1 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, Samuel ku eye Israel blibo la ƒo ƒu hena kunu la wɔwɔ. Woɖii ɖe eƒe ƒometɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi le Rama. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, David yi gbedzi le Paran.
Ngalesosikhathi uSamuyeli wafa, kwathi u-Israyeli wonke wabuthana wamlilela; njalo bamngcwaba emzini wakhe eRama. Lapho-ke uDavida wehlela eNkangala yasePharani.
2 Lãnyiƒe nɔ kesinɔtɔ aɖe si tso Maon la si le afi ma te ɖe Karmel ŋu. Alẽ akpe etɔ̃ kple gbɔ̃ akpe ɖeka nɔ esi. Kesinɔtɔ sia va eƒe lãnyiƒe le ɣeyiɣi sia me hena fukoko na eƒe alẽwo.
Umuntu othile waseMawoni, owayelempahla khonale eKhameli, wayenothe kakhulu. Wayelenkulungwane yembuzi lezinkulungwane ezintathu zezimvu ayezigunda eKhameli.
3 Eŋkɔe nye Nabal. Srɔ̃a nye nyɔnu dzetugbe aɖe si ƒe tagbɔ kɔ; eŋkɔe nye Abigail. Nabal nye Kaleb ƒe dzidzimevi, enye ame si meɖɔ ʋu kura o eye wòganye ŋlɔmitɔ kple kɔlialiatɔ hã.
Ibizo lakhe lalinguNabhali lebizo lomkakhe lingu-Abhigeli. Wayengumfazi okhaliphileyo njalo emuhle, kodwa umkakhe, umʼKhalebi, wayelenhliziyo embi kwabanye abantu.
4 Esi David se be Nabal nɔ fu kom na eƒe alẽwo la,
UDavida esenkangala wezwa ukuthi uNabhali wayegunda izimvu.
5 eɖo eƒe ɖekakpui ewo ɖe Karmel be woado gbe na Nabal eye woagblɔ nɛ be,
Ngakho wathuma amajaha alitshumi wathi kuwo, “Hambani kuNabhali eKhameli limbingelele ngebizo lami.
6 “Mawu nana wò kple wò ƒometɔwo miakpɔ dzidzedze eye nu sia nu si nye mia tɔ la nadzi ɖe edzi na mi.
Lithi kuye, ‘Impilo ende kuwe! Impilo enhle kanye labendlu yakho! Impilo enhle kukho konke okungokwakho!
7 Wogblɔ nam be èle fu kom na wò alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo. Le ɣeyiɣi si me wò alẽkplɔlawo nɔ mía dome la, míewɔ nuvevi aɖeke wo kpɔ o eye míefi woƒe naneke kpɔ hã o.
Khathesi ngizwa kuthiwa yisikhathi sokugunda izimvu. Lapho abelusi bakho babelathi, kasibaphathanga kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke beseKhameli akukho lutho olwacatshayo.
8 Wò ɖekakpuiwo ate ŋu aɖi ɖase le nya sia ŋu na wò. Mele nye amewo ɖom ɖa be woabia nunana aɖe tso gbɔwò elabena ŋkekenyui aɖe va tu mí. Míeɖe kuku, na nu sia nu si dze ŋuwò ko la mí.”
Buza izinceku zakho zizakutshela. Ngakho ake ube lomusa ezinsizweni zami, njengoba size ngesikhathi somkhosi. Ake unike izinceku zakho lendodana yakho uDavida loba kuyini ongabatholela khona.’”
9 Ɖekakpuiawo va gblɔ David ƒe nya la na Nabal.
Kwathi abantu bakaDavida sebefikile, bamnika uNabhali umbiko lo ngebizo likaDavida. Emva kwalokho balinda.
10 Ke Nabal bia be, “Ame kae nye David eye ame ka tututue Yese vi sia bu be yenye? Subɔla geɖewo li le ŋkeke siawo me, ame siwo si dzo le woƒe aƒetɔwo gbɔ.
UNabhali waphendula izinceku zikaDavida wathi, “Ungubani uDavida lowo? Ingubani indodana kaJese leyo na? Ngalezizinsuku izinceku ezinengi ziyawabalekela amakhosi azo.
11 Ɖe matsɔ nye abolo kple nye tsi kple lã si mewu na nye fukolawo la ana ameha aɖe si tso afi si nyemenya oa?”
Kungani kumele ngithathe isinkwa sami lamanzi, lenyama engiyihlabele abagundi bami, nginike abantu abavela lapho engingazi khona na?”
12 Ale David ƒe ɖekakpuiawo trɔ gbɔ va gblɔ nya siwo Nabal gblɔ la nɛ.
Abantu bakaDavida baphenduka babuyela emuva. Sebefikile babika amazwi wonke.
