Hwafumiye aje hwieneo lyalila hwali wabhomba efujo itawa lyakwe yo Sheba mwana wa Bikri Mbenjamini. Akhomile etarumbeta naje, "Ate setili ne sehemu hwa Daudi, wala setili no ulithi hwa mwana wa Yese. Na kila muntu na abhale akhanya yakwe, hu Israeli."
2
Shesho abhantu bhonti bhe Israeli bhaleha oDaudi na hulondolele oSheba omwana wa Bikiri. Lakini abhantu bha Yuda bhahalondolela omwene hupepe tee afume hu Yordani idala lyonti hadi hu Yelusalemu.
3
O Daudi ahafiha hu kasri yakwe ohwo hu Yelusalemu, ahabhega ahawala bhabhali alisonje ikasri, na na abhabheha munyumba pansi ye wenyeezi. Abhalenganyizya amahitaji gabho lakini sagagonile nabho nantele. Hivyo walikuwa wametengwa hadi siku ya kufa kwao, waliishi kama wajane.
4
Pamande omwene ahabhozya oAmasa, "Obhakwizye abhantu bhe Yuda mhati ye nsiku zitatu; awe pia obhanje epo."
5
Shesho oAmasa ahabhala abhalishe abhantu bhonti bhe Yuda hu pandwemo, lakini atumiye omuda otali ahumwalishe omwene shati abhozezye.
6
Shesho oDaudi ahabhozya oAbishai, "Esalezi oSheba omwana wa Bikiri anzatiibhombele amadara tee ashile oAbsalomu. Ega aboyi bha gosi waho, asikari bhane, obhalondolele bhasije bhaginjila hu mji ne ngome natitoloshe."
7
Ndipo abhantu bhe Yoabu bhaha londolela, pandwemo na Bhakerethi na Bhapelethi na bhidaandi bhonti bhonti bhahafuma hu Yelusalemu aje ahulondole oSheba omwana wa Bikri.
8
Wabhafiha hwiwe igosi lyalili hu Gibeoni, oAmasa ahenza abhalaki. O Yoabu ali akwete esilaha yibho yaali akwete, ali pia ni panga lyalyali lipinyilwe no kanda msana gwakwe. Kadiri shahendeleye hwitazi okanda gwalagaha.
9
Shesho oYoabu abhozya oAmasa, "Oli mwinza vyala wane?" Hu taratibu oYoabu ahakhata eshilevu sha Amasa hu khono gwakwe gwe ndelo aje abusu.
10
O Amasa sagamenye aje ali na jambia mkhono gwe mongo ogwa Yoabu. O Yoabu ahalasa oAmasa muvianda ne vianda vyakwe vyalagaha pansi. Wala oYoabu sagaakhomile nantele oAmasa ahafwa. Shesho oYoabu oAbiye oholo wakwe bhafuata oSheba omwana wa Bikri.
11
Pamande omo wa Yoabu ahemelela panshenje ya Amasa wope ahaga, "Wali oupande wa Yoabu na wali oupande wa Daudi na alondolele oYoabu."
12
O Amasa abha aunguha hwi danda lyakwe pahati yidara. Omuntu ola lwalola aje abhantu bhaonti bhemeleye, ahanyemla oAmasa na hubheshe mgonda panshenje yi daala ahataga omwenda panshenje yi daala ahataga omwenda pamwanya yakwe afuatanaje alolile shila omo wali ayemeleye pala.
13
O Amasa nabhamwefwa mwidala abhantu bhonti bhalondolela oYoabu hulondolele oSheba omwana wa Bikri.
14
O Sheba ahazishila ekabela zyonti zye Israeli mpaka oAbeli wa Beth Maaka, na hunsi yonti ye Berite hwa bhahwibhongenye pandwemo pia na hulondole oSheba.
15
Bhamweje na huziongole ohwo oAbeli wa Beth Maaka. Bhazenjela eburaji ye ya nankanye omji okhosi ye lubhomba. Ijeshi lyonti lyalyali pandwemo no Yoabu lya gonganya olubhomba aje lugwe.
16
Oshe omwerevu ahakhoma ibwago afuem mhati ye mji, Omvwa, Yoabu, nafu tejezya zubhila peepe nane aje enjanje nawe."
17
O Yoabu ahazubhila, oshe abhozya, "Aje awe we Yoabu? Ahagomola, "nene." oshe ahabhozya tejezya amazu ga boyi waho." Agomola, "Etejezya."
18
Ndipo ahayanga,"Lula amwaha yayangwilwe, 'Bila shaka anzaji oushauri ohwo Aberi,' na aje oushauli owo ubhadumule enongwa.
19
Ate tili mji gwaguli mhati ye miji gagali ni lwomi no waminifu tee mu Israeli. Mhwanza anankanye omji ambago yi nyina we Israeli. Yeenu mhwanza auile ougali wa Ngolobhe?"
20
O Yoabu ahagomola naje, "Mubhe hutali, nane hata emile au anankanye.
21
Eyo se yooli. Lakini omuntu afume hunsi yi gamba lye Efirahimu, wahwetwa Sheba omwana wa Bikri, abhosezye amakhono shingunga sha mwene, shingunga sha Daudi. Mwefwi omwene nane embaguleshe omji." Oshe ola abhozya oYoabu, "'Obhalusiwe itwe lyakwe afume pamwanya ye lubhomba."
22
Oshe ola abhabhaliha abhantu bhonti bhe mji hu heshima yakwe. Bhahefwa itwe lya Sheba omwana wa Bikiri na huponyezye oYoabu epo ahakhoma etarumbeta na bhatu bha Yoabu bhahaguleha omji shila muntu akhaya yakwe. Na oYoabu ahawela hu Yelusalemu hwa mwene.
23
O Yoabu ali pamwanya yi jeshi lyonti lye Israeli no Benaya omwana wa Yehoiada ali pamwanya ye Wakerethi na Bhapelethi.
24
Adoramu ali pamwanya ya bhantu bhabhabhombile embombo ye shokoa na oYehoshafati omwana wa Ahiludi ali wakombosye.
25
O Sheva ali mwandishi, no Sadoki no Abiathari bhali bha dimi.
26
O Ira we Yairi ali hudumu gosi wa Daudi.
