1 Hagi Devitina eme asami'za, Keila kumate vahera Filistia vahe'mo'za ha' eme huzmante'za witima neharazafima eri atru hu'naza witizamia eri vagare'naze.

Kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ukuthi, “Khangela, amaFilistiya ahlasela iKheyila njalo aphanga leziza,”

2 Hagi Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Knare vu'na Filistia vahera hara ome huzmantegahuo, higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Devitina asami'no, Amne vunka hara ome huzmantenka Keila vahera zamagu vazigahane.

wabuza uThixo, esithi, “Ngingahamba ukuyahlasela amaFilistiya la na?” Uthixo wamphendula wathi, “Hamba uyehlasela amaFilistiya uhlenge iKheyila.”

3 Hianagi Deviti'enema mani'naza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Antahio, tagra Judama manineta Filistia vahekura korora nehunankita, tagra Keila kumatera vuta rama'a Filistia vahera hara ome huozamantegosune.

Kodwa abantu bakaDavida bathi kuye, “Lapha koJuda thina siyesaba. Pho kuzakuba kukhulu kangakanani nxa sizakuyamelana lamabutho amaFilistiya eKheyila!”

4 Hagi Deviti'a mago'ene Ra Anumzamofona antahigegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Otinka Keila kumate uraminka Filistia vahera hara ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Nagra Filistia vahera kazampi zamavarentesugenka hara ome huzmagateregahane.

UDavida waphinda wambuza futhi uThixo, njalo uThixo wamphendula wathi, “Hamba eKheyila, ngoba amaFilistiya ngizawanikela ezandleni zakho.”

5 Higeno Deviti'ene sondia vahe'anena Keila urami'za Filistia vahera ome nezamahe'za mika afuzamia nevre'za Keila vahera zamagu'vazi'za zamavare'naze.

Ngakho uDavida labantu bakhe baya eKheyila, walwa lamaFilistiya wathumba izifuyo zawo. Wabulala amaFilistiya amanengi kakhulu wahlenga abantu baseKheyila.

6 Hagi pristi ne' Ahimeleki nemofo Abiata'a freno Devitintegama Keila kumategama nevuno'a, pristi vahe'mo'zama antanine'za Anumzamofo avesi'zama hake'za eri fore'ma nehaza kukena ifoti erineno, Ra Anumzamo'ma nanekema asami'nigu vu'ne.

(U-Abhiyathari indodana ka-Ahimeleki wayeze lesembatho semahlombe ekubalekeleni kwakhe kuDavida eKheyila.)

7 Hagi Deviti'ma Keila kumate mani'nea nanekema mago'a vahe'mo'za Solima eme asamizageno'a Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a nazampi avrente. Na'ankure Deviti'a agra'a avreno kinafi ufreankna huno hanave keginamo kagi'nea ra kumapina ufre'ne.

USawuli watshelwa ukuthi uDavida wayeseye eKheyila, ngakho wathi, “UNkulunkulu usemnikele kimi, ngoba uDavida usezifake entolongweni ngokungena edolobheni elilamasango lemigoqo.”

8 Anage higeno Soli'a maka Sondia vahezaga'a zamazeri atru huno nezamavareno, Devitine sondia vahe'ane avazagigagino zamahenaku Keila kumate urami'ne.

USawuli wamemeza amabutho akhe wonke empini ukuba aye eKheyila ukuyavimbezela uDavida labantu bakhe.

9 Hagi Deviti'ma antahiama Soli'ma ha'ma eme hunte'naku'ma kema retro'ma nehigeno'a, agra pristi ne' Abiatana asamino, 12fu'a havema me'nenege'za pristi vahe'mo'zama nentaniza kukena ifotia omerinka amare eno.

Kwathi uDavida esizwa ukuthi uSawuli wayeceba okubi ngaye, wathi ku-Abhiyathari umphristi, “Letha isembatho samahlombe.”

10 Hagi Deviti'a anage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka kagri eri'za vahe'mo'na antahuana nagrama emani'noa zanku huno Soli'a Keila kumara eme erihaviza hu'naku ke retro nehia naneke nentahue.

