< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 Chiengʼ moro achiel Jonathan wuod Saulo nowachone wuowi mane tingʼone gige lweny niya, “Bi mondo wadhi loka cha e kambi mar jo-Filistia.” To ne ok onyiso wuon-gi.
Ngelinye ilanga uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wathi ejaheni elalithwala izikhali zakhe, “Woza, kasiye enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya ngakwelinye icele.” Kodwa kamtshelanga uyise.
2 Noyudo Saulo ojot oko mar Gibea e tiend yadh moro man-gi olemo mongʼinore e Migron. Ji madirom mia auchiel ne ni kode kuno,
USawuli wayehlala emaphethelweni eGibhiya ngaphansi kwesihlahla sephomegranathi eMigironi. Amadoda ayelaye ayengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha,
3 achiel kuom joma ne en godo kuno ne en Ahija mane orwako law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod. Ne en wuod owadgi Ikabod miluongo ni Ahitub wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eli, jadolo mar Jehova Nyasaye modak Shilo. Ne onge ngʼama ongʼeyo ni Jonathan ne osewuok.
phakathi kwawo kulo-Ahija, owayegqoke isigqoko samahlombe. Wayeyindodana yomfowabo ka-Ikhabhodi u-Ahithubi indodana kaFinehasi, indodana ka-Eli umphristi kaThixo eShilo. Kakho owayesazi ukuthi uJonathani wayehambile.
4 E dire koni gi kocha kuma ne Jonathan dwa ngʼado eka ochop e kambi jo-Filistia ne nitie geng got miluongo ni Bozez, to komachielo ne iluongo ni Sene.
Eceleni ngalinye lomkhandlu ayehlose ukuwuchapha ukuze ayefika enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya kwakuleliwa; elinye lalithiwa yiBhozezi elinye liyiSene.
5 Geng got achiel ne ni yo nyandwat mane omanyore gi Mikmash, to machielo ne ni yo milambo momanyore gi Geba.
Elinye iliwa lalingasenyakatho ngokuya eMikhimashi, elinye lingasezansi ngokuya eGebha.
6 Jonathan ne owacho ne wuowi matingʼo gige lwenje niya, “Bi mondo waidh wadhi e kambi joma ok oter nyangugi. Kamoro dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo tiyo kodwa. Onge gima nyalo tamo Jehova Nyasaye reso kata ka gin ji mangʼeny kata ka gin ji manok.”
UJonathani wathi ejaheni elalithwala izikhali zakhe, “Woza, siwelele enkambeni yalabayana abantu abangasokanga. Engxenye uThixo uzasimela, ngoba akulalutho olungavimbela uThixo ekukhululeni, loba kungabanengi kumbe abalutshwana.”
7 Jatingʼ gige lwenje nodwoke niya, “Tim atima gima ni e chunyi nikech an chunya gi pacha ni kodi.”
Umthwali wezikhali zakhe wathi, “Yenza konke olakho engqondweni yakho. Qhubeka, mina ngilawe ngenhliziyo langomphefumulo.”
8 Jonathan nowachone niya, “Koro bi, wangʼad wadhi irgi mondo omi ginewa.
UJonathani wasesithi, “Ngakho-ke, woza sikhuphuke siqonde kulabaya abantu senze ukuba basibone.
9 Ka giwachonwa ni, ‘Rituru kanyo nyaka wabi iru,’ to wabiro chungʼ achungʼa kama wantie kendo ok wanadhi irgi.
Bangathi kithi, ‘Manini khonapho size sifike kini,’ sizahlala lapho esikhona singayi kubo.
10 To kagiwacho ni, ‘Biuru irwa,’ to wabiro idho malo, nikech mano biro bedonwa ranyisi ni Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwetwa.”
Kodwa bangathi, ‘Wozani kithi,’ sizakhwela siye phezulu ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisibonakaliso sethu sokuthi uThixo usebanikele ezandleni zethu.”
11 Omiyo giduto ji ariyogo ne giwuok e lela mondo jo-Filistia manie kambigi onegi. Eka jo-Filistia nowacho niya, “Neuru! Jo-Hibrania mol kawuok ae buche mane gipondoe.”
