1 Hagi Deviti'ma kini mani'nea knafina, Israeli mopafina 3'a kafumofo agu'afi agatonto kna fore hu'ne. Higeno Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona nunama huno antahigegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Deviti nunamuma'arera kenona hunteno, e'inahu zama fore nehiana Soli'ene naga'amo'zama Gibioni vahe'ma zamahe fri'naza zante nona huno ama ana knazana efore nehie.
Kwasekusiba khona indlala ensukwini zikaDavida iminyaka emithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka ilandelana; uDavida wadinga ubuso beNkosi. INkosi yasisithi: Kungenxa kaSawuli langenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi, ngoba wabulala amaGibeyoni.
2 Higeno Gibioni vahera Deviti'a kehige'za agrite azageno kea zamasami'ne. Hagi ana Gibioni vahera zamagra Israeli vahera omani'nazanki Amori vahe'mokizmi zamagehe'za mani'naze. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za kora huvempa hu'za Amori vahera ozmahegosune hu'za hu'nazanagi, Soli'a agra zamahe vagare'ne. Na'ankure agra Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe mopama mika kegava hania kazigati anara hu'ne. (Josua 9:3-27)
Ngakho inkosi yabiza amaGibeyoni yathi kuwo: (AmaGibeyoni-ke ayengeyisiwo awabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa ayengawensali yamaAmori; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli babefungile kuwo; uSawuli wasedinga ukuwatshaya ekutshisekeleni kwakhe abantwana bakoIsrayeli loJuda.)
3 Hagi Deviti'a Gibioni vahe'mokizmia zamantahigeno, Soli'ma hu'nea zantera nagra inankna hu'na Soli kumimofo nona hu'na apasentanenkeno Ra Anumzamo'a asomura hurantegahie?
Ngakho uDavida wathi kumaGibeyoni: Ngingalenzelani? Ngingayenza ngani inhlawulo yokuthula ukuze libusise ilifa leNkosi?
4 Higeno Gibioni vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Soline agri nagapintira silvane golinena e'orige mago vahera Israeli nagapintira ahe frigera tagra osugahune. Anage hazageno Deviti'a ete zamantahigeno, Hagi nagra na'a mago'a zana huramantegahue?
AmaGibeyoni asesithi kuye: Kayisindaba yesiliva kumbe igolide loSawuli lendlu yakhe; futhi kakusikwethu ukubulala umuntu koIsrayeli. Wasesithi: Lokho elikutshoyo ngizalenzela khona.
5 Hige'za zamagra kinimofo kenona hu'za, Soli ana zana huranteno ama mopafintira tahe fanene hanigeta Israeli vahe mopafina omanisunegu ana antahintahia retro hu'ne.
Basebesithi enkosini: Umuntu owasiqedayo, owaceba emelene lathi ukuthi sichithwe singasali lakuwuphi umngcele wakoIsrayeli,
6 Ana hu'negu Soli nagapima mofavre'o, negeho'ma mani'ne'niana 7ni'a avreramigeta, Soli kumate Gibioni Ra Anumzamofo avuga ome zamaheta hantimaneno. Hazageno kini ne'mo'a zamasamino, Nagra avre tamigahue.
kasinikwe amadoda ayisikhombisa emadodaneni akhe, njalo siwaphanyekele iNkosi eGibeya kaSawuli, okhethiweyo weNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi: Mina ngizalipha.
7 Hagi Deviti'a Jonatani'ene huvempa hu'negu nentahino, Jonatani ne'mofo Mefi-boseti'na avre franekino Amori vahera avre ozami'ne.
Kodwa inkosi yamyekela uMefiboshethi indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawuli ngenxa yesifungo seNkosi esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi kukaDavida loJonathani indodana kaSawuli.
8 Hianagi Aia mofa Rispama Solinte'ma mani'neno, tarema zanante'nea mofavrerare Armonine ru Mefibosetinena avre'zami'ne. Ana nehuno Mehola kumateti ne' Barzilai nemofo Adrielinte'ma Soli mofamo'ma Merabu'ma mani'neno kasezmante'nea 5fua ne' mofavreramine zamavareno,
Kodwa inkosi yathatha amadodana amabili kaRizipa indodakazi kaAya ayewazalele uSawuli, uArimoni loMefiboshethi, lamadodana amahlanu kadadewabo kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli ayewazalele uAdriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMehola,
9 ana 7ni'a vahera Gibioni vahera avrezamige'za, Ra Anumzamofo avuga zamanankempi nofi hararivazi'za agonafi zamahe fri'zage'za, bali ne'zama hamare knama erigafa haza knare fri'naze.
yabanikela esandleni samaGibeyoni, asebaphanyeka entabeni phambi kweNkosi, njalo abayisikhombisa bawa kanyekanye. Babulawa ensukwini zokuvuna, ensukwini zakuqala ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali.
10 Hagi tare mofavreraremofo nezanarera Rispa'a asunku kukena erino vuno ana tva'onte me'nea have agofetu ome rutareno tafe hu'ne. Hagi bali ne'zama hamare knareti vuno ko knafima ufre'neana hanine zagenena agra ana vahe'mokizmi zmavufare kegava hu'neno, atrege'za namazagane afi zagagafamo'za zamavufaga eme one'naze.
URizipa indodakazi kaAya wasethatha isaka, wazendlalela lona phezu kwedwala, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kwaze kwathonta amanzi phezu kwabo evela emazulwini; kavumelanga inyoni zamazulu ukuthi zihlale phezu kwabo emini, lezilo zeganga ebusuku.
