1 Ngelinye ilanga uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wathi ejaheni elalithwala izikhali zakhe, “Woza, kasiye enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya ngakwelinye icele.” Kodwa kamtshelanga uyise.
Sie len ah Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun lal, “Fahsru, kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia layeno.” Tuh Jonathan el tiana fahk nu sel Saul, papa tumal.
2 USawuli wayehlala emaphethelweni eGibhiya ngaphansi kwesihlahla sephomegranathi eMigironi. Amadoda ayelaye ayengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha,
Saul el mutangan aktuktuk ye sak pomegranate soko in acn Migron, apkuran nu Gibeah. Akuran mwet mweun onfoko welul.

(Mwet tol se su us nuknuk se pangpang ephod in pacl sacn pa Ahijah, wen natul Ahitub su ma lel Ichabod. Ahitub el ma natul Phinehas natul Eli, mwet tol lun LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.) Mwet uh tiana etu lah Jonathan el som tari.
4 Eceleni ngalinye lomkhandlu ayehlose ukuwuchapha ukuze ayefika enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya kwakuleliwa; elinye lalithiwa yiBhozezi elinye liyiSene.
Ke Innek in Utyak nu Michmash, su Jonathan el enenu in ut we tuh elan sun acn mwet Philistia elos muta we, oasr eot ngarngar na lulap luo mutun acn sac — sie oan lac, ac sie oan lac. Sie eot inge pangpang Bozez, ac sie pangpang Seneh.
5 Elinye iliwa lalingasenyakatho ngokuya eMikhimashi, elinye lingasezansi ngokuya eGebha.
Sie eot ah oan nu epang, layen nu Michmash, ac sie oan nu eir, layen nu Geba.
6 UJonathani wathi ejaheni elalithwala izikhali zakhe, “Woza, siwelele enkambeni yalabayana abantu abangasokanga. Engxenye uThixo uzasimela, ngoba akulalutho olungavimbela uThixo ekukhululeni, loba kungabanengi kumbe abalutshwana.”
Na Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su welul ah, “Fahsru, kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet pegan ingo. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac kasrekut, na fin pwaye, wanginna ma ac ikolya Elan ase kutangla nu sesr, kut finne mwet pu.”
7 Umthwali wezikhali zakhe wathi, “Yenza konke olakho engqondweni yakho. Qhubeka, mina ngilawe ngenhliziyo langomphefumulo.”
Na mwet fusr sac fahk, “Ma na kom oru an, nga ac wi.”
8 UJonathani wasesithi, “Ngakho-ke, woza sikhuphuke siqonde kulabaya abantu senze ukuba basibone.
Ac Jonathan el fahk, “Wona. Kut fahsr sasla innek ah, mwet Philistia in liye kut.
9 Bangathi kithi, ‘Manini khonapho size sifike kini,’ sizahlala lapho esikhona singayi kubo.
Elos fin mu kut in tui ac soano elos in tuku nu yorosr, na kut ac tuina yen sac.
10 Kodwa bangathi, ‘Wozani kithi,’ sizakhwela siye phezulu ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisibonakaliso sethu sokuthi uThixo usebanikele ezandleni zethu.”
A elos fin fahk kut in som nu yorolos, na kut ac som, mweyen pa ingan akul se ma akkalemye lah LEUM GOD El ase tari kutangla nu sesr.”
11 Ngakho bobabili bazibonakalisa enkambeni yamabutho amaFilistiya. AmaFilistiya athi, “Khangelani, amaHebheru asehohoba ephuma emilindini abecatshe kuyo.”
Ouinge eltal sifacna oru mwet Philistia ah in liyaltalak. Na mwet Philistia elos fahk, “Liye, kutu mwet Hebrew pa otyak liki lufin wikwik selos ah!”
12 Amadoda ayesenkambeni yamabutho amemeza uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe athi, “Wozani kithi sizalifundisa isifundo.” Ngakho uJonathani wathi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe, “Khwela ungilandele; uThixo usebanikele esandleni sika-Israyeli.”
