1 Samue 13
1 Soli'a 30'a kafu hu'neno Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne. Hagi Israeli vahe'mokizmi kinima mani'neana 42'a kafufi kinia mani'ne.
USawuli wayelomnyaka embusweni wakhe. Esebuse uIsrayeli okweminyaka emibili,
2 Hagi Soli'a 3 tauseni'a Israeli vene'nea sondia vahe mani'nazegu huhampri zmante'ne. Anampintira 2 tauseni'a vene'nea zamavarege'za Mikmasi kumate agrane mani'nazageno, 1 tauseni'a vene'nea huzamantege'za Jonatani'ene Gibea kumate'ene Beteli agona kumate Benzameni naga'mokizmi mopafi umani'naze.
uSawuli wasezikhethela abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kwamaIsrayeli; njalo abayizinkulungwane ezimbili babeloSawuli eMikimashi lentabeni yeBhetheli, lenkulungwane yaba loJonathani eGibeya yakoBhenjamini; labaseleyo babantu wabayekela bahamba, ngulowo lalowo ethenteni lakhe.
3 Hagi anama hute'za Jonatani'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Filistia vahera Geba kumapi ha' ome huzamante'za hara huzamagatere'naze. Hagi ana nanekea mago'a Filistia vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ke'a eme antahisazegu, Soli'a eri'za vahe'a huzamantege'za maka Israeli vahe kumapi ufenare'za vu'naze.
UJonathani wasetshaya ibutho lenqaba yamaFilisti eyayiseGeba, lamaFilisti akuzwa. USawuli wasevuthela uphondo elizweni lonke esithi: AmaHebheru kawezwe.
4 Hagi Soli'ma ha'ma Filistia vahe'ma huzmante nanekema miko Israeli vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za eri hantage'za Solina Giliati ome age'naze.
UIsrayeli wonke wezwa kuthiwa uSawuli utshayile ibutho lenqaba yamaFilisti lokuthi uIsrayeli laye waba levumba kumaFilisti. Abantu basebebizelwa ndawonye ukulandela uSawuli baye eGiligali.
5 Ana'ma hazage'za Filistia vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe'ma ha' huzmantenakura, 30 tauseni'a karisi e'neri'za, hosifima nevu'za ha'ma nehaza vahera 6 tauseni'agi, sondia vahera rama hu'za hagerinkenafi kahepankna hige'za haprigara osuga'a vahe Mikmasi mareri'za zage hanati kaziga Bet Aven seli nona emeki'za mani'naze.
AmaFilisti asebuthana ukuthi alwe loIsrayeli, inqola eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, labagadi bamabhiza abayizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, labantu abalingana letshebetshebe elisekhunjini lolwandle ngobunengi; enyuka amisa inkamba eMikimashi, empumalanga kweBeti-Aveni.
6 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za anazama nege'za antahi'zana, rama'a Filistia vaheki'za hara huragateregahaze'ma nehu'za, mago'amo'za havegampi ufrakizageno, mago'amo'za trampi ufrakizageno, mago'amo'za ranra havegampi frakizageno, mago'amo'za tinkerifi fraki'naze.
Kwathi amadoda akoIsrayeli ebona ukuthi asekuminyezelweni, ngoba abantu bacindezelwa, abantu bacatsha embalwini lezixukwini zameva, lemadwaleni, lezinqabeni, lemigodini.
7 Hagi mago'amo'za Jodani timofo kantu kaziga takahe'za Gatine Giliati mopafi vu'naze. Hianagi Soli'a Gilgali kumate mani'nege'za agranema mani'naza sondia vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehu'za zamahirahiku hu'naze.
LamaHebheru achapha iJordani, aya elizweni leGadi leGileyadi. Kodwa uSawuli wayelokhu eseGiligali, labantu bonke bathuthumela bemlandela.
8 Hagi ana kumatera 7ni'a zagegna Samuelima navega antenka manio hu'negu Soli'a avega anteno 7ni'a zagegna mani'ne. Hianagi Samueli'a ana kumatera omege'za Soli sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Waselinda insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengesikhathi esamiswa nguSamuweli; kodwa uSamuweli kafikanga eGiligali, labantu bahlakazeka besuka kuye.
9 Ana hazageno Soli'a huno, Kre fananehu ofane rimpa fru ofane erita eho, hige'za eri'za ageno, anante agra'a kre fanane hu ofa hu'ne.
USawuli wasesithi: Sondezani kimi umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula. Wasenikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
10 Hagi Soli'a ana ofama huvaneregeno, Samueli'a egeno Soli'a azeri frufra huno avrenaku vu'ne.
Kwasekusithi eseqede ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, khangela, uSamuweli wafika; uSawuli wasephuma ukumhlangabeza ukuze ambingelele.
11 Hianagi Samueli'a antahigeno, Na'a amazana nehane, huno Solina antahige'ne. Higeno Soli'a kenona huno, Nagra koge'za sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za e'za nehazageno, kagra kema hu'nana knarera eohanatinke'za, Filistia ha' vahe'mo'zama Mikmasima eri atruma hazage'na,
USamuweli wasesithi: Wenzeni? USawuli wasesithi: Ngoba ngibone ukuthi abantu babehlakazeka besuka kimi, lawe ungafikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo sezinsuku, lokuthi amaFilisti asebuthene eMikimashi.
