2 Amaherezo imisi ya Dawidi yo gupfa iregereza+; nuko ategeka Salomo umuhungu wiwe ati: 2 “Ngiye kujana inzira isi yose ijana+; uze ukomere+ kandi werekane ko uri umugabo+. 3 Uze ugumye ico Yehova Imana yawe asaba, mu kugendera mu nzira ziwe+, mu kugumya ivyagezwe vyiwe, amabwirizwa yiwe n’ingingo z’ubutungane* ziwe+ be n’ibishingantahe vyiwe, ukurikije ivyanditswe mw’itegeko rya Musa+, kugira ngo ukorane ukwigengesera mu kintu cose uzokora n’ahantu hose uzoja; 4 kugira ngo Yehova ashitse ijambo ryiwe, iryo yavuze ku binyerekeye+ ati: ‘Abana bawe+ nibitwararika inzira yabo mu kugendera+ imbere yanje mu kuri+, n’umutima wabo wose+ n’ubuzima bwabo bwose, ntihazobura umugabo wo mu bawe yicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Isirayeli+.’

5 “Kandi nawe ubwawe urazi neza ivyo Yowabu mwene Zeruwiya yangiriye+, mu vyo yagiriye abakuru b’ingabo za Isirayeli babiri, Abuneri+ mwene Neri na Amasa+ mwene Yeteri+, igihe yabica, agashira amaraso+ y’intambara mu gihe c’amahoro, kandi agashira amaraso y’intambara ku mukaba wari mu mafyinga yiwe no ku nkweto* ziwe zari ku birenge vyiwe. 6 Uze ukore nk’uko ubukerebutsi bwawe+ buri, maze ntureke ngo imvi ziwe zimanuke amahoro+ mu kuzimu*+.

7 “Nayo bene Baruzilayi+ Umugileyadi, uze ubagirire ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo; baze babe mu barira ku meza yawe+; kuko ukwo ari ko banyiyegereje+ igihe nahunga mvuye imbere ya Abusalomu mwene wanyu+.

8 “Kandi ehe, iruhande yawe hari Shimeyi+ mwene Gera Umubenyamini w’i Bahurimu+; ni we yahamagariye akabi kuri jewe akoresheje umuvumo ubabaza+, umusi nariko nja i Mahanayimu+; kandi ni we yamanutse kunsanganira kuri Yorodani+, ku buryo ndamurahira Yehova nti: ‘Sinzokwicisha inkota+.’ 9 Ubu rero, ntuze ureke kumuhana+, kuko uri umugabo w’inkerebutsi+ kandi ukaba uzi neza ico ubwirizwa kumukorera; uze umanukane imvi+ ziwe mu kuzimu ziriko amaraso+.”

10 Maze Dawidi aryama hamwe na ba sekuruza+, ahambwa mu Gisagara ca Dawidi+. 11 Imisi Dawidi yari yaraganje Isirayeli yabaye imyaka mirongo ine+. I Heburoni+ yari yaganje imyaka indwi+, i Yeruzalemu na ho aganza imyaka mirongo itatu n’itatu+.

12 Nayo Salomo, yicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi se wiwe+; amaherezo ingoma yiwe irashimangirwa rwose+.

13 Mu nyuma, Adoniya mwene Hagiti aza kuri Bati-sheba+ nyina wa Salomo. Uno aca amubwira ati: “Ukuza kwawe ni ukw’amahoro+?” Na we ati: “Ni ukw’amahoro.” 14 Abandanya kuvuga ati: “Hari ijambo ndagufitiye.” Na we ati: “Vuga+.” 15 Adoniya abandanya ati: “Wewe ubwawe urazi neza yuko ingoma yobwirijwe kuba iyanje, be n’uko Isirayeli yose yari yashize amaso kuri jewe kugira ngo mbe umwami+; mugabo ingoma yarahindukiye iba iya mwene wacu, kuko yabaye iyiwe bivuye kuri Yehova+. 16 Ubu rero hari ikintu kimwe ngusaba. Ntunyankire+.” Nuko amubwira ati: “Vuga.” 17 Na we abandanya kuvuga ati: “Ndakwinginze ubwire Salomo umwami (kuko atazokwankira) ngo ampe Abishagi+ Umunyashunemukazi+ ambere umugore.” 18 Bati-sheba aca avuga ati: “Ni vyiza! Jewe ubwanje ndakuvugira ku mwami.”

