1 Samue 25

1 Hagi Samueli'a frige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za eme atru hu'za zavi krafa nehu'za Rama kumate norava'oma'are asente'naze. Anante Deviti'a Paran Maoni hagege ka'ma kokantega urami'ne. Hagi Soli'a antahiama Deviti'ma Paran Maoni umani'ne hazageno'a anantega avaririno urami'ne.

Ngalesosikhathi uSamuyeli wafa, kwathi u-Israyeli wonke wabuthana wamlilela; njalo bamngcwaba emzini wakhe eRama. Lapho-ke uDavida wehlela eNkangala yasePharani.

2 Hagi Maoni kaziga Kameli kumatera tusi'a feno ante'nea nera magora mani'neankino, ana ne'mo'a 3 tauseni'a sipisipi afu anteno, 1tauseni'a meme afu ante'ne. Hagi mago zupa sipisipi afu'amofo azoka nehareno mani'ne.

Umuntu othile waseMawoni, owayelempahla khonale eKhameli, wayenothe kakhulu. Wayelenkulungwane yembuzi lezinkulungwane ezintathu zezimvu ayezigunda eKhameli.

3 Hagi ana ne'mofo agi'a Nebali'e. Hagi nenaro agi'a Abigelikino, agra hentofa a'kino knare antahi'zane a' mani'ne. Hianagi Nebali'a Kalepi nagapinti ne'kino, havi avu'ava ene' ne' mani'ne.

Ibizo lakhe lalinguNabhali lebizo lomkakhe lingu-Abhigeli. Wayengumfazi okhaliphileyo njalo emuhle, kodwa umkakhe, umʼKhalebi, wayelenhliziyo embi kwabanye abantu.

4 Hagi Deviti'ma hagege kokampima mani'neno antahiama, Nebali'ma sipisipi afu'amofo azoka nehare kema nentahino'a,

UDavida esenkangala wezwa ukuthi uNabhali wayegunda izimvu.

5 10ni'a nehazave huzamanteno anage hu'ne, Kameli kumate vuta, nagri nagifi knare kne huta Nebalina ome humuse hunenteta,

Ngakho wathuma amajaha alitshumi wathi kuwo, “Hambani kuNabhali eKhameli limbingelele ngebizo lami.

6 anage huta asamiho, Kagra knare hunka za'za kna nemaninka, kagrane nagakane maka zanka'anena tamarimpa frune maniho,

Lithi kuye, ‘Impilo ende kuwe! Impilo enhle kanye labendlu yakho! Impilo enhle kukho konke okungokwakho!

7 Hagi menina antahuana sipisipi azoka neharana kna me'ne hu'za nasami'naze. Hagi sipisipi afukama kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zama Kemoli kumate'ma tagranema emani'naza knafina, zamazeri havizana nosuta, mago'a zazmia kumazafa ose'none.

Khathesi ngizwa kuthiwa yisikhathi sokugunda izimvu. Lapho abelusi bakho babelathi, kasibaphathanga kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke beseKhameli akukho lutho olwacatshayo.

8 Hagi anankea eri'za vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za, tamage hu'za kasamigahaze. Hagi antahiraminka so'e kavukva huranto. Na'ankure menina ne'za kreno neneno muse hukna me'ne. Hagi muse hugantonanki, ne'zama ante'nesaza zana Deviti'a mofavreka'agna higeta tagra eri'za vaheka'a mani'nonanki aza hunka ne'zana menina tamio huta asmiho.

Buza izinceku zakho zizakutshela. Ngakho ake ube lomusa ezinsizweni zami, njengoba size ngesikhathi somkhosi. Ake unike izinceku zakho lendodana yakho uDavida loba kuyini ongabatholela khona.’”

9 Hagi ana nehazavemo'za Nebalinte'ma unehanati'za Deviti'ma zamasami'nea nanekea agri agi eri'za ome asamite'za, kenonama huzaminigu avega ante'za mani'naze.

