1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
Pa tsiku lachitatu, Davide ndi anthu ake anakafika ku Zikilagi. Tsono anapeza Aamaleki atawononga kale dera la Negevi ndi Zikilagi. Anathira nkhondo mzinda wa Zikilagi ndi kuwutentha ndi moto.
2 and had taken captive the women [and all] that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Anatenga akazi ndi onse amene anali mʼmenemo akuluakulu ndi angʼono omwe kuti akakhale akapolo. Sanaphe aliyense koma anawatenga amoyo napita nawo.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Davide ndi anthu ake atafika ku Zikilagi anapeza kuti mzindawo watenthedwa ndi moto ndipo akazi awo, ana awo, amuna ndi akazi atengedwa ukapolo.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Kotero Davide ndi anthu ake analira mofuwula mpaka analibenso mphamvu zolirira.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Akazi awiri a Davide, Ahinoamu wa ku Yezireeli ndi Abigayeli mkazi wa Nabala wa ku Karimeli anatengedwanso.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Davide anavutika kwambiri mu mtima mwake chifukwa anthu amakamba zoti amuponye miyala popeza aliyense anali ndi chisoni pokumbukira ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi. Koma Davide anapeza mphamvu mwa Yehova Mulungu wake.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Kenaka Davide anawuza wansembe Abiatara, mwana wa Ahimeleki kuti, “Ndipatse efodi ija.” Abiatara anabwera nayo efodiyo.
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and shalt without fail recover [all].
Tsono Davide anapempha nzeru kwa Yehova nati, “Kodi ndilitsatire gulu lankhondoli? Kodi ndidzawapambana?” Yehova anayankha kuti, “Litsatire, iwe udzawapambana ndithu ndipo udzapulumutsa anthu ako.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Davide pamodzi ndi anthu ake 600 aja ananyamuka nafika ku mtsinje wa Besori. Kumeneko anasiyako anthu ena.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor:
Davide ndi anthu ake 400 anapitirira kuwalondola Aamaleki aja. Koma anthu ena 200 anatsala popeza anatopa moti sakanatha kuwoloka mtsinje wa Besori uja.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink:
Anthu amene anali ndi Davide anapeza Mwigupto mʼmunda wina ndipo anabwera naye kwa Davide. Iwo anamupatsa madzi kuti amwe ndi chakudya kuti adye.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Anamupatsanso chidutswa cha keke yankhuyu ndi makeke awiri a mphesa zowumika kuti adye. Atadya anapezanso mphamvu popeza anakhala masiku atatu wosadya kapena kumwa kanthu kalikonse.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
Davide anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndiwe yani, ndipo ukuchokera kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine Mwigupto, kapolo wa Mwamaleki. Mbuye wanga anandisiya nditayamba kudwala masiku atatu apitawo.
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Ife tinathira nkhondo dera la kummwera kwa mayiko a Akereti, dera la Yuda, ndi dera la kummwera kwa mayiko a Kalebe. Mzinda wa Zikilagi tinawutentha ndi moto.”
15 And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
Davide anamupempha kuti, “Kodi unganditsogolere kumene kuli gulu lankhondoli?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mukandilonjeza molumbira kuti simudzandipha kapena kundipereka kwa mbuye wanga, ine ndikulondolerani kumene kuli gululo.”
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Mwigupto uja anaperekeza Davide. Tsono Aamaleki anali atamwazikana ponseponse. Iwo ankadya, kumwa ndi kuvina chifukwa cha zofunkha zambiri zimene anatenga ku dziko la Afilisti ndi ku dziko la Ayuda.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels and fled.
Tsono Davide anawakantha kuyambira madzulo atsikulo mpaka madzulo a tsiku linalo. Palibe anapulumuka kupatula anyamata 400 amene anakwera pa ngamira nʼkuthawa.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David rescued his two wives.
Choncho Davide analanditsa zinthu zonse zimene Aamaleki aja anatenga. Anapulumutsanso akazi ake awiri aja.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David brought back all.
Palibe chimene chinasowa anthu onse, kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu, mnyamata mpaka mtsikana anapulumutsidwa. Davide anapulumutsa chilichonse chimene anafunkha Aamaleki aja.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
Anapulumutsanso nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zonse. Tsono anthu ankakusa ziwetozo namati, “Izi ndizo zofunkha za Davide.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Davide anafika ku malo kumene kunali anthu 200 otopa kwambiri aja amene sanathe kutsagana naye koma anangokhala ku mtsinje wa Besori. Tsono ananyamuka kuti akumane ndi Davide pamodzi ndi anthu amene anali naye. Davide anawayandikira nawalonjera.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart.
Tsono anthu ena oyipa mtima achabechabe mwa amene anatsagana ndi Davide aja anati, “Popeza awa sanapite nafe, sitiwapatsako zofunkha zimene tapulumutsazi, kupatula kuti aliyense atenge mkazi wake ndi ana ake azipita.”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Koma Davide anawayankha kuti, “Ayi, abale anga, musachite zimenezi ndi zinthu zimene Yehova watipatsa. Iye watisunga ndi kupereka mʼmanja mwathu gulu la ankhondo limene linabwera kudzalimbana nafe.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall share alike.
Ndani angakumvereni zimene mukunenazi? Gawo la munthu amene anapita kukamenya nkhondo likhale lofanana ndi la munthu amene anatsala pano kuyangʼanira katundu wathu. Pasakhale kusiyana kulikonse.”
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto this day.
Choncho Davide anakhazikitsa ngati lamulo mʼchitidwe woterewu pakati pa Aisraeli kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka lero.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
Davide atafika ku Zikilagi, anatumiza zina mwa zofunkhazo kwa akuluakulu a Yuda, amene anali abwenzi ake. Anati, “Nayi mphatso yanu yochokera pa zofunkha za adani a Yehova.”
27 To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in Ramoth of the South, and to them which were in Jattir;
Iye anatumiza mphatsozo kwa anthu a ku Beteli, Ramoti-Negavi, Yatiri,
28 and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa;
Aroeri, Sifimoti, Esitemowa
29 and to them which were in Racal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites;
Rakala, mizinda ya fuko la Ayerahimeeli, mizinda ya fuko la Akeni,
30 and to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Cor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach;
a ku Horima, Borasani, Ataki,
31 and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
Hebroni pamodzi ndi onse a kumalo kumene Davide ndi anthu ake anakhala akuyendayendako.
