2 Byongeye kandi no mu gihe Sawuli yari umwami, ni wowe wayoboraga ingabo z’Abisiraheli ku rugamba, ndetse Uhoraho Imana yawe yarakubwiye ati: ‘Ni wowe uzayobora ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli, ni nawe uzategeka Isiraheli.’ ”

3 Abakuru bose b’Abisiraheli rero basanga Umwami Dawidi i Heburoni, bagirana amasezerano mu izina ry’Uhoraho. Bamwimikisha amavuta aba umwami w’Abisiraheli, nk’uko Uhoraho yari yarabivuze abinyujije ku muhanuzi Samweli.

5 Abayebuzi babwira Dawidi bati: “Ntuzabasha kwinjira muri uyu mujyi:.” Nyamara Dawidi yigarurira ikigo ntamenwa cy’i Siyoni, ari cyo cyiswe Umurwa wa Dawidi.

6 Dawidi yari yavuze ati: “Uzatanga abandi gutsinda Abayebuzi azaba umugaba w’ingabo.” Nuko Yowabu mwene Seruya abimburira abandi kugaba igitero, maze agirwa umugaba w’ingabo.

7 Dawidi atura muri icyo kigo ntamenwa, ni yo mpamvu cyiswe Umurwa wa Dawidi.

10 Aba ni bo bagaba b’ingabo b’intwari ba Dawidi, bafatanyije n’Abisiraheli bose gushyigikira byimazeyo ingoma ye, bityo bamugira umwami hakurikijwe ibyavuzwe n’Uhoraho ku byerekeye Isiraheli.

11 Aya ni yo mazina y’intwari mu ngabo za Dawidi:

Yashobeyamu w’i Hakemoni yari umutware w’abitwa “Intwari eshatu.” Uwo ni we wicishije icumu abanzi magana atatu mu gitero kimwe.

12 Ukurikiraho muri za Ntwari eshatu ni Eleyazari mwene Dodo w’Umwahohi.

13 Yari kumwe na Dawidi i Efesidamimu, igihe Abafilisiti bari bahateraniye biteguye kurwana. Rumaze kwambikana, ingabo z’Abisiraheli zirahunga. Aho hari umurima w’ingano za bushoki,

14 maze Eleyazari n’ingabo ze bashinga ibirindiro muri uwo murima barwanya Abafilisiti barabica. Bityo Uhoraho aha Abisiraheli kubatsinda bikomeye.

15 Ikindi gihe intwari eshatu zo muri za zindi mirongo itatu, zisanga Dawidi ku rutare rwari hafi y’ubuvumo bwa Adulamu. Ingabo z’Abafilisiti zari zishinze ibirindiro mu kibaya cy’Abarefa.

16 Ubwo Dawidi yari aho hantu hatavogerwa, Abafilisiti bashinze ibirindiro i Betelehemu.

17 Dawidi aravuga ati: “Icyampa ku mazi yo mu iriba ryo hafi y’irembo ry’i Betelehemu!”

18 Za ngabo eshatu z’intwari zibyumvise, zihara amagara zinyura aho Abafilisiti bari bashinze ibirindiro, zivoma amazi muri rya riba ryo hafi y’irembo ry’i Betelehemu, ziyashyīra Dawidi. Nyamara Dawidi ayabonye ntiyayanywa, ahubwo ayasuka hasi ayatura Uhoraho.

19 Nuko aravuga ati: “Mana yanjye, ntibikabeho ko nanywa amazi nk’aya! Byaba ari nko kunywa amaraso y’aba bagabo bahaze amagara yabo bajya kumvomera!” Ni yo mpamvu yanze kuyanywa. Ngibyo ibyakozwe n’izo ntwari uko ari eshatu.

20 Abishayi mukuru wa Yowabu yari umuyobozi wa za Ntwari eshatu. Yigeze kwicisha icumu abantu magana atatu mu gitero kimwe, ibyo bituma aba ikirangirire nka za Ntwari eshatu,

21 ndetse aba icyamamare kuzirusha. Nyamara nubwo yabaye umuyobozi wazo, ntiyigeze abarwa muri zo.

