1 Hagi mago zupa Jonatani'a hanko'are'ma erinentea nehaza ne' nevreno anage hu'ne, Egeta Filistia sondia vahe'ma emani'naza kumapi va'maneno, huno higene vu'na'e. Hianagi Jonatani'a vania zamofona nefana osami'ne.

Siku moja Yonathani mwana wa Sauli akamwambia kijana mbeba silaha wake, akasema, “Njoo, tuwavukie Wafilisti kwenye doria upande ule mwingine.” Lakini hakumwambia baba yake.

2 Hagi ana zupa Soli'a sondia vahe'ane Migroni kuma'mofo fegi'a Gibea tava'onte pomegreneti zafa agafafi seli nonkuma ome ante'za mani'naze. Anampina 600'a sondia vahe naza mani'naze.

Sauli alikuwa akikaa kwenye viunga vya Gibea chini ya mkomamanga huko Migroni. Alikuwa pamoja na watu kama 600,

3 Hagi anampina mago nera pristi kukena hu'nea ne' mani'ne. Ana ne' agi'a Ahiza mani'neankino, nefa'a Ahitupu'e. Hagi Ahitupu nefu'a Ikabotie. Hagi Ahiza'a Ahitubu kasentegeno, Ahitubuna Finiasi kasentegeno, Finiasina Eli kasente'ne. Higeno Eli'a za'za kukena hu'neno Ra Anumzamofo pristi eri'za e'nerino Sailo kumate mani'nea nere. Hagi mago vahe'mo'e huno Jonatanima kumama atreno hate'ma viazana keno antahinora osu'ne.

miongoni mwao alikuwepo Ahiya, ambaye alikuwa amevaa kisibau. Alikuwa mwana wa Ikabodi, nduguye Ahitubu mwana wa Finehasi, mwana wa Eli, kuhani wa Bwana huko Shilo. Hakuna yeyote aliyekuwa na habari kwamba Yonathani alikuwa ameondoka.

4 Hagi Filistia vahe'ma krerami'za vu'za e'zama nehaza mehinteti Jonatani'a kreramino Filistia vahe kumapi vunaku agesa antahi'ne. Hagi kantigamama me'na'a mehintremofo zanagi'a, Bozezine Senene.

Kila upande wa njia ambayo Yonathani alikusudia kupita ili kuvuka kufikia doria ya Wafilisti kulikuwepo na jabali; moja lilikuwa linaitwa Bosesi, na jingine Sene.

5 Hagi mago mehina noti kaziga Mikmasi marerigeno, magora Sauti kaziga Geba avuga mareri'ne.

Jabali moja lilisimama kaskazini kuelekea Mikmashi na jingine upande wa kusini kuelekea Geba.

6 Hagi Jonatani'a hanko'ama erinteno nevia nehaza nera asamino, Egeta oku zamavufaga taga osu vahe mopafi va'maneno. Ra Anumzamo agra'a hara taza huno hugahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a vahekuro, osi'a vahekura agesa nontahianki, amne hara hugateregahie.

Yonathani akamwambia kijana wake mbeba silaha, “Njoo, tuvukie doria ya wale jamaa wasiotahiriwa. Huenda Bwana atatenda kwa ajili yetu. Hakuna chochote kitakachoweza kumzuia Bwana kuokoa, kwamba ni kwa wingi au kwa uchache.”

7 Hagi hanko'ama e'neria nehaza ne'mo'a Janataninkura anage hu'ne, Nagra nazanoma hana zana, amane kamage ante'na hugahue.

Mbeba silaha wake akamwambia, “Fanya yale yote uliyo nayo katika moyo wako. Songa mbele; moyo wangu na roho yangu viko pamoja nawe.”

8 Higeno Jonatani'a huno, Egeta rugreramita amate va'manena Filistia vahe'mo'za tageho.

Yonathani akasema, “Basi njoo; tutavuka kuwaelekea hao watu na kuacha watuone.

9 Hagi zamagrama tagriku'ma hu'za anante mani'neketa va'mnenoma hanageta'a, zamagritega marerita ovugahuanki, ama anante otita manigahu'e.

