16 Daudi mwabya abilaba oko singyi ko hake, mwahindana na Ziba, omughombe wa Mefibosheti. Abya iniabirisyamulinda. Mwasa n’esyopunda ibiri esyabya sihekire emikati 200, esyogato 100 esy’emizabibu eyumire, esyogato 100 sy’amatunda awakera oko mughulu w’eryuba rinene,* n’erilegha rinene ry’edivai.
2 Neryo omwami Daudi mwabulya Ziba ati: “Ukabileta ebyosi ebi byo busanaki?” Ziba mwamusubirya ati: “Mwami waghe, ngabileta esyopunda ab’omo kihanda kyaghu batoke eribya bakaghenda kusyo. Emikati n’esyogato sy’amatunda awakera oko mughulu w’eryuba rinene, mungaleterasyo abalwana baghu, n’edivai mungaleterayo abakendibya ibabiriluhira omo mbwarara.”
3 Neryo omwami mwabulya Ziba ati: “Mughala* w’omukama waghu ali hayi?” Ziba mwamusubirya ati: “Mwakasighala e Yerusalema, kundi mwakayibwira ati, ‘Munabwire Abaisraeli bakendinisubulirya obwami bwa baba waghe.’”
4 Neryo omwami mwabwira Ziba ati: “Ebindu byosi bya Mefibosheti byamabya byaghu.” Ziba mwamusubirya ati: “Namunama embere syaghu mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, wasingya erinikangania olukogho.”
5 Omwami Daudi mwabya abihika e Bahurimu, omulume mughuma w’omo kihanda kya Sauli mwasa eyiri Daudi inianemumutsuma. Omulume oyo abya iniakahulawa mo Shimei. Abya mughala wa Gera.
6 Abya akaghusa oko Daudi n’oko baghombe biwe bosi kw’amabwe, abya akaghusagho n’oko bandu bosi n’abasuda ababya oko luhande lwa Daudi lw’amali n’olw’amalembe.
7 Shimei abya akatsuma Daudi omw’ibugha ati: “Ulwaho! Ulwaho! Uli mwiti! Uli mundu bule!
8 Yehova abirikuha amalipizi busana n’eriita abandu b’omo kihanda kya Sauli, kandi kundi muwamupurako obwami. Aliwe Yehova akendiha obwami obo bo Absalomu mughala waghu. Lino obuhanya bukakuhikira kundi uli mwiti!”
9 Neryo Abishai mughala wa Zeruya mwabwira omwami ati: “Busanaki embwa eyiholire eyi ikatsuma omukama kandi omwami waghe? Leka ngaya eyo yiri, n’eritwa kuyo k’omutwe.”
10 Aliwe omwami mwabwira Abishai ati: “Iwe mughala wa Zeruya, ebyo binakulebirye? Muleke anitsume. Yehova amabya iyulyamubwira ati anitsume, leka anitsume.”
11 Neryo Daudi mwabwira Abishai n’abaghombe biwe bosi ati: “Mughala waghe-waghe oyo nabuta amabya iniakasonda eriniita,* sinangalengekania niti Omubenyamini iye syanganiita. Mumuleke anitsume, Yehova amabya iyulyamubwira ati akole atya.
12 Kwa muhwa Yehova akendilangira ngoko ngaghalawa. Munabwire anemunitsuma, aliwe Yehova angananitsumula omo mwanya w’ebitsumi ebyo.”
13 Neryo Daudi n’abalume biwe mubaendelea n’olughendo lwabo. Shimei abya akalaba oko ndambi-ndambi y’ekitwa hakuhi na Daudi, abya akatsuma Daudi n’erimughusako amabwe n’olututu lunene.
14 Oko mwiso, omwami n’abandu bosi ababya haghuma naye mubahika eyo babya bakaya ibabiriluha, neryo mubaluhuka.
15 Oko mughulu oyo, Absalomu n’abalume biwe bosi be Israeli mubahika e Yerusalema. Ahitofeli abya iniane haghuma naye.
16 Hushai Omuarki, omwira wa Daudi, mwahika ahali Absalomu n’eribugha ati: “Omwami akote! Omwami akote!”
17 Absalomu mwabwira Hushai ati: “Olo lw’olwanzo oluteleghula olo ukakanganaya omwira waghu. Siwetaghenda naye busanaki?”
18 Neryo Hushai mwabwira Absalomu ati: “Ingye niri oko oyo Yehova, abandu aba, n’abandu bosi be Israeli babirisombola. Oyo yo ngendisighala naye.
19 Kandi, s’uli mughala w’omwira waghe. Naghu litolere inakukolera. Ngendikukolera, ngoko nakolera baba waghu.”
20 Neryo Absalomu mwabwira Ahitofeli ati: “Naghu ngoko wamalangira, litolere itwakolaki? Umbe erihano.”
21 Neryo Ahitofeli mwabwira Absalomu ati: “Ghotsera n’abandi bakali ba baba waghu abo asigha ati batsunge enyumba.* Neryo Abaisraeli bosi bakendyowa ngoko wabiribya kindu ekikakumbira baba waghu yo muhanda, n’abali oko luhande lwaghu bakendibana akaghala.”
22 Neryo mubahimbira Absalomu y’ehema oko lutwe lw’enyumba. Absalomu mwaghotsera n’abandi bakali ba baba wiwe Abaisraeli bosi ibanalolire.
23 Oko mughulu oyo, erihano eryo Ahitofeli akateka irikalangirika oMungu w’ekwenene nga yulyatekaryo.* Daudi na Absalomu ko babya bakalangira batya erihano eryo Ahitofeli alyateka.
