14 1Nuko Yowabu mwene Seruya amenya ko umutima w'umwami wifuza Abusalomu. 2Yowabu yohereza intumwa i Tekowa, bazana umugore w'umunyabwenge. Aramubwira ati: “Ndakwinginze wigire nk'uwari mu kababaro: wambare imyambaro igaragaza akababaro, ntiwisīge amavuta, umeze nk'umugore umaze iminsi myinshi aririra uwapfuye. 3Ujye ku mwami, umubwire aya magambo.” Nuko Yowabu amushyira ayo magambo mu kanwa.
4Uwo mugore w'i Tekowa ageze ku mwami, yikubita hasi yubamye aramupfukamira, aravuga ati: “Mwami, ntabara!”
5Umwami aramubaza ati: “Wagize iki?” Aramusubiza ati: “Jye ndi umupfakazi; umugabo wanjye yarapfuye.
6Umugaragu wawe yari afite abahungu babiri. Barwaniye mu gasozi nta wo kubatandukanya, umwe yica undi. 7None umuryango wose wahagurukiye umugaragu wawe, uvuga uti: 'Tugaragurire uwishe mwene se, tumwice kubera mwene se yishe, dutsembe n'uwazungura.' Barashaka kuzimya akajisho kanjye kasigaye, ngo umugabo wanjye adasigarana izina cyangwa uzamuzungura ku isi.”
8Umwami abwira uwo mugore ati: “Isubirire iwanyu, nanjye nzaguha amabwiriza kubera wowe.”
9Uwo mugore w'i Tekowa abwira umwami ati: “Nyagasani mwami, icyo cyaha kibe kuri jye no ku rugo rwa data; naho umwami n'intebe ye ya cyami babe inzirakarengane.”
10Umwami aravuga ati: “Uzagira icyo akubwira wese, umunzanire, ntazongera kugukoraho.”
11Aravuga ati: “Ndakwinginze mwami, ibuka Data wawe, kugira ngo uhōrera uwapfuye atazongera kongera ku bwicanyi, umwana wanjye atarimbuka.” Aravuga ati: “Nk'uko Data wa twese ariho, nta musatsi n'umwe wo mu mutwe w'umwana wawe uzagwa hasi.” a a v11 Uhōrera uwapfuye yari uwo mu muryango washinzwe n'imigenzo kwica uwishe umuntu wo mu muryango we.
12Uwo mugore aravuga ati: “Ndakwinginze reka umugaragu wawe avugane ijambo na nyagasani mwami.” Aramusubiza ati: “Vuga.”
13Uwo mugore aravuga ati: “None se kuki wagambiriye ibi ku bantu ba Data wa twese? Uko ubivuze, umwami yiciraho iteka we ubwe, kuko atagaruye uwe yamennye.” 14Rwose tuzapfa, nk'amazi yamenekeye hasi adashobora kongera guhobererwa. Ariko Data wa twese ntabwo afata ubugingo, ahubwo ategura inzira kugira ngo uwamennywe adakomeza kuba kure ye. b b v14 Ndetse n'aha, Data wa twese agaragazwa ategura inzira zo kugarura uwamennywe mu rugo aho kumuvutsa ubugingo — ni wo mutima nyine ukurikirana buri wacitse akagarurwa kuri we. 15None naje kubwira ibi nyagasani mwami kuko abantu banteye ubwoba. Umugaragu wawe yaribwiye ati: Reka mbwire umwami; ahari yakwemera icyo umugaragu we amusaba. 16Ahari umwami azumva, akize umugaragu we mu kuboko kw'umuntu washakaga gukura jye n'umwana wanjye mu murage wa Data wa twese.'“ 17Umugaragu wawe yaribwiye ati: ‘Reka ijambo rya nyagasani mwami rimpe amahoro, kuko nyagasani mwami ameze nk'umumarayika wa Data wa twese, utandukanya icyiza n'ikibi. Data wawe abane nawe.’
18Umwami abwira uwo mugore ati: ‘Ntugahishe icyo nzakubaza cyose.’ Aravuga ati: ‘Nyagasani mwami nawe avuge.’
19Umwami aramubaza ati: ‘Mbese ibi byose byavuye ku kuboko kwa Yowabu?’ Uwo mugore aramusubiza ati: ‘Nk'uko uriho, nyagasani mwami, nta wushobora kugana iburyo cyangwa ibumoso ngo ave ku byo nyagasani mwami yavuze byose. Koko umugaragu wawe Yowabu ni we wambwirije; ni we washyize aya magambo yose mu kanwa k'umugaragu wawe.’
20Umugaragu wawe Yowabu yakoze atya kugira ngo ibintu bigaragare ukundi. Ariko nyagasani ni umunyabwenge nk'umumarayika wa Data wa twese, uzi ibiri mu gihugu byose.”
21Nuko umwami abwira Yowabu ati: “Byiza, nzabikora. Genda, ugaruze umusore Abusalomu.”
22Yowabu yikubita hasi yubamye, aramuramya, asabira umwami umugisha. Aravuga ati: “Uyu munsi umugaragu wawe amenye ko nagize ubuntu mu maso yawe, nyagasani mwami, kuko umwami yemeye icyo umugaragu we yamusabye.”
23Nuko Yowabu arahaguruka ajya i Geshuri, agarura Abusalomu i Yeruzalemu. 24Umwami aravuga ati: “Ajye ku rugo rwe, ariko ntazabone mu maso hanjye.” Nuko Abusalomu ajya ku rugo rwe, ntiyabona mu maso h'umwami. 25Muri Isiraheli yose nta muntu wari uhimbazwa kubera ubwiza nka Abusalomu; kuva mu bworo bw'ikirenge kugeza ku gahanga k'umutwe we, nta nenge yari afite. 26Buri gihe yogoshaga umutwe we—yawogoshaga buri mwaka, kuko wamuremereraga—apimaga umusatsi wo mu mutwe we: nk'ibiro bibiri n'igice hakurikijwe igipimo cya cyami. 27Abusalomu yabyaye abahungu batatu, n'umukobwa witwa Tamari. Yari umugore mwiza.
28Abusalomu amara i Yeruzalemu imyaka ibiri yuzuye atabona mu maso h'umwami. 29Abusalomu yohereza intumwa kuri Yowabu, yifuza ko amusabira ku mwami, ariko Yowabu yanga kuza iwe. Yongera kohereza ubwa kabiri, ariko Yowabu akomeza kwanga kuza. 30Abusalomu abwira abagaragu be ati: “Dore umurima wa Yowabu uteganye n'uwanjye, kandi afite ingano za bushoki aho. Nimugende mutwike.” Nuko abagaragu ba Abusalomu batwika uwo murima.
31Yowabu arahaguruka, ajya ku rugo rwa Abusalomu, aramubaza ati: “Kuki abagaragu bawe batwitse umurima wanjye?”
32Abusalomu asubiza Yowabu ati: “Nakoherereje ubutumwa nti: 'Ngwino hano, nkutume gusaba umwami impamvu nava i Geshuri—iyo nsigara yo byari byiza.' None reka mbone mu maso h'umwami; niba mfite icyaha, anyice.”
33Yowabu ajya ku mwami aramubwira. Umwami ahamagara Abusalomu, araza yunama yubamye imbere ye. Nuko umwami asoma Abusalomu.
