Kapitulu 18.

Dhavidhi agumanya anyankhondo ace, mbaikha atsogoleri a vikwi na atsogoleri a madzana padzulu pawo. Dhavidhi atuma anyankhondo: khundu yacitatu pantsi pa Yoabi, khundu yacitatu pantsi pa Abhisai mwana wa Zeruya, m'bale wa Yoabi, na khundu yacitatu pantsi pa Itai Mugiti. Mambo apanga anyankhondo kuti: “Ndimo mwene Inembo ndinabuluka pabodzi na imwe.”

Mbwenye anyankhondo alonga kuti: “Lekani kubuluka. Tingathawa, iwo nkhabe kutitsalakana; tingafa ife peka, iwo nkhabe kutitsalakana. Imwe ndimwe akufunika ninga vikwi khumi vya ife. Mphyadidi imwe mukhale mu nzinda, wakukhunganyika toera kutitumizira ciphedzo.”

Mambo aapanga kuti: “Ndinacita cinthu consene cinaoneka cadidi kuna imwe.” Na tenepo iye alimira pa nsuwo, mukhabuluka anyankhondo onsene mu madzana na mu vikwi.

Mambo apanga Yoabi, Abhisai, na Itai kuti: “Citani mwaufewi na nyamwali Abhisalomo, thangwi yanga.” Anyankhondo onsene abva mambo mukhapanga iye atsogoleri thangwi ya Abhisalomo.

Anyankhondo abuluka mbaenda ku munda toera kumenyana na Izarayeli, nkhondo mbicitika m'nsitu wa Efraimi. Penepo anyankhondo a Izarayeli akundwa na anyankhondo a Dhavidhi, kupha kukhali kukulu ntsiku ineyi: amuna vikwi makumi mawiri. Nkhondo yamwazika m'dziko yonsene, na n'situ waphamo anyankhondo azinji ntsiku ineyi kupiringana adaphiwa na supada.

Abhisalomo agumana na anyankhondo a Dhavidhi. Mukhakwira iye buru yace, apita pantsi pa nthambi zakudzadzala za muti ukulu wa karvalyu, mbaphatika nsolo wace mu muti. Alendzereka pakati pa kudzulu na pantsi, mukhapitiriza buru kuenda pantsi pace. Mamuna m'bodzi aona pyenepi mbapanga Yoabi kuti: “Ndaona Abhisalomo mbalendzereka mu muti wa karvalyu.”

Yoabi apanga mamuna ule ampanga kuti: “Natenepo wamuona! Thangwi yanji nee wamumenya mbagwa pantsi penepo? Mbadakupasa muhodo wa ntsiku khumi wa parata na nkhanda.”

Mbwenye mamuna apanga Yoabi kuti: “Napyapamwe mbapandusirwe m'manja mwanga malipo a ntsiku vikwi a parata, nee mbandakweza djanja yanga kwa mwana wa mambo. Thangwi ife tonsene tabva mambo mukhakupangani imwe, Abhisai, na Itai, kuti: ‘Koyani nyamwali Abhisalomo thangwi yanga.’ Mungakhonda tenepo, mbandataya umaso wanga, thangwi nkhabe cinthu cakubisika kuna mambo, na imwe mbamudalimira kutali na ine.”

Yoabi alonga kuti: “Nee ndinataya n'dzidzi na iwe tenepa.” Iye akwata madipa matatu m'djanja mwace, mbabaya n'tima wa Abhisalomo mukhali iye wamaso, n'kati mwa muti wa karvalyu. Na amuna khumi aphale, anyakuthukula pida pya nkhondo pya Yoabi, azungulira Abhisalomo, mbamumenya, mbampha. Yoabi aliza nyanga ya bira, na anyankhondo asiya kuthamangisa Izarayeli, thangwi Yoabi aakhondesa. Iwo akwata Abhisalomo, mbamuponya n'thenga ikulu m'nsitu, mbaunjikira mwala uzinji kakamwe padzulu pace. Izarayeli yonsene yathawa, m'bodzi na m'bodzi kuenda kunyumba kwace.

