1 USamuyeli 14

1 Kwasekusithi ngolunye usuku, uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wathi emfaneni othwala izikhali zakhe: Woza sichaphele ebuthweni lenqaba yamaFilisti elingaphetsheya ngale. Kodwa kamtshelanga uyise.

and to be [the] day and to say Jonathan son: child Saul to(wards) [the] youth to lift: bear article/utensil his to go: come! [emph?] and to pass to(wards) station Philistine which from side: beside this and to/for father his not to tell

2 USawuli wayehlala-ke ephethelweni leGibeya ngaphansi kwesihlahla sepomegranati esiseMigironi; labantu ababelaye babengaphose babe ngamadoda angamakhulu ayisithupha;

and Saul to dwell in/on/with end [the] Gibeah underneath: under [the] pomegranate which in/on/with Migron and [the] people which with him like/as six hundred man

3 loAhiya, indodana kaAhitubi, umfowabo kaIkabodi, indodana kaPhinehasi, indodana kaEli, umpristi weNkosi eShilo, wayembethe i-efodi. Kodwa abantu babengazi ukuthi uJonathani uhambile.

and Ahijah son: child Ahitub brother: male-sibling Ichabod son: child Phinehas son: child Eli priest LORD in/on/with Shiloh to lift: bear ephod and [the] people not to know for to go: went Jonathan

4 Laphakathi kwemikhandlo, lapho uJonathani ayezama ukuchapha khona ukuya ebuthweni lenqaba yamaFilisti, kwakuledwala elicijileyo nganeno, ledwala elicijileyo ngaphetsheya; njalo ibizo lelinye laliyiBozezi, lebizo lelinye laliyiSene.

and between: among [the] ford which to seek Jonathan to/for to pass upon station Philistine tooth: crag [the] crag from [the] side: beside from this and tooth: crag [the] crag from [the] side: beside from this and name [the] one Bozez and name [the] one Seneh

5 Elinye iliwa laligxile enyakatho maqondana leMikimashi, lelinye ngeningizimu maqondana leGeba.

[the] tooth: crag [the] one pillar from north opposite Michmash and [the] one from south opposite Geba

6 UJonathani wasesithi emfaneni othwala izikhali zakhe: Woza sichaphele ebuthweni lenqaba elalaba abangasokanga; mhlawumbe iNkosi izasisebenzela, ngoba kakulasenqabelo eNkosini ukusindisa ngabanengi loba ngabalutshwana.

and to say Jonathan to(wards) [the] youth to lift: bear article/utensil his to go: come! [emph?] and to pass to(wards) station [the] uncircumcised [the] these perhaps to make: do LORD to/for us for nothing to/for LORD restraint to/for to save in/on/with many or in/on/with little

7 Umthwali wezikhali zakhe wasesithi kuye: Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho; phambuka, khangela ngilawe njengokwenhliziyo yakho.

and to say to/for him to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his to make: do all which in/on/with heart your to stretch to/for you look! I with you like/as heart your

8 UJonathani wasesithi: Khangela, sizachaphela kulabobantu sizibonakalise kibo.

and to say Jonathan behold we to pass to(wards) [the] human and to reveal: reveal to(wards) them

9 Uba bekhuluma njalo kithi besithi: Manini mpo, size sifike kini; sizakuma-ke endaweni yethu, singenyukeli kibo.

if thus to say to(wards) us to silence: stationary till to touch we to(wards) you and to stand: stand underneath: stand us and not to ascend: rise to(wards) them

10 Kodwa uba bekhuluma njalo kithi besithi: Yenyukelani kithi; sizakwenyuka-ke, ngoba iNkosi ibanikele esandleni sethu; lalokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kithi.

and if thus to say to ascend: rise upon us and to ascend: rise for to give: give them LORD in/on/with hand: power our and this to/for us [the] sign: indicator

11 Ngakho bobabili bazibonakalisa ebuthweni lenqaba yamaFilisti; amaFilisti asesithi: Khangelani, amaHebheru asephuma emilindini abecatshe kiyo.

