Oonyana baka-Amon babangcikiva abakhonzi bakaDavide

1Emveni koko wafa uNahashe ukumkani woonyana baka-Amon, unyana wakhe waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

2Wathi uDavide, Mandimenzele inceba uHanun unyana kaNahashe, njengokuba noyise wandenzela inceba. uDavide wathumela abathunywa ukuba baye kumthuthuzela ngenxa kayise. Bafika abakhonzi bakaDavide ezweni loonyana baka-Amon, uHanun, ukuba bamthuthuzele.

3Bathi abathetheli boonyana baka-Amon kuHanun, na wena ukuthi, Uyamhlonela na uyihlo uDavide, oko ethume abakhuzi kuwe? Abakhonzi bakhe abeze kuni na, ukuba balihlole ilizwe, ukuba balibhukuqe, balihlole?

4Ngoko uHanun wabathabatha abakhonzi bakaDavide waza wabacheba waza wasika izambatho zabo waza wanqunqa phakathi ukuya ngasemva waza wabandulula.

5Kwahamba abantu, bamxelela uDavide okwenziwe kuloo madoda. Wathumela ukuba ahlangatyezwe, kuba loo madoda ayehlazekile kakhulu. Wathi ukumkani, Hlalani eYeriko zide zihlume iindevu zenu, nandule ukubuya.

6Babona oonyana baka-Amon, ukuba benze amasikizi kuDavide, bathumela ke ooHanun noonyana baka-Amon kwa-Aram ephakathi kweMilambo, nakwa-Aram-maga, naseSobha, iwaka leetalente zesilivere, ukuba baqeshe iinqwelo zokulwa nabamahashe.

7Baziqeshela amashumi amathathu anamabini amawaka eenqwelo zokulwa, nokumkani waseMaga nabantu bakhe; abo bezayo bamisa ngaseMedebha. Bahlanganisana oonyana baka-Amon emizini yabo, beza kulwa.

8Akuva ke uDavide, wathumela uYowabhi nomkhosi wonke wamagorha.

9Baphuma oonyana baka-Amon, baya kulwa phambi kwesango lesixeko; ookumkani ababefikile babebodwa ezweni.

10Wabona uYowabhi ukuba imfazwe ingxamele kuye, ngaphambili nangasemva;

11Abaseleyo wabanikela esandleni sika-Abhishayi umkhuluwa wakhe; bagidima baya kubakhawulela oonyana baka-Amon.

12Wathi, Xa athe andifumana ama-Aram, wondinceda; kodwa ukuba oonyana baka-Amoni bomelele kunawe, ndiya kukunceda mna.

13Yiba nesibindi size sibe nesibindi ngenxa yohlanga lwethu nangenxa yezixeko zoThixo wethu, yaye ngamana uYehova enze okulungileyo emehlweni akhe.

14Weza uYowabhi namadoda abenaye kuma-Aram emfazweni; asaba ebusweni bakhe.

15Xa oonyana baka-Amoni babona ukuba ama-Aram asabile, nabo basaba phambi koAbhishayi umntakwabo baza bangena esixekweni. Wafika uYowabhi eYerusalem.

16Akubona ama-Aram ukuba anomsindo phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, athumela abathunywa, bawakhupha ama-Aram awayephesheya koMlambo; nguSofagus, umthetheli womkhosi kaHadadezere, ekhokele kuwo.

17Waxelelwa uDavide; wawahlanganisa onke amaSirayeli, wayiwela iYordan, wawaxabela, walwa nawo. Xa uDavide wawaxabelayo ama-Aram, aza amhlasela.

18Asaba ke ama-Aram phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli; uDavide wabulala kuma-Aram amawaka asixhenxe abaqhubi beenqwelo zokulwa, namashumi amane amawaka omqikela, waxabela noSofage, umthetheli womkhosi.

19Babona abakhonzi bakaHadadezere ukuba babevutha ngumsindo phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, baxolelana noDavide baza bamkhonza; ama-Aram akasayi kuba sabahlangula oonyana baka-Amon.
