2 Pavuli paki, Davidi wangufumba Yehova+ kuti: “Kumbi ndiluti ku yimoza mwa matawuni ngaku Yuda?” Yehova wangumuka kuti: “Luta.” Davidi wangufumba so kuti: “Ndiluti nunkhu?” Iyu wangumuka kuti: “Ku Heburoni.”+
2 Sonu Davidi wanguluta kweniko limoza ndi awolu ŵaki ŵaŵi, Ahinowamu+ wa ku Yezereli ndipuso Abigelu+ yo wenga muwolu waku Nabala wa ku Karimeli.
3 Davidi wanguluta so ndi anthulumi wo wenga nawu,+ weyosi ndi a munyumba yaki ndipu anguchija ku Heburoni ndi mumatawuni ngaki ngapafupi.
4 Sonu anthulumi a ku Yuda anguza kwenuku ndipu angusankha* Davidi kuti waje fumu ya nyumba yaku Yuda.+
Yiwu angukambiya Davidi kuti: “Anthulumi a ku Yabeshi-giliyadi ndiwu anguŵika Sauli mumuwunda.”
5 Davidi wangutumiziya uthenga ŵanthu a ku Yabeshi-giliyadi ndipu wanguŵakambiya kuti: “Yehova wakutumbikeni pakuti mwaŵalongo chanju chambula kumala ambuyamwi a Sauli chifukwa mwaŵaŵika mumuwunda.+
6 Yehova wakulongoni chanju chambula kumala ndipuso waje wakugomezgeka kwaku yimwi. Ini nani ndikulongoningi wezi chifukwa cha vo mwachita.+
7 Sonu manja nginu ngaŵi nganthazi ndipuso muŵi achiganga, pakuti ambuyamwi a Sauli afwa, ndipu nyumba yaku Yuda yasankha* ini kuti ndije fumu yawu.”
8 Kweni Abineri+ mwana waku Nera, mura wa asilikali aku Sauli, wanguto Ishi-bosheti+ mwana waku Sauli ndipu wanguyambukiya nayu ku Mahanayimu.+
9 Iyu wangumuŵika kuja fumu ya ŵanthu a ku Giliyadi,+ ya Aashuri, ya ŵanthu a ku Yezereli,+ ya Aefurayemu,+ Abenjamini kweniso Ayisirayeli wosi.
10 Ishi-bosheti mwana waku Sauli wenga ndi vyaka 40 pa nyengu yo wanguja fumu ya ku Isirayeli, ndipu wangulamuliya kwa vyaka viŵi. Kweni nyumba yaku Yuda yalondonga Davidi.+
11 Nyengu yo* Davidi wangulamuliya nyumba yaku Yuda ku Heburoni, yenga vyaka 7 ndi myezi 6.+
12 Pati pajumpha nyengu, Abineri mwana waku Nera limoza ndi ateŵeti aku Ishi-bosheti mwana waku Sauli, angutuwaku ku Mahanayimu+ ndipu anguluta ku Gibiyoni.+
13 Yowabu+ mwana waku Zeruya+ ndi ateŵeti aku Davidi, nawu so anguluta kweniko ndipu angukumana nawu padamu la Gibiyoni. Gulu linyaki linguja kusirya linyaki la damu, ndipu linyaki linguja kusirya linyaki.
14 Sonu Abineri wangukambiya Yowabu kuti: “Anyamata yaŵa asoki ndipu apumani* pa masu pidu.” Yowabu wangukamba kuti: “Asoki.”
15 Yiwu angusoka ndi kuyambuka mwakukoliyana ndi chiŵerengeru chawu. Pa gulu laku Ishi-bosheti mwana waku Sauli, pangusankhika Abenjamini 12, ndipu pa ateŵeti aku Davidi, pangusankhika ŵanthu 12.
16 Weyosi wanguko mutu wa munyaki ndipuso wangugwaza munyaki mumphepeti mwa lufu, ndipu wosi anguwa ndi kufwa. Sonu malu ngenanga ngo nge ku Gibiyoni ngangudanika kuti Helikati-hazurimu.
