Uvua ubapesha biakudia, kadi kavua usangila nabu to.+ Bakashala mu nzubu muvuabu babalamine amu too ne dituku diabu dia lufu, basombe bu bakaji bakamba, nansha muvua bayabu ne muoyo.

4 Pashishe mukalenge wakambila Amasa ne:+ “Bikila bantu ba mu Yuda bua badisangishe kundi mu matuku asatu, ne wewe pebe wikalaku.” 5 Nunku Amasa wakaya kubikila bena Yuda bua kudisangishabu, kadi yeye wakalua panyima pa dîba divuabu bamukosele bua kulua. 6 Pashishe Davidi wakambila Abishai ne:+ “Sheba+ muana wa Bikili udi mua kutuenzela bibi kupita muvua Abashaloma muenze.+ Angata bena mudimu ba mukalenge webe umulondakaje, bua yeye kapetshi bimenga bikolesha ne katunyemi.” 7 Nunku bantu ba Yoaba,+ bena Kelete, bena Pelete,+ ne bilobo bionso bakapatuka bua kumulonda; bakumbuka mu Yelushalema bua kulondakaja Sheba muana wa Bikili. 8 Pavuabu pabuipi ne dibue dinene mu Gibeona,+ Amasa+ wakalua bua kusambakena nabu. Mpindieu Yoaba uvua muvuale bilamba biende bia mvita, ne uvua ne muele wa mvita muela mu tshizubu tshiawu muasa mu tshimono tshiende. Pakasemenaye kumpala, muele wa mvita wakamata.

Kavua ne bua kumubuejawu musangu muibidi to; musangu umue uvua mukumbane bua kumushipa. Pashishe Yoaba ne muanabu Abishai bakalondakaja Sheba muana wa Bikili.

11 Umue wa ku bansongalume ba Yoaba wakimana ku luseke luende, ne uvua wamba ne: “Muntu yonso udi ku luseke lua Yoaba ne muntu wa Davidi yonso alonde Yoaba!” 12 Dîba dionso adi Amasa uvua udivuandakaja mu mashi ende munkatshi mua njila. Pavua nsongalume au mumone ne: bantu bonso bavua bimana, wakumbusha Amasa mu njila, kuyaye nende mu mpata. Pashishe wakakupa tshilamba kumubuikilatshi, bualu uvua mumone ne: muntu yonso uvua wimana pavuaye ufika muaba uvuaye. 13 Panyima pa yeye mumane kumumbusha mu njila, bantu bonso bakalonda Yoaba bua kulondakaja Sheba+ muana wa Bikili.

Bantu bonso bavua Yoaba nabu bavua benda bumbula kuinshi kua tshimanu bua kutshiupula. 16 Mukaji kampanda wa meji wakela dîyi muikale pa tshimanu tshia tshimenga ne: “Telejayi, nuenu balumiana, telejayi! Ambilayiku Yoaba ne: ‘Luaku muaba eu, nkuambile bualu.’” 17 Nunku wakaya pabuipi nende, ne mukaji au kuebejaye ne: “Wewe ke Yoaba anyi?” Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Mmeme.” Ke mukaji au kumuambila ne: “Teleja mêyi a muena mudimu webe.” Yeye kuamba ne: “Ndi muteleje.” 18 Mukaji au wakamba kabidi ne: “Bavua bamba ku kale ne: ‘Bebeje bualu mu Abele,’ nanku bualu abu buvua bujika. 19 Meme ndi ndeja mpala wa bantu ba ditalala ne ba lulamatu ba mu Isalele. Wewe udi ukeba bua kubutula tshimenga tshidi bu mamu mu Isalele. Bua tshinyi udi ne bua kujimija* bumpianyi bua Yehowa?”+ 20 Yoaba wakandamuna ne: “Kabiena mua kuenzeka bua meme kubujimija ne kutshibutula to. 21 Kabiena nanku nansha kakese to. Kadi muntu kampanda dîna diende Sheba+ muana wa Bikili wa mu buloba bua mikuna bua Efelayima+ mmutombokele* mukalenge Davidi. Nuenu bafile anu muntu au, nengumbuke ku tshimenga.” Ke mukaji au kuambila Yoaba ne: “Tangila! Nebakukupile mutu wende pa tshimanu!”
