AmaZifi aya kuSawuli eGibhiya athi kuye, “UDavida kacatshanga entabeni yaseHakhila, ekhangele eJeshimoni na?”
2 Hazageno Soli'a 3 tauseni'a hanave Israeli sondia vahe zamavareno, Sifi ka'ma kokampi Devitinku hakenaku vu'ne.
Ngakho uSawuli waya eNkangala yaseZifi, elezinkulungwane ezintathu zabantu bakhe abakhethiweyo bako-Israyeli, ukuyadinga uDavida khona.
3 Hagi Soli'a Jesmoni tava'onte Hakila agonafi seli nonku'ma ome kino mani'ne. Hianagi Deviti'a ka'ma kopi mani'neno, Soli'ma agriku'ma hakeno eazamofo kea nentahino,
USawuli wenza isihonqo phansi komgwaqo entabeni yaseHakhila ekhangele eJeshimoni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi ebona ukuthi uSawuli wayesemlandele khonale,
4 mago'a afure vahe huzamantege'za, Soli'ma emani'nenigura ome ke'naze.
wathuma inhloli wasekwazi ukuthi uSawuli wayefikile impela.
5 Hagi anantetira Deviti'a otino Soli'ma seli nonkuma eme anteno mani'nerega vu'ne. Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahete kva ne'a Neri nemofo Abnakea Sondia vahe'mo'za masegagizageno amu'nompi masenakeno, Deviti'a ana kenagera rerakaureno ome zanage'ne.
Ngakho uDavida wasuka waya lapho uSawuli ayemise khona wabona lapho okwakulele khona uSawuli lo-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, umlawuli webutho. USawuli wayelele phakathi kwesihonqo, ibutho lisezihonqweni limhanqile.
6 Hagi Deviti'a Hiti ne' Ahimelekine, Zeruia nemofo Joapu nefu Abisaikizni zanantahigeno, Iza navega hanige'na Soli'ma seli noma eme kino'ma mani'nerega uramigahue. Anage higeno Abisai'a huno, Nagra kagrane uramigahue.
UDavida wasebuza u-Ahimeleki umHithi lo-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, wathi, “Ngubani ozahamba lami phakathi kwesihonqo kuSawuli na?” U-Abhishayi wathi, “Ngizahamba lawe.”
7 Higeno Deviti'ene Abisaikea ana kenagera Soli'ma seli nonku'ma anteno mani'nefi ufre'na'e. Anampima ufrene ome ka'ana, Soli'a kuma amu'nompi karugru keve'a asenirega retru renenteno, masenegeno, Abna'ene mago'a sondia vahe'mo'zanena Solina mase kagi ante'nage'za ome ke'na'e.
Ngakho uDavida lo-Abhishayi baya ebuthweni ebusuku babona uSawuli elele ubuthongo phakathi kwesihonqo umkhonto wakhe ugwaze phansi eduzane lekhanda lakhe. U-Abhineri lamabutho babelele bemhanqile.
8 Hagi Abisai'a Devitina asamino, Menina Anumzamo'a ha' vaheka'a kazampi avrenteanki, natrege'na krugru kevereti magoke zupa reharuharu hu'na mopare rekamarenta'neno.
U-Abhishayi wasesithi kuDavida, “Lamhla uNkulunkulu unikele isitha sakho ezandleni zakho. Khathesi-ke kahle ngimgwazele phansi kanye nje ngomkhonto wami; kangiyi kugalela kabili.”
9 Hianagi Deviti'a Abisaina asamino, Ohenka atro. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma ahesuta'a, hazenkefi manigahue.
Kodwa uDavida wathi ku-Abhishayi, “Ungambulali. Ngubani ongabeka isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo angabi lecala na?”
10 Deviti'a mago'ane huno, Ra Anumzamo Agra'a ahe frise. Hagi ozafama resuno frige, hapi uraminige'za ahe frige hugahaze.
Wasesithi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, uThixo yena ngokwakhe uzamtshaya; mhlawumbe isikhathi sakhe sizafika afe, loba aye empini abhubhe.
11 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea nera ahefrio huno hu izora huonante'ne. Hagi menina Soli keve'ane tintafema'ane aseniregama me'neana erigeta amafintira atiramita va'maneno.
Kodwa uThixo kanqabele ukuba ngibeke isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo. Thatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi okuphansi kwekhanda lakhe, sihambe.”
12 Hagi Soli asenirega me'nea kevene, tintafema'anena Deviti'a erigeke vu'na'e. Hagi anama ha'azana mago vahe'mo'e huno keno antahino osu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana miko vahera zamazeri zamavutoko hige'za, mase himre'nazageke anara hu'na'e.
Ngakho uDavida wathatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi okwakuphansi kwekhanda likaSawuli, basebehamba. Bonke babelele ngoba uThixo wayebehlisele ubuthongo obukhulu.
13 Hagi Deviti'a vuno mago agona kantu kaziga me'nea agonare afete ome oti'ne.
UDavida wachaphela ngakwelinye icele wema phezu kwentatshana khatshana; kwakulebanga elibanzi phakathi kwabo.
14 Ananteti Deviti'a Abnane sondia vahe'anena kezana atizamino, Abnaga antufina mani'nano, higeno Abna'a huno, Kagra izaga kini nemofonkura kezankea nehane.
Wamemeza ibutho lo-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, wathi, “Kanti kawungiphenduli, Abhineri na?” U-Abhineri waphendula wathi, “Ungubani wena omemeza inkosi na?”