17 Ndewu yeniyi yingukuwa ukongwa pa zuŵa ili ndipu pakumaliya paki, ateŵeti aku Davidi anguthereska Abineri ndi Ayisirayeli.
18 Sonu ŵana atatu aku Zeruya+ nawu ŵenga penipo, Yowabu,+ Abishayi+ ndi Asaheli.+ Asaheli watchimbiyanga ukongwa nge mbaŵa yo yitchimbiya pamteteti.
19 Asaheli wangutchimbiza Abineri ndipu wangupetuka cha kuluta kumaryi pamwenga kumazge kwaki pakulondo Abineri.
20 Abineri wati walereska kuvuli wangukamba kuti: “Asaheli, kumbi ndiwi.” Iyu wangumuka kuti, “Hinya, ndini.”
21 Pavuli paki, Abineri wangumukambiya kuti: “Petukiya kumaryi pamwenga kumazge kwaku ndipu uko yumoza mwa anyamata, uto chechosi cho umuzuwengi kuti chije chaku.” Kweni Asaheli wangukhumba cha kuleka kumutchimbiza.
22 Abineri wanguwerezapu so kukambiya Asaheli kuti: “Leka kunditchimbiza. Ukhumba kuti ndikubayi? Kumbi ndamuwonana nayu wuli mku waku Yowabu pa masu ndi pa masu?”
23 Kweni Asaheli wangukana kuleka kumutchimbiza. Sonu Abineri wangumugwaza palufu ndi kuchigumbu kwa mkondu,+ ndipu mkondu wo ungubukiya kumsana. Asaheli wanguwa pasi ndi kufwiya penipo. Weyosi yo wafikanga pamalu po Asaheli wangufwiya, wamanga dankha kwa kanyengu.
24 Sonu Yowabu ndi Abishayi anguluta kuchipenja Abineri. Lumwi lichisere angufika paphiri la Ama lo lilereskana ndi Giya panthowa yakuluta kuchipululu cha Gibiyoni.
25 Abenjamini anguwungana penapa pavuli paku Abineri. Yiwu angupanga gulu limoza ndipu anguma pachanya pa phiri linyaki.
26 Abineri wangudaniriziya Yowabu kuti: “Kumbi tilutirizgengi kubayana ndi lipanga? Kumbi uwona cha kuti vakutuwapu vaki viŵengi viheni ukongwa? Uŵakambiyengi nyengu wuli ŵanthu kuti aleki kutchimbiza abali ŵawu?”
27 Yowabu wati wavwa venivi, wangukamba kuti: “Ndilapizga mu zina laku Chiuta wamoyu ndipuso wauneneska, ukalekengi kukamba, ŵanthu yaŵa atingi alekengi cha kutchimbiza abali ŵawu mpaka mlenji.”
28 Sonu Yowabu wangumba mbata* ndipu ŵanthu wo anguleka kutchimbiza Ayisirayeli. Mwaviyo ndewu yingumaliya penipo.
29 Pavuli paki, Abineri ndi ŵanthu ŵaki angwenda kujumpha mu Araba.+ Yiwu anguyambuka Yorodani ndipu ayendanga mumalu ngakusendemuka. Pakumaliya paki angufika ku Mahanayimu.+
30 Yowabu wati waweku ko watchimbizanga Abineri, wanguwunganisa ŵanthu wosi pamoza. Pa ateŵeti wosi aku Davidi, ŵanthu 19 ndiwu angusoŵapu, kusazgapu so Asaheli.
31 Kweni ateŵeti aku Davidi anguthereska Abenjamini ndi ŵanthu aku Abineri, ndipu ŵanthu 360 pa ŵanthu ŵenaŵa angubayika.
32 Yiwu anguto Asaheli+ ndipu angumuŵika mumuwunda wa awisi wo we ku Betelehemu.+ Sonu Yowabu ndi ŵanthu ŵaki angwenda usiku wosi ndipu kuchicha angufika ku Heburoni.+
