1 Hagi Nopu kumate pristi ne' Ahimelekintega Deviti'a vu'ne. Hagi Ahimeleki'a Deviti'ma negeno'a antri nehuno, Nahigenka kavega vahera ovarenka kagrakera neane.
UDavida wasesiza eNobi kuAhimeleki umpristi; uAhimeleki wasesesaba ukuhlangabeza uDavida, wathi kuye: Kungani wena uwedwa, njalo kungelamuntu olawe?
2 Higeno Deviti'a ana pristi nera kenona hunteno, Kini ne'mo'a mago'a eri'zanke hunanteno anage hu'ne, Amama hugantoa zamofo kea mago'mo'a ontahino huno hu'ne. Hagi sondia vaheni'a huzamante'noanki'za emanihoma huzamante'nore emani'nenage'na vugahue.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki umpristi: Inkosi ingilaye udaba, yathi kimi: Kakungabi lamuntu owazi lalutho ngaloludaba engikuthuma lona, lengikulaya khona; lamajaha ngiwazisile ngendawo enje lenje.
3 Hagi mago'a ne'zama ante'nenunka 5fu'a breti kona namige, mago'a ne'zama me'neniana amne namigahane.
Khathesi-ke kuyini okungaphansi kwesandla sakho? Nika esandleni sami izinkwa ezinhlanu loba okungatholakala.
4 Hianagi Pristi ne'mo'a Devitina kenona hunteno, Nagra mago'a amane bretia onte'noanki, ruotage'ma hu'nea bretige me'neanki sondia vahekamo'zama ama kenage'ma a'nenema omase'nesnagenka amane ome zami'nanke'za negahaze.
Umpristi wasephendula uDavida wathi: Kakulasinkwa esejwayelekileyo ngaphansi kwesandla sami, kodwa kulesinkwa esingcwele, nxa amajaha ezigcinile esifazaneni kuphela.
5 Higeno Deviti'a kenona'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagesa ontahio, maka zupa hate'ma nevuta sondia vahe'nimo'za a'nanenena nomasazanki'za agru hu'naze. Ana hu'neankita menina e'nonana ruotge eri'zante enonankita, agru hu'none.
UDavida wasemphendula umpristi wathi kuye: Isibili abesifazana bavinjelwe kithi phose lezinsuku ezintathu ekuphumeni kwami; lezitsha zamajaha zingcwele; kodwa ngandlela thize sejwayelekile, laphezu kwalokho, ngoba lamuhla singcweliswe ezitsheni.
6 Hagi ne'zana omanegeno ana pristi ne'mo'a seli mono nompima Ra Anumzamofo avugama amuhoma hu'nea bretima erinenteno, zasi'ma hia ruotge bretima eri ante'neana Devitina eri ami'ne (Matiu 12:3-4, Maki 2:25-26, Luku 6:3).
Ngakho umpristi wamnika esingcwele; ngoba kwakungelasinkwa lapho, ngaphandle kwesinkwa sokubukiswa, ebesisuswe phambi kweNkosi ukuthi kubekwe isinkwa esitshisayo mhla sithathwa.
7 Hagi ana zupa ana seli mono nompina Idomu ne' Doekie nehaza ne' Soli bulimakao afute kegavama nehaza vahe'mokizmi ugota kva ne'mo ofa hu'naku umani'neno negegeno, ana zana pristi ne'mo'a hu'ne.
Njalo kwakulomuntu lapho owenceku zikaSawuli mhlalokho, ebambekile phambi kweNkosi, lebizo lakhe lalinguDowegi umEdoma, induna yabelusi uSawuli ayelabo.
8 Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Ahimelekinkura hu'ne, Bainati kazinknone kevenena ontenampi? Kini nemo'a ame hunka vuo hige'na bainati kazinknone kevenena e'ori e'noe.
UDavida wasesithi kuAhimeleki: Kanti kakulamkhonto loba inkemba lapha ngaphansi kwesandla sakho? Ngoba kokubili inkemba yami lezikhali zami kangikuthathanga esandleni sami, ngoba udaba lwenkosi lwalungoluphuthunywayo.
9 Hagi pristi ne'mo'a asamino, Magore huno omaneneanki Filistia ne' Goliatima Ela agupofima ahe'nana nemofo bainati kazinke me'ne. Tavravefi antegafite'na pristi vahe'mo'zama zamamizare'ma nentaniza kukenamofo amefi antogeno me'ne. Hagi kagrama erinaku'ma hanunka erio huno higeno, Deviti'a kenona huno, Mago'a bainati kazimo'a amanahura osu'neanki amne erinamio.
Umpristi wasesithi: Inkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti, owambulala esigodini seEla, njalo khangela, igoqelwe ngelembu ngemva kwe-efodi; uba uzithathela yona, ithathe, ngoba kayikho enye lapha ngaphandle kwayo. UDavida wasesithi: Kayikho enjengayo; nginika yona.
10 Hagi ana knazupa Deviti'a Solinku kore huno freno Gati kini ne' Akisinte vu'ne.
Wasesukuma uDavida wabaleka ngalolosuku esuka ebusweni bukaSawuli, waya kuAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
11 Hianagi Akisi eri'za vahe'mo'za Deviti'ma nege'za, Ama nera kini ne' Devitimpi, avoma re'za zagamema nehu'za, Soli'a 1 tauseni'a vahe zamahegeno, Deviti'a 10 tauseni'a vahe zamahe'ne hu'zama hu'naza nere hu'za hu'naze.
Izinceku zikaAkishi zasezisithi kuye: Lo kayisuye uDavida yini inkosi yelizwe? Kabahlabelanga yini ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshayile izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
12 Hagi ana nanekema Deviti'ma nentahino'a Gati kini ne' Akisi'ma ahe zankura tusi'a koro hu'ne.
UDavida wasewafaka lamazwi enhliziyweni yakhe, wamesaba kakhulu uAkishi inkosi yeGathi.
13 Ana hu'negu Devitia ana kini ne'ene eri'za vahe'amokizmi zamavufina haviza huno negi vahe sampreno ufre kafantera azanu avona negreno, agipintira agrena ampritregeno agi azokatega zuzu huno afra afra hu'ne.
Ngakho waguqula ukuziphatha kwakhe emehlweni abo, wazitshaya uhlanya ezandleni zabo, wadweba ezivalweni zamasango, wagxozisela indenda esilevini sakhe.
14 Hagi kini ne' Akisi'ma negeno'a amanage huno eri'za vahe'a zamasami'ne, Na'a higeta tamagra neginagi vahera avreta nagritega e'naze?
UAkishi wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Khangelani, liyabona ukuthi lumuntu uyahlanya; limletheleni kimi?
15 Hagi rama'a amanahu negi vahera mani'nazanki'na, na'a hanige'na noni'afina atre'nugeno manigahie? Nehuno Akisi'a atregeno Deviti'a vu'ne.
Ngiswele inhlanya yini ukuthi lilethe lo ukuthi ahlanye phambi kwami? Lo uzangena endlini yami yini?
