Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra andũ acio a ita atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o na niĩ nĩngumagara hamwe na inyuĩ.”

³No andũ acio a ita makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndũkoimagare. Tũngĩũra-rĩ, matingĩrũmbũiya; na nuthu iitũ ĩngĩkua-rĩ, matingĩrũmbũiya. No wee ũiganaine na andũ ngiri ikũmi aitũ. Nĩ kaba ũikare itũũrainĩ, wĩhaarĩrie gũtũtũmĩra ũteithio.”

Agĩtũĩngwo gatagatĩ ka igũrũ na thĩ, nayo nyũmbũ ĩgĩthiĩ na mbere rungu rwake. ¹⁰Nake mũndũ ũmwe akĩona ũndũ ũcio, akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩno nĩndĩrona Abisalomu atũĩngĩtwo mũtĩinĩ wa mũgandi.”

¹¹Nake Joabu akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩũmuonire-ĩ! Nĩkĩ ũtaamũgũthire thĩ hau? Nĩingĩkũrĩhire mbeeca cia betha cia mũcaara wa mĩthenya ikũmi na mũcibi.”

¹²No mũndũ ũcio akĩĩra Joabu atĩrĩ, “O na mbeeca cia betha cia mũcaara wa mĩthenya ngiri ingĩthimĩirwo guokoinĩ gwakwa-rĩ, ndingĩambararia guoko gwakwa njũkĩrĩre mũrũ wa mũthamaki. Nĩgũkorwo ithuothe nĩtwaiguire mũthamaki agĩgwatha wee, na Abishai, na Itai, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Menyagĩrĩrai mwanake ũcio Abisalomu nĩ ũndũ wakwa.’ ¹³Kwaga ũguo-rĩ, nĩingĩeteire muoyo wakwa ũgathira, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ũndũ ũhithĩtwo mũthamaki, nawe nĩ ũngĩĩyeheranĩtie na niĩ.”

¹⁴Nake Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndikwĩte ihinda ngĩĩteterera hamwe nawe ũũ.” Akĩoya matĩmũ matatũ guokoinĩ gwake, akĩmatheeca ngoroinĩ ya Abisalomu arĩ o muoyo, arĩ gatagatĩinĩ ka mũtĩ ũcio wa mũgandi. ¹⁵Nao anake ikũmi, arĩa maakuuaga indo cia mbaara cia Joabu, makĩrigiicĩria Abisalomu, makĩmũgũtha, makĩmũũraga. ¹⁶Nake Joabu akĩhuha karumbeta, nao andũ a ita magĩtiga kũrũmĩrĩra Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo Joabu nĩamagirĩrĩirie. ¹⁷Nao makĩoya Abisalomu, makĩmũikia irima inene thĩinĩ wa mũtitũ, makĩmũhumbĩra na kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa mahiga. Nao andũ a Isiraeli oothe makĩũra, o mũndũ agĩthiĩ mũciĩ gwake.