22 Hari na Benaya mwene Yehoyada w’i Kabusēli, warangwaga n’ibikorwa byinshi by’ubutwari. Ni we wishe Abamowabu babiri b’intwari. Ikindi gihe amasimbi amaze kugwa, Benaya yamanutse mu rwobo yiciramo intare.

23 Ni we kandi wishe Umunyamisiri wari ufite metero ebyiri n’igice z’uburebure. Uwo Munyamisiri yari yitwaje icumu rimeze nk’igiti cy’ikumbo, naho Benaya yitwaje inkoni yonyine. Yambura wa Munyamisiri icumu rye aba ari ryo amwicisha.

24 Ngibyo ibyo Benaya mwene Yehoyada yakoze, bituma aba ikirangirire nka za Ntwari eshatu.

25 Yabaye ikirangirire kurusha ba batware mirongo itatu, nyamara ntiyigeze abarwa muri za Ntwari eshatu. Nuko Dawidi amugira umutware w’ingabo zamurindaga.

10 Dawidi abaza Imana ati: “Mbese njye gutera Abafilisiti urabangabiza mbatsinde?”

Uhoraho aramusubiza ati: “Genda ubatere, nzabakugabiza ubatsinde.”

11 Nuko Dawidi ajya i Bāli-Perasimu, aba ari ho atsindira Abafilisiti. Aravuga ati: “Imana impaye guca icyuho mu banzi banjye nk’ahashenywe n’isuri.”

Ni cyo cyatumye aho hantu bahita Bāli-Perasimu.

12 Abafilisiti bahasiga ibigirwamana byabo, maze Dawidi ategeka ko babitwika.

2 Nuko Dawidi aravuga ati: “Abalevi bonyine ni bo bafite uburenganzira bwo guheka Isanduku y’Imana, kuko Uhoraho yabatoranyije kujya baheka Isanduku y’Uhoraho no kumukorera iteka ryose.”

3 Dawidi akoranyiriza Abisiraheli bose i Yeruzalemu, kugira ngo bajye kuzana Isanduku y’Uhoraho bayishyire aho yayiteguriye.

4 Akoranya abakomoka kuri Aroni hamwe n’Abalevi,

11 Nuko Dawidi ahamagaza abatambyi Sadoki na Abiyatari, n’Abalevi ari bo aba: Uriyeli na Asaya na Yoweli, na Shemaya na Eliyeli na Aminadabu.

12 Arababwira ati: “Ni mwe bakuru b’imiryango y’Abalevi, mwebwe ubwanyu nimwihumanure ndetse na bene wanyu, maze mujye kuzana Isanduku y’Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli muyishyire aho nayiteguriye.

13 Koko rero, ubwa mbere ntimwari kumwe natwe kugira ngo muyiheke, bityo Uhoraho Imana yacu yadukuyemo umuntu kubera ko tutabikoze uko bikwiye.”

14 Nuko abatambyi n’Abalevi barihumanura, kugira ngo bajye kuzana Isanduku y’Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli.

15 Abalevi baheka Isanduku y’Imana ku ntugu zabo bakoresheje imijishi, nk’uko Musa yari yarabitegetse akurikije ijambo ry’Uhoraho.

16 Dawidi ategeka abakuru b’Abalevi gushyira abavandimwe babo b’abaririmbyi mu myanya yabo kugira ngo baririmbe baranguruye, bacuranga inanga z’indoha n’inanga nyamuduri n’ibyuma birangīra, kandi baririmbana umunezero.

17 Nuko Abalevi batoranya Hemani mwene Yoweli n’umuvandimwe we Asafu mwene Berekiya, na Etani mwene Kushaya wo mu muryango wa Merari.

18 Batoranya na bene wabo bo kubafasha, bakaba n’abarinzi b’irembo ari bo aba: Zakariya na Yāziyeli na Shemiramoti, na Yehiyeli na Uni na Eliyabu, na Benaya na Māseya na Matitiya, na Elifelehu na Mikineya, na Obedi-Edomu na Yeyiyeli.