Kwathi abantu bakaDavida sebefikile, bamnika uNabhali umbiko lo ngebizo likaDavida. Emva kwalokho balinda.

10 Hianagi Nebali'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Jesi ne'mofo Deviti'ema nehazana izanku nehaze. Nagra ke'na antahi'na osu'noe? Meni ama knafina hakare'a eri'za vahe'mo'za kva'zimia atre'za nefraza knagino, agra mago kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'negahie.

UNabhali waphendula izinceku zikaDavida wathi, “Ungubani uDavida lowo? Ingubani indodana kaJese leyo na? Ngalezizinsuku izinceku ezinengi ziyawabalekela amakhosi azo.

11 Na'ante antahi'na ke'na osu'nesoa vahera, bretiniane, tini'ane, afu'niane sipisipi azoka'ma haresaza vahe'ma zaminaku'ma hanua ne'zana tamigahue? Tamagra igati e'naze nagra kena antahina osu'noanki'na ontamigahue.

Kungani kumele ngithathe isinkwa sami lamanzi, lenyama engiyihlabele abagundi bami, nginike abantu abavela lapho engingazi khona na?”

12 Hagi Devitima huzmantege'za e'naza nehazavemo'za ete rekrahe hu'za vu'za ana miko kema Nebali'ma hiankea Devitina ome asami'naze.

Abantu bakaDavida baphenduka babuyela emuva. Sebefikile babika amazwi wonke.

13 Hagi Deviti'a sondia vahe'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Bainati kazinknontamia tamavate eriho hige'za eri'zageno, agranena ana huno bainati kazinknoma'a e'nerino, 400'a sondia vahera zamavareno nevuno, 200'a sondia vahera huzmantege'za fenozamire kegava hu'naze.

UDavida wasesithi ebantwini bakhe, “Hlomani ngezinkemba zenu!” Ngakho bahloma ngezinkemba zabo, loDavida wahloma ngeyakhe. Abantu ababengaba ngamakhulu amane bahamba loDavida, kwathi abangamakhulu amabili basala lempahla.

14 Hianagi mago kato ne'mo Nebali nenaro Abigelina ome asamino anage hu'ne, Deviti'a ka'ma kokampi mani'neno, kvatimofona kea atrenteana ana kea huhaviza nehuno, ke'a antahi omi'ne.

Omunye wezinceku watshela umkaNabhali u-Abhigeli wathi, “UDavida wathuma izithunywa esenkangala ukuzabingelela inkosi yethu, kodwa yona yazithethisa.

15 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za anantegama umanuna kna'afina knare zamavuzmava hurante'za, tazeri havizana osu'za, mago zantia kumazafa ose'za kegava hurante'naze.

Ikanti abantu laba thina basiphatha kuhle. Kabazange basiphathe kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke sisegangeni phansi kwabo akulalutho olwacatshayo.

16 Hagi anantegama umanuna knafina hanine zagenena ana vahe'mo'za vihugna hu'za manigagine'za kegava hunerantageta sipisipia kegava hu'none.

Emini lebusuku babengumduli osihonqolozelayo isikhathi sonke siselusela izimvu zethu phansi kwabo.

17 Hagi ama anankea nentahinka, nazano huzmantenaku'ma hanana zana huzamanto. Na'ankure kvatimofone noma'afima nemaniza vahera Deviti'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'naku kea retro nehie. Nebalia knare nera omani'neankino, mago vahe'mofo kea ontahigahie.

Kucabange ubone ongakwenza ngoba ingozi iyalenga ngaphezu kwenkosi yethu labendlu yayo bonke. Ingumuntu omubi kangaka okungelamuntu ongakhuluma layo.”

18 Hagi Abigeli'a ana nanekema nentahino'a, ame huno 200'a bretigi, meme akrute tro hu'naza tafentrempi wainia tagino e'nerino, 5fu'a krente'naza sipisipi afuki, 20 kilo kre hagege hunte witigi, 100'a waini araga antehagege hu'za regripe ante'nazanki, 200'a fiki araga regripe ante'nazana donki afutamimofo agumpi erinte'ne.

