1 La ngamabutho ayeloDavida eZikhilagi, ngesikhathi engavunyelwa ukubonakala kuSawuli indodana kaKhishi (kwakungamaqhawe ayemhlomulele empini;
Ko kinautolu eni naʻe haʻu kia Tevita ki Sikilaki lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei fakafufū ia koeʻuhi ko Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi: pea naʻa nau kau mo e kau tangata toʻa, ko e kau tokoni ʻi he tau.
2 ayehlome ngemitshoko, ezingcitshi ekutshokeni lokutshaya ngezavutha loba ejikijela ngesokudla loba ngesenxele; ayeyizihlobo zikaSawuli engawesizwe sikaBhenjamini):
Ko honau mahafutau ʻae kaufana, pea naʻa nau faʻa ngāueʻaki honau nima toʻomataʻu mo honau toʻohema ʻi he lī ʻae maka mo e fanaʻi ʻae ngahau mei he kaufana, pea naʻa nau ʻoe kāinga ʻo Saula ʻia Penisimani.
3 U-Ahiyezeri induna yawo loJowashi amadodana kaShemaha owaseGibhiya; loJeziyeli loPhelethi amadodana ka-Azimavethi; loBherakha, loJehu umʼAnathothi,
Ko ia naʻe ʻeiki hake ko ʻAhiesa, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Soasi, ko e ongo foha ʻo Simaʻa ko e tangata Kipea; mo Sisieli, mo Peleti, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻAsimaveti; mo Pilaka, mo Sehu ko e tangata ʻAnatoti,
4 kanye lo-Ishimaya umGibhiyoni, indoda eyayilamandla amakhulu kwabangamatshumi amathathu, engumkhokheli wabangamatshumi amathathu, loJeremiya, loJahaziyeli, loJohanani, loJozabhadi umGederathi,
Mo Isimaia ko e tangata Kipione, ko e tangata toʻa ia ʻi he “Toko Tolungofulu,” pea naʻe pule ia ki he “Toko Tolungofulu;” mo Selemaia, mo Sehesili, mo Sohanani, mo Sosapati ko e tangata Kitala,
5 lo-Eluzayi, loJerimothi, loBheliya, loShemariya kanye loShefathiya umHarufi,
Mo Elusei, mo Selimoti, mo Pealia, mo Simalia, mo Sifatia ko e tangata Halufi,
6 lo-Elikhana, lo-Ishiya, lo-Azareli, loJowezeri loJashobheyamu amaKhora;
Mo ʻElikena, mo Sisia, mo ʻAsalili, mo Soesa, mo Sasopeami, ko e kau tangata Kola,
7 kanye loJowela loZebhadiya amadodana kaJerohamu waseGedori.
Mo Soela, mo Sepatia, ko e ongo foha ʻo Silohami ko e tangata Kitoa.
8 Abanye abakoGadi babalekela kuDavida enqabeni yakhe enkangala. Babengamabutho alezibindi, belungele ukulwa njalo bekwazi ukuphatha ihawu lomkhonto. Ubuso babo babungobezilwane, njalo belesiqubu njengamagogo ezintabeni.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae kakai Kata naʻe mavahe ʻakinautolu kia Tevita ke [nofo ]mo ia ʻi he potu mālohi ʻi he toafa, ko e kau tangata mālohi, mo e kau tangata ngalingali mo e fai ʻae tau, naʻa nau faʻa toʻo ʻae pā pea mo e tao, pea naʻe tatau ʻa honau mata mo e mata ʻoe fanga laione, pea naʻa nau veʻevave ʻo hangē ko e fanga tia ʻi he funga moʻunga;
9 U-Ezeri wayeyinduna, u-Obhadaya engumsekeli womlawuli, u-Eliyabi engowesithathu,
Ko e ʻuluaki ʻa Eseli, ko hono toko ua ʻa ʻOpataia, ko hono toko tolu ʻa ʻIliapi,
10 uMishimana engowesine, uJeremiya engowesihlanu,
Ko hono toko fā ʻa Misimani, ko hono toko nima ʻa Selemaia,
11 u-Athayi engowesithupha, u-Eliyeli engowesikhombisa,
Ko hono toko ono ʻa ʻAtai, ko hono toko fitu ʻa Ilieli.
