Sheba o fetohela Davida
1Gilegale ho ne ho ena le monna ya kgopo, ya neng a bitswa Sheba. E ne e le mora wa Bikiri wa Mobenjamine. Sheba a letsa lenaka, a re:
“Ha re amane ka letho le Davida,
mora wa Jese hase letho ho rona.
Baiseraele,
motho le motho lapeng la hae!”
2Jwale banna bohle ba Iseraele ba fetohela Davida, mme ba latela Sheba, mora wa Bikiri, empa banna ba morabe wa Juda bona ba kgomarela kgosi Davida, ho tloha Jorodane, ho ya fihla Jerusalema.
3Ha Davida a fihla ha hae Jerusalema, a nka basadi ba hae ba mafielo ba leshome, bao a neng a ba siile hae hore ba hlokomele lelapa la kgosi, a ba kwalla ka tlung, a ba beela molebedi. Davida a ba fepa, empa a se ke a kopanela dikobo le bona. Ba dula ba kwaletswe jwalo, ho fihlela ba eshwa, eka ke bahlolohadi.
Amasa o a bolawa
4Kgosi ya re ho Amasa: “Nkepele pitso ya banna ba morabe wa Juda, mme kamora matsatsi a mararo o be o le mona.” 5Yaba Amasa o a tsamaya, o ya bitsa banna ba morabe wa Juda. Empa a dieha ho fihla, nako eo a neng a e baletswe ke Davida ya ba ya feta.
6Davida a re ho Abishai: “Sheba, mora wa Bikiri, o kotsi ho rona le ho feta Abosalome. Phutha bahlanka ba monga hao, o mo phaladise, esere a kena metseng e nang le diqhobosheane, mme a re phonyoha.” 7Bahlabani ba Joabe, le Bakerete, le Bapelete, le banna ba bahale, ba tswang Jerusalema, ba latela Abishai, mme ba phaladisa Sheba, mora wa Bikiri.
8Eitse ha ba fihla lefikeng le leholo le Gibeone, Amasa a kgahlana le bona. Joabe o ne a apere seaparo sa bohlabani, se tlamilweng ka leqhama le nang le sabole. Sabole eo e ne e le ka selateng sa yona, e tlameletswe thekeng ho yena. Ha a ntse a tsamaya, sabole eo ya monyohela fatshe.
9Joabe a re ho Amasa: “O ntse o phela, ngwaneso?” Joabe a mo tshwara ka ditedu, ka letsoho le letona, hore a mo ake. 10Empa Amasa a se ke a tsotella sabole e ka letsohong la Joabe. Joabe a mo hlaba ka yona mpeng, mala a petletsehela fatshe, mme Amasa a shwa Joabe a sa mo pheta le ho mo pheta.
Jwale bo-Joabe le Abishai ngwanabo, ba phaladisa Sheba, mora wa Bikiri. 11E mong wa bahlabani ba Joabe a ema pela Amasa, mme a re: “Mang le mang ya latelang Joabe le Davida a fetele ka ho Joabe!” 12Amasa yena a sala a rapaletse kahara letsha la madi a hae, kahara mmila o moholo. Ha monna eo a bona hore batho bohle ba eme tlekelele! a tlosa setopo sa Amasa ka mmileng o moholo, a se hulanyetsa kathoko ho tsela. Ha a bona hore batho bohle ba fihlang moo ba ema tlekelele! Yaba o se kwahela ka kobo. 13Hoba setopo sa Amasa se tloswe mmileng, batho bohle ba latela Joabe, ba phaladisa Sheba, mora wa Bikiri.
14Sheba a fohla merabe yohle ya Iseraele, a ba a ya fihla Abele-Bete-Maaka le ho Baberi. Bohle ba phutheha, mme le bona ba mo latela. 15Ha Sheba a le Abele-Bete-Maaka, balatedi ba Joabe ba mo etsetsa thibella. Ba tshela mobu, wa etsa qubu pela lerako la motse. Ba thuthuka lerako leo hore ba le dihe. 16Mosadi e mong ya bohlale a howeletsa a le kahara motse, a re: “Theang tsebe, le mamele! Bolellang Joabe, le re: ‘Atamela kwano, re ke re tlo bua!’ ” 17Joabe a atamela, mme mosadi eo a re ho yena: “Na ke wena Joabe?”
Joabe a re: “E, ke nna Joabe!”
Jwale mosadi a re ho yena: “Ako mamele puo ya lekgabunyane la hao.”
Joabe a re: “Ke mametse!”
18Mosadi a bua, a re: “Maele a boholoholo a re: ‘Tsamaya, o yo botsa motseng wa Abele,’ ebe taba di fedile. 19Motse ona wa heso ke o mong wa metse e ratang kgotso, o tshepahalang naheng ya Baiseraele. Empa o batla ho timetsa motse ona, oo e leng mma metse ya Iseraele? Ke ka lebaka lang ha o rata ho ripitla motse oo e leng lefa la Morena?”
20Joabe a araba, a re: “Le ho ka! Nke ke ka leka ho o ripitla, kapa ho o timetsa. 21Ha ho jwalo. Monna ya tswang naheng e maralla ya Efraime, ya bitswang Sheba, mora wa Bikiri, o fetohetse kgosi, yena kgosi Davida. Neelana ka yena feela, mme ke tla tloha motseng ona.”
Mosadi eo a re ho Joabe: “Ke tla o akgella hlooho ya monna eo le hodima lerako.”
22Jwale mosadi eo, ka bohlale ba hae, a ya bua le setjhaba sohle sa habo. Setjhaba sa kgaola hlooho ya Sheba, mora wa Bikiri, sa e akgella Joabe. Yaba Joabe o letsa lenaka, mme bahlabani ba qhalana, monna ka mong a ikela lapeng la hae. Jwale Joabe a kgutlela Jerusalema, ho kgosi.