Isanduku y’Isezerano igera i Yeruzalemu

25 Nuko Dawidi n’abakuru b’Abisiraheli n’abatware b’imitwe y’ingabo igihumbi, bagenda bishimye bajya kuzana Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Uhoraho bayikura kwa Obedi-Edomu.

26 Kubera ko Imana yafashije Abalevi bari bahetse Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Uhoraho, hatambwe ibimasa birindwi n’amasekurume arindwi y’intama.

27 Dawidi yari yambaye ikanzu yera kimwe n’Abalevi bari bahetse Isanduku y’Isezerano, ndetse n’abaririmbyi na Kenaniya umuyobozi wabo. Dawidi kandi yari yambaye igishura cy’umweru.

29 Igihe Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Uhoraho yinjiraga mu Murwa wa Dawidi, Mikali umukobwa wa Sawuli arebera mu idirishya abona Umwami Dawidi abyina yitakuma aramugaya.

5 Asafu yari umuyobozi wabo yungirijwe na Zakariya. Yeyiyeli na Shemiramoti, na Yehiyeli na Matitiya, na Eliyabu na Benaya, na Obedi-Edomu na Yeyiyeli bacurangaga inanga z’indoha n’inanga nyamuduri, naho Asafu akavuza ibyuma birangīra.

6 Benaya na Yahaziyeli b’abatambyi, bahoraga imbere y’Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Imana bavuza amakondera.

7 Uwo munsi ni bwo Dawidi yahaye Asafu na bagenzi be inshingano yo gusingiza Uhoraho muri aya magambo:

8 Nimushimire Uhoraho, mumwambaze,

16 Ni Isezerano yasezeranyije Aburahamu,

ni n’indahiro yarahiye Izaki.

17 Iryo Sezerano yarisezeranyije na Yakobo rirahama,

riba Isezerano ridakuka kuri Isiraheli.

18 Uhoraho yaramubwiye ati:

“Nzaguha igihugu cya Kanāni,

nzakiguha wowe n’abazagukomokaho.”

19 Icyo gihe bari bakiri bake,

ari abimukīra mbarwa muri icyo gihugu.

20 Bavaga mu gihugu bakajya mu kindi,

bavaga no ku mwami bakajya ku wundi.

21 Nyamara Uhoraho nta we yemereye ko abakandamiza,

ahubwo yacyashye abami ababaziza ati:

22 “Muramenye ntimukagire icyo mutwara abo nitoranyirije,

ntimukagirire nabi abahanuzi banjye.”

23 Mwa batuye ku isi yose mwe,

nimuririmbire Uhoraho,

buri munsi mujye mutangaza ko ari we ukiza.

24 Ikuzo rye murimenyekanishe mu mahanga,

ibitangaza akora mubimenyeshe abantu bose.

25 Koko Uhoraho arakomeye akwiye gusingizwa bihebuje,

ni we ukwiye kubahwa kuruta izindi mana zose.

26 Erega imana z’abanyamahanga zose ni imburamumaro!

Nyamara Uhoraho ni we waremye ijuru.

27 Ahorana icyubahiro n’ubuhangange,

ububasha n’ishimwe biganje mu Ngoro ye.

28 Mwa bantu b’amahanga yose mwe, nimurate Uhoraho,

nimurate ikuzo rye n’ububasha bwe,

29 nimurate ko Uhoraho ari nyir’ikuzo.

Nimuze mu Ngoro ye mumuzaniye amaturo,

nimuramye Uhoraho kuko ari umuziranenge.

30 Mwa batuye ku isi yose mwe,

nimuhinde umushyitsi imbere ye.

Koko isi irashimangiye ntizanyeganyega.

31 Ijuru niryishime n’isi inezerwe,

nimubwire abo mu mahanga muti:

“Uhoraho aganje ku ngoma.”

32 Inyanja n’ibiyirimo nibirangīre,

imisozi n’ibiyiriho byose nibyishime.

33 Ibiti byo mu ishyamba na byo nibivuze impundu,

ibyo byose nibyidagadure imbere y’Uhoraho,

koko agiye kuza gutegeka isi.

34 Nimushimire Uhoraho kuko agira neza,

koko imbabazi ze zihoraho iteka ryose.