and to reveal: reveal two their to(wards) station Philistine and to say Philistine behold Hebrew to come out: come from [the] hole which to hide there

12 Amadoda ebutho lenqaba asephendula oJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe athi: Yenyukelani kithi, sizalitshengisa ulutho. UJonathani wasesithi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe: Yenyuka ungilandele, ngoba iNkosi iwanikele esandleni sikaIsrayeli.

and to answer human [the] guard [obj] Jonathan and [obj] to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his and to say to ascend: rise to(wards) us and to know [obj] you word: thing and to say Jonathan to(wards) to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his to ascend: rise after me for to give: give them LORD in/on/with hand: power Israel

13 UJonathani wasekhwela ngezandla zakhe langenyawo zakhe, lomthwali wezikhali zakhe emva kwakhe. Asesiwa phambi kukaJonathani, lomthwali wezikhali zakhe wawabulala emva kwakhe.

and to ascend: rise Jonathan upon hand his and upon foot his and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his after him and to fall: kill to/for face: before Jonathan and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his to die after him

14 Ukutshaya kokuqala atshaya ngakho uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe kwakungaba phose ngamadoda angamatshumi amabili, ensimini elingana lengxenye yendima yesipani.

and to be [the] wound [the] first which to smite Jonathan and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his like/as twenty man like/as in/on/with half furrow pair land: country

15 Kwasekusiba khona ukuthuthumela enkambeni, egangeni, laphakathi kwabantu bonke; ibutho lenqaba labachithi labo bathuthumela, lomhlaba wanyikinyeka, kwasekusiba yikuthuthumela okukhulu.

and to be trembling in/on/with camp in/on/with land: country and in/on/with all [the] people [the] station and [the] to ruin to tremble also they(masc.) and to tremble [the] land: country/planet and to be to/for trembling God

16 Abalindi bakaSawuli eGibeya yakoBhenjamini basebebona ukuthi, khangela, ixuku lancibilika lihamba litshayelana phansi.

and to see: see [the] to watch to/for Saul in/on/with Gibeah Benjamin and behold [the] crowd to melt and to go: went and here

17 USawuli wasesithi ebantwini ababelaye: Ake libale, libone ukuthi ngubani osuke kithi. Kwathi sebebalile, khangela, uJonathani lomthwali wezikhali zakhe babengekho.

and to say Saul to/for people which with him to reckon: list please and to see: see who? to go: went from from with us and to reckon: list and behold nothing Jonathan and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his

18 USawuli wasesithi kuAhiya: Letha lapha umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngalolosuku wawukubantwana bakoIsrayeli.

and to say Saul to/for Ahijah to approach: bring [emph?] ark [the] God for to be ark [the] God in/on/with day [the] he/she/it and son: descendant/people Israel

19 Kwasekusithi uSawuli esakhuluma lompristi, umsindo owawusenkambeni yamaFilisti waqhubeka wanda. USawuli wasesithi kumpristi: Buyisela isandla sakho.

and to be till to speak: speak Saul to(wards) [the] priest and [the] crowd which in/on/with camp Philistine and to go: continue to go: continue and many and to say Saul to(wards) [the] priest to gather hand your

20 USawuli labo bonke abantu ababelaye basebebizelwa ndawonye bafika empini, khangela-ke, inkemba yalowo lalowo yayimelene lomakhelwane wakhe, isiyaluyalu esikhulu kakhulu.

and to cry out Saul and all [the] people which with him and to come (in): come till [the] battle and behold to be sword man: anyone in/on/with neighbor his tumult great: large much

21 LamaHebheru ayelamaFilisti njengakuqala, enyukela lawo enkambeni inhlangothi zonke, ngitsho lawo aphenduka ukuthi abe loIsrayeli owayeloSawuli loJonathani.

and [the] Hebrew to be to/for Philistine like/as previously three days ago which to ascend: rise with them in/on/with camp around and also they(masc.) to/for to be with Israel which with Saul and Jonathan

