¹Zvino shure kwaizvozvo Abhusaromu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi wakange ane hanzvadzi yakanaka, yainzi Tamari; Amunoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi akamuda.

¹Markaasaa Absaaloom ina Daa'uud wuxuu lahaa gabadh walaashiis ah oo suurad qurxoon, oo magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Taamaar; oo Amnoon oo ahaa ina Daa'uud ayaa caashaqay.

²Amunoni akatambudzika, akarwara pamusoro paTamari hanzvadzi yake; nekuti yakanga iri mhandara, Amunoni akaona kuti haangamuiti chinhu.

²Oo Amnoon ayaa u dhibtooday oo u bukooday walaashiis Taamaar, waayo, iyadu bikrad bay ahayd; Amnoonna dhib bay la noqotay inuu wax ku sameeyo.

³Asi Amunoni wakange ane shamwari, yainzi Jonadhabhu mwanakomana waShimei, mukoma waDhavhidhi; zvino Jonadhabhu wakange ari munhu waiva namano.

³Laakiinse Amnoon wuxuu lahaa saaxiib, magiciisa la odhan jiray Yoonaadaab, oo uu dhalay Shimcaah oo ahaa Daa'uud walaalkiis; oo Yoonaadaabna nin sir badan buu ahaa.

⁴Iye akati kwaari, Nhandi, mwanakomana wamambo, wakawondereiko kudai mazuva ose? Haungandiudzi here? Amunoni akati kwaari, Ndinoda Tamari, hanzvadzi yomunin'ina wangu Abhusaromu.

⁴Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ina boqorow, maxaad maalinba maalinta ka dambaysa sidan ugu caatoobaysaa? War maad ii sheegtid? Kolkaasaa Amnoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan caashaqay Taamaar oo ah walaalkay Absaaloom walaashiis.

⁵Jonadhabhu akati kwaari, Vata panhovo dzako, uzviite somunhu unorwara; zvino kana baba vako vakasvika kuzokuona, uti kwavari, Ndinokumbira kuti hanzvadzi yangu Tamari auye, andipe zvokudya, ndidye, agadzire zvokudya pamberi pangu, ndizviwone, ndizvidye pamaoko ake.

⁵Markaasaa Yoonaadaab ku yidhi, Sariirtaada ku jiifso oo iska dhig sidii mid buka, oo markii aabbahaa kuu yimaado, waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Waan ku baryayaaye walaashay Taamaar ha ii timaado, oo cunto ha i siiso, oo cuntadana hortayda ha ku samayso, aan iska fiirsadee, oo aan gacanteedana ku cunee.

⁶Naizvozvo Amunoni akavata pasi, akazviita somunhu unorwara; zvino mambo wakati achisvika kuzomuona, Amunoni akati kuna mambo, Ndinokumbira kuti Tamari, hanzvadzi yangu auye, andibikire zvingwa zviviri ndichizviona, kuti ndidye pamaoko ake.

⁶Sidaas daraaddeed Amnoon wuu jiifay, oo wuxuu iska dhigay sidii mid buka, oo markii boqorkii u yimid ayaa Amnoon boqorkii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye walaashay Taamaar ha ii timaado, oo hortayda ha iigu samayso laba xabbadood oo moofa ah, oo aan gacanteeda ku cunee.

⁷Dhavhidhi akatuma shoko kumusha kuna Tamari, akati, Enda zvino kumba kwaAmunoni hanzvadzi yako, umugadzirire zvokudya.

⁷Markaasaa Daa'uud Taamaar gurigii ugu cid diray, oo ku yidhi, Orod oo waxaad tagtaa gurigii walaalkaa Amnoon, oo isaga cunto u samee.

⁸Naizvozvo Tamari akaenda kumba kwehanzvadzi yake Amunoni; iye akanga avete pasi. Akatora mukanyiwa, akaukanya, akaumba zvingwa achizviona, akabika zvingwa.

⁸Sidaas daraaddeed Taamaar gurigii walaalkeed Amnoon ayay tagtay; oo isna wuu iska jiifay. Markaasay qaadday cajiin, wayna cajiintay, oo hortiisay moofa ku samaysay, markaasay moofadiina dubtay.