UDavida wasesithi, “Awu Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, inceku yakho isizwile impela ukuthi uSawuli uceba ukuza eKheyila achithe idolobho ngenxa yami.

11 Hagi Keila kumate vahe'mo'za nagrira navre'za Soli ome amigahazafi? Hagi tamage huno Soli'a eri'za nekamo'na antahua kante anteno egahifi? Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki eri'za nekamo'na nasamio. Higeno anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, agra eramigahie.

Abantu baseKheyila banganginikela kuye na? USawuli uzakuza na njengalokhu inceku yakho ekuzwileyo? Awu Thixo Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, itshele inceku yakho.” UThixo wathi, “Uzakuza.”

12 Hagi mago'ane Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona antahigeno, Keila vahe'mo'za nagri'ene eri'za vahe'nianena tavre'za Soli azampina ome antegahazafi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ozo e'inara hugahaze.

UDavida wabuza njalo wathi, “Abantu baseKheyila bazanginikela labantu bami kuSawuli na?” UThixo wathi, “Bazakunikela.”

13 Hagi Deviti'ene mika 600'a sondia vahe'anena Keilatira atre'za kumate manitere hu'za vu'naze. Hagi Soli'ma antahiama Deviti'a Keilatira atreno ko fre'ne ke'ma nentahino'a anantega ovu'ne.

Ngakho uDavida labantu bakhe, ababengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha ubunengi babo, basuka eKheyila baqhubeka behamba besuka kwenye indawo baye kwenye. USawuli esezwile ukuthi uDavida wayesebalekile eKheyila kasayanga khona.

14 Hagi Deviti'a Sifi kaziga me'nea ka'ma kopi ome frakino mani'ne. E'i ana kaziga umaninegeno Soli'a Devitina ahe'naku hakeno mika kna vano hu'neanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a atregeno Soli'a Devitina aze'ori'ne.

UDavida wahlala ezinqabeni zasenkangala lasezintabeni zeNkangala yaseZifi. Nsuku zonke uSawuli wamdinga, kodwa uNkulunkulu kamnikelanga uDavida ezandleni zakhe.

15 Hagi mago zupa Soli'a Horasi kaziga Sifi hagege kokampi frakino mani'nerega Soli'a ahe'naku nevia nanekea Deviti'a antahi'ne.

Kwathi uDavida eseHoreshi eNkangala yaseZifi, wezwa ukuthi uSawuli wayephumele ukuyambulala.

16 Hagi Soli nemofo Jonatani'a Horesi kaziga vuno Devitina ome negeno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma hanavetino amentintima hu nanekea ome asamino azeri hanavenetino anage hu'ne,

Njalo indodana kaSawuli uJonathani waya kuDavida eHoreshi wamsiza ukuba athole amandla kuNkulunkulu.

17 Kagra nenfankura korora osuo, na'ankure kagrira hakeno eriforera osugahie. Hagi kagra Israeli vahe kini mani'nanke'na, nagra ehenka hugantegahue. Hagi ama anazana nenfa'a ko keno antahino hu'ne.

Wathi kuye, “Ungesabi. Ubaba uSawuli kasoze abeke isandla phezu kwakho. Wena uzakuba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, njalo mina ngizakuba ngumsekeli wakho. Lobaba uSawuli uyakwazi lokhu.”

18 Hagi ana huvempa kema Ra Anumzamofo avufima hutekea Deviti'a Horesi mani'geno, Jonatani'a noma'arega ete vu'ne.

Bobabili benza isivumelwano phambi kukaThixo. Emva kwalokho uJonathani waya ekhaya, kodwa uDavida wasala eHoreshi.

19 Hagi mago'a Sifi kumate vahe'mo'za Solina ome asami'za, Hakila agonafi Horesi kumamofo sauti kaziga Jesimoni Deviti'a frakino mani'ne hu'za hu'naze.

Abantu baseZifi baya kuSawuli eGibhiya bathi kuye, “Kanti uDavida kacatshanga phakathi kwethu ezinqabeni eHoreshi, entabeni yaseHakhila, eningizimu kweJeshimoni na?

