1 USamuyeli 14
1 Ngelinye ilanga uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wathi ejaheni elalithwala izikhali zakhe, “Woza, kasiye enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya ngakwelinye icele.” Kodwa kamtshelanga uyise.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu tukuʻuta na.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ia ki heʻene tamai.
2 USawuli wayehlala emaphethelweni eGibhiya ngaphansi kwesihlahla sephomegranathi eMigironi. Amadoda ayelaye ayengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha,
Pea naʻe tatali ʻa Saula ʻi he potu ngataʻanga ʻo Kipea ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e pomikanite ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Mikiloni: pea ko e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau nai;
3 phakathi kwawo kulo-Ahija, owayegqoke isigqoko samahlombe. Wayeyindodana yomfowabo ka-Ikhabhodi u-Ahithubi indodana kaFinehasi, indodana ka-Eli umphristi kaThixo eShilo. Kakho owayesazi ukuthi uJonathani wayehambile.
Pea ko ʻAhia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, ko e tokoua ʻo Ikapote, ko e foha ʻo Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo Ilai, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi Sailo, ʻoku ne ʻai ʻae ʻefoti. Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kakai kuo ʻalu ʻa Sonatane.
4 Eceleni ngalinye lomkhandlu ayehlose ukuwuchapha ukuze ayefika enkambeni yebutho lamaFilistiya kwakuleliwa; elinye lalithiwa yiBhozezi elinye liyiSene.
Pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻaluʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fie ʻalu ai ʻa Sonatane ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia, naʻe ai ʻae maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha, mo e maka māsila ʻi he potu ʻe taha: pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe taha ko Posese, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe taha ko Sene.
5 Elinye iliwa lalingasenyakatho ngokuya eMikhimashi, elinye lingasezansi ngokuya eGebha.
Ko e potu ʻoe taha naʻe hangatonu atu ki Mikimasi ki he tokelau, pea tonga ʻae taha ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatane ki he talavou naʻe toʻo ʻene mahafutau, “Haʻu ke ta ō atu ki he kolo tau ʻae kau taʻekamu ni: ʻe pehē nai, ʻe ngāue ʻa Sihova maʻa kitaua: he ʻoku ʻikai faingataʻa kia Sihova ke fakamoʻui ʻi he tokolahi, pe ʻi he tokosiʻi.”
7 Umthwali wezikhali zakhe wathi, “Yenza konke olakho engqondweni yakho. Qhubeka, mina ngilawe ngenhliziyo langomphefumulo.”
Pea naʻa pehē ʻae toʻo mahafutau kiate ia, “Fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto: tafoki koe; vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.”
8 UJonathani wasesithi, “Ngakho-ke, woza sikhuphuke siqonde kulabaya abantu senze ukuba basibone.
Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Vakai, te ta ō atu ki he kau tangata, pea ke ta fakahā ʻakitaua kiate kinautolu.
9 Bangathi kithi, ‘Manini khonapho size sifike kini,’ sizahlala lapho esikhona singayi kubo.
Kapau tenau pehē mai kiate kitaua, Mo tatali ke ʻoua ke mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoua; pea te ta tuʻumaʻu ʻi hota potu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ta ō hake kiate kinautolu.
10 Kodwa bangathi, ‘Wozani kithi,’ sizakhwela siye phezulu ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisibonakaliso sethu sokuthi uThixo usebanikele ezandleni zethu.”
Pea kapau tenau lea pehē, Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu; pea ta ō hake: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hota nima: pea ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kitaua.”
11 Ngakho bobabili bazibonakalisa enkambeni yamabutho amaFilistiya. AmaFilistiya athi, “Khangelani, amaHebheru asehohoba ephuma emilindini abecatshe kuyo.”
Pea naʻa na fakahā fakatouʻosi pe ʻakinaua ki he kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Filisitia, “Vakai ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻae kakai Hepelū mei he ngaahi luo naʻa nau toitoi ʻi ai ʻakinautolu.”
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.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo tau kia Sonatane mo ʻene toʻo mahafutau, ʻo pehē, “Mo ō hake kiate kimautolu, pea te mau fakahā ha meʻa kiate kimoua.” Pea pehē ʻa Sonatane ki hono hoa tau, “ʻAlu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate au: he kuo tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli.”
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.
Pea naʻe kaka hake ʻa Sonatane ʻo piki ʻaki hono nima, mo hono vaʻe, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa hono hoa tau: pea naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sonatane; pea naʻe angimui ʻa hono hoa tau ʻo fai ʻae tāmate foki.
