2 Maze baza kubwira Yowabu ko umwami aririra Abusalomu akaba ari mu kababaro ko gupfusha.

3 Bityo ibyishimo byo gutsinda k’uwo munsi bihinduka akababaro ko gupfusha, kuko ingabo zose zari zumvise ko umwami ashavujwe n’urupfu rw’umwana we.

4 Ingabo zose zitabarutse zigaruka mu mujyi zibebera nk’izahunze ku rugamba.

5 Umwami yitwikīra mu maso, atera hejuru araboroga ati: “Ayii, mwana wanjye Abusalomu! Abusalomu mwana wanjye, mwana wanjye!”

6 Nuko Yowabu yinjira aho umwami ari aramubwira ati: “Uyu munsi ingabo zawe zagukirije ubugingo, wowe n’abahungu bawe n’abakobwa bawe, n’abagore bawe n’inshoreke zawe, none urazikoza isoni!

7 Ukunda abakwanga, ukanga abagukunda! Uyu munsi werekanye ko ingabo zawe n’abagaba bazo nta cyo bakubwiye. Ubu menye ko iyo Abusalomu aba akiriho twese twapfuye, ari byo byari kukubera byiza!

8 None haguruka ujye gushimira ingabo zawe. Nkurahiye Uhoraho ko nutabigenza utyo, bujya kwira nta muntu n’umwe usigaranye. Byakubera bibi cyane kuruta ibyago byose wagize kuva mu buto bwawe.”

11 None Abusalomu twari twariyimikiye kugira ngo atubere umwami, yaguye ku rugamba. Mutegereje iki kugira ngo mugarure umwami?”

12 Iyo nkuru igera ku Mwami Dawidi, maze atuma ku batambyi Sadoki na Abiyatari ati: “Mubwire abakuru b’Abayuda muti: ‘Kuki ari mwebwe mugiye kuba aba nyuma kugarura umwami?

13 Muri abavandimwe banjye, turi amaraso amwe. Ni kuki ari mwe mugiye kuba aba nyuma kugarura umwami?’

14 Muzambwirire kandi Amasamuti: ‘Mbese ntituri amaraso amwe? Imana izampane yihanukiriye, nintakugira umugaba w’ingabo mu mwanya wa Yowabu, igihe cyose nzaba ndi ku ngoma.’ ”