13 David ŋutɔ tsɔ eƒe yi eye wòɖe gbe na eƒe amewo hã be woatsɔ woƒe yiwo. Ame alafa ene dze mɔ kple David eye ame alafa eve tsi anyi henɔ woƒe nuwo ŋu dzɔm.
UDavida wasesithi ebantwini bakhe, “Hlomani ngezinkemba zenu!” Ngakho bahloma ngezinkemba zabo, loDavida wahloma ngeyakhe. Abantu ababengaba ngamakhulu amane bahamba loDavida, kwathi abangamakhulu amabili basala lempahla.
14 Nabal ƒe amewo dometɔ ɖeka yi ɖagblɔ na Nabal srɔ̃, Abigail, be, “David ɖo amewo ɖa tso gbedzi be woaƒo nu kple míaƒe aƒetɔ ke míaƒe aƒetɔ dzu wo eye wòblu ɖe wo.
Omunye wezinceku watshela umkaNabhali u-Abhigeli wathi, “UDavida wathuma izithunywa esenkangala ukuzabingelela inkosi yethu, kodwa yona yazithethisa.
15 Ke ame siawo wɔ nyui na mí. Womewɔ nuvevi aɖeke mi o. Le ɣeyiɣi si katã míenɔ gbegbea kpli wo la, míaƒe naneke mebu o.
Ikanti abantu laba thina basiphatha kuhle. Kabazange basiphathe kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke sisegangeni phansi kwabo akulalutho olwacatshayo.
16 Wonye kpɔtɔtɔ ƒo xlã mí zã kple keli esime míenɔ míaƒe alẽhawo dzi kpɔm le wo gbɔ.
Emini lebusuku babengumduli osihonqolozelayo isikhathi sonke siselusela izimvu zethu phansi kwabo.
17 Anyo be nàbu ta me kaba, elabena nya sesẽ aɖe le dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe míaƒe aƒetɔ kple ƒome blibo la dzi. Míaƒe aƒetɔ nye kɔlialiatɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke maƒo nu nɛ wòase o.”
Kucabange ubone ongakwenza ngoba ingozi iyalenga ngaphezu kwenkosi yethu labendlu yayo bonke. Ingumuntu omubi kangaka okungelamuntu ongakhuluma layo.”
18 Abigail ɖe abla enumake, tsɔ abolo alafa eve, wain atigo eve, alẽ atɔ̃ siwo wowu la ƒe lã, bli tɔtɔ agba eve, abolo alafa ɖeka si wowɔ kple waintsetse ƒuƒu kple abolo alafa eve siwo wowɔ kple gbotsetse. Etsɔ nu siawo ɖo tedziwo dzi.
U-Abhigeli kasachithanga sikhathi. Wathatha izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, izikhumba ezimbili zewayini, izimvu ezinhlanu ezihlinziweyo, amagokoko amahlanu amabele akhanzingiweyo, amakhekhe alikhulu amagrebisi awonyisiweyo, lamakhulu amabili amakhekhe omkhiwa okhanyiweyo, wakuthwalisa obabhemi.
19 Egblɔ na eƒe dɔlawo be, “Midze mɔ, madze mia yome” Ke megblɔ nya aɖeke na srɔ̃a, Nabal, o.
Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Hambani phambili; ngizalilandela.” Kodwa umkakhe uNabhali kamtshelanga.
20 Esi wònɔ eƒe tedzia dom va ɖo to aɖe ƒe balime la, David kple eƒe ameawoe nye ekem ɖiɖi gbɔna egbɔ eye wòyi ɖado go wo.
Wathi esiza egade ubabhemi wakhe phakathi kodonga lwentaba, wabona uDavida labantu bakhe besehla beqonde kuye, wasebahlangabeza.
21 Fifi laa ko David gblɔ be, “Nye ame sia ƒe nuwo dzi kpɔkpɔ nɛ le gbea dzi be womefi eƒe naneke o nye dzodzro. Etsɔ vɔ̃ ɖo nyui si mewɔ nɛ la teƒe nam.
UDavida wayesanda kuthi, “Kakusizanga lutho konke ukugcina kwami impahla yomuntu lo enkangala ukuze kungabi lalutho lwakhe olulahlekayo. Ungibhadale okuhle ngokubi.
22 Mawu nefia David eye wòagafiae ɖe edzi ɖaa ne hafi etsɔ ŋdi naɖo la, magblẽ ŋutsu aɖe ɖi nɛ agbagbe!”
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angaphatha uDavida kabuhlungu nxa ekuseni ngitshiya indoda eyodwa iphila kubo bonke abangabakhe!”
