Samweli w’Akabiri 17:1-29
17 Neryo Ahitofeli mwabwira Absalomu ati: “Kisi nilighire nisombole abalume 12 000, neryo nikwamirire Daudi munabwire omo kiro.
2 Ngendimuhikako iniabiriluha kandi isyakiwite akaghala.* Ngendileka iniahangya-hangya, n’abandu bosi abali haghuma naye bakenditibita, neryo omwami Daudi musa yo ngendiita.
3 N’enyuma sy’aho, ngendisubya abalume bosi b’oko luhande lwaghu. Ebikendihikira omulume oyo byo bikendileka ibasuba oko luhande lwaghu, neryo abandu bosi bakendibya omo buholo.”
4 Absalomu n’abasyakulu bosi be Israeli mubatsemera amalengekania wa Ahitofeli.
5 Aliwe Absalomu mwabugha ati: “Tubirikire na Abishai Omuarki, tumubulaye ng’akalengekanayaki oko mwatsi oyo.”
6 Neryo Hushai mwasa ahali Absalomu. Neryo Absalomu mwamubwira ebyo Ahitofeli alyamuhana ati akole. Enyuma sy’aho, mwamubulya ati: “Ukalengekanaya uti twanganakwama erihano eryo? Wamalangira uti siryuwene, iwatubwira nga tuyire tuti.”
7 Neryo Hushai mwabwira Absalomu ati: “Rero erihano rya Ahitofeli ryamaghana!”
8 Hushai mwatasyabugha ati: “Unasi ndeke-ndeke ngoko baba waghu n’abalume biwe bawite akaghala, kandi ngoko babirihangya-hangya ng’edubu eyabiriherya abyana byayo by’omo kisuki. Kandi baba waghu ni musuda oyukalire, syendighotsera omo mwanya mughumerera n’abasuda biwe.
9 N’oko ndambi eno anabisamire omo mwangalu kutse omo ghundi mwanya. Amabya w’erimbere erilwa nabo, abakendyowa omwatsi oyu ibakendibugha bati, ‘Abalume ba Absalomu babirisingwa.’
10 Neryo nibya n’omundu oyutesagha oyuli n’omutima owali ng’ow’esimba iniakendisagha, neryo iniahwamo akaghala, kundi Abaisraeli bosi banasi ngoko baba waghu ni mulume w’akaghala kandi ngoko abalume biwe sibalisagha.
11 Ekyo ngakuhana kya kino: Uhindanaye Abaisraeli bosi eritsuka e Dani erihika e Beeri-sheba. Babye banene ng’omutsanga w’oko musike w’engetse, neryo ubatwale oko malwa.
12 Tukendilwa na Daudi ehosi-hosi eyo tukendimweya. Tukendimutoghongerako ngoko ekimi kikatoghongera oko kitaka. Sihali n’omundu n’omughuma oko balume biwe oyukendibala, angaby’iye kutse oghundi mundu wosi-wosi w’oko balume biwe.
13 Amabitibita omo muyi, Abaisraeli bosi ibakendileta ebikoba, neryo itwakurira omuyi oyo omo musya erihika omughulu simwendisighala n’eribwe n’erighuma.”
14 Neryo Absalomu n’abalume bosi be Israeli ababya haghuma naye mubabugha bati: “Erihano rya Hushai Omuarki ryuwene kulenga erihano rya Ahitofeli.” Kundi Yehova abya iniabiriyisogha eribahiramo amalengekania w’eritendikwama erihano rya Ahitofeli, n’omo ryanabya ryuwene. Yehova abya anzire eriletera Absalomu y’obuhanya.
15 Enyuma sy’aho, Hushai mwabwira omuhereri Zadoki n’omuhereri Abiatari ebyo Ahitofeli ahana Absalomu n’abasyakulu be Israeli. Hushai mwababwira n’ebyo iye alyabahana.
16 Kandi mwabugha ati: “Muyire luba-luba, mutume omundu ayabwire Daudi ati, ‘Isiwasighala hakuhi n’ebisokero* by’omo mbwarara omo kiro kya munabwire. Ulue usoke olusi. Bite bitya, iwe mwami n’abandu baghu bosi imukenditibwa.’”*
17 Yonatani na Ahimaazi babya ibane e En-rogeli, neryo omughombe mukali mwayababwira ebiri, kusudi nabo bayabwire omwami Daudi. Byabya bitya, kundi Yonatani na Ahimaazi babya isibangayitswa eriyikangania omo muyi.
18 Aliwe omulwana mughuma mwabalangira, neryo amayabwira Absalomu. Neryo Yonatani na Ahimaazi mubalw’ibaluaho, mubayahika e Bahurimu ew’omulume mughuma oyo wabya n’eribulu omo kibugha kiwe. Mubayibisa omo ribulu eryo.
19 Omukali w’omulume oyo mwahira ekikuningo ky’oko buno bw’eribulu eryo, kandi mwanikako engano eyabiritwangwa. Muhatabya n’oyukaminya ngoko abandu babiribisama omo ribulu.
20 Abaghombe ba Absalomu babere babihika, mubabulya omukali oyo bati: “Ahimaazi na Yonatani bali hayi?” Omukali oyo mwasubrya ati: “Mubakalaba hakuhi na hano, bamalolera eyiri olusi.” Abaghombe ba Absalomu mubabarondya, aliwe mubatabasunga. Neryo mubasuba e Yerusalema.
21 Abaghombe ba Absalomu mubabya babighenda, Yonatani na Ahimaazi mubalua omo ribulu, bamayakanirya omwami Daudi y’ebiri. Mubamubwira bati: “Usoke olusi lo luba.” Kandi mubamubwira ebyo Ahitofeli abya akasonda erimukolera.
22 Aho n’aho, Daudi n’abandu biwe bosi mubayasoka e Yordani. Mubwasonda erikya abosi ibamabisoka e Yordani.
23 Ahitofeli mwabya abilangira ngoko sibetakwama erihano riwe, mwateghekania epunda, amasuba ewiwe omo muyi wiwe. Mwabya abikania n’ekihanda kiwe, amayihanika. Neryo mwahola, bamayamuta oho bata abotata-kulu biwe.
24 Oko mughulu oyo, Daudi mwaghenda e Mahanaimu, na Absalomu mwasoka e Yordani haghuma n’abasuda bosi be Israeli.
25 Absalomu mwayira Amasa mo mukulu w’abasuda omo mwanya wa Yoabu. Amasa abya mughala wa Abigaeli n’omulume Mwisraeli oyukahulawa mo Itra. Abigaeli abya mwali wa Naashi na mwali wa Zeruya mama wa Yoabu.
26 Absalomu n’abasuda be Israeli mubahira ekambi yabo omo kiharo kye Gileadi.
27 Daudi abere abinahika e Maanaimu, Shobu mughala wa Naashi owe Rama y’Abaamoni, Makiri mughala wa Amieli owe Lodebari, na Barzilai Omugileadi we Rogelimu
28 mubaleta esyongyingo, esyobase, ebindu by’eribumba, engano, ekisusu, efarine, engano eyisusire,* obuhoti, elantiye,* engano eyumire,
29 obuki, amateka, esyombuli, n’efromaje.* Mubaletera ebyosi ebyo byo Daudi n’abandu ababya haghuma naye batoke erirya kundi babya bakayibwira bati: “Butya abandu babirinogha, babirikwa enzala n’enyota omo mbwarara.”
