IziKronike 1 IziKronike 1-18 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Emva koko uDavide wawaxabela amaFilisti, wawoyisa, wayithimba iGati nemizi yayo esandleni samaFilisti.

2Wawaxabela uMowabhi; yaye amaMowabhi aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide abazisa izipho kuwo.

3uDavide wambulala uHadadezere, ukumkani waseTsobha, wada wesa eHamati, ekuyeni kwakhe ukubuzinzisa ubukumkani bakhe emlanjeni ongumEfrati.

4uDavide wathimba iwaka leenqwelo zokulwa, namawaka asixhenxe abamahashe, namashumi amabini amawaka omqikela;

5Xa ama-Aram ephuma eDamasko esiza kumnceda uHadadezere ukumkani waseSobha, uDavide wabulala ama-Aram angamashumi amabini anamabini amawaka.

6uDavide wamisa abalindi kwa-Aram; yaye amaSiriya aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide abazisa izipho kuwo. Ngoko uYehova wamkhusela uDavide naphi na apho wayesiya khona.

7uDavide wawathabatha amakhaka egolide awayekubakhonzi bakaHadadezere, wawazisa eYerusalem.

8uDavide wathabatha ubhedu oluninzi eTibhati naseKuna, imizi kaHadadezere, awathi uSolomon wenza ngayo ulwandle lobhedu, neintsika, nezinto zobhedu.

9Weva uToyu ukumkani waseHamati, ukuba uDavide uyixabele yonke impi kaHadadezere, ukumkani waseTsobha;

10Wathumela unyana wakhe uHadoram kuKumkani uDavide ukuba ambuze ukuphila kwakhe nokubulela ngenxa yokuba wayelwe noHadadizere waza wamoyisa; (ngokuba uHadadezere wasilwa neTou) eneempahla zeentlobo ngeentlobo zegolide, isilivere nobhedu.

11Kananjalo ukumkani uDavide wanyula uYehova, kunye nesilivere negolide abeyithabathe kuzo zonke ezo ntlanga; kumaEdom, nakuMowabhi, nakoonyana baka-Amon, nakumaFilisti, nakuAmaleki.

12Ngaphezu koko, uAbhishayi unyana kaTseruya wakwaEdom kwiNtlambo yeTyuwa wabulala ishumi elinesibhozo lamawaka.

13Wamisa abalindi kwaEdom; yaye onke amaEdom aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide. Ngoko uYehova wamkhusela uDavide naphi na apho wayesiya khona.

14uDavide ke walawula uSirayeli ephela, esenza ngokusesikweni nangobulungisa ebantwini bakhe bonke.

15uYowabhi, unyana kaTseruya, ubephethe umkhosi; noYehoshafati, unyana ka-Akiludi, umphathi;

16uTsadoki unyana ka-Ahitubhi, noAbhimeleki, unyana ka-Abhiyatare, babengababingeleli; uShavasha ubengunobhala;

17uBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada wayephethe amaKrete nePleti; yaye oonyana bakaDavide babeyintloko kakumkani.
