Samuel 1 22
1 Ale David dzo le Gat eye wòsi yi Adulam ƒe agado me; le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, nɔviawo kple ƒometɔwo va tsi egbɔ le afi ma.
UDavida wasuka eGathi wabalekela ebhalwini lwase-Adulami. Kwathi abafowabo labendlu kayise sebekuzwile, baya kuye khonale.
2 Tete ame siwo nɔ hiãkame aɖe me abe fenyilawo ene alo ame siwo nu tɔxɛ aɖe nɔ fu ɖem na la de asi egbɔ vava me va se ɖe esime wòva zu tatɔ na ame abe alafa ene ene.
Bonke labo ababelosizi loba ababelemilandu kumbe ababelensolo babuthana kuye, wasesiba ngumkhokheli wabo. Abantu ababelaye babengaba zinkulungwane ezine.
3 Emegbe la, David yi Mizpa le Moab nyigba dzi be yeabia mɔfiala ale be ye fofo kple ye dada nava nɔ afi ma le fia la ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te, va se ɖe esime yeanya nu si Mawu le wɔwɔ ge na ye.
Esuka lapho uDavida waya eMizipha kwelaseMowabi wathi enkosini ye-Mowabi, “Ungabavumela yini ubaba lomama ukuba bazehlala lawe ngize ngazi uNkulunkulu azangenzela khona na?”
4 Ale wonɔ Moab nyigba dzi le David ƒe agado la me nɔɣi la katã.
Ngakho wabatshiya enkosini yaseMowabi njalo bahlala layo sonke isikhathi uDavida esenqabeni.
5 Gbe ɖeka la, Nyagblɔɖila Gad gblɔ na David be wòadzo le agado la me eye wòatrɔ ayi Yuda. Ale David yi ave aɖe me le Heret.
Kodwa umphrofethi uGadi wathi kuDavida, “Ungahlali enqabeni. Yana elizweni lakoJuda.” Ngakho uDavida wasuka waya ehlathini laseHerethi.
6 Esi wòva ɖo afi ma tetee ko la, Saul se be eva ɖo Yudanyigba dzi elabena Saul nɔ Gibea ɣe ma ɣi. Enɔ anyi ɖe oɖumti aɖe te nɔ fefem kple eƒe yi eye eƒe aʋafiawo ƒo xlãe.
Ngalesosikhathi uSawuli wezwa ukuthi uDavida labantu bakhe babebonakele. Njalo uSawuli, ephethe umkhonto ngesandla, wayehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somthamarisiki phezu koqaqa eGibhiya, lazozonke izikhulu zakhe zimi zimhanqile.
7 Esi wòse nya sia la, egblɔ be, “Miɖo tom, mi Benyaminviwo! Ɖe David do ŋugbe na mi be yeana agbledenyigbawo kple waingblewo mi eye yeado mi ɖe ŋgɔ le aʋakɔ la mea?
USawuli wathi kuzo, “Lalelani bantu bakoBhenjamini! Kambe indodana kaJese izalipha lonke amasimu lezivini na? Kambe lonke izalenza libe ngabalawuli bezinkulungwane labalawuli bamakhulu na?
8 Esia tae mietsi tsitre ɖe ŋunyea? Mia dometɔ aɖeke megblɔ nam kpɔ be nye ŋutɔ vinye le David dzi o. Miexa nu ɖe nunye gɔ̃ hã o. Mibu eŋu kpɔ! Nye ŋutɔ vinye nado ŋusẽ David be woade xa ɖe ŋunye abe ale si wòwɔ egbea ene.”
Kungenxa yalokho lonke selicebe okubi ngami na? Kakho ongitshelayo nxa indodana yami isenza isivumelwano lendodana kaJese. Kakho owenu okhathazekayo ngami loba angitshele ukuthi indodana yami itshotshozela izinceku zami ukuba zingicathamele, njengalokhu ekwenzayo lamhla.”
9 Ke Doeg, Edomtɔ, si nɔ tsitre kple Saul ƒe amewo le afi ma la gblɔ be, “Esi menɔ Nɔb la, mekpɔ Yese viŋutsu la wònɔ dze ɖom kple Ahimelek, Ahitub viŋutsu la.
Kodwa uDoyegi, umʼEdomi, owayemi lezikhulu zikaSawuli wathi, “Mina ngibone indodana kaJese isiya ku-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi eNobhi.
10 Abimelek bia nu Yehowa nɛ, ena nuɖuɖui eye wòtsɔ Goliat, Filistitɔ la, ƒe yi hã nɛ.”
U-Ahimeleki umbuzele kuThixo; waphinda wamnika ukudla lenkemba kaGoliyathi umFilistiya.”
11 Ale Fia Saul ɖo du ɖe nunɔla Ahimelek, Ahitub viŋutsu kple eƒe ƒometɔwo katã, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo le Nɔb eye wova fia la gbɔ.
Lapho-ke inkosi yathumela ilizwi lokubiza umphristi u-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi labo bonke abendlu kayise, ababengabaphristi eNobhi, yikho bonke baya enkosini.