Kama wakituambia, ‘Subirini hapo mpaka tuje kwenu,’ tutakaa pale tulipo na hatutakwea kwao.

10 Hianagi zamagrama hu'za emarerioma hanageta'a tagra marerigahu'e. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a e'i ana vahera tagri tazampi zamavarentegahue huno mago avame'za taveri hugahie.

Lakini kama watasema, ‘Pandeni mje kwetu,’ tutakwea, kwa sababu hiyo itakuwa ishara yetu kwamba Bwana amewatia mikononi mwetu.”

11 Anage nehuke ana taregamoke Filistia vahe'mo'zama kumapinti'ma zanage'are amate ome oti'na'e. Anama hake'za Filistia vahe'mo'za neznage'za amanage hu'naze, Hibru vahe'ma kerifima fraki'naza vahe'mo'za atirami'za azanki, keho.

Basi wote wawili wakajionyesha kwa doria ya Wafilisti. Wafilisti wakasema, “Tazama! Waebrania wanatambaa toka mashimoni walimokuwa wamejificha.”

12 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za Jonatanine hanko'are'ma e'neria ne'enema nezanage'za kezanke hu'za, emareriketa mago'azana rempi huranamisune. Anage'ma hazageno'a Jonatani'a hanko'are'ma e'neria nehaza nera asamino, namefi navaririnka marerio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe zamazampi anamu vahera zamavarentegahie.

Watu wa kwenye doria wakawapigia kelele Yonathani na mbeba silaha wake, wakisema, “Njooni, pandeni kwetu nasi tutawakomesha.” Basi Yonathani akamwambia mbeba silaha wake, “Panda nyuma yangu; Bwana amewatia mikononi mwa Israeli.”

13 Hagi ana mehimpi Jonatani'a azanteti azerino aganuti omere emere huno marenerigeno, hanko'are'ma e'neria nehaza ne'mo'a agumpi avaririno marerigeke, hara ome huke ana vahera zamahe'na'e.

Yonathani akapanda juu, akitumia mikono yake na miguu, pamoja na mbeba silaha wake papo hapo nyuma yake. Wafilisti wakaanguka mbele ya Yonathani, naye mbeba silaha wake akamfuata akiwaua nyuma yake.

14 Hagi Jonatani'ene hanko'are'ma e'neria nehaza ne'enena, ese hapina 20'a vahera 30'a mita naza hu'nea mopafi ome zamahe'na'e.

Katika hilo shambulio la kwanza, Yonathani na mbeba silaha wake waliua kama watu ishirini kwenye eneo kama la nusu eka.

15 Hagi anama higeno'a Filistia sondia vahe'mokizmi kumapima mani'nazane, fegu'ma mani'nazane, kumate kumate'ma nevu'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vahe'ene, miko Filistia vahe'mokizmi mopafina imi erige'za, tusia zamagogogu hu'naze. E'ina korozana Ra Anumzamo eri fore hu'ne.

Kisha fadhaa ikawapata jeshi lote, wale waliokuwa kambini na shambani, wale waliokuwa katika doria na makundi ya washambuliaji, nayo nchi ilitetemeka. Ilikuwa ni hofu ya ghafula iliyotumwa na Mungu.

16 Hagi Benzameni mopa kazigama Soli naga'ma vahe'ma esagu kegava hu'za mani'naza naga'mo'za, kazana Filistia vahe kevu krefamo'za miko kaziga panani hu'za nefrage'za zamage'naze.

Wapelelezi wa Sauli huko Gibea ya Benyamini wakaona jeshi likitokomea pande zote.

17 Ana zama fore higeno'a Soli'a sondia vahe huzmanteno, tamagra sondia vahera hamprita zamazeri antefatgo nehutma, iza amafina omaninefi keho. Hagi ana'ma hu'za hampriza kazana Jonatani'ene hanko'ama e'neria ne-enena omani'nake'za ke'naze.

Ndipo Sauli akawaambia watu wale waliokuwa pamoja naye, “Kagueni jeshi mkaone ni nani ameondoka katikati yetu.” Walipokagua, akawa ni Yonathani na mbeba silaha wake ambao hawakuwepo.

