2 Samwele 10:1-19
10 Nomba pa numa ya ifi, imfumu ya bana ba kwa Amone+ yalifwile, kabili Hanuni umwana wa iko ali-ipyene no kutendeka ukuteka.+
2 E lyo Davidi atile: “Nalaba ne cikuuku kuli Hanuni mwana Nahashi, ifyo wishi ali ne cikuuku kuli ine.”+ Awe Davidi atumine ababomfi bakwe ku kuyamusansamusha pa mfwa ya kwa wishi, kabili ababomfi ba kwa Davidi+ bafikile mu calo ca bana ba kwa Amone.
3 Lelo, bacilolo ba bana ba kwa Amone batile kuli Hanuni shikulwibo: “Bushe imwe muleti Davidi alecindika shinwe ifi atumine aba kumusansamusha? Bushe te ku kufwayafwaya mu musumba ku ku-ulengula+ na ku ku-uwisha e co Davidi atumiine ababomfi bakwe kuli imwe?”+
4 E ico Hanuni abuulile ababomfi ba kwa Davidi, ababeyele imyefu lubali+ no kuputula ifya kufwala fyabo ukufika pa matako, e lyo abalekele baya.+
5 Pa numa abantu baileeba Davidi, na o apo pene atumine aba kubakumanya, pantu abo bantu baliseebene nga nshi; kabili imfumu yatile: “Ikaleni mu Yeriko+ mpaka imyefu yenu ikamene. E lyo mukabwele.”
6 Umuya inshiku abana ba kwa Amone bamwene ukuti Davidi nabapata,+ batumine aba kuyaobola abena Siria aba ku Bete-rehobu+ na bena Siria aba ku Soba,+ aba pa makasa amakana amakumi yabili (20,000), ne mfumu ya ku Maaka,+ abantu ikana limo (1,000), na ba ku Ishtobu, amakana ikumi na yabili (12,000).
7 Ilyo Davidi aumfwile, atumine Yoabu na bashilika bonse ne mpalume.+
8 E lyo abana ba kwa Amone bafumine no kuiteyanishisha ukulwa pa mpongolo, na bena Siria aba ku Soba na ba ku Rehobu,+ na bena Ishtobu na bena Maaka na bo baiteyanishishe ukulwa mu mpanga.+
9 Ilyo Yoabu amwene ukuti balemusansa icabipisha ku ntanshi na ku numa, ilyo line asalile abaume ba maka+ aba mu Israele no kubateyanya ukuti bakumanye abena Siria.
10 Na bantu abashalako abapeele kuli Abishai+ munyina, pa kuti abateyanishishe ukulwa na bana ba kwa Amone.+
11 Kabili atile: “Nga ca kuti abena Siria bancila amaka, wise unjafwe; lelo nga ca kuti abana ba kwa Amone bakucila amaka, na ine nalaisa ku kukwafwa.+
12 Kosa, pa kuti tushipe+ ukwafwa abantu besu ne misumba ya kwa Lesa wesu;+ kabili Yehova, alacita icawama mu menso yakwe.”+
13 E lyo Yoabu na bantu abali nankwe bapalamine ku kulwa na bena Siria, na bo bafulumwike ku cinso cakwe.+
14 Lelo abana ba kwa Amone bena, ilyo bamwene ukuti abena Siria bafulumuka, na bo bafulumwike Abishai kabili baingile mu musumba.+ Pa numa ya ifyo, Yoabu abwelele ukufuma ku bana ba kwa Amone no kufika mu Yerusalemu.+
15 Ilyo abena Siria bamwene ukuti abena Israele babacimfya, balongene capamo.
16 Kabili Hadadesere+ atumine abantu aba kuyasenda abena Siria abali mu ncende ya Mumana wa Yufrate;+ e lyo bafikile ku Helamu, na Shobaki+ umukalamba wa bashilika ba kwa Hadadesere e walebatungulula.
17 Ilyo bashimikile Davidi, ilyo line fye alongenye abena Israele bonse no kwabuka Yordani no kufika ku Helamu. Abena Siria nomba baiteyanishishe ukulwa ku kukumanya Davidi kabili batendeke ukulwa nankwe.+
18 Awe abena Siria balifulumwike+ ku cinso ca bena Israele; na Davidi aipeyepo abena Siria aba pa maceleta imyanda cinelubali (700)+ na ba pali bakabalwe amakana amakumi yane (40,000), akomene na Shobaki umukalamba wa bashilika babo, na o afwilile palya pene.+
19 Ilyo imfumu+ shonse ishalebombela Hadadesere, shamwene ukuti nabashicimfya ku bena Israele,+ ilyo line shapangile umutende na bena Israele no kutampa ukubabombela;+ na bena Siria balitiinine ukwesha ukupususha abana ba kwa Amone na kabili.+