Elos pangnol Jonathan ac mwet fusr sac ac fahk, “Fanyak nu yorosr. Oasr ma kut ke fahk nu sumtal.” Na Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr sac, “Fahsr tukuk. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin Israel fin mwet inge.”
13 UJonathani wakhwela, esebenzisa izandla lezinyawo zakhe, lomthwali wezikhali zakhe ekhonapho ngemva kwakhe. AmaFilistiya awa phambi kukaJonathani, njalo umthwali wezikhali zakhe walandela ebulala abantu ngemva kwakhe.
Jonathan el kulakak ke paol ac intwel, ac mwet fusr sac fanyak tokol. Jonathan el sruokya mwet Philistia ekasr ac siseltali nu ten. Na mwet fusr sac onelosi.
14 Ngalokho kuhlasela kokuqala uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe babulala abantu abangamatshumi amabili endaweni eyayingaba yingxenye yendima.
Ke anwuk se meet inge, Jonathan ac mwet fusr sac uniya akuran mwet longoul ke acn na srisrik se, sahp tafun eka lupa.
15 Emva kwalokho ibutho lonke lathuthumela, ababesezihonqweni lababesegangeni, lalabo ababesezinkambeni zamabutho lamaqembu abahlaseli, iphansi lanyikinyeka. Kwakuyikuthuthumela okwakulethwe nguNkulunkulu.
Mwet Philistia nukewa in acn sac arulana sangeng. Mwet mweun su kasrusr meet oayapa mwet mweun su muta ke nien aktuktuk lalos uh elos kewa sangeng ac rarrar. Faclu kusrusrsrusr, ac oasr fohsak lulap.
16 Abalindi bakaSawuli eGibhiya koBhenjamini babona ibutho lisabalele ezinhlangothini zonke.
Mwet soan lal Saul su muta Gibeah in facl lal Benjamin elos liye ke mwet Philistia elos yuwot yume in fohsak lalos.
17 USawuli wasesithi ebantwini ababelaye, “Qoqani amabutho libone ukuthi ngubani ongekho.” Sebekwenzile, ababengekho kwakunguJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Oakla mwet mweun an ac suk lah su wangin.” Na elos oakla ac liye tuh na Jonathan ac mwet fusr se ma us mwe mweun lal pa wangin uh.
18 USawuli wasesithi ku-Ahija, “Letha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.” (Ngalesisikhathi lalikwabako-Israyeli.)
Saul el fahk nu sel Ahijah mwet tol, “Use ephod nu inge.” (In len sac Ahijah el us nuknuk sac ac fahsr ye mutun mwet Israel.)
19 Kwathi uSawuli esakhuluma lomphristi, ukuxokozela ezihonqweni zamaFilistiya kwakhula kakhulu kakhulukazi. Ngakho uSawuli wathi kumphristi, “Susa isandla sakho.”
Ke Saul el srakna kaskas nu sin mwet tol sac, fohsak lun mwet in nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia yokelik liki meet ah. Na Saul el fahk nu sel, “Wangin pacl in siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD!”
20 Emva kwalokho uSawuli labantu bakhe bonke babuthana basebesiya empini. Bafica amaFilistiya ephakathi kwesiyaluyalu esipheleleyo, egalelana ngezinkemba zawo.
Na Saul ac mwet lal nukewa elos fahsryang in mweun lain mwet Philistia, su sifacna forani ac aacnwuki sie sin sie ke sripen fohsak lalos.
21 AmaHebheru ayelamaFilistiya kuqala ehambe lawo ezihonqweni zawo abuyela kwabako-Israyeli ababeloSawuli loJonathani.
Kutu sin mwet Hebrew ma tuh wi mwet Philistia muta ke nien aktuktuk lalos, elos sifil forla ac welulla Saul ac Jonathan.
22 Kwathi lapho bonke abako-Israyeli ababecatshe elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilistiya ayesebaleka empini bangena, baxotshana lawo.
Oasr pac mwet Hebrew su wikwik in eol in Ephraim. Ke elos lohngak lah mwet Philistia elos kaingelik, na elos wi pac tuku ukwalos ac onelosla,
23 Uthixo wamhlenga kanjalo u-Israyeli ngalolosuku, njalo ukulwa kwaya ngale kweBhethi-Aveni.
fahla nwe alukela acn Bethaven. LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel ke len sac.
