1 USamuyeli 13
1 USawuli wayelomnyaka embusweni wakhe. Esebuse uIsrayeli okweminyaka emibili,
Saul a manghai kum neh Israel soah kum nit a manghai nen tah,
2 uSawuli wasezikhethela abayizinkulungwane ezintathu kwamaIsrayeli; njalo abayizinkulungwane ezimbili babeloSawuli eMikimashi lentabeni yeBhetheli, lenkulungwane yaba loJonathani eGibeya yakoBhenjamini; labaseleyo babantu wabayekela bahamba, ngulowo lalowo ethenteni lakhe.
Israel hlang thawng thum te Saul loh amah ham a coelh. Te vaengah Mikmash kah Saul taeng neh Bethel tlang ah a thawng thawng om uh tih Benjamin Gibeah kah Jonathan taengah khaw a thawng thawng la om uh. Pilnam hlangrhuel rhoek te amah dap la boeih a tueih.
3 UJonathani wasetshaya ibutho lenqaba yamaFilisti eyayiseGeba, lamaFilisti akuzwa. USawuli wasevuthela uphondo elizweni lonke esithi: AmaHebheru kawezwe.
Geba kah Philisti khohung te Jonathan loh a tloek tih Philisti rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te dongah Saul loh kho takuem ah tuki a ueng tih, “Hebrew rhoek loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
4 UIsrayeli wonke wezwa kuthiwa uSawuli utshayile ibutho lenqaba yamaFilisti lokuthi uIsrayeli laye waba levumba kumaFilisti. Abantu basebebizelwa ndawonye ukulandela uSawuli baye eGiligali.
Israel pum loh a yaak uh vaengah, “Saul loh Philisti khohung a tloek dongah Israel he Philisti ham a bo rhim coeng,” a ti uh. Te dongah pilnam khaw Gilgal kah Saul hnukah bukbuk pang uh.
5 AmaFilisti asebuthana ukuthi alwe loIsrayeli, inqola eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, labagadi bamabhiza abayizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, labantu abalingana letshebetshebe elisekhunjini lolwandle ngobunengi; enyuka amisa inkamba eMikimashi, empumalanga kweBeti-Aveni.
Te dongah Philisti loh Israel te vathoh thil ham, leng thawng sawmthum neh marhang caem thawng rhuk neh pilnam te tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin yet la taai uh. Te phoeiah cet uh tih Bethaven khothoeng Mikmash ah rhaeh uh.
6 Kwathi amadoda akoIsrayeli ebona ukuthi asekuminyezelweni, ngoba abantu bacindezelwa, abantu bacatsha embalwini lezixukwini zameva, lemadwaleni, lezinqabeni, lemigodini.
Pilnam taengah lai a suk pah tih puen a cak te Israel hlang loh a hmuh vaengah pilnam tah lungko khuila, hlingpuep khuila, thaelpang khuila, hmuensang neh tangrhom khuila thuh uh.
7 LamaHebheru achapha iJordani, aya elizweni leGadi leGileyadi. Kodwa uSawuli wayelokhu eseGiligali, labantu bonke bathuthumela bemlandela.
Hebrew rhoek khaw Gad kho kah Jordan neh Gilead la kat uh. Tedae Saul amah tah Gilgal ah om pueng tih a hnukkah pilnam boeih long tah lakueng uh.
8 Waselinda insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengesikhathi esamiswa nguSamuweli; kodwa uSamuweli kafikanga eGiligali, labantu bahlakazeka besuka kuye.
Te dongah a khoning bangla Samuel te hnin rhih khuiah a rhing mai a rhing mai. Tedae Samuel te Gilgal la a pawk pawt dongah pilnam khaw Saul taeng lamloh taekyak uh.
9 USawuli wasesithi: Sondezani kimi umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula. Wasenikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
Te dongah Saul loh, “Hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah te kai taengla hang khuen,” a ti nah tih hmueihhlutnah te a nawn.
10 Kwasekusithi eseqede ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, khangela, uSamuweli wafika; uSawuli wasephuma ukumhlangabeza ukuze ambingelele.
Tedae hmueihhlutnah a nawn te a khah van neh Samuel te tarha ha pawk tih anih doe ham neh uem hamla Saul te cet.
11 USamuweli wasesithi: Wenzeni? USawuli wasesithi: Ngoba ngibone ukuthi abantu babehlakazeka besuka kimi, lawe ungafikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo sezinsuku, lokuthi amaFilisti asebuthene eMikimashi.
Samuel loh, “Balae na saii?” a ti nah hatah, Saul loh, “Pilnam he kai taeng lamloh haeh coeng tih tingtunnah tue vaengah namah khaw na pawk voel pawh tila ka hmuh. Te vaengah Philisti loh Mikmash ah taai uh coeng.