⁹Akatora gango, akazvidurura pamberi pake; asi iye wakaramba kudya. Amunoni akati, Vanhu vose ngavabude kwandiri. Vanhu vose vakabuda kwaari.

⁹Oo intay digsigii qaadday ayay hortiisa ku soo shubtay; laakiinse wuu diiday inuu cuno. Markaasaa Amnoon yidhi, Dadka oo dhan dibadda iiga bixiya. Iyana dibadday uga wada baxeen.

¹⁰Amunoni akati kuna Tamari, Uya nezvokudya muimba yokuvata, kuti ndidye pamaoko ako. Tamari akatora zvingwa zvaakanga abika, akauya nazvo mumba mokuvata maAmunoni hanzvadzi yake.

¹⁰Kolkaasaa Amnoon wuxuu Taamaar ku yidhi, Cuntada qolka iigu keen, aan gacantaada ku cunee. Markaasay Taamaar qaadday moofadii ay samaysay, oo walaalkeed Amnoon qolka ugu keentay.

¹¹Zvino wakati aswedera pedo kwaari nazvo, iye akamubata, akati kwaari, Uya uvate neni, hanzvadzi yangu.

¹¹Oo markay u soo dhowaysay inuu cuno ayuu iyadii qabsaday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Walaalay, kaalay ila seexo!

¹²Iye akamupindura akati, Kwete, hanzvadzi yangu, usandichinya; nekuti chinhu chakadai hachifaniri kuitwa pakati pavaIsiraeri; usaita chinhu ichi chakaipa.

¹²Oo waxay ugu jawaabtay, Maya, walaalkayow, ha i xoogin; waayo, waxan oo kale in reer binu Israa'iil lagu dhex sameeyo ma habboona, haddaba nacasnimadan ha samayn.

¹³Neni ndichaendepiko nokunyara kwangu? Kana uriwe, uchava sebenzi pakati paIsiraeri. Naizvozvo zvino, dotaura hako namambo; nekuti ivo havangandinyimi iwe.

¹³Waayo, bal xaggee baan geeynayaa ceebtayda? Oo adiguna waxaad noqonaysaa nacasyada reer binu Israa'iil midkood. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, bal boqorka la hadal, waayo, isagu ii kaa diidi maayo.

¹⁴Asi wakaramba kuteerera inzwi rake, akaita simba naye, akamukurira, akavata naye.

¹⁴Habase yeeshee wuu diiday inuu codkeedii maqlo, laakiinse wuu xoogay oo la seexday, waayo, wuu ka xoog badnaa.

¹⁵Ipapo Amunoni akamuvenga nokuvenga kukuru kwazvo; nekuti kuvenga kwaakamuvenga nako, kwakapfuura rudo rwaaimuda narwo. Amunoni akati kwaari, Muka, uende.

¹⁵Markaasaa Amnoon iyadii si aad iyo aad u weyn u nebcaaday, waayo, nacaybkuu u qabay wuu ka sii weynaa caashaquu caashaqay. Markaasaa Amnoon ku yidhi, Kac, oo iga tag.

¹⁶Iye akati kwaari, Kwete, nekuti chinhu ichi chokundidzinga chikuru kunechecho chawandiitira. Asi wakaramba kumuteerera.

¹⁶Kolkaasay ku tidhi, Maya, saas ma aha, maxaa yeelay, xumaantan weyn ee aad igu bixinayso ayaa ka sii liidata tii kale ee aad igu samaysay. Laakiinse ma uu dhegaysan.

¹⁷Zvino akadana muranda wake wakange achimubatira, akati, Dzinga mukadzi uyu abve kwandiri, ukiye mukova kana abva.

¹⁷Markaasuu u yeedhay midiidinkiisii u adeegayay, oo ku yidhi, Naagtan hadda dibadda iiga saar, oo albaabkana ka soo daba xidh.

¹⁸Zvino iye wakange ane nguvo yakareba ina maoko, nekuti vakunda vamambo, vaiva mhandara, vaifuka nguvo dzakadai. Muranda wake akamubudisa, akakiya mukova abva.

