2 Samuel 1
1 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Saul, that David hath returned from smiting the Amalekite, and David dwelleth in Ziklag two days,
Atamwalira Sauli, Davide anabwerako kumene anakagonjetsa Aamaleki ndipo anakakhala ku Zikilagi masiku awiri.
2 and it cometh to pass, on the third day, that lo, a man hath come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] rent, and earth on his head; and it cometh to pass, in his coming in unto David, that he falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance.
Pa tsiku lachitatu munthu wina wochokera ku msasa wa Sauli anafika, zovala zake zitangʼambika ndiponso anali atathira dothi pamutu pake. Atafika kwa Davide, anadzigwetsa pansi, kupereka ulemu kwa Davideyo.
3 And David saith to him, 'Whence comest thou?' and he saith unto him, 'Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.'
Davide anamufunsa iye kuti, “Kodi iwe wachokera kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndathawa ku misasa ya Aisraeli.”
4 And David saith unto him, 'What hath been the matter? declare, I pray thee, to me.' And he saith, that 'The people hath fled from the battle, and also a multitude hath fallen of the people, and they die; and also Saul and Jonathan his son have died.'
Davide anafunsa, “Tandiwuza, chachitika ndi chiyani?” Iye anati, “Anthu athawa ku nkhondo ndipo ambiri aphedwa. Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani aphedwa.”
5 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'How hast thou known that Saul and Jonathan his son [are] dead?'
Ndipo Davide anati kwa mnyamata amene anabweretsa nkhaniyi, “Ukudziwa bwanji kuti Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani afa?”
6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him saith, I happened to meet in mount Gilboa, and lo, Saul is leaning on his spear; and lo, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
Mnyamatayo anati, “Zinangochitika kuti ndinali pa phiri la Gilibowa, ndipo Sauli anali komweko ataweramira pa mkondo wake, pamodzi ndi magaleta ndi okwera ake atamuyandikira.
7 and he turneth behind him, and seeth me, and calleth unto me, and I say, Here [am] I.
Pamene anatembenuka ndi kundiona ine, iye anandiyitana, ndipo ndinati, ‘Kodi ndichite chiyani?’”
8 And he saith to me, Who [art] thou? and I say unto him, An Amalekite I [am].'
Iye anandifunsa, “Iwe ndiwe yani?” Ine ndinayankha kuti, “Ndine Mwamaleki.”
9 'And he saith unto me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and put me to death, for seized me hath the arrow, for all my soul [is] still in me.
“Kenaka iye anati kwa ine, ‘Bwera pafupi ndipo undiphe! Ndikumva ululu kwambiri, koma ndikanali ndi moyo!’
10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them in unto my lord hither.'
“Kotero ndinabwera pafupi ndi kumupha, chifukwa ndinadziwa kuti mmene anagweramo sakanakhalanso ndi moyo. Ndipo ndatenga chipewa chaufumu chimene chinali pamutu pake ndi khoza la pa dzanja lake ndipo ndazibweretsa kwa inu mbuye wanga.”
11 And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
Apo Davide ndi anthu onse amene anali nawo anangʼamba zovala zawo.
12 and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
Iwo analira maliro ndi kusala zakudya mpaka madzulo chifukwa cha Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani, komanso chifukwa cha gulu la ankhondo la Yehova ndi nyumba ya Israeli, chifukwa anaphedwa ndi lupanga.
13 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'Whence [art] thou?' and he saith, 'Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I [am].'
Davide anati kwa mnyamata amene anabweretsa uthengawo, “Iwe umachokera kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine mwana wa mlendo Mwamaleki.”
14 And David saith unto him, 'How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?'
Davide anamufunsanso kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunaope kukweza dzanja lako ndi kupha wodzozedwa wa Yehova?”
15 And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, 'Draw nigh — fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth;
Kenaka Davide anayitana mmodzi mwa anyamata ake ndipo anati, “Pita ukamukanthe!” Kotero iye anapita kukamukantha, ndipo mnyamata uja anafa.
16 and David saith unto him, 'Thy blood [is] on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I — I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.'
Pakuti Davide anali atanena kwa iye kuti, “Iwe wadzipha wekha. Pakamwa pako pakunena zokutsutsa wekha, pamene unanena kuti, ‘Ine ndapha wodzozedwa wa Yehova.’”
17 And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;
Davide anayimba nyimbo iyi ya maliro, kulira Sauli ndi mwana wake Yonatani.
18 and he saith to teach the sons of Judah 'The Bow;' lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: —
Ndipo analamula kuti anthu a ku Yuda aphunzitsidwe nyimbo ya maliroyi imene yalembedwa mʼbuku la Yasari:
19 'The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded; How have the mighty fallen!
“Ulemerero wako iwe Israeli, wagona utaphedwa ku zitunda. Taonani amphamvu agwa kumeneko!
20 Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!
“Musakanene zimenezi ku Gati, musazilengeze ku misewu ya ku Asikeloni, kuti ana aakazi a Afilisti angasangalale, ana aakazi a osachita mdulidwe angakondwere.
21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul — without the anointed with oil.
“Inu mapiri a ku Gilibowa, musakhalenso ndi mame kapena mvula, kapena minda yobereka zopereka za ufa. Pakuti kumeneko chishango cha munthu wamphamvu chinadetsedwa, chishango cha Sauli sanachipakenso mafuta.
22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.
“Pa magazi a ophedwa, pa mnofu wa amphamvu, uta wa Yonatani sunabwerere, lupanga la Sauli silinabwere chabe.
23 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!
“Sauli ndi Yonatani, pa moyo wawo anali okondedwa ndi okoma mtima, ndipo pa imfa yawo sanasiyanitsidwe. Iwo anali ndi liwiro loposa ziwombankhanga, anali ndi mphamvu zoposa mkango.
24 Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
“Inu ana aakazi a Israeli, mulireni Sauli, amene anakuvekani zovala zofiira ndi zofewa, amene anakometsera zovala zanu ndi zokometsera zagolide.
25 How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan! on thy high places wounded!
“Taonani amphamvu agwa ku nkhondo! Yonatani wagona ataphedwa ku zitunda.
26 I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above the love of women!
Ine ndikuvutika mumtima chifukwa cha iwe mʼbale wanga Yonatani, unali wokondedwa kwambiri kwa ine. Chikondi chako pa ine chinali chopambana, chopambana kuposa chikondi cha akazi.
27 How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war perish!'
“Taonani amphamvu agwa! Zida zankhondo zawonongeka!”