20 Hagi Kini ne'moka kagrama hana kante antenka eramigeta kazampina tagra'a avrentegahune.

Ngakho-ke woza Nkosi nxa kukuthokozisa ukwenzanjalo, thina sizakuba yithi esizamnikela enkosini.”

21 Hagi Soli'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Ra Anumzamo asomu huramantesie, na'ankure tamagra tamasunku hunantaze.

USawuli waphendula wathi, “Uthixo alibusise ngokungikhathalela kwenu.

22 Hagi vuta mago'ene ome haketa e'ire mani'ne huta keho. Na'ankure nagra antahi'noe, agra ruzahu ne'kino reravatga hugahie.

Hambani liyekwenza amanye amalungiselelo. Dingani ukwazi lapho uDavida ajayele ukuya khona lokuthi ngubani owambonayo khonapho. Bangitshela ukuthi uliqili kakhulu.

23 Hagi mika framakino nemania kuma'a haketa erifore huso'e huteta, ame huta keaga atrenantenke'na eramineno. Hagi Juda kaziga inama'are manigahie nagra ome hake'na azerigahue.

Funani ukwazi ngazozonke izindawo zokucatsha azisebenzisayo beselibuya kimi lilolwazi oluqinisekileyo. Emva kwalokho ngizahamba lani; nxa ekhona esigabeni, ngizamdinga phakathi kwezizwana zonke zakoJuda.”

24 Anage huzmantege'za zamagra Solina vugota hunte'za Sifi kumatega vu'naze. Hagi ana'ma nehazage'za Deviti naga'mo'za anampintira atre'za Jesimoni kumara sauti kaziga me'nege'za Maoni hagege kokampi Araba agupofi vu'naze.

Ngakho-ke basuka baya eZifi besandulela uSawuli. Ngalesosikhathi uDavida labantu bakhe babeseNkangala yaseMawoni, e-Arabha eningizimu kweJeshimoni.

25 Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahe'amo'za agafa hu'za Devitinku hake'naze. Hagi anama agriku'ma hakaza nanekea mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asmizageno, agra mago'ene vuno havege hu'nea kokampi Maoni ufrakino mani'ne. Hagi ana'ma hiazamofo nanekema Soli'ma nentahino'a otreno, avaririno anantega vu'ne.

USawuli labantu bakhe baqalisa ukudinga, njalo kwathi uDavida esetsheliwe ngakho wehlela edwaleni wahlala eNkangala yaseMawoni. Kwathi uSawuli esekuzwile lokhu, waya eNkangala yaseMawoni elandela uDavida.

26 Hagi Soli'a mago agonamofona mago kazigama hakeno eneviana, Deviti'ene naga'amo'za ana agonamofona mago kaziga vu'naze. Hianagi Soli'a erava'o huno Devitina azeri'za hu'ne.

USawuli wayehamba ngakwelinye icele lentaba, uDavida labantu bakhe bengakwelinye icele bephangisa ukuba babalekele uSawuli. Kwathi uSawuli lamabutho akhe sebezamfica uDavida labantu bakhe ukuba babathumbe,

27 Hagi ana'ma hu'zama nevazageno'a kema eri'za vu vahe'mo'za Solina eme asami'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za ha eme hurante'za ku'ma eme ankanirazanki ame hunka eno hu'za hu'naze.

kwafika isithunywa kuSawuli, sisithi, “Woza ngokuphangisa! AmaFilistiya ahlasela ilizwe.”

28 Hagi Soli'ma Devitima avaririno nevia zana ome netreno, Filistia vahe ha' ome huzmante'naku vu'ne. E'ina agafare ana mopagura Sela Hamalekotie hu'naze. (Sela Hamalekotie hu'nazana Hibru kefina, atreno fre'nea have hu'ne).

Lapho-ke uSawuli wayekela ukulandela uDavida wasesiyakulwa lamaFilistiya. Yikho-nje indawo le beyibiza ngokuthi Sela Hamalekhothi.

29 Anama huno Soli'a neviana, Deviti'ene naga'amo'za atre'za Engedi have kampi umani'naze.

UDavida wahamba esuka lapho wayahlala ezinqabeni zase-Eni-Gedi.
