1 Anante Soli'a nemofo Jonatanine mika eri'za vahe'aramina Devitina ome ahe friho huno huzmante'neanagi, Soli nemofo Jonatani'a Devitina tusiza huno avesinte'ne.
USawuli watshela indodana yakhe uJonathani kanye lezinceku zonke ukuba babulale uDavida. Kodwa uJonathani wayemthanda uDavida
2 Ana hu'neankino Jonatani'a Devitina eme asamino, Nenfa Soli'a kahe fri'naku nehianki, oki nanterana kegava hu'nenka megi'a ufrakinka manio.
ngakho wamxwayisa wathi, “Ubaba uSawuli udinga ithuba lokukubulala. Qaphela kusasa ekuseni; hamba uyecatsha uhlale khona.
3 Hagi anama fraki'nenante nenfa'enena ome otita mani'neta kagriku'ma antahige'na kesugenoma, na'ane huno kagrikura nasamigahie ananke eme kasamigahue.
Mina ngizaphuma ngiyekuma lobaba egangeni lapho okhona. Ngizakhuluma laye ngawe njalo ngizakutshela lokho engizakuthola.”
4 Hagi anante nanterana Jonatani'a nefa Solina ome asamino, kinimoka eri'za vaheka'a Devitima ahenka kumima hanankeno'a knarera osugahie. Na'ankure agra mago havizana kagrira huoganteno kumira osu'ne. Hagi agra rama'a knare avu'avara huno kaza hu'ne.
UJonathani wakhuluma kuhle ngoDavida kuSawuli uyise wathi kuye, “Inkosi kayingenzi okubi encekwini yayo uDavida, konanga lutho kuwe, njalo akwenzileyo kukusize kakhulu.
5 Hagi agra'a avufgagu agesa nontahino Goliatina hara ome hunteno ahe frigeno Ra Anumzamo'a Filistia vahe'mofo zamazampintira Israeli vahera zamagu'vazine. Hagi nagafare hazenke'a omane ne' Devitina ahenka kumira hu'za nehane?
Wadela impilo yakhe ekubulaleni kwakhe umFilistiya. Uthixo wazuzela u-Israyeli ukunqoba okukhulu, lawe wakubona njalo wathaba. Pho kungani ungenza okubi emuntwini omsulwa njengoDavida ngokumbulala kungelasizatho na?”
6 Hagi Soli'a nemofo Jonataninkea antahimino anage huno hanave huvempagea hu'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage huoanki'na, Devitina ahe ofrigahue.
USawuli wamlalela uJonathani wasefunga isifungo lesi esithi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, uDavida kayikubulawa.”
7 Anage hutegeno Jonatani'a Devitina ke higeno egeno, nefa'enema hu'na'a maka nanekea asamiteno, avreno Solinte vigeno ko'ma nehiaza huno eri'zama'a omerinenteno mani'ne.
Ngakho uJonathani wabiza uDavida wamtshela inkulumo yonke. Wamusa kuSawuli, uDavida wahlala loSawuli njengakuqala.
8 Hagi henka Filistia vahe'mo'za ha' eme huzmantageno, Deviti'a ana vahera hanavenentake huno ha' ome huzmanteno rama'a vahe zamahe frige'za, mago'a Filistia vahe'mo'za atre'za fre'naze.
Kwabuya kwaba lempi futhi, uDavida waphuma ukuyakulwa lamaFilistiya. Wawatshaya ngamandla amakhulu aze abaleka.
9 Hagi mago zupa Soli'a karugru keve'a azampi azerineno noma'afi mani'negeno, Devitia zavena neheno mani'nere Ra Anumzamo'a azeri haviza hu havi avamura mago'ene huntegeno Solina agu'afi efregeno,
Kodwa umoya omubi owavela kuThixo wafika kuSawuli ehlezi endlini yakhe ephethe umkhonto wakhe ngesandla. Kwathi uDavida etshaya ichacho,
10 Soli'a karugru kevereti Devitina no zafare renarentenaku matevuno re'neanagi, mani'ganegeno kevemo'a nozafafi anirigeno, ana kenageke Deviti'a atiramino fre'ne.
uSawuli wazama ukumnamathisela emdulini ngomkhonto wakhe, kodwa uDavida wavika uSawuli wagwaza umduli ngomkhonto. Ngalobobusuku uDavida waphunyuka wabaleka.
11 Hagi Soli'a mago'a vene'ne huzamanteno, Deviti nonte ome kvagrita mani'neta nanterama senigeta aheho huno huzamante'ne. Hianagi Devitina nenaro Mikeli'a asamino, Meni kenage atrenka amafintira fro, ofresanana oki nanterana eme kahefrigahaze.
USawuli wathuma izithunywa endlini kaDavida ukuba bayilinde njalo bambulale ekuseni. Kodwa uMikhali, umkaDavida, wamxwayisa wathi, “Nxa ungabaleki ngalobubusuku ukuba uvikele impilo yakho kusasa uzabulawa.”
12 Anage nehuno Mikeli'a nomofo zaho eri kampinti avretregeno Deviti'a uramino fre'ne.
Ngakho uMikhali wehlisela uDavida phansi emkhuphe ngefasitela, wabaleka-ke waphepha.