23 Esi Abigail kpɔ David la, eɖi le eƒe tedzi dzi enumake eye wòde ta agu ɖe David ŋgɔ.
U-Abhigeli esebone uDavida, wehla ngokuphangisa kubabhemi wakhe wakhothamela phansi phambi kukaDavida ubuso bakhe buthe mbo emhlabathini.
24 Edze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu hegblɔ nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, na be vodada sia nanɔ nye ko dzi. Meɖe kuku, na wò dɔla naƒo nu kpli wò eye nàɖo to nya si le wò dɔla si.
Wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wathi, “Nkosi yami, insolo kayibe phezu kwami ngedwa. Ake uyivumele incekukazi yakho ikhulume lawe; zwana lokho incekukazi yakho efuna ukukutsho.
25 Nye aƒetɔ, megaɖo to Nabal ŋutsu vɔ̃ɖi ma o. Ɖe ko wòle abe aƒe ŋkɔ ene. Eƒe ŋkɔ gɔmee nye Bometsila. Eya ta bometsitsi nɔ eŋu ɖo. Ke nye, wò dɔla, ya la, nyemekpɔ ŋutsu siwo nye aƒetɔ dɔ ɖa la o.
Sengathi inkosi yami ingayekela ukumnaka umuntu omubi lowana uNabhali. Ufuze ibizo lakhe, ibizo lakhe lithi Sithutha, njalo ubuwula buhamba laye. Kodwa-ke mina, incekukazi yakho, angizibonanga insizwa inkosi yami ezithumileyo.
26 Aƒetɔ, zi ale si Yehowa ɖe wò tso amewuwu kple hlɔ̃biabia me ta la, metsɔ Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò ŋutɔ wò agbe le kuku ɖem be fiƒode naɖi wò futɔwo katã, abe Nabal ene, ŋu.
Khathesi njengoba uThixo ekugcinile, nkosi yami, ekuchithekeni kwegazi lasekuphindiseleni ngezandla zakho, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ekhona lanjengoba lawe uphila, sengathi izitha zakho labo bonke abafuna ukwenza okubi kuwe nkosi yami bangaba njengoNabhali.
27 Azɔ la, xɔ nunana siwo metsɔ vɛ na nye aƒetɔ la, na wò kple ɖekakpuiawo.
Njalo isipho lesi, incekukazi yakho esilethe enkosini yami, kasiphiwe insizwa ezikulandelayo.
28 Tsɔ vo si meda be medo dzi heva afi sia la kem. Yehowa aɖo eteƒe na wò kokoko, ana wò fiaɖuƒe nasu wò dzidzimeviwo si eye enu matso akpɔakpɔ o elabena Yehowa ƒe aʋawo wɔm nèle eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e madzɔ ɖe dziwò le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me o.
Ake uthethelele ukona kwencekukazi yakho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu impela uzakwenzela inkosi yami inzalo yamakhosi engapheliyo, ngoba ilwela izimpi zikaThixo. Akungabi lokona okutholwa kuwe kukho konke ukuphila kwakho.
29 Ne amewo ati wò agbe yome hã la, ànɔ dedie le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te, abe ale si ga nɔa dedie le gatɔ ƒe gakotoku me ene! Ke wò futɔwo ƒe agbe abu abe kpe si woda le aŋetu me ene.
Lanxa omunye exotshana lawe ukuba akubulale, ukuphila kwenkosi yami, uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzakubophela kuqine elixheni labaphilayo. Kodwa ukuphila kwezitha zakho uzakuphosela khatshana kungathi kuphuma esikhwameni sesavutha.
30 Ne Yehowa wɔ nyui siwo katã ŋugbe wòdo na wò eye nèzu Israel Fia la,
Lapho uThixo eseyenzele inkosi yami zonke izinto ezinhle azithembisayo mayelana layo, njalo eseyibekile ukuba ngumkhokheli wako-Israyeli,
31 ekema, nye aƒetɔ, màxa nu be yewu ame aɖewo dzodzro alo be yebia hlɔ̃ na ye ɖokui o. Gawu la, ne Yehowa yra wò la, nye aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, ɖo ŋku dzinye!”
inkosi yami kayiyikuba lesazela somthwalo ohloniphisayo sokuchithwa kwegazi esingaswelekiyo loba esokuphindisela. Njalo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eselethele inkosi yami ukuphumelela, uyikhumbule incekukazi yakho.”
32 David ɖo eŋu na Abigail be, “Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si dɔ wò ɖa nèva do gom egbe!
UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhigeli, “Kadunyiswe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okuthumileyo lamhla ukuzabonana lami.
33 Míada akpe na Mawu le susu nyui si wòna wò la ta! Meda akpe na wò be nèɖem tso amewo ƒe ʋukɔkɔɖi kple nye asitsɔtsɔ bia hlɔ̃e la me,
Sengathi ungabusiswa ngenxa yokwahlulela kwakho okuhle lokuvimbela kwakho ekuchitheni igazi lamhla kanye lasekuphindiseleni kwami ngezandla zami.