18 Hagi Soli'a Ahizana amanage huno asami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia erinka eno. (Na'ankure ana knarera Israeli vahe'ene ana huhagerafi huvempage vogisia me'negeno hu'ne.)

Sauli akamwambia Ahiya, “Leta Sanduku la Mungu.” (Wakati huo lilikuwa kwa Waisraeli.)

19 Hagi pristi ne'enema kegagama anante'ma nehakeno'a, Filistia vahe kumapima panini hu'zama ufre efreme nehu'za rankege'ma nehaza zamo'a omerura hu'ne. Hianagi Soli'a pristi ne' Ahizana asamino, knareki atregeta hate vanune.

Wakati Sauli alipokuwa akisema na kuhani, makelele katika kambi ya Wafilisti yakaongezeka zaidi na zaidi. Hivyo Sauli akamwambia kuhani, “Rudisha mkono wako.”

20 Anama hige'za Soli'ene miko sondia vahe'ane eri atru hute'za hatera vu'naze. Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za neginagi hu'za zamagra zamagra bainati kazinknonteti ome zamahe fri eme zamahe fri nehazage'za ke'naze.

Kisha Sauli na watu wake wote wakakusanyika na kwenda vitani. Wakawakuta Wafilisti wakiwa wamechanganyikiwa kabisa, wakitiana panga kila mmoja na wenzake.

21 Hagi ko'ma Filistia vahe'enema umani'naza Hibru sondia vahe'mo'za Jonatanine Solikizanirega ante'za Filistia vahera zamahe'naze.

Wale Waebrania ambao walishakuwa pamoja na Wafilisti, na waliokuwa wamepanda pamoja nao katika kambi zao, wakaenda upande wa Waisraeli waliokuwa pamoja na Sauli na Yonathani.

22 Hagi mago'a Israeli vahe'ma Efraemi agona kokampima fraki'za mani'naza vahe'mo'za Filistia vahe'ma atre'za fraze kema nentahi'za, atirami'za zamagranena zamarotgo hu'za hara hu'naze.

Waisraeli wote waliokuwa wamejificha katika nchi ya milima ya Efraimu waliposikia kuwa Wafilisti wamekimbia, wakajiunga vitani na kuwafuata kwa bidii.

23 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a ana zupa Israeli vahera zamaza hige'za, Bet-Avenia hara hugatere'za vu'naze.

Hivyo Bwana akawaokoa Waisraeli siku ile, navyo vita vilienea hadi kupita Beth-Aveni.

24 Hagi ana zupa Israeli vahe'mo'za ne'zana onazageno hanavezami omane amne hu'ne. Na'ankure Soli'a hanavenentake ke huno, ha' vahe'ni'a nona hu'na zamahe'za huankita menina ne'zana oneta mani'ne'nunkeno kinaga omasegahie. Hagi iza'o ne'zama nesimo'a, sifna huntoankino Anumzamo'a azeri haviza hugahie.

Basi watu wa Israeli walikuwa katika dhiki siku ile, kwa sababu Sauli alikuwa amewafunga watu kwa kiapo, akisema, “Alaaniwe mtu yeyote ambaye atakula chakula kabla ya jioni, kabla sijalipiza kisasi juu ya adui zangu!” Kwa hiyo hakuna mtu yeyote katika jeshi aliyeonja chakula.

25 Hagi miko sondia vahe'mo'za zafafi ufre'za kazana tumerima'amo'a aviteno mopafina me'nege'za ke'naze. Hianagi mago'mo'e huno ana tumerina afino one'ne.

Jeshi lote liliingia mwituni, na huko kulikuwepo na asali ardhini.

26 Hagi tume rimo'a aviteno varehirami'neanagi Soli'ma hanave sifna kema hu'nea kegu kore nehu'za magore hu'za eri'za one'naze.

Walipoingia mwituni, wakaona asali ikitiririka, hata hivyo hakuna mtu yeyote aliyetia mkono wake kinywani, kwa sababu waliogopa kiapo.

27 Hagi hanave kema nefa'ma hu'nea kea Jonatani'a ontahi'neankino, azompa'areti tumemofo rima'a reno neneno ame huno ete hanavea erino ruvunase'ne.