¹⁸Oo iyana waxay qabtay dhar midabyo kala duwan leh, waayo, dhar caynkaas ah ayay gabdhaha boqorka ee bikradaha ahu qabi jireen. Markaasaa addoonkiisii dibadda u soo saaray, oo albaabkiina ka soo daba xidhay.

¹⁹Zvino Tamari akaisa madota pamusoro wake, akabvarura nguvo yake yakareba ina maoko, akabata ruoko rwake pamusoro wake, akaenda achichema.

¹⁹Markaasaa Taamaar waxay madaxa ku shubatay dambas, oo ay jeexjeexday dharkii midabyada kala duwan lahaa oo ay qabtay; madaxayna gacmaha saartay, wayna iska tagtay iyadoo aad u ooyaysa.

²⁰Abhusaromu hanzvadzi yake, akati kwaari, Amunoni hanzvadzi yako wakange ari kwauri here? Chinyarara hako, hanzvadzi yangu; iye ihanzvadzi yako, usazvidya moyo nemhaka yechinhu ichi. Naizvozvo Tamari akagara ari oga mumba maAbhusaromu hanzvadzi yake.

²⁰Markaasaa walaalkeed Absaaloom wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma waxaa kula jiray walaalkaa Amnoon? Haddaba walaalay, bal iska aamus, oo waxan qalbiga ha ku qabsan, waayo, isagu waa walaalkaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Taamaar waxay ku hadhay oo ku cidlowday gurigii walaalkeed Absaaloom.

²¹Asi, mambo Dhavhidhi wakati achinzwa izvi zvose, akatsamwa kwazvo.

²¹Laakiinse Boqor Daa'uud markuu waxyaalahan oo dhan maqlay, ayuu aad u cadhooday.

²²Asi Abhusaromu haana kutaura chinhu chakanaka kana chakaipa kuna Amunoni; nekuti Abhusaromu wakavenga Amunoni, nekuti wakange achiva hanzvadzi yake Tamari.

²²Oo Absaaloomna Amnoon kulama hadlin xumaan iyo samaan toona, waayo, Absaaloom wuu nebcaaday Amnoon, maxaa yeelay, walaashiis Taamaar buu xoogay.

²³Zvino makore maviri akati apfuura, Abhusaromu wakange ana vaveuri vamakwai paBhaarihazori pedo naEfuremu; Abhusaromu akakoka vana vose vamambo.

²³Oo laba sannadood markay buuxsameen dabadood Absaaloom wuxuu lahaa kuwo idaha dhogorta uga xiira oo jooga Bacal Xasoor, oo ku taal Efrayim dhinaciisa, oo Absaaloomna martiqaad buu ugu yeedhay wiilashii boqorka oo dhan.

²⁴Abhusaromu akaenda kuna mambo, akati, Tarirai zvino, muranda wenyu anavaveuri vamakwai; ndinokumbira kuti mambo navaranda vake vaende nomuranda wenyu.

²⁴Oo Absaaloom boqorkii buu u yimid, oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, idihii ayaan dhogorta ka xiiranayaa, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, boqorow, adiga iyo addoommadaaduba i soo raaca anoo addoonkaaga ah.

²⁵Mambo akati kuna Abhusaromu, Kwete, mwana wangu, ngatirege kuenda isu tose, tirege kuzokutambudza. Akamukurudzira, asi wakaramba kuenda, akamuropafadza hake.

²⁵Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow saas ma aha, ee yaannan kulligayo wada tegin, waaba intaasoo aannu culaab kugu noqonnaaye. Oo isna wuu ku sii adkeeyey, habase yeeshee wuu diiday inuu raaco, laakiinse wuu u duceeyey.

²⁶Zvino Abhusaromu akati, Kana musingadi henyu, ndinokumbira kuti mukoma wangu Amunoni aende nesu. Mambo akati kwaari, Iye unofanira kuendireiko newe?

²⁶Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu yidhi, Haddaba haddaanay saas ahayn, ii daa walaalkay Amnoon ha i raacee. Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Muxuu kuu raacayaa?

