2 Omughulu Daudi abya e Hebroni, mwabutirayo abana b’obulume. Akambere kiwe kabya Amnoni, akabuta oko Ahinoamu we Yezreeli.
3 Omwana wiwe w’akabiri abya Kileabu, amubuta oko Abigaeli omukwa-kali, oyo wabya mukali wa Nabali Omunya Karmeli. Ow’akasatu abya Absalomu, amubuta oko Maaka, mwali wa Talmai, omwami we Geshuri.
4 Ow’akani abya Adonia, amubuta oko Hagiti. Ow’akatano abya Shefatia, amubuta oko Abitali.
5 Owe 6 abya Itreamu, amubuta oko Egla, oghundi mukali wa Daudi. Abo bo bana abo Daudi abutira e Hebroni.
6 Omughulu amalwa omo kati-kati k’abandu b’ekihanda kya Sauli n’ab’omo kihanda kya Daudi abya akalola embere, Abneri mwalola embere eribya n’akaghala omo kihanda kya Sauli.
7 Sauli abya n’oghundi mukali, oyo wabya akahulwa mo Rizpa. Abya mwali wa Aiya. Habere habilaba mughulu mulebe, Ish-bosheti mwabulya Abneri ati: “Busanaki mukaghotsera n’oghundi mukali wa baba waghe?”
8 Abneri mwahitana kutsibu busana n’ebinywa bya Ish-bosheti, neryo mwabugha ati: “Ukanilangira mo mutwe w’embwa w’omo kihugho kye Yuda kwe? Biro byosi ngabya inine mutaleghula oko kihanda kya baba waghu Sauli, n’oko baghala babo n’abira biwe. Sindinatakuhira omo byala bya Daudi, aliwe munabwire uti nabirikola ekosa n’omukali.
9 OMungu ambe amalipizi awakalire namatendikolera Daudi ekyo Yehova abirilapa erimukolera.
10 Abirimulagha erilusya obwami omo kihanda kya Sauli n’eriyira Daudi mo mwami we Israeli ne Yuda, eritsuka e Dani eriyahika e Beeri-sheba.”
11 Neryo Ish-bosheti mwabula eky’eribwira Abneri, kundi mwamusagha.
12 Abneri mwalw’iniatuma abandu ati bayabwire Daudi bati: “Unasi ekihugho kino nga ni kyandi?” Mwatasyabugha ati: “Ukole endaghane haghuma naghe, naghe ngendikola ekyosi-kyosi ekyo nangatoka nitoke erihira Abaisraeli bosi b’oko luhande lwaghu.”
13 Daudi mwamusubirya ati: “Kyuwene! Ngendikola endaghane haghuma naghu, aliwe ekyo ngakusaba kisa kya kino: Omughulu ukendisyanibana, iwaniletera Mikali, mwali wa Sauli. Wamatendikola utya, isiwanatapima erihika eyo niri.”
14 Enyuma sy’aho, Daudi mwatuma abandu ati bayabwire Ish-bosheti, mughala wa Sauli, ati: “Umbe omukali waghe, ye Mikali, oyo natahaya oko syongobi 100 esyabya siswikire obusoni bw’Abafilistini.”
15 Neryo Ish-bosheti mwatuma abandu bayende Mikali alue eyiri omulume wiwe ye Paltieli, mughala wa Laishi.
16 Aliwe omulume wiwe mwamukwamanisya inianemulira, mwayahika e Bahurimu inianemumukwamanisya. Babere babihika e Bahurimu, Abneri mwamubwira ati: “Suba ewaghu!” Neryo mwasuba ewiwe.
17 Oko mughulu oyo, Abneri mwatuma omulaghe ono oko basyakulu be Israeli: “Muhanabya omughulu mumwanza eriyira Daudi mo mwami wenyu.
18 Neryo mukole ekyo kyo lino kundi Yehova mwabwira Daudi ati, ‘Ngendisyasabula abandu baghe be Israeli omo byala by’Abafilistini n’eby’esyonzighu syabo syosi erilabira iwe mughombe waghe Daudi.’”
19 Neryo Abneri mwakania n’Ababenyamini. Enyuma sy’aho, mwayakania na Daudi iniane iyuwene e Hebroni, mwamubwira ebyo babirilighirana iye ne Israeli n’ekihanda kya Benyamini.
20 Omughulu Abneri n’abalume biwe 20 bahika e Hebroni, Daudi mwabakolera efete.
21 Neryo Abneri mwabwira Daudi ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, leka nighende niyahindanaye Abaisraeli bosi batoke eribya oko luhande lwaghu, kusudi bakole endaghane haghuma naghu. Ukenditabala ekyosi-kyosi ekyo wanzire.” Neryo Daudi mwaleka Abneri aghende buholo.