24 Ngalolosuku abantu bako-Israyeli babedanile ngoba uSawuli wayebophe abantu ngesifungo esithi, “Uqalekisiwe lowomuntu odla ukudla kungakahlwi, ngingakaphindiseli ezitheni zami!” Ngakho akukho butho elanambitha ukudla.
Mwet Israel elos tuh arulana masrinsralla ke len sac, ke sripen Saul el tuh fulahk nu selos ac fahk, “Mwet se fin kang sie mwe mongo misenge meet liki nga oru foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, fah selngawiyuk el.” Ouinge wangin mwet eis kutena mwe mongo len sac nufon.
25 Ibutho lonke langena ehlathini, lapho okwakuloluju phansi khona.
Na elos tuku sun insak uh, ac liye tuh arulana pukanten honey we.
26 Ekungeneni kwabo ehlathini, babona uluju lujuluka, kodwa kakho owaludlayo, ngoba babesesaba isifungo.
Sessesla lesak uh ke honey nwe tultul pac nu infohk uh, tusruk wangin mwet kang, mweyen elos nukewa sangeng ke kas in selnga lal Saul.
27 Kodwa uJonathani wayengezwanga ukuthi uyise wayebophe abantu ngesifungo, welula isiduku somqwayi ayewuphethe wawuhloma ohlangeni loluju. Waphakamisela isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, amehlo akhazimula.
A Jonathan el tuh tia lohng ke papa tumal el fahk kas in selnga lal nu sin mwet uh, na pa el asroela polosak soko ma oan inpaol, ac isongya nu ke sie nien honey ac mongo kac. In kitin pacl ah na el pulakunak ku in el.
28 Lapho-ke omunye wamabutho wamtshela wathi, “Uyihlo ubophe ibutho ngesifungo esinzima, esithi, ‘Uqalekisiwe lowomuntu odla ukudla lamhla!’ Yikho-nje abantu bemdambiyana.”
Na sie mukul el fahk nu sel, “Kut nufon arulana masrinsralla, mweyen papa tomom el fahk kas na upa nu sesr mu, ‘Mwet se fin kang sie mwe mongo misenge, fah selngawiyuk el.’”
29 UJonathani wathi, “Ubaba usedalele ilizwe uhlupho. Khangela ukuthi amehlo ami athe dlwe ekunambitheni kwami okuncane koluju lolu.
Jonathan el fahk, “Arulana koluk ma se papa tumuk el oru nu sin mwet lasr uh! Liye, nga sa na pulakunak ku in ikok ke nga kang honey ah!
30 Kade kuzakuba ngcono kakhulu aluba lamhla abantu bebedlile enye yempango abayithethe ezitheni zabo. Ukubulawa kwamaFilistiya kade kungayikuba kukhulu kulalokhu na?”
Fuka lupan woiya misenge, mwet uh funu kang mongo elos eisla ke elos kutangla mwet lokoalok lalos ah. Pisen mwet Philistia anwukla lukun pus liki na nge!”
31 Ngalolosuku, emva kokuba ama-Israyeli esebulele amaFilistiya kusukela eMikhimashi kusiyafika e-Ayijaloni, ayesediniwe.
In len sac mwet Israel elos kutangla mwet Philistia. Elos tuh mweunelos mutawauk in acn Michmash som nwe Aijalon. Toko, mwet Israel elos munasla ke sripen masrinsralla lalos.
32 Baphuthuma impango, kwathi sebethethe izimvu lenkomo kanye lamathole, bazibulala khonapho bazidla kanye legazi.
Na elos sulaklak som sruokya ma elos eisla sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos eis sheep ac cow, ac uniya yen se na elos sruokya we ah, ac kang ke srakna srahsra.
33 Omunye wasesithi kuSawuli, “Khangela abantu benza isono kuThixo ngokudla inyama elegazi.” Yena wathi, “Selephule ukuthenjwa. Giqelani ilitshe elikhulu ngapha khathesi nje.”
