2 Nomba kwali abaume babili, abakalamba ba fipondo+ fya kwa mwana Shauli, ishina lya umo ni Baana ne shina lya munankwe ni Rekabu, abana baume ba kwa Rimone umwina Beerote, uwa mu bana ba kwa Benjamini; pantu umusumba wa Beerote+ na o walependelwa kuli Benjamini.
3 Kabili abena Beerote balifyukile no kuya ku Gitaimu,+ e ko baileba abalebeshi ukufika na ku bwa lelo.
4 Nomba Yonatani,+ mwana Shauli, ali no mwana mwaume uwalemana amakasa.+ Ali ne myaka isano ilyo ilyashi lya mfwa ya kwa Shauli na Yonatani lyaishile ukufuma ku Yesreele;+ no walemusunga alimusendele no kufulumuka. Nomba ilyo alefulumuka mu mwenso, aliponene no kulemana. Ne shina lyakwe ni Mefiboshete.+
5 Awe abana ba kwa Rimone umwina Beerote, Rekabu na Baana, baile no kuyaingila mu ng’anda ya kwa Ishiboshete,+ pa nshita akasuba kakabile sana, kabili ali nasendama ninshi akasuba kali pa kati ka mutwe.
6 Kabili basokelele mu kati ka ng’anda kwati balefwaya ingano, kabili bamulashile mu lufumo;+ kabili Rekabu na Baana+ munyina balibutwike, tapali no wabamwene.
7 Ilyo bafikile mu ng’anda, asendeme pa ca kusendamapo cakwe mu muputule wakwe uwa kusendamamo, e lyo bamulashile no kumwipaya,+ bamuputwile no mutwe+ bausenda no kwenda mu musebo ubushiku bonse ukuya ku Araba.

9 Lelo Davidi ayaswike Rekabu na Baana munyina, abana ba kwa Rimone umwina Beerote, no kubeba ati: “Na pali Yehova+ uwapuswishe+ umweo+ wandi ku kucula konse,+
10 ilyo umo anshimikile+ ati, ‘Moneni Shauli nafwa,’ kabili umwine aimwene kwati aleta imbila nsuma, lelo nalimwikete no kumwipaya+ mu Siklagi ilyo nalingile ukumupeela icilambu ca nkombe;
11 nga cileba shani ku bantu ababifi+ abaipaya umulungami mu ng’anda yakwe pa busanshi bwakwe? Bushe te kuti mfwaye umulopa wakwe ku minwe yenu,+ kabili bushe nshilingile no kumufumya pano isonde?”+
12 E lyo Davidi aebele abalumendo ukuti babepaye na bo balibepeye+ no kubaputula ifisansa na makasa no kukobeka+ ifitumbi fyabo mupepi ne cishiba mu Hebrone; kabili babuulile umutwe wa kwa Ishiboshete, baushiikile na mu nshiishi ya kwa Abnere mu Hebrone.+
