1Wabuya wavutha umsindo kaYehova kwaSirayeli, wamxhokonxela uDavide kubo, esithi, Hambani niwabale amaSirayeli namaYuda.

2Wathi uYehova kuYowabhi, umthetheli-mkhosi obenaye, Hamba uye kuzo zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli, uthabathela kwaDan use eBher-shebha, ubabale abantu, ndilazi inani labantu.

3Wathi uYowabhi kukumkani, uYehova uThixo wakho makalunyuse uhlanga ngokuphindwe kalikhulu, engenakubalwa, abone namehlo okumkani, inkosi yam; Yini na ukuba ivume inkosi yam ukumkani ngale nto?

4Laqinisela ilizwi lokumkani kuYowabhi nakubathetheli bamadoda. Waphuma ke uYowabhi nabathetheli bamaphakathi kukumkani, ukuba baye kubabala abantu bakwaSirayeli.

5Bayiwela iYordan, bamisa eArohere, ngasekunene kwesixeko phakathi koMlambo uGadi, besa eYazere.

6Baya eGiliyadi nasezweni laseTatimhode; Bafika eDanyan, bajikeleza eSidon.

7Bafika enqabeni yaseTire, nasezixekweni zonke zamaHivi namaKanan, beza kwelasezantsi lakwaYuda, besa eBher-shebha.

8Bakuba behamba nelizwe lonke, bafika eYerusalem emva kweenyanga ezisithoba ezineentsuku ezimashumi mabini.

9uYowabhi wamnika ukumkani inani labantu: amaSirayeli aba ngamakhulu asibhozo amawaka amadoda anobukroti, arhola ikrele; amadoda akwaYuda aba ngamakhulu amahlanu amawaka amadoda.

10Yaphuka intliziyo kaDavide emveni kokuba ebabalile abantu. Wathi uDavide kuYehova, Ndonile kunene ngale nto ndiyenzileyo; ngokuba ndenze izinto ezininzi zobudenge.

11Wavuka uDavide kusasa, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuGadi umprofeti, imboni kaDavide, lisithi,

12Yiya uthi kuDavide, uYehova wathi, Ndikunika ezithathu; khetha ibe nye kuyo, ndiyenzele wena.

13Waya ke uGadi kuDavide, wamxelela, wathi kuye, Sele uneminyaka esixhenxe na kulamba ezweni lakho? Okanye wobaleka utshaba lwakho iinyanga zibe ntathu na, lukusukela? Okanye ngaba iintsuku ezintathu zesibetho kwilizwe lakho? kongeza ngoku, ubone into endiya kuyenza kowandithumayo.

14Wathi uDavide kuGadi, Ndibandezelekile; masiwele kaloku esandleni sikaYehova; ngokuba inkulu inceba yakhe, mandingaweli ezandleni zabantu.

15uYehova wathoba ke indyikitya yokufa kwaSirayeli, yathabathela ekuseni yesa kwixa elimisiweyo;

16Xa ingelosi yasolula isandla sayo nxamnye neYerusalem ukuze iyitshabalalise, uYehova waba nosizi ngenxa yaloo ntlekele waza wathi kwingelosi eyayitshabalalisa abantu: “Kwanele, bamba isandla sakho! Ke isithunywa sikaYehova sasihleli etroneni ka-Aravena umYebhusi.

17Wathetha uDavide kuYehova akusibona isithunywa eso sibabulala abantu, wathi, Yabona, ndonile, ndonile; kodwa ezi zimvu zenze ntoni na? isandla sakho masibe phezu kwam, naphezu kwendlu kabawo.

18Waya ke uGadi kuDavide ngaloo mini, wathi kuye, Nyuka, uye kummisela uYehova isibingelelo esandeni sika-Aravena umYebhusi.

19Wenyuka uDavide ngokwelizwi likaGadi, njengoko uYehova abemwisele umthetho ngako.

20Waya uAravena, wambona ukumkani nabakhonzi bakhe besiza kuye; waphuma uAravena, waqubuda kukumkani ejonge phantsi.

21Wathi uAravena, Yini na ukuba inkosi yam ukumkani ize kumkhonzi wayo? Wathi uDavide, Ndiya kunithengela isibingelelo, ukuze wakhele uYehova isibingelelo, sithintele abantu isibetho.

22Wathi uAravena kuDavide, Ukumkani wam makathabathe ukumkani wam, axhelele oko kulungileyo kuye; nanzi iinkomo zokutshisa umlilo, neenkomo, nezinye izinto zeenkomo ukuba zibe ziinkuni.

23Zonke ezo zinto, ukumkani, uAravena ubezinike ukumkani. Wathi uAravena kukumkani, uYehova uThixo wakho ukwamkele.

24Wathi ukumkani kuAravena, Hayi! ndiya kusithenga ngexabiso kuwe; yaye ndiya kwenzela uYehova uThixo wam iminikelo etshiswayo endingayihlawulanga. uDavide wathenga isanda neenkomo ngeeshekele zesilivere ezimashumi mahlanu.

25uDavide wamakhela khona uYehova isibingelelo waza wanikela iminikelo etshiswayo nemibingelelo yombulelo. Ngoko uYehova walithandazela ilizwe, yaye isibetho sayeka kwaSirayeli.
