1 Hagi Deviti'na huvagare naneke'a ama'ne, Nagra Jesi nemofo Devitina Ra Anumzamo'a knare hunanteno ra nagima nami'nemo'ne. Jekopu Anumzamo masave frenanteno huhampri nantenemone. Nagra rama'a knare'nare zagametamina krente'noge'za Israeli vahe'mo'za zagamema nehaza ne' Devitine.
La ngamazwi okucina kaDavida: “Umbono kaDavida indodana kaJese, umbono womuntu owaphakanyiswa ngoPhezukonke, umuntu owagcotshwa nguNkulunkulu kaJakhobe, umhlabeleli wezingoma ka-Israyeli:
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo nagripi huvazino keaga nehigeno, Ra Anumzamofo kemo nagitera me'ne.
Umoya kaThixo wakhuluma ngami, ilizwi lakhe lalisolimini lwami.
3 Hagi Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a frakirante havegino, amanage huno nasami'ne, mago vahe'mo'ma fatgoma huno'ma vahe'ma kegava huzmantesiana, Anumzamofonku koro hunenteno, vahera kegava huzmantegahiankino,
UNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wakhuluma, iDwala lika-Israyeli lathi kimi: ‘Lapho umuntu ebusa abantu ngokulunga, lapho ebusa ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu,
4 ana avu'avazamo'a nanterama zage hanatino marerino remsa hiankna nehuno, nanterama monare'ma hampoma omnegeno, ko'ma ruteno rusegeno zagemo'ma remsama higeno, agata tra'zamo'ma mopafinti tretre huno hageankna nehie.
unjengokukhanya kwekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga ekuseni okungelamayezi, njengokukhanya emva kokuna kwezulu okumilisa utshani emhlabathini.’
5 Tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a nagri nagamokizmia zamazeri hanavetigahie. Na'ankure nagrira mevava hania hanave huvempa ke Agra hunanteneankino, agra ana huvempa kea ruotagreno, makazana erinte fatgo nehuno, kegava hu'nenigeno makazamo'a knare hugahie.
Indlu yami kayifanelanga kuNkulunkulu na? Kanje kenzanga lami isivumelwano esingapheliyo esalungiswayo saqiniswa izigaba zonke na? Kambe kazukuphumelelisa ukusindiswa kwami angiphe konke engikufisayo na?
6 Hagi kefo zama nehaza vahe'mo'za ave'ave trazankna hu'nazage'za vahe'mo'za zanefi atrazankna hugahaze. Na'ankure ave'ave trazana mago vahe'mo'a azantetira azeriga osu'ne.
Kodwa abantu ababi bonke bazaphoselwa eceleni njengameva, angabuthwayo ngesandla.
7 Hianagi ana ave'ave trazama avako'ma hanimo'a, aeniretiro azotareti rezanefino eri atru huteno, tevefina kre fanane hugahie.
Loba ngubani othinta ameva usebenzisa insimbi loba uluthi lomkhonto; ayatshiswa ngomlilo khonapho akhona.”
8 Hagi ama'i Devitina harafa sondia vahe'amokizmi zamagi'e, Joseb Basebeti'a Takemoni nagapinti nekino 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi kvazmi mani'ne. Hagi mago hapina agra 800'a ha' vahe'a kevenura zamahe fri'ne.
La ngamabizo amaqhawe kaDavida: UJoshebi-Bhasishebethi umThakemoni wayeyinduna yabaThathu, waphakamisela abantu abangamakhulu ayisificaminwembili umkhonto wakhe, ababulalayo ekuhlaseleni kunye.
9 Ana 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi zamefira anante kvama mani'neana, Eliesakino, agra Ahohi nagapinti ne' Dodo nemofo nekino, mago kna Filistia vahe'ene Israeli vahe'enena hara hu'za nehazageno, Israeli vahe'mo'za koro atre'za nefrageno, agra ana zupa Deviti'ene oti'neno hara hu'ne.
Yena elandelwa ngu-Eliyazari indodana kaDodo umʼAhohi. Njengomunye wamaqhawe amathathu, wayeloDavida lapho bechothoza amaFilistiya ayebuthanele impi ePhasi Damimi. Lapho-ke abantu bako-Israyeli bahlehlela emuva,
10 Hagi Filisti'a vahera hara hunezmantegeno azamo'a karakino bainati kazinte azeri antarako hu'ne. Hagi ana zupa Ra Anumzamo'a ra hanave amigeno hara Filistia vahera huzamagatere'ne. Hagi koroma fre'naza Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za ete e'za, zamahege'za fri'naza Filistia sondia vahe'mokizmi fenozana eme zogi'naze.
kodwa yena wajama wawacakazela phansi amaFilistiya isandla sakhe saze sadinwa sanamathela enkembeni. Ngalelolanga uThixo waletha ukunqoba okukhulu. Amabutho abuyela ku-Eleyazari ukuyahlubula abafileyo kuphela nje.
11 Hagi mago sondia kva nera Harariti ne' Age nemofo Samakino, mago zupa Filistia vahe'mo'za sondia vahezmi Lehie nehazafi zamazeri atru hu'naze. Hagi anama zamazeri atru hu'nafina tusi'a lentoli kohe hoza me'ne. Hagi anama hazage'za Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za Filistia vahe'mokizmi koro fre'naze.
Phansi kwakhe kwakuloShama indodana ka-Ageye umHarari. Kwathi amaFilistiya eseqoqene endaweni eyayilezindumba ezinengi, amabutho ako-Israyeli awabalekela.
