1 USamuyeli 22
1 UDavida wasuka eGathi wabalekela ebhalwini lwase-Adulami. Kwathi abafowabo labendlu kayise sebekuzwile, baya kuye khonale.
Devit ni hote hmuen koehoi tâco takhai teh Adullam talung koevah a yawng. A hmaunawngha hoi a na pa imthungnaw ni a thai awh nah ahni koe a cei awh.
2 Bonke labo ababelosizi loba ababelemilandu kumbe ababelensolo babuthana kuye, wasesiba ngumkhokheli wabo. Abantu ababelaye babengaba zinkulungwane ezine.
Ka rucat e tami, lai ka tawn e, lungthin reithai poung hoi kakhangnaw ahni koe a kamkhueng awh teh, Devit teh ahnimouh kahrawikung lah ao. Tami 400 tabang hoi rei ao awh.
3 Esuka lapho uDavida waya eMizipha kwelaseMowabi wathi enkosini ye-Mowabi, “Ungabavumela yini ubaba lomama ukuba bazehlala lawe ngize ngazi uNkulunkulu azangenzela khona na?”
Devit teh hote hmuen koehoi, Moab ram Mizpeh kho lah a cei teh, Moab siangpahrang koe Cathut ni kaimouh hanlah bangmaw a sak han tie kai ni ka panue nahan atueng totouh, ka manu ka napanaw nang koevah o nahan kâ na poe lah atipouh.
4 Ngakho wabatshiya enkosini yaseMowabi njalo bahlala layo sonke isikhathi uDavida esenqabeni.
Ahnimouh ni Moab e hmalah vah a thokhai awh, Devit rapanim thung ao nathung ahni koe ao van.
5 Kodwa umphrofethi uGadi wathi kuDavida, “Ungahlali enqabeni. Yana elizweni lakoJuda.” Ngakho uDavida wasuka waya ehlathini laseHerethi.
Profet Gad ni Devit koe rapainim thung awm hanh. Tâcawt nateh Judah ram lah cet atipouh. Hottelah, Devit ni a thaw teh, Hereth ratu thung a kâen.
6 Ngalesosikhathi uSawuli wezwa ukuthi uDavida labantu bakhe babebonakele. Njalo uSawuli, ephethe umkhonto ngesandla, wayehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somthamarisiki phezu koqaqa eGibhiya, lazozonke izikhulu zakhe zimi zimhanqile.
Sawl ni Devit hoi a sannaw hah a hmu awh tie a thai. Sawl teh Gibeah e ram vah kho vah bengkeng thing rahim a tahroe hoi a tahung teh, a tengpam vah a sannaw a kangdue sak.
7 USawuli wathi kuzo, “Lalelani bantu bakoBhenjamini! Kambe indodana kaJese izalipha lonke amasimu lezivini na? Kambe lonke izalenza libe ngabalawuli bezinkulungwane labalawuli bamakhulu na?
Sawl ni a tengpam e a sannaw koevah nangmanaw Benjamin taminaw thai awh haw. Jesi capa ni law hoi misur takhanaw na poe han namaw, nangmouh pueng ransa 1,000 touh ukkung hoi 100 touh ukkung lah na ta awh han namaw.
8 Kungenxa yalokho lonke selicebe okubi ngami na? Kakho ongitshelayo nxa indodana yami isenza isivumelwano lendodana kaJese. Kakho owenu okhathazekayo ngami loba angitshele ukuthi indodana yami itshotshozela izinceku zami ukuba zingicathamele, njengalokhu ekwenzayo lamhla.”
Nangmouh abuemlahoi kai koe lah taran na thaw awh maw. Ka capa teh Jesi e capa hoi lawk a kam roi nah, kai koe buet touh ni hai na dei pouh hoeh. Sahnin e patetlah ka thaw katawknaw ni na pawp hanlah ka capa ni kai na taran e kai koe api buet touh ni hai na dei awh hoeh. Kai hanelah api buet touh hai na lungmathout awh hoeh atipouh.
9 Kodwa uDoyegi, umʼEdomi, owayemi lezikhulu zikaSawuli wathi, “Mina ngibone indodana kaJese isiya ku-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi eNobhi.
Sawl e a thaw katawknaw hoi rei ka kang dout e Edom miphun dueng ni a dei e teh, Jesi capa teh Nob kho Ahitub e capa vaihma Ahimelek koe a tho e kai ni ka hmu.
10 U-Ahimeleki umbuzele kuThixo; waphinda wamnika ukudla lenkemba kaGoliyathi umFilistiya.”
Ahni ni BAWIPA koe pouknae a hei pouh, ca hanelah a poe teh Filistin tami Goliath e tahloi hai a poe telah ati.
11 Lapho-ke inkosi yathumela ilizwi lokubiza umphristi u-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi labo bonke abendlu kayise, ababengabaphristi eNobhi, yikho bonke baya enkosini.
Siangpahrang ni Ahitub capa vaihma Ahimelek hoi a na pa im thung Nob kho e vaihma pueng a kaw sak teh, siangpahrang koe koung a tho awh.