U-Abhigeli kasachithanga sikhathi. Wathatha izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, izikhumba ezimbili zewayini, izimvu ezinhlanu ezihlinziweyo, amagokoko amahlanu amabele akhanzingiweyo, amakhekhe alikhulu amagrebisi awonyisiweyo, lamakhulu amabili amakhekhe omkhiwa okhanyiweyo, wakuthwalisa obabhemi.

19 Hagi Abigeli'a eri'za vahe'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Ko vugota hinke'na tamage tamavaririna va'neno. Hianagi ana'ma hiazana nevena Nebalina osami'ne.

Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Hambani phambili; ngizalilandela.” Kodwa umkakhe uNabhali kamtshelanga.

20 Hagi ana a'mo'a donki afu'afi manino ana agonamofo krahopi nevigeno, Deviti'ene sondia vahe'anena anantega eramigeno, ana a'mo'a ome tutagiha huzmante'ne.

Wathi esiza egade ubabhemi wakhe phakathi kodonga lwentaba, wabona uDavida labantu bakhe besehla beqonde kuye, wasebahlangabeza.

21 Hagi Deviti'a anage hu'ne, Maka'zama ama ana ne'mo'ma ka'ma kopima ante'neana tamage hu'na kegava hugeno mago'zana kumazufa osege, fanenea osuge hu'ne. Hagi knare navu'nava'ma hunte'norera nona huno haviza hunante'ne.

UDavida wayesanda kuthi, “Kakusizanga lutho konke ukugcina kwami impahla yomuntu lo enkangala ukuze kungabi lalutho lwakhe olulahlekayo. Ungibhadale okuhle ngokubi.

22 E'ina hu'negu ana ne'mofo nagara kenageke zamahe fri hana hugahue. Hagi ana'ma osu'na atrenugeno anampinti mago vahe'mo'ma amnema mani'nesigeno nanterama uhanatina, Anumzamo'a nahe frigahie.

Sengathi uNkulunkulu angaphatha uDavida kabuhlungu nxa ekuseni ngitshiya indoda eyodwa iphila kubo bonke abangabakhe!”

23 Hagi Abigeli'ma Devitima negeno'a ame huno donki afu'afinti eramia zamo, Devitina agafi kepri hu'ne.

U-Abhigeli esebone uDavida, wehla ngokuphangisa kubabhemi wakhe wakhothamela phansi phambi kukaDavida ubuso bakhe buthe mbo emhlabathini.

24 Hagi ana a'mo'a agafi kepri huneno Devitina asamino, Mago vahera knazana ozaminka, ranimoka nagripi ana miko knazana anto. Hagi muse hugantoanki nagra eri'za vahekamo'nama hanua kea antahio.

Wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wathi, “Nkosi yami, insolo kayibe phezu kwami ngedwa. Ake uyivumele incekukazi yakho ikhulume lawe; zwana lokho incekukazi yakho efuna ukukutsho.

25 Devitiga ranimoka Nebali'a kefo avu'ava'ene ne' mani'neanki ke'a antahiminka mago'zana huonto. Agra'a agimo'ma hu'neaza huno negi vahe mani'ne. Hianagi nehazavema huzmantanke'za vu'nazana zamage'na antahina osu'noe.

Sengathi inkosi yami ingayekela ukumnaka umuntu omubi lowana uNabhali. Ufuze ibizo lakhe, ibizo lakhe lithi Sithutha, njalo ubuwula buhamba laye. Kodwa-ke mina, incekukazi yakho, angizibonanga insizwa inkosi yami ezithumileyo.

26 E'ina hu'negu menina ranimoka tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a mani'neankino, kataregenka kagra kazanutira vahera zamahe frinka kumira osane. Ana hu'negu kagri'ma ha'ma regantesaza vahera zamatrege'za Nebali'ma hiaza hu'za neginagi hiho.