34 elabena metsɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si na nyemewɔ nuvevi wò o la, ka atam be ne menye ɖe nèva do gom o la, Nabal ƒe amewo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã maganɔ agbe etsɔ ŋdi o.”
Ngoba, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ekhona, yena ongivimbele ekwenzeni okubi kuwe, aluba kawufikanga masinyane ukuzabonana lami, akukho lamunye owesilisa ongokaNabhali obezasala ephila ekudabukeni kokusa.”
35 David xɔ Abigail ƒe nunana la eye wògblɔ nɛ be wòatrɔ ayi aƒe eye megavɔ̃ o elabena yemawu srɔ̃a o.
Emva kwalokho uDavida wamukela esandleni sika-Abhigeli lokho ayemlethele khona wasesithi, “Buyela ekhaya ngokuthula. Ngiwazwile amazwi akho ngasivuma isicelo sakho.”
36 Esi Abigail ɖo aƒe me la, ekpɔ be ye srɔ̃ ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe eye wòmu aha, eya ta megblɔ nya aɖeke nɛ tso eƒe gododo David ŋu o, va se ɖe esime ŋu ke.
U-Abhigeli esebuyele kuNabhali, wayesendlini eledili elinjengelenkosi. Wayejabula njalo edakwe kakhulu. Ngakho u-Abhigeli kamtshelanga lutho kwaze kwasa.
37 Esi aha la kɔ le mo nɛ la, Abigail gblɔ nya sia nya nɛ. Tete eƒe dzi fa ɖe eƒe dɔ me eye wòtsi maʋamaʋã abe kpe ene.
Kwathi ekuseni, uNabhali engasadakwanga, umkakhe wamtshela zonke lezizinto, watshaywa luvalo woma qha.
38 Le ŋkeke ewo megbe la, Yehowa na Nabal ku.
Emva kwensuku ezazingaba litshumi, uThixo wamtshaya uNabhali wafa.
39 Esi David se be Nabal ku la, egblɔ be, “Woakafu Yehowa! Mawu ɖo eteƒe na Nabal eye wòkpe ɖe ŋunye be nye ŋutɔ nyemebia hlɔ̃e o. Exɔ eƒe tohehe le eƒe nu vɔ̃ ta!” David dɔ eƒe dɔlawo ɖe Abigail gbɔ enumake be woagblɔ nɛ be yedi be wòazu ye srɔ̃.
Kwathi uDavida esizwa ukuthi uNabhali wayefile, wathi, “Kabongwe uThixo, yena osekele injongo yami yokumelana loNabhali ngenxa yokungeyisa. Uvimbele inceku yakhe ekwenzeni okubi njalo wehlisela uNabhali izenzo zakhe ezimbi phezu kwelakhe ikhanda.” Emva kwalokho uDavida wathumela ilizwi ku-Abhigeli emcela ukuba abe ngumkakhe.
40 Esi dɔlawo va ɖo Karmel eye wogblɔ nu si ta wova na Abigail la,
Izinceku zakhe zaya eKhameli zathi ku-Abhigeli, “UDavida usithume kuwe ukuba sizekuthatha ukuze ube ngumkakhe.”
41 elɔ̃ ɖe eƒe biabia la dzi enumake. Tete wòtsi tre, eye wòtsyɔ mo anyi gblɔ be, “Wò dɔlanyɔnu aklɔ eƒe aƒetɔ ƒe dɔlawo ƒe afɔ ŋu abe kosi ene.”
U-Abhigeli wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wathi, “Nansi incekukazi yakho, ilungele ukukusebenzela lokugezisa inyawo zezinceku zenkosi yami.”
42 Edzra ɖo kaba, kplɔ nyɔnudɔla atɔ̃ ɖe asi, lia eƒe tedzi dzi eye wòdze dɔlawo yome yi David gbɔ. Ale Abigail zu David srɔ̃.
U-Abhigeli waphanga wagada ubabhemi, ephelekezelwa yizisebenzikazi zakhe ezinhlanu, wahamba lezithunywa zikaDavida wasesiba ngumkakhe.
43 David ɖe srɔ̃ bubu, Ahinoam, tso Yezreel hã.
UDavida wayethethe njalo u-Ahinowama waseJezerili, bobabili-ke baba ngomkakhe.
44 Ke Fia Saul zi via nyɔnu Mixal, ame si nye David srɔ̃ la, dzi wòɖe Palti, Lais vi, tso Galim.
Kodwa uSawuli, indodakazi yakhe uMikhali, umkaDavida, wayeseyinike uPhalithiyeli indodana kaLayishi, owayengowaseGalimi.
