1 Hagi Devitia Rama kaziga Naioti kumatetira freno Jonataninte eno, amanage huno Jonatanina eme antahige'ne. Nagra na'a hu'noe, nahavizana nehu'na, nankumi negafana hunte'nogeno, nagrira nahe frinakura nehake?
UDavida wabaleka eNayothi eRama waya kuJonathani wabuza wathi, “Kanti ngenzeni na? Icala lami ngelani na? Uyihlo ngimone kanjani, okwenza afune ukungibulala?”
2 Hagi Jonatani'a kenona hunteno, Nenfa'a osizano ra zana magore huno nagritera eri frara nokiankino, kahe ofrigahie. Hagi na'a hanigeno nenfa'a kagri'ma kahe nanekea eri frara kigahie? A'o anara osugahie!
UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Hatshi bo! Kawuyikufa! Khangela, ubaba kenzi lutho, olukhulu loba oluncane, engangitshelanga. Kungani engangifihlela lokhu na? Akunjalo!”
3 Hianagi Deviti'a hanave huvempage huno, Kagrama nagri'ma kavesinenantana zana negafa'a keno antahino hu'neno, agra nenamofo Jonatanina ama ana kema asaminugeno'a arimpamo'a knarera osugahie huno antahi'ne. Hianagi tamage huno kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufine kagri kavufinena huvempage huankino, nagrira ame huno nahe frigahie.
Kodwa uDavida wenza isifungo wathi, “Uyihlo ukwazi kakuhle ukuthi mina sengithole umusa kuwe njalo usezitshele wathi, ‘UJonathani akumelanga akwazi lokhu hlezi ezwe ubuhlungu.’ Ikanti ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona lanjengoba lawe ukhona, kulenyathelo elilodwa nje phakathi kwami lokufa.”
4 Higeno Jonatani'a Devitina asamino, Nazano hunanto hunka hanana zana, amane hugantegahue.
UJonathani wathi kuDavida, “Loba kuyini ofuna ukuthi ngikwenze, ngizakwenzela khona.”
5 Hagi Deviti'a Jonatanina asamino, Antahio, okina kasefa ika eme antegeno ne'zama nenaza knagi, nagra kini ne' ene ne'zana nosinagi natrege'na trampi ufraki'na mani'nanenkeno 3'a zagegnamo'a nagatereno evino.
Ngakho uDavida wathi, “Khangela, kusasa kuledili lokuThwasa kweNyanga, njalo kumele ngidle lenkosi; kodwa yekela ngiyecatsha egangeni kuze kube kusihlwa phambi kwakusasa.
6 Hagi negafa'ma onagesuno'ma kantahigena kagra amanage hunka asamio, Devitina naga'amo'zma Betlehemu kumate atru hu'za kafugu kafugu'ma nehazaza hu'za kresramama vanarega anantega vugahue huno eme tutu huno nantahigege'na huntogeno vu'ne hunka asamio.
Nxa uyihlo ezangiswela, mtshele uthi, ‘UDavida ucele imvumo kimi ngokutshiseka ukuba ake agijimele eBhethilehema, idolobho lakibo, ngoba umhlatshelo wesizwana sonke sakibo uyenziwa khona.’
7 Hagi anagema hanankeno'ma knarere'ma hanigenka, eri'za vahekamona knare hu'na manigahue hunka antahio. Hianagi ananke'ma asami'nankeno arimpama ahe'na, eri'za vahekamo'na nahe frigahie hunka antahio.
Angathi, ‘Kulungile,’ inceku yakho kayiyikuba sengozini. Kodwa angavuka ulaka woba leqiniso ukuthi uzimisele ukwenza okubi kimi.
8 Hagi kagra eri'za vahekamo'na knare kavukva hunante'nane. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo avufi eri'za vaheka'amo'na so'ema huta manisu'a huvempagea hunante'nane. Hagi kagra navrenka negafantera ovunka, nagrama mago havizama hu'nenugenka, kagraka'a nahe frio.
Kodwa wena, bonakalisa isisa encekwini yakho ngoba uyenzise isivumelwano lawe phambi kukaThixo. Nxa ngilecala, ngibulala wena ngokwakho! Kungani ungiqhubela kuyihlo na?”
9 Higeno Jonatani'a huno, i'o anara osugahue. Nenfa'ma kahekema hanige'na ame' hu'na kasamigahue.
UJonathani wathi, “Hatshi bo! Kambe aluba bengilolwazi oluncane ukuthi ubaba uzimisele ukwenza okubi kuwe, kade ngingasoze ngikutshele na?”
