I Samuela 19
1 OLELO aku la o Saula ia Ionatana i kana keiki, a i kana poe kauwa a pau, e pepehi ia Davida:
USawuli wasekhuluma kuJonathani indodana yakhe lakuzo zonke inceku zakhe ukuthi babulale uDavida. Kodwa uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wayemthanda kakhulukazi uDavida.
2 Aka o Ionatana, ke keiki a Saula ua nui kona aloha ia Davida. Hai aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, i aku la, Ke imi nei o Saula, ko'u makuakane, e pepehi ia oe. Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e malama ia oe iho a kakahiaka, a e noho ma kahi malu, a e huna ia oe iho.
UJonathani wasemtshela uDavida esithi: USawuli ubaba udinga ukukubulala; ngakho-ke ake uzinanzelele ekuseni, uhlale ekusithekeni, ucatshe.
3 A e hele aku au mawaho a e ku me ko'u makuakane ma ke kula, ma kou wahi, a e olelo aku au i ko'u makuakane nou, a e hai aku au ia oe i ka'u mea i ike ai.
Mina-ke ngizaphuma ngime eceleni kukababa emmangweni lapho okhona, mina ngizakhuluma ngawe kubaba; lengikubonayo ngizakutshela.
4 A olelo pono aku la o Ionatana ia Saula kona makuakane no Davida, i aku la ia ia, Mai noho a hana hewa ke alii i kana kauwa ia Davida; no ka mea, aole oia i hana hewa mai ia oe, aka, ua pono loa kana hana ana ia oe.
UJonathani wasekhuluma okuhle ngoDavida kuSawuli uyise, wathi kuye: Inkosi kayingayoni inceku yayo, imelane loDavida, ngoba kakonanga wena, langokunjalo imisebenzi yakhe ilungile kakhulu kuwe.
5 Ua waiho oia i kona ola iloko o kona lima, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka Pilisetia, a ua hana mai o Iehova i ke ola nui no ka Iseraela n pau: ua ike no oe, a ua olioli no hoi; no ke aha la oe e hana hewa i ke koko hala ole, e pepehi hala ole ia Davida.
Ngoba wafaka impilo yakhe esandleni sakhe watshaya umFilisti; leNkosi yenzela uIsrayeli wonke usindiso olukhulu. Wakubona, wathokoza. Pho, uzalonelani igazi elingelacala ngokubulala uDavida kungelasizatho?
6 Hoolohe o Saula i ka leo o Ionatana; a hoohiki iho la ma ke ola o Iehova, aole ia e make.
USawuli waselilalela ilizwi likaJonathani, uSawuli wafunga wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kayikubulawa.
7 Kahea aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, a hai aku la o Ionatana ia ia i keia mau mea a pau: a lawe mai oia ia Davida io Saula la, a noho ia imua ona e like me na la mamua.
UJonathani wasembiza uDavida, uJonathani wamtshela wonke lawomazwi. UJonathani wasemletha uDavida kuSawuli, njalo wayephambi kwakhe njengakuqala.
8 A he kana hou: a hele aku la o Davida, a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a pepehi aku la ia lakou me ka luku nui: a holo lakou mai kona alo aku.
Kwabuya kwaba khona impi; uDavida wasephuma walwa lamaFilisti, wawatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu aze ambalekela.
9 A maluna o Saula ka uhane ino na Iehova mai, i kona noho ana iloko o kona hale, me ka ihe ma kona lima: a hookanikani iho la o Davida me kona lima.
Njalo umoya omubi ovela eNkosini wawuphezu kukaSawuli ehlezi endlini yakhe, lomkhonto usesandleni sakhe; loDavida wayetshaya ichacho ngesandla sakhe.
10 Imi aku la o Saula e hou aku ia Davida a i ka paia me ka ihe; a hele aku la ia mai ke alo aku o Saula, a hou aku la ia i ka ihe ma ka paia; a holo aku la o Davida, a pakele iho la ia po.
USawuli wasedinga ukummbandakanya uDavida ngitsho emdulini ngomkhonto; kodwa waphunyuka ebukhoneni bukaSawuli, owahlaba umkhonto emdulini. UDavida wabaleka waphepha ngalobobusuku.
11 A hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele ma ka hale o Davida e kiai ia ia, a e pepehi ia ia i kakahiaka; a hai aku la o Mikala ka wahine a Davida ia ia, i aku la, Ina aole oe e hoopakele i kou ola i keia po, apopo e pepehiia oe.
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa endlini kaDavida ukuze zimqaphele zimbulale ekuseni. UMikhali umkakhe wasemtshela uDavida esithi: Uba ungasindisi impilo yakho ngalobubusuku, kusasa uzabulawa.
