1 Lokacin da Dawuda yake mulki, an yi yunwa shekara uku a jere; saboda haka Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji. Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda Shawulu ne da alhakin jinin gidansa; domin ya kashe Gibeyonawa.”
Ekubuseni kukaDavida kwaba lendlala iminyaka emithathu ilandelana; ngakho uDavida wabuza uThixo. UThixo wathi, “Kungenxa kaSawuli lendlu yakhe enindwe ngegazi; kungenxa yokuthi yena wabulala amaGibhiyoni.”
2 Sai sarki ya tattara Gibeyonawa ya yi musu magana. (To, Gibeyonawa ba sashen Isra’ilawa ba ne, amma mutanen Amoriyawa ne da suka ragu, waɗanda Isra’ila ta rantse za tă bari da rai, amma Shawulu cikin kishinsa don Isra’ila da Yahuda ya yi ƙoƙari yă hallaka su duka.)
Inkosi yabiza amaGibhiyoni yakhuluma lawo. (AbaseGibhiyoni babengasiyo ngxenye ka-Israyeli kodwa babengabasalayo bama-Amori, abako-Israyeli babefunge ukubayekela, kodwa uSawuli ngenxa yokutshisekela kwakhe u-Israyeli loJuda wafuna ukubaqeda du.)
3 Dawuda ya ce wa Gibeyonawa, “Me zan yi muku? Yaya zan yi kafara domin ku sa wa masu gādon Ubangiji albarka?”
UDavida wabuza amaGibhiyoni wathi, “Kuyini engingalenzela khona na? Ngingakwenza njani ukubuyisana ukuze libusise ilifa likaThixo na?”
4 Gibeyonawa suka ce, “Ba mu da’yanci mu nemi zinariya ko azurfa daga wurin Shawulu ko gidansa, ba mu kuwa da wani’yanci mu sa a kashe wani a Isra’ila.” Dawuda ya ce, “To, me kuke so in yi muku?”
AmaGibhiyoni amphendula athi, “Kasilalo ilungelo lokufuna isiliva loba igolide kuSawuli kumbe kwabendlu yakhe, lelungelo lokubulala umuntu ko-Israyeli kasilalo.” UDavida wabuza wathi, “Pho lifuna ukuthi ngilenzeleni?”
5 Suka ce wa sarki, “Mutumin da ya hallaka mu ya kuma yi mana makirci don kada mu kasance tare da Isra’ilawa ko’ina a cikin ƙauyukansu,
Bayiphendula inkosi bathi, “Umuntu owasichithayo waceba okubi ngathi saze satshabalala njalo kasaze saba lendawo loba ngaphi ko-Israyeli,
6 a ba mu zuriyarsa maza bakwai, mu kashe su, mu kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji a Gibeya na Shawulu wannan zaɓaɓɓen Ubangiji.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Zan ba ku su.”
kasinikwe abenzalo yakhe besilisa abayisikhombisa ukuba babulawe balengiswe phambi kukaThixo eGibhiya kaSawuli, okhethiweyo kaThixo.” Ngakho inkosi yathi, “Ngizalinika bona.”
7 Sarki ya ware Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan jikan Shawulu, saboda rantsuwar da take tsakanin Dawuda da Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu a gaban Ubangiji.
Kodwa uMefibhoshethi indodana kaJonathani, indodana kaSawuli, inkosi yamtshiya ngenxa yesifungo phambi kukaThixo phakathi kukaDavida loJonathani indodana kaSawuli.
8 Amma sarki ya ɗauki Armoni da Mefiboshet,’ya’ya biyu maza waɗanda Rizfa’yar Aiya ta haifa wa Shawulu, tare da’ya’ya maza biyar na Merab’yar Shawulu, waɗanda ta haifa wa Adriyel ɗan Barzillai, mutumin Mehola.
Kodwa inkosi yathatha u-Arimoni loMefibhoshethi amadodana amabili endodakazi ka-Ayiya uRizipha, ayemzale loSawuli, kanye lamadodana amahlanu endodakazi kaSawuli uMerabi, ayewazale lo-Adiriyeli indodana kaBhazilayi waseMehola.
9 Ya ba da su ga Gibeyonawa, waɗanda suka kashe su, suka kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji. Dukan bakwai ɗin an kashe su gaba ɗaya; an kashe su a farkon kwanankin girbi, daidai lokacin fara girbin sha’ir.
