1 USamuyeli 25
1 Ngalesosikhathi uSamuyeli wafa, kwathi u-Israyeli wonke wabuthana wamlilela; njalo bamngcwaba emzini wakhe eRama. Lapho-ke uDavida wehlela eNkangala yasePharani.
A MAKE iho la o Samuela; a hoakoakoaia'e la ka Iseraela a pau, a uwe iho la ia ia, a kanu aku la ia ia iloko o kona hale ma Rama. Ku ae la o Davida, a iho ilalo ma ka waonahele o Parana.
2 Umuntu othile waseMawoni, owayelempahla khonale eKhameli, wayenothe kakhulu. Wayelenkulungwane yembuzi lezinkulungwane ezintathu zezimvu ayezigunda eKhameli.
A o kekahi kauaka ma Maona, a ma Karemela kona waiwai; a he kanaka waiwai loa ia, akolu ana tausani hipa, hookahi tausani kao; a ako iho la ia i kana poe hipa ma Karemela.
3 Ibizo lakhe lalinguNabhali lebizo lomkakhe lingu-Abhigeli. Wayengumfazi okhaliphileyo njalo emuhle, kodwa umkakhe, umʼKhalebi, wayelenhliziyo embi kwabanye abantu.
O Nabala ka inoa o ua kanaka la, a o Abigaila ka inoa o kana wahine: a he wahine akamai i ka noonoo, a he maikai kona helehelena: aka, o ke kanaka, he huhu ia, a he hewa kana hana ana: no ko Kaleba ohana ia.
4 UDavida esenkangala wezwa ukuthi uNabhali wayegunda izimvu.
A lohe ae la o Davida ma ka waonahele e ako aua o Nabala i kana poe hipa.
5 Ngakho wathuma amajaha alitshumi wathi kuwo, “Hambani kuNabhali eKhameli limbingelele ngebizo lami.
Hoouna aku la o Davida i na kanaka ui he umi, a, i aku la o Davida i na kanaka ui, E pii ae oukou ma Karemela, a hele io Nabala la, a e aloha aku ia ia ma kuu inoa.
6 Lithi kuye, ‘Impilo ende kuwe! Impilo enhle kanye labendlu yakho! Impilo enhle kukho konke okungokwakho!
Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia ia e ola ana, Aloha oe, aloha ko ka hale, a aloha hoi kou mea a pau loa.
7 Khathesi ngizwa kuthiwa yisikhathi sokugunda izimvu. Lapho abelusi bakho babelathi, kasibaphathanga kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke beseKhameli akukho lutho olwacatshayo.
A ua lohe iho nei au, aia no ia oe na mea ako huluhipa: o kou poe kahuhipa me makou, aole makou i hana ino aku ia lakou, aole i lilo kekahi o ko lakou mea i ka manawa a pau a lakou i noho ai ma Karemela.
8 Buza izinceku zakho zizakutshela. Ngakho ake ube lomusa ezinsizweni zami, njengoba size ngesikhathi somkhosi. Ake unike izinceku zakho lendodana yakho uDavida loba kuyini ongabatholela khona.’”
E ninau aku oe i kou poe kanaka ui, a e hai mai lakou ia oe. No ia mea, e loaa auanei i na kanaka ui ke aloha imua o kou maka: no ka mea, ua hiki mai makou i ka la maikai: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ka mea i loaa i kou lima e haawi na kau poe kauwa, a na kau keiki, na Davida.
9 Kwathi abantu bakaDavida sebefikile, bamnika uNabhali umbiko lo ngebizo likaDavida. Emva kwalokho balinda.
A hiki aku la ka poe kanaka ui o Davida, hai aku la lakou ia Nabala ia mau olelo a pau ma ka inoa o Davida, a hooki iho la.
10 UNabhali waphendula izinceku zikaDavida wathi, “Ungubani uDavida lowo? Ingubani indodana kaJese leyo na? Ngalezizinsuku izinceku ezinengi ziyawabalekela amakhosi azo.
Olelo mai la o Nabala i na kauwa a Davida, i mai la, Owai la o Davida, owai hoi ke keiki a Iese? I neia manawa, ua nui na kauwa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i mahuka mai ke alo aku o kona haku.
11 Kungani kumele ngithathe isinkwa sami lamanzi, lenyama engiyihlabele abagundi bami, nginike abantu abavela lapho engingazi khona na?”
E lawe anei au i kuu berena, a me ko'u wai, a me ka'u holoholona a'u i kalua'i na ka poe ako huluhipa, a e haawi aku na na kanaka a'u i ike ole ai i ko lakou wahi e hele mai nei?
12 Abantu bakaDavida baphenduka babuyela emuva. Sebefikile babika amazwi wonke.
A huli ae la na kanaka ui o Davida ma ko lakou ala, a hoi aku la a hiki, a hai aku la lakou ia ia ia mau olelo a pau.
