(1 Byom 19:1-19)
1Ebyo bwe byawa, kyabazinga Nahashi ow’Abammoni yaafa, mutabane we Hanuni yaamusikira ku bwakyabazinga. 2Daudi yaakoba mule ati: “Ndidha kulaga Hanuni mutabane wa Nahashi omukwano ogw’amazima, nga ise gwe yandaganga.” Kale Daudi yaatuma ku bagheereza be baje ye Hanuni, bamumusaasirire olw’okufiirwa ise.
Agho abagheereza ba Daudi baatuuka bukalamu mu nsi ey’Abammoni. 3Aye abakulembeze ab’Abammoni baakoba musengwa waibwe Hanuni bati: “Olowooza oti Daudi akutumiire abagheereza be okukusaasira, lwa kwenda kuta mu lata wo kinhagansi? Busa naire. Atumye abagheereza be kwagaaza kibuga bakikeete, era olumaliira bakigeme.”
4Kale Hanuni yaagema abagheereza ba Daudi, buli muntu yaamusalaku oluuyi olw’ekirevu kye era yaamusalaku ebivaalo bye okutuusa mu nkende, memale yaabalekula baaja. 5Daudi bwe baamukobera ebibairegho, yaatuma abakwenda y’abagheereza abo, kuba baali bali kuwulira ensoni. Yaabakoba basigale mu kibuga Yeriko okutuusa ng’ebirevu byaibwe bimaze okumera memale baireyo.
6Abammoni bwe baabona nga baleeteire Daudi okubakyagha, baapangisa abalwani ab’oku bigere Abasiria ab’e Betherehobu n’ab’e Zoba nga baghera emitwalo ebiri (20,000), baapangisa ni kyabazinga w’e Maaka yaidha n’abalwani lukumi (1,000), era baapangisa n’abalwani omutwalo mulala n’enkumi ibiri (12,000) abaava e Tobu. 7Daudi bwe yakiwulira yaatuma Yoabu n’eigye lyonalyona ery’abalwani ab’amaani. 8Abammoni beesowolayo baasimba enhiriri gha mulyango ogwingira mu kibuga kyaibwe, nga beetegeike okulwana olutalo. Ate Abasiria ab’e Zoba n’ab’e Rehobu, n’abalwani ab’e Tobu n’e Maaka, baaba bonka mu irungu.
9Yoabu bwe yabona ng’abazigu baidha kumulumba nga bamuva emberi n’emugongo, yaalonda mu balwani ba Isiraeli abasaadha abasinga kulwana, baasimba enhiriri nga boolekeire Abasiria. 10Abalwani abaasigalagho yaabagemya muganda we Abishai, yaabasimbya enhiriri okwolekera Abammoni. 11Yoabu oyo yaakoba Abishai ati: “Abasiria bwe banansinga amaani munaidha mwambeera, mwena Abammoni bwe banaabasinga amaani tunaidha twababeera. 12Guma omwoyo, tulwane kisaadha ku lw’abantu baife n’ebibuga bya Katonda waife. Ka tusabe Musengwa Katonda akole ekyo ky’abona nga n’ekigwaine.”
13Kale Yoabu ni be yali nabo baaja okulumba Abasiria, Abasiria baabalumuka. 14Abammoni bwe baabona ng’Abasiria balumwike, boona baalumuka Abishai bangira mu kibuga. Agho Yoabu yaakyuka yaavaayo y’okulwana n’Abammoni, yaira e Yerusalemu.
15Aye Abasiria bwe baabona ng’Abaisiraeli babaghangwire, beesololeza ghalala. 16Kyabazinga Hadadezeri yaatumisa Abasiria abaali ere ng’osomoike omwiga Eufurate, baidha e Helamu nga Shobaki omuduumizi ow’eigye lya Hadadezeri n’ali kubakulembera.
17Ekyo bwe baakikobera Daudi, yeena yaasoloza Abaisiraeli boonaboona ghalala, baasomoka omwiga Yorudani baatuuka e Helamu. Abasiria baasimba enhiriri nga boolekeire Daudi, baalwana naye. 18Abasiria baalumuka Abaisiraeli. Daudi yaita abalwani Abasiria ab’oku bigaali eby’omu lutalo lusanvu, n’ab’oku mbalaasi emitwalo ena (40,000). Era baafumita Shobaki omuduumizi ow’eigye ly’Abasiria, yaafiira mu lutalo. 19Bakyabazinga boonaboona abaali abagheereza ba Hadadezeri bwe baabona nga Abaisiraeli babaghangwire, baakola endagaano ey’emiraala n’Abaisiraeli, era Abaisiraeli abo baabafuganga. Agho Abasiria baatya okwirayo kabiri okubeera Abammoni.
