1 Ebiseera nga bibitirewo, okabaka wʼaBaamoni oNakisi nʼafa, omutaanewe oKanuni nʼamusikira ngʼokabaka. 2 ODawudi nʼakoba ati, “Njaba okukolera oKanuni omutaane wa Nakasi ebyʼekisa ngʼoiteeye oweyabinkoleire.” Kale oDawudi nʼatuma abakwenda okusaasira oKanuni olwʼokufiirwa oiteeye.
Neye abakwenda abo owebatuukire omu kyalo kyʼaBaamoni, 3 abakungu bʼaBaamoni ni bakoba omusengwa waabwe oKanuni bati, “Oseega oti oDawudi akutumiire abakwenda baize okukukunga nʼokukusaasira, lwa kuwa iteewo kitiisya? Tikiikyo bbe! ODawudi asindikire bakeeti kukeeta kibuga era bakiwambe.” 4 OKanuni nʼakwata abakwenda ba Dawudi, nabuli moiza nʼamumwaku olubba olumo olwʼomulevu, nʼasala ebizwalo byabwe aakati oku mantyamiro, kaisi nʼababbinga bakange.
5 Okabaka oDawudi owebamukobeire ekyo, nʼatuma abakwenda abandi okwaba okusisinkana abakwenda badi olwʼokubba babbaire babaswazire ino. Era nʼabakoba ati, “Musigale omu kibuga e Yeriko paka emirevu gyanywe owegyakula, kaisi mwire.”
6 Awo aBaamoni owebategeire bati basuguwairye oDawudi, ni batumisya bapangisye abaisirikale aBasiiriya 20,000 abʼoku bigere okuzwa e Bbesi Lekobbu nʼe Zobba, nʼabaisirikale abandi 10,000 okuzwa eeri okabaka wʼe Maaka nʼabandi 12,000 okuzwa omu kyalo kyʼe Tobbu.
7 ODawudi oweyawuliire ekyo, nʼasindikayo oYowaabbu nʼamaje gonagona amatendeke nakusani okubalwanisya. 8 ABaamoni ni bawuluka ni beetegekera olutalo oku mulyango gwʼekibuga kyabwe ekikulu. Kaisi ibo aBasiiriya abazwire e Zobba nʼe Lekobbu, nʼabasaiza abazwire e Tobbu nʼabʼe Maaka, ni babba bonkani omu kigona.
9 OYowaabbu oweyategeire ngʼabalabe bamulumba nga bazwera omumaiso nʼe nyumawe, kale nʼalonda abalwani ba Isirairi abakira obuzira, nʼabategeka okulumba aBasiiriya. 10 Abalwani abasigairewo nʼabakwatisya omugandawe Abbisaayi, nʼabategeka okulumba aBaamoni. 11 OYowaabbu nʼakoba Abbisaayi ati, “ABasiiriya owebaabba bannyinga amaani waiza nʼombeera, wena aBaamoni owebaabba nga bakuyinga amaani, naiza ni nkubbeera. 12 Tugume, tulwane masaiza oku lwʼabantu baiswe nʼebibuga bya Kibbumba waiswe. OMusengwa akole ngʼowaasiima.”
13 Awo oYowaabbu nʼabalwanibe ni balumba okulwanisya aBasiiriya, era aBasiiriya ni bairuka. 14 ABaamoni owebaboine ngʼaBasiiriya bairukire, bona ni bairuka Abbisaayi, ni baingira omu kibuga. Awo oYowaabbu olwo kaisi nʼazwa oku kulwanisya aBaamoni, nʼakanga e Yerusaalemi.
15 ABasiiriya owebaboine ngʼaBaisirairi babakira amaani, aBasiiriya ni baira beekumbaania aamo. 16 Okabaka oKadadezeri nʼatumisya okutoolayo aBasiiriya ababbaire e buzwaisana wʼomwiga Ewufulaate, ni baaba omu kibuga e Keramu. OSobbaki omuduumiri wʼamaje ga Kadadezeri niiye eyabeekubbembeire.
17 ODawudi owebamukobeire, nʼakumbaania amaje ga Isirairi gonagona, nʼayambuka oMwiga oYoludaani, nʼayaba e Keramu. ABasiiriya ni beetegeka okulumba oDawudi ni bamulwanisya. 18 Neye aBasiiriya ni bairuka aBaisirairi. ODawudi nʼabalwanibe ni baita aBasiiriya 700 abavugi bʼebigaali, nʼabalwani 40,000 abʼoku mbalaasi, nʼasumuta oSobbaki omuduumiri wʼamaje gaabwe, nʼafeera omu kirwaniro. 19 Abakabaka bonabona ababbaire beegaitire nʼoKadadezeri owebaboine ngʼaBaisirairi bawangwire, ni bakola endagaano eyʼemirembe nʼaBaisirairi, ni basuuka bagalama bʼaBaisirairi.