Lakini Yonathani alikuwa hajasikia kuwa baba yake alikuwa amewafunga watu kwa kiapo, hivyo akainyoosha ncha ya fimbo iliyokuwa mkononi mwake na kuichovya katika sega la asali. Akainua mkono wake na kuutia kinywani mwake, nayo macho yake yakawa maangavu.

28 Ana'ma higeno'a mago sondia ne'mo Jonatanina asamino, Negafa'a hanavege huno menina ne'zana oneho hu'ne. Hagi nesimo'a sifnafi manino haviza hugahie hu'negu ne'zana ama vahe'mo'za one mani'nageno hanavezamia omnegeno zamu evu evu nehie.

Kisha mmoja wa askari wake akamwambia, “Baba yako alilifunga jeshi kwa kiapo kikali, akisema, ‘Alaaniwe mtu yeyote alaye chakula leo!’ Ndiyo sababu watu wanalegea.”

29 Hagi Jonatani'a huno, Nenfa'ma hu'nea kemo'a mikomota tazeri haviza hu'ne. Hagi keho, osi'a tumerima'ama noana hanave erina runavunase'noe.

Yonathani akasema, “Baba yangu ameitaabisha nchi. Ona jinsi nilivyopata nguvu mpya nilipoonja asali hii kidogo.

30 Hagi ne'zana neho hige'za ha'ma hazafinti'ma eri'za ne'zama ne'nazaresina, rama'a Filistia vahe zamahontesine.

Ingekuwa bora zaidi mara ngapi kama watu wangalikula leo baadhi ya nyara walizoteka kutoka kwa adui zao. Je, mauaji ya Wafilisti yasingekuwa makubwa zaidi?”

31 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ana zupa ha'ma hu'nazana Filistia vahera Mikmasiti zamahe'za Aijaloni uhanatizageno, tusi zamavaresa higeno zaferina omane amne hu'ne.

Siku ile baada ya Waisraeli kuwaua Wafilisti kutoka Mikmashi mpaka Aiyaloni, walikuwa wamechoka.

32 Hagi ana kinaga zamagare'za vu'za hapinti'ma eri'za e'naza sipisipima agonknaza hari'naza ve bulimakao afu'ma anenta bulimakao afu'enena ome ahe'za kre onte'ante hu'za korana me'nege'za ne'naze.

Watu wakarukia zile nyara, wakichukua kondoo, ngʼombe na ndama, wakawachinja hapo juu ya nchi na kuwala, pamoja na damu.

33 Hagi anama hazage'za mago'a vahe'mo'za Solina eme asami'za, kora me'nea ame'a nene'za Ra Anumzamofo avufina kumi nehazanki ko, hu'za hazageno Soli'a huno, mikomota tra kea rutagrazanki menintafa vuta have rezahe huta amare ementeho.

Kisha mtu mmoja akamwambia Sauli, “Tazama, watu wanatenda dhambi dhidi ya Bwana kwa kula nyama yenye damu.” Akasema, “Mmevunja uaminifu. Livingirisheni jiwe kubwa hapa mara moja.”

34 Hagi vuta ome zamasaminke'za sipisipi afu'zamine bulimakao afu'zamia ru kora me'nesige'za nene'za kumi hanagi, amare eme aheho. Ana hazageno ana kenagera ana maka sondia vahe'mo'za bulimakao afu'zmia avare'za eme ahegi'naze.

Kisha Sauli akasema, “Nendeni miongoni mwa watu, mwaambie, ‘Kila mmoja wenu aniletee ngʼombe wake na kondoo, mwachinjie hapa na mle. Msitende dhambi dhidi ya Bwana kwa kula nyama ikiwa na damu ndani yake.’” Hivyo kila mmoja akaleta ngʼombe wake jioni ile na kumchinja hapo.

35 Anante Soli'a Ra Anumzamofonte'ma kresramana vunte ita tro hu'ne. E'i ana ita kora tro huno oke'neaza ese kna'a tro hu'ne.

Ndipo Sauli akamjengea Bwana madhabahu, na ndiyo ilivyokuwa mara yake ya kwanza kujenga madhabahu.