13 UDavida wasesithi ebantwini bakhe, “Hlomani ngezinkemba zenu!” Ngakho bahloma ngezinkemba zabo, loDavida wahloma ngeyakhe. Abantu ababengaba ngamakhulu amane bahamba loDavida, kwathi abangamakhulu amabili basala lempahla.
I aku la o Davida i kona poe kanaka, E hawele oukou o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana pahikaua. A hawele iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana pahikaua; a hawele iho hoi o Davida i kana pahikaua; aha haneri kanaka paha i hahai mahope o Davida; alua haneri i noho ma na ukana.
14 Omunye wezinceku watshela umkaNabhali u-Abhigeli wathi, “UDavida wathuma izithunywa esenkangala ukuzabingelela inkosi yethu, kodwa yona yazithethisa.
A hai aku kekahi o ka poe kanaka ui ia Abigaila, ka wahine a Nabala, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua hoouna mai o Davida i na elele mai ka waonahele mai e aloha mai i ko makou haku, a lele ino aku oia ia lakou.
15 Ikanti abantu laba thina basiphatha kuhle. Kabazange basiphathe kubi, njalo isikhathi sonke sisegangeni phansi kwabo akulalutho olwacatshayo.
Aka, ua hana pono mai ia poe kanaka ia makou, aole i hana eha mai ia makou, aole i lilo kekahi mea o makou i na la a pau a makou i noho pu ai me lakou ma ke kula.
16 Emini lebusuku babengumduli osihonqolozelayo isikhathi sonke siselusela izimvu zethu phansi kwabo.
He pa pohaku lakou no makou ma ka po a me ke ao, i na la a pau a makou i noho pu ai me lakou, e malama ana i ka poe hipa.
17 Kucabange ubone ongakwenza ngoba ingozi iyalenga ngaphezu kwenkosi yethu labendlu yayo bonke. Ingumuntu omubi kangaka okungelamuntu ongakhuluma layo.”
Ano hoi e noonoo oe a ike i kau mea e hana aku ai; no ka mea, ua manao hewa ia mai no to makou haku, a no kona ohua a pau; no ka mea, he keiki ia na Beliala, aole e pono ke olelo aku ia ia.
18 U-Abhigeli kasachithanga sikhathi. Wathatha izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, izikhumba ezimbili zewayini, izimvu ezinhlanu ezihlinziweyo, amagokoko amahlanu amabele akhanzingiweyo, amakhekhe alikhulu amagrebisi awonyisiweyo, lamakhulu amabili amakhekhe omkhiwa okhanyiweyo, wakuthwalisa obabhemi.
Alaila lalelale ae la o Abigaila, a lawe aku la i elua haneri pai berena, a i elua hue waina, a me na hipa elima i hoomakaukauia, a me na ipu hua palaoa elima i pulehuia, a i hookahi haneri paihuawaina maloo, a i elua haneri pai huafiku maloo, a kau ae la maluna o na hoki.
19 Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Hambani phambili; ngizalilandela.” Kodwa umkakhe uNabhali kamtshelanga.
I aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, E hele e oukou mamua o'u, aia hoi, e hahai ana au mahope o oukou. Aole ia i hai aku ia Nabala kana kane.
20 Wathi esiza egade ubabhemi wakhe phakathi kodonga lwentaba, wabona uDavida labantu bakhe besehla beqonde kuye, wasebahlangabeza.
A i kona holo ana maluna o ka hoki a hiki ma kahi malu o ka mauna, aia hoi o Davida a me kona poe kanaka e iho mai ana e halawai me ia, a halawai aku la ia me lakou.
21 UDavida wayesanda kuthi, “Kakusizanga lutho konke ukugcina kwami impahla yomuntu lo enkangala ukuze kungabi lalutho lwakhe olulahlekayo. Ungibhadale okuhle ngokubi.
Ua olelo iho la o Davida, He oiaio, ua malama make hewa au i na mea a pau a keia kanaka ma ka waonahele, aole i lilo kekahi o kana mau mea a pau; a ua hoihoi mai ia i ka hewa ia'u no ka pono.
22 Sengathi uNkulunkulu angaphatha uDavida kabuhlungu nxa ekuseni ngitshiya indoda eyodwa iphila kubo bonke abangabakhe!”
Pela hoi, a e oi aku hoi ka ke Akua e hana aku ai i ka poe enemi o Davida, ke waiho au a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao i kekahi o kona poe kane.
23 U-Abhigeli esebone uDavida, wehla ngokuphangisa kubabhemi wakhe wakhothamela phansi phambi kukaDavida ubuso bakhe buthe mbo emhlabathini.