11 Hagi Solina henka nenaro Aia mofa Rizpama hiazamofo kema Devitima nentahino'a,
Kwasekubikelwa uDavida lokho uRizipa indodakazi kaAya, umfazi omncane kaSawuli, ayekwenzile.
12 agra Jabase kumate Giliati kaziga vuno, kora Filistia vahe'mo'za Soline nemofo Jonatanigizani Gilboa agonafi znahete'za, zanavufga eri'za maka vahe'mo'zama atruma nehazafi Jabes-Giliati ome hanti znante'naze. Henka Jabesi vahe'mo'za oku'a vu'za zanavufama ome eri'za asente'nafinti zaferina zani'a omerinaku vu'ne.
UDavida wasehamba wayathatha amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi ababewebile emdangeni weBeti-Shani, lapho amaFilisti ayebaphanyeke khona mhla amaFilisti etshaya uSawuli eGilibowa.
13 Hagi Deviti'a eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za vu'za, Soline nemofo Jonatanigizni zaferinane, Gibioni vahe'mo'za zamahe'naza 7ni'a vahe zaferina omeri'naze.
Wasesenyusa esuka lapho amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe; basebeqoqa amathambo awababephanyekiwe.
14 Ana hute'za Benzameni naga mopare vu'za Soli naga'ma asezmante'naza mopa agentega Zela kumate nefa Kisima asente'nefi ome asezmante'naze. Hagi ana maka kema kini ne'mo'ma zamasamia zama huvarageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuzamia antahizamino, ana mopafima zamaga tontozama me'neana eri atre'ne.
Basebewangcwaba amathambo kaSawuli lakaJonathani indodana yakhe elizweni lakoBhenjamini eZela, engcwabeni likaKishi uyise. Benza konke inkosi eyayibalaye khona. Njalo emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wancengeka ngenxa yelizwe.
15 Hagi ete mago'ane Israeli vahe'mo'za Filistia vahe'enena hara hu'naze. Hagi hara hu'za nevazageno, Deviti'a asafeku huno zaferina omne amne hu'ne.
AmaFilisti abuye aba lempi futhi loIsrayeli; uDavida wasesehla lenceku zakhe kanye laye, njalo balwa lamaFilisti; uDavida wasedinwa.
16 Hagi mago Filistia ha' nera agi'a Isbibenobu'e. Agra tusinasi Refaimi vahe'mokizmi nezamagehokino, agra Deviti ahenaku hu'ne. Hanki ana ne'mofo keve agona'a bronsireti tro higeno, kna'amo'a 3kilo naza hu'nea eri'neno, kasefa bainati kazine eri'ne.
UIshibi-Benobi owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga, osisindo somkhonto wakhe sasingamashekeli angamakhulu amathathu ethusi, wayebhince inkemba entsha, wathi uzamtshaya uDavida.
17 Hianagi Abisaia'a Devitina eme aza huno ha' huno ana Filistia ha' nera ahe'ne. Ana hutege'za sondia vahe'mo'za Devitina hanave huvempa ke hunte'za, kagra hatera tagranena vano osugahane. Hagi kagra Israeli vahe'motarera lampe tavi kna hunka mani'nananki, atre'nankeno ana tavimo'a asura osugahie.
Kodwa uAbishayi indodana kaZeruya wamsiza, wamtshaya umFilisti wambulala. Khona abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye besithi: Kawusayikuphuma impi lathi, hlezi ucitshe isibane sikaIsrayeli.
18 Hagi ete henka mago Filistia vahe'enena Gobi kumate hara ome hu'naze. Hagi ana hapina Sibekai'a, Husa mopareti ne'mo, Refaimi tusinasi nagapinti nera Sapuna ahe'ne.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalokhu kwaba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; khona uSibekayi umHusha watshaya uSafi, owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga.
19 Hagi ete mago'ane Gobi kumate Filistia vahe'enema ha'ma ome hazana, Elihanani'a Zaeli nemofo Betlehemu kumateti ne'mo Gati nagapinti Goliati nefuna ahe fri'ne. Hagi ana nemofo kevemo'a kukena hati masinimofo zafa'agna hu'ne.
Kwasekusiba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; uElihanani indodana kaJahari-Oregimi umBhethelehema, watshaya umfowabo kaGoliyathi umGiti, oluthi lomkhonto wakhe lwalunjengogodo lomaluki.
20 Hagi ete'za mago hara Gati kumate ome hu'naze. Hagi anampina Goliati kna ne' krefa mani'neana 6'a agigogi, azankogi huno hunte'neankino miko 24'a agigo azankone me'ne. Hagi agranena Refaimi tusinasi vahe'mokizmi nezmageho'e.
Njalo kwabuye kwaba lempi eGathi, lapho okwakulomuntu omude, owayeleminwe eyisithupha ezandleni zakhe, lamazwane ayisithupha ezinyaweni zakhe, kungamatshumi amabili lane ngenani; laye-ke wayezalelwe isiqhwaga.
21 Ana ne'mo'a Israeli vahera kiza zokago ke hunezamantegeno, Deviti nefu Simei nemofo Jonatani ana nera ahe fri'ne.
Lapho eseyisa uIsrayeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wamtshaya.
22 Hagi e'i ana 4'a vahera Gati kumateti Refaimi tusinasi nagapinti vaheki'za Deviti'ene, sondia vahe'amo'za zamahe fri'naze.
Laba abane babezalelwe isiqhwaga eGathi; njalo bawa ngesandla sikaDavida langesandla senceku zakhe.
