11 Ku ngalwilo kwa mwaka,* pa kitatyi kyendanga balopwe mu malwi, Davida watuma Yoabe ne bengidi bandi ne kibumbo kyonso kya divita kya Isalela bakonakanye bene Amone, nabo batēkela Laba+ kasāla, papo Davida wadi ushele mu Yelusalema.+
2 Kyolwa kimo,* Davida wabūka pa kitanda kyandi kanangakana peulu pa musaka wa njibo* ya mulopwe. Aye peulu pa musaka wamona mwana-mukaji oya, kadi mwana-mukaji’wa wadi muyampe mpala bininge. 3 Davida watuma muntu akepangule shi mwana-mukaji’wa i ani, nandi waiya na musapu amba: “Mwene i Bafe-Sheba+ mwanā Ediama+ kadi i mukaja Udia+ mwine Hiti?”+ 4 Kupwa Davida watuma mikendi ikamusele.+ Ebiya mwana-mukaji watwela kwandi, nandi walāla nandi.+ (Kino kyalongekele paadi ukīsubula ku disubi dyandi.*)+ Kupwa wajokela kwandi.
5 Mwana-mukaji’wa waimita, ebiya watuma musapu kudi Davida amba: “Naimita.” 6 Penepo Davida watumina Yoabe musapu amba: “Ntumine Udia mwine Hiti.” Ebiya Yoabe watuma Udia kudi Davida. 7 Udia pa kufika kwaadi, Davida wamwipangula mwikadile Yoabe, ne mwikadile bibumbo bya basola, ne mwendela divita. 8 Kupwa Davida wanena Udia amba: “Tūkila ku yobe njibo ukakōkolokwe.”* Udia pa kutamba ku njibo ya mulopwe, bamulondeja byabuntu bya bulunda bya mulopwe.* 9 Ino Udia walāla pa kibelo kya njibo ya mulopwe pamo na bengidi bakwabo bonso ba mfumwandi, katūkīlepo ku yandi njibo. 10 Penepo basapwila Davida amba: “Udia katūkīlepo ku yandi njibo.” Ebiya Davida wanena Udia amba: “Mwene ukitamba mu lwendo? Mwanda waka kutūkīlepo ku yobe njibo?” 11 Udia walondolola Davida amba: “Sanduku+ ne Isalela ne Yuda bashikete mu myemba ya kitatyi kityetye, kadi mfumwami Yoabe ne bengidi ba mfumwami batūdile nkambi mu ntanda. Penepo ami ñende mu yami njibo ndye ntome ne kulāla na wami mukaji?+ Bine ne byodi mūmi,* nkisapo kulonga kino kintu!”
12 Kupwa Davida wanena Udia amba: “Shikata kuno ne dyalelo dine, kesha nsa kukunena wende.” Ebiya Udia washikata mu Yelusalema mu dine difuku’dya ne mu difuku dilonda’ko. 13 Kupwa Davida wamwityija’mba āye badye batome pamo, penepo wamukoleja mālwa. Ino kyolwa, Udia waenda kukalāla pa kitanda kyandi na bengidi ba mfumwandi, katūkīlepo ku yandi njibo. 14 Lubanga Davida walembela Yoabe mukanda, weutuma ku makasa a Udia. 15 Walemba mu mukanda’mba: “Tūlai Udia ku milongo ya kumeso popa pananine bulwi. Kupwa musonsolokei kunyuma, amba bamutape afwe.”+
16 Yoabe wadi ujingulula kibundi senene, watūla Udia pantu paadi uyukile amba padi ba bulwi bakomokomo. 17 Bantu ba mu kibundi pa kutamba kulwa na Yoabe, bengidi bamo ba Davida bapona, Udia mwine Hiti nandi wadi mu boba bafwile.+ 18 Penepo Yoabe watumina Davida musapu wa myanda yonso ya divita. 19 Walombola mukendi amba: “Shi ubapu kwisamba na mulopwe myanda yonso ya divita, 20 mulopwe ubwanya kuloba kakunena’mba, ‘Mwanda waka mwafwenene kemulwila kubwipi bininge na kibundi? Le kemwadipo muyukile amba bakokeja kwimwashila peulu pa lubumbu? 21 Le i ani waipaile Abimeleke+ mwanā Yelubeshete?+ Mwene i mwana-mukaji wamuponejeje dibwe dya mpelo dya pangala aye papo peulu pa lubumbu, wafwila ku Tebeze? Mwanda waka mwafwenene bininge ku lubumbu?’ Penepa nena’mba, ‘Mwingidi obe Udia mwinē Hiti nandi wafwile.’”
22 Ebiya mukendi wasapwila Davida bintu byonso byamutumine Yoabe kusapula. 23 Penepo mukendi wasapwila Davida amba: “Bantu babo betukomene, batambile kulwa netu mu ntanda; ino twebatyindwila ku ntwelelo ya kibelo kya kibundi. 24 Boba belanga miketo badi basa bengidi bobe abo papo peulu pa lubumbu, kadi bengidi bamo ba mulopwe bafwile; ne mwingidi obe Udia mwine Hiti nandi wafwile.”+ 25 Penepo Davida wasapwila mukendi’wa amba: “Sapwila Yoabe namino amba: ‘Uno mwanda kewakikukambakanya, mwanda kipete kisasamunanga yeu nansha yeu. Ningisha bulwi bobe pa kibundi kadi wikinekenye.’+ Nobe mukankamike.”
26 Mukaja Udia pa kwivwana’mba wandi mulume Udia wafu, washilula kudila wandi mulume. 27 Kitatyi’tu kya madilo pa kupwa, Davida wamwityija wamuselela mu yandi njibo, waikala ke wandi mukaji+ wamubutwila ne mwana mwana-mulume. Ino bintu byalongele Davida byafītyije* Yehova mutyima bininge.+