35 Nimuvuge muti:

“Mana Mukiza wacu, udukize,

udutarurukanye utuvane mu mahanga,

ni bwo tuzagushimira ko uri umuziranenge,

koko kugusingiza ni byo bizadutera ishema.

36 Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli nasingizwe,

nasingizwe kuva kera kose kugeza iteka ryose.”

Abantu bose baravuga bati: “Amina, Haleluya!”

I Yeruzalemu n’i Gibeyoni baramya

37 Nuko Dawidi ashyiraho Asafu na bagenzi be kugira ngo bajye bahora hafi y’Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Uhoraho, bayiteho bakurikije ibiteganyijwe buri munsi.

38 Ashyiraho kandi Obedi-Edomu mwene Yedutuni, hamwe na bene wabo mirongo itandatu n’umunani kugira ngo babafashe. Hosa na Obedi-Edomu bari bashinzwe kurinda amarembo.

39 Dawidi ashinga umutambyi Sadoki hamwe n’abandi batambyi bene wabo, imirimo yo mu Ihema ry’Uhoraho ryari ahasengerwaga i Gibeyoni.

40 Buri gitondo na buri mugoroba bagombaga gutura Uhoraho amaturo, bakayashyira ku rutambiro rw’ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro, kandi bagakora imirimo yose bakurikije amategeko Uhoraho yahaye Abisiraheli.

41 Dawidi abongeraho Hemani na Yedutuni n’abandi bagabo batoranyijwe, kugira ngo bajye basingiza Uhoraho bati: “Imbabazi ze zihoraho iteka ryose.”

42 Hemani na Yedutuni bari bashinzwe kwita ku makondera no ku byuma birangīra by’abaririmbyi, no ku bindi bikoresho byacurangwaga baririmba indirimbo zo gusingiza Imana. Bene Yedutuni ni bo bari bashinzwe kurinda amarembo.

43 Nuko abantu bose barataha. Dawidi na we arataha asabira abo mu rugo rwe umugisha.

Isezerano Imana yasezeranyije Dawidi n’urubyaro rwe

1 Umwami Dawidi amaze gutura mu ngoro ye, abwira umuhanuzi Natani ati: “Dore ntuye mu ngoro yubakishije amasederi,naho Isanduku y’Isezerano ry’Uhoraho iba mu ihema.”

2 Natani aramusubiza ati: “Genda ukore uko ubitekereza kuko Imana iri kumwe nawe.”

3 Nyamara iryo joro Uhoraho abwira Natani ati:

4 “Genda umbwirire umugaragu wanjye Dawidi uti: ‘Ntabwo ari wowe uzanyubakira inzu nzabamo.

5 Kuva igihe navaniye Abisiraheli mu Misiri kugeza n’ubu sinigeze mba mu nzu, ahubwo aho bimukiraga hose niberaga mu mahema.

6 None se muri icyo gihe cyose, hari n’umwe mu bayobozi nashyizeho kuyobora ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli nigeze mbaza impamvu mutanyubakira inzu y’amasederi?’

7 “None rero ubwire umugaragu wanjye Dawidi uti: ‘Ni jye Uhoraho Nyiringabo wakwikuriye mu rwuri aho wari uragiye intama, nkugira umuyobozi w’ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli.

8 Aho wajyaga hose sinigeze ngutererana nagutsindiye abanzi bose, kandi nzakugira umwe mu birangirire byo ku isi.

9 Igihugu cy’ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli nzacyāgura nkibatuzemo mu mahoro. Abagome ntibazongera kubakandamiza nka kera,

10 igihe nari narashyizeho abacamanzabo kuyobora ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli. Nzatsinda abanzi bawe bose. Jyewe Uhoraho ngusezeranyije ko abagukomokaho bazahora basimburana ku ngoma.

11 Numara gupfa ugashyingurwa hamwe na ba sokuruza, nzatoranya umwe mu bahungu bawe agusimbure ku ngoma kandi nzakomeza ubwami bwe.

