1 Hagi Soli'ma Filistia vahe'ma ome zamarotago hige'za vazageno'a, henka mago'a vahe'mo'za eme asami'za, Deviti'a Engedi hagege kokampi frakino havegampi mani'ne hu'za hu'naze.
Kwathi uSawuli esebuyile ekuxotsheni amaFilistiya watshelwa ukuthi, “UDavida useNkangala yase-Eni-Gedi.”
2 Hagi Soli'a anankema nentahino'a, mika Israeli vahepintira 3 tauseni'a sondia vahe nezamavareno, Devitinku hake'naku Engedi hagege kokampina Afi Meme Afu'mofo Have nehazarega vu'naze.
Ngakho uSawuli wathatha abantu abazinkulungwane ezintantu abakhethwa ko-Israyeli waphuma ukuyadinga uDavida labantu bakhe eduze kwamadwala amaGogo.
3 Hagi Soli naga'mo'za mago havegana me'negeno sipisipi kegava nehaza keganagante uhanati'naze. Hagi Solina rifagu avesigeno, arifa ome renaku ana have kampi ufre'ne. Hagi ana have kampina Deviti'ene agranema vanoma nehaza vahe'mo'za ogamanu'a mani'nageno Soli'a ufre'ne.
Wafika ezibayeni zezimvu endleleni; kwakulobhalu khonapho, yikho uSawuli wasengena phakathi ukuba aye ngaphandle. UDavida labantu bakhe babekhatshana emuva phakathi kobhalu.
4 Ana hige'za Deviti'enema vu'naza vahe'mo'za nege'za anage hu'za Devitina asami'naze, Ama Ra Anumzamo'ma ha' vaheka'a mago kankamu retro huno kazampi avrentegahuema hu'nea kna fore nehie. Hazageno anante Deviti'a rerakaureno viazamo, Soli'a keno antahino osiaza, zaza kukena'amofona atupa'a ome taga hu'ne.
Abantu bathi, “Leli yilo ilanga uThixo akhuluma ngalo lapho wathi kuwe, ‘Ngizanikela izitha zakho ezandleni zakho ukuba uziphathe njengokufisa kwakho.’” UDavida wanyenya egaqa waquma umphetho wesembatho sikaSawuli.
5 Hagi anama huno Soli kukenama Deviti'a taga huteno'a, tusiza huno agesa nentahino asunku hu'ne.
Muva uDavida wakhathazeka ngokuquma umphetho wesembatho sikaSawuli.
6 Hagi Deviti'a agranema vu'naza vahera zamasamino, Ra Anumzamo'a hunagru huno anara osuo hu'neazanagi, Ra Anumzamo huhamprinte'nea ne' ranimofo kukena tagahue.
Wathi ebantwini bakhe, “Uthixo kakwenqabele ukwenza into enje enkosini yami, ogcotshiweyo kaThixo.”
7 Anage nehuno Deviti'a agranema vu'naza vahera zamazeri korige'za, Solina hara hunte kea osu'naze. Hagi Soli'a otino ana havegana atreno atiramino nevigeno,
Ngala amazwi uDavida wabakhuza abantu bakhe akaze wabavumela ukuthi bahlasele uSawuli. USawuli waphuma ebhalwini wazihambela.
8 Deviti'a otino ana have kampinti atiramino Solina kezatimino, ranimoka kini nere, higeno Soli'a rukrahe huno kegeno Deviti'a avugosaregati mopafi umaseno agi'a erisga hu'ne.
Lapho-ke uDavida waphuma ebhalwini wamemeza uSawuli esithi, “nkosi, nkosi yami!” Kwathi lapho uSawuli ekhangela emuva kwakhe, uDavida wakhothama waselala phansi ethe mbo phansi ngobuso.
9 Hagi Deviti'a keza atimino, Na'a higenka kagra Deviti'a hazenke kamiku neheke hu'za kasamiza vahe kea nentahine?
Wathi kuSawuli, “Kungani ulalela nxa abantu besithi, ‘UDavida ujonge ukwenza okubi kuwe’?
10 Hagi havegampi kagrira menintfaza Ra Anumzamo'a nagri nazampina kavrenteanki ko. Mago'a nagrane mani'namo'za kagrikura ahefrio hu'za hazanagi, nasunku hugantena, ranimofona ohegosue hu'noe. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo huhamprinte'nea neki'na avakora osugahue hu'na hu'noe.
Lamhla uzibonele ngamehlo akho ukuthi uThixo ukunikele ezandleni zami ebhalwini. Abanye bangikhuthaze ukuthi ngikubulale, kodwa ngikuphephisile, ngithe, ‘Angiyikuphakamisa isandla sami ngimelana lenkosi yami, ngoba ingogcotshiweyo kaThixo.’