10 Anante Deviti'a Jonatanina asamino, Ana nanekema negafama asami'nankeno arimpama ahenantenia nanekea iza erino ome nasamigahie?
UDavida wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ozangitshela nxa uyihlo ekuphendula kubi na?”
11 Anagema higeno'a Jonatania Devitinkura huno, Egeta hoza agupofi magoka va'mneno, huno Jonatani'a higeke, magoka vu'na'e.
UJonathani wathi, “Woza, kasiye egangeni.” Ngakho baya khonale bobabili.
12 Anante Jonatani'a anage huno Devitina asami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofo avufi huvempage huankino, tare knama evanige'na, nenfa'ma kahekema hania nanekea antahigahoanki'na, arimpa fruma hugante'nia kea eme kasamigahue.
UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida, “Ngifunga ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngempela ubaba ngizakuba sengimzwile ngalesisikhathi ngomhlomunye! Nxa elomusa kuwe, kambe kangiyikuthumela ilizwi ngikwazise na?
13 Hianagi nenfa'ma kahenaku'ma hanige'na, eme okasami'nugenka frenka kagu'ma ovazisankeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira nona hunanteno nahe frigahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a nenfa'enema nemaniaza huno kagri'enena manigahie.
Kodwa nxa ubaba ehlose ukwenza okubi kuwe, uThixo kangijezise, kube nzima kakhulu, nxa ngingakwazisi njalo ngikususe kungekho ngozi. Sengathi uThixo angaba lawe njengoba kade elobaba.
14 Hagi kagrima Ra Anumzamo'ma knarema hugantenigenka maninka vanunka, nagrira knare hunantenka nahe ofriho.
Kodwa ngibonise umusa ongapheliyo onjengokaThixo isikhathi sonke ngisaphila, ukuze ngingabulawa,
15 Hagi Devitiga ha' vahekamofoma ama mopafinti'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe vagamaresigenka, nagri nagara knare kavukva huzmantenka vuo.
njalo ungasusi umusa wakho kwabendlu yakwethu lanxa uThixo eseziqede du zonke izitha zikaDavida ebusweni bomhlaba.”
16 Anante Jonatani'a Devitinkura amanage hu'ne, kagrane amama huvempa kema hu'a nanekea kagrane nagakanena tamagera okaniho. Hagi nagri'ma navesiana ha' vaheka'a Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a hara huzmantesie.
Ngakho uJonathani wenza isivumelwano labendlu kaDavida, esithi, “Sengathi uThixo angazethesa amacala izitha zikaDavida.”
17 Hagi Jonatani'a mago'ane tragoteke manisa'a huvempage Devitina hunte'ne. Na'ankure Jonatani'a agra'agu'ma ave'nesiaza huno Devitina tusiza huno avesi ante'negu anara hu'ne.
UJonathani wabuya wamfungisa futhi uDavida isifungo sakhe ngenxa yothando lwakhe kuye, ngoba wayemthanda njengokuzithanda kwakhe.
18 Anante Jonatani'a Devitina asamino, Okina kasefa ikante'ma musenkase hu'za ne'za nenaza knagino, ana musenkasema hanafina kagri tramo'a amane megahie.
UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida, “Kusasa kuledili lokuThwasa kweNyanga. Uzaswelakala ngoba isihlalo sakho sizabe singelamuntu.
19 Hagi nampa 3 knazupa kinaga, ko'ma frakinkama mani'nana have kevuma me'nerega ame hunka umanio.
Phambi kwakusasa, sekuzakuhlwa, yana lapho owacatsha khona ekuqaliseni kwaloluhlupho, ulinde elitsheni e-Ezeli.
20 Hagi nagra 3'a kevea mafe'ante'na ana haverega ahetregahue.
Mina ngizatshokela imitshoko emithathu eceleni kwalo angathi ngitshokela kwengihlose kukho.
21 Hagi mago eri'za rise'ma hunte'na kamakaziga keveme'neanki ome hakenka erinka eno hu'na huntesogenka, amne egahane. Na'ankure tamage huno Ra Anumzana mani'negu mago kazeri haviza hu'zana kagritera forera osugahie.
Emva kwalokho ngizathuma umfana ngithi, ‘Hamba uyedinga imitshoko.’ Ngingathi kuye, ‘Khangela, imitshoko ingakuleli icele lakho, ilethe lapha,’ lapho-ke woza, ngoba ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, uphephile, akulangozi.