12 Uwo ni we uzanyubakira inzu, nanjye nzakomeza ingoma ye iteka.

13 Nzamubera Se na we ambere umwana, sinzigera mukuraho icyizere nk’uko nacyambuye umwami wakubanjirije.

14 Nzamuha kuyobora ubwoko bwanjye n’ubwami bwanjye iteka ryose, kandi ubwami bwe buzahoraho iteka.’ ”

15 Natani abwira Dawidi ayo magambo yose nk’uko yayahishuriwe.

Isengesho rya Dawidi

16 Nuko Umwami Dawidi arinjira apfukama imbere y’Uhoraho, arasenga ati: “Uhoraho Mana, ari jye ari n’umuryango wanjye, kugeza ubu ntitwari dukwiriye ibi byiza byose utugirira.

17 Nyamara wowe Mana, wabonye ko ibyo bidahagije umenyesha uko ab’umuryango wanjye bazamera no mu bihe bizaza. Ibyo ubinkoreye nk’aho ndi umuntu ukomeye cyane, Uhoraho Mana.

18 Nkubwire iki se kandi kiruta icyubahiro umpaye, kandi unzi neza jyewe umugaragu wawe?

19 Uhoraho, ukurikije ubushake bwawe wakoreye ibikomeye umugaragu wawe, kugira ngo ugaragaze ububasha bwawe.

20 Uhoraho, nta we muhwanye. Nk’uko twabyiyumviye, koko nta yindi mana ibaho itari wowe.

21 Mbese ku isi hari undi muryango uhwanye n’ubwoko bwawe bw’Abisiraheli? Ni ubwoko Imana yicunguriye ibugira ubwayo, yimenyekanisha ikora ibintu bikomeye kandi bitangaje, imenesha amahanga imbere y’ubwoko bwayo yivaniye mu Misiri.

22 Uhoraho, Abisiraheli wabagize ubwoko bwawe iteka ryose, nawe uba Imana yabo.

23 None rero Uhoraho, usohoze ibyo umvuzeho, n’abazankomokaho uzabakomereze iryo Sezerano iteka ryose.

24 Izina ryawe rizakuzwa iteka ryose bavuge bati: ‘Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli, ni we Mana igoboka Abisiraheli.’ Byongeye kandi, uhe umuryango wanjye gukomera imbere yawe.

25 Koko ni wowe Mana yanjye, wampishuriye ko uzaha abazankomokaho gusimburana ku ngoma. Ni cyo gitumye mpangāra kugusenga.

26 Uhoraho, ni wowe Mana kandi nanjye umugaragu wawe unsezeraniye ibyiza.

27 Nuko rero Uhoraho, uhe umugisha ab’umuryango wanjye kugira ngo baguhore imbere iteka ryose. Koko Uhoraho wabahaye umugisha, bityo bazawuhorana iteka ryose.”

Dawidi atsinda ibihugu bimukikije

1 Nyuma y’ibyo Dawidi atsinda Abafilisiti arabacogoza, yigarurira umujyi: wa Gati n’imidugudu iwukikije arayibanyaga.

2 Dawidi atsinda n’Abamowabu baba abagaragu be, bakajya bamuha imisoro.

3 Atsindira na Hadadezeri umwami w’i Sobaahagana i Hamati. Icyo gihe yashakaga kwigarurira akarere k’uruzi rwa Efurati.

4 Nuko Dawidi amunyaga amagare y’intambara igihumbi, n’abarwanira ku mafarasi ibihumbi birindwi, n’ingabo zigenza amaguru ibihumbi makumyabiri. Dawidi atema ibitsi by’amafarasi yose yakururaga amagare asiga ijana gusa.

5 Abanyasiriya b’i Damasi baza gutabara Hadadezeri umwami w’i Soba, Dawidi abicamo abantu ibihumbi makumyabiri na bibiri.

6 Dawidi ashyiraho ibigo by’ingabo i Damasi muri Siriya, maze Abanyasiriya baba abagaragu be bakajya bamuha imisoro. Aho Dawidi yateraga hose, Uhoraho yamuhaga gutsinda.

7 Dawidi anyaga ingabo zicuzwe mu izahabu z’abagaba b’ingabo ba Hadadezeri, azijyana i Yeruzalemu.

8 Naho i Tibuhati n’i Kuni,imijyi yategekwaga na Hadadezeri, Dawidi ahakura iminyago myinshi y’umuringa. Uwo muringa ni wo Salomo yacurishijemo cya kizenga kinini n’inkingi, hamwe n’ibindi bikoresho bicuzwe mu muringa.