12 Ngakho ngathi: Khathesi amaFilisti azangehlela eGiligali, ngingancenganga ubuso beNkosi. Ngasengizibamba ngamandla, nganikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
Tedae, “Philisti loh kai taengla Gilgal ah ha suntla uh pawn ni, BOEIPA maelhmai ka tong pawt ah,” ka ti dongah ka thiim uh tih hmueihhlutnah te ka nawn,” a ti nah.
13 USamuweli wasesithi kuSawuli: Wenze ngobuwula; kawuwugcinanga umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakulaya wona; ngoba khathesi iNkosi ibizawumisa umbuso wakho koIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
Tedae Samuel loh Saul te, “Na pavai dongah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ng'uen olpaek na tuem pawh. Na ram he BOEIPA loh Israel taengah kumhal duela a thoh pawn suidae ta.
14 Kodwa khathesi umbuso wakho kawuyikuma. INkosi isizidingele umuntu ngokwenhliziyo yayo, njalo iNkosi isimlayile ukuthi abe ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bayo, ngoba kawugcinanga lokho iNkosi ekulaye khona.
Tedae na ram he pai voel mahpawh. BOEIPA loh nang ng'uen te na tuem pawt dongah amah kah thinko aka tong hlang ni BOEIPA loh a toem, anih te BOEIPA loh a pilnam soah rhaengsang la a uen coeng,” a ti nah.
15 USamuweli wasesukuma wenyuka esuka eGiligali waya eGibeya yakoBhenjamini. USawuli wasebala abantu abaficwa belaye, phose abangamakhulu ayisithupha.
Te phoeiah Samuel te thoo tih Gilgal lamloh Benjamin Gibeah la cet. Pilnam te Saul loh a soep vaengah hlang ya rhuk tluk amah taengah a om pah.
16 Njalo uSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe labantu abaficwa belabo bahlala eGibeya yakoBhenjamini, kodwa amaFilisti amisa inkamba eMikimashi.
Saul, a capa Jonathan neh a taengkah aka om pilnam loh Benjamin Geba ah a om vaengah Philisti tah Mikmash ah rhaeh.
17 Abachithi basebephuma enkambeni yamaFilisti ngezigaba ezintathu; esinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yeOfira, saya elizweni leShuwali;
Te vaengah Philisti caem lamkah kutpo rhoek te, rhoi thum la coe uh tih rhoi at tah Shual kho kah Ophrah longpuei la hooi uh.
18 lesinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yeBhethi-Horoni; lesinye isigaba saphendukela endleleni yomngcele okhangele esihotsheni seZeboyimi ngasenkangala.
Rhoi at te Bethhoron longpuei la hooi uh tih rhoi at te kolrhawk la aka dan khosoek rhi kah longpuei la hooi uh.
19 Njalo kwakungatholakali mkhandi elizweni lonke lakoIsrayeli, ngoba amaFilisti athi: Hlezi amaHebheru enze izinkemba loba imikhonto.
Te vaengah Israel kho tom ah kutthai ana om pawt hatah Philisti loh, “Hebrew te cunghang khaw, caai khaw saii uh phayoe ve,” a ti uh.
20 UIsrayeli wonke-ke wehlela kumaFilisti ukulola, ngulowo lalowo isikali sakhe sekhuba, lemataka yakhe, lehloka lakhe, lesikela yakhe.
Tedae a thecung neh a tuktong mai khaw, a hai neh a thecung mai khaw hlang loh a tah ham vaengah tah Philisti te Israel pum loh a suntlak thiluh.
21 Imbadalo yezikali zekhuba lamamataka lamafologwe alencijo ezintathu lamahloka lokulungisa izincijo yayiyipimi.
Tedae thecung neh tuktong khaw, thingsong pathum neh hai khaw, ciksum a ten ham koi khaw yula man la a om pah.
22 Ngakho kwathi ngosuku lwempi kakutholakalanga inkemba loba umkhonto esandleni saloba ngubani wabantu ababeloSawuli lababeloJonathani; kodwa kwatholakala kuSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe.
Te dongah caemtloek tue a pha vaengah Saul neh Jonathan taengkah pilnam he pakhat kut dongah khaw cunghang neh caai hmu voel pawh. Tedae Saul neh a capa Jonathan taengah ah dawk hmuh la om.
23 Lebutho lenqaba yamaFilisti laphuma laya emkhandlweni weMikimashi.
Te vaengah Philisti rhaltawt hmuen tah Mikmash lamkai la pawk coeng.