15 Higeno Deviti'a huno, Abnaga kagri'ma kagatere'nea harafa vahera Israeli agu'afina iza mani'ne? Na'a higenka kini nera kegava huontankeno, ahenaku'ma nehia vahe'mo'a ahe'zana hu'ne?
UDavida wathi, “Uyindoda, kawusiyo na? Njalo ngubani onjengawe ko-Israyeli na? Kungani ungayilindanga inkosi yakho na? Umuntu othile ufikile ukuba abulale inkosi yakho.
16 Kagra knare kavukavara osane. Na'ankure kagrane sondia vahekanena Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma kegava huontazankita tamagra frigahaze. Hagi kini ne'mofo aseniregama me'nea keve'ane tintafema'a iga me'nefi keho?
Okwenzileyo kakukuhle. Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila, wena labantu bakho lifanele ukufa, ngoba kaliyilindanga inkosi yenu, ogcotshiweyo kaThixo. Khangelani emaceleni enu. Ungaphi umkhonto wenkosi lesigxingi samanzi okube kuphansi kwekhanda layo na?”
17 Higeno Soli'ma Deviti ageru'ma nentahino'a kezatino, nenamofoga Devitiga nehano. Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, ranimoka, kini nera nagri nageru nentahine.
USawuli walazi ilizwi likaDavida, wasesithi, “Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, Davida ndodana yami?” UDavida waphendula wathi, “Yebo yilo, nkosi, nkosi yami.”
18 Deviti'a Solina asamino, Na'ante ranimoka eri'za vahekamo'na narotago nehane? Na'a nagra hugante'noe? Nagra na'a havizana hu'noe?
Wengeza wathi, “Kanti kungani inkosi yami ixotshana lenceku yayo na? Kuyini engikwenzileyo, njalo licala bani engilalo na?
19 Hagi kininimoka eri'za vahekamo'na hanua nanekea antahinamio, kagrima Ra Anumzamo'ma kazeri oti'nigenkama ha'ma renenante'nankeno'a, ofama hananana antahigamigahie. Hianagi vahe'mo'ma kazeri otisigenkama ama anazama nehanankeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a kazusi huzmantegahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma erisintima haregahane hu'nea mopafintira naratogo nehu'za, ru anumzante mono ome hunto hu'za hu'naze.
Khathesi-ke nkosi, nkosi yami, lalela amazwi enceku yakho. Nxa uThixo ekuqubule ukuba umelane lami, kamkele umhlatshelo. Kodwa nxa kwenziwe ngabantu, kabathukwe phambi kukaThixo! Khathesi sebengixotshile esabelweni sami elifeni likaThixo njalo bathi, ‘Hamba uyekhonza abanye onkulunkulu.’
20 Hagi atregeno koranimo'a, Ra Anumzamofo tava'ontetira atreno ru mopafina tagi oramino. Hagi Israeli vahe kinimoka, kagra na'ante hinimagu hakeankna hunka nagrikura nehakenka, agonafi namagu hakeanknara nehane?
Ungenzi igazi lami lichithekele phansi khatshana lobukhona bukaThixo. Inkosi yako-Israyeli iphumile ukuzadinga insikizi njengomuntu ozingela isikhwehle ezintabeni.”
21 Anante Soli'a huno, Nagra kumi huanki nenamofo Divitiga mago'ane kagrira kazeri havizana osugahuanki ete eno. Na'ankure ko nahantesinagi, nagrira antahinaminka onahenka natre'nane. Nagra tamage hu'na neginagi'za hu'na havi avu'ava zantfa hu'noe.
Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi, “Ngenze isono. Buya Davida, ndodana yami. Ngenxa yokuthi ukhangele impilo yami njengegugu lamhla, kangiyikuzama futhi ukwenza okubi kuwe. Ngempela ngenze ubuwula njalo ngiphambanise kakhulu.”
22 Hagi Deviti'a huno, kini ne'moka kevea ama me'neanki, mago nehaza ne' huntegeno eme erino.
UDavida waphendula wathi, “Nanku umkhonto wenkosi. Wothi omunye wezinsizwa zakho keze ngapha azewuthatha.
23 Hagi fatgo zamavu'zmava nehu'za, kazigazi hu'za ke'ama amage'ma nentaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a ana zamavu'zamavatera mi'zana nezamie. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nazampi kavrenteanagi, kahe ofri'noe. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo masave freganteno kazeri oti'ne.
UThixo uyamnika umvuzo umuntu wonke ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe. UThixo ukunikele ezandleni zami lamhla, kodwa kade ngingeke ngibeke isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo.
24 Hagi menina kagri'ma antahigami'na onkahorera, Ra Anumzamo'a antahinamino onaheno, miko hazenke zampintira naza hugahie.
Ngeqiniso njengoba ngiqakathekise ukuphila kwakho lamhla, sengathi kanjalo-ke uThixo angaqakathekisa ukuphila kwami angisindise kukho konke ukuhlupheka.”
25 Anante Soli'a Devitinku huno, Mofavrenimoka, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugante'nigenka ranraza nehunka, hara agateregahane. Anage huteke Deviti'a neviana, Soli'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi kuDavida, “Sengathi ungabusiseka, ndodana yami Davida; uzakwenza izinto ezinkulu njalo unqobe.” UDavida wasuka wazihambela, uSawuli wasebuyela ekhaya.
