1 USamuyeli 30
1 UDavida labantu bakhe bafika eZikhilagi ngelanga lesithathu. Ama-Amaleki ayehlasele iNegebi leZikhilagi. Ayehlasele iZikhilagi ayitshisa,
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi na andũ ake maakinyire Zikilagi mũthenya wa gatatũ. Nao Amaleki magĩkorwo nĩ matharĩkĩire Negevu na Zikilagi. Nĩmahũrĩte Zikilagi na makarĩcina,
2 njalo ayethumbe abesifazane labo bonke ababekuyo, abatsha labadala. Kawabulalanga lamunye wabo, kodwa ahamba labo ekuhambeni kwawo.
na nĩmatahĩte andũ-a-nja arĩa othe maarĩ kuo, andũ ethĩ o na arĩa akũrũ. Matiigana kũũraga mũndũ o na ũmwe, no nĩmamakuuire magĩthiĩ nao.
3 Kwathi uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikhilagi, bayifica iqothulwe ngomlilo njalo omkabo lamadodana kanye lamadodakazi abo bethunjiwe.
Rĩrĩa Daudi na andũ ake mookire Zikilagi, maakorire rĩcinĩtwo na mwaki, na atumia ao na ariũ ao na airĩtu ao magatahwo.
4 Ngakho uDavida labantu bakhe bakhala kakhulu baze baphela amandla okukhala.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire nginya makĩaga hinya wa kũrĩra rĩngĩ.
5 Abafazi bakaDavida bobabili babethunjiwe, u-Ahinowama waseJezerili lo-Abhigeli, umfelokazi kaNabhali waseKhameli.
Atumia a Daudi eerĩ nĩmatahĩtwo, Ahinoamu wa Jezireeli, na Abigaili ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa ndigwa wa Nabali kuuma Karimeli.
6 UDavida wayesekhathazeke kakhulu ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, lowo lalowo efuthelene emoyeni ngenxa yamadodana akhe lamadodakazi. Kodwa uDavida wathola amandla kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Daudi akĩnyariirĩka mũno nĩ ũndũ andũ nĩmaciirĩire kũmũhũũra na mahiga; o mũndũ arĩ na marũrũ ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa aanake na airĩtu ake. No Daudi akĩgĩa na hinya thĩinĩ wa Jehova Ngai wake.
7 UDavida wasesithi ku-Abhiyatha umphristi, indodana ka-Ahimeleki, “Ngilethela isembatho samahlombe.” U-Abhiyathari wasiletha kuye,
Daudi agĩcooka akĩĩra Abiatharu, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, mũrũ wa Ahimeleku atĩrĩ, “Ndeehera ebodi.” Nake Abiatharu akĩmũrehera ebodi,
8 uDavida wasebuza kuThixo esithi, “Ngililandele yini lelixuku elihlaselayo? Ngizalifica na?” Waphendula wathi, “Lilandele. Uzalifica impela njalo uzaphumelela ekuhlengeni.”
nake Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nyingatithie mbũtũ ĩyo ĩtũtharĩkĩire? Nĩngũmĩkinyĩra?” Akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mĩrũmĩrĩre, hatarĩ nganja nĩũkũmĩkinyĩra na nĩũkũhota gũcookia kĩrĩa gĩtahe.”
9 UDavida labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye bafika eDongeni lwaseBhesori, lapho abanye abasala khona,
Daudi na andũ magana matandatũ arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake magĩkinya Mũkuru wa Besori, harĩa amwe ao maatigirwo thuutha,
10 ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basebedinwe kakhulu ukuba bachaphe udonga. Kodwa uDavida labantu abangamakhulu amane baqhubeka belandela.
nĩgũkorwo andũ ta magana meerĩ maarĩ anogu mũno, makĩremwo nĩ kũringa mũkuru ũcio. No Daudi na andũ magana mana magĩthiĩ na mbere kũmarũmĩrĩra.
11 Bafica umGibhithe egangeni bamusa kuDavida. Bamnika amanzi okunatha lokudla ukuba adle,
Nao magĩkorerera Mũmisiri werũ-inĩ, makĩmũtwara kũrĩ Daudi. Makĩmũhe maaĩ ma kũnyua na irio cia kũrĩa,
12 ingxenye yekhekhe lemikhiwa ekhanyiweyo lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo. Wadla wathola amandla, ngoba wayengadlanga lutho njalo enganathanga manzi insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
na kĩenyũ kĩa ngũyũ hihe na imanjĩka igĩrĩ cia thabibũ nyũmithie. Akĩrĩa agĩcookwo nĩ hinya, nĩ ũndũ ndaarĩte irio kana akanyua maaĩ handũ ha mĩthenya ĩtatũ, ũtukũ na mũthenya.
13 UDavida wambuza wathi, “Ungokabani wena, njalo uvela ngaphi na?” Yena wathi, “NgingumGibhithe, isigqili somʼAmaleki. Inkosi yami ingitshiyile sengigula ensukwini ezintathu ezedluleyo.
Daudi akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “We ũrĩ wa ũ na uumĩte kũ?” Agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ Mũmisiri, ngombo ya mũndũ Mũamaleki. Mwathi wakwa aandiganĩirie ndarũara, mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩthirĩte.
14 Sihlasele iNegebi yamaKherethi lelizwe likaJuda kanye leNegebi yamaKhalebi. Njalo iZikhilagi siyitshisile.”
Nĩtwatharĩkĩire Negevu ya Akerethi, na rũgongo rwa bũrũri wa Juda, na Negevu ya Kalebu, na tũgĩcina Zikilagi.”
15 UDavida wambuza wathi, “Ungangisa kulelixuku elihlaselayo na?” Waphendula wathi, “Funga kimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala kumbe unginikele enkosini yami, besengikusa-ke kubo.”