Ngakho bobabili bazibonakalisa enkambeni yamabutho amaFilistiya. AmaFilistiya athi, “Khangelani, amaHebheru asehohoba ephuma emilindini abecatshe kuyo.”
12 Eka ji duto mane ni e kambi nokok ni Jonathan gi jatingʼne gi lwenje niya, “Biuru irwa mondo une gima wabiro timonu.” Omiyo Jonathan nowacho ni jatingʼ gi lwenje niya, “Idh iluwa Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwet jo-Israel.”
Amadoda ayesenkambeni yamabutho amemeza uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe athi, “Wozani kithi sizalifundisa isifundo.” Ngakho uJonathani wathi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe, “Khwela ungilandele; uThixo usebanikele esandleni sika-Israyeli.”
13 Jonathan ne idho got kokonyore gi lwetene gi tiendene, to jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe. Jo-Filistia nopodho e nyim Jonathan, ka jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe kendo negogi.
UJonathani wakhwela, esebenzisa izandla lezinyawo zakhe, lomthwali wezikhali zakhe ekhonapho ngemva kwakhe. AmaFilistiya awa phambi kukaJonathani, njalo umthwali wezikhali zakhe walandela ebulala abantu ngemva kwakhe.
14 E kedo mokwongono Jonathan kaachiel gi jatingʼ gige lwenjene nonego ji piero ariyo e alwora mar nus heka.
Ngalokho kuhlasela kokuqala uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe babulala abantu abangamatshumi amabili endaweni eyayingaba yingxenye yendima.
15 Bwok maduongʼ nomako jolweny mane ni e kambi gi mago mane ni e paw lweny, kata mana mago mane ni e kambi matindo tindo kendo piny duto noyiengni. Ne en kihondko moor gi Nyasaye.
Emva kwalokho ibutho lonke lathuthumela, ababesezihonqweni lababesegangeni, lalabo ababesezinkambeni zamabutho lamaqembu abahlaseli, iphansi lanyikinyeka. Kwakuyikuthuthumela okwakulethwe nguNkulunkulu.
16 Jorito mag Saulo mane ni Gibea ei Benjamin noneno ka jolweny jo-Filistia ringo koni gi koni.
Abalindi bakaSawuli eGibhiya koBhenjamini babona ibutho lisabalele ezinhlangothini zonke.
17 Saulo nonyiso joma ne ni kode niya kwanreuru mondo une ni ngʼatno mosewuok e dierwa ka, kane gisetimo kamano negiyudo ni en Jonathan gi jatingʼ gige lwenje ema onge kanyo.
USawuli wasesithi ebantwini ababelaye, “Qoqani amabutho libone ukuthi ngubani ongekho.” Sebekwenzile, ababengekho kwakunguJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe.
18 Saulo nowachone Ahija ni kel Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye mane jo-Israel nigo e kindeno.
USawuli wasesithi ku-Ahija, “Letha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.” (Ngalesisikhathi lalikwabako-Israyeli.)
19 Kane Saulo pod wuoyo gi jadolo, to mahu mane ni e kambi jo-Filistia ne medore ameda. Omiyo Saulo nowachone jadolo niya, “Gol lweti ewi Sandug Muma.”
Kwathi uSawuli esakhuluma lomphristi, ukuxokozela ezihonqweni zamaFilistiya kwakhula kakhulu kakhulukazi. Ngakho uSawuli wathi kumphristi, “Susa isandla sakho.”
20 Eka Saulo gi joge nochokore mi gidhi e lweny. Negiyudo ka jo-Filistia pachgi ok ti, kendo gingʼadore gi ligangla kendgi giwegi.
Emva kwalokho uSawuli labantu bakhe bonke babuthana basebesiya empini. Bafica amaFilistiya ephakathi kwesiyaluyalu esipheleleyo, egalelana ngezinkemba zawo.
21 Jo-Hibrania mane oyudo konyo jo-Filistia kedo mane ni kodgi e kambi, nodok ir jo-Israel mane nigi Saulo gi Jonathan.
AmaHebheru ayelamaFilistiya kuqala ehambe lawo ezihonqweni zawo abuyela kwabako-Israyeli ababeloSawuli loJonathani.
