1Lwaselubuya lwamvuthela uIsrayeli ulaka lukaJehova.

2Ngakho inkosi yathi kuJowabi induna yebutho eyayilaye: Hamba khathesi ubhode ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli, kusukela koDani kuze kube seBherishebha, libale abantu ukuze ngazi inani labantu.

3UJowabi wasesithi enkosini: Aluba uNkulunkulu wakho ingandisa ebantwini, loba bebanengi kangakanani, kuphindwe ngokulikhulu, ukuthi amehlo enkosi yami, inkosi, akubone. Kodwa inkosi yami, inkosi, ithokozelani kulinto?

4Kodwa ilizwi lenkosi lalilamandla phezu kukaJowabi laphezu kwezinduna zebutho. Ngakho uJowabi lenduna zebutho baphuma phambi kwenkosi ukuze babale abantu, uIsrayeli.

5Basebechapha iJodani, bamisa inkamba eAroweri.

6Basebefika eGileyadi lelizweni leTahetimi-Hodishi; bafika eDani-Jahani,

7bafika enqabeni yeTire; baphuma baya eningizimu yakoJuda, eBherishebha.

8Sebebhode badabula ilizwe lonke, bafika eJerusalema ekupheleni kwenyanga eziyisificamunwemunye lensuku ezingamatshumi amabili.

9UJowabi waseyinika inkosi inani lokubalwa kwabantu; njalo kwakukhona koIsrayeli amaqhawe ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili; lamadoda akoJuda ayengamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.

10Inhliziyo kaDavida yasimtshaya emva kokuthi esebale abantu.

11Kwathi uDavida esevukile ekuseni, kwafika ilizwi leN kuGadi umprofethi, lisithi:

12Hamba uthi kuDavida: Itsho njalo ithi: Ngikubekela okuthathu; zikhethele okukodwa kukho, ukuthi ngikwenze kuwe.

13UGadi wasefika kuDavida, wamtshela wathi kuye: Kufike kuwe yini iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala elizweni lakini? Loba ubalekele izitha zakho inyanga ezintathu zixotshana lawe? Ingabe kube khona umatshayabhuqe wesifo okwensuku ezintathu elizweni lakini? Khathesi cabanga, ubone ukuthi yimpendulo bani engizayibuyisela kongithumileyo.

14UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngicindezelekile kakhulu; ake siwele esandleni seN, ngoba izisa zayo zinkulu, kodwa kangingaweli esandleni somuntu.

15Ngakho yasibeka umatshayabhuqe wesifo kuIsrayeli, kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba sesikhathini esimisiweyo; kwasekusifa ebantwini abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa kusukela koDani kwaze kwaba seBherishebha.

16Lapho ingilosi iselulela isandla sayo eJerusalema ukuyibhubhisa, yazisola ngalobobubi: Sekwanele. Khathesi finyeza isandla sakho. Ingilosi yeN yayisebaleni lokubhulela likaArawuna umJebusi.

17UDavida wasekhuluma eNni lapho ebona ingilosi eyayitshaya abantu, wathi: Khangela, mina ngonile, njalo mina ngenze okubi; pho, lezizimvu zenzeni? Isandla sakho ake simelane lami njalo simelane lendlu kababa.

18UGadi wasefika kuDavida ngalolosuku, wathi kuye: Yenyuka, umisele ilathi ebaleni lokubhulela likaArawuna umJebusi.

19UDavida wasesenyuka njengokutsho kukaGadi, njengokulaya kweN.

20UArawuna waselunguza, wabona inkosi lenceku zayo beqhubeka besiza kuye; uArawuna wasephuma wakhothama phambi kwenkosi ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini.

21UArawuna wasesithi: Kungani inkosi yami, inkosi, ize encekwini yayo? UDavida wasesithi: Ukuthi ngithenge kuwe ibala lokubhulela, ukuthi ngakhele ilathi.

22UArawuna wasesithi kuDavida: Inkosi yami, inkosi, kayithathe inikele lokho okuhle emehlweni ayo.

23Konke lokhu, nkosi, uArawuna wakunika inkosi; uArawuna wasesithi enkosini: uNkulunkulu wakho kayikwemukele.

24Inkosi yasisithi kuArawuna: Hatshi, kodwa ngizakuthenga lokukuthenga kuwe ngentengo; njalo kangiyikunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa engangibizanga lutho eNni uNkulunkulu wami. UDavida waselithenga ibala lokubhulela lezinkabi ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amahlanu.

25UDavida wasesakhela khona ilathi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula.
