2 uSamuweli 12:1-31 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
UJehova wathuma uNathani kuDavide. Wafika kuye, wathi kuye: “Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini munye; omunye ecebile, omunye empofu. Indoda ecebile yayinezimvu nezinkomo eziningi. Kodwa indoda empofu yayingenalutho, ngaphandle kwewundlu elilodwa lensikazi elincane eyalithenga futhi yalikhulisa, futhi lakhula kanye nayo nabantwana bayo; ladla okwalo, laphuza endebeni yalo, lalala esifubeni sakhe, lalinjengendodakazi kuye. Kwase kufika isihambi endodeni ecebileyo, kodwa yaziyeka emhlambini wayo nasezinkomeni zayo, ukuze inakekele isihambi esifike kuyo; kodwa wathatha iwundlu lomyanga, walilungisela lowo owayeza kuye. Intukuthelo kaDavide yamvuthela lowo muntu; wathi kuNathani: Kuphila kukaJehova, umuntu owenze lokho uyakufa nokufa. Kumelwe alibuyisele iwundlu ngokuphindwe kane, ngoba yenze le nto nangenxa yokuthi yayingenasihawu. UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Nguwe lowomuntu. Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngakugcoba ube yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, ngakusindisa esandleni sikaSawule; Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho nabafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho, ngakunika indlu yakwa-Israyeli noJuda; uma bekukuncane kakhulu, bengiyakukunika okunye nokunye. Kungani udelele umyalo kaJehova ukuba wenze okubi emehlweni akhe na? wambulala u-Uriya umHeti ngenkemba, wathatha umkakhe waba ngumkakhe, wambulala ngenkemba yabantwana bakwa-Amoni. Manje-ke inkemba ayisoze yasuka endlini yakho; ngoba ungidelele, wathatha umkaUriya umHethi waba ngumkakho. Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakukuvusela okubi okuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe omkekho phambi kwamehlo akho, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale nawomkekho phambi kwamehlo aleli langa. Ngoba wena wakwenza ngasese, kodwa mina ngizakwenza lokhu phambi kukaIsrayeli wonke laphambi kwelanga. UDavida wasesithi kuNathani: Ngonile eNkosini. UNathani wayesethi kuDavide: “UJehova usesusile isono sakho; aniyikufa. Kodwa ngenxa yalesi senzo unikeze izitha zikaJehova isizathu esikhulu sokuhlambalaza, nomntwana omzalelwayo uyakufa nokufa. UNathani wasesiya endlini yakhe. UJehova wamshaya umntwana umka-Uriya amzalela uDavide, wagula kakhulu. UDavide wamncenga uNkulunkulu ngomntwana; uDavide wazila ukudla, wangena, walala phansi ubusuku bonke. Amalunga endlu yakhe asukuma, aya kuye ukumvusa emhlabathini; kepha akavumanga, akadlanga sinkwa nabo. Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile, ngokuba zathi: “Bheka, umntwana esaphila sakhuluma naye, akalalelanga izwi lethu; pho, uzozihlupha kanjani, uma simtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile? Kodwa lapho uDavida ebona ukuthi izinceku zakhe ziyanyenyeza, uDavida wabona ukuthi umntwana ufile; uDavida wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Ufile umntwana yini? Bathi: “Ufile.” UDavide wayesesuka emhlabathini, wageza, wamgcoba, washintsha izingubo zakhe, wangena endlini kaJehova, wakhuleka; wacela, babeka isinkwa phambi kwakhe, wadla. Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye: “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo na?” Wazila ukudla, wakhala ngomntwana esaphila; kodwa esefile umntwana, wavuka wadla isinkwa. Wathi: “Umntwana esaphila, ngazila ukudla, ngakhala, ngokuba ngathi: ‘Ngubani ongazi, uma uNkulunkulu eyakuba nomusa kimi, ukuze umntwana aphile? Kodwa manje usefile, kungani kufanele ngizile ukudla na? ngingambuyisa ngiye kuye, kepha yena akayi kubuyela kimi. UDavide wamduduza uBati Sheba umkakhe, wangena kuye, walala naye; wazala indodana, yaqamba igama layo ngokuthi uSolomoni; uJehova wamthanda. Wathuma ngesandla somprofethi uNathani; waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uJedidiya ngenxa kaJehova. UJowabe walwa neRaba labantwana bakwa-Amoni, wathumba umuzi wobukhosi. UJowabe wathuma izithunywa kuDavide, wathi: “Ngalwa neRaba, ngathatha umuzi wamanzi.” Manje-ke hlanganisa abantu abaseleyo futhi umise ngokumelene nomuzi futhi uwuthathe, ukuze ngingawuthathi umuzi futhi ubizwe ngegama lami. UDavide wabutha bonke abantu, waya eRaba, walwa nalo, walithatha. Wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda lakhe, isisindo sawo sasiyitalenta legolide, namatshe ayigugu, wafakwa ekhanda likaDavide. Wakhipha impango yomuzi ngobuningi obukhulu. Wakhipha amadoda ayekulo, wawafaka ngaphansi kwamasaha, nangaphansi kwezimbazo zensimbi, nangaphansi kwezimbazo zensimbi, wawadabulisa esithandweni samatshe; wenze njalo kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.
2 uSamuweli 12:1-31 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
USimakade wayesethuma uNathani kuDavide. Wafika kuye wathi: “Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini munye, enye icebile, enye impofu. Ecebileyo yayinezimvu nezinkomo eziningi kakhulu, kepha empofu yayingenalutho, inexhukazana elilodwa eliselincane nje kuphela, eyayilithengile, yalondla. Lakhulela kuyo nakubantwana bayo; ladla ucezu lwayo, laphuza esitsheni sayo, lalala esifubeni sayo; lalinjengendodakazi kuyo. “Kwafika isihambi endodeni ecebileyo, yayeka ukuthatha ezimvini nasezinkomeni zayo ukulungisela leso sihambi esasiyivakashele, kepha yathatha ixhukazana lendoda empofu, yalilungisela isihambi.” UDavide wathukuthela kakhulu ngenxa yalowo muntu, wathi kuNathani: “Ngifunga ngiyagomela kuSimakade, umuntu owenze lokho umelwe wukufa. Ixhukazana uyakulibuyisela seliphindwe kane ngenxa yokuba enze lokho, futhi engabanga nasihawu.” UNathani wathi kuDavide: “Nguwe kanye lowo muntu. Usho kanje uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi kuwe: ‘Ngakugcoba waba yinkosi ka-Israyeli, ngakusindisa esandleni sikaSawule. Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho, nabafazi bayo wacamela kubo, ngakunika indlu yakwa-Israyeli neyakwaJuda. Uma lokho kukuncane bengiyakukwenezela ngokunye okuningi. Kungani wedelele izwi likaSimakade, wenza okubi emehlweni akhe na? Ubulele ngenkemba u-Uriya, umHithi, wathatha umkakhe wamenza umkakho. Wambulala ngenkemba yabakwa-Amoni, ngakho-ke inkemba ayiyukusuka endlini yakho kuze kube phakade, ngokuba ungedelele, wathatha umka-Uriya, umHithi, waba ngumkakho.’ “Usho kanje uSimakade uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyokuvusela ubutha endlini yakho, ngithathe abafazi bakho ubuka, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale nabo emini kwabha. Wena wakwenza lokhu ekusithekeni, kodwa Mina ngizokwenza lokhu phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke emini kwabha!’ ” UDavide wathi kuNathani: “Ngonile kuSimakade.” UNathani wathi kuDavide: “USimakade usisusile isono sakho, awuyukufa. Noma kunjalo-ke, ngenxa yaleso senzo wenze ukuba izitha zikaSimakade zimhlambalaze, ngakho umntwana ozozalwa uzokufa.” UNathani wayesebuyela emzini wakhe. USimakade wamshaya ngesifo umntwana umka-Uriya amzalela uDavide; umntwana wagula kakhulu. UDavide wamncenga uNkulunkulu ukuba asindise umntwana. UDavide wazila ukudla, wangena, walala emhlabathini ubusuku bonke. Amalunga endlu yakhe asuka aya kuye ukuze amvuse emhlabathini. Akavumanga, futhi akadlanga nawo ukudla. Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile, ngokuba zathi: “Bhekani, ngesikhathi umntwana esaphila sakhuluma naye, kodwa akasilalelanga. Pho sizomtshela kanjani ukuthi umntwana usefile? Angase azilimaze.” UDavide wabona izinceku zakhe zihlebelana, waqonda ukuthi umntwana akasekho. Wathi ezincekwini zakhe: “Usefile yini umntwana na?” Zathi kuye: “Yebo, ufile.” UDavide wayesesukuma emhlabathini, wageza, wazigcoba, waphendulela izingubo zakhe, wangena endlini kaSimakade wakhothama, wakhuleka. Wayeseya endlini yakhe wacela ukudla, bakubeka phambi kwakhe, wadla. Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye: “Yini le oyenzileyo ngenxa yomntwana na? Umntwana esaphila uzile ukudla, wakhala, lapho esefile, wasukuma wadla ukudla.” Wathi kuzo: “Ngesikhathi umntwana esaphila ngazila ukudla, ngakhala, ngicabanga ukuthi ngubani owaziyo hleze uSimakade abe nomusa kimi aphile umntwana. Manje usefile; ngisazozilelani na? Ngingambuyisa yini? Ngiyakuya kuye, kepha yena akayukubuyela kimi.” UDavide wamduduza uBhathisheba, umkakhe; waya kuye, walala naye, wazala indodana, wayiqamba igama wathi nguSolomoni. USimakade wamthanda uSolomoni. Wathumela ngomphrofethi uNathani, wamqamba igama wathi nguJedidiya ngenxa kaSimakade. UJowabe wahlasela iRabha labakwa-Amoni, wadla umuzi wasebukhosini. UJowabe wathumela izithunywa kuDavide, wathi kuye: “Ngihlasele iRabha, ngawudla uMuzi Wamanzi. Ngakho-ke qoqa abantu abasele lapho, ukanise ngakuwo, uwudle, funa uthathwe yimi bese ubizwa ngegama lami.” UDavide wabaqoqa bonke abantu, waya eRabha, walwa nalo, walidla. Wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo; isisindo sawo sasiyithalenta legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide; waphanga impango eningi kakhulu kulowo muzi. Abantu ababekuwo wabakhipha, wababulala ngamasaha, ngezibhulo zensimbi, nangamazembe ensimbi, abanye wabasebenzisa ukubumba izitini. Lokho wakwenza kuyo yonke imizi yakwa-Amoni. UDavide, nabo bonke abantu, babuyela eJerusalema.

UJehova wayesethuma uNathani kuDavide. Wafika kuye, wathi kuye: “Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini munye, enye icebile, enye impofu. Ecebileyo yayinezimvu nezinkomo eziningi kakhulu, kepha empofu yayingenalutho, inexhukazana lilinye elincane nje kuphela, eyayilithengile yalondla; lakhulela kuyo nakubantwana bayo; ladla ucezu lwayo, laphuza esitsheni sayo, lalala esifubeni sayo, lalinjengendodakazi kuyo. “Kwase kufika isihambi endodeni ecebileyo, yayeka ukuthatha ezimvini nasezinkomeni zayo ukusilungisela leso sihambi esasifike kuyo, kepha yathatha ixhukazana lendoda empofu, yalilungisela umuntu owayefike kuyo.” Intukuthelo kaDavide yavutha kakhulu ngalowo muntu, wathi kuNathani: “Kuphila kukaJehova, umuntu owenze lokho ufanele ukufa; uyakulibuyisa ixhukazana, liphindwe kane, ngokuba enze lokho nangokuba wayengenasihawu.” UNathani wathi kuDavide: “Nguwe lowo muntu. Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ngakugcoba ube yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli, ngakophula esandleni sikaSawule, ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho, nabafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho, ngakupha indlu yakwa-Israyeli neyakwaJuda; uma lokho bekukuncane, ngangiyakukwenezela lokhu nalokho. Udeleleleni izwi likaJehova ukuba wenze okubi emehlweni akhe na? Ubulele u-Uriya umHeti ngenkemba, wathatha umkakhe abe ngumkakho, wambulala ngenkemba yabantwana bakwa-Amoni. Ngalokho inkemba ayiyikusuka endlini yakho, ngokuba ungidelele, wathatha umka-Uriya umHeti ukuba abe ngumkakho.’ “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyakukuvusela okubi okuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe abafazi bakho phambi kwamehlo akho, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale nabafazi bakho ekukhanyeni kwaleli langa. Ngokuba wena wakwenza ngasese, kepha mina ngiyakukwenza lokhu phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke naphambi kwelanga.’ ” UDavide wathi kuNathani: “Ngonile kuJehova.” UNathani wathi kuDavide: “NoJehova ususile isono sakho; awuyikufa. Nokho, ngokuba ngaleso senzo waveza ithuba elikhulu lokuba izitha zikaJehova zihlambalaze, umntwana omzalelweyo uyakufa nokufa.” UNathani wayesebuyela endlini yakhe. UJehova washaya ngesifo umntwana owazalelwa uDavide kumka-Uriya, wagula kakhulu. UDavide wamncenga uNkulunkulu ngomntwana; uDavide wazila ukudla, wangena, walala emhlabathini ubusuku bonke. Amalunga endlu yakhe asuka aya kuye ukumvusa emhlabathini, kepha akavumanga, futhi kadlanga kudla nawo. Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile, ngokuba zathi: “Bhekani, umntwana esezwa sakhuluma kuye, akalalelanga izwi lethu; pho, singamtshela kanjani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angenza ingozi.” Kepha uDavide ebona ukuthi izinceku zakhe ziyanyenyezelana, uDavide waqonda ukuthi umntwana ufile; uDavide wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe: “Usefile umntwana na?” Zathi: “Ufile.” UDavide wayesevuka emhlabathini, wageza, wazigcoba, waphendulela izingubo zakhe, wangena endlini kaJehova, wakhuleka; wayeseya endlini yakhe; lapho esecela ukudla, bakubeka phambi kwakhe, wadla. Zase zithi izinceku zakhe kuye: “Yintoni le oyenzileyo na? Wazila ukudla, wakhala ngomntwana esekhona, kepha lapho esefile, uvukile wadla.” Wathi-ke yena: “Umntwana esekhona ngazila ukudla, ngakhala, ngokuba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo ingabe uJehova uyakuba nomusa kimi ukuba umntwana aphile na? Manje usefile; ngiyakuzilelani na? Ngingambuyisa yini? Ngiyakuya kuye, kepha yena akayikubuyela kimi.” UDavide wamduduza uBati Sheba umkakhe, wangena kuye, walala naye; wazala indodana, waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uSolomoni. UJehova wamthanda. Wathuma ngesandla sikaNathani umprofethi, wambiza ngokuthi uJedidiya* ngenxa kaJehova. UJowabe walwa neRaba labantwana bakwa-Amoni, wathatha umuzi wenkosi. UJowabe wathuma izithunywa kuDavide, wathi: “Ngilwe neRaba, yebo, ngathatha uMuzi Wamanzi. Ngalokho butha abantu abaseleyo, umise ngakuwo umuzi, uwuthathe, funa mina ngiwuthathe umuzi, ubizwe ngegama lami.” UDavide wayesebutha bonke abantu, waya eRaba, walwa nalo, walithatha. Wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo; isisindo sawo sasiyitalenta* legolide, itshe eliyigugu likuwo; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide; wakhipha emzini impango eningi kakhulu. Wakhipha nabantu ababe phakathi kwawo, wababeka emasaheni, nasezibhuqweni zensimbi, nasemazembeni ensimbi, wabasebenzisa kohonela; wenze njalo kuyo yonke imizi yakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.