Fwackyang ma inge nu sel Saul, “Liye, mwet uh orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Elos kang ikwa ke srakna srahsra.” Saul el wowoyak ac fahk, “Kowos mwet kutasrik! Epusak sie eot lulap an nu ye mutuk in se inge.”
34 Wasesithi, “Yanini phakathi kwabantu libatshele lithi, ‘Lowo lalowo wenu kangilethele inkomo lezimvu zakhe azibulalele lapha azidle. Lingenzi isono kuThixo ngokudla inyama eseselegazi.’” Ngakho ngalobobusuku umuntu wonke waletha inkabi yakhe wayihlabela khonapho.
Na el sifilpa sapkin nu selos, “Kowos fahsrelik nu inmasrlon mwet uh ac fahk tuh elos nukewa in usani cow ac sheep natulos nu in se inge. Elos in uniya ac mongo inge. Elos in tia orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ke elos kang ikwa ke srakna srahsra.” Ouinge in fong sac, mwet nukewa elos use cow natulos ac uni in acn sac.
35 USawuli wasesakhela uThixo i-alithari; wayeqala ukwenza lokhu.
Na Saul el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD. Loang se omeet el etoak pa inge.
36 USawuli wathi, “Kasehleni silandele amaFilistiya ebusuku siwahlasele kuze kuse, singatshiyi lalinye lawo liphila.” Bathi, “Yenza lokho okubona kulungile kuwe.” Kodwa umphristi wathi, “Kasibuzeni uNkulunkulu lapha.”
Saul el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Lela kut in oatula ac mweuni mwet Philistia ke fong, eisla ma lalos nukewa nwe ke lenelik, ac onelosla nufon.” Ac mwet uh elos topuk ac fahk, “Oru oana ma kom nunku mu wo sum.” A mwet tol sac fahk nu sel, “Lela kut in siyuk kasru sin God meet.”
37 USawuli wabuza uNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngehle ngilandele amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela esandleni sika-Israyeli na?” Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamphendulanga ngalolosuku.
Na Saul el siyuk sin God, “Ya nga ac mweuni mwet Philistia? Ya kom ac ase kutangla nu sesr?” Tuh God El tiana topuk in len sac.
38 Ngakho uSawuli wathi, “Wozani lapha, lonke lina bakhokheli bebutho, sidinge ukuthi yisono bani esenziwe lamhla.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet uh, “Fahsru ac konauk lah ma koluk se su orekla misenge.
39 Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ohlenga u-Israyeli ephila, lanxa sisendodaneni yami uJonathani, kumele ife.” Kodwa akukho lamunye wabantu owatsho ilizwi.
Nga fulahk ye mutun LEUM GOD moul, su ase kutangla nu sin mwet Israel, lah mwet se su koneyukyak ke ma koluk se inge, ac fah anwuki, finne wen se nutik inge, Jonathan.” Na wanginna mwet kas.
40 USawuli wasesithi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, “Manini laphayana; mina lendodana yami uJonathani sizakuma ngapha.” Abantu baphendula bathi, “Yenza lokho okukhanya kulungile kuwe.”
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos nukewa tu inse ingo, ac nga Jonathan ac tu inse inge.” Na mwet uh fahk, “Oru oana ma kom nunku mu wo sum.”
41 Emva kwalokho uSawuli wakhuleka kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wathi, “Kungani ungayiphendulanga inceku lamuhla? Nxa isono sikimi kumbe kuJonathani indodana yami, inkatho kayibe yi-Urimi; kodwa nxa isono sisebantwini bako-Israyeli, inkatho kayibe yiThumimi.” UJonathani loSawuli badliwa yinkatho, abantu bagezeka.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel, “O LEUM GOD, efu kom tia topukyu misenge? LEUM GOD lun Israel, topukyu ke eot mutal inge. Ma koluk se inge fin ma luk ku ma lal Jonathan, kom akkalemye ke Urim. A ma koluk se inge fin ma lun mwet Israel, mwet lom, na kom akkalemye ke Thummim.” Na pa kalem tuh koluk sac ma lal Jonathan ac Saul, ac wangin mwatan mwet uh kac.