9 Towu umwami w’i Hamati yumvise ko Dawidi yatsinze ingabo zose za Hadadezeri umwami w’i Soba,

10 yohereza umuhungu we Hadoramu kumuramukiriza Umwami Dawidi, no kumushimira ko yatsinze Hadadezeri wahoraga arwanya Towu. Hadoramu azanira Dawidi amaturo y’ibintu byakozwe mu izahabu no mu ifeza no mu muringa.

11 Umwami Dawidi abyegurira Uhoraho nk’uko yari yamweguriye ifeza n’izahabu, yari yaranyaze mu Bedomu n’Abamowabu, n’Abamoni n’Abafilisiti n’Abameleki.

12 Abishayi mwene Seruya yica Abedomu ibihumbi cumi n’umunani, abatsinda mu kibaya cy’Umunyu.

13 Nuko ashyiriraho ibigo by’ingabo muri Edomu, maze Abedomu bose baba abagaragu be. Aho Dawidi yateraga hose, Uhoraho yamuhaga gutsinda.

Ibyegera bya Dawidi

14 Dawidi yabaye umwami w’igihugu cyose cya Isiraheli, ategeka abantu be bose mu butabera n’ubutungane.

15 Yowabu mwene Seruya yari umugaba w’ingabo. Yehoshafati mwene Ahiludi yari umuvugizi w’ibwami.

16 Sadoki mwene Ahitubu, na Ahimeleki mwene Abiyatari bari abatambyi, Shavesha ari umunyamabanga.

17 Benaya mwene Yehoyada yari umugaba w’ingabo zarindaga Dawidi, zigizwe n’Abakereti n’Abapeleti. Abahungu ba Dawidi ni bo bari ibyegera bye.

Dawidi atsinda Abamoni n’Abanyasiriya

1 Nyuma y’ibyo Nahashi umwami w’Abamoni arapfa, umuhungu we amusimbura ku ngoma.

2 Dawidi aravuga ati: “Nzagirira neza Hanuni mwene Nahashi, mwitūra ineza se yangiriye.” Nuko Dawidi yohereza intumwa kugira ngo zifatanye na we mu kababaro gatewe n’urupfu rwa se. Intumwa za Dawidi zigera mu gihugu cy’Abamoni kwa Hanuni kwifatanya na we mu kababaro.

3 Nyamara abatware b’Abamoni babaza Hanuni bati: “Ese ubona ko Dawidi yohereje aba bantu kwifatanya nawe mu kababaro, kubera ko yubahaga so? Aho ntibaba baje kugenzura no gutata igihugu kugira ngo babone uko bakigarurira?”

4 Nuko Hanuni afata intumwa za Dawidi azogosha ubwanwa, imyambaro yazo ayikatira munsi y’urukenyerero, maze arazohereza.

5 Dawidi amenye ibyabaye ku bagaragu be yohereza abantu bo kubasanganira, kuko bari bakozwe n’isoni cyane. Umwami abatumaho ati: “Mugume i Yeriko kugeza igihe ubwanwa bwanyu buzaba bumaze kumera, maze mubone kugaruka.”

6 Abamoni babonye ko basuzuguye Dawidi, Hanuni n’abantu be bohereza toni mirongo itatu z’ifeza mu Banyasiriya bo muri Mezopotamiya ya ruguru, n’ab’i Māka n’ab’i Soba, bakodesha amagare y’intambara n’abarwanira ku mafarasi.

7 Nuko bakodesha amagare ibihumbi mirongo itatu na bibiri, n’umwami w’i Māka n’ingabo ze, maze baraza bashinga ibirindiro i Medeba. Abamoni na bo basohoka mu mijyi yabo bajya ku rugamba.

