< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Devit teh Nob kho e vaihma Ahimelek koevah a pha. Ahimelek ni Devit a hmu navah a kalue teh ahni koe nama dueng maw na hui buet touh hai na tawn hoeh namaw telah atipouh.
UDavida wasesiza eNobi kuAhimeleki umpristi; uAhimeleki wasesesaba ukuhlangabeza uDavida, wathi kuye: Kungani wena uwedwa, njalo kungelamuntu olawe?
2 Devit ni vaihma Ahimelek koe, siangpahrang ni kai koe thaw buet touh na poe. Tawk hane hoi kâ na poe e apinihai panuek sak hanh telah a dei. Hatdawkvah sannaw hie hmuen koe haw e hmuen koe na hruek pouh.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki umpristi: Inkosi ingilaye udaba, yathi kimi: Kakungabi lamuntu owazi lalutho ngaloludaba engikuthuma lona, lengikulaya khona; lamajaha ngiwazisile ngendawo enje lenje.
3 Atuvah na kut dawk bangmaw kaawm. Vaiyei panga touh hoehpawiteh na tawn e pueng na poe telah atipouh.
Khathesi-ke kuyini okungaphansi kwesandla sakho? Nika esandleni sami izinkwa ezinhlanu loba okungatholakala.
4 Vaihma ni Devit koe tami pueng ni ca thai e vaiyei ka kut dawk awm hoeh eiteh, sannaw ni napui koe ma na thoung awh pawiteh, kathounge vaiyei teh ao, atipouh.
Umpristi wasephendula uDavida wathi: Kakulasinkwa esejwayelekileyo ngaphansi kwesandla sami, kodwa kulesinkwa esingcwele, nxa amajaha ezigcinile esifazaneni kuphela.
5 Devit ni vaihma koe atu hnin thum touh thung teh, napui koehoi kathoung awh katang doeh. Ka tâco awh han nahai na sannaw e hnopai hai a thoung.
UDavida wasemphendula umpristi wathi kuye: Isibili abesifazana bavinjelwe kithi phose lezinsuku ezintathu ekuphumeni kwami; lezitsha zamajaha zingcwele; kodwa ngandlela thize sejwayelekile, laphezu kwalokho, ngoba lamuhla singcweliswe ezitsheni.
6 Vaihma ni hmaitung e vaiyei hloilah alouke vaiyei ao hoeh dawkvah, kathounge vaiyei hah a poe. Hote hmaitung e vaiyei yueng lah vaiyei katha hruek hanelah BAWIPA hmaitung hoi yo la takhoe toe.
Ngakho umpristi wamnika esingcwele; ngoba kwakungelasinkwa lapho, ngaphandle kwesinkwa sokubukiswa, ebesisuswe phambi kweNkosi ukuthi kubekwe isinkwa esitshisayo mhla sithathwa.
7 Hot hnin dawk Sawl e a sannaw thung e tami buet touh BAWIPA hmalah ka tek e ao. A min teh Doeg doeh. Ahni teh Edom tami, Sawl e saring kakhoumkung thung dawk e kacue poung e lah o.
Njalo kwakulomuntu lapho owenceku zikaSawuli mhlalokho, ebambekile phambi kweNkosi, lebizo lakhe lalinguDowegi umEdoma, induna yabelusi uSawuli ayelabo.
8 Devit ni Ahimelek koevah, tahroe thoseh tahloi thoseh, na tat hoeh na maw. Siangpahrang teh huerang a panki dawkvah, tahloi thoseh ka puengcang buet buet touh ka kut dawk ka sin mang hoeh telah atipouh.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki: Kanti kakulamkhonto loba inkemba lapha ngaphansi kwesandla sakho? Ngoba kokubili inkemba yami lezikhali zami kangikuthathanga esandleni sami, ngoba udaba lwenkosi lwalungoluphuthunywayo.
9 Vaihma ni Filistin tami Goliath, Elah tanghling dawk na theinae tahloi hah, khenhaw! Ephod hnuklah hni hoi tangoung e sut ao. Na ngai pawiteh hot hah lat, hote hloilah alouke awm hoeh toe telah ati. Devit ni het patetlae tahloi phun awm hoeh, kai na poe telah atipouh.
Umpristi wasesithi: Inkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti, owambulala esigodini seEla, njalo khangela, igoqelwe ngelembu ngemva kwe-efodi; uba uzithathela yona, ithathe, ngoba kayikho enye lapha ngaphandle kwayo. UDavida wasesithi: Kayikho enjengayo; nginika yona.
10 Devit ni a thaw teh Sawl hmalah hoi a yawng teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish koe a cei.
Wasesukuma uDavida wabaleka ngalolosuku esuka ebusweni bukaSawuli, waya kuAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
11 Akhish e a sannaw ni ahni koevah, hete tami heh a ram dawk e siangpahrang Devit nahoehmaw, Sawl ni thong touh thong touh a thei teh, Devit ni thong hra, thong hra a thei telah lamtu lahoi a kong hah la lahoi a sak awh e nahoehmaw ati awh.
Izinceku zikaAkishi zasezisithi kuye: Lo kayisuye uDavida yini inkosi yelizwe? Kabahlabelanga yini ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshayile izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
12 Devit ni hote lawk a lung thung a hruek teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish teh a taki poung.
UDavida wasewafaka lamazwi enhliziyweni yakhe, wamesaba kakhulu uAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
13 Hatdawkvah ahnimae hmalah a sakyoe e naw a kâthung teh hmaitung vah ka pathu patetlah a kâsak. Thonaw hah a takhawi teh a pâkhamuennaw dawk tamtui do do a lawi sak.
Ngakho waguqula ukuziphatha kwakhe emehlweni abo, wazitshaya uhlanya ezandleni zabo, wadweba ezivalweni zamasango, wagxozisela indenda esilevini sakhe.
14 Akhish ni a sannaw koe, khenhaw! tamipathu tie na panue awh nahlangva, bangkong kai koe na thokhai awh.
UAkishi wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Khangelani, liyabona ukuthi lumuntu uyahlanya; limletheleni kimi?
15 Kai dawk ka pathu e panki teh ka hmalah ka pathu e a kamnue nahane lah maw nangmouh ni ka imthung na kâen sak awh han maw telah a sannaw koe atipouh.
Ngiswele inhlanya yini ukuthi lilethe lo ukuthi ahlanye phambi kwami? Lo uzangena endlini yami yini?
