Samuel 1 19
1 Azɔ la, Saul gblɔ na eŋumewo kple via Yonatan be woato mɔ aɖe nu awu David. Ke le lɔlɔ̃ deto si nɔ Yonatan kple David dome ta la,
USawuli watshela indodana yakhe uJonathani kanye lezinceku zonke ukuba babulale uDavida. Kodwa uJonathani wayemthanda uDavida
2 Yonatan gblɔ ɖoɖo si fofoa wɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Etsɔ ŋdi la, ele be nàdi teƒe aɖe si nàbe ɖo le gbedzi.
ngakho wamxwayisa wathi, “Ubaba uSawuli udinga ithuba lokukubulala. Qaphela kusasa ekuseni; hamba uyecatsha uhlale khona.
3 Mana be nye kple fofonye míava afi ma eye maƒo nu nɛ tso ŋuwò. Ekema magblɔ nya sia nya si mase tso egbɔ la na wò.”
Mina ngizaphuma ngiyekuma lobaba egangeni lapho okhona. Ngizakhuluma laye ngawe njalo ngizakutshela lokho engizakuthola.”
4 Le ŋufɔke ƒe ŋdi esi Yonatan nɔ dze ɖom kple fofoa la, ekafu David nɛ eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be wòadzudzɔ ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo ɖe eŋu. Yonatan ɖe kuku na fofoa be, “David mewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke ɖe ŋuwò kpɔ o; ekpena ɖe ŋuwò ɣe sia ɣi le mɔ sia mɔ si wòate ŋui la dzi.
UJonathani wakhuluma kuhle ngoDavida kuSawuli uyise wathi kuye, “Inkosi kayingenzi okubi encekwini yayo uDavida, konanga lutho kuwe, njalo akwenzileyo kukusize kakhulu.
5 Ɖe nèŋlɔ ɣeyiɣi si wòtsɔ eƒe agbe ke, hewu Goliat kple ale si Yehowa to nu sia me he dziɖuɖu gã aɖe vɛ na Israel la bea? Èkpɔ dzidzɔ le nyadzɔdzɔ sia ŋu ɣe ma ɣi me, nu ka ta nàwui azɔ le esime mewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o? Naneke meli si ta nàwui ɖo o.”
Wadela impilo yakhe ekubulaleni kwakhe umFilistiya. Uthixo wazuzela u-Israyeli ukunqoba okukhulu, lawe wakubona njalo wathaba. Pho kungani ungenza okubi emuntwini omsulwa njengoDavida ngokumbulala kungelasizatho na?”
6 Mlɔeba la, Saul lɔ̃ ɖe Yonatan ƒe nya siawo dzi eye wòka atam be, “Zi ale si Yehowa li la, nyemawu David o.”
USawuli wamlalela uJonathani wasefunga isifungo lesi esithi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, uDavida kayikubulawa.”
7 Yonatan yɔ David emegbe eye wòka nya si dzɔ la ta nɛ. Ekplɔ David yi Saul gbɔ eye wo dome ganɔ abe tsã ene.
Ngakho uJonathani wabiza uDavida wamtshela inkulumo yonke. Wamusa kuSawuli, uDavida wahlala loSawuli njengakuqala.
8 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, aʋa gadzɔ ɖe Israelviwo kple Filistitɔwo dome. David nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la nu, wowu Filistitɔ geɖewo eye aʋakɔ blibo la si le wo nu.
Kwabuya kwaba lempi futhi, uDavida waphuma ukuyakulwa lamaFilistiya. Wawatshaya ngamandla amakhulu aze abaleka.
9 Ke gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe tso Yehowa gbɔ va Saul dzi, esime wònɔ eƒe aƒe me eye eƒe akplɔ nɔ esi. Esime David nɔ kasaŋku ƒom la.
Kodwa umoya omubi owavela kuThixo wafika kuSawuli ehlezi endlini yakhe ephethe umkhonto wakhe ngesandla. Kwathi uDavida etshaya ichacho,
10 Saul di be yeatsɔ yeƒe akplɔ amimii ɖe gli ŋu, ke David de axa nɛ esime Saul da akplɔ la wòyi gli la me. Le zã ma me la, David si dzo.
uSawuli wazama ukumnamathisela emdulini ngomkhonto wakhe, kodwa uDavida wavika uSawuli wagwaza umduli ngomkhonto. Ngalobobusuku uDavida waphunyuka wabaleka.
11 Saul ɖo asrafowo ɖa be woadzɔ David ƒe aƒe ŋu ne edo go tso eƒe xɔ me ŋdi ko la, woawui. Ke Mixal gblɔ na srɔ̃a David be “Ne mèsi dzo le zã sia me o la, àzu nu kuku etsɔ ŋdi.”