14 Ngalokho kuhlasela kokuqala uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe babulala abantu abangamatshumi amabili endaweni eyayingaba yingxenye yendima.
Pea ko e fuofua tā naʻe fai ʻe Sonatane mo hono hoa tau, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu nai naʻe tō ʻi he potu kelekele, ko e vaeua ʻoe ʻeka ʻe taha, ʻaia ʻe faʻa keli ʻe he tauluaʻi pulu ʻe taha.
15 Emva kwalokho ibutho lonke lathuthumela, ababesezihonqweni lababesegangeni, lalabo ababesezinkambeni zamabutho lamaqembu abahlaseli, iphansi lanyikinyeka. Kwakuyikuthuthumela okwakulethwe nguNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe tetetete lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ngoue, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē: ko e kolo tau mo e kau maumau naʻa nau tetetete foki, pea ngalulu mo e kelekele: ko ia ko e ngalulu lahi ʻaupito ia.
16 Abalindi bakaSawuli eGibhiya koBhenjamini babona ibutho lisabalele ezinhlangothini zonke.
Pea naʻe sio atu ʻe he kau tangata leʻo ʻa Saula ʻi Kipea ʻo Penisimani; pea vakai, naʻe matukutuku ʻae kakai ʻo mole, pea naʻa nau ʻalu pe mo fetāʻaki pe ʻakinautolu.
17 USawuli wasesithi ebantwini ababelaye, “Qoqani amabutho libone ukuthi ngubani ongekho.” Sebekwenzile, ababengekho kwakunguJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Saula ki he kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ko eni, Mou lau, pea vakai pe ko hai kuo ʻalu meiate kitautolu.” Pea hili ʻenau lau, vakai naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ʻa Sonatane mo hono hoa tau.
18 USawuli wasesithi ku-Ahija, “Letha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.” (Ngalesisikhathi lalikwabako-Israyeli.)
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia ʻAhia, “ʻOmi ki heni ʻae puha [ʻoe fuakava ]ʻoe ʻOtua.” He naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae puha [tapu ]ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
19 Kwathi uSawuli esakhuluma lomphristi, ukuxokozela ezihonqweni zamaFilistiya kwakhula kakhulu kakhulukazi. Ngakho uSawuli wathi kumphristi, “Susa isandla sakho.”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he kei alea ʻa Saula mo e taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu pe ʻae longoaʻa ʻi he tau ʻae kakai Filisitia: pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo lahi, pea pehē ʻa Saula ki he taulaʻeiki, “Taʻofi ho nima.”
20 Emva kwalokho uSawuli labantu bakhe bonke babuthana basebesiya empini. Bafica amaFilistiya ephakathi kwesiyaluyalu esipheleleyo, egalelana ngezinkemba zawo.
Pea ko Saula mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻonau hoko atu ki he tau: pea vakai, ko e heletā ʻae tangata kotoa pē kuo hiki hake ki hono tokoua, pea naʻe ai ʻae maveuveu lahi ʻaupito.
21 AmaHebheru ayelamaFilistiya kuqala ehambe lawo ezihonqweni zawo abuyela kwabako-Israyeli ababeloSawuli loJonathani.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kau Hepelū naʻe muʻaki nofo ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake mo kinautolu ki he ʻapitanga mei he ngaahi potu fonua takatakai, naʻa nau liliu foki ʻo kau ki he kakai ʻIsileli naʻe ʻia Saula mo Sonatane.
22 Kwathi lapho bonke abako-Israyeli ababecatshe elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilistiya ayesebaleka empini bangena, baxotshana lawo.
Pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa nau fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻi heʻenau ongoʻi kuo hola ʻae kakai Filisitia, naʻe tuli mālohi ʻekinautolu foki kiate kinautolu ʻi he tau.
23 Uthixo wamhlenga kanjalo u-Israyeli ngalolosuku, njalo ukulwa kwaya ngale kweBhethi-Aveni.
Ko ia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tau ʻo hoko ki Pete-ʻAveni.
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.
Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: he naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae tapu ʻa Saula ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻe kai ha meʻa he ʻaho ni kaeʻoua ke efiafi, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi ʻae totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili.” Ko ia naʻe ʻikai kamata ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai ha meʻakai.
25 Ibutho lonke langena ehlathini, lapho okwakuloluju phansi khona.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ki he potu vao ʻakauʻia; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hone ʻi he funga kelekele.