36 Hagi Soli'a sondia vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Enketa hanimpi vuta Filistia vahera hara ome hu'nezmantamanenkeno masa huno feruseno. Hagi magore huta ozamtregahunanki zamahe vagaregahune, hige'za sondia vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Nazano huzmante'naku'ma hanana zana amane hugahane. Hianagi pristi ne'mo'a kenona huno, amare Anumzamofona antahigeta kesune.

Sauli akasema, “Tuteremke tufuatie Wafilisti usiku na kuwateka nyara mpaka mapambazuko, nasi tusiache hata mmoja wao hai.” Wakajibu, “Fanya lolote lile uonalo jema zaidi kwako.” Lakini kuhani akasema, “Tuulize kwa Mungu mahali hapa.”

37 Higeno Soli'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, knare natre'nanke'na Filistia vahera hara ome huzmantenugenka zamagrira Israeli vahe zamazampina zamavarentegahano? Hianagi ana zupa Ra Anumzamo'a kenona huonte'ne.

Basi Sauli akamuuliza Mungu, akisema, “Je, niteremke kuwafuatia Wafilisti? Je, utawatia mikononi mwa Israeli?” Lakini Mungu hakumjibu siku ile.

38 Ana higeno Soli'a sondia kva vahetamina kehu tru huno, Iza kumira hu'negeno Ra Anumzamo'a kea osifi, refako huta kesune.

Kwa hiyo Sauli akasema, “Njooni hapa, ninyi nyote ambao ni viongozi wa jeshi, na tutafute ni dhambi gani imefanywa leo.

39 Hagi Israeli vahe'ma zamavare'nea Ra Anumzamofo Agifi huvempage huankino, iza'o ana kumi'ma hu'nesimo'a frigahie. Hagi nenamofo Jonatanima ana kumi'ma hu'nenuno'a frigahie. Hianagi mago'mo'e huno ana hazenkegura kea osu'ne.

Kwa hakika kama Bwana aiokoaye Israeli aishivyo, hata kama itakuwa juu ya mwana wangu Yonathani, ni lazima afe.” Lakini hakuna mtu yeyote aliyesema neno.

40 Hagi Soli'a mika Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagrane ne' mofavreni'anena amare otigahuanki, tamagra anture uotiho, huno zamasamige'za zamagra hu'za, kagri'ma kavesi'niaza huo.

Kisha Sauli akawaambia Waisraeli wote, “Ninyi simameni huko; mimi na mwanangu Yonathani tutasimama hapa.” Watu wakajibu, “Fanya lile unaloona jema zaidi kwako.”

41 Anage hutazageno Soli'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamoka ama ana kumi'ma nagrane ne' mofavreni'anema hu'ne'nunkenka, pristi vahe'ma keno erifore hu zagoma reno kenigenka, Urimi erintegeno keno. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama kumi'ma hu'ne'nagenka, Tamimi erintege'za keho. Anante ana zokagoma re'za kazana, Soline nemofo Jonatani suzamo e'ama higeno, Israeli vahe'mokizmi su'zamo'a e'amara osu'ne.

Kisha Sauli akamwomba Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, akisema, “Nipe jibu lililo sawa.” Yonathani na Sauli wakatolewa kwa kura, nao watu wakawa salama.

42 Ana'ma higeno'a Soli'a huno, Nagri'ene nenamofo Jonataninte taisi zokagora reta keho, hige'za ana zokago'ma reza kazana, Jonatani su'amo e'ama hu'ne.

Sauli akasema, “Pigeni kura kati yangu na mwanangu Yonathani.” Kura ikamwangukia Yonathani.

43 Ana higeno Soli'a nemofo Jonatanina antahigeno, nankna kumi hu'nampi nasamio, higeno Jonatani'a huno, Nagra azompanireti tumerina re'na ne'noe. Hagi nagrikura frigahie hananki, nahe frige'na fri'neno!

Basi Sauli akamwambia Yonathani, “Niambie ni nini ulichokifanya.” Hivyo Yonathani akamwambia, “Nilionja tu asali kidogo kwa ncha ya fimbo yangu. Je, sasa ni lazima nife?”