12 uJohanani engowesificaminwembili, u-Elizabhadi engowesificamunwemunye,
Ko hono toko valu ʻa Sohanani, ko hono toko hiva ʻa Elisapati.
13 uJeremiya engumsekeli wetshumi kanye loMakhabhanayi owayengowetshumi lanye.
Ko hono toko hongofulu ʻa Selemaia, pea ko hono toko hongofulu ma taha ʻa Makipanai.
14 Amadoda akoGadi ayengabalawuli bamabutho, kuthi omncinyane wabo wayengamelana labalikhulu kodwa omkhulu wabo engamelana labayinkulungwane.
Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Kata, naʻe ʻeiki pule ki he kautau: ko ia naʻe siʻi hifo ʻiate kinautolu naʻe pule ki he toko teau, pea ko ia naʻe lahi hake naʻe pule ki he toko afe.
15 Yiwo la amadoda achapha uJodani ngenyanga yakuqala umfula ugcwele uphuphuma emakhunjini awo wonke, yibo njalo abaxotsha bonke ababehlala ezihotsheni, empumalanga kanye lasentshonalanga.
Ko kinautolu eni naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he Soatani ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, lolotonga ʻa ʻene malofa atu ʻae vai ki hono kau vai kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ki he feituʻu hahake, pea ki he lulunga.
16 Amanye amadoda akoBhenjamini lamanye ayevela koJuda lawo alandela uDavida khonale enqabeni yakhe.
Pea naʻe haʻu foki ha niʻihi mei he fānau ʻa Penisimani mo Siuta ki he kolo mālohi kia Tevita.
17 UDavida waphuma ukuba ayewahlangabeza wathi kuwo: “Nxa lingilandela ngokuthula, lizongiphathisa njengabangane, ngizimisele ukuhlanganyela kanye lani. Kodwa nxa lidinga ukunginikela ezitheni zami, mina ngimsulwa, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho kakubone lokho, alijezise.”
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau kuo mou omi fakamelino pe kiate au ke tokoni kiate au, ʻe kautaha ʻa hoku loto mo kimoutolu: ka ko eni, kapau kuo mou haʻu ke lavakiʻi au ki hoku ngaahi fili, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fai fakamālohi ʻi hoku nima, ke ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai, pea ne valoki ia.”
18 Ngakho uMoya wasesehlela ku-Amasayi, umlawuli wabangamatshumi amaThathu, wathi: “Singabakho thina, wena Davida! Sikanye lawe wena ndodana kaJese! Impumelelo, impumelelo kuwe, njalo impumelelo kulabo abaphathisana lawe! Ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uzakusiza.” Ngakho uDavida wabamukela wabenza abakhokheli bamaviyo amabutho ayehlasela.
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae Laumālie kia ʻAmasai ʻaia naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau, [pea naʻa ne pehē], “ʻOku ʻoʻou [ʻakimautolu], ʻe Tevita, pea ʻoku [mau ]kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo Sese: ke melino, ke melino pe koe, pea ke melino ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni kiate koe; he ʻoku tokoni ʻe ho ʻOtua kiate koe. Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻeikitau ki he kongakau.
19 Amanye amadoda akoManase abalekela kuDavida ekuhambeni kwakhe lamaFilistiya esiyahlasela uSawuli. (Yena kanye lamabutho akhe kasazange ancedise amaFilistiya, ngoba ngemva kokubuzisisana, ababusi bawo bathi kaxotshwe. Bathi bona: “Uyingozi kithi, ngoba angasiphendukela abuyele enkosini yakhe uSawuli.”)
