wakuu wa Waamoni wakamwambia Hanuni bwana wao, “unadhani Daudi anamheshimu baba yako kwa kukutumia watu ili kuonyesha masikitiko? Je, Daudi hakuwatuma watu hawa kuchunguza na kuupeleleza mji ili kuupindua?”
2 Samuel 10:3 in English
2 Samuel 10:3 · Berean Standard Bible
the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to explore the city, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
Context
1Baada ya muda, mfalme wa Waamoni akafa, naye Hanuni mwanawe akaingia mahali pake. 2Daudi akawaza, “Nitamtendea wema Hanuni mwana wa Nahashi, kama vile baba yake alivyonitendea mimi wema.” Hivyo Daudi akatuma wajumbe kuonyesha wema wake kwa Hanuni kuhusu baba yake.
Watu wa Daudi walipofika katika nchi ya Waamoni, 3wakuu wa Waamoni wakamwambia Hanuni bwana wao, “unadhani Daudi anamheshimu baba yako kwa kukutumia watu ili kuonyesha masikitiko? Je, Daudi hakuwatuma watu hawa kuchunguza na kuupeleleza mji ili kuupindua?” 4Basi Hanuni akawakamata watu wa Daudi, akawanyoa kila mmoja ndevu zake nusu, akakata mavazi yao nyuma katikati kwenye matako, akawaacha waende zao. 5Daudi alipoambiwa jambo hili, akatuma wajumbe ili kwenda kuwalaki, kwa maana walikuwa wamevunjiwa heshima sana. Mfalme akasema, “Kaeni huko Yeriko mpaka ndevu zenu ziote ndipo mje.”