Yabanikeza kumaGibhiyoni, ababulala abachaya eqaqeni phambi kukaThixo. Bonke beyisikhombisa bafela ndawonye; babulawa ngezinsuku zakuqala zokuvuna, ukuvunwa kwebhali kuqalisa nje.
10 Rizfa’yar Aiya ta ɗauki tsumma ta yi wa kanta shimfiɗa a kan dutse. Tun daga farkon girbi har ruwa damina ya sauko a kan gawawwakin, ba tă yarda tsuntsayen sama su taɓa su da rana ko mugayen namun jeji da dare ba.
URizipha indodakazi ka-Ayiya wathatha isaka wazendlalela lona edwaleni. Kusukela ekuqaliseni kokuvuna izulu laze lana livela emazulwini linetha izidumbu, kavumelanga izinyoni zasemoyeni ukuba zizithinte emini loba izinyamazana zeganga ebusuku.
11 Da aka gaya wa Dawuda abin da Rizfa’yar Aiya ƙwarƙwaran Shawulu ta yi,
Kwathi uDavida esetshelwe ngokwakwenziwe yindodakazi ka-Ayiya uRizipha, umfazi kaSawuli weceleni,
12 sai ya je ya kwashe ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad (Gama mutanen sun saci gawawwakin Shawulu da Yonatan daga inda Filistiyawa suka kakkafa su a kan itace a filin Bet-Shan, bayan da Filistiyawa suka kashe su a Gilbowa.)
wahamba wayathatha amathambo kaSawuli lawendodana yakhe uJonathani ebantwini baseJabheshi Giliyadi. (Babewathathe ensitha enkundleni kazulu eBhethi-Shani, lapho amaFilistiya ayewachaye khona emva kokubulala kwawo uSawuli eGilibhowa.)
13 Dawuda ya kawo ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga can, a kuma aka tattara dukan ƙasusuwan waɗanda Gibeyonawan suka kashe, suka kuma rataye.
UDavida wawathatha khonapho amathambo kaSawuli lawendodana yakhe uJonathani, lamathambo alabo ababebulawe babuye bachaywa abuthwa.
14 Suka binne ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan a kabarin Kish, mahaifin Shawulu, a Zela a Benyamin. Suka kuma yi kome da sarki ya umarta. Bayan wannan Allah ya ji addu’arsu a madadin ƙasar.
Amathambo kaSawuli lawendodana yakhe uJonathani bawangcwaba ethuneni likasekaSawuli uKhishi, eZela koBhenjamini, benza konke njengokulaya kwenkosi. Emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wayiphendula imikhuleko eyenzelwa ilizwe.
15 Har yanzu yaƙi ya sāke ɓarke tsakanin Filistiyawa da Isra’ila. Sai Dawuda ya gangara tare da mutanensa don su yaƙi Filistiyawa, gajiya ta kama shi.
Kwaphinda kwaba lempi futhi phakathi kwamaFilistiya lo-Israyeli. UDavida wahamba labantu bakhe ukuyakulwa lamaFilistiya, wasedinwa.
16 Ishbi-Benob kuwa, wani daga zuriyar Rafa, wanda nauyin kan māshinsa na tagulla ya yi shekel ɗari uku, wanda yake kuma da sabon māshi, ya ce zai kashe Dawuda.

17 Amma Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya kawo wa Dawuda gudummawa; ya bugi Bafilistin, ya kashe shi. Sa’an nan mutanen Dawuda suka rantse masa suka ce, “Ba za ka ƙara fita tare da mu wurin yaƙi ba, don kada fitilar Isra’ila tă mutu.”
Kodwa u-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya wamhlenga uDavida; wamcakazela phansi umFilistiya lowo wambulala. Abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye bathi, “Kawuyikuhamba lathi futhi empini, ukuze isibane sika-Israyeli singacitshwa.”
18 Ana nan, sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa, a Gob. A lokacin Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Saf, wani daga zuriyar Rafa.
Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi kwaba lenye impi futhi lamaFilistiya, eGobi. Ngalesosikhathi uSibhekhayi umHushathi wabulala uSafi, omunye wabosendo kaRafa.