22 Oko ndambi eyo nyisa-nyisa, Yoabu n’abasuda ba Daudi mubalua omo malwa. Mubaleta ebindu binene ebyo balyanyegha. Abneri abya isyakiri haghuma na Daudi e Hebroni, kundi Daudi abya iniabirimuleka aghende buholo.
23 Omughulu Yoabu n’abasuda bosi bahika, omundu mwabwira Yoabu ati Abneri mughala wa Neri mwakasyabana omwami, kandi mwamubwira ati omwami abirimuleka aghende buholo.
24 Neryo Yoabu mwingira omuli omwami n’erimubwira ati: “Kwe lero mughukakolaki? Abneri mwakahika hano, neryo naghu mukamuleka asubule buholo! Busanaki mukayira utya?
25 Unasi Abneri mughala wa Neri yo ndeke, alyasyakuteba. Alyasyalebaya ebyosi ebyo ukakola.”
26 Neryo Yoabu mwalua ahali Daudi, amatuma abandu bayende Abneri, neryo abandu abo mubeya Abneri hakuhi n’ekyuna ky’amaghetse kye Sira, bamamusubulya; aliwe Daudi abya isyasi oko mwatsi oyo.
27 Abneri mwabya abisuba e Hebroni, Yoabu mwamuhengeka omo mulango w’omuyi batoke erikania ibo babiri. Aliwe ibane aho, mwamutsimita omo nda omo muyali, neryo Abneri amahola. Yoabu kwita atya Abneri, kundi Abneri naye mwita* Asaheli mughala wabo Yoabu.
28 Daudi mwabya abyowa ebyo Yoabu alyakola, mwabugha ati: “Yehova isyahira omusasi wa Abneri mughala wa Neri oko mutwe waghe n’obwami bwaghe kera na kera.
29 Olubanza olo lubye oko mutwe wa Yoabu n’oko bosi b’omo nyumba ya baba wiwe. Mughulu wosi, omo kihanda kya Yoabu mukendisyabya mukabya abalume abakaluamo omutsafu omo bitsuko byabo by’olubuto, abahagha, abalume abakakolesaya akati k’erilingirako esyouzi,* abalume abakahola omo muyali, n’abalume abakabula akalyo.”
30 Neryo Yoabu na Abishai, omughala wabo, mubita Abneri, kundi mwita Asaheli mughala wabo omo malwa we Gibeoni.
31 Enyuma sy’aho, Daudi mwabwira Yoabu n’abandu bosi ababya haghuma naye ati: “Mutule esyongyimba syenyu, mwambale esyongyimba sy’esaki, mulire Abneri.” Omwami Daudi iyuwene-wene abya iniane enyuma sy’abahekire akakingo akaliko ekinda kya Abneri.
32 Mubata Abneri e Hebroni. Omwami mwalirira ahali eyisinda ya Abneri ho kutsibu, n’abandu bosi mubalira.
33 Enyuma sy’aho, omwami mwimba olwimbo luno lw’ekiriro busana na Abneri, mwimba ati:
“Abneri anganahola atya ng’ekikiru kwe?
34 Ebyala byaghu mubitabohwa,N’ebisando byaghu sibyabya omo minyororo.*
Aliwe mukahola ng’omundu oyulitawa n’ababandi.”*
Abandu bosi mubabya babyowa ebinywa ebyo, bamatasyalira kutsibu.
35 Habere habilaba mughulu mulebe isibwebwira, abandu bosi mubaletera Daudi y’emikati batoke erimukirania,* aliwe Daudi mwalapa ati: “OMungu ambe amalipizi awakalire namabirya omukati kutse ekindi kindu kyosi-kyosi embere eryuba rilenge.”
36 Abosi mubalangira ekyo omwami alyakola, mubatsemera ekyo ngoko babya bakatsemera ebyosi ebyo mwami abya akakola.
37 Neryo ekiro ekyo, abasuda bosi ba Daudi n’abandi Baisraeli bosi mubaminya ngoko Daudi y’utalyita Abneri, mughala wa Neri.
38 Neryo omwami mwabwira abasuda biwe ati: “Simwasi ngoko oyulyahola omo Israeli mo munabwire alue mukulu kandi seghu-seghu?
39 Nabirihirwako amaghuta nitoke eribya mwami, aliwe munabwire bwahweremo. Abalume aba, abaghala ba Zeruya, sibaniuwenie. Yehova ahe omubi y’amalipizi erikwamana n’ebibi ebyo alyakola.”