22 Kane jo-Israel duto mane oyudo opondo e piny gode man Efraim owinjo ni jo-Filistia ringo, negidonjo e lweny kendo ne gilawogi matek.
Kwathi lapho bonke abako-Israyeli ababecatshe elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilistiya ayesebaleka empini bangena, baxotshana lawo.
23 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne oreso jo-Israel chiengʼno, eka lweny nosudo mokadho Beth Aven.
Uthixo wamhlenga kanjalo u-Israyeli ngalolosuku, njalo ukulwa kwaya ngale kweBhethi-Aveni.
24 Koro jo-Israel ne ool ahinya odiechiengno, nikech Saulo ne oketogi ma gikwongʼore ka owacho niya, “Okwongʼ ngʼato angʼata machiemo ka piny pok oyuso, kapok achulo kuor ni wasika!” Omiyo onge ngʼama nobilo chiemo.
Ngalolosuku abantu bako-Israyeli babedanile ngoba uSawuli wayebophe abantu ngesifungo esithi, “Uqalekisiwe lowomuntu odla ukudla kungakahlwi, ngingakaphindiseli ezitheni zami!” Ngakho akukho butho elanambitha ukudla.
25 To jolweny duto ne odonjo ei bungu to ne nitie mor kich piny.
Ibutho lonke langena ehlathini, lapho okwakuloluju phansi khona.
26 Kane gidhi e bungu negineno mor kich ka chwer piny, to kata kamano onge ngʼama ne otero lwete mondo otere e dhoge, nikech negiluoro kwongʼ.
Ekungeneni kwabo ehlathini, babona uluju lujuluka, kodwa kakho owaludlayo, ngoba babesesaba isifungo.
27 Jonathan to ne ok owinjo ni wuon ne ose kwero ji gi kwongʼ, omiyo nochwowo pedni mar kich gi luth mane ni e lwete. Notingʼo lwete malo motero mor kich e dhoge mi chunye ne odwogo.
Kodwa uJonathani wayengezwanga ukuthi uyise wayebophe abantu ngesifungo, welula isiduku somqwayi ayewuphethe wawuhloma ohlangeni loluju. Waphakamisela isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, amehlo akhazimula.
28 Eka achiel kuom jolweny nowachone niya, “Wuoru nokwero jolweny matek gi kwongʼ kowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ ngʼama ochamo chiemo kawuono! Mano ema omiyo ji ool.’”
Lapho-ke omunye wamabutho wamtshela wathi, “Uyihlo ubophe ibutho ngesifungo esinzima, esithi, ‘Uqalekisiwe lowomuntu odla ukudla lamhla!’ Yikho-nje abantu bemdambiyana.”
29 Jonathan nowacho niya, “Wuora osekelo chandruok ne piny. Ne kaka koro Awinjo maber bangʼ bilo mor kich matin.
UJonathani wathi, “Ubaba usedalele ilizwe uhlupho. Khangela ukuthi amehlo ami athe dlwe ekunambitheni kwami okuncane koluju lolu.
30 Dine obedo maber manade ka dine ji ochamo gik mamoko moyaki kuom wasigu kawuono. Donge dine wanego jo-Filistia mangʼeny?”
Kade kuzakuba ngcono kakhulu aluba lamhla abantu bebedlile enye yempango abayithethe ezitheni zabo. Ukubulawa kwamaFilistiya kade kungayikuba kukhulu kulalokhu na?”
31 E odiechiengno, bangʼ ka jo-Israel noseloyo jo-Filistia ne gilawogi koa Mikmash nyaka Aijalon kendo ne giol ahinya.
Ngalolosuku, emva kokuba ama-Israyeli esebulele amaFilistiya kusukela eMikhimashi kusiyafika e-Ayijaloni, ayesediniwe.
32 Negimuomore kuom gik moyaki, mine gikawo rombe, dhok, gi nyiroye, negiketogi piny migi yangʼogi kendo chamogi ka gitimo remo.
Baphuthuma impango, kwathi sebethethe izimvu lenkomo kanye lamathole, bazibulala khonapho bazidla kanye legazi.