11 Hagi nafanimoka antahio, zaza kukenakamofo atupa'a taga hu'na nazampi e'nerina kahe ofri'noanki ama ko. E'inama hu'noa zamo'a nagra hararegante'na kahenakura nosue. Nagra mago kumira hu'na kagrira havizana huogante'noanagi, kagra nahenakura kafona antenka navaririnka vano nehane.
Khangela, baba, khangela isiqa sesembatho sakho lesi esisesandleni sami! Ngisiqume emphethweni wesembatho sakho, kodwa kangikubulalanga. Ngakho zwisisa ubone ukuthi kangilacala lokwenza okubi loba ukuhlamuka. Kangonanga lutho kuwe, kodwa wena uyangizingela ufuna ukungibulala.
12 Hagi Ra Anumzamo agrake taregamota'a refako huranteno, iza havizana nehie taregamota tagegahie. Hianagi nagra nazana erisga hu'na mago'zana kagri kavufarera osugahue.
Sengathi uThixo angahlulela phakathi kwami lawe. Njalo sengathi uThixo angaphindisela ububi obenze kimi, kodwa esami isandla kasiyikukuthinta.
13 Hagi koknafi knare antahi'zamofo nanekefina huno, kefo avu'vaza hu vahepintira kefo avu'avazamo efore hugahie huno hu'ne. Hianagi nagra nazana erisga hu'na mago'zana kagri kavufarera osugahue.
Njengoba isitsho sendulo sisitsho ukuthi, ‘Kwabenza okubi kuvela izenzo ezimbi,’ ngakho esami isandla kasiyikukuthinta.
14 Hagi nagra iza'na mani'nogenka, Israeli vahe kinimoka hara hunante'naku nehane? Na'ante knaka'a atrenka fri'nea kragna nehu'na, harukna hu'nomonagura nehakrane?
Inkosi yako-Israyeli iphume ukuyamelana lobani na? Ngubani oxotshana laye? Yinja efileyo na? Yindwebundwebu na?
15 Atregeno Ra Anumzamo Agrake taregamota'a haviza hane, knare'za hane huno refko hurantegahie. Agrake ke'ni'a antahinenamino, tamage hunka fatgo hunane huno kagri kazampintira nagu'vazi'nie.
Sengathi uThixo angaba ngumahluleli wethu ahlulele phakathi kwethu. Sengathi angahlola injongo yami ayisekele; sengathi angangikhulula ngokungisindisa esandleni sakho.”
16 Hagi Deviti'ma ana nanekema huvaretegeno'a Soli'a huno, ne'nimoka Devitiga kageru nentahufi? Anage nehuno Soli'a krafage huno zavi ate'ne.
Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukutsho lokhu, uSawuli wabuza wathi, “Lelo yilizwi lakho, Davida ndodana yami na?” Wasekhala kakhulu.
17 Ana huno zaviteteno Soli'a Devitinkura huno, Kagra nagaterenka fatgo kavukava hu'nananagi, nagra havi navu'nava hu'na kahe frinaku hu'noe.
Wasesithi, “Wena ulungile kakhulu kulami. Ungiphathe kuhle, kodwa mina ngikuphathe kubi.
18 Hagi knare zama hunenantana zamofona menintfa eri ama hane. Ra Anumzamo'a nahe friogu kagri kazampima navrentegenka knare kavukava hunka nahe ofri'nane.
Usungitshelile khathesi nje okuhle okwenze kimi; uThixo unginikele ezandleni zakho, kodwa kawungibulalanga.
19 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma ha' vahe'ama keno'a amane atregeno novianki ahenefrie. Hagi kagrama nagri'ma menima hunantana kavukavatera Ra Anumzamo asomura knare huno hugantesie.
Kanje nxa umuntu efica isitha sakhe, uyasiyekela sihambe singenziwanga lutho olubi na? Sengathi uThixo angakunika umvuzo omuhle ngenxa yendlela ongiphathe ngayo lamhla.
20 Hagi nagrama tamage hu'na antahuana kagra kini mani'nankeno, Israeli vahe'mo'za kagri kazampi manigahaze.
Ngiyakwazi ukuthi uzakuba yinkosi impela kanye lokuthi umbuso wako-Israyeli uzamiswa ezandleni zakho.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage hunka, henkama kini mani'nunka nagri nagara zamahe fanene nosu'na, kagripinti'ma fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahera zamahe fanane osugahue hunka nasamio.
Khathesi-ke funga kimi ngo Thixo ukuthi kawuyikubulala inzalo yami loba wesule ibizo lami kwabendlu kababa.”
22 Higeno Deviti'a Solina huvempage huntetegeno, Soli'a kuma'arega vu'ne. Hianagi Deviti'ene agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za fra'maki'za mani'naza havegantega ete vu'naze.
UDavida wafunga kuSawuli. Emva kwalokho uSawuli wabuyela ekhaya, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe baya enqabeni.