Khathesi njengoba uThixo ekugcinile, nkosi yami, ekuchithekeni kwegazi lasekuphindiseleni ngezandla zakho, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ekhona lanjengoba lawe uphila, sengathi izitha zakho labo bonke abafuna ukwenza okubi kuwe nkosi yami bangaba njengoNabhali.

27 Hagi menima eri'za vahekamo'na eri'na e'noa ne'zana erinka, vaheka'a zamige'za neho.

Njalo isipho lesi, incekukazi yakho esilethe enkosini yami, kasiphiwe insizwa ezikulandelayo.

28 Hagi nagrama hua navu'navamo'ma kazeri havizama hanigenka, kumi'ni'a atrenanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kinima mani trara kagri nagapi antesigeta kinia manivava huta vugahaze. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo ha' nehunka, maninkama ampina, mago havizana osu'nane.

Ake uthethelele ukona kwencekukazi yakho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu impela uzakwenzela inkosi yami inzalo yamakhosi engapheliyo, ngoba ilwela izimpi zikaThixo. Akungabi lokona okutholwa kuwe kukho konke ukuphila kwakho.

29 Hagi ha' vahekamo'zama kahe friku'ma nehageno'a, Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'a knare huno kva hunegante. Hianagi Anumzamo'a ha' vaheka'a kumi atifi have erinteno ahetreankna huno zamahenati atresige'za ame hu'za fanane hugahaze.

Lanxa omunye exotshana lawe ukuba akubulale, ukuphila kwenkosi yami, uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzakubophela kuqine elixheni labaphilayo. Kodwa ukuphila kwezitha zakho uzakuphosela khatshana kungathi kuphuma esikhwameni sesavutha.

30 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kagrima ranimoka huvempagema hugante'neazama huvamaretesuno'a, Israeli vahete kva kazeri otisanigenka kva manisanunka,

Lapho uThixo eseyenzele inkosi yami zonke izinto ezinhle azithembisayo mayelana layo, njalo eseyibekile ukuba ngumkhokheli wako-Israyeli,

31 ama anazamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianki, ranimoka kagra kazampintira nona hunka vahera zamahenka kagra kagia eri havizana osuo. Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma ana mika'ma huvempage hugante'nea zama hugantesigenka, nagrira kagesa antahinamio.

inkosi yami kayiyikuba lesazela somthwalo ohloniphisayo sokuchithwa kwegazi esingaswelekiyo loba esokuphindisela. Njalo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eselethele inkosi yami ukuphumelela, uyikhumbule incekukazi yakho.”

32 Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Abigelina asmi'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a ra agi erisie! Menina Agra'a hugantegenka nagrira nagekura e'nane.

UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhigeli, “Kadunyiswe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okuthumileyo lamhla ukuzabonana lami.

33 Hagi kagri'enena muse hugantoe, kagri so'e antahi'zamo naza huno knare antahi'zana namige'na, nona hu'na kezmi omane vahera ozamahegahue.

Sengathi ungabusiswa ngenxa yokwahlulela kwakho okuhle lokuvimbela kwakho ekuchitheni igazi lamhla kanye lasekuphindiseleni kwami ngezandla zami.

34 Hagi menina nagritega amera hunka omantesina, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofonte ko huvempage hu'noanki'na, oki nanterana Nebali'ene veneneraminena magore hu'na ozamatrosine.

Ngoba, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ekhona, yena ongivimbele ekwenzeni okubi kuwe, aluba kawufikanga masinyane ukuzabonana lami, akukho lamunye owesilisa ongokaNabhali obezasala ephila ekudabukeni kokusa.”

35 Anante Deviti'a, Abigeli'ma erino vu'nea ne'zana e'nerino amanage hu'ne, Keagama nasami'nana hago antahoanki, kagrama nasamina kante ante'na anazana hugahuanki, krimpa fru e'nerinka nontega vuo.

Emva kwalokho uDavida wamukela esandleni sika-Abhigeli lokho ayemlethele khona wasesithi, “Buyela ekhaya ngokuthula. Ngiwazwile amazwi akho ngasivuma isicelo sakho.”

