Samweli w’Akabiri 19:1-43
19 Habere habilaba mughulu mulebe, mubayabwira Yoabu ambu: “Omwami anemulira, anemulira Absalomu.”
2 Neryo ekiro ekyo, omo mwanya w’eritsema kundi mubakasinga, abasuda bosi mubalira kundi mubowa ngoko omwami anemulira mughala wiwe.
3 Abasuda mubasuba omo muyi omo bubiso-biso ng’abandu abalyahemuka babisingwa n’esyonzighu syabo.
4 Omwami mwaswika obusu bwiwe. Abya akalira omo mulenge muli ati: “Mughala waghe, Absalomu! Absalomu, mughala waghe, mughala waghe!”
5 Neryo Yoabu mwaya omo nyumba eyo mwami alimo, amamubwira ati: “Munabwire wamahemula abasuda baghu bosi abalyaleka ibatakwita, iwe,* abaghala* baghu, abali* baghu, abakali* baghu, n’abandi bakali* baghu.
6 Kwesi wanzire abakuponire n’eripona abakwanzire. Munabwire wamakangania ndeke-ndeke ngoko abakulu b’abasuda baghu n’abasuda baghu si kindu okw’iwe, kundi namalangira ngoko itwe bosi nga tulyahola neryo Absalomu iye musa iyowabyaho, ulyenditsema.”
7 Neryo uhangane, uyasikaye abasuda baghu b’omutima, kundi namalapa omo rina rya Yehova niti utetayayo, isihali n’omundu n’omughuma oyukendisighala naghu omo kiro kya munabwire. N’ekyo ikikendibya kibi ekikalire kulenga ebyosi ebyo wabirilolako eritsuka omo bulwana bwaghu.”
8 Neryo omwami mwahangana, amahika oko mulango w’omuyi. Mubayabwira abasuda bosi ambu: “Lino omwami anikere oko mulango w’omuyi.” Neryo abasuda bosi mubaya ahali omwami.
Aliwe abandi* Baisraeli babya ibabiritibita, obuli mundu iniabiriya ewiwe.
9 Abandu b’omo bihanda byosi bye Israeli babya bakakubanako obuhaka bati: “Omwami mwatulusya omo byala by’esyonzighu syetu kandi mwatulusya n’omo byala by’Abafilistini, aliwe Absalomu abirileka iniatibita.
10 Nikwa na Absalomu oyo twahirako amaghuta atoke eribya mwami wetu syabiriholera omo malwa. Neryo mukinalindaki eriyenda omwami?”
11 Omwami Daudi mwatumira omuhereri Zadoki n’omuhereri Abiatari y’omulaghe ono: “Mubwire abasyakulu be Yuda muti, ‘Si nabiryowa ngoko Abaisraeli banemubugha bati litolere omwami iniasuba ewiwe. Neryo n’inywe mukendibya b’omwiso eribugha muti omwami asube omo nyumba yiwe?
12 Muli baghala betu, muli b’oko kihanda kyaghe, neryo n’inywe mukendibya b’omwiso eribugha muti omwami asube ewiwe?’
13 Mukendibwira na Amasa muti, ‘S’uli w’oko kihanda kyaghe? OMungu ambe amalipizi awakalire namatendikuyira mo omukulu w’abasuda baghe munabwire omo mwanya wa Yoabu.’”
14 Ebinywa by’omwami Daudi mubyatula oko mutima w’abalume bosi be Yuda. Neryo abosi mubalighirana eritumira omwami omulaghe ono: “Usube eno iwe n’abaghombe baghu bosi.”
15 Neryo omwami mwasubula, amayahika oko Yordani. Abandu be Yuda mubaya e Gilgali eriyahindana n’omwami batoke erimusokya e Yordani.
16 Neryo Shimei mughala wa Gera, Omubenyamini we Bahurimu, mwandaghala luba-luba erisyahindana n’omwami Daudi, abya haghuma n’abalume be Yuda.
17 Abya n’abalume 1 000 be Benyamini. Na Ziba naye, omughombe w’omo kihanda kya Sauli mwandaghalira oko Yordani ko luba-luba eriyalindirira omwami. Abya n’abaghala biwe 15, n’abaghombe biwe 20.
18 Mwasoka ahali ekisokero atoke eriyawatikya ekihanda ky’omwami erisoka n’erikola ekyosi-kyosi ekyo mwami akendimusaba erikola. Aliwe omughulu omwami abya akasonda erisoka e Yordani, Shimei mughala wa Gera mwakukama embere siwe.
19 Mwabwira omwami ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, isiwanihirako ekosa, kandi isiwibuka ekibi ekyo nakukolera omughulu wabya ukalua e Yerusalema. Isiwahirakyo omo mutima,
20 kundi ingye mughombe waghu ninasi ngoko munahalya; kyo kyamaleka munabwire inabya w’erimbere w’omo kihanda kya Yozefu erisyakukokya iwe mukama kandi mwami waghe.”
21 Aho n’aho Abishai mughala wa Zeruya mwabugha ati: “S’ulangire ngoko Shimei atolere iniakwa; mwatsuma omundu oyo Yehova ahirako amaghuta.”
