17Mme Abesalomo a botsa Husai a re: “A ke lone lorato lwa go rata tsala ya gago? Ntlha ga o a ya nayo?”
18Ke fa Husai a raya Abesalomo a re: “Nnyaya! Ene yo o tlhaotsweng ke Morena le morafe o le banna botlhe ba Iseraele ke ene yo ke tla nnang wa gagwe, ke nna nae. 19La bobedi, ke direla mang? A ga se morwawe? Ke tla go direla fela jaaka ke diretse rraago.”
20Jaanong Abesalomo a raya Ahithofele a re: “Gakololanang gore re ka dirang?”
21Ahithofele a fetola Abesalomo a re: “Tsena kwa bagadingwaneng ba ga rraago ba o ba tlogetseng go disa ntlo; foo Baiseraele botlhe ba tla utlwa gore o tenetse rraago ruri, mme diatla tsa botlhe ba ba nang nao di tla tia.” 22Ke fa ba tlhomela Abesalomo tente mo godimo ga dithulelo tsa ntlo, mme Abesalomo a tsena kwa bagadingwaneng ba ga rraagwe mo ponong ya Baiseraele botlhe.
