhathi eside kunesikhathi ammisele sona.
6UDavida wasesithi kuAbishayi: Khathesi uSeba, indodana kaBigi, uzasenzela okubi okwedlula uAbisalomu; thatha inceku zenkosi yakho, umsukele, ukuze angazithatheli imizi ebiyelweyo, siphunyuke.
7Amadoda kaJowabe aphuma amlandela, namaKreti, namaPheleti, nawo onke amaqhawe, aphuma eJerusalema ukuxosha uSheba indodana kaBigi.
8Lapho besetsheni elikhulu eliseGibeyoni, u-Amasa waphuma phambi kwabo. Wayebhincile ingubo kaJowabe abeyigqokile, kukhona ibhande elinenkemba eboshelwe okhalweni lwakhe esigxotsheni sakhe; kwathi esephuma, yawa.
9UJowabe wasesithi kuAmasa: Uyaphila, mfowethu? UJowabe wabamba u-Amasa ngentshebe ngesandla sokunene ukuze amange.
10Kepha u-Amasa akayinaka inkemba eyayisesandleni sikaJowabe; wafa. UJowabe nomfowabo u-Abishayi bamxosha uSheba indodana kaBigi.
11Omunye wamadoda kaJowabe wema ngakuye, wathi: “Obenomusa uJowabe nongakuDavide makalandele uJowabe.”
12UAmasa wagiqika egazini phakathi komgwaqo. Lapho lowo muntu ebona ukuthi bonke abantu babemi, wamsusa u-Amasa emendweni wamyisa endle, wamjikijela ngendwangu, lapho ebona ukuthi bonke abafika kuye bema.
13Esesusiwe emendweni, bonke abantu bamlandela uJowabe ukuze baxoshe uSheba indodana kaBigi.
14Wadabula izizwe zonke zakwa-Israyeli, waze wafika e-Abela, naseBeti Maga, nakuwo onke amaBeri; basebebuthana bamlandela.
15Bafika bamvimbezela e-Abela laseBeti-Maga, bawufumbela igoqo lokuvikela umuzi, wema emseleni; bonke abantu ababenoJowabe balubhidliza ugange ukuze ulubhidlize.
16Kwasekumemeza owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo esemzini esithi: Zwanini, zwanini! nithi kuJowabe: “Sondela lapha ukuba ngikhulume nawe.”
17Esesondela kuye, owesifazana wathi: UnguJowabi yini? Wathi: “Nginguye.” Wathi kuye: “Yizwa amazwi encekukazi yakho.” Wathi: Ngiyezwa.
18Wayesekhuluma wathi: “Endulo babekhuluma bathi: “Ngokuqinisekile bayocela iseluleko ku-Abela; basebeyiqeda ke indaba.
19Ngingomunye wabathanda ukuthula nothembekileyo kwa-Israyeli; nifuna umuzi nomama kwa-Israyeli; Niyakushwabadelani ifa likaJehova na?
20UJowabe waphendula wathi: “Kukude, kukude nami ukuba ngidle noma ngichithe.”
21Akunjalo, kepha umuntu wasezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi ogama lakhe linguSeba, indodana kaBikri, waphakamisa isandla sakhe emelene nenkosi, emelene noDavide; msindise, ngisuke emzini. Owesifazana wasesithi kuJowabi: Khangela, ikhanda lakhe liphoselwe phezu komduli ngenxa yakho.
22Owesifazana wasesiya ebantwini bonke ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe. Balinquma ikhanda likaSheba, indodana kaBigi, baliphonsa kuJowabe. Wabetha icilongo, basuka emzini, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe. UJowabe wabuyela eJerusalema enkosini.
23UJowabe wayephezu kwebutho lonke lakwa-Israyeli, uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKreti namaPleti.
24U-Adoramu wayephethe izithelisi, uJehoshafati indodana ka-Ahiludi wayengumbusi.
25USheva wayengumbhali, uSadoki no-Abiyathara babengabapristi.
26Futhi u-Ira, umJayire, wayengumbusi phezu kukaDavide.
