17 ¹Ndipo Ahitofele anati kwa Abisalomu, “Ndiloleni ndisankhe anthu 12,000, ndipo ndinyamuke usiku uno kumtsata Davide. ²Ndidzamuthira nkhondo pamene watopa ndi wofooka, ndipo ndidzamuchititsa mantha; ndiye anthu ake onse adzathawa; ndipo ndidzakantha mfumu yokha. ³Ndidzabweretsa anthu onse kwa inu. Munthu amene mukumufuna, imfa yake ikutanthauza kuti aliyense abwerera, ndipo anthu onse adzakhala pa mtendere.”

⁴Chingaliro ichi chinaoneka chabwino kwa Abisalomu ndi kwa akuluakulu onse a Israeli. ⁵Abisalomu anati, “Itanani Husai Mwariki nayenso, ndipo timve chimene iye akunenanso.”

⁶Pamene Husai anafika kwa iye, Abisalomu anati, “Ahitofele walangiza izi. Kodi tichite chimene iye akunena? Ngati sichoncho, iwe nena.”

⁷Husai anati kwa Abisalomu, “Uphungu umene Ahitofele wapereka si wabwino pa nthawi ino. ⁸Husai anawonjezera nati, “Mukumudziwa abambo anu ndi anthu awo, asilikali ankhondo oopsa, ngati chimbalangondo cholandidwa ana ake kuthengo. Abambo anu ndi munthu wodziwa bwino nkhondo; sadzagona pamodzi ndi asilikali.” ⁹Ngakhale tsopano iwo abisala m'dzenje kapena pena pake. Ngati ena a anthu anu agwa poyamba, aliyense amene adzamve adzati, ‘Anthu a Abisalomu aphedwa!’ ¹⁰Ndiye ngakhale wolimba mtima koposa, amene mtima wake uli ngati mtima wa mkango, adzasungunuka ndi mantha, chifukwa Israeli yonse akudziwa kuti abambo anu ndi msilikali, ndipo amene ali nawo ndi olimba mtima. ¹¹Choncho uphungu wanga ndi uwu: sonkhanitsani Israeli yonse kwa inu, kuyambira Dani mpaka Beeriseba, ochuluka ngati mchenga wa m'mbali mwa nyanja, ndipo inu nokha mupite kunkhondo. ¹²Tidzamupeza iye kulikonse kumene ali, ndipo tidzamugwera ngati mame pa nthaka, ndipo sitidzasiya ndi moyo iye kapena mmodzi wa anthu ake. ¹³Ngati iye abwerera m'mudzi, Israeli yonse idzabweretsa kumeneko zingwe, ndipo tidzaukokera m'chigwa mpaka pasatsale ngakhale kamwala.”

¹⁴Abisalomu ndi anthu onse a Israeli anati, “Uphungu wa Husai Mwariki ndi wabwino kuposa wa Ahitofele.” Pakuti Atate wathu anali atatsimikiza kugonjetsa uphungu wabwino wa Ahitofele, kuti Atate wathu abweretse tsoka pa Abisalomu.

¹⁵Husai anawuza ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, “Umu ndi mmene Ahitofele analangizira Abisalomu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli, ndipo umu ndi mmene inenso ndalangizira. ¹⁶Tsopano tumizani uthenga msanga kwa Davide: ‘Musagone usiku uno pa madooko a m'chipululu; wolokani ndithu, mukapanda kutero mfumu ndi anthu onse amene ali nayo adzamezedwa.’”

¹⁷Yonatani ndi Ahimaazi anadikira ku Eni-rogeli; mtsikana wantchito ankapita nawawuza, ndipo iwo ankapita nawuza mfumu Davide, pakuti sakanatha kuonekera akulowa mu mzinda. ¹⁸Koma mnyamata wina anawaona nawuza Abisalomu. Choncho awiriwo anachita changu napita, nafika pa nyumba ya munthu wina ku Bahurimu, amene anali ndi chitsime m'bwalo lake, ndipo iwo anatsikira m'kati mwake. ¹⁹Mkazi wa munthuyo anayala chophimba pa pakamwa pa chitsime, nawaza tirigu pamwamba pake, kotero kuti palibe chinaonekera. ²⁰Pamene antchito a Abisalomu anafika kwa mkaziyo pa nyumba, anafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Ahimaazi ndi Yonatani?” Mkaziyo anati, “Awoloka mtsinje.” Anthuwo anafunafuna, osapeza wina aliyense, nabwerera ku Yerusalemu.

²¹Atachoka iwo, awiriwo anatuluka m'chitsime, napita nakawuza mfumu Davide. Anati kwa iye, “Nyamukani, wolokani madzi msanga, pakuti Ahitofele wakonzekera izi kutsutsana nanu.”

²²Choncho Davide ndi aliyense amene anali naye anayamuka, nawoloka Yorodani. Kutacha, panalibe ngakhale mmodzi amene anatsala osawoloka.

²³Pamene Ahitofele anaona kuti uphungu wake sunatsatidwe, anamanga chishalo pa bulu wake, napita kwawo ku mudzi wake. Anakonza nyumba yake, kenako nadzimangirira. Anafa, naikidwa m'manda a abambo ake.

²⁴Davide anafika ku Mahanaimu, pamene Abisalomu anawoloka Yorodani ndi anthu onse a Israeli pamodzi naye. ²⁵Abisalomu anaika Amasa pa gulu lankhondo m'malo mwa Yowabu. Abambo a Amasa anali Itira Mwisraeli, amene anakwatira Abigaili mwana wa Nahasi, mlongo wa Zeruya, amene anali amayi a Yowabu. ²⁶Israeli ndi Abisalomu anamanga misasa m'dziko la Giliyadi.

²⁷Pamene Davide anafika ku Mahanaimu, Sobi mwana wa Nahasi wochokera ku Raba wa Aamoni, Makiri mwana wa Amieli wochokera ku Lo-debara, ndi Barizilai Mgiliyadi wochokera ku Rogelimu, ²⁸anabweretsa makama, mbale, ndi ziwiya zadothi, pamodzi ndi tirigu, balere, ufa, tirigu wokazinga, nyemba, mphodza, ²⁹uchi, chambiko, nkhosa, ndi tchizi wochokera ku gulu la ng'ombe, kuti Davide ndi anthu ake adye, pakuti anati, “Anthu ali ndi njala, atopa, ndiponso ali ndi ludzu m'chipululu.”