26 Ekungeneni kwabo ehlathini, babona uluju lujuluka, kodwa kakho owaludlayo, ngoba babesesaba isifungo.
Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae kakai ki he vao ʻakau, naʻe toʻi ʻae honi; ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; he naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai ki he fuakava.
27 Kodwa uJonathani wayengezwanga ukuthi uyise wayebophe abantu ngesifungo, welula isiduku somqwayi ayewuphethe wawuhloma ohlangeni loluju. Waphakamisela isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, amehlo akhazimula.
Ka ko Sonatane naʻe ʻikai fanongo ia ki he fekau fakapapau ʻa ʻene tamai ki he kakai: ko ia naʻa ne ʻai ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hono nima, ʻo ʻai ia ki hono toʻi ʻoe honi, pea ʻai hono nima ki hono ngutu; pea naʻe māmangia ai hono mata.
28 Lapho-ke omunye wamabutho wamtshela wathi, “Uyihlo ubophe ibutho ngesifungo esinzima, esithi, ‘Uqalekisiwe lowomuntu odla ukudla lamhla!’ Yikho-nje abantu bemdambiyana.”
Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe lea fakapapau ʻa hoʻo tamai mo fuakava ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia te ne kai meʻakai he ʻaho ni.’” Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kakai.
29 UJonathani wathi, “Ubaba usedalele ilizwe uhlupho. Khangela ukuthi amehlo ami athe dlwe ekunambitheni kwami okuncane koluju lolu.
Pea pehē ai ʻa Sonatane, “Kuo fai fakamamahi ʻa ʻeku tamai ki he fonua: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, vakai, ki hono fakamaama ki hoku mata, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kamata ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻi he hone ni.
30 Kade kuzakuba ngcono kakhulu aluba lamhla abantu bebedlile enye yempango abayithethe ezitheni zabo. Ukubulawa kwamaFilistiya kade kungayikuba kukhulu kulalokhu na?”
Kae huanoa, ʻo ka ne kai lahi ʻe he kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he vete ʻa honau fili kuo nau ʻilo? Ka ne pehē, ʻikai kuo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻae teʻia kuo hoko ki he kakai Filisitia?”
31 Ngalolosuku, emva kokuba ama-Israyeli esebulele amaFilistiya kusukela eMikhimashi kusiyafika e-Ayijaloni, ayesediniwe.
Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei Mikimasi ʻo aʻu ki ʻAsaloni: pea naʻe vaivai lahi ʻae kakai.
32 Baphuthuma impango, kwathi sebethethe izimvu lenkomo kanye lamathole, bazibulala khonapho bazidla kanye legazi.
Pea naʻe ʻoho atu ʻae kakai ki he vete, ʻo toʻo ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kosi, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻi he kelekele: pea naʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai mo e toto.
33 Omunye wasesithi kuSawuli, “Khangela abantu benza isono kuThixo ngokudla inyama elegazi.” Yena wathi, “Selephule ukuthenjwa. Giqelani ilitshe elikhulu ngapha khathesi nje.”
Pea naʻa nau tala kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fai angahala ʻae kakai kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau kai mo e toto.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mou fai angahala: filifilihi mai ha maka lahi kiate au he ʻaho ni.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, Mou vahevahe ʻakimoutolu ʻo ʻalu ki he kakai, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻomi kiate au taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene pulu, mo e tangata taki taha ʻene sipi, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻi heni, pea kai; pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala kia Sihova ʻi hoʻomou kai mo e toto.” Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he pō ko ia ʻa ʻene pulu pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
35 USawuli wasesakhela uThixo i-alithari; wayeqala ukwenza lokhu.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Saula ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova; pea ko e ʻuluaki feilaulauʻanga ia naʻa ne langa kia Sihova.
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.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ke tau ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli poʻuli ki he kakai Filisitia ʻo maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea ʻoua naʻa tau tuku ke toe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.” Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ni ki he ʻOtua.”
37 USawuli wabuza uNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngehle ngilandele amaFilistiya na? Uzawanikela esandleni sika-Israyeli na?” Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamphendulanga ngalolosuku.
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Saula ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻE lelei ʻeku ʻalu hifo ʻo tuli ki he kau Filisitia?” Pea te ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli? Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
38 Ngakho uSawuli wathi, “Wozani lapha, lonke lina bakhokheli bebutho, sidinge ukuthi yisono bani esenziwe lamhla.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Mou ʻunuʻunu mai ki heni ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai: pea mou ʻilo ʻo vakai pe kuo [tau ]angahala ʻi he ha nai he ʻaho ni.
