Kwasekusenyuka uNahashi umAmoni, wamisa inkamba maqondana leJabeshi-Gileyadi; wonke amadoda eJabeshi asesithi kuNahashi: Yenza isivumelwano lathi, sizakusebenzela.
2 Hagi Nahasi'a kenonazmirera anage hu'ne, tamagranema huhagerafi kema hanuana, nagra maka vahe'mota tamaga kaziga tamavurga tagati atregahue. Ana hanugeno Israeli vahe'mo'za zamagazegu hugahaze.
Kodwa uNahashi umAmoni wathi kibo: Ngizasenza phezu kwalokhu isivumelwano lani, ukuze ngilikopole wonke amehlo awesokunene njalo ngehlisele uIsrayeli wonke ihlazo.
3 Hagi Jabesi kumate ranra vahe'mo'za ananke nona'a Nahasina amanage hu'za asami'naze, 7ni'a zagegna tavega ante'nenketa, Israeli vahe'mo'zama eme taza hu'za tagumavazi'nagura kato vahera huzmantamnena kea eri'za vu'za Israeli vahera ome zamasamiho. Hagi zamagrama eme taza osanazana, nazano tamagrama hurantenaku'ma hazazana tamagrite maka'mota esunketa hurantegahaze.
Abadala beJabeshi basebesithi kuye: Siyekele okwensuku eziyisikhombisa ukuze sithume izithunywa kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli. Uba-ke kungekho ongasisindisa, sizaphuma size kuwe.
4 Hagi Nahasi'ma ana kere'ma hu izo'ma hige'za, Jabesi vahe'mo'za mago'a vahe huzamantage'za Soli kumatega Gibea kea eri'za vu'naze. Hagi ana ke'ma ome nezamasamige'za, miko vahe'mo'za nentahi'za ranke hu'za zavira ate'naze.
Izithunywa zasezifika eGibeya kaSawuli, zalandisa amazwi endlebeni zabantu, labantu bonke baphakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi.
5 Hagi anama hu'za zavi krafama nehazageno'a, Soli'a hozaregati eri'zama e'neria bulimakaoma'ane ne-eno eme nezamageno anage hu'ne, naza fore hu'negeta miko vahe'mota zavira netaze, huno zamantahigege'za? Jabesi vahe'mo'za hu'naza kea agrira asami'naze.
Khangela-ke, uSawuli weza emva kwezinkabi evela emasimini, uSawuli wathi: Kwenze njani ebantwini ukuthi bakhale? Basebemtshela amazwi amadoda eJabeshi.
6 Hagi Soli'ma anankema nentahigeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a agritera hanavetino egeno, Solina tusi arimpa ahe'ne.
UMoya kaNkulunkulu wafika ngamandla phezu kukaSawuli lapho esizwa lawomazwi, lolaka lwakhe lwavutha kakhulu.
7 Hagi Soli'a tare bulimakao'a aheno tagarago huno eri nezamino, ama ame'a erita nevuta, mika Israeli vahera amanage huta nanekea ome zamasamiho. Iza'o Soline Samuelinema amage'ma ontesimofona, ama bulimakaonte'ma fore'ma hianknaza fore humigahie. Hige'za ana nanekema nentahizageno'a Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri zamagogofege'za miko vahe'mo'za eri mago hu'za eme atru hu'naze.
Wasethatha inkabi ezimbili, waziquma zaba yiziqa, wazithumela kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli ngesandla sezithunywa esithi: Ongaphumi alandele uSawuli alandele loSamuweli, kuzakwenziwanje enkabini zakhe. Ukwesaba iNkosi kwasekusehlela phezu kwabantu, baphuma njengamuntu munye.
8 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Bezeke kumate'ma azageno Soli'ma zamazeri ante fatgoma huno'ma hampri'neana, Israeli sondia vahera 300 tauseni'a sondia vahe manizageno, Juda sondia vahera 30 tauseni'a sondia vahe mani'naze.
Lapho ebabala eBezeki, abantwana bakoIsrayeli babe yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu, lamadoda akoJuda eyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
9 Hagi anama hute'za kema eri'za e'naza vahera amanage hu'za huzmante'naze, oki'na zagema hanatino mareri'nenigeno tamaza hu'zana fore hugahie huta Jabes vahera ome zamasamiho. Hagi ana nanekema eme zamasamizage'za Jabesi vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze.
Basebesithi kuzo izithunywa ezazifikile: Lizawatshela njalo amadoda eJabeshi-Gileyadi lithi: Kusasa lizakuba losindiso nxa ilanga selitshisa. Lapho izithunywa zifika zawatshela amadoda eJabeshi, athokoza.
10 Anante Jabesi vahe'mo'za Nahasina asami'za, okina tagra atiramisunketa nazano hurantenaku'ma hanaza zana hurantegahaze.
Ngakho amadoda eJabeshi athi: Kusasa sizaphumela kini, lenze kithi njengakho konke okulungileyo emehlweni enu.
11 Hagi kora otu'negeno nanterame Soli'a sondia vahera 3'a kevu refako hige'za, Amori vahe kumapi ufre'za ha' huzmante'za bainati kazinknonteti zamahe'za rukafri makafri nehazageno vuno feruse'ne. Ana hazage'za osi'ama maniza Amori vahe'mo'za panani hu'za ufre efre hu'naze.
Kwasekusithi kusisa, uSawuli wamisa abantu ngezigaba ezintathu; bafika phakathi kwenkamba ngomlindo wekuseni; bamtshaya uAmoni lwaze lwatshisa usuku; kwasekusithi abaseleyo bahlakazeka, kwaze kwathi kakusalanga kibo ababili bendawonye.
12 Hagi ana hute'za Samuelina antahige'za, ina vahe'mo'za hu'za Soli'a kva huorantegahie hu'za hu'naze? Zamavreta amare enketa zamahe frimneno.
Abantu basebesithi kuSamuweli: Ngubani othe: USawuli uzabusa yini phezu kwethu? Baletheni labobantu ukuze sibabulale.
13 Hianagi Soli'a kenona huno, magore huta Israeli vahera zamahe ofrigahune. Na'ankure menina Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera zamahokeno zamavare'ne.
Kodwa uSawuli wathi: Kakuyikubulawa muntu ngalolusuku, ngoba lamuhla iNkosi yenze inkululeko koIsrayeli.
14 Hagi Samueli'a huno, enketa Gilgali vuta ete mago'ane hu'ama huta Soli'a kini mani'ne huta eri hanavetita vahera zamasamisune.
USamuweli wasesithi ebantwini: Wozani siye eGiligali, sivuselele umbuso khona.
15 Hige'za miko vahe'mo'za Gilgali vu'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga Soli'a kini mani'ne hu'za mago'ene azeri hanaveti kea hu'naze. Hagi anantega arimpa fru ofa nehu'za, Soli'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'za tusi musenkase hu'naze.
Bonke abantu basebesiya eGiligali, bambeka khona uSawuli waba yinkosi phambi kweNkosi eGiligali. Bahlaba khona imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi, lalapho uSawuli lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli bathokoza kakhulukazi.
