1 Samuel 21
1 David te hlah uh tih a caeh vanneh Jonathan khaw amah kho la bal. David tah Nob kah khosoih Ahimelek taengla pawk. Tedae David doe ham te Ahimelek te lakueng tih, “Nang he balae tih hlang neh na puei uh kolla namah bueng na pawk,” a ti nah.
UDavida waya eNobhi ku-Ahimeleki umphristi. U-Ahimeleki wathuthumela ekuhlanganeni kwakhe laye, wasebuza esithi, “Kungani uwedwa na? Kungani kungekho olawe na?”
2 David loh khosoih Ahimelek te, “Manghai loh ol ng'uen tih, 'Kai loh nang kan tueih te khaw, nang kang uen te khaw, olka he hlang pakhat long khaw ming boel saeh, tongmang hmuen pakhat kah camoe rhoek te ka ming sak coeng,’ a ti.
UDavida waphendula u-Ahimeleki umphristi wathi, “Inkosi ingiphathise udaba oluthize, wathi kimi, ‘Akungabikhona ozakwazi ngenjongo yakho langalokho okuthunyiweyo.’ Abantu bami ngibatshele ukuba bahlangane lami endaweni ethize.
3 Na kut dongah vaidam panga tah om aya Na hmuh duen khaw ka kut dongah m'pae laeh,” a ti nah.
Manje-ke, kuyini olakho? Ngipha izinkwa ezinhlanu, loba kuyini ongakuthola.”
4 Khosoih loh David te a doo tih, “Ka kut dongah rhaengpuei buh tah om pawt dae, camoe rhoek ni huta taeng lamloh a cue uh atah buh cim om,” a ti nah.
Kodwa umphristi waphendula uDavida wathi, “Kangilasinkwa esejwayelekileyo; kodwa-ke kulesinkwa esingcwelisiweyo lapha kodwa kuya ngokuthi amadoda abezigcinile esifazaneni na.”
5 Te vaengah David loh khosoih te a doo tih amah taengah, “Huta khaw hlaem hlavai kah ka caeh bangla kaimih lamloh cue uh. Te dongah camoe rhoek kah hnopai tah cimcaihnah neh om. Amah te rhongingnah longpuei ah cet sitoe cakhaw hnopai dongah tahae khohnin duela cim uh ngai bal pueng,” a ti nah.
UDavida waphendula wathi, “Impela abesifazane babevinjelwe kithi, njengenjwayelo lapho ngiphuma. Imizimba yamadoda ingcwele lasemikhankasweni engengcwele. Pho ingaba njalo okungakanani lamhla!”
6 Te vaengah buh a om pawt dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah a rhoe a hmai buh cim te khosoih loh David a paek. Te khohnin ah buh bae neh a tho ham koi te vik a loh coeng.
Ngakho umphristi wamnika isinkwa esingcwelisiweyo ngoba kwakungelasinkwa lapho ngaphandle kwesinkwa esiNgcwele sikaThixo esasisuswe phambi kukaThixo kwasekubekwa esitshisayo endaweni yaso ngosuku esasuswa ngalo.
7 Tekah khohnin ah Saul sal rhoek khui lamkah hlang pakhat, Saul kah tudawn boei, a ming ah Edom hoelDoeg khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah cue uh.
Ngalolosuku omunye wezinceku zikaSawuli wayekhonapho, ekhonza phambi kukaThixo; wayenguDoyegi umʼEdomi, induna yabelusi bakaSawuli.
8 Te phoeiah Ahimelek te David loh, “Na kut ah caai neh cunghang mai khaw a om moenih a he, manghai ol he tokrhat la a om dongah ka kut dongah ka cunghang khaw, kamah kah hnopai khaw ka loh moenih,” a ti nah.
UDavida wabuza u-Ahimeleki wathi, “Kawulamkhonto kumbe inkemba lapha na? Kangizanga lenkemba yami loba nje esinye isikhali, ngoba umsebenzi wenkosi ubungophuthumayo.”
9 Khosoih loh, “Elah ah na ngawn Philisti Goliath kah cunghang tah hnisui hlip ah himbai neh ka cun, te te na loh atah namah ham lo, he phoeiah tah he ah he a tloe om pawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh, “Te bang te a om moenih, te te kamah taengla m'pae,” a ti nah.
Umphristi waphendula wathi, “Inkemba kaGoliyathi umFilistiya owambulalayo eSigodini sase-Ela, ilapha; igoqelwe ngelembu ngemva kwesembatho semahlombe. Nxa uyifuna, ithathe; kakukho enye inkemba lapha ngaphandle kwaleyo.” UDavida wasesithi, “Kayikho enjengayo; ngipha yona.”
10 Tekah khohnin ah David te hlah uh tih Saul mikhmuh lamloh aka yong te Gath manghai Akhish taengla pawk.
Ngalolosuku uDavida wabalekela uSawuli waya ku-Akhishi inkosi yaseGathi.
11 Tedae anih te Akhish kah sal rhoek loh, “Khohmuen manghai David pawt nim he? lamnah neh a doo uh tih, 'Saul loh a thawng, a thawng hil, David loh a thawngrha, a thawngrha hil a ngawn,’ a ti uh te anih ham pawt nim?,” a ti uh.
Kodwa izinceku zika-Akhishi zathi kuye, “Lo kasuDavida inkosi yelizwe na? Kasuye yini abahlabela ngaye emigidweni yabo besithi: ‘USawuli ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida ubulele amatshumi ezinkulungwane zakhe’?”
12 Tekah olka te David loh a thinko ah a khueh tih Gath manghai Akhish mikhmuh ah mat a rhih.
UDavida wawagcina amazwi la enhliziyweni yakhe wamesaba kakhulu u-Akhishi inkosi yaseGathi.
13 Te dongah amih mikhmuh ah a om a ih te a thovael tih amih kut dongah yan uh. Vongka thohkhaih dongah a khoeih a khoeih tih a tamkai te a hmuimul dongla a tlak sak.
Ngakho wazenza ophambeneyo kubo; njalo kwathi lapho ekubo wenza njengomuntu ohlanyayo, edwebadweba ezivalweni zesango njalo wayekela lendenda zehlela endevini zakhe.
14 Te dongah Akhish loh a sal rhoek taengah, “So uh lah, kekah hlang ke pavai ni ke, ba ham nim anih te kai taengla nan khuen uh?
U-Akhishi wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Khangelani umuntu lo! Uphambene! Kungani limletha kimi na?
15 Pavai ka nai tih nim pavai he kai taengla nang khuen uh? Kai im khuila kun saeh a he?,” a ti nah.
Lithi ngiziswele yini inhlanya lize lilethe umuntu lo lapha ukuba aqhubeke kanje phambi kwami na? Umuntu lo kumele angene endlini yami na?”