39 Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ohlenga u-Israyeli ephila, lanxa sisendodaneni yami uJonathani, kumele ife.” Kodwa akukho lamunye wabantu owatsho ilizwi.
Koeʻuhi, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli, kapau ʻoku ʻi hoku foha ko Sonatane ko e moʻoni ʻe mate ia.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata ʻi he kakai kotoa pē naʻe lea kiate ia.
40 USawuli wasesithi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, “Manini laphayana; mina lendodana yami uJonathani sizakuma ngapha.” Abantu baphendula bathi, “Yenza lokho okukhanya kulungile kuwe.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Ke ʻi he potu ʻe taha kimoutolu, pea ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane te ma ʻi he potu ʻe taha.” Pea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kia Saula, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Fakahā ʻae tonuhia. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Saula mo Sonatane, ka naʻe hao ʻae kakai”
42 USawuli wasesithi, “Phosani inkatho phakathi kwami loJonathani indodana yami.” UJonathani wabanjwa.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Fai ʻae talotalo koeʻuhi ko au mo hoku foha ko Sonatane. Pea naʻe moʻua ʻa Sonatane.”
43 USawuli wasesithi kuJonathani, “Ngitshela lokho okwenzileyo.” Ngakho uJonathani wamtshela wathi, “Nginambithe uluju nje kuphela ngesihloko somqwayi wami. Khathesi-ke sokumele ngife!”
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kia Sonatane, “Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ia kuo ke fai.” Pea talaange ʻe Sonatane kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻaku kamata pe ki he hone siʻi ʻaki ʻae muʻa tokotoko naʻe ʻi hoku nima, pea vakai, te u mate ai.”
44 USawuli wathi, “UNkulunkulu kangijezise, kube nzima kakhulu, nxa ungafi, Jonathani.”
Pea pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au mo lahi hake foki: he ko e moʻoni te ke mate Sonatane.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Saula, “ʻE mate ʻa Sonatane, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae fakamoʻui lahi pehē ni ʻi ʻIsileli? Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua: hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova,” ʻe ʻikai tō ki he kelekele hano tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha; he naʻe ngāue ia mo e ʻOtua he ʻaho ni. Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Sonatane ʻe he kakai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia.
46 USawuli wayekela ukuxotshana lamaFilistiya, njalo amaFilistiya abuyela elizweni lakibo.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Saula ʻene tuli ʻae kau Filisitia; pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau Filisitia ki honau potu ʻonautolu.
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.
Ko ia naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Saula ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli, pea tauʻi hono ngaahi fili ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ki ʻItomi, pea ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sopa, pea ki he kakai Filisitia: pea ko e potu naʻa ne tafoki ʻo ʻalu ki ai naʻa ne fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
48 Walwa ngesibindi wehlula ama-Amaleki, wakhulula u-Israyeli ezandleni zalabo ababebaphangile.
Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻae tau, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmaleki, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
49 Amadodana kaSawuli ayenguJonathani, lo-Ishivi kanye loMalikhi-Shuwa. Ibizo lendodakazi yakhe endala lalinguMerabi, elomcinyane linguMikhali.
Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula, ko Sonatane, mo Isui, mo Malikisua: pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ongo ʻofefine, ko Melapi ko e ʻuluaki ia, mo Mikali ko e kimui ia:
50 Ibizo lomkakhe lalingu-Ahinowama indodakazi ka-Ahimazi. Umlawuli webutho likaSawuli wayengu-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, uNeri wayengumfowabo kayise kaSawuli.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo Saula ko ʻAhinoami, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAhimeasi: pea ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻeiki ʻo ʻene tau ko ʻApina, ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e tuʻasina ʻo Saula.
51 UKhishi uyise kaSawuli, loNeri uyise ka-Abhineri babengamadodana ka-Abhiyeli.
Pea ko e tamai ʻa Saula ʻa Kisi; pea ko Nea ko e tamai ʻa ʻApina, ko e foha ia ʻo ʻApieli.
52 Kuzozonke insuku zikaSawuli kwakulempi enzima lamaFilistiya, njalo loba kungaphi uSawuli abona khona indoda elamandla kumbe elesibindi, wayingenisa ebuthweni lakhe.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau fakamamahi ki he kakai Filisitia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Saula: pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki ha tangata mālohi, mo ha tangata toʻa, naʻa ne fili ia maʻana.