A ike aku la o Abigaila ia Davida, lele koke iho la ia mai luna mai o ka hold, a haule ilalo ke alo imua o Davida, a kulou iho la ma ka honua.
24 Wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wathi, “Nkosi yami, insolo kayibe phezu kwami ngedwa. Ake uyivumele incekukazi yakho ikhulume lawe; zwana lokho incekukazi yakho efuna ukukutsho.
A haule iho la ma kona wawae, i aku la, Maluna o'u, e kuu haku, maluna o'u ka hewa: a ke noi aku nei au, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e olelo aku maloko o kou pepeiao, a e hoolohe mai i ka olelo a kau kauwawahine.
25 Sengathi inkosi yami ingayekela ukumnaka umuntu omubi lowana uNabhali. Ufuze ibizo lakhe, ibizo lakhe lithi Sithutha, njalo ubuwula buhamba laye. Kodwa-ke mina, incekukazi yakho, angizibonanga insizwa inkosi yami ezithumileyo.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai manao nui kuu haku i keia kanaka hewa, ia Nabala: no ka mea, e like me ke ano o kona inoa, pela hoi ia, o Nabala kona inoa, a me ia no ka lapuwale: aka, aole i ike kau kauwawahine i ka poe kanaka ui au i hoouna mai ai.
26 Khathesi njengoba uThixo ekugcinile, nkosi yami, ekuchithekeni kwegazi lasekuphindiseleni ngezandla zakho, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ekhona lanjengoba lawe uphila, sengathi izitha zakho labo bonke abafuna ukwenza okubi kuwe nkosi yami bangaba njengoNabhali.
Ano hoi, e kuu haku, ma ke ola o Iehova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, no ke keakea ana o Iehova i kou hele mai e hookahe i ke koko, a me ka hoopai ana nou me kou lima iho, ano hoi, e lilo ana kou poe enemi, a me ka poe imi hewa i kuu haku, e like me Nabala.
27 Njalo isipho lesi, incekukazi yakho esilethe enkosini yami, kasiphiwe insizwa ezikulandelayo.
Ano hoi, o keia manawalea a kau kauwawahine i lawe mai nei na kuu haku, e haawiia'ku ia na ka poe kanaka ui e hele ana ma ka wawae o kuu haku.
28 Ake uthethelele ukona kwencekukazi yakho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu impela uzakwenzela inkosi yami inzalo yamakhosi engapheliyo, ngoba ilwela izimpi zikaThixo. Akungabi lokona okutholwa kuwe kukho konke ukuphila kwakho.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala ae oe i ka hala o kau kauwawahine: no ka mea, e hana io mai no o Iehova i hale mau no kuu haku; no ke kaua ana a kuu haku i na kaua o Iehova, aole i loaa ka hewa iloko ou i kou mau la.
29 Lanxa omunye exotshana lawe ukuba akubulale, ukuphila kwenkosi yami, uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzakubophela kuqine elixheni labaphilayo. Kodwa ukuphila kwezitha zakho uzakuphosela khatshana kungathi kuphuma esikhwameni sesavutha.
Aka, ua ku mai kekahi kanaka e hahai ia oe, a e imi i kou ola: aka, e nakii pu ia auanei ke ola o kuu haku iloko o ka pua o ka poe ola me Iehova kou Akua; a o ke ola o kou poe enemi, nana no lakou e maa aku mai loko ae o ka maa.
30 Lapho uThixo eseyenzele inkosi yami zonke izinto ezinhle azithembisayo mayelana layo, njalo eseyibekile ukuba ngumkhokheli wako-Israyeli,
A i ka manawa e hana mai ai o Iehova no kuu haku, e like me ka pono a pau ana i olelo mai ai nou, a e hoolilo ia oe i alii no ka Iseraela;
31 inkosi yami kayiyikuba lesazela somthwalo ohloniphisayo sokuchithwa kwegazi esingaswelekiyo loba esokuphindisela. Njalo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eselethele inkosi yami ukuphumelela, uyikhumbule incekukazi yakho.”
Alaila aole e lilo keia i mea kaumaha nou, a me ka hihia no ka naau o kuu haku, o kou hookahe ole ana i ke koko hala ole, a o ka hoopai ole ana o kuu haku nona: a i hana pono mai o Iehova i kuu haku, alaila e hoomanao oe i kau kauwawahine.
32 UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhigeli, “Kadunyiswe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okuthumileyo lamhla ukuzabonana lami.
Olelo mai la o Davida ia Abigaila, E hoomaikaiia ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i kona hoouna ana mai ia oe i keia la e halawai me au:
33 Sengathi ungabusiswa ngenxa yokwahlulela kwakho okuhle lokuvimbela kwakho ekuchitheni igazi lamhla kanye lasekuphindiseleni kwami ngezandla zami.