42 USawuli wasesithi, “Phosani inkatho phakathi kwami loJonathani indodana yami.” UJonathani wabanjwa.
Na Saul el fahk, “Akkalemye lah su koluk uh, nga ku Jonathan?” Na akkalemyeyuk tuh na Jonathan pa koluk uh.
43 USawuli wasesithi kuJonathani, “Ngitshela lokho okwenzileyo.” Ngakho uJonathani wamtshela wathi, “Nginambithe uluju nje kuphela ngesihloko somqwayi wami. Khathesi-ke sokumele ngife!”
Na Saul el siyuk sel Jonathan, “Mea kom oru nge?” Jonathan el topuk, “Nga kangla kutu srisrik honey ke polosak soko nga sruok. Nga inge — nga akola in misa.”
44 USawuli wathi, “UNkulunkulu kangijezise, kube nzima kakhulu, nxa ungafi, Jonathani.”
Ac Saul el fahk nu sel, “Lela God Elan uniyuwi, fin tia anwuki kom!”
45 Kodwa abantu bathi kuSawuli, “UJonathani kumele afe yini, yena olethe lokhukuhlengwa okukhulu ko-Israyeli na? Hatshi bo! Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, akulanwele lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela phansi, ngoba lokhu ukwenze lamhla ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu.” Ngakho abantu bamhlenga uJonathani, kasabulawanga.
A mwet uh fahk nu sel Saul, “Mea pwaye in anwuki Jonathan, mwet se su oru kutangla lulap nu sin Israel? Tia ku! Kut fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, tuh ac fah tia tuhlac soko aunsifal. Ma el oru misenge ma ke koko lun God.” Ouinge mwet uh molella Jonathan liki misa.
46 USawuli wayekela ukuxotshana lamaFilistiya, njalo amaFilistiya abuyela elizweni lakibo.
Tukun ma inge, Saul el tila ukwe mwet Philistia, na elos folokla nu yen selos.
47 Kwathi uSawuli esebusa ko-Israyeli, walwa lezitha zabo inxa zonke: iMowabi, ama-Amoni, i-Edomi, amakhosi aseZobha kanye lamaFilistiya. Loba kungaphi lapho aya khona, wababhuqa.
Tukun Saul el mutawauk in tokosra fin mwet Israel, el mweuni mwet lokoalok lal in acn nukewa: mwet Moab, mwet Ammon, mwet Edom, tokosra in acn Zobah, ac mwet Philistia. Acn nukewa el mweun we, el kutangla.
48 Walwa ngesibindi wehlula ama-Amaleki, wakhulula u-Israyeli ezandleni zalabo ababebaphangile.
El arulana pulaik ke mweun. Finne mwet Amalek, el kutangulosla pac. El molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet nukewa su lainulos.
49 Amadodana kaSawuli ayenguJonathani, lo-Ishivi kanye loMalikhi-Shuwa. Ibizo lendodakazi yakhe endala lalinguMerabi, elomcinyane linguMikhali.
Pa inge wen natul Saul: Jonathan, Ishvi, ac Malchishua. Acn se natul ma matu pa Merab, ac acn se natul ma srik uh pa Michal.
50 Ibizo lomkakhe lalingu-Ahinowama indodakazi ka-Ahimazi. Umlawuli webutho likaSawuli wayengu-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, uNeri wayengumfowabo kayise kaSawuli.

51 UKhishi uyise kaSawuli, loNeri uyise ka-Abhineri babengamadodana ka-Abhiyeli.
Papa tumal Saul pa Kish, ac papa tumal Abner pa Ner, ac eltal ma natul Abiel.
52 Kuzozonke insuku zikaSawuli kwakulempi enzima lamaFilistiya, njalo loba kungaphi uSawuli abona khona indoda elamandla kumbe elesibindi, wayingenisa ebuthweni lakhe.
Ke lusen moul lal Saul nufon, oasr mweun na yohk inmasrlon mwet Israel ac mwet Philistia. Ke ma inge, pacl nukewa Saul el konauk sie mwet pulaik ac ku, el ac eisalang tuh elan wi un mwet mweun lal.
