Kutihlanganisa kwa-Abneri naDavide

⁶ Ngesikhatsi semphi leyayisemkhatsini wendlu yakaSawula nendlu yakaDavide, Abneri yena abechubeka nekucinisa sikhundla sakhe endlini yaSawula.

⁷ Sawula abenesingani, libito laso kunguRispha, indvodzakati ya-Aya. Ishboshethi wabuta Abneri, watsi: “Ulaleleni nesingani sababe?”

⁸ Abneri watfukutsela wabilelana ngenca yalenkhulumo ya-Ishboshethi, waphendvula watsi: “Ucabanga kutsi mine ngikhonta Juda yini? Lamuhla loku mine ngihlonipha indlu yeyihlo, Sawula, nemndeni wakhe kanye nebangani bakhe. Angikaze ngikunikele esandleni saDavide. Noko manje sewungibeka licala macondzana nalomfati!

⁹ Shangatsi Nkulunkulu angangiphatsa kabuhlungu mine Abneri, nangingamenteli Davide loko Simakadze lametsembisa kona ngesifungo,

¹⁰ esuse bukhosi endlini yaSawula, bese umisa Davide esihlalweni sebukhosi kutsi abuse etikwa-Israyeli naJuda, kusukela kaDani kuye kufike eBherisheba.”

¹¹ Ishboshethi akazange aphindze abe nesibindzi sekukhuluma lelinye livi ku-Abneri, ngobe abesamesaba.

¹² Abneri watfumela titfunywa takakhe kuDavide, tafike tatsi: “Labani lelive? Yenta nami sivumelwane, mine ngitakusita ekubuyiseni wonkhe Israyeli kutsi abe ngakuwe.”

¹³ Davide watsi: “Kulungile, ngitasenta nawe sivumelwane. Kodvwa kunye lengikufuna kuwe: Ungeti lapha embikwami, nawungakaletsi Mikhali, indvodzakati yaSawula, nawuta kutangibona.”

¹⁴ Davide watfumela titfunywa ku-Ishboshethi, umsa waSawula, wamtjela, watsi: “Letsa umkami Mikhali, lengamtsatsa ngekumkhokhela likhulu lemajwabu emaFilisti.”

¹⁵ Ngako Ishboshethi wakhipha umlayeto kutsi atsatfwe endvodzeni yakhe Phaltiyeli, umsa waLayishi.

¹⁶ Lendvodza yakhe yahamba naye, ikhala emvakwakhe yonkhe indlela, kwaze kwaba nguseBhahurimu. Abneri wakhuluma kuyo watsi: “Ncandzeka, ubuyele ekhaya!” Yancandzeka-ke lendvodza.

¹⁷ Abneri wakhuluma nebaholi baka-Israyeli, watsi: “Sesikhatsi lesidze seloku nifuna kubeka Davide kutsi abe yinkhosi yenu.

¹⁸ Manje kwenteni loko! Ngobe Simakadze wetsembisa Davide watsi: ‘Ngenceku yami Davide ngiyakwephula sive sonkhe sema-Israyeli esandleni semaFilisti nasetandleni tato tonkhe titsa taso.’ ”

¹⁹ Abneri waphindze wakhuluma yena cobo lwakhe kubakaBhenjamini. Wabe sewuya eHebroni kuyawutjela Davide konkhe Israyeli nendlu yakaBhenjamini lababekufuna.

²⁰ Ngesikhatsi Abneri, labehamba nalamadvodza langema-20, efika kuDavide eHebroni, Davide wamlungiselela lidzili yena kanye nalamadvodza labehamba nawo.

²¹ Abneri wakhuluma kuDavide, watsi: “Ngicela kutsi ngihambe khona nyalo inkhosi yami ngiyihlanganisele Israyeli wonkhe, khona sitekwenta sivumelwane kanye nawe, nekutsi utewubusa etikwako konkhe lokufisako.” Ngako Davide wase uhambisa Abneri; wahamba ngekuthula.