22 Aliwe Daudi mwabugha ati: “Baghala ba Zeruya, ebyo binabalebirye? Busanaki mukanza erikola ebyo nitalyabatswa? Sihali oyukenditibwa munabwire omo Israeli. Mukalengekanaya muti sinasi ngoko nabiritasyabya mwami we Israeli munabwire?”
23 Neryo omwami mwabwira Shimei ati: “Siwendihola.” Omwami mwamulapira ngoko syendihola.
24 Mefibosheti omwitsikulu wa Sauli naye mwandaghala akayakokya omwami, abya isyalyatasugha ebisando biwe kutse eritwa esyonderu* n’erifula esyongyimba siwe eritsuka ekiro omwami alua e Yerusalema erihika omughulu asubayo buholo.
25 Mefibosheti abere abihika e Yerusalema akayakokya omwami, omwami mwamubulya ati: “Mefibosheti, mutaghenda naghe busanaki?”
26 Mefibosheti mwabugha ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, omughombe waghe si mwaniteba, neryo kundi niri kirema munabugha niti, ‘Muniteghekaniraye epunda yaghe nisambire kuyo nighende n’omwami.’
27 Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, ebyo mughombe waghe alyanibughako ni mabehi. Aliwe kundi iwe mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe uli ng’omumalaika w’oMungu w’ekwenene, ukole ekyo ukendilangira mo kibuya.
28 Mukama waghe n’omwami waghe, wabya utolere eribughaho ekihanda kyosi kya baba waghe, aliwe muwanisombola ingye mughombe waghu nibye omo kati-kati k’abandu abakalira oko mesa yaghu. Hakine ekyo nangatasyasaba omwami?”
29 Aliwe omwami mwamubwira ati: “Sawa, namabyowa. Mungabugha niti iwe na Ziba mukendighaba amalima.”
30 Neryo Mefibosheti mwasubirya omwami ati: “Anganimya ebyosi, sinikitsomene ebindi, eky’omughaso okw’ingye ry’eribya iwe mwami waghe iwabirisuba omo nyumba yaghu mo buholo.”
31 Neryo Barzilai Omugileadi mwalua e Rogelimu atoke erikwamanisya omwami eriyahika oko Yordani.
32 Barzilai abya iniabiribya musyakulu bondu-bondu, abya n’emyaka 80, kandi abya muteke kutsibu. Omughulu omwami abya e Mahanaimu, mwamuletera akalyo.
33 Neryo omwami mwabulya Barzilai ati: “Soka haghuma naghe, ukendibya ukalira oko mesa yaghe e Yerusalema.”
34 Aliwe Barzilai mwasubirya omwami ati: “Kwe nikinawite ebiro bingahi, ekyangaleka inaya n’omwami e Yerusalema?
35 Yono namabiyira oko myaka 80. Nanganatasyaminya ekibuya n’ekibi? Kutse ingye mughombe waghu nanganatasyaminya obusi bw’akalyo kutse bw’obwabu? Kutse nanganatasyowa omulenge w’abalume abakimba kutse w’abakali abakimba? Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, ingye mughombe waghu sinanzire eribya muzigo okw’iwe.
36 Sinitolere ekihembo ekyo. Erikukwamanisya erihika oko Yordani, olo ni lusunzo lunene olunitosire.
37 Leka ingye mughombe waghu nisubule, niyaholere omo muyi waghe hakuhi n’aho bata baba waghe na mama waghe. Aliwe omughombe waghu Kimamu y’oyu. Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, umuleke asoke haghuma naghu, wanganamukolera ekyosi-kyosi ekyo wamalangira mo kibuya.”
38 Neryo omwami mwabwira Barzilai ati: “Ngasoka haghuma na Kimamu, ngendimukolera ekyo wamalangira mo kibuya. Ngendisyamukolera ekyo wamanisaba erimukolera.”
39 Neryo abandu bosi mubasoka e Yordani. Embere omwami asoke, mwaha Barzilai y’ebizu n’erimutsumula, Barzilai mwasuba ewiwe.
40 Omwami mwasoka, amayahika e Gilgali. Kimamu naye mwasoka haghuma naye. Abandu bosi be Yuda n’enusu y’abandu be Israeli mubaghenda n’omwami akasoka.
41 Neryo abandi balume be Israeli mubabulya omwami bati: “Busanaki abaghala betu, ni bugha ambu, abandu be Yuda mubakiba omwami wetu n’erimusokya e Yordani, iye, ekihanda kiwe, n’abandu biwe bosi?”
42 Abalume bosi be Yuda mubasubirya abalume be Israeli bati: “Ni kundi omwami ni w’okw’itwe. Mukahitana busanaki? Mumukowa ambu mwakanatuha akalyo kutse ambu mwakanatuha ekihembo?”
43 Nikwa abalume be Israeli mubasubirya abalume be Yuda bati: “Itwe tuli bihanda 10, neryo n’itwe twangakolera omwami y’emyatsi minene kulenga inywe. Mulyatupokaya busanaki? N’itwe tulyenditsuka eriyenda omwami.” Aliwe abalume be Yuda mubasinga abalume be Israeli omo buhaka obo.