8 Dawidi abimenye yohereza umugaba w’ingabo Yowabu hamwe n’ingabo zose z’intwari.

9 Abamoni baraza bashinga ibirindiro mu irembo ry’umujyi:, naho abami babatabaye bashinga ibirindiro ku gasozi.

10 Yowabu abonye ko urugamba rumusatiriye imbere n’inyuma, atoranya ingabo z’intwari mu Bisiraheli kugira ngo zihangane n’Abanyasiriya.

11 Ingabo zisigaye azishinga mukuru we Abishayi, kugira ngo zihangane n’Abamoni.

12 Yowabu aramubwira ati: “Abanyasiriya nibandusha amaboko untabare, kandi nawe Abamoni nibakurusha amaboko ndagutabara.

13 Ukomere turwane kigabo, turwanirire ubwoko bwacu n’imijyi y’Imana yacu. Uhoraho agenze uko ashaka.”

14 Yowabu n’ingabo ze basatira Abanyasiriya, maze Abanyasiriya barahunga.

15 Abamoni babonye ko Abanyasiriya bahunze, na bo bahunga Abishayi mukuru wa Yowabu basubira mu mujyi:. Nuko Yowabu asubira i Yeruzalemu.

16 Abanyasiriya babonye ko Abisiraheli babatsinze, bohereza intumwa ku Banyasiriya bo hakurya y’uruzi rwa Efurati kugira ngo babatabare. Baza kubatabara bayobowe na Shofaki umugaba w’ingabo za Hadadezeri.

17 Dawidi abyumvise akoranya ingabo z’Abisiraheli zose, yambuka uruzi rwa Yorodani agenda yerekeje aho bari bari, maze ashinga ibirindiro ahateganye n’Abanyasiriya arwana na bo.

18 Nuko Abanyasiriya baratsindwa barahunga, Dawidi abicamo ingabo ibihumbi birindwi zirwanira mu magare y’intambara, n’izindi ibihumbi mirongo ine zigenza amaguru. Yica na Shofaki umugaba w’ingabo z’Abanyasiriya.

19 Abagaragu ba Hadadezeri babonye ko Abisiraheli babatsinze, bagirana amasezerano y’amahoro na Dawidi maze baramuyoboka. Kuva ubwo Abanyasiriya ntibongera gutabara Abamoni.

Yowabu yigarurira umujyi: wa Raba

1 Mu ntangiriro z’umwaka wakurikiyeho, mu gihe abami bakundaga kujya ku rugamba, Yowabu atera igihugu cy’Abamoni arakiyogoza. Nuko agota Raba, ariko Dawidi we yigumira i Yeruzalemu.

Yowabu yigarurira umujyi: wa Raba arawusenya.

2 Dawidi afata ikamba ryari ku mutwe w’ikigirwamana cy’Abamoni cyitwaga Milikomu, ryari rikozwe mu izahabu rigapima ibiro mirongo itatu na bitanu, afata n’ibuye ry’agaciro ryari ritatseho araritamiriza, ajyana n’indi minyago myinshi cyane.

3 Asohora abaturage mu mujyi:, abashyira ku mirimo yo gukoresha inkero n’amapiki n’amashoka. Dawidi abigenza atyo no mu yindi mijyi yose y’Abamoni, hanyuma Dawidi n’ingabo ze basubira i Yeruzalemu.

Dawidi yongera kurwana n’Abafilisiti

4 Nyuma y’ibyo Abisiraheli barwanira n’Abafilisiti i Gezeri. Sibekayi w’i Husha yica Umufilisiti muremure kandi munini witwaga Sipayi, bityo Abafilisiti barabayoboka.

5 Abisiraheli n’Abafilisiti bongera kurwana, maze Elihanani mwene Yayiri yica Lahimi umuvandimwe wa Goliyati w’i Gati, wari ufite icumu rifite uruti rumeze nk’igiti cy’ikumbo.

6 Ikindi gihe urugamba ruremera i Gati. Hari Umufilisiti w’intwari muremure kandi munini, wari ufite intoki esheshatu kuri buri kiganza, n’amano atandatu kuri buri kirenge.

7 Atuka Abisiraheli maze Yonatani mwene Shama mukuru wa Dawidi aramwica.

8 Abo Bafilisiti barebare kandi banini bakomokaga i Gati, bishwe na Dawidi n’ingabo ze.
