1 Samwiri 25

1 Awo Samwiri n’afa, Isirayiri yenna ne bakuŋŋaana okumukungubagira. Ne bamuziika ewuwe e Laama. Awo Dawudi n’avaayo n’aserengeta mu ddungu Palani.

Samueli anamwalira, ndipo Aisraeli onse anasonkhana kudzalira maliro ake ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda ku mudzi kwawo ku Rama. Ndipo Davide anapita ku chipululu cha Parani.

2 Mu biro ebyo waaliwo omusajja omugagga ennyo mu Mawoni eyalina eby’obugagga e Kalumeeri. Yalina endiga enkumi ssatu n’embuzi lukumi. Byali biseera bya kusala byoya eby’endiga ze, e Kalumeeri.

Kunali munthu wina wolemera kwambiri ku Maoni amene malo ake a ntchito anali ku Karimeli. Iyeyu anali ndi mbuzi 1,000 ndi nkhosa 3,000.

3 Erinnya ly’omusajja ye yali Nabali, ne mukyala we nga ye Abbigayiri. Yali mukyala mutegeevu era nga mulungi, nga bw’omutunuulira alabika bulungi, naye bba Omukalebu, nga wa kkabyo kyokka nga mukalabakalaba mu mirimu gye.

Dzina lake linali Nabala ndipo anali wa fuko la Kalebe. Dzina la mkazi wake linali Abigayeli. Anali mkazi wanzeru ndi wokongola, koma mwamuna wake, wa banja la Kalebe, anali wowuma mtima ndi wamwano pa zochita zake.

4 Nabali yali ng’asala ebyoya by’endiga ze, Dawudi n’akiwulira.

Davide anamva akanali ku chipululu kuti Nabala akumeta nkhosa.

5 Dawudi n’atuma abavubuka kkumi, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke e Kalumeeri eri Nabali mumulamuse mu linnya lyange.

Choncho anatuma anyamata khumi nawawuza kuti, “Pitani kwa Nabala ku Karimeli ndipo mukamulonjere mʼdzina langa.

6 Mumugambe nti, Emirembe gibeere ku ggwe n’ennyumba yo, ne ku bintu byo byonna.

Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Mtendere ukhale ndi inu, banja lanu pamodzi ndi zonse zimene muli nazo.

7 “Mpulira nti ekiseera eky’okusala ebyoya by’endiga kituuse. Abasumba bo bwe baabeeranga awamu naffe, tetwabayisanga bubi, era n’ebbanga lyonna lye baamala e Kalumeeri tewali na kimu ku bintu byabwe ekyabula.

“‘Tsono ndamva kuti muli ndi anthu ometa nkhosa. Pamene abusa anu anali nafe kuno, sitinawachite china chilichonse choyipa, ndipo sanasowe kanthu pa nthawi yonse imene anali ku Karimeli.

8 Buuza abaweereza bo, be bajulirwa. Noolwekyo abavubuka bange balabe ekisa mu maaso go kubanga bazze mu kiseera eky’okukwatiramu embaga. Nkusaba obawe kyonna ky’olinawo, oweerezeeko ne mutabani wo Dawudi.”

Muwafunse antchito anu ndipo akuwuzani. Kotero akomereni mtima anyamata anga, pakuti tabwera pa nthawi yachikondwerero. Chonde apatseniko antchito anuwo ndi mwana wanu Davide chilichonse chimene mungakhale nacho.’”

9 Awo abasajja ba Dawudi bwe baatuuka, ne bawa Nabali obubaka obwo mu linnya lya Dawudi, ne balindirira.

Anyamata a Davide aja atafika, anamuwuza Nabala zonse zimene Davide anayankhula. Ndipo anadikira yankho.

10 Nabali n’addamu abaweereza ba Dawudi nti, “Dawudi oyo ye ani? Mutabani wa Yese oyo ye ani? Ennaku zino abaweereza bangi badduka ku bakama baabwe.

Nabala anayankha anyamata a Davide kuti, “Kodi Davide ndi ndani? Mwana wa Yese ndi ndani? Masiku ano pali antchito ambiri amene akuthawa kwa mabwana awo.

11 Nnyinza ntya okuddira emigaati gyange, n’amazzi, n’ennyama bye ntekeddeteekedde abasajja bange abasala ebyoya ne mbiwa be sirina kye mbamanyiiko?”

Nditengerenji buledi, madzi ndi nyama zimene ndaphera anthu anga ometa nkhosa ndi kuzipereka kwa anthu amene sindikudziwa kumene achokera?”

12 Awo abasajja ba Dawudi ne bakyuka ne baddayo ne bamutegeeza buli kigambo nga bwe bategeezebbwa.

Choncho anyamata a Davide aja anatembenuka nabwerera. Atafika anafotokozera Davide mawu onse a Nabala.