22 Hianagi ana riseku'ma hu'na kevea kame kaziga me'neanki ome erio hanugenka, e'i ame hunka atrenka vuogu hugahue. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo omenka vuo huno hugantegahie.
Kodwa ngingathi emfaneni, ‘Khangela, imitshoko ingale kwakho,’ lapho-ke kumele uhambe, ngoba uThixo uthe suka uhambe.
23 Hagi kagrane nagranema huvempa kema hu'noa zamofona Ra Anumzamo'a agrake keno antahino hu'negu kagra ana kemofona amage'anto.
Njalo mayelana lalindaba esiyikhulumileyo mina lawe, khumbula ukuthi uThixo ungufakazi phakathi kwakho lami nini lanini.”
24 Hagi Deviti'a anantega frakino mani'negeno, kini ne'mo'a kasefa ikante'ma musenkase hu'za ne'zama nenaza knarera ne'zama nenaza tratera emani'ne.
Ngakho uDavida wacatsha egangeni, njalo kwathi idili lokuThwasa kweNyanga selifikile, inkosi yahlala phansi yadla.
25 Hagi kini ne'mo'a ne'za nenaku ko'ma nehiaza huno nomofo asarega amagena renteno rutragoteno emanigeno, mago kaziga Jonatani mani'geno, mago kaziga Abna mani'neanagi Devitima nemania trara amne me'ne.
Yayihlezi endaweni yayo yezikhathi zonke phansi komduli, maqondana loJonathani, u-Abhineri ehlezi eduze loSawuli, kodwa indawo kaDavida yayingelamuntu.
26 Hagi Soli'a ana zupa nanekea osu'ne. Na'ankure agrama agesama antahiana Deviti'a mago'aza huno agra'a azeri pehana hu'neno ome'ne huno antahine.
USawuli katshongo lutho mhlalokho, ngoba wacabanga wathi, “Mhlawumbe kulento ethile eyehlele kuDavida yamenza waba ngongahlambulukanga ngokomkhuba, ngeqiniso kahlambulukanga.”
27 Hianagi nampa 2 kna zupanena Deviti'ma nemania tramo'a amne me'ne. Ana higeno Soli'a nemofo Jonatanina asamino, Devitima nemania tramo'a amne me'neana na'agafare Jesi nemofo Deviti'a okine meninena ne'za ne'tratera ome'ne?
Kodwa ngelanga elilandelayo, ilanga lesibili lenyanga, indawo kaDavida yayingelamuntu futhi. Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi endodaneni yakhe uJonathani, “Kungani indodana kaJese ingezanga ekudleni, izolo kumbe lamuhla na?”
28 Higeno Jonatani'a kenona huno, Deviti'a Betlehemu vunaku tutu huno nantahigeno,
UJonathani waphendula wathi, “UDavida ucele imvumo kimi ngokutshiseka ukuba aye eBhethilehema.
29 natrege'na va'neno, na'ankure naga'nimo'za rankumapi kresramana nevazageno, nafuhe'za ke hazanki'na ame hu'na vugahue. Hagi navesi nante'nunka hunantege'na nafuhei'na ome zamage'nue hige'na, huntogeno vu'ne. E'i ana agafare ama tratera omani'ne.
Uthe, ‘Ngivumela ngihambe ngoba abendlu yakwethu balomkhosi womhlatshelo edolobheni njalo umnewethu ungilaye ukuba ngibe khona. Nxa ngithole umusa kuwe, ngivumela ngihambe ngiyebona abafowethu.’ Yikho-nje engezanga ukuzakudla lenkosi.”
30 Hagi Soli'a Jonatanina tusi arimpa ahenenteno anage hu'ne, Kagra keontahi savri a'mofo mofavre mani'nananki, Devitima kagri noma erino kinima manino kazeri kagaze nehuno, negrerama agazema eri amisia zankura ontahinka Devitina aza hu'nano?
Ulaka lukaSawuli lwavutha kuJonathani wathi kuye, “Wena ndodana yomfazi olihlongandlebe lolenkani! Uthi kangazi yini ukuthi wena ususekelane lendodana kaJese okulihlazo kuwe njalo okulihlazo lakunyoko owakuzalayo na?
31 Na'ankure Jesi nemofo'ma ofri'noma mani'nenigenka, tamagerafa hunka kinia omanigahane. Hagi mago'a vahe huzmantege'za vu'za ome avre'za esnage'na ahe fri'neno.
Nxa indodana kaJese isekhona kulo umhlaba, wena kawuyikuma kumbe umbuso wakho. Ngakho thumela ilizwi umlethe kimi, ngoba umele afe!”