22 Kwathi amadoda wonke akoIsrayeli ayecatshe entabeni yakoEfrayimi esezwile ukuthi amaFilisti ayabaleka, ngitsho lawo awanamathela ewalandela empini.

and all man Israel [the] to hide in/on/with mountain: hill country Ephraim to hear: hear for to flee Philistine and to cleave also they(masc.) after them in/on/with battle

23 Ngokunjalo iNkosi yamsindisa uIsrayeli ngalolosuku; lempi yedlulela eBeti-Aveni.

and to save LORD in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [obj] Israel and [the] battle to pass [obj] Beth-aven Beth-aven

24 Amadoda akoIsrayeli asekhathala ngalolosuku, ngoba uSawuli wafungisa abantu esithi: Kaqalekiswe umuntu odla ukudla kuze kube ntambama, ukuze ngiziphindiselele ezitheni zami. Ngakho kakho ebantwini owanambitha ukudla.

and man Israel to oppress in/on/with day [the] he/she/it and to swear Saul [obj] [the] people to/for to say to curse [the] man which to eat food till [the] evening and to avenge from enemy my and not to perceive all [the] people food

25 Bonke abelizwe basebefika ehlathini; njalo kwakuloluju phezu kobuso bomhlabathi.

and all [the] land: country/planet to come (in): come in/on/with honeycomb and to be honey upon face: before [the] land: soil

26 Lapho abantu bengena ehlathini, khangela, uluju lwathonta; kodwa kakho loyedwa owasa isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, ngoba abantu besaba isifungo.

and to come (in): come [the] people to(wards) [the] honeycomb and behold traveller honey and nothing to overtake hand his to(wards) lip his for to fear [the] people [obj] [the] oath

27 Kodwa uJonathani wayengezwanga lapho uyise efungisa abantu; ngakho welula isihloko somqwayi owawusesandleni sakhe, wasigxamuza ehlangeni lwenyosi, wasesisa isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, lamehlo akhe aqaqabuka.

and Jonathan not to hear: hear in/on/with to swear father his [obj] [the] people and to send: reach [obj] end [the] tribe: rod which in/on/with hand his and to dip [obj] her in/on/with honeycomb [the] honey and to return: return hand his to(wards) lip his (and to light *Q(K)*) eye his

28 Omunye wabantu wasephendula wathi: Uyihlo ubafungisile lokubafungisa abantu esithi: Uqalekisiwe umuntu odla ukudla lamuhla. Abantu basebephele amandla.

and to answer man from [the] people and to say to swear to swear father your [obj] [the] people to/for to say to curse [the] man which to eat food [the] day: today and be faint [the] people

29 UJonathani wasesithi: Ubaba ulihluphile ilizwe; ake libone ukuthi amehlo ami aseqaqabuke njani, ngoba nginambithe ingcosana yaloluluju.

and to say Jonathan to trouble father my [obj] [the] land: country/planet to see: see please for to light eye my for to perceive little honey [the] this

30 Kudlula kangakanani aluba abantu bebedlile lokudla lamuhla okwempango yezitha zabo abayitholayo? Ngoba khathesi ukubulala kakubanga kukhulu phakathi kwamaFilisti.

also for if to eat to eat [the] day [the] people from spoil enemy his which to find for now not to multiply wound in/on/with Philistine

31 Basebetshaya amaFilisti ngalolosuku kusukela eMikimashi kuze kube seAjaloni. Abantu basebephele amandla kakhulu.

and to smite in/on/with day [the] he/she/it in/on/with Philistine from Michmash Aijalon [to] and be faint [the] people much

32 Abantu basebetheleka empangweni; bathatha izimvu, lezinkabi, lamathole enkomo, bakuhlabela emhlabathini; abantu bakudla kanye legazi.