13 Dawudi n’agamba abasajja be nti, “Mwesibe buli muntu ekitala kye!” Buli omu ku bo ne yeesiba ekitala kye, ne Dawudi ne yeesiba ekikye, abasajja nga bikumi bina ne bayambuka ne Dawudi, ebikumi bibiri ne basigala nga bakuuma eby’okukozesa.

Davide anawuza anthu ake kuti, “Aliyense amangirire lupanga lake!” Choncho aliyense anamangirira lupanga lake. Davidenso anamangirira lupanga lake. Anthu pafupifupi 400 ndiwo anapita ndi Davide, pamene anthu 200 anatsala ndi katundu.

14 Omu ku baddu ba Nabali n’agamba Abbigayiri mukyala wa Nabali nti, “Dawudi yatuma ababaka ng’ali mu ddungu okulamusa mukama waffe naye n’abavuma;

Tsono mmodzi mwa antchito anawuza Abigayeli mkazi wa Nabala kuti, “Davide anatumiza amithenga kuchokera ku chipululu kudzalonjera mbuye wathu, koma iye anawalalatira.

15 ate nga abasajja abo baali ba kisa nnyo gye tuli, era tebalina kabi ke baatukola newaakubadde okubuza ekintu n’ekimu ku bintu byaffe bwe twali mu ddungu nabo.

Komatu anthuwa anatichitira zabwino kwambiri. Sanatizunze, ndipo nthawi yonse imene tinali nawo ku busa sitinasowe kanthu.

16 Baaberanga ng’ekisenge okutwetooloola emisana n’ekiro, ekiseera kyonna kye twamala nabo nga tulunda endiga.

Ankatitchinjiriza ngati mpanda usiku ndi usana nthawi yonse tinkaweta nkhosa.

17 Kaakano kifumiitirizeeko, olabe ky’oyinza okukola, kubanga akabi kajjidde mukama waffe n’ennyumba ye yonna. Musajja atabuulirirwa.”

Tsono onani chimene mungachite, chifukwa zimenezi zingadzetse tsoka pa mbuye wathu pamodzi ndi nyumba yake. Paja mbuye athu aja ndi munthu wa khalidwe loyipa moti palibe amene angathe kuyankhula naye.”

18 Awo amangwago Abbigayiri n’ayanguwa n’addira emigaati ebikumi bibiri, n’ebita bibiri ebya wayini, n’ennyama ey’endiga ttaano ennongoose obulungi, n’ebigero bitaano eby’eŋŋaano ensiike, n’ebitole kikumi eby’ezabbibu enkalu, n’ebitole ebikumi bibiri eby’ettiini, n’abiteeka ku ndogoyi.

Ndipo Abigayeli sanataye nthawi. Iye anatenga malofu a buledi 200, matumba a chikopa awiri a vinyo, nkhosa zisanu zowotcheratu, makilogalamu 17 a tirigu wokazinga, makeke a mphesa zowuma 100, ndiponso makeke a nkhuyu 200, ndipo anazisenzetsa abulu.

19 N’agamba abaweereza be nti, “Munkulemberemu, nange nzija.” Naye n’atabuulirako bba Nabali.

Kenaka anawuza antchito ake kuti, “Tsogolani, ine ndikutsatirani.” Koma sanawuze mwamuna wake Nabala.

20 Awo bwe yali yeebagadde endogoyi ye, n’ayita kumpi n’olusozi nga lumukweka. N’asisinkana Dawudi n’abasajja be nabo nga baserengeta okumwolekera.

Mayi uja atakwera pa bulu wake ndi kufika pa tsinde la phiri, anangoona Davide ndi ankhondo ake akubwera kunali iye. Choncho anakumana nawo.

21 Dawudi yali yakamala okwogera nti, “Nakuumira bwereere ebintu byonna eby’omusajja ono bwe byali mu ddungu ne wataba na kimu ekyabula; bw’atyo bw’ansasudde, obubi olw’obulungi.

Nthawiyi nʼkuti Davide atanena kuti, “Kani ndinalondera pachabe katundu wa munthu uyu mʼchipululu muja! Ndipotu palibe kanthu nʼkamodzi komwe kake kamene kanasowa. Tsono wandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino.

22 Kale Katonda akole bw’atyo abalabe ba Dawudi n’okukirawo, enkeera bwe wanaabaawo omusajja we n’omu anaasigala nga mulamu.”

Mulungu andilange kwambiri ngati pofika mmawa nditakhale nditasiyako ngakhale munthu mmodzi mwa onse amene ali nawo.”

23 Awo Abbigayiri bwe yalengera Dawudi, n’ayanguwa okuva ku ndogoyi ye, n’avuunama mu maaso ga Dawudi.

Abigayeli ataona Davide, anatsika pa bulu wake mofulumira ndipo anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Davide.

