Kwazalelwa uDavide amadodana eHebroni ; izibulo lakhe laba ngu -Amnoni ku-Ahinohama waseJizreyeli;

Kwathi emva kwalokho u -Abisalomu indodana kaDavide wayenodadewabo obukekayo ogama lakhe linguTamari ; u-Amnoni indodana kaDavide wamthanda.

U-Amnoni wajilajileka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uTamari , ngokuba wayeyintombi; kwakungenakwenzeka emehlweni ka -Amnoni ukwenza lutho kuye.

Kepha u -Amnoni wayenomngane ogama lakhe linguJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide ; uJonadaba wayengumuntu onobuqili kakhulu.

Wathi kuye: Uzacelani kanjalo wena ndodana yenkosi imihla ngemi hla na? Ungengitshele na? Wathi u-Amnoni kuye: Ngithanda uTamari udadewabo ka- Abisalomu umfowethu.

Wayeselala phansi u-Amnoni, wazishaya ogulayo; isifikile inkosi ukumbona, u-Amnoni wathi enkosini : Ake kuze uTamari udadewethu , enze amaqebelengwane amabili phambi kwami ukuba ngidle esandleni sakhe.

UDavide wayesethumela endlini kaTamari ngokuthi : Hamba manje , uye endlini ka-Amnoni umnewenu, umlungisele ukudla.

Wayesehamba uTamari , waya endlini ka -Amnoni umnewabo ; wayelele phansi. Wathatha inhlama , wayixova, wenza amaqebelengwane ph ambi kwakhe, wapheka amaqebelengwane.

Wayesethatha ikhanzi, wawathulula phambi kwakhe; kepha wala ukudla. U- Amnoni wathi: Khipha bonke abantu kimi. Baphuma bonke kuye.

Wayesethi u -Amnoni kuTamari : Letha ukudla ekamelweni lami ukuba ngidle esandleni sakho. UTamari wawathatha amaqebelengwane awenzileyo, wawangenisa ekamelweni ku-Amnoni umnewabo.

U-Amnoni wayesemzonda ngenzondo enkulu kakhulu , ngokuba inzondo amzonda ngayo yaba nkulu kunothando akade emthanda ngalo . U-Amnoni wathi kuye: Vuka uhambe.

U-Abisalomu umnewabo wathi kuye: Umnewenu u-Amnoni kade enawe na? Thula, dadewethu; ungumnewenu, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kule nto . UTamari wahlala eyisikhwebu nje endlini ka-Abisalomu umnewabo.

U-Abisalomu akakhulumanga okuhle noma okubi , ngokuba u-Abisalomu wamzonda u-Amnoni, lokhu emphoqile udadewabo uTamari.

U-Abisalomu wayesethi : Uma kunjalo , makahambe nathi umfowethu u - Amnoni. Inkosi yathi: Uyakuhambelani nawe na?

U-Abisalomu wayicindezela , yaze yavuma ukuba u -Amnoni nawo onke amadodana ahambe naye.

U-Abisalomu wayala izinceku zak he ngokuthi: Bhekani, lapho inhliziyo ka- Amnoni ithokoza ngewayini nalapho ngithi kini : Bulalani u -Amnoni, nimbulale ningesabi ; angithi mina nginiyalile na ? Yimani isibindi , nibe ngamaqhawe.

Izinceku zika -Abisalomu zenza ku -Amnoni njengokuyala kuka -Abisalomu. Amadodana onke enkosi ayesesuka , yileyo naleyo yakhwela umnyuzi wayo , abaleka.

UJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide waphendula wathi : Inkosi yami mayingathi babulele izinsizwa zonke , amadodana enkosi, lokhu ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo ; ngokuba lokho kwakunqunyiwe ngomlomo ka - Abisalomu kusukela kulolo suku aphoqa ngalo udadewabo uTamari.

Ngalokho inkosi yami , inkosi, mayingabeki le nto enhliziyweni yayo yokuthi onke amadodana enkosi afile, ngokuba ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo. Ukubaleka kuka-Abisalomu

Inkosi uDavide yalangazelela ukuya ku -Abisalomu, ngokuba yayisiduduzekile ngo-Amnoni ibona ukuthi sewafa.