33 Eka ngʼato nowachone Saulo niya, “Neye kaka ji timo richo ni Jehova Nyasaye ka gichamo ringʼo motimo remo.” Eka nowacho niya, “Useketho yie. Ngʼielnauru kidi maduongʼno ukel ka.”
Omunye wasesithi kuSawuli, “Khangela abantu benza isono kuThixo ngokudla inyama elegazi.” Yena wathi, “Selephule ukuthenjwa. Giqelani ilitshe elikhulu ngapha khathesi nje.”
34 Eka nowacho niya, “Dhiuru ir oganda kendo unyisgi ni, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu mondo okelna dhogene kod rombege, kendo oneg-gi ka mi uchamgi. Kik utim richo ne Jehova Nyasaye kuom chamo ringʼo motimo remo.’” Omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne okelo rwadhe otienono mine giyangʼogi kanyo.
Wasesithi, “Yanini phakathi kwabantu libatshele lithi, ‘Lowo lalowo wenu kangilethele inkomo lezimvu zakhe azibulalele lapha azidle. Lingenzi isono kuThixo ngokudla inyama eseselegazi.’” Ngakho ngalobobusuku umuntu wonke waletha inkabi yakhe wayihlabela khonapho.
35 Eka Saulo nogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye, mano e chiengʼ mokwongo mane otime ma.
USawuli wasesakhela uThixo i-alithari; wayeqala ukwenza lokhu.
36 Saulo nowacho niya, “Wadhiuru mwalo mondo walaw jo-Filistia gotieno, mondo watiekgi nyaka kogwen kendo moro amora kuomgi kik dongʼ kangima.” Negidwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.” To jadolo nowacho niya, “Wapenjuru Nyasaye wach mondi.”
USawuli wathi, “Kasehleni silandele amaFilistiya ebusuku siwahlasele kuze kuse, singatshiyi lalinye lawo liphila.” Bathi, “Yenza lokho okubona kulungile kuwe.” Kodwa umphristi wathi, “Kasibuzeni uNkulunkulu lapha.”
37 Omiyo Saulo nopenjo Nyasaye niya, “Bende anyalo lawo jo-Filistia? Ibiro ketogi e lwet jo-Israel koso?” To Nyasaye ne ok odwoke chiengʼno.
USawuli wabuza uNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngehle ngilandele amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela esandleni sika-Israyeli na?” Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamphendulanga ngalolosuku.
38 Saulo nowacho niya, “Biuru ka, un duto ma un jotelo mag jolweny, mondo wayud ni richo mane mosetim kawuono.
Ngakho uSawuli wathi, “Wozani lapha, lonke lina bakhokheli bebutho, sidinge ukuthi yisono bani esenziwe lamhla.
39 Adieri gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma reso Israel, kata ka en wuoda Jonathan ema wachni omako to nyaka otho.” To onge ngʼat machielo mane owuoyo.
Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ohlenga u-Israyeli ephila, lanxa sisendodaneni yami uJonathani, kumele ife.” Kodwa akukho lamunye wabantu owatsho ilizwi.
40 Saulo nowachone jo-Israel duto niya, “Un chungʼuru konchiel ka an kod Jonathan wuoda to wachungʼ bathe komachielo.” Ji nodwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.”
USawuli wasesithi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, “Manini laphayana; mina lendodana yami uJonathani sizakuma ngapha.” Abantu baphendula bathi, “Yenza lokho okukhanya kulungile kuwe.”
41 Bangʼe Saulo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel niya, “En angʼo momiyo pod ok idwoko jatichni kawuono? Ka dipo ni iyudo ketho moro kuoma kata kuom wuoda Jonathan, to chiw ombulu miluongo ni Urim, to ka dipo ni jo-Israel ema oketho, ni chiw ombulu miluongo ni Thumim.” Omiyo Saulo gi Jonathan ema noyier gi ombulu, to jo-Israel nowe.
Emva kwalokho uSawuli wakhuleka kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wathi, “Kungani ungayiphendulanga inceku lamuhla? Nxa isono sikimi kumbe kuJonathani indodana yami, inkatho kayibe yi-Urimi; kodwa nxa isono sisebantwini bako-Israyeli, inkatho kayibe yiThumimi.” UJonathani loSawuli badliwa yinkatho, abantu bagezeka.