Daudi akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wahota kũndongoria ũnjikũrũkie kũrĩ mbũtũ ĩyo ĩraatharĩkĩire?” Mũndũ ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wĩhĩte na mwĩhĩtwa mbere ya Ngai atĩ ndũkũnjũraga, kana ũneane kũrĩ mwathi wakwa, na nĩngũgũtwara, tũikũrũke tũthiĩ kũrĩa marĩ.”
16 Wakhokhela uDavida, bababona begcwele indawana yonke, besidla, benatha njalo bejabula ngenxa yobunengi bempango ababeyithumbile elizweni lamaFilistiya kanye lakoJuda.
Agĩtongoria Daudi, magĩikũrũka, nao makĩmakora kũu, maharaganĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, magĩĩkenagia nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maatahĩte indo nyingĩ kuuma bũrũri wa Afilisti, na kuuma Juda.
17 UDavida walwa labo kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa ngelanga elilandelayo, njalo kakho owabo owaphunyukayo ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane agada amakamela abaleka.
Daudi akĩmahũũra kuuma hwaĩ-inĩ kũrĩ mairia nginya hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe worire, tiga o aanake magana mana arĩa maahaicire ngamĩĩra ciao makĩũra.
18 UDavida wakuthatha njalo konke okwakuthunjwe ngama-Amaleki kanye labomkakhe ababili.
Daudi agĩcookia indo ciothe iria Aamaleki maakuuĩte, o hamwe na atumia ake eerĩ.
19 Akukho lutho olwaswelakalayo: omutsha kumbe omdala, umfana kumbe inkazana, impango kumbe olunye nje ulutho ababeluthethe. UDavida wabuyisa konke.
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩagire: mũndũ mwĩthĩ kana mũkũrũ, kamwana kana kairĩtu, indo iria ciothe ciatahĩtwo kana kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩa maakuuĩte. Daudi agĩcookithia indo ciothe.
20 Wathatha izimvu zonke lenkomo, abantu bakhe baziqhuba ziphambi kwezinye izifuyo, besithi, “Le yimpango kaDavida.”
Nake akĩoya ndũũru ciothe cia mbũri na ngʼombe, nao andũ ake magĩcitwara mbere ya mahiũ marĩa mangĩ, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩ indo iria Daudi aatahĩte.”
21 Emva kwalokho uDavida wafika ebantwini abangamakhulu amabili ababedinwe kakhulu baze behluleka ukumlandela ababesele emuva eDongeni lwaseBhesori. Baphuma bahlangabeza uDavida kanye labantu ababelaye. Kwathi uDavida esesondela labantu bakhe, wababingelela.
Ningĩ Daudi agĩkinya harĩ andũ arĩa magana meerĩ arĩa maanogete mũno makaremwo nĩ kũmũrũmĩrĩra na magatigwo thuutha hau mũkuru-inĩ wa Besori. Magĩũka gũthagaana Daudi na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake. Rĩrĩa Daudi na andũ ake maakuhĩrĩirie, akĩmageithia.
22 Kodwa bonke abantu ababi labahlokozi bohlupho abaphakathi kwabalandeli bakaDavida, bathi, “Ngenxa yokuthi kabahambanga lathi kasiyikwabelana labo impango esiyithumbileyo. Kodwa yileyo laleyo indoda ingathatha umkayo labantwabayo ihambe.”
No andũ arĩa othe aaganu na arĩa a haaro thĩinĩ wa arũmĩrĩri a Daudi makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ matiathiire hamwe na ithuĩ-rĩ, tũtikũgayana nao indo cia gũtahwo iria tũcookithĩtie. No rĩrĩ, o mũndũ no oe mũtumia wake na ciana athiĩ.”
23 UDavida waphendula wathi, “Hatshi, bafowethu, akumelanga lenzenjalo ngalokho uThixo asiphe khona. Usivikele wawanikela kithi amabutho abesihlasela.
Daudi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, ariũ a baba, mũtingĩĩka ũguo na indo iria Jehova atũheete. Nĩatũgitĩire na akaneana mbũtũ iria ciatũũkĩrĩire moko-inĩ maitũ.
24 Pho ngubani ozalalela lokhu elikutshoyo na? Isabelo somuntu osele lempahla sizafana lesalowo ohambileyo ekulweni impi. Bonke bazakwabelwa ngokufanayo.”
Nũũ ũngĩthikĩrĩria ũguo mũroiga? Igai rĩa mũndũ ũrĩa watigirwo akĩrora indo rĩkũiganana na rĩa ũrĩa waikũrũkire agĩthiĩ mbaara-inĩ. Othe mekũgayana o ũndũ ũmwe.”
25 UDavida wenza lokhu kwaba yisimiso lomthetho ko-Israyeli kusukela ngalelolanga kuze kube yileli.
Daudi agĩtua ũndũ ũcio ũtuĩke kĩrĩra na watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo kũu Isiraeli kuuma mũthenya ũcio nginya ũmũthĩ.
26 UDavida esefikile eZikhilagi, wathumela enye impango ebadaleni bakoJuda, ababengabangane bakhe, esithi, “Nansi isipho senu esivela empangweni yezitha zikaThixo.”
Rĩrĩa Daudi aakinyire Zikilagi, agĩtũmĩra athuuri a Juda arĩa maarĩ arata ake indo imwe cia iria ciatahĩtwo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩ kĩheo kĩanyu harĩ indo iria itahĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ thũ cia Jehova.”
27 Wayithumela kulabo ababeseBhetheli, leRamothi Negebi leJathiri,
Agĩcitũmĩra arĩa maarĩ Betheli, na Ramothu-Negevu, na Jatiri;