12 Hianagi Sama'a ana hozamofo amu'nompi oti'neno hara huno Filistia vahera zamahe'ne. Hagi ana zupa Ra Anumzamo zamaza higeno, tusi'a hara agetere'ne.
Kodwa uShama wajama phakathi kwensimu. Wayivikela wawacakazela phansi amaFilistiya, uThixo waletha ukunqoba okukhulu.
13 Hagi ne'zama vasage knafina 30'a hanavenentake sondia vahepinti 3'a kva vahe'mo'za Devitima mani'nerega Adulamu havegama me'nerega vu'naze. Hagi Filistia sondia vahe'mo'za Refaimi agupofi seli nona ki'za mani'naze.
Ngesikhathi sokuvuna, abathathu ezinduneni ezingamatshumi amathathu baya kuDavida ebhalwini lwase-Adulami, lapho ibutho lamaFilistiya lalimise eSigodini saseRefayi.
14 Hagi Betlehemu kumara Filistia ha vahe'mo'za eriza mani'nazageno, Deviti'a frakino havegampi mani'ne.
Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, iviyo lamabutho amaFilistiya laliseBhethilehema.
15 Hagi Deviti'a anampinka frakino mani'negeno tinkura tusiza huno avesigeno amanage huno hu'ne, Betlehemu kuma'mofo kahanteti mago'a vahemo tina afino eme namige'na nosina knare hisine!
UDavida womela amanzi wasesithi, “Oh, sengathi kungaba lomuntu ongangikhela amanzi okunatha emthonjeni oseduze lesango laseBhethilehema!”
16 Hige'za 3'a hanave sondia vahe'mo'za oku'a kafona ante'za nevu'za Filistia vahera ha'huzamante'za vu'za, Betlehemu ku'ma kegina tva'onteti tina ome afi'za e'naze. Ana tima afi'za eri'za Devitinte'ma ageno'a, agra ana tina oneno, erino Ra Anumzamofontega ofa huno mopafi tagitre'ne.
Ngakho amaqhawe amathathu adabula phakathi kwamaviyo amaFilistiya, akha amanzi emthonjeni eduze lesango laseBhethilehema ahamba lawo kuDavida. Kodwa wala ukuwanatha, esikhundleni salokho wawathela phambi kukaThixo.
17 Ana nehuno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka ama timo'a, frizankura ontahiza tima ome afi'za e'naza vahe'mokizmi korankna hu'neankina onegahue. Anage nehuno Deviti'a ana tina onene. Hagi e'ina hu'za vahe'mo'zama osugazana, 3'a sondia vahe'mo'za hu'naze.
Wathi, “Akungenzeki, Oh Thixo, ukuba ngenze lokhu. Akusigazi labantu abahambe befake ukuphila kwabo engozini na?” UDavida kawanathanga. Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zalawomabutho womathathu.
18 Hagi Zeruia'e nehaza a'mo'a Joapune Abisaine kasezanante'neankino, Joapu nefu Abisai ana 30'a sondia vahe'mokizmi kva'zimia mani'ne. Mago ha'pina agra 300'a ha' vahe keve'anura zamahe fri'ne. Hagi agri agi agenkemo'a ana 3'a vahe'mokizmi zamaginena magokna hu'ne.
U-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayeyinduna yabaThathu labo. Waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu amathathu, ababulalayo, ngakho waba lodumo njengabaThathu.
19 Hagi ana 30'a vahepina agra ugota huzmanteno rankva mani'ne. Hianagi ana 3'a vahepina agrira ohampri'naze.
Kahlonitshwanga kakhulu kulabaThathu na? Waba ngumlawuli wabo, loba engazange abe phakathi kwabo.
20 Hagi Jehoiada nemofo Benaia'a agra Kabziri kumateti kore osu rama'a zupa hanavetino ha' nehia nere. Hagi agra Moapu sondia vahepi vugota hu'na'a netre nezanaheno, hampo ko' atuno krari'nea knafi kerifi uramino raioni ahe'ne.
UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayeliqhawe elilesibindi laseKhabhizeli, elenza izenzo zobuqhawe obukhulu. Wabulala amaqhawe amaMowabi amabili ayezintshantshu ekulweni. Wake wangena emgodini wabulala isilwane mhla kulongqwaqwane.
21 Hagi agra mago zupa Isipi ha' nera marerisa ne' ahe fri'ne. Hagi ana Isipi nera vimago knonu aheno keve'a hanareno, ana kevenu ahe fri'ne.
Njalo wabulala umGibhithe owayemkhulu kakhulu. Lanxa umGibhithe lowo wayephethe umkhonto, uBhenaya wamhlasela ngenduku. Wawuhluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.
22 Hagi ama'nazana Johoda nemofo Benaia hu'nea zamo agimo'a 3'a sondia vahe'mokizmi zamagimo'ma hu'neaza huno magozahukna hu'ne.
Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada; laye futhi wayedume njengamaqhawe amathathu.
23 Hagi 30'a sondia vahepintira agri agimo'a marerine. Hianagi agrira 3'a nagapina avre onte'naze. Hagi Deviti'a agra'a avufgare kegava hania ne' avrente'ne.
Wayehlonitshwa kakhulu ukwedlula bonke abangamaTshumi Amathathu, kodwa wayengabalwa kanye labaThathu. UDavida wambeka ukuba abe ngumphathi wabalindi bakhe.