(and to pounce *Q(K)*) [the] people to(wards) ([the] spoil *Q(K)*) and to take: take flock and cattle and son: young animal cattle and to slaughter land: soil [to] and to eat [the] people upon [the] blood

33 Basebemtshela uSawuli besithi: Khangela, abantu bayona eNkosini ngokudla kanye legazi. Wasesithi: Lenze ngokungathembeki; giqelani kimi ilitshe elikhulu lamuhla.

and to tell to/for Saul to/for to say behold [the] people to sin to/for LORD to/for to eat upon [the] blood and to say to act treacherously to roll to(wards) me [the] day stone great: large

34 USawuli wasesithi: Zihlakazeni phakathi kwabantu lithi kibo: Sondezani kimi, ngulowo lalowo inkabi yakhe, langulowo lalowo imvu yakhe, lizihlabele lapha, lidle; njalo lingoni eNkosini ngokudla kanye legazi. Ngakho bonke abantu basondeza, ngulowo lalowo inkabi yakhe ngesandla sakhe ngalobobusuku, bazihlaba khona.

and to say Saul to scatter in/on/with people and to say to/for them to approach: bring to(wards) me man: anyone cattle his and man: anyone sheep his and to slaughter in/on/with this and to eat and not to sin to/for LORD to/for to eat to(wards) [the] blood and to approach: bring all [the] people man: anyone cattle his in/on/with hand: monument his [the] night and to slaughter there

35 USawuli waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; kwakulilathi lokuqala alakhela iNkosi.

and to build Saul altar to/for LORD [obj] him to profane/begin: begin to/for to build altar to/for LORD

36 USawuli wasesithi: Asehleni silandele amaFilisti ebusuku, siwaphange kuze kube yikukhanya kokusa, singatshiyi lamuntu kiwo. Basebesithi: Yenza konke okuhle emehlweni akho. Kodwa umpristi wathi: Asisondeleni lapha kuNkulunkulu.

and to say Saul to go down after Philistine night and to plunder in/on/with them till light [the] morning and not to remain in/on/with them man: anyone and to say all [the] pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance your to make: do and to say [the] priest to present: come here to(wards) [the] God

37 USawuli wasebuza kuNkulunkulu wathi: Ngehle ngilandele amaFilisti yini? Uzawanikela esandleni sikaIsrayeli yini? Kodwa kamphendulanga ngalolosuku.

and to ask Saul in/on/with God to go down after Philistine to give: give them in/on/with hand: power Israel and not to answer him in/on/with day [the] he/she/it

38 USawuli wasesithi: Sondelani lapha lonke bakhokheli babantu, lazi libone ukuthi lesisono sikukuphi lamuhla.

and to say Saul to approach: approach here all corner [the] people and to know and to see: see in/on/with what? to be [the] sin [the] this [the] day

39 Ngoba kuphila kukaJehova owasindisa uIsrayeli, lanxa kungaba kuJonathani indodana yami, isibili uzakufa lokufa. Kodwa kakho loyedwa owamphendulayo ebantwini bonke.

for alive LORD [the] to save [obj] Israel that if: except if: except there he in/on/with Jonathan son: child my for to die to die and nothing to answer him from all [the] people

40 Wasesithi kuIsrayeli wonke: Banini nganxanye lina, mina-ke loJonathani indodana yami sizakuba nganxanye. Abantu basebesithi kuSawuli: Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho.

and to say to(wards) all Israel you(m. p.) to be to/for side: beside one and I and Jonathan son: child my to be to/for side: beside one and to say [the] people to(wards) Saul [the] pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance your to make: do

41 Ngakho uSawuli wathi eNkosini uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Phana opheleleyo. UJonathani loSawuli basebebanjwa, kodwa abantu baphunyuka.

and to say Saul to(wards) LORD God Israel (to/for what? not to answer [obj] servant/slave your [the] day: today if there in/on/with me or in/on/with Jonathan son: child my [the] iniquity: crime [the] this LORD God Israel to give [emph?] Urim and if there he [the] iniquity: crime [the] this in/on/with people your Israel *X*) to give [emph?] unblemished: Thummim and to capture Jonathan and Saul and [the] people to come out: come