12 Saul gblɔ na Abimelek be, “Ɖo tom, wò Ahitub viŋutsu!” Abimelek ɖo eŋu be, “Mele to ɖom nye aƒetɔ.”
USawuli wasesithi, “Khathesi-ke lalela, ndodana ka-Ahithubi.” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, nkosi yami.”
13 Saul biae be, “Nu ka tae wò kple David, miebla ɖe ŋunye? Nu ka ta wò Yese vi nèna nuɖuɖui, tsɔ yi de asi nɛ eye nèbia gbe Mawu tso eŋu gblɔ nɛ? Nu ka ta nèdo ŋusẽe be wòatso ɖe ŋunye eye wòava afi sia, aho aʋa ɖe ŋunye?”
USawuli wasesithi kuye, “Kungani licebe okubi ngami, wena lendodana kaJese, wayinika isinkwa lenkemba njalo wayibuzela kuNkulunkulu, okwenze yangihlamukela njalo yangicathamela, njengalokhu ekwenzayo lamhla na?”
14 Ahimelek ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ɖe ame ɖeka aɖe le wò subɔlawo katã dome si nye nuteƒewɔla na wò abe wò toyɔvi, David enea? Eyae nye ŋuwòmewo ƒe amegã eye wòganye wò aƒemetɔ si amewo buna la.
U-Ahimeleki waphendula wathi, “Ngubani kuzozonke izinceku zakho othembeke njengoDavida, umkhwenyana wenkosi, induna yabakulindayo njalo lohlonitshwa kakhulu endlini yakho na?
15 Menye esiae nye zi gbãtɔ si mebia nya Mawu tso eŋu o! Menyo be nàtsɔ nya ɖe nye kple nye ƒometɔwo ŋu alea o elabena míenya naneke tso nya sia si nètsɔ ɖe mía ŋu la ŋu o.”
Ngalelolanga ngangiqala ukumbuzela kuNkulunkulu na? Hatshi impela! Inkosi kayingethesi inceku yakho icala loba omunye wabendlu kayise, ngoba inceku yakho kayazi lutho lakancane ngodaba lonke lolu.”
16 Fia Saul do ɣli be, “Wò, Ahimelek kple wò ƒometɔwo katã miaku!”
Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Ngeqiniso uzakufa, Ahimeleki, wena labo bonke abendlu kayihlo.”
17 Eɖe gbe na eƒe asrafowo be, “Miwu nunɔla siawo katã elabena wobla kple David ɖe ŋunye; wonya be ele sisim le nunye, ke womegblɔe nam o!” Ke asrafoawo gbe womewu Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo o.
Inkosi yasilaya abalindi ababephansi kwayo yathi, “Phendukani libulale abaphristi bakaThixo ngoba labo basekele uDavida. Babekwazi ukuthi uyabaleka, kodwa kabangitshelanga.” Kodwa izikhulu zenkosi zazingafuni ukuphakamisa izandla ukuba zigalele abaphristi bakaThixo.
18 Fia la ɖe gbe na Doeg be, “Wò ŋutɔ wu wo!” Ale Doeg, Edomtɔ la wu nunɔla blaenyi-vɔ-atɔ̃wo le esime wonɔ nunɔlawo ƒe awu me.
Ngakho inkosi yalaya uDoyegi yathi, “Phenduka ugalele abaphristi!” UDoyegi umʼEdomi waphenduka wabagongoda. Mhlalokho wabulala abantu abangamakhulu ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu ababegqoka izembatho zemahlombe ezelineni.
19 Le esia yome la, eyi Nɔb, nunɔlawo ƒe du me eye wòwu nunɔlawo ƒe ƒometɔwo, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple vidzĩwo hekpe ɖe woƒe nyiwo, tedziwo kple alẽwo ŋu.
Wabuye wahlasela iNobhi ngenkemba, umuzi wabaphristi, lamadoda ayo kanye labesifazane, abantwana bayo lensane, lenkomo zayo, obabhemi kanye lezimvu.
20 Eye Ahitub vi, Ahimelek ƒe vi ɖeka si ŋkɔ nye Abiata la si dze David yome.
Kodwa u-Abhiyathari, indodana ka-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi, waphunyuka wabaleka wayamanyana loDavida.
21 Esi Abiata gblɔ nu si Saul wɔ na David la,
Watshela uDavida ukuthi uSawuli wayebulele abaphristi bakaThixo.
22 David do ɣli gblɔ na Abiata be, “Menya nenema! Esi mekpɔ Doeg, Edomtɔ la le afi ma la, menya be agblɔe na Saul. Azɔ la, mehe ku vɛ na fofowò ƒe ƒometɔwo katã.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhiyathari, “Ngaloluyana usuku, lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayekhona, ngakwazi ukuthi uzamtshela ngempela uSawuli. Ngilecala lokufa kwabendlu kayihlo bonke.
23 Nɔ gbɔnye le afi sia. Mègavɔ̃ o elabena ame si le nye ku dim lae le wò hã tɔ di ge; ànɔ dedie le gbɔnye.”
Hlala lami; ungesabi; umuntu ofuna ukukubulala lami futhi ufuna ukungibulala. Uvikelekile nxa ulami.”