19 Bati-sheba yinjira rero aho Umwami Salomo ari kugira avugane na we ku bwa Adoniya+. Umwami aca arahaguruka+ kugira amusanganire maze aramwunamira+. Hanyuma yicara ku ntebe y’ubwami yiwe araheza ashirishaho intebe y’icubahiro ku bwa nyina w’umwami, kugira ngo uno yicare iburyo bwiwe+. 20 Nuko avuga ati: “Hari ikintu gitoya ngusaba. Ntunyankire.” Umwami amubwira rero ati: “Gisabe mawe; kuko ntakwankira.” 21 Nyina abandanya kuvuga ati: “Abishagi Umunyashunemukazi nahabwe Adoniya mwene wanyu amubere umugore.” 22 Umwami Salomo aca arishura, abwira nyina ati: “Kubera iki none usabiye Adoniya Abishagi Umunyashunemukazi? Numusabire n’ingoma+ (kuko ari mwene wacu anduta+), egome numusabire, usabire na Abiyatari+ umuherezi na Yowabu+ mwene Zeruwiya+.”

23 Umwami Salomo aca arahira Yehova ati: “Imana ingirire gutyo, mbere n’ibirenze ivyo+, Adoniya niyaba atavuze ico kintu ku bwo gushira mu kaga ubuzima bwiwe+. 24 Ubu rero, ndahiye ukubaho kwa Yehova+ we yanshimangiye+ kandi akangumiza ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi dawe+ akongera akanyubakira inzu+ nk’uko nyene yavuze+: uno musi Adoniya aricwa+.” 25 Umwami Salomo aca arungika itegeko biciye kuri Benaya+ mwene Yehoyada; nuko amugurukirako, arapfa+.

26 Abiyatari+ umuherezi na we, umwami amubwira ati: “Ja i Anatoti+ mu matongo yawe! Kuko ukwiriye gupfa+; mugabo uyu musi sinkwica, kuko warerura isandugu y’Umukama Segaba Yehova+ imbere ya Dawidi dawe+, no kubera ko wagize amarushwa mu gihe cose dawe yagize amarushwa+.” 27 Salomo yirukana rero Abiyatari ngo ntabe agikora ari umuherezi wa Yehova, kugira ngo ashitse ijambo rya Yehova, iryo yari yaravuze ku nzu ya Eli+ i Shilo+.