Mu umaso wace Abhisalomo akhadaimisa mphanda m'Gwatha ya Mambo, mbalonga kuti: “Nkhabe na mwana toera kukoya dzina yanga.” Iye apasa mphanda ineyi dzina yace, na isacemerwa Cikumbuso ca Abhisalomo mpaka lero. ^a

Dhavidhi Alira Mwana wace Abhisalomo

Ahimaazi mwana wa Zadhoki alonga kuti: “Ndisiyeni ndithamange toera kupanga mambo kuti Baba wathu amulungamisa kwa anyamalwa ace.”

Yoabi alonga kuti: “Iwe sidiwe mamuna wakupereka mphangwa lero. Unakwanisa kupereka mphangwa ntsiku inango, mbwenye lero nee unapereka cinthu, thangwi mwana wa mambo afa.”

Yoabi apanga Mukuxi kuti: “Ndoko, upange mambo pidaona iwe.” Mukuxi agodama kuna Yoabi mbathamanga.

Ahimaazi mwana wa Zadhoki apanga pontho Yoabi kuti: “Mphapo cifike cinafuna kufika, ndaphata miyendo ndisiyeni inembo ndithamange ndinseme Mukuxi.” Yoabi atawira kuti: “Thangwi yanji usafuna kuthamanga, mwananga? Nkhabe na mphangwa zakuthema nkhombo.”

Iye alonga kuti: “Cinacitika consene,” mbathimiza: “ndinathamanga.” Yoabi alonga kuti: “Thamanga.” Na tenepo Ahimaazi athamanga njira ya nthando, mbapiringana Mukuxi mukuthamanga.

Dhavidhi akhakhala pakati pa misuwo miwiri. Nyakuonera akwira padzulu pa nsuwo pa khoma, mbatsogolesa maso ace, mbaona mamuna mbakuthamanga ekha. Nyakuonera akhuwa, mbapanga mambo. Mambo alonga kuti: “Angakhala ekha, asabweresa mphangwa.” Nyakuthamanga apitiriza kufendedzera.

Nyakuonera aona mamuna unango mbakuthamanga, mbakhuwira nyakukoya nsuwo kuti: “Onani, mamuna unango mbakuthamanga ekha!” Mambo alonga kuti: “Iyembo asabweresa mphangwa.”

Nyakuonera alonga kuti: “Wakutoma asathamanga ninga Ahimaazi mwana wa Zadhoki.” Mambo alonga kuti: “Iye ndi mamuna wadidi; asabwera na mphangwa zadidi.”

Ahimaazi akhuwira mambo kuti: “Pyonsene pyadidi!” Iye agodama pamaso pa mambo, nkhope yace mpaka pantsi, mbalonga kuti: “Mbasimbwe Baba wanu, adapereka ale adapandukira mbuya wanga mambo.”

Mambo abvundza kuti: “Nyamwali Abhisalomo ali mwadidi?” Ahimaazi atawira kuti: “Mukhatuma Yoabi ntumiki wa mambo na ine ntumiki wanu, ndaona cidengwa cikulu, mbwenye nee ndadziwa kuti ndi cinyi.”

Mambo alonga kuti: “Khambukira pambali ulimire pano.” Na tenepo iye akhambukira pambali, mbalimira dete.

Mukuxi afika mbalonga kuti: “Mphangwa zadidi, mbuya wanga mambo! Lero Mbuya akupulumusani m'manja mwa onsene adakupandukirani.”

Mambo abvundza Mukuxi kuti: “Nyamwali Abhisalomo ali mwadidi?” Mukuxi atawira kuti: “Anyamalwa a mbuya wanga mambo, na onsene analimira kupokana na imwe toera kukupweteka, mbakhale ninga nyamwali ule.”

Mambo akakamuka. Iye akwira m'cipinda cakudzulu ca nsuwo, mbalira, mbalonga mukhafamba iye: “Mwananga Abhisalomo! Mwananga, mwananga, Abhisalomo! Mbudakhala kuti ndafa ine m'mbuto mwako, Abhisalomo, mwananga, mwananga!”