24 N’agwa ku bigere bye n’ayogera nti, “Mukama wange omusango gubeere ku nze nzekka. Nkwegayiridde leka omuweereza wo ayogere naawe; wuliriza omuweereza wo ky’anaayogera.

Ali chigonere choncho pa mapazi a Davide anati, “Mbuye wanga, kulakwa kukhale pa ine ndekha. Chonde lolani kuti mdzakazi wanune ndiyankhule nanu, ndipo mumve mawu a ine mdzakazi wanu.

25 Mukama wange aleme okussa omwoyo ku musajja omusirusiru oyo Nabali, kubanga n’erinnya lye litegeeza musirusiru, atambulira mu busirusiru bwe. Naye nze omuweereza wo, ssaalabye bavubuka mukama wange be watumye.

Mbuye wanga musasamale za mwamuna wanga Nabala, munthu wa khalidwe loyipa. Iyeyu ali monga dzina lake liliri. Monga dzina lake litanthauza kuti chitsiru, ndiye kuti zake zonse ndi zauchitsiru basi. Koma ine mdzakazi wanu, sindinawaone anthu amene mbuye wanga munawatuma.

26 “Kale nno mukama wange, nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, akubedde obutayiwa musaayi newaakubadde obutawalana ggwanga n’omukono gwo, era naawe bw’oli omulamu, abalabe bo, n’abo abakuyigganya bonna mukama wange babeere nga Nabali.

Tsono mbuye wanga muli apa, ndikulumbira pali Yehova wamoyo amene wakuletsani kuti musakhetse magazi a munthu ndi kulipsira nokha, kuti adani anu amene afuna kukuchitani zoyipa adzakhale ngati Nabala.

27 Era n’ekirabo kino omuweereza wo ky’aleetedde mukama wange kiweebwe abavubuka abatambula ne mukama wange.

Choncho, nazi mphatso zimene mdzakazi wanu ndabwera nazo kwa mbuye wanga kuti zipatsidwe kwa anyamata amene muli nawo.

28 Nkwegayiridde osonyiwe ekyonoono kw’omuweereza wo, era Mukama talirema kuzimbira mukama wange obwakabaka obw’enkalakkalira, kubanga mukama wange alwana entalo za Mukama. Waleme okulabika ekikolwa ekikyamu kyonna mu ggwe ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.

Chonde khululukani zolakwa za ine mdzakazi wanu. Ndithu Yehova adzakhazikitsa banja la mbuye wanga mu ufumu, popeza mukumenya nkhondo ya Yehova. Choncho choyipa sichidzapezeka mwa inu masiku onse a moyo wanu.

29 Ne bwe walibaawo omuntu yenna alikulumba okukuyigganya okutwala obulamu bwo, obulamu bwa mukama wange bukuumibwenga Mukama Katonda wo mu lulyo olw’abalamu. Naye obulamu bw’abalabe bo alibuvuumuula ng’ejjinja bwe liva mu nvuumuulo.

Ngati munthu wina akuwukirani ndi kukulondani, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzateteza moyo wa mbuye wanga monga mmene munthu asungira chuma mʼphukusi, koma moyo wa adani anu adzawutaya kutali monga momwe munthu amaponyera mwala ndi legeni.

30 Awo Mukama bw’alikolera mukama wange ebirungi byonna bye yamusuubiza, era n’amufuula okuba omukulembeze wa Isirayiri,

Yehova adzakuchitirani mbuye wanga zabwino zonse zimene anakulonjezani. Adzakuyikani kukhala wolamulira Aisraeli.

31 mukama wange talibeera na kulumirizibwa mu mutima olw’okuyiwa omusaayi awatali nsonga, wadde okwewalanira eggwanga. Era Mukama bw’alikukolera ebirungi mukama wange, ojjukiranga omuweereza wo.”

Zikadzatero, inu mbuye wanga simudzakhala ndi chikumbumtima choti munakhetsa magazi kapena kulipsira popanda chifukwa. Koma Yehova akadzakuchitirani zabwino zonsezi musadzandiyiwale ine mdzakazi wanu.”

32 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Abbigayiri nti, “Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri atenderezebwe, akutumye okujja okunsisinkana leero.

Tsono Davide anawuza Abigayeli kuti, “Alemekezeke Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wakutuma iwe lero kuti ukumane nane.

33 Akuwe omukisa oyo akubedde okusalawo obulungi, era akubedde okundabula obutayiwa musaayi leero n’obuteewalanira ggwanga.

Yehova akudalitseni chifukwa cha nzeru zanu pondiletsa lero kuti ndisakhetse magazi ndi kubwezera adani anga ndi manja anga.