12 USawuli wasesithi, “Khathesi-ke lalela, ndodana ka-Ahithubi.” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, nkosi yami.”
Sawl ni, nang Ahitub capa thai haw telah ati, ahni ni apa hivah ka o atipouh.
13 USawuli wasesithi kuye, “Kungani licebe okubi ngami, wena lendodana kaJese, wayinika isinkwa lenkemba njalo wayibuzela kuNkulunkulu, okwenze yangihlamukela njalo yangicathamela, njengalokhu ekwenzayo lamhla na?”
Sawl ni ahni koe sahnin vah ahmoun e boiboe lah kai na taran teh, na ka pawm hanelah vaiyei hoi tahloi hah na poe teh, BAWIPA koe pouknae hei pouh hane bang dawk hah namaw nang hoi Jesi capa ni na taran roi vaw telah ati.
14 U-Ahimeleki waphendula wathi, “Ngubani kuzozonke izinceku zakho othembeke njengoDavida, umkhwenyana wenkosi, induna yabakulindayo njalo lohlonitshwa kakhulu endlini yakho na?
Ahimelek ni siangpahrang lawk a pathung teh, siangpahrang cava, pouknae na hei ka tang e, na imthung dawk bari han kamcu Devit patetlah yuemkamcu e na sannaw dawk apimaw kaawm.
15 Ngalelolanga ngangiqala ukumbuzela kuNkulunkulu na? Hatshi impela! Inkosi kayingethesi inceku yakho icala loba omunye wabendlu kayise, ngoba inceku yakho kayazi lutho lakancane ngodaba lonke lolu.”
Sahnin Cathut ka bawknae kamtawngnae maw, nahoeh. Siangpahrang ni teh a san thoseh apa imthungnaw thoseh, na pakung rumram hanh naseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, na sannaw ni hete kong heh banghai ka panuek hoeh telah ati.
16 Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Ngeqiniso uzakufa, Ahimeleki, wena labo bonke abendlu kayihlo.”
Siangpahrang ni Ahimelek nama hoi na pa imthungnaw hoi na due awh roeroe han telah atipouh.
17 Inkosi yasilaya abalindi ababephansi kwayo yathi, “Phendukani libulale abaphristi bakaThixo ngoba labo basekele uDavida. Babekwazi ukuthi uyabaleka, kodwa kabangitshelanga.” Kodwa izikhulu zenkosi zazingafuni ukuphakamisa izandla ukuba zigalele abaphristi bakaThixo.
Siangpahrang ni a teng kangdout e a ransa koevah, kamlang sin awh nateh, BAWIPA e vaihma hah thet awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit koe lah kampang teh a kâran tie a panue awh ei kai koe dei awh hoeh telah ati, hatei a sannaw ni BAWIPA e vaihma hem hanelah a kut pho ngai hoeh.
18 Ngakho inkosi yalaya uDoyegi yathi, “Phenduka ugalele abaphristi!” UDoyegi umʼEdomi waphenduka wabagongoda. Mhlalokho wabulala abantu abangamakhulu ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu ababegqoka izembatho zemahlombe ezelineni.
Siangpahrang ni Doeg koevah, nangmouh ni kamlang sin nateh, vaihma hah thet telah ati. Edom teh Doeg ni a kamlang sin teh a hem. Hot hnin navah vaihma angkidung ka kho e tami 85 a thei awh.
19 Wabuye wahlasela iNobhi ngenkemba, umuzi wabaphristi, lamadoda ayo kanye labesifazane, abantwana bayo lensane, lenkomo zayo, obabhemi kanye lezimvu.
Nob vaihma kho teh tahloi hoi a tuk awh teh napui tongpa camo sanu ka net lahun totouh maito thoseh, la thoseh, tu thoseh tahloi hoi be a thei.
20 Kodwa u-Abhiyathari, indodana ka-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahithubi, waphunyuka wabaleka wayamanyana loDavida.
Ahitub capa Ahimelek capanaw thung e tami buet touh a min Abiathar teh a hlout. Devit koevah a yawng.
21 Watshela uDavida ukuthi uSawuli wayebulele abaphristi bakaThixo.
Abiathar ni Sawl ni BAWIPA vaihmanaw a thei e konglam Devit koe a dei pouh.
22 UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhiyathari, “Ngaloluyana usuku, lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayekhona, ngakwazi ukuthi uzamtshela ngempela uSawuli. Ngilecala lokufa kwabendlu kayihlo bonke.
Devit ni Abiathar koevah Edom tami Doeg haw vah kaawm e roeroe ni Sawl koe a dei pouh han tie ka panue tangcoung e doeh toe. Na pa imthungnaw teh kai kecu dawk kadout a e doeh.
23 Hlala lami; ungesabi; umuntu ofuna ukukubulala lami futhi ufuna ukungibulala. Uvikelekile nxa ulami.”
Kai koe awm nateh, taket hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh kai thei han ka kâcai e ni nang hai thei han a kâcai van han. Hatei kai koe na lungmawng han telah ati.