42 Saulo nowacho niya, “Gouru ombulu e kinda gi Jonathan wuoda.” Mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jonathan.
USawuli wasesithi, “Phosani inkatho phakathi kwami loJonathani indodana yami.” UJonathani wabanjwa.
43 Eka Saulo nowacho ni Jonathan niya, “Wachna gima isetimo.” Jonathan nowachone niya, “Ne abilo mor kich matin mane ni e dho ludha. Koro ochuno ni nyaka atho?”
USawuli wasesithi kuJonathani, “Ngitshela lokho okwenzileyo.” Ngakho uJonathani wamtshela wathi, “Nginambithe uluju nje kuphela ngesihloko somqwayi wami. Khathesi-ke sokumele ngife!”
44 Saulo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye mondo okweda, ka ok itho in Jonathan.”
USawuli wathi, “UNkulunkulu kangijezise, kube nzima kakhulu, nxa ungafi, Jonathani.”
45 To ji nowachone Saulo niya, “Bende Jonathan ditho to en ema osekelo konyruok maduongʼ kama e Israel? Ok nyalre! Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni kata yie wiye achiel ok nolwar piny nikech Jehova Nyasaye ema okonye timo ma.” Kamano ji noreso Jonathan kendo ne ok onege.
Kodwa abantu bathi kuSawuli, “UJonathani kumele afe yini, yena olethe lokhukuhlengwa okukhulu ko-Israyeli na? Hatshi bo! Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, akulanwele lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela phansi, ngoba lokhu ukwenze lamhla ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu.” Ngakho abantu bamhlenga uJonathani, kasabulawanga.
46 Eka Saulo noweyo lawo jo-Filistia mine gidok thurgi.
USawuli wayekela ukuxotshana lamaFilistiya, njalo amaFilistiya abuyela elizweni lakibo.
47 Bangʼ ka Saulo nosekawo loch e piny Israel, nokedo gi wasikgi koni gi koni kaka jo-Moab, jo-Amon, jo-Edom, gi ruodhi mag Zoba to gi jo-Filistia. Kamoro amora mane odhiye ne osandogi.
Kwathi uSawuli esebusa ko-Israyeli, walwa lezitha zabo inxa zonke: iMowabi, ama-Amoni, i-Edomi, amakhosi aseZobha kanye lamaFilistiya. Loba kungaphi lapho aya khona, wababhuqa.
48 Nokedo gi chir moloyo jo-Amalek, moreso jo-Israel oa e lwet joma nosebet ka yako gigegi.
Walwa ngesibindi wehlula ama-Amaleki, wakhulula u-Israyeli ezandleni zalabo ababebaphangile.
49 Yawuot Saulo ne gin Jonathan, Ishvi, gi Malki-Shua. Nying nyare maduongʼ ne en Merab to nyako ma chogo ne nyinge Mikal.
Amadodana kaSawuli ayenguJonathani, lo-Ishivi kanye loMalikhi-Shuwa. Ibizo lendodakazi yakhe endala lalinguMerabi, elomcinyane linguMikhali.
50 Chiege ne nyinge Ahinoam nyar Ahimaz. Jatend jolweny ne Abner wuod Ner, Ner ne en owadgi wuon Saulo.
Ibizo lomkakhe lalingu-Ahinowama indodakazi ka-Ahimazi. Umlawuli webutho likaSawuli wayengu-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, uNeri wayengumfowabo kayise kaSawuli.
51 Wuon Saulo ma Kish gi wuon Abner ma wuon Ner ne yawuot Abiel.
UKhishi uyise kaSawuli, loNeri uyise ka-Abhineri babengamadodana ka-Abhiyeli.
52 E ndalo duto mag Saulo ne nitie lweny malit ahinya e kinde gi jo-Filistia, kendo kinde ma Saulo noneno ngʼat maratego kata mathuon to ne okawe mondo obed jalwenje.
Kuzozonke insuku zikaSawuli kwakulempi enzima lamaFilistiya, njalo loba kungaphi uSawuli abona khona indoda elamandla kumbe elesibindi, wayingenisa ebuthweni lakhe.