34 Kubanga mazima ddala nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bw’ali omulamu, ambedde obutakukolako kabi, singa toyanguye kujja kunsisinkana, tewandibadde musajja n’omu owa Nabali eyandiwonyeewo, obudde we bwandikeeredde enkya.”

Kunena zoona, pali Yehova Wamoyo, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wandiletsa kuti ndisakupwetekeni, mukanapanda kubwera msanga kudzakumana nane, palibe munthu aliyense wamwamuna wa Nabala akanasiyidwa wamoyo pakucha mmawa.”

35 Awo Dawudi n’akkiriza okutwala Abbigayiri bye yaleeta, n’ayogera nti, “Genda ewuwo mirembe. Mpulidde ebigambo byo, era nzikkirizza okwegayirira kwo.”

Ndipo Davide analandira kwa mayiyo zimene anamutengera ndipo anati, “Pitani kwanu mu mtendere. Ine ndamva mawu anu ndipo ndavomera zimene mwapempha.”

36 Awo Abbigayiri bwe yaddayo eri Nabali, n’amusanga ng’ali mu nnyumba, era ng’akoze embaga, ng’eya kabaka. Yali asanyuukiridde nnyo, era ng’atamidde, kyeyava tamunyega ku olwo, okutuusa enkeera.

Abigayeli atabwerera kwa Nabala anamupeza ali mʼnyumba akuchita mphwando ngati la mfumu. Iye anali atakondwa kwambiri popeza anali ataledzera kwambiri. Choncho mkazi wakeyo sanamuwuze kalikonse mpaka mmawa kutacha.

37 Awo bwe bwakya, Nabali omwenge nga gumuweddeko, mukyala we n’amutegeeza ebigambo ebyo byonna, naye omutima gwe ne gukakanyala, ne guba ng’ejjinja.

Tsono mmawa, mowa utamuchoka Nabala, mkazi wake anamuwuza zonse. Pomwepo mtima wake unaleka kugunda ndipo unawuma gwaa ngati mwala.

38 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku nga kkumi, Nabali n’afa ekikutuko.

Patapita masiku khumi, Yehova anakantha Nabala ndipo anafa.

39 Awo Dawudi bwe yawulira Nabali ng’afudde, n’ayogera nti, “Mukama yeebazibwe anwaniridde, Nabali olw’obubi bwe yankola. Mukama ambedde, era akuumye omuweereza we obutakola kikyamu, n’ateeka ebikolwa bya Nabali ebibi ku mutwe ggwe.” Awo Dawudi n’atumira Abbigayiri, n’amusaba afuuke mukazi we ng’amusaba okumuwasa.

Pamene Davide anamva kuti Nabala wamwalira, iye anati, “Alemekezeke Yehova, walipsira Nabala chipongwe chimene anandichita ndipo anandiletsa ine mtumiki wake kuti ndisachite choyipa. Yehova wabwezera pamutu pa Nabala choyipa chimene iye anachita.” Kenaka Davide anatumiza mawu kwa Abigayeli, kumupempha kuti akhale mkazi wake.

40 Abaweereza ba Dawudi ne bagenda e Kalumeeri ne bagamba Abbigayiri nti, “Dawudi atutumye tukutwale omufumbirwe.”

Anyamata a Davide atafika ku Karimeli anawuza Abigayeli kuti, “Davide watituma kwa iwe kuti tikutenge ukhale mkazi wake.”

41 N’avuunama amaaso ge n’ayogera nti, “Laba omuweereza wo mweteefuteefu okunaazanga ebigere by’abaweereza ba mukama wange.”

Abigayeli anagwada nagunditsa nkhope yake pansi ndipo anati, “Ine mdzakazi wa mbuye wanga ndakonzeka kutumikira ngakhale kusambitsa mapazi a anyamata ake.”

42 Awo Abbigayiri n’ayanguwa okwebagala endogoyi, ng’awerekeddwako abaweereza bataano, n’agenda n’ababaka ba Dawudi, n’amufumbirwa.

Motero Abigayeli ananyamuka mofulumira nakwera bulu wake. Tsono iye pamodzi ndi anamwali ake asanu amene ankamutumikira, anatsagana ndi amithenga a Davide aja ndipo anakakhala mkazi wake wa Davide.

43 Dawudi yali awasizza ne Akinoamu ow’e Yezuleeri, era bombi ne baba bakyala be.

Davide nʼkuti atakwatiranso Ahinoamu wa ku Yezireeli ndipo onse awiri anali akazi ake.

44 Kyokka Sawulo yali agabidde muwala we Mikali, eyali mukyala wa Dawudi, Paluti mutabani wa Layisi ow’e Galimu.

Koma Sauli anali atakwatitsa Mikala, mkazi wa Davide kwa Paliti mwana wa Laisi wa ku Galimu.
