Samuwele wa Bobedi 20:1-26
20 Byalo, ke mo go na le morene mongwana wa go hlupa ye ba reng ke Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri wa Lebhenjamini. O yye a teya phalafala a re: “Rune a re wele ga mmušo wa Dafita, fote a go na so re nyoko se krayang ga morwayi wa Jese. Ye mongwana le ye mongwana a ye ga medimo* yage, lune Maisrayele!”
2 Mo a reyane, banna ka mokana ga bona ba Maisrayele ba lisetsa go latelela Dafita, ba latelela Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri; mara banna ba Juda ba yema le kgoši ya bona, go tlugisela nokeng ya Jorodane go segela Jerusalema.
3 Mo Dafita a segela ntlong yage ku Jerusalema, a tseya lesome (10) la batlabo bage bo ne a ba šiyye gore ba pasope ntlo a ba beya ga ntlo ye nngwana ga gore ba ba pasopiye. Ke mo a ba neya tsa go ja, mara aa yetsela nabo. Ba f’lo dula ba kwalediwwe go segela ba kgwa, ke mo ba phela nkare ke basadi ba gore ba kgwele ke banna le mo monna wa bona a kene a phela.
4 Byalo kgoši ya re ga Amasa: “Kgobaketsa banna ba Majuda ba tle ho gaka go soko fela kararo (3) ya matšatši, le wene o tle.”
5 Amasa a ya a kgobaketsa banna ba Majuda, mara yene a tla ka nthago ga nako yo ne ba mmeyele yona.
6 Ke mokane Dafita a re ga Abhišayi: “Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri a ka tla a ba kotsi go phala Abhsalomo. Tseya malata ya morena wago o mo lelekise gore a sa yi ga mitši ya gore yi pasopegiye, a re tšhabelela.”
7 Byalo, banna bo ne ba sepela le Jowabho, Makherete, Mapelethe le banna ka mokana ga bona ba go ba le matšhika ba mo šala nthago; ba tloga Jerusalema gore ba lelekise Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri.
8 Mo ba segela thina le letlapa le legolo la ku Ghibhiyoni, Amasa a ba gahlanetsa. Jowabho ke mo a yapere dikobo tsa go ya ntweng ka tsona, fote ne a tšhediye sabola ka teng ga sekhwama sa yona a yi hlomele mo masekeng. Mo a šutela ga Amasa, sabola yela ya wa.
9 Jowabho a re ga Amasa: “Ye wweru, o sa le gabutši?” Ke mokane Jowabho a tshwara makgakga ya Amasa ka letsogo la go ja a maka nkare o nyaka go mo khisa.
10 Amasa ke mo a sa bone sabola yo ne yi le letsogong la Jowabho, Jowabho a mo hlaba mo dimpeng mala yage ma kgotogela fase. Ke mo di sa nyake gore a mo hlabe fote; o mo hlabiye ga teya a mmolaya. Ke mokane Jowabho le bhuti wage Abhišayi ba lelekisa Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri.
11 Mosogana ye mongwana ga bo ne ba sepela le Jowabho a yema thoko gage a re: “Ye mongwana le ye mongwana ye a leng ka nthoko ga Jowabho le ye mongwana le ye mongwana wa gore ke wa Dafita, a latelele Jowabho!”
12 Nako yowa ka mokana ga yona Amasa ke mo a hlapela mading yage a le gare ga pata. Mo mosagana yela a bona gore batho ka mokana ga bona ba yema hone, a tlosa Amasa mone pateng. A mo kwala ka kobo, ka gore ke mo a di bona gore ye mongwana le ye mongwana mo a feta mone gage ne a yema.
13 Mo a fetsa go mo tlosa mone pateng, banna ka mokana ga bona ba latelela Jowabho gore ba lelekise Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri.
14 Šebha a feta dipolekeng tsa meloko ya Israyele ka mokana ga yona a ya Abele ya Bhethe-mayakha. Mabhikhiri ma kgobakana, le wona ma mo šala nthago.
15 Jowabho le banna bo ne a le nabo ba dukulugela Abele ya Bhethe-mayakha gore ba thogo mo tshwara, ba maka ndhundhuma ka santa gore ba thogo hlasela mutši wone ka gore mutši wone ke mo wo pasopegiye. Banna ka mokana ga bona bo ne ba na le Jowabho ke mo ba yepa lepharo lone gore ba le wise.
16 Mosadi wa gore o hlalefiye a yahlamela a le ku mutšing a re: “Theetselaneng lune banna, theetselaneng! Ke kgopela le botse Jowabho gore ke re, ‘Tlang mowa, ke kgopela go bolabola nago.’”
17 Byalo Jowabho a ya thina le mosadi yela, ke mokane mosadi yela a re gage: “Ke wene Jowabho?” Yene a re: “Eya ke nna.” Mo a reyane, mosadi yela a re gage: “Theetsela mantsu ya lelata lago.” Jowabho a re: “Ke theetsele.”
18 Mosadi yela a ya mahlong a re: “Ku botala ke mo ba re, ‘Mo batho ba nyaka go lukisa bothatha di nyaka ba kgopele mayele mutšing wa Abele.’
19 Ke yemela Maisrayele ya go loka ya gore fote ma bebiye. Wene o nyaka go fetsa ka mutši wa gore ba wo tseyela gedimo ku Israyele. Ke ntaba o nyaka go fetsa ka lefa la Jehova?”
20 Jowabho a fetola a re: “A ke di nagane tsa go fetsa ka mutši wowa.
21 A go ka mokgonone. Mara monna ye ba reng ke Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri wa go tšwa dithabeng tsa Eforayimi o jikele Kgoši Dafita. Mo o ka nneya monna yene ke nyoko tloga mo mutšing.” Mosadi yela a re ga Jowabho: “Re nyoko go bošela hlogo yage mo lepharong!”
22 Mosadi yela wa go hlalefa a napa a ya ga batho bala ka mokana ga bona, ba kopa hlogo ya Šebha morwayi wa Bhikhiri ba yi bošela Jowabho. Ke mokane Jowabho a teya phalafala, ba tloga mone mutšing, ye mongwana le ye mongwana a ya gaye gage; fote Jowabho a boyela ga kgoši ku Jerusalema.
23 Byalo, Jowabho ke mo a lawola masole ya Israyele ka mokana ga wona; Bhenaya morwayi wa Jehoyada yene ke mo a lawola Makherete le Mapelethe.
24 Adoramo ke mo a lawola bo ba gore ba ba gapeletsiye gore ba tle ba berekele kgoši; Jehošafate morwayi wa Ahiludi ke mo a ngwala dilo tso ne di makega.
25 Ševa ke mo go le mabhalane; Zadoke le Abhiyathara ke mo go le maprista.
26 Ira wa Lejayiri ke mo go le ye mongwana wa maprista ya Dafita.