12 Kuu iho la o Mikala ia Davida ma ka pukamakani: a hele aku la ia a holo, a pakele aku la.
Ngakho uMikhali wasemehlisa uDavida ngewindi, wasehamba wabaleka waphepha.
13 Lawe ae la o Mikala i kii, a waiho ma kahi moe, a waiho hoi i ka uluna hulu kao ma kona poo, a uhi iho la i ke kapa moe.
UMikhali wasethatha isithombe, wasifaka embhedeni, wabeka umqamelo woboya bembuzi endaweni yekhanda laso, wasembesa ngelembu.
14 A hoouna aku o Saula i na elele e lalau ia Davida, i mai la ka wahine, He mai kona.
Lapho uSawuli ethuma izithunywa ukuthatha uDavida, wathi: Uyagula.
15 Hoouna hou aku o Saula i na elele e ike ia Davida, i aku la, E lawe mai ia ia io'u nei maluna o kahi moe, i pepehi ai au ia ia.
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa ukumbona uDavida esithi: Menyuseleni kimi ngombheda ukuze ngimbulale.
16 A hiki aku la na elele, aia hoi, he kii maluna o kahi moe, me ka uluna hulu kao ma kona poo.
Lapho izithunywa zingena, khangela-ke, kwakulesithombe embhedeni, lomqamelo woboya bembuzi endaweni yekhanda laso.
17 I aku la o Saula ia Mikala, No ke aha la oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u pela, a kuu aku i kuu enemi, i pakele ai ia? I mai la o Mikala ia Saula, Olelo mai no ia ia'u, E kuu ae oe ia'u, no ke aha la e pepehi aku ai au ia oe?
USawuli wasesithi kuMikhali: Ungikhohliseleni kanje, wayekela isitha sami sahamba saphepha? UMikhali wasesithi kuSawuli: Yena uthe kimi: Ngiyekela ngihambe; ngizakubulalelani?
18 A holo aku la o Davida, a pakele aku la, a hele io Samuela la ma Rama, a hai aku la ia ia i na mea a pau a Saula i hana mai ai ia ia; a hele aku la laua me Samuela a noho ma Naiota.
Ngokunjalo uDavida wabaleka waphunyuka, wafika kuSamuweli eRama; wamtshela konke uSawuli ayekwenze kuye. Yena loSamuweli basebesiyahlala eNayothi.
19 A ua haiia ia Saula, i ka i ana ae, Aia hoi o Davida ma Naiota i Rama.
USawuli wasebikelwa kwathiwa: Khangela, uDavida useNayothi eRama.
20 Hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele e lalau ia Davida: a ike lakou i ka poe kaula e wanana ana, a me Samuela e ku ana i hoonohoia maluna o lakou, hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o na elele a Saula, a wanana iho la lakou.
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa ukumthatha uDavida; lapho zibona ixuku labaprofethi beprofetha, loSamuweli emi engumkhokheli phezu kwabo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwezithunywa zikaSawuli, lazo zaseziprofetha.
21 A haiia ia mea ia Saula, hoouna aku la ia i na elele hou, a wanana hoi lakou. A hoouna hou aku la o Saula i na elele, o ke kolu keia, a wanana no hoi lakou.
Lapho ebikelwa uSawuli, wathuma ezinye izithunywa, zona lazo zaprofetha. USawuli wasephinda ethuma izithunywa ngokwesithathu, zona lazo zaprofetha.
22 Alaila hele aku la hoi ia ma Rama, a hiki ma ka punawai nui ma Seku: ninau aku la ia, i aku la, Mahea o Samuela a me Davida? a haiia mai, Aia ma Naiota i Rama.
Laye wasesiya eRama, wafika emthonjeni omkhulu oseSeku, wabuza wathi: Bangaphi oSamuweli loDavida? Kwathiwa: Khangela, eNayothi eRama.
23 A hele aku la ia ma Naiota i Rama: a hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona, a hele aku la ia e wanana ana, a hiki ma Naiota i Rama.
Wasesiya khona eNayothi eRama; loMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwakhe laye; wahamba ehamba eprofetha waze wafika eNayothi eRama.
24 A wehe ae la ia i kona aahu, a wanana ae la hoi ia imua o Samuela, a haule iho la ia me ka aahu ole ia la a pau, a ia po a pau. No ia mea, olelo ae la lakou, O Saula anei kekahi me ka poe kaula?
Laye wasekhulula izigqoko zakhe, laye waprofetha phambi kukaSamuweli, walala phansi enqunu lonke lolosuku labo bonke lobobusuku. Yikho besithi: USawuli laye uphakathi kwabaprofethi yini?
