3Hone Juaba a fhindula a ri, “Ngavhe Muṋe washu a tshi andisa mmbi dzawe kaḓana! Thovhele muṋe wanga, vhathu avha vhoṱhe a si vhalanda vhavho naa? Izwi vha zwi itelani? Vha hweselani Vhaisraele mulandu?”
4Hone Dafita a si thetshelese mafhungo a Juaba. Ndi hone Juaba a tshi ṱuwa a buḓekanye ḽoṱhe ḽa Israele, a konou vhuya Jerusalema. 5Juaba a vhudza khosi Dafita tshivhalo tsha vhanna vho teaho u bva pfumo.

7Ndaela iyo na Mudzimu o vhona yo vhifha, ndi zwe a rwa Vhaisraele. 8Ndi hone Dafita a tshi amba na Mudzimu a ri, “Ndo khakha zwihulu nga u ita hezwi! Zwino nkhangwele zwe nda tshinya. Ndo ita zwa vhutsilu.”
9Muṋe washu a vhudza Gadi muporofita wa Dafita a ri, 10“Tshimbila u yo vhudza Dafita u ri, ‘Yahavee u ri: Ndi na ṱhamu tharu. Iwe nanga nthihi ine nda nga u rwa ngayo.’ ”
11Gadi a ya ha Dafita a mu vhudza a ri, “Muṋe washu u ri, ‘Iwe u nanga zwifhio? 12U nanga miṅwaha miraru ya nḓala? Kana u nanga miṅwedzi miraru u tshi khou shavha maswina au a tshi khou u pandamedza o fara mafumo? Kana u nanga maḓuvha mararu Yahavee a tshi khou u tovhola nga pfumo ḽawe, a tshi ḓisa dwadze shangoni ḽau, muruṅwa wawe a tshi vhulaha vhathu shangoni ḽoṱhe ḽa Israele?’ Zwino-ha, nga vha elekanye zwine nda ḓo vhudza we a nthuma.”
13Dafita a fhindula Gadi a ri, “Ndo hanganea! Nga ndi wele zwanga zwanḓani zwa Muṋe washu, ngauri Ene u na khathutshelo khulu, hone ndi songo wela zwanḓani zwa vhathu.”
14Ndi hone Muṋe washu a tshi ḓisela Vhaisraele dwadze, ha fa Vhaisraele vha 70 000. 15Mudzimu a ruma muruṅwa u yo phusukanya Jerusalema. Hone musi muruṅwa e vhukati, Muṋe washu a zwi vhona, a pfa vhuṱungu nga mulandu wa iyo khombo, a vhudza muruṅwa we a vha a tshi khou lozwa vhathu a ri, “Zwo eḓana! Humisa tshanḓa tshau!” Muruṅwa wa Muṋe washu o vha o no ima luvhatani lwa u fhulela lwa Arauna wa Mujebusi.
16Dafita a tshi lilala a vhona muruṅwa wa Muṋe washu o ima vhukati ha ḽiṱaḓulu na ḽifhasi, o ṱomola banga o ḽi fara nga tshanḓa, ḽo sumba Jerusalema. Ndi hone Dafita na vhahulwane vha tshi wa nga zwifhaṱuwo vho ambara madzanganda. 17Dafita a rabela a ri, “Ndi nṋe we nda ri vhanna vho teaho u bva pfumo vha vhaliwe. Ndi nṋe we nda tshinya nda ita tshivhi. Vhathu havha vha tou vha dzinngu. Vho tshinyani? Yawee Muṋe washu Mudzimu wanga, lifhedza nṋe na muṱa wanga, hone dwadze heḽi ḽi songo dzula kha vhathu vhau.”
18Ndi hone muruṅwa wa Muṋe washu a tshi laya Gadi uri a yo vhudza Dafita a gonye a yo fhaṱela Muṋe washu aḽiṱari luvhatani lwa u fhulela lwa Arauna wa Mujebusi. 19Dafita a thetshelesa zwe Gadi a mu vhudza nga dzina ḽa Muṋe washu, a gonya a ya.
20Arauna o vha a tshi khou fhula goroi. A tshi rembuluwa a vhona muruṅwa, vhana vhawe vhaṋa vhe a vha e navho vha dzumbama. 21Ndi hone Dafita a tshi swika, Arauna a sedza a mu vhona, a ṱuwa luvhatani lwa u fhulela, a yo gwadama phanḓa ha Dafita tshifhaṱuwo tshawe tsha kwama fhasi.
22Dafita a mu vhudza a ri, “Nga vha nthengisele luvhata lwavho lwa u fhulela ndi fhaṱele Muṋe washu aḽiṱari uri dwadze ḽo faraho vhathu ḽi fhele. Vha nthengisele nga mutengo wo fhelelaho.”
23Arauna a vhudza Dafita a ri, “Nga vha lu dzhie! Thovhele muṋe wanga nga vha ite zwine vha funa. Nṋe ndi ḓo bvisa dziphulu dza tshiṱhavhelo tshi fhiswaho, zwifhulo zwa vha khuni, goroi ya vha nduvho ya thoro. Zwoṱhe hezwo ndi ḓo vha ṋea.”
24Huno khosi Dafita a fhindula Arauna a ri, “Aiwa nandi, nga vha litshe ndi renge nga mutengo wo fhelelaho. Ndi nga si ise ha Muṋe washu zwi re zwavho kana nda mu ṋekedza tshiṱhavhelo tshi fhiswaho ndi songo bvisa tshithu.”
25Ndi hone Dafita a tshi renga ulwo luvhata kha Arauna nga mangwende a musuku a 600. 26Dafita a fhaṱela Muṋe washu aḽiṱari henefho, a mu ṋekedza zwiṱhavhelo zwi fhiswaho na nduvho dza vhuthihi. Dafita a rabela Muṋe washu, Muṋe washu a mu fhindula nga u ḓisa mulilo u bvaho ḽiṱaḓulu wa wela kha aḽiṱari ya tshiṱhavhelo tshi fhiswaho.
27Ndi hone Muṋe washu a tshi amba na uḽa muruṅwa a vhuedzedza banga ḽawe kha tshilanda tshaḽo. 28Zwenezwo musi Dafita o vhona uri Muṋe washu o fhindula thabelo yawe luvhatani lwa u fhulela lwa Arauna wa Mujebusi, a ḓi ṋekedza zwiṱhavhelo henefho. 29Dennde ya Muṋe washu ye Mushe a i akha phangani, na aḽiṱari ya tshiṱhavhelo tshi fhiswaho misi iyo zwo vha zwi zwikwarani zwa Gibioni. 30Hone Dafita o vha a sa koni u ya phanḓa hayo u yo vhudzisa Mudzimu ngauri o vha a tshi ofha banga ḽa muruṅwa wa Muṋe washu.