12 meni Filistia vahe'mo'za Gilgalia erami'za hara eme hunantegahaze hu'na nagra nagesa antahi'noe. E'ina hu'negu nagra'a Ra Anumzamofona antahi onke'nena ofa hanue hu'na ofa hu'noe.
Ngakho ngathi: Khathesi amaFilisti azangehlela eGiligali, ngingancenganga ubuso beNkosi. Ngasengizibamba ngamandla, nganikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
13 Higeno Samueli'a huno, Kagra neginagi vahekna hunka Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofo kasege'a ovaririne. Kagrama kasege'a avaririnka vantesina, Israeli vahe'mokizmi kinia kagrane naga'kamo'zane manivava huta vazasine.
USamuweli wasesithi kuSawuli: Wenze ngobuwula; kawuwugcinanga umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakulaya wona; ngoba khathesi iNkosi ibizawumisa umbuso wakho koIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
14 Hianagi kagri nagapima kini eri'zama me'neana amare menina eme vagaregahie. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo kasegea rutagre'nane. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a ko mago nera Agri avesizama nevariria nera ko huhampri ante'neankino, ana ne'mo Ra Anumzamofo vahetera kinia manigahie.
Kodwa khathesi umbuso wakho kawuyikuma. INkosi isizidingele umuntu ngokwenhliziyo yayo, njalo iNkosi isimlayile ukuthi abe ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bayo, ngoba kawugcinanga lokho iNkosi ekulaye khona.
15 Hagi Samueli'a ana huteno Gilgalia atreno vigeno, Soli'a agranema mani'naza sondia vahe'ma hampriana 600'a vaheke mani'naze.
USamuweli wasesukuma wenyuka esuka eGiligali waya eGibeya yakoBhenjamini. USawuli wasebala abantu abaficwa belaye, phose abangamakhulu ayisithupha.
16 Hagi Soliki nemofo ne' Jonataniki, anama agranema mani'naza sondia vahe'mo'zanena Benzameni naga'mofo mopafi Geba kumate mani'nazageno, Filistia vahe'mo'za Mikmasi kumate seli nonku'ma eme ante'za mani'naze.
Njalo uSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe labantu abaficwa belabo bahlala eGibeya yakoBhenjamini, kodwa amaFilisti amisa inkamba eMikimashi.
17 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za kuma'ma ankanire'za ha'ma hu vahera 3'afi refako hute'za, seli nonkuma'ma ante'za mani'nafintira atirami'za vu'naze. Hagi mago sondia kevumo'za Ofra kumara Suali mopa kaziga zamavugosa hunte'za vazageno,
Abachithi basebephuma enkambeni yamaFilisti ngezigaba ezintathu; esinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yeOfira, saya elizweni leShuwali;
18 mago kevumo'za Beta Horonima vu'nea kantega vazageno, mago kevumo'za ana mopa atuparegama vu'nea kantega vu'za Zeboimi agupofima hagage kokantega urami'nea avaparega urami'naze.
lesinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yeBhethi-Horoni; lesinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yomngcele okhangele esihotsheni seZeboyimi ngasenkangala.
19 Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahepina aenireti'ma ha'zantamima trohu vahera omani'naze. Filistia vahe'mo'za ha'zama aeniretima tro'ma hu'zana rempi huozamiho hu'za hunagru Israeli vahera huzmante'naze.
Njalo kwakungatholakali mkhandi elizweni lonke lakoIsrayeli, ngoba amaFilisti athi: Hlezi amaHebheru enze izinkemba loba imikhonto.
20 Hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za hozama e'neri'za zantamina, witi hoza tinkama nesaza aenima, kazintamima, sa'umema, witi tagahu agena fagigi kazima, pikiruma kume'ma kanenakura, eri'za Filistia vahete vutere hu'naze.
UIsrayeli wonke-ke wehlela kumaFilisti ukulola, ngulowo lalowo isikali sakhe sekhuba, lemataka yakhe, lehloka lakhe, lesikela yakhe.
21 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama ana zantamima kume'ma kanenakuma vazageno'a, Filistia vahe'mo'za 6gis kine hu'za miza agi ahezamante'naze.
Imbadalo yezikali zekhuba lamamataka lamafologwe alencijo ezintathu lamahloka lokulungisa izincijo yayiyipimi.
22 Hagi ha'ma hunaku'ma hazankna zupa Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za bainati kazine karugru kevenena e'ori'nazanki Soli'ene Jonatanike zanagrake ha'zana e'ri'na'e.
Ngakho kwathi ngosuku lwempi kakutholakalanga inkemba loba umkhonto esandleni saloba ngubani wabantu ababeloSawuli lababeloJonathani; kodwa kwatholakala kuSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe.
23 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za Mikmasima uhanati'nea kama amago'nama hu'nere seli nonkumara ome ante'za mani'naze.
Lebutho lenqaba yamaFilisti laphuma laya emkhandlweni weMikimashi.