42 USawuli wasesithi: Yenzani inkatho yokuphosa phakathi kwami loJonathani indodana yami. UJonathani wasebanjwa.

and to say Saul to fall: allot between me and between Jonathan son: child my and to capture Jonathan

43 USawuli wasesithi kuJonathani: Ngitshela okwenzileyo. UJonathani wasemtshela wathi: Oqotho nginambithe ngesihloko somqwayi obusesandleni sami imbijana yoluju; khangela ngilapha, sengizakufa!

and to say Saul to(wards) Jonathan to tell [emph?] to/for me what? to make: do and to tell to/for him Jonathan and to say to perceive to perceive in/on/with end [the] tribe: rod which in/on/with hand my little honey look! I to die

44 USawuli wasesithi: UNkulunkulu kenze njalo langokunjalo engezelele; ngoba uzakufa lokufa, Jonathani.

and to say Saul thus to make: do God and thus to add for to die to die Jonathan

45 Kodwa abantu bathi kuSawuli: Uzakufa yini uJonathani, owenze lolusindiso olukhulu koIsrayeli? Kakube khatshana! Kuphila kukaJehova, kakuyikuwela emhlabathini lolulodwa unwele lwekhanda lakhe, ngoba usebenze loNkulunkulu lamuhla. Ngakho abantu bamhlenga uJonathani ukuthi angafi.

and to say [the] people to(wards) Saul Jonathan to die which to make: do [the] salvation [the] great: large [the] this in/on/with Israel forbid alive LORD if: surely no to fall: fall from hair head his land: soil [to] for with God to make: do [the] day: today [the] this and to ransom [the] people [obj] Jonathan and not to die

46 USawuli wasesenyuka esuka ekulandeleni amaFilisti; amaFilisti asesiya endaweni yawo.

and to ascend: rise Saul from after Philistine and Philistine to go: went to/for place their

47 USawuli wasethatha ubukhosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, walwa emelene lezitha zakhe zonke inhlangothi zonke, emelene loMowabi, njalo emelene labantwana bakoAmoni, njalo emelene loEdoma, njalo emelene lamakhosi eZoba, njalo emelene lamaFilisti; laloba ngaphi lapho aphendukela khona wayejezisa.

and Saul to capture [the] kingship upon Israel and to fight around: side in/on/with all enemy his in/on/with Moab and in/on/with son: descendant/people Ammon and in/on/with Edom and in/on/with king Zobah and in/on/with Philistine and in/on/with all which to turn be wicked

48 Wenza ngobuqhawe wasetshaya amaAmaleki, wakhulula uIsrayeli esandleni somphangi wakhe.

and to make: do strength and to smite [obj] Amalek and to rescue [obj] Israel from hand: power to plunder him

49 Lamadodana kaSawuli ayengoJonathani loIshivi, loMaliki-Shuwa; lamabizo amadodakazi akhe amabili yila: Ibizo lezibulo lalinguMerabi, lebizo lencinyane linguMikhali.

and to be son: child Saul Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua Malchi-shua and name two daughter his name [the] firstborn Merab and name [the] small Michal

50 Lebizo lomkaSawuli lalinguAhinowama indodakazi kaAhimahazi; lebizo lenduna yebutho lakhe lalinguAbhineri indodana kaNeri, uyise omncinyane kaSawuli.

and name woman: wife Saul Ahinoam daughter Ahimaaz and name ruler army his Abner son: child Ner beloved: male relative Saul

51 Njalo uKishi wayenguyise kaSawuli, loNeri uyise kaAbhineri wayeyindodana kaAbiyeli.

and Kish father Saul and Ner father Abner son: child Abiel

52 Njalo kwakukhona impi enzima lamaFilisti zonke izinsuku zikaSawuli; lapho uSawuli ebona indoda elamandla loba iqhawe, wayezibuthela yona.

and to be [the] battle strong upon Philistine all day Saul and to see: see Saul all man mighty man and all son: descendant/people strength and to gather him to(wards) him