²⁷Asi Abhusaromu akamukurudzira, akatendera Amunoni navamwe vana vose vamambo kuenda naye.

²⁷Laakiinse Absaaloom wuu ku sii adkeeyey inuu u daayo Amnoon iyo wiilashii boqorka oo dhammuba inay raacaan.

²⁸Zvino Abhusaromu akaraira varanda vake akati, Tarirai zvakanaka zvino, kana moyo waAmunoni wofara newaini, ini ndikati kwamuri, Urayai Amunoni! imwi munofanira kumuuraya, musatya henyu; handizini ndakakurairai here? Tsungai, muve noumhare.

²⁸Markaasaa Absaaloom midiidinnadiisii amray, oo ku yidhi, Haddaba ogaada markii Amnoon intuu khamriga cabbo ku farxo, oo aan idinku idhaahdo, Amnoon dila, markaas waa inaad dishaan, hana baqina, waayo, sow anigu idinkuma amrin? Saas aawadeed dhiirranaada oo xoog yeesha.

²⁹Zvino varanda vaAbhusaromu vakaitira Amunoni sezvavakanga varairwa naAbhusaromu. Ipapo vanakomana vose vamambo vakasimuka, mumwe nomumwe akakwira mbongoro yake vakatiza.

²⁹Oo midiidinnadii Absaaloomna waxay Amnoon ku sameeyeen wixii Absaaloom ku amray. Markaasaa wiilashii boqorka oo dhammu wada kaceen, oo nin waluba wuxuu fuulay baqalkiisii, wayna wada carareen.

³⁰Zvino vakati vachiri munzira, shoko rikasvika kuna Dhavhidhi Abhusaromu wauraya vanakomana vose vamambo, hakuna wakasara kwavari kunyangwe nomumwe.

³¹Ipapo mambo akasimuka, akabvarura nguvo dzake, akavata pasi; navaranda vake vose vakamirapo nenguvo dzakabvarurwa.

³¹Markaasaa boqorkii kacay, oo dharkiisii jeexjeexay, oo dhulkuu ku jiifsaday, oo addoommadiisii oo dhammuna agtiisa soo istaageen iyagoo dharkoodii jeexjeexay.

³²Asi Jonadhabhu, mwanakomana waShimei, mukoma waDhavhidhi, akapindura, akati, Ishe wangu ngaarege kuti vauraya majaya ose, ivo vana vamambo; nekuti Amunoni woga ndiye wafa, nekuti Abhusaromu wakavaraira izvozvo kubva pazuva raakachiva hanzvadzi yake Tamari.

³²Markaasaa Yoonaadaab, oo ahaa ina Shime'aah Daa'uud walaalkiisii ayaa ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, ha moodin in la wada laayay wiilashii boqorka oo dhan, laakiinse waxaa dhintay Amnoon oo keliya, waayo, Absaaloom taas wuu goostay, wuuna ku talo jiray tan iyo maalintii uu Amnoon xoogay walaashiis Taamaar.

³³Zvino ishe wangu mambo ngaarege kuzvidya moyo pamusoro pechinhu ichi, achiti vanakomana vose vamambo vafa, nekuti Amunoni woga ndiye wafa.

³³Haddaba, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waxan qalbiga ha ku qabsan, oo ha moodin in wiilashaadii ay wada dhinteen, laakiinse waxaa dhintay Amnoon oo keliya.

³⁴Asi Abhusaromu wakatiza. Zvino jaya rakanga rakarindira rakatarira, rikaona vanhu vazhinji vachiuya nenzira yegomo mushure make.

³⁴Laakiinse Absaaloom wuu cararay. Markaasaa ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa ee gaadhka hayay indhaha kor u qaaday, oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay dad badan oo ka soo socda jidka mara buurta dhinaceeda meel isaga ka dambaysa.

³⁵Jonadhabhu akati kuna mambo, Tarirai, vana vamambo vasvika; zvaitika sezvakataura muranda wenyu.

³⁵Markaasaa Yoonaadaab wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Bal eeg, boqorow, wiilashaadii waa yimaadeen, oo sidii anoo addoonkaaga ahu aan kugu idhi, way noqotay.