36 Higeno Abigeli'a anama huteno nontegama vuno ome keana, Nebali'a kini vahe'mo'za nehazaza huno tusi'a ne'za kreno neneno musenkase nehigeno ome ke'ne. Abigeli'a ana zamofo nanekea magore huno osami'ne. Na'ankure ana keragera Nebali'a tusi'a negi ti neno musenkase nehigeno nanterase'ne.

U-Abhigeli esebuyele kuNabhali, wayesendlini eledili elinjengelenkosi. Wayejabula njalo edakwe kakhulu. Ngakho u-Abhigeli kamtshelanga lutho kwaze kwasa.

37 Hagi nanterama segeno Nebali antahintahimo'ma ama'ma higeno, ana nanekea Abigeli'a asami'ne. Hagi anankema Nebali'ma nentahino'a tusi agesa nentahigeno, agazamo'a hapu higeno kaza osu havegna huno mase'ne.

Kwathi ekuseni, uNabhali engasadakwanga, umkakhe wamtshela zonke lezizinto, watshaywa luvalo woma qha.

38 Hagi 10ni'a zagegna naza evutegeno, anante Ra Anumzamo'a Nebalina ahegeno fri'ne.

Emva kwensuku ezazingaba litshumi, uThixo wamtshaya uNabhali wafa.

39 Hagi Nebali'ma fri'nea nanekema Deviti'a nentahino amanage hu'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo agi'a hentesga hanue, Nebali'ma nagri'ma nazeri haviza hu'nemofo nona hunte. Hagi eri'za vahe'amo'ma vahe'ma ahe frizanku Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a ahe frie. Anage nehuno Deviti'a Abigelina ke atrenteno, a' erigantegahue hu'ne.

Kwathi uDavida esizwa ukuthi uNabhali wayefile, wathi, “Kabongwe uThixo, yena osekele injongo yami yokumelana loNabhali ngenxa yokungeyisa. Uvimbele inceku yakhe ekwenzeni okubi njalo wehlisela uNabhali izenzo zakhe ezimbi phezu kwelakhe ikhanda.” Emva kwalokho uDavida wathumela ilizwi ku-Abhigeli emcela ukuba abe ngumkakhe.

40 Hagi Deviti eri'za vahe'mo'za Kameli kumate urami'za Abigelina ome asami'za, Deviti'a ome avreta enkena a' erintaneno huno hurantegeta e'none.

Izinceku zakhe zaya eKhameli zathi ku-Abhigeli, “UDavida usithume kuwe ukuba sizekuthatha ukuze ube ngumkakhe.”

41 Abigeli'a mopafi kepri nehuno amanage hu'ne, Nagra Deviti' eri'za vahe mani'ne'na eri'za vahe'amofo zamagia sese hu'zankura nave'nesie.

U-Abhigeli wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wathi, “Nansi incekukazi yakho, ilungele ukukusebenzela lokugezisa inyawo zezinceku zenkosi yami.”

42 Anage nehuno Abigeli'a ame huno agra donki'amofo agumpi marerige'za 5fu'a eri'za a'ne'amo'za avega hazageno, Deviti eri'za vahe'ene vazageno, Deviti'a a' avrente'ne.

U-Abhigeli waphanga wagada ubabhemi, ephelekezelwa yizisebenzikazi zakhe ezinhlanu, wahamba lezithunywa zikaDavida wasesiba ngumkakhe.

43 Hagi Deviti'a Jezriri kumateti a' Ahinoamu ara erinte'nere, Abigeli'ma egeno'a ana taregamokea Deviti atre mani'na'e.

UDavida wayethethe njalo u-Ahinowama waseJezerili, bobabili-ke baba ngomkakhe.

44 Hianagi anama hianknafina Soli'a mofa'a Mikelina Deviti nenaro mani'neanagi, Gilim kumate ne' Lais nemofo Paltieli hanare ami'ne.

Kodwa uSawuli, indodakazi yakhe uMikhali, umkaDavida, wayeseyinike uPhalithiyeli indodana kaLayishi, owayengowaseGalimi.
