1 Hamuera 24
1 A, no te hokinga o Haora i te whai i nga Pirihitini, na ka korerotia te korero ki a ia, Nana, kei te koraha o Enekeri a Rawiri.
Kwasekusithi uSawuli esebuyile ekulandeleni amaFilisti, bambikela besithi: Khangela, uDavida usenkangala yeEngedi.
2 Katahi ka takiritia e Haora etahi tangata, e toru mano, he hunga whiriwhiri roto i a Iharaira katoa, a haere ana ki te rapu i a Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata ki nga kamaka o nga koati mohoao.
USawuli wasethatha amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezintathu akhethiweyo kuIsrayeli wonke, wayadinga uDavida labantu bakhe phezu kwamadwala amagogo.
3 A ka tae ki nga taiepa hipi i te ara, he ana hoki kei reira, a ka haere atu a Haora ki te uhi i ona waewae, heoi i nga wahi i roto rawa o te ana a Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata e noho ana.
Wasefika ezibayeni zezimvu endleleni, lapho okwakulobhalu khona; uSawuli wasengena ukwembesa inyawo zakhe; uDavida labantu bakhe babehlezi-ke enhlangothini zobhalu.
4 Na ka mea nga tangata a Rawiri ki a ia, Na, ko te ra tenei i mea ai a Ihowa ki a koe, Nana, ka hoatu e ahau tou hoariri ki tou ringa, a ka meatia e koe ki a ia ta tou hinengaro e pai ai. Katahi ka whakatika a Rawiri, a tapahia pukutia ana e ia te pito o te koroka o Haora.
Abantu bakaDavida basebesithi kuye: Khangela, usuku iNkosi ethi ngalo kuwe: Khangela, ngizanikela isitha sakho esandleni sakho, ukuthi wenze kuso njengokuhle emehlweni akho. UDavida wasesukuma, wasika ensitha umphetho wesembatho uSawuli ayelaso.
5 A muri iho ka whakawiri te ngakau o Rawiri i roto i a ia, mona i tapahi i te pito o te koroka o Haora.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho inhliziyo kaDavida yamtshaya, ngenxa yokuthi wayesike umphetho wesembatho uSawuli ayelaso.
6 Na ka mea ia ki ana tangata, Ma Ihowa ahau e arai kei meatia tenei mea ki toku ariki, ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai, kia totoro atu toku ringa ki a ia, ko ta Ihowa hoki ia i whakawahi ai.
Wasesithi ebantwini bakhe: Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukuthi ngenze linto enkosini yami, ogcotshiweyo weNkosi, ukwelulela isandla sami kuye, ngoba engogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
7 Ko nga kupu enei a Rawiri i haukotia ai e ia ana tangata, a kihai i tukua kia whakatika ki a Haora. Na whakatika ana a Haora i roto i te ana, a haere ana i tona ara.
UDavida wabanqanda abantu bakhe ngalawomazwi, kabavumelanga ukuthi bamvukele uSawuli. USawuli wasesukuma waphuma ebhalwini, wahamba endleleni.
8 Ka whakatika a Rawiri i muri, a puta ana ano i te ana, ka karanga i muri i a Haora, ka mea, E toku ariki, e te kingi. A, i te tirohanga o Haora ki muri i a ia, ka tuohu te mata o Rawiri, a piko ana ki te whenua.
Emva kwalokho uDavida laye wasukuma waphuma ebhalwini, wamemeza emva kukaSawuli esithi: Nkosi yami nkosi! Lapho uSawuli enyemukula, uDavida wakhothama ngobuso emhlabathini, wakhonza.
9 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, He aha koe i whakarongo ai ki nga kupu a te tangata ina mea, Kei te rapu a Rawiri i te he mou?
UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Ulalelelani amazwi abantu besithi: Khangela, uDavida udinga ukulinyazwa kwakho?
10 Na kua kite nei ou kanohi i tenei ra i ta Ihowa homaitanga i a koe inaianei ki toku ringa i roto i te ana; a i ki mai etahi kia patua koe; otiia i tohu toku kanohi i a koe; i mea hoki ahau, E kore toku ringa e totoro ki toku ariki; ko ta Ihowa i a i whakawahi ai.