Pea naʻe tō mai kia Tevita ha niʻihi meia Manase, ʻi heʻene omi fakataha mo e kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa Saula: ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻenau tokoni: he naʻe loto ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia ke ne ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE kau atu ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ko Saula, pea [ʻe tuʻutāmaki ai ]ʻa hotau ʻulu ʻotautolu.”
20 UDavida wathi esiya eZikhilagi, nanka amadoda abaleka koManase amlandela: ngu-Adina, loJozabhadi, loJediyeli, loMikhayeli, loJozabhadi, lo-Elihu kanye loZilethayi ababengabalawuli benkulungwane koManase.
Lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ki Sikilaki, naʻe hoko mai kiate ia meia Manase, ʻa ʻAtina, mo Sosapati, mo Sitieli, mo Mikaeli, mo Sosapati, mo Ilihu, mo Silitei, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule [ʻakinautolu ]ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Manase.
21 Bancedisa uDavida ekulweni lamaviyo abahlaseli, ngoba bonke babengamabutho alezibindi, njalo basebengabalawuli phakathi kwamabutho akhe.
Pea naʻa nau tokoni ʻa Tevita ʻaki ha kautau: he ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ʻi he kautau.
22 Insuku zonke, ukusa kwamalanga, kwakutheleka abantu bezoncedisa uDavida, waze waba lebutho elikhulu, njengebutho likaNkulunkulu.
He ko e kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai [ʻae kakai ]kia Tevita ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tokoni kiate ia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo fuʻu tokolahi ʻa ʻene kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau ʻoe ʻOtua.
23 Nanka amanani amadoda ayehlomele impi eza kuDavida eHebhroni ezomncedisa ukuthatha umbuso kaSawuli, njengokutsho kukaThixo:
Pea ko hono lau eni ʻoe ngaahi kongakau naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau, mo nau omi kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ke liliu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Saula kiate ia, ʻo tatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova.
24 amadoda ayevela koJuda ehlome ngamahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane eziyisithupha lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili ehlomele ukulwa impi;
Ko e fānau ʻa Siuta naʻe fua ʻae pā mo e tao ko e toko ono afe mo e valungeau, naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau.
25 abakaSimiyoni, amabutho ayelungele ukuhlasela babezinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lekhulu,
ʻOe fānau ʻa Simione, ko e kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa ki he tau, ko e toko fitu afe mo e toko teau.
26 amadoda akoLevi ayezinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu ayisithupha,
ʻOe fānau ʻa Livai ko e toko fā afe mo e onongeau.
27 kubalwa loJehoyada, umkhokheli wabendlu ka-Aroni babezinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisikhombisa zamadoda
Pea ko Sihoiata ko ia naʻe tataki ʻae kakai ʻElone, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko tolu afe ma fitungeau:
28 kanye loZadokhi, ibutho elaliseselijaha lilesibindi, lilezikhulu zendlu yakwabo ezingamatshumi amabili lambili;
Mo Satoki, ko e tangata talavou naʻe mālohi mo toʻa lahi, pea mei he fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻe toko uofulu ma ua.
29 amadoda akoBhenjamini, labakibo kaSawuli babezinkulungwane ezintathu, ababesele bethembekile kuSawuli kuze kufike lesisikhathi yibo ababebanengi kulelonani;
Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ko e kāinga ʻo Saula, ko e toko tolu afe: he naʻe fai ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia ʻe honau tokolahi, ʻae tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Saula.
30 amadoda ako-Efrayimi, amadoda ayelezibindi, edumile ezizwaneni zawo, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili,
Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ko e toko ua mano mo e valungeau, ko e kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa, ko e kau ongoongo ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
31 amadoda ayevela kungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ekhethwe ngamabizo awo ukuba azobeka uDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi, ayezinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili;
Pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase [naʻe haʻu ]ʻae tokotaha mano mo e valungeau, ʻaia naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke haʻu ʻo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
32 amadoda ayevela ko-Isakhari, ayezwisisa umumo walesosikhathi njalo esazi ukuthi u-Israyeli kumele enzeni. Kwakuzinduna ezingamakhulu amabili kanye lezihlobo zazo ezazingaphansi kwazo;
Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsaka, ʻakinautolu naʻe poto ʻi he ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe kuonga, pea ke ʻilo ʻaia naʻe totonu ke fai ʻe ʻIsileli; ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻiate kinautolu ko e toko uangeau; pea naʻe tali ʻenau fekau ʻe honau kāinga kotoa pē.
