1 USamuyeli 29
1 AmaFilistiya aqoqela wonke amabutho awo e-Afekhi, kwathi u-Israyeli wamisa emthonjeni weJezerili.
Natonto’ o nte-Pilistio e Afeke eo ty valobohò’ iareo vaho nitobe marine i rano migoangoa’ Iezreeley o ana’ Israeleo.
2 Kwathi ababusi bamaFilistiya befola lamabutho abo angamakhulu lazinkulungwane, uDavida labantu bakhe babefola emuva lo-Akhishi.
Aa ie nandahatse o mpirai-lia’e zato naho arivoo o talèm-Pilistio, le nivoly i Akise t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
3 Umlawuli wamaFilistiya wabuza wathi, “AmaHebheru la-ke?” U-Akhishi waphendula wathi, “Kanti lo kasuDavida yini owayeyisikhulu sikaSawuli inkosi yako-Israyeli na? Usebe lami okudlula umnyaka, njalo kusukela mhla etshiya uSawuli kuze kube khathesi, angikaboni sici kuye.”
Le hoe o talèm-Pilistio; Manao inoñ’ atoy o nte-Evreo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akise amo talèm-Pilistio, Tsy i Davide hao i mpitoro’ i Saoley nimpiamako tamy andro zay, o taoñe rezaoy? Ie mboe tsy nahatreavako hila mifototse amy nivotraha’e amako pake henaneo.
4 Kodwa abalawuli bamaFilistiya bamthukuthelela bathi kuye, “Buyisela umuntu lo emuva, ukuze abuyele endaweni owamabela yona. Akumelanga aye empini lathi, hlezi asiphendukele lapho sekulwiwa. Angawuthola ngcono kanjani futhi umusa wenkosi yakhe kulokuthatha amakhanda abantu bakithi na?
F’ie niboseha’ o talèm-Pilistio le hoe ty asa’ o talèm-Pilisitio ama’e: Ampolio hibalike mb’amy toetse natolo’o azey mb’eo tsy hindre aman-tika an-kotakotak’ ao tsy mone hivalike ho rafelahy t’ie mialy, inoñe ty ho fifampilongoañe soa ama’e naho i talè’ey naho tsy o loha’ ondaty retiañeo?
5 Kasuyenalo yini uDavida abahlabela ngaye emigidweni yabo besithi: ‘USawuli ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida ubulele amatshumi ezinkulungwane zakhe’?”
Tsy ie hao i Davide nitakasie’ iereo an-tsinjake ty hoe: Zinama’ i Saole o arivo’eo naho i Davide o aleale’eo?
6 Ngakho u-Akhishi wabiza uDavida wathi kuye, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, ubuthembekile, njalo kade ngingathokoza ukuba lawe usebenze lami empini. Kusukela ngelanga owafika ngalo kimi kuze kube khathesi, angibonanga sici kuwe, kodwa ababusi kabakufuni.
Kinoi’ i Akise ama’e amy zao t’i Davide le nanao ama’e ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, vañon-drehe, le soa am-pahatreavako ty fiavota’o naho ty fimpolia’o amy valobohòkey pak’ amy ihe nindre amakoy; le tsy nahatrea hila ama’o iraho sikal’ amy andro nomba’o amako pake henaneo; f’ie tsy no’ o talèo.
7 Ngakho phenduka uhambe ngokuthula; ungenzi lutho oluzacunula ababusi bamaFilistiya.”
Aa le mimpolia, le mañaveloa am-panintsiñañe, tsy hanjehara’o o talèm-Pilistio.
8 UDavida wabuza wathi, “Kanti ngenzeni na? Kuyini okubi okubone encekwini yakho kusukela ngelanga engafika ngalo kuwe kuze kube khathesi na? Kungani ngingeze ngayakulwa lezitha zenkosi yami na?”
Aa hoe t’i Davide amy Akise, Ino o nanoekoo? Ino ty nioni’o amy mpitoro’oy amo hene andro nindrezako ama’o pak’ androanio, te tsy hionjonako hialy amo rafelahin-talèko mpanjakao?
9 U-Akhishi waphendula wathi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ube uthokozisa emehlweni ami njengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; kodwa-ke abalawuli bamaFilistiya sebethe, ‘Kafanelanga ukuhamba lathi empini.’
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akise amy Davide: Fantako t’ie soa am-pahatreavako, manahake ty anjelin’ Añahare; fe sinaotsi’ o talèm-Pilistio ty hoe t’ie tsy hitraok’ aman-tika hionjom-ban-kotakotake mb’eo.
10 Ngakho vuka ekuseni, kanye lezinceku zenkosi yakho ezeza lawe, lisuke ekuseni lapho kuqalisa ukukhanya.”
Aa le mañaleñaleña rekets’ o mpitoro’ i talè nindre ama’oo; le mañampitsoa, ie mazava, le miavota.
11 Ngakho uDavida labantu bakhe bavuka ekuseni kakhulu ukuba babuyele elizweni lamaFilistiya, kwathi amaFilistiya aya eJezerili.
Aa le niampitso t’i Davide, ie naho ondati’eo niavotse amy maraiñey, nimpoly mb’an-tane’ o nte-Pilistio mb’eo; vaho nionjomb’e Iezreele mb’eo o nte-Pilistio.