Khangela, lamuhla amehlo akho abonile ukuthi iNkosi ibikunikele lamuhla esandleni sami ebhalwini; njalo besithi kangikubulale, kodwa ngakuhawukela, ngathi: Kangiyikwelulela isandla sami enkosini yami, ngoba ingogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
11 Titiro mai ano hoki, e toku papa, ae ra, tirohia mai te pito o tou koroka i toku ringa nei; ta te mea i ahau nei i tapahi ai i te pito o tou koroka, a kihai i patu i a koe, na ka mohio koe, ka kite, kahore he kino, he tutu ranei i toku ringa; ka hore ano oku hara ki a koe; heoi e whaia nei ahau e koe kia whakamatea.
Futhi-ke, baba, bona, yebo bona umphetho wesembatho sakho esandleni sami; ngoba ekusikeni kwami umphetho wesembatho sakho, lokuthi kangikubulalanga, yazi ubone ukuthi kakukho ububi lesiphambeko esandleni sami, njalo kangonanga kuwe, kanti wena uzingela umphefumulo wami ukuwuthatha.
12 Ma Ihowa e whakarite ta taua whakawa, me Ihowa ano e rapu he utu moku i a koe; ko toku ringa ia e kore e pa ki a koe.
INkosi kayahlulele phakathi kwami lawe, njalo iNkosi ingiphindiselele kuwe, kodwa isandla sami kasiyikumelana lawe.
13 E ki nei hoki te whakatauki onamata, no te hunga kino mai te kino; na e kore toku ringa e pa ki a koe.
Njengokutsho kwesaga sabendulo esithi: Kwababi kuvela okubi; kodwa isandla sami kasiyikumelana lawe.
14 He whai i a wai i puta mai ai te kingi o Iharaira? ko wai tenei te arumia nei e koe? he kuri mate, he puruhi.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli iphume ukulandela bani? Uxotshana lobani? Emva kwenja efileyo, emva kwendwebundwebu eyodwa!
15 Ma Ihowa e whakarongo, e whakarite ta taua whakawa, mana e titiro mai, e tohe taku tohe, e whakaora hoki ahau i roto i tou ringa.
Ngakho iNkosi kayibe ngumahluleli, yahlulele phakathi kwami lawe, ibone, ilumele udaba lwami, ingikhulule esandleni sakho.
16 A, i te mutunga o ta Rawiri korero i enei kupu ki a Haora, ka mea a Haora, Ko tou reo tena, e taku tama, e Rawiri? Na ka puaki nui te reo o Haora ka tangi.
Kwasekusithi uDavida eseqedile ukukhuluma lamazwi kuSawuli, uSawuli wathi: Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, ndodana yami, Davida? USawuli wasephakamisa ilizwi lakhe, wakhala inyembezi.
17 Na ka mea ia ki a Rawiri, Tika rawa koe i ahau; he pai hoki tau utu ki ahau, ko taku utu ia ki a koe he kino.
Wasesithi kuDavida: Ulungile kulami, ngoba wena ungivuze ngokuhle, kodwa mina ngikuvuze ngokubi.
18 Kua whakakitea mai nei hoki e koe inaianei te pai o tau mahi ki ahau: i ta Ihowa tukunga putanga hoki i ahau ki tou ringa, na kihai koe i patu i ahau.
Wena-ke utshengisile lamuhla ukuthi wenze okuhle ngami, ngoba lapho iNkosi ibinginikele esandleni sakho, kawungibulalanga.
19 Ki te tupono hoki te tangata ki tona hoariri, tera ranei ia e tukua paitia atu e ia kia haere? Na ma Ihowa e homai te pai ki a koe hei utu mo tau mahi ki ahau i tenei ra.
Ngoba nxa umuntu efica isitha sakhe, uzasiyekela sihambe ngendlela enhle yini? Ngakho iNkosi ikuvuze ngokuhle ngokwenze kimi lamuhla.
20 Na e mohio ana tenei ahau ko koe pu ano hei kingi, a ka pumau ki tou ringa te kingitanga o Iharaira.
Manje-ke, khangela, ngiyazi ukuthi uzakuba yinkosi isibili, lokuthi umbuso wakoIsrayeli uzaqiniswa esandleni sakho.
21 Na oatitia mai a Ihowa ki ahau e kore e hautopea atu e koe oku uri i muri i ahau, e kore ano hoki e huna e koe toku ingoa i roto i te whare o toku papa.
Ngakho khathesi funga kimi ngeNkosi ukuthi kawuyikuyiquma inzalo yami emva kwami, lokuthi kawuyikulicitsha ibizo lami endlini kababa.
22 Na oati ana a Rawiri ki a Haora, a haere ana a Haora ki tona whare; ko Rawiri ia ratou ko ana tangata i haere ki te pourewa.
UDavida wasefunga kuSawuli, loSawuli waya endlini yakhe, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe benyukela enqabeni.
