1 Samwiri 29
1 Awo Abafirisuuti ne bakuŋŋaanyiza eggye lyabwe lyonna e Afeki, n’Abayisirayiri ne basiisira ku luzzi oluli mu Yezuleeri.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi matanga tau ki ʻEfeki: pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ʻo ofi ki he matavai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sesilili.
2 Abakulembeze b’Abafirisuuti bwe baali nga bakumba n’ebibinja byabwe eby’ebikumi n’eby’enkumi, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne babagoberera nga babavaako emabega wamu ne Akisi.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi toko teau, mo e ngaahi toko afe: pea ʻalu ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata kimui mo ʻAkisi.
3 Abaduumizi b’Abafirisuuti ne babuuza nti, “Ate bano Abaebbulaniya bakola ki wano?” Akisi n’abaddamu nti, “Oyo ye Dawudi, omukungu wa Sawulo kabaka wa Isirayiri. Abadde nange okusukka mu mwaka, era okuva ku lunaku lwe yayabulira Sawulo n’okutuusa leero, sirabanga nsonga ku ye.”
Pea pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, “Ko e hā ʻoku fai ʻe he kau Hepelū ni ʻi heni?” Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkisi ki he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, “ʻIkai ko Tevita eni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻiate au ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, pe ko e ngaahi taʻu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻe taha ʻiate ia talu ʻene hau kiate au ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni?”
4 Naye abaduumizi b’Abafirisuuti ne bamunyiigira ne bamugamba nti, “Sindika omusajja oyo addeyo mu kifo kye wamuwa. Tasaanye kugenda naffe mu lutalo, si kulwa nga atwefuukira wakati mu lutalo. Olowooza waliwo ekkubo eddala erisinga lino okumusobozesa okufuna okuganja eri mukama we bw’amutwalira emitwe gy’abasajja baffe?
Pea naʻe ʻita ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia kiate ia; pea pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia kiate ia, “Ke ke fakafoki ʻae siana ni, koeʻuhi ke toe ʻalu ia ki hono potu ʻaia kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ke ʻalu hifo mo kitautolu ki he tau, telia naʻa hoko ia ʻi he tau ko e fili kiate kitautolu: he te ne fakalelei ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻi he hā? ʻIkai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe kau tangata ni?
5 Oyo si ye Dawudi gwe baayimbangako, nga bazina, nga boogera nti, “‘Sawulo asse enkumi ze, ne Dawudi asse emitwalo gye?’”
ʻIkai ko Tevita eni, ʻaia naʻa nau hiva fetoutou fetaliʻaki ai ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, mo Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano?’”
6 Awo Akisi n’ayita Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Amazima ddala nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, obadde mwesimbu era eyeesigibwa, era nandyagadde oweerereze wamu nange mu magye. Okuva ku lunaku lwe wajja gye ndi n’okutuusa leero sirabanga bukyamu mu ggwe, naye abakulu tebakusiimye.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻAkisi ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, naʻa ke fai angatonu, pea ko e tau fetoutoumoliliuʻaki mo koe ʻi he tau, ʻoku lelei ʻi hoku ʻao: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate koe talu ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoʻo haʻu kiate au ʻo hoko mo e ʻaho ni: ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai te ke lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki.
7 Noolwekyo ddayo kaakano, ogende mirembe oleme okwemulugunyizisa abafuzi b’Abafirisuuti.”
Ko ia ke ke foki ni, pea ke ʻalu fiemālie pe, telia naʻa ke fakaʻita ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
8 Awo Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Naye nkoze ki? Nsonga ki gy’olabye etali nnungi mu muweereza wo okuva ku lunaku lwe natandika okukuweereza n’okutuusa leero? Kiki ekindobera okugenda okulwanyisa abalabe ba mukama wange kabaka?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAkisi, “Ka ko e hā ia kuo u fai? Pea ko e hā ia kuo ke ʻilo ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki lolotonga ʻe tau nonofo mo koe ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?”
9 Akisi n’amuddamu nti, “Mmanyi nga tolina nsonga n’emu mu maaso gange nga malayika wa Katonda, naye abaduumizi b’Abafirisuuti bagambye nti, ‘Tosaana kugenda naffe mu lutalo.’
Pea leaange ʻa ʻAkisi ʻo pehē kia Tevita, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke lelei ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua: ka koeʻuhi kuo ʻosi ʻae lea ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mo kitautolu ki he tau.’
10 Kaakano obudde bwe bunaakya onoogolokoka ggwe wamu n’abasajja ba mukama wo, be wazze nabo, mugende ku makya obudde nga bwakalaba.”
Pea ko ia ke ke tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki ʻaia kuo haʻu mo koe: pea ʻi hoʻomou tuʻu hake leva ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea maama ʻae ʻaho, pea mou ʻalu.”
11 Awo Dawudi ne basajja be ne bagolokoka ku makya nnyo ne baddayo mu nsi ey’Abafirisuuti, Abafirisuuti bo ne bambuka e Yezuleeri.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻi he pongipongi, ke foki atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Filisitia ki Sesilili.