Kubulawa kwa-Abneri

²² Kwatsi kusenjalo, emabutfo aDavide anaJowabe efika aphuma ekuhlaseleni eta nemphango lenyenti. Kodvwa Abneri abesangekho kuDavide eHebroni, ngobe Davide abesamhambisile, naye wahamba ngekuthula.

²³ Watsi kube Jowabe nemabutfo onkhe labehambe nawo efike, watjelwa kutsi Abneri, umsa waNeri, abete enkhosini, nenkhosi yamhambisa ngekuthula.

²⁴ Ngako Jowabe wahamba waya enkhosini, wafike watsi: “Wenteni? Buka, Abneri ufike lapha. Umyekeleleni ahambe? Manje sewuhambile!

²⁵ Nawe uyamati Abneri, umsa waNeri; abetele kutakukuyenga nekubukisisa kuphuma nekungena kwakho, kuze atekuhlolisisa kahle konkhe lokwentekako.”

²⁶ Jowabe wesuka lapho watfumela titfunywa talandzela Abneri, tamncandza tambuyisa asasemtfonjeni waseSira. Kodvwa Davide abengakwati loko.

²⁷ Watsi kube Abneri efike eHebroni, Jowabe wamdvonsela nganhlanye esangweni, kwaba shangatsi kukhona lafuna kutsi akukhulume ngasemasitseleni. Khona lapho, wabe sewumgwaza esiswini, wafa. Ngako Abneri wabulawelwa kutsi naye abebulale Asaheli, umnakaboJowabe.

²⁸ Emvakwaloko, watsi kube Davide eve ngaloku, watsi: “Mine nembuso wami embikwaSimakadze anginalo licala lengati ya-Abneri, umsa waNeri.

²⁹ Shangatsi licala lengati yakhe lingaba setikwenhloko yaJowabe kanye nendlu yeyise! Shangatsi indlu yaJowabe ingete yahlala ingenaye umuntfu lonesilondza lesincincako nome lonalokusabulephelo, nome lohamba ngetimboko, nome lobulawa ngenkemba, nome loswele kudla.”

³⁰ Ngako boJowabe na-Abishayi bakhokha sibhongo ngekubulala Abneri, ngobe abebulele umnakabo Asaheli eGibeyoni.

Kungcwatjwa kwa-Abneri

³¹ Davide wakhuluma kuJowabe nakubo bonkhe bantfu lababelapho, watsi: “Klebhulani timphahla tenu nembatse emasaka, nihambe nendlule embikwa-Abneri.” Davide, inkhosi, naye cobo lwakhe wahamba emvakweluhlaka lwemngcwabo wa-Abneri.

³² Abneri bamngcwaba eHebroni, inkhosi yakhala yadzatimula ethuneni la-Abneri; nebantfu bonkhe bakhala.

³³ Inkhosi yahlabela sililo sa-Abneri, yatsi: “Abneri bekufanele yini afe njengemuntfu losilima?

³⁴ Tinyawo takho betingakaboshwa, netandla takho tingakankinkwa. Uwele phansi wafa njengemuntfu lobulewe tigelekece.” Sive sonkhe saphindza samkhalela futsi.

³⁵ Base bayefika kutawucela Davide kutsi sale asadla kusesemini, kodvwa Davide watsatsa sifungo, watsi: “Shangatsi Nkulunkulu angangishaya ngife, nangingadla lilanga lisengakashoni!”

³⁶ Bonkhe bantfu bakubona loko bajabula; empeleni, konkhe lokwakwentiwa yinkhosi kwabajabulisa.

³⁷ Ngako ngalelo langa bonkhe bantfu nesive sonkhe sema-Israyeli sakwati kutsi inkhosi yayingazange ifake sandla ekubulaweni kwa-Abneri, umsa waNeri.

³⁸ Inkhosi yakhuluma kulamadvodza ayo, yatsi: “Utsi niyabona nje kutsi lamuhla kufe umbusi longumuntfu lomkhulu ka-Israyeli?

³⁹ Lamuhla mine nome sengigcotjiwe, kodvwa angikacini, lamadvodzana aSeruya atidlova. Shangatsi Simakadze angamkhokhisa lomubi ngetento takhe letimbi!”