28 Nuko iyo nkuru ishikira Yowabu+ (kuko Yowabu yari yarahengamiye ku ruhande rwa Adoniya+, naho atari yarahengamiye ku ruhande rwa Abusalomu+) hanyuma Yowabu ahungira kw’ihema+ rya Yehova, afata amahembe y’igicaniro aragumya+. 29 Maze Umwami Salomo abwirwa ngo: “Yowabu yahungiye mw’ihema rya Yehova, kandi ehe ari iruhande y’igicaniro.” Salomo atuma rero Benaya mwene Yehoyada, amubwira ati: “Genda, umugurukireko+!” 30 Nuko Benaya aja kw’ihema rya Yehova maze amubwira ati: “Umwami avuze ati: ‘Sohoka!’” Mugabo avuga ati: “Oya! Kuko aha+ ari ho mpfira.” Benaya aca agaruka kumenyesha umwami ati: “Ibi ni vyo Yowabu yavuze, kandi ibi ni vyo yanyishuye.” 31 Maze umwami amubwira ati: “Kora nk’uko yavuze, umugurukireko; umuhambe maze ukure kuri jewe no ku nzu ya dawe amaraso+ yasheshwe bidakwiriye, ayo Yowabu yavishije+. 32 Yehova ntazobura kugarukana amaraso yiwe ku mutwe wiwe+, kuko yagurukiye ku bagabo babiri bagororotse kumurusha kandi bameze neza kumurusha+, akabicisha inkota, kandi dawe Dawidi atabizi+, abo na bo bakaba ari Abuneri+ mwene Neri umukuru w’ingabo za Isirayeli+ na Amasa+ mwene Yeteri umukuru w’ingabo za Yuda+. 33 Kandi amaraso yabo aze agaruke ku mutwe wa Yowabu no ku mutwe w’uruvyaro rwiwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero+; mugabo ku bwa Dawidi+ no ku bw’uruvyaro rwiwe no ku bw’inzu yiwe no ku bw’intebe y’ubwami yiwe, hazoba amahoro ava kuri Yehova, gushika igihe kitagira urugero+.” 34 Maze Benaya mwene Yehoyada araduga+ hanyuma amugurukirako, aramwica+; nuko ahambwa i muhira iwe mu gahinga. 35 Umwami aca ashira Benaya+ mwene Yehoyada mu kibanza ciwe ngo abe umukuru w’ingabo+; Zadoki umuherezi na we, umwami amushira mu kibanza ca Abiyatari+.

36 Amaherezo umwami atuma guhamagara Shimeyi+ maze amubwira ati: “Niwiyubakire inzu i Yeruzalemu, ubeyo, kandi ntuze usohoke uvuyeyo ngo uje aha na hariya. 37 Umusi wasohotse ukarengana koko umwonga Kidironi+, umenye neza ko uzopfa ata kabuza+. Amaraso yawe azoja ku mutwe wawe+.” 38 Shimeyi aca abwira umwami ati: “Iryo jambo ni ryiza. Umusuku wawe azokora nk’uko umukama wanje umwami avuze.” Maze Shimeyi abandanya kuba i Yeruzalemu imisi myinshi.

39 Haheze imyaka itatu, abashumba+ babiri ba Shimeyi bahungira kwa Akishi+ mwene Mayaka umwami wa Gati+; maze abantu baza kumenyesha Shimeyi bati: “Ehe abashumba bawe bari i Gati.” 40 Shimeyi aca arahaguruka, ashira itandiko ku ndogobwa yiwe maze aja i Gati kwa Akishi kurondera abashumba biwe; hanyuma Shimeyi aragenda, akura abashumba biwe i Gati. 41 Maze Salomo amenyeshwa ngo: “Shimeyi yasohotse Yeruzalemu aja i Gati, kandi yagarutse.” 42 Umwami atuma rero guhamagara+ Shimeyi maze amubwira ati: “Mbega sinakurahije Yehova kugira ngo ndakugabishe+, nkavuga nti: ‘Umusi wasohotse ukaja koko aha na hariya umenye neza yuko utazobura gupfa’? Ntiwambwiye none uti: ‘Ijambo numvise ni ryiza+’? 43 Kubera iki none utagumije indahiro ya Yehova+ n’ibwirizwa nagushiriyeho nshimitse+?” 44 Umwami abandanya kubwira Shimeyi ati: “Wewe ubwawe urazi ata gukeka ikibi cose umutima wawe uzi neza, ico wakoreye Dawidi dawe+; Yehova na we agiye gusubiza koko ku mutwe wawe ikibi wakoze+. 45 Mugabo Umwami Salomo azohezagirwa+, kandi intebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi izoshimangirwa imbere ya Yehova ibihe bidahera+.” 46 Umwami aca ategeka Benaya mwene Yehoyada, na we arasohoka hanyuma amugurukirako, arapfa+.

Maze ubwami burashimangirwa mu kuboko kwa Salomo+.