32 Hianagi Jonatani'a huno, Naza agra havizana hu'ne? Nagafare agra frigahie?
UJonathani wabuza uyise wathi, “Kungani kumele abulawe? Wenzeni na?”
33 Anagema higeno'a Soli'a Jonatanina ahe frinaku karugru kevereti re'neanagi, mani'ganegeno hantga hu'ne. E'inama higeno'a tamage nenfa'a Devitina ahe frigahie huno Jonatani'a antahi'ne.
Kodwa uSawuli waphosa umkhonto wakhe kuye ukuba ambulale. Ngakho uJonathani wakwazi ukuthi uyise wayehlose ukubulala uDavida.
34 Hagi Jonatani'a nefana tusi arimpa ahenenteno ese ikamofona nampa 2 knarera, ne'zana oneno otino atreno vu'ne. Na'ankure nefa'ma Deviti agima eri havizama hiazanku anara hu'ne.
UJonathani wasuka etafuleni ethukuthele kakhulu; ngosuku lwesibili lwedili kazange adle, ngoba wayebuhlungu ngehlazo uyise ayephatha ngalo uDavida.
35 Hagi anante nanterana Jonatani'a mago eri'za rise nevreno Deviti'ene keaga ome hunaku kema hunte'nate hoza agupofi vu'ne.
Ekuseni uJonathani waphuma waya egangeni ukuyahlangana loDavida. Wayelomfana omncinyane,
36 Hagi ana eri'za risera asmino, Kagarirenka vunka kevema ahetrenua kevea ome hakenka erio, higeno ana rise'mo'a agareno nevigeno Jonatani'a kevea ana risera ahe agatereno ogamanu'a avuga ahe'ne.
njalo wathi emfaneni, “Gijima uyedobha imitshoko engiyitshokayo.” Umfana esagijima, watshokela umtshoko ngale kwakhe.
37 Hagi ana eri'za rise'mo'ma kevema ome akasinaku anante'ma vigeno'a, Jonatani'a ke'zatimino, Kevemo'a ogamu'a me'neanki,
Kwathi umfana esefike lapho umtshoko kaJonathani owawuwele khona, uJonathani wamemeza wathi, “Umtshoko kawukho ngale kwakho na?”
38 omaninka ame hunka vuo! Hagi Jonatani eri'za rise'mo'a ana kevea ome erino ete rukrahe huno kva'amofontega e'ne.
Wabuye wamemeza wathi, “Phangisa! Ukhawuleze! Ungemi!” Umfana wadobha umtshoko wabuyela enkosini yakhe.
39 Hagi e'i ana mikozama hiazamofo agafa'a ana eri'za risemo'a antahi amara osu'neanki, Jonatanike Devitike zanagrake antahi'na'e.
(Umfana wayengazi lutho ngakho konke lokhu; kusazi uJonathani loDavida kuphela.)
40 Hagi Jonatani'a ati'ane keve'anena ana eri'za risemofo nemino, erinka kumatega vuo.
Emva kwalokho uJonathani wanika umfana izikhali zakhe wathi, “Hamba, zithwale ubuyele lazo edolobheni.”
41 Higeno ana eri'za rise'ma vutegeno'a, Deviti'a have kevumofo amefima fraki'nefintira atiramino eno Jonatanina agafi eme arena reno, 3'a zupa kepri hu'ne. Hagi zanagra onuki, anuki huke zanagi ohene ahene nehu'ne, taregamokea zavi ate'na'e. Hianagi Deviti'a tusiza huno zavira ate'ne.
Umfana esehambile uDavida wasukuma eceleni langaseningizimu kwelitshe, wakhothama kathathu phambi kukaJonathani, ubuso bakhe bukhangele phansi. Emva kwalokho bangana, bakhala bendawonye kodwa uDavida wakhala kakhulu.
42 Hagi Jonatani'a amanage huno Devitina asmi'ne, Karimpa frune vuo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avure huvempage hu'noankita ronema huno'azana, Ra Anumzamo amu'nontifina mani'neno maka knafima kagripinti'ma fore'ma hania vahe'ene nagripinti'ma fore'ma hania vahera keno antahino hanie. Hutegeno Deviti'a nevigeno, Jonatani'a ete kumatega vu'ne.
UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida, “Hamba ngokuthula, ngoba sifungelane ubungane omunye komunye ebizweni likaThixo sisithi, ‘Uthixo ungufakazi phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwenzalo yakho leyami nini lanini.’” UDavida wasesuka, loJonathani wasebuyela edolobheni.