E hoomaikaiia kou naauao, a e hoomaikaiia oe i kou keakea ana mai ia'u i ka hele ana mai e hookahe i ke koko, a me ka hoopai ana no'u me kuu lima iho.
34 Ngoba, ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ekhona, yena ongivimbele ekwenzeni okubi kuwe, aluba kawufikanga masinyane ukuzabonana lami, akukho lamunye owesilisa ongokaNabhali obezasala ephila ekudabukeni kokusa.”
He oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, nana i keakea mai ia'u e hana hewa aku ia oe, ina paha aole oe i hele koke mai e halawai me au, ina aole koe ia Nabala a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao kekahi o kona poe kane.
35 Emva kwalokho uDavida wamukela esandleni sika-Abhigeli lokho ayemlethele khona wasesithi, “Buyela ekhaya ngokuthula. Ngiwazwile amazwi akho ngasivuma isicelo sakho.”
A lawe aku la o Davida mai kona lima aku i ka mea ana i lawe mai ai nana, a i aku la ia ia ia, E pii pomaikai oe ma kou hale; aia hoi, ua hoolohe aku au i kou leo, a ua maliu aku au ia oe.
36 U-Abhigeli esebuyele kuNabhali, wayesendlini eledili elinjengelenkosi. Wayejabula njalo edakwe kakhulu. Ngakho u-Abhigeli kamtshelanga lutho kwaze kwasa.
A hoi aku la o Abigaila ia Nabala; aia hoi, he ahaaina kana ma kona hale e like me ka ahaaina alii; a ua olioli ka naau o Nabala iloko ona, no ka mea, ua ona loa: no ia mea, aole ia i hai iki aku ia ia, a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao.
37 Kwathi ekuseni, uNabhali engasadakwanga, umkakhe wamtshela zonke lezizinto, watshaywa luvalo woma qha.
A ao ae la, i ka wa i hala aku ka waina mawaho o Nabala, a hai aku la kana wahine ia ia i keia mau mea, make iho la kona naau iloko ona, a like ia me ka pohaku.
38 Emva kwensuku ezazingaba litshumi, uThixo wamtshaya uNabhali wafa.
A he anahulu paha la ma ia hope mai, pepehi mai o Iehova ia Nabala, a make iho la ia.
39 Kwathi uDavida esizwa ukuthi uNabhali wayefile, wathi, “Kabongwe uThixo, yena osekele injongo yami yokumelana loNabhali ngenxa yokungeyisa. Uvimbele inceku yakhe ekwenzeni okubi njalo wehlisela uNabhali izenzo zakhe ezimbi phezu kwelakhe ikhanda.” Emva kwalokho uDavida wathumela ilizwi ku-Abhigeli emcela ukuba abe ngumkakhe.
A lohe ae la o Davida, ua make o Nabala, i iho la ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, nana i hoopai aku maluna o Nabala i kuu hoinoia mai, a nana i keakea mai i kana kauwa i ole e hana ino; a ua hoihoi aku o Iehova i ka hewa o Nabala maluna o kona poo. A hoouna aku la o Davida, a kamailio me Abigaila e lawe ia ia i wahine nana.
40 Izinceku zakhe zaya eKhameli zathi ku-Abhigeli, “UDavida usithume kuwe ukuba sizekuthatha ukuze ube ngumkakhe.”
A hiki aku la na kauwa a Davida io Abigaila la ma Karemela, olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ua hoouna mai o Davida ia makou iou la e lawe ia oe i wahine nana.
41 U-Abhigeli wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wathi, “Nansi incekukazi yakho, ilungele ukukusebenzela lokugezisa inyawo zezinceku zenkosi yami.”
Ku ae la ia, a kulou iho la me kona maka ma ka honua, i aku la, Aia hoi, e hooliloia kau kauwawahine i kauwa e holoi ai i na wawae o na kauwa a kuu haku.
42 U-Abhigeli waphanga wagada ubabhemi, ephelekezelwa yizisebenzikazi zakhe ezinhlanu, wahamba lezithunywa zikaDavida wasesiba ngumkakhe.
A ku koke ae la o Abigaila, a hooholo maluna o ka hoki me kona mau wahine elima i hele mahope ona; a hahai aku la ia mahope o na elele a Davida, a lilo ia i wahine nana.
43 UDavida wayethethe njalo u-Ahinowama waseJezerili, bobabili-ke baba ngomkakhe.
Lawe hoi o Davida ia Ahinoama no Iezereela, a lilo laua elua i mau wahine nana.
44 Kodwa uSawuli, indodakazi yakhe uMikhali, umkaDavida, wayeseyinike uPhalithiyeli indodana kaLayishi, owayengowaseGalimi.
Ua haawi aku o Saula ia Mikala kana kaikamahine, ka wahine a Davida, i wahine na Paleti ke keiki a Laisa no Galima.