USawuli wathuma izithunywa endlini kaDavida ukuba bayilinde njalo bambulale ekuseni. Kodwa uMikhali, umkaDavida, wamxwayisa wathi, “Nxa ungabaleki ngalobubusuku ukuba uvikele impilo yakho kusasa uzabulawa.”
12 Ale Mixal kpe ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu wòɖi to fesre to hesi.
Ngakho uMikhali wehlisela uDavida phansi emkhuphe ngefasitela, wabaleka-ke waphepha.
13 Mixal tsɔ ametikpakpɛ aɖe da ɖe David ƒe aba dzi, eƒe ta nɔ suɖui si wowɔ kple gbɔ̃fu la dzi eye wòtsyɔ abadzivɔwo nɛ.
Emva kwalokho uMikhali wathatha isithombe wasilalisa embhedeni, wasembesa ngengubo ebeke uboya bembuzi ekhanda.
14 Esi asrafoawo va be woalé David ayi na Saul la, Mixal gblɔ na wo be David dze dɔ eye mate ŋu afɔ o.
USawuli esethume abantu ukuba bayethumba uDavida, uMikhali wathi, “Uyagula.”
15 Saul gblɔ ɖo ɖa be woakɔ David kple eƒe abati la vɛ ale be yeate ŋu awui.
USawuli wababuyisela abantu labo ukuba bayebona uDavida esithi kubo, “Mletheni kimi ngombheda wakhe ukuze ngimbulale.”
16 Ke esi wova be woakɔe kple abatia la, wokpɔ be ametikpakpɛ koe nɔ abatia dzi eye gbɔ̃fuvɔ le eƒe tagbe.
Kodwa kwathi amadoda lawo engena, embhedeni kwakulesithombe, ekhanda kuloboya bembuzi.
17 Saul bia via Mixal be, “Nu ka ta nèblem eye nèna nye futɔ si?” Mixal ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe kokoko wòle nam be mable wò elabena srɔ̃nye gblɔ nam be ne nyemekpe ɖe ye ŋu o la, yeawum.”
USawuli wathi kuMikhali, “Kungani ungikhohlise kanje wabalekisa isitha sami ukuze siphephe?” UMikhali wathi kuye, “Uthe kimi, ‘Yekela ngibaleke. Ngingakubulalelani na?’”
18 Ale David si yi Rama ɖakpɔ Samuel eye wògblɔ nu siwo katã Saul wɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ eye Samuel kplɔ David yi Nayɔt.
UDavida esebaleke waphepha, waya kuSamuyeli eRama wamtshela konke okwakwenziwe nguSawuli kuye. Ngakho yena loSamuyeli baya eNayothi bahlala khona.
19 Esi Saul se be David nɔ Nayɔt le Rama la,
Ilizwi lafika kuSawuli lisithi: “UDavida useNayothi eRama.”
20 eɖo asrafowo ɖa be woalée vɛ. Ke esi woɖo afi ma eye wokpɔ Samuel kple nyagblɔɖila bubuwo nɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va wo dzi eye woawo hã de asi nyagbɔgblɔɖi me.
Ngakho wathuma abantu ukuba bayemthumba. Kodwa bathi bebona ixuku labaphrofethi liphrofitha, loSamuyeli emi khonapho njengomkhokheli wabo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela ebantwini bakaSawuli labo baphrofetha.
21 Esi Saul se nya si dzɔ la, eɖo asrafo bubuwo ɖa, ke woawo hã gblɔ nya ɖi! Nu ma ke dzɔ zi etɔ̃lia hã.
USawuli wakutshelwa lokho wasethuma abanye abantu, labo baphrofetha. USawuli wathuma abantu okwesithathu, labo futhi baphrofetha.
22 Azɔ Saul ŋutɔ yi Rama eye esi wòɖo vudo la gbɔ le Seku la, ebia be “Afi ka Samuel kple David le?” Ame aɖe gblɔ nɛ be, “Wole Nayɔt le Rama.”
Ekucineni, yena ngokwakhe wasuka waya eRama, wasesiya emgodini omkhulu eSekhu. Wabuza wathi, “USamuyeli loDavida bangaphi?” Bathi, “Le eNayothi eRama.”
23 Ke esi wòyina Nayɔt la, Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ va eya hã dzi eye eya hã de asi nyagbɔgblɔɖi me!
Ngakho uSawuli waya eNayothi eRama. Kodwa uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela lakuye, wahamba ephrofitha waze wayafika eNayothi.
24 Edze eƒe awuwo hetsi amama to ŋkeke kple zã blibo la me eye wògblɔ nya ɖi kple Samuel ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo. Eŋumewo tsi yaa eye wobia be, “Ɖe Saul hã le nyagblɔɖilawo domea?”
Wakhulula izigqoko zakhe laye waphrofitha uSamuyeli ekhona. Walala enjalo ilanga lonke lobusuku bonke. Yikho-nje abantu besithi, “Kanti uSawuli laye uphakathi kwabaphrofethi na?”