13 Hagi Mikeli'a antre'za vahe amema'a tro hunte'nazaza erino Deviti'ma nemasea tafete nenteno meme azoka erino asenia antegsa nehuno, tavrave erino refitente'ne.
Emva kwalokho uMikhali wathatha isithombe wasilalisa embhedeni, wasembesa ngengubo ebeke uboya bembuzi ekhanda.
14 Hagi Devitima azeriho huno'ma Solima huzamantege'za aza vahe'mokizmia Mikeli'a zamasamino, Deviti'a kri erino mase'ne.
USawuli esethume abantu ukuba bayethumba uDavida, uMikhali wathi, “Uyagula.”
15 Hige'za ana kea ome asamizageno, Soli'a ana vahera ete huzmanteno, Tafe'arema mase'nena ana tafe'aga avreta emarerinke'na ahe fri'neno.
USawuli wababuyisela abantu labo ukuba bayebona uDavida esithi kubo, “Mletheni kimi ngombheda wakhe ukuze ngimbulale.”
16 Hagi anama huzmantage'za vu'naza vene'nemo'zama nompima efre'za tafete'ma eme kazana, vahe amema'a antre'za tro hu'naza vahe meme azokateti asenia antesga hu'nege'za ke'naze.
Kodwa kwathi amadoda lawo engena, embhedeni kwakulesithombe, ekhanda kuloboya bembuzi.
17 Anama higeno'a Soli'a Mikelina asamino, nahigenka nagrira renavatga hunka ha' vahe'ni'a avretrankeno fre'ne? Higeno Mikeli'a kenona huno, nagri'ma naza hunka navre otre'nanke'na kahe frigahue huno hia zanku avre atrogeno fre'ne.
USawuli wathi kuMikhali, “Kungani ungikhohlise kanje wabalekisa isitha sami ukuze siphephe?” UMikhali wathi kuye, “Uthe kimi, ‘Yekela ngibaleke. Ngingakubulalelani na?’”
18 Hagi Deviti'a freno Rama kumate Samuelinte uhanatino, maka zama Soli'ma hunteazamofo nanekea ome asami'ne. Anantetira Samueli'ene Devitikea atre'ne Naioti kumate umani'na'e.
UDavida esebaleke waphepha, waya kuSamuyeli eRama wamtshela konke okwakwenziwe nguSawuli kuye. Ngakho yena loSamuyeli baya eNayothi bahlala khona.
19 Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Solina eme asami'za, Deviti'a Rama kaziga Naoti kumate mani'ne.
Ilizwi lafika kuSawuli lisithi: “UDavida useNayothi eRama.”
20 Hagi Soli'a Deviti ome azerihogu mago'a kato vahe huzmantege'za vu'naze. Hianagi ana vahe'mo'zama ome kazana kasnampa vahe kevumo'za Samueli'ene oti'ne'za kasnampa ke nehazage'za ome nentahizageno, Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a zamagritera hanavetino ege'za zamagranena ana hu'za kasnampa ke hu'naze.
Ngakho wathuma abantu ukuba bayemthumba. Kodwa bathi bebona ixuku labaphrofethi liphrofitha, loSamuyeli emi khonapho njengomkhokheli wabo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela ebantwini bakaSawuli labo baphrofetha.
21 Hagi anagema eme asamizageno'a, Soli'a mago'ane rama'a vahe huzamante'neanagi ana vahe'mo'zanena kasnampa kege'za ome hu'naze. Hagi nampa 3 zupa ana zanke huno mago'ane kato vahera huzmantege'za vazanagi, ana zanke hu'za kasnampa ke ome hu'naze.
USawuli wakutshelwa lokho wasethuma abanye abantu, labo baphrofetha. USawuli wathuma abantu okwesithathu, labo futhi baphrofetha.
22 Hagi anama huvagareteno'a Soli'a agra'a Rama mopafima rantinkerima me'nerega Seku vuno anage ome hu'ne, inantega Samuelike Devitikea mani'na'e? Anage hige'za zamagra asamiza, Rama kaziga Naioti kumate mani'na'e hu'za asami'naze.
Ekucineni, yena ngokwakhe wasuka waya eRama, wasesiya emgodini omkhulu eSekhu. Wabuza wathi, “USamuyeli loDavida bangaphi?” Bathi, “Le eNayothi eRama.”
23 Anage hazageno Soli'a Rama kaziga Naioti kumate vu'ne. Hagi karankama nevigeno Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a hanavetino Solintera egeno, agranena kasnampa ke hume nevuno Naioti kumatera uhanati'ne.
Ngakho uSawuli waya eNayothi eRama. Kodwa uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela lakuye, wahamba ephrofitha waze wayafika eNayothi.
24 Hagi Soli'a za'za kukena'a hatenetreno Samueli avuga kasnampa kea nehuno, avufga avapako mase'negeno vuno kotuno hanina ome hu'ne. E'ina hu'nea agafare Solinkura kasnampa kema hazafina, agranena kasnampa vahe mani'neo hu'za nehaze.
Wakhulula izigqoko zakhe laye waphrofitha uSamuyeli ekhona. Walala enjalo ilanga lonke lobusuku bonke. Yikho-nje abantu besithi, “Kanti uSawuli laye uphakathi kwabaphrofethi na?”