33 amadoda ayevela koZebhuluni, amabutho ayezingwazi empini, ngezikhali zemihlobo etshiyeneyo, eza ukuzancedisa uDavida ngokuzinikela okungalakuthandabuza, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu;
ʻOe fānau ʻa Sepuloni, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau, mo poto ʻi he tau, ʻi he ngaahi mahafutau kotoa pē, ko e toko nima mano, ʻaia naʻe faʻa tutuʻu fakataha lelei ʻi he tau: naʻe ʻikai te nau lotolotoua.
34 amadoda ayevela koNafithali kwakuyizikhulu eziyinkulungwane eyodwa, kanye lamadoda ayephethe amahawu lemikhonto ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa;
Pea ʻo Nafitali, ko e ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻe toko taha afe, pea naʻe kau mo kinautolu ʻae toko tolu mano mo e toko fitu afe naʻe toʻo ʻae pā mo e tao.
35 amadoda ayevela koDani, ezimisele ukulwa empini, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili lamakhulu ayisithupha;
Pea ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Tani naʻe poto ʻi he tau, ko e toko ua mano, ma valu afe mo e onongeau.
36 amadoda ayevela ko-Asheri, amabutho ayevele ekwejayele ukulwa empini njalo ezimisele ukulwa, ayezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane;
Pea ʻo ʻAseli, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ki he tau, mo poto ʻi he tau, ko e toko fā mano.
37 njalo ngempumalanga yeJodani, amadoda akoRubheni, koGadi lakungxenye yesizwana sikaManase, ayehlome ngemihlobohlobo yezikhali, ayezinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili.
Pea ʻi he kau vai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani, ʻoe kau Lupeni, mo e kau Kata, pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko e tokotaha kilu mo e ua mano, naʻe toʻo ʻae ngaahi mahafutau kehekehe ʻi he tau.
38 Bonke laba babengamabutho azinikeleyo ukungena laloba yisiphi isigaba. Ngamabutho aya eHebhroni ezimisele ukufika abeke uDavida esihlalweni sobukhosi abe yinkosi ka-Israyeli. Abanye bonke abako-Israyeli babengqondonye befisa ukwethesa uDavida ubukhosi.
Ko e kau tangata faʻa tau eni kotoa pē, naʻe faʻa tutuʻu lelei, pea naʻa nau omi kia Tevita ʻi he loto moʻoni ki Hepeloni, ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea ko hono toe foki [ʻoe kakai ]ʻi ʻIsileli naʻe loto taha pe ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
39 Wonke lamadoda athatha insuku ezintathu eloDavida, esidla njalo enatha, njengoba izimuli zawo zaziwalungisele umphako.
Pea naʻa nau ʻi ai mo Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu: he naʻe fai ʻa honau tali ʻe honau ngaahi kāinga.
40 Konke labomakhelwane babo, ababevela kude khonale ku-Isakhari, loZebhuluni lakuNafithali beza bethwele ukudla ngabobabhemi, amakamela, imbongolo langenkabi. Kwakulefulawa enengi, amakhekhe omkhiwane, amakhekhe erezini, iwayini, amafutha, inkomo lezimvu, ngoba kwakulokujabula ko-Israyeli.
Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai naʻe vāofi mo kinautolu, kia ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Nafitali, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae mā kuo fakaheka ki he fanga ʻasi, pea ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ki he fanga miuli, pea ki he fanga pulu, pea [naʻe ʻomi ]mo e mangisi, ko e mahoaʻa, mo e ngaahi fiki fakamōmoa, mo e ngaahi fuhinga kālepi, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga sipi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻae fakafiefia ʻi ʻIsileli.
