Dawidi arobanurwa kuba umwami wa Yuda

Dawidi abaza Data aho yoja, arungikwa i Heburoni, aho Yuda imusiga amavuta ngo abe umwami. Abuneri yimika umuhungu wa Sawuli ngo aganze uruhande rwo mu buraruko, maze inzu zompi zihurira ku kiziba c'i Gibeyoni. Irushanwa rihinduka ubwicanyi, kandi Abuneri yica atabishaka Asaheli, murumuna wa Yowabu yari umusore yihuta.

Igice 2.

Mu nyuma, Dawidi abaza Data wa twese ati: “Ndashobora kuduga nja mu kigwa kimwe muri ibigwa vya Yuda?” Data wa twese amwishura ati: “Duga.” Dawidi aramubaza ati: “Nje hehe?” Na we ati: “I Heburoni.”

Dawidi aduga yaja ng’aho ari kumwe n’abagore biwe babiri, Ahinowamu w’i Yezereyeli na Abigayili umupfakazi wa Nabali w’i Karumeli. Dawidi aduzana n’abantu biwe bari kumwe na we, umwe wese n’urugo rwiwe, maze baba mu bigwa vy’i Heburoni. Nuko abantu ba Yuda baraza, bafata Dawidi bamusiga amavuta ng’aho ngo abe umwami w’inzu ya Yuda. Babwira Dawidi yuko abantu b’i Yabeshi-Gileyadi ari bo bari bahambye Sauli. Arungika intumwa ku bantu b’i Yabeshi-Gileyadi, zivuga ziti: “Data wa twese abahezagire kubera uku kwitangira ineza mwagiriye databuja Sauli, mu kumuhamba. Ubu rero Data wa twese abagirire ineza n’ubwizigirwa; nanje nzobagirira neza kubera mwakoze iki kintu. Mugume mukomere kandi mugire umutima rugabo, kuko shobuja Sauli yapfuye, kandi inzu ya Yuda yansize amavuta ngo mbe umwami wabo.”

Abuneri agira Ishiboseti umwami wa Isiraheli

Ariko Abuneri mwene Neri, umukuru w’ingabo za Sauli, afata Ishiboseti mwene Sauli, amujana i Mahanayimu. Amugira umwami wa Gileyadi, ari na we w’Abashuri, ari na we wa Yezereyeli, ari na we wa Efurayimu, ari na we wa Benyamini—umwami wa Isiraheli yose. Ishiboseti mwene Sauli yari afise imyaka mirongo ine igihe abera umwami wa Isiraheli; ategeka imyaka ibiri. Ariko inzu ya Yuda yakurikira Dawidi. Dawidi yamaze imyaka indwi n’amezi atandatu ari umwami i Heburoni ategeka inzu ya Yuda.

Umuvukanyi arwana n’umuvukanyi i Gibeyoni

Abuneri mwene Neri, hamwe n’abasuku ba Ishiboseti mwene Sauli, bava i Mahanayimu baja i Gibeyoni. Yowabu mwene Seruya n’abasuku ba Dawidi na bo barasohoka, barahurira ku kidengeri c’i Gibeyoni—bamwe bicaye ku nkombe iyi, abandi ku nkombe iriya. Abuneri abwira Yowabu ati: “Reka abasore bahaguruke bakinire imbere yacu.” Yowabu ati: “Nibahaguruke.”

Nuko barahaguruka baraharura, abava kuri Benyamini na Ishiboseti mwene Sauli ari cumi na babiri, n’abava ku basuku ba Dawidi ari cumi na babiri. Umwe wese afata mugenzi we ku mutwe, acishamwo inkota mu mbavu ze, bagwana bose icarimwe. Ni co gituma ahantu ng’aho i Gibeyoni haciwe izina Helkati-Hazurimu. ^a Urugamba rwa uwo musi rwari rukaze cane; Abuneri n’abantu ba Isiraheli bagwa imbere y’abasuku ba Dawidi. Abahungu batatu ba Seruya bari ng’aho: Yowabu, Abishayi, na Asaheli—Asaheli yagira ubwangu bw’amaguru nk’ingeregere yo mw’ishamba. Arakurikira Abuneri, ntiyakata iburyo canke ibubamfu mu kumukurikira. Abuneri arakebuka ati: “Ni wewe Asaheli?” Na we ati: “Ni jewe.”

Abuneri aramubwira ati: “Kata iburyo canke ibubamfu, ufate umwe muri abo basore, witware ibikoresho vyiwe.” Ariko Asaheli yanka kureka kumukurikira. Abuneri yongera kubwira Asaheli ati: “Garuka. Kubera iki unkakaza ngo nkugwishe hasi? None noheza gute kuraba mu maso mwene so Yowabu?” Yanka gukata, nuko Abuneri amutera munda n’umutumba w’icumu ryiwe; rimusohokera inyuma. Agwa ng’aho, apfira aho nyene. Umuntu wese yashika ahagwiriye Asaheli akapfira, yarahagarara ntaje. Yowabu na Abishayi bakurikira Abuneri; izuba ritarenga bashika ku musozi wa Ama, hafi ya Giya mu nzira ija mu bugaragwa bw’i Gibeyoni. Abantu ba Benyamini bikusanya inyuma ya Abuneri, bagira umurwi umwe, bahagarara hejuru y’umusozi. Abuneri ahamagara Yowabu ati: “Inkota izokwama irigata gushika ryari? Ntuzi yuko ivyo bizorangira mu bwinoni? Kugeza ryari uzotegeka abantu ngo bareke gukurikira bene wabo?”

Yowabu ati: “Nk’uko Data wa twese ariho, iyo utavuga, abantu bari kuguma bakurikira bene wabo gushika mu gitondo.” Yowabu avuza inzamba; ingabo zose zirahagarara, ntizisubira gukurikira Isiraheli canke kurwana. Abuneri n’abantu biwe bagenda baca muri Araba iryo joro ryose, baca Yorodani, baca muri Bitironi yose, bashika i Mahanayimu.

Yowabu agaruka ava mu gukurikira Abuneri, akoranya ingabo zose, asanga abantu cumi n’icenda ba Dawidi babuze, ukuyemwo Asaheli. Ariko abasuku ba Dawidi bagwisha hasi abantu ba Benyamini amajana atatu na mirongo itandatu bari kumwe na Abuneri. Baratwara Asaheli, bamuhamba mu mva ya se i Betelehemu; Yowabu n’abantu biwe bagenda ijoro ryose, bashika i Heburoni mu museso.