44 Higeno Soli'a anage hu'ne, Ozo Jonataniga frigahane. Hagi kahe ofrisugeno'a Anumzamo'a nahe frigahie.

Sauli akasema, “Mungu na anishughulikie kwa ukali zaidi kama wewe Yonathani hutakufa.”

45 Hianagi sondia vahe'mo'za Solinkura hu'za, Ra ha'ma huno Israeli vahe'ma tavre'nea ne' Jonatani ahefrigahue nehano? Ra Anumzamofo agifina Jonatanina avufarera avako huge, ahe ofrigera osugahane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ene tragoteno mani'neno hanavetino hara hu'neankinka, ohegosane. Anage nehu'za Jonatanina agu'vaziza avrazageno, Soli'a ahe ofri'ne

Lakini watu wakamwambia Sauli, “Je, Yonathani atakufa, yeye ambaye ameleta wokovu huu mkubwa Israeli? Hasha! Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, hakuna hata unywele wa kichwa chake utakaoanguka juu ya ardhi, kwa kuwa alifanya jambo hili leo kwa msaada wa Mungu.” Basi watu wakamwokoa Yonathani, wala hakuuawa.

46 Hagi ana zama hutegeno'a Soli'a Filistia vahe'ma zamarotagoma nehiretira zamatreno marerige'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za, ete kuma zamirega vu'naze.

Kisha Sauli akaacha kuwafuata Wafilisti, nao wakajiondoa na kurudi katika nchi yao.

47 Hagi Soli'ma eama huno Israeli vahe kinima maniteno'a, maka kazigama Israeli vahe'mokizmi ha' vahe'ma mani'naza vahera hara huzamante'ne. Moapu vahe'ma, Amoni vahe'ma, Edomu vahe'ma, Zoba kini vahe'ma, Filistia vahera miko hara huzamanteno zamazeri haviza hu'ne.

Baada ya Sauli kujitwalia utawala katika Israeli, alipigana dhidi ya adui zake kila upande: Moabu, Waamoni, Edomu, wafalme wa Soba, na Wafilisti. Popote alipogeukia, aliwashinda.

48 Hagi hanavetino Amaleki vahera hara hunezamanteno, zamagri zamazampinti'ene ha'ma huzmante'za zamazeri havizama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamazampintira Israeli vahera zamavare'ne.

Akapigana kishujaa na kuwashinda Waamaleki, akiikomboa Israeli kutoka mikono ya wale waliokuwa wamewateka nyara.

49 Hagi Soli ne' mofavreramina, Jonataniki, Isviki Malkisue. Hagi tare mofa zanante'neankino zage mofa'amofo agi'a Merabuki, henkamofo agi'a Mikeli'e.

Wana wa Sauli walikuwa Yonathani, Ishvi na Malki-Shua. Jina la binti yake mkubwa lilikuwa Merabu, naye mdogo aliitwa Mikali.

50 Hagi Soli nenaro agi'a Ahinoamukino, Ahimasi mofare. Hagi Soli sondia vahetema ugota hu'nea nemofo agi'a, Abnakino Neri nemofo'e. Hagi Neri'a, Solina nenogo'e.

Jina la mkewe Sauli aliitwa Ahinoamu binti wa Ahimaasi. Jina la jemadari wa jeshi la Sauli aliitwa Abneri mwana wa Neri, naye Neri alikuwa babaye mdogo Sauli.

51 Hagi Kisi'a Soli nefa manigeno, Neri'a Abna nefa mani'neankinke, zanagra kogna mani'na'e. Hagi nezanafa'a Abieli mani'ne.

Babaye Sauli yaani, Kishi na Neri baba yake Abneri walikuwa wana wa Abieli.

52 Hagi Soli'ma kinima manino e'nea knafina, Filistia vahe'enena rama'a zupa hara nehuno, koro'ma osu'za hanaveti'zama ha'ma haza Israeli vahera zamavareno agra'a sondia vahe zamantege'za mani'naze.

Siku zote za utawala wa Sauli zilikuwa za vita vikali dhidi ya Wafilisti, na wakati wowote Sauli alimwona mtu mwenye nguvu au shujaa, alimchukua kwa utumishi wake.
