1 USamuyeli 17
1 AmaFilisti asebuthela amabutho awo impi; abuthana eSoko engeyakoJuda, amisa inkamba phakathi kweSoko leAzeka, eEfesi-Damimi.
HOAKOAKOA ae la ko Pilisetia i ko lakou poe kaua e kaua mai, a ua houluuluia lakou ma Soko, no Iuda, a hoomoana iho la mawaena o Soko a me Azeka, ma Epesa-damima.
2 USawuli lamadoda akoIsrayeli babuthana, bamisa inkamba esigodini seEla, bahlela impi ukumelana lamaFilisti.
A akoakoa o Saula a me na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma ke awawa o Ela, a hooponopono i ke kaua e ku e i ko Pilisetia.
3 AmaFilisti asesima entabeni ngapha, loIsrayeli wema entabeni ngale, lesigodi sasiphakathi kwabo.
Ku ae la ko Pilisetia maluna o ka puu ma kekahi aoao, a ku ae la hoi ka Iseraela maluna o ka puu ma kekahi aoao: a o ke awawa iwaena o lakou.
4 Kwasekuphuma enkambeni yamaFilisti iqhawe; ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi weGathi; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisithupha lokwelulwa kweminwe.
A puka mai la kekahi kanaka koa no ka poe o ko Pilisetia, o Golia kona inoa no Gata, o kona kiekie hookahi ia anana a me na kapuwai eha.
5 Kwakulekhowa lethusi ekhanda lalo; laligqoke ibhatshi lensimbi elilamaxolo; njalo isisindo sebhatshi lensimbi sasingamashekeli ethusi ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
A he mahiole keleawe ma kona poo, a he pale umauma unahe kona, a o ke kaumaha o ia pale umauma, elima tausani sekela keleawe.
6 Njalo kwakulemigwamazi yethusi emibaleni yalo, lomkhonto wethusi phakathi laphakathi kwamahlombe alo.
A he mau pale keleawe ma kona wawae, a he pale keleawe mawaena o kona mau poohiwi.
7 Loluthi lomkhonto walo lwalunjengogodo lomaluki, lengqamu yomkhonto walo yayingamashekeli ensimbi angamakhulu ayisithupha; lophatha isihlangu esikhulu wayehamba phambi kwalo.
A o ke au o kana ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea hana lole, a o ka pahi o kana ihe, he aono haneri sekela hao, ma ke kaupaona: a hele kekahi kanaka imua ona e hali ana i ka pale kaua.
8 Lema, lamemeza emaviyweni akoIsrayeli lathi kuwo: Liphumelani ukuzahlela impi? Kangisuye umFilisti yini, lani izinceku zikaSawuli? Zikhetheleni umuntu ehlele kimi.
Ku ae la ia a kahea mai la i ka poe kaua o ka Iseraela, i mai la ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i hele mai ai e hooponopono i ke kaua? Aole anei wau he Pilisetia, a o oukou he poe kauwa na Saula? e wae oukou i kekahi kanaka no oukou, a e iho mai ia io'u nei.
9 Uba elakho ukulwa lami angibulale, sizakuba yizigqili zenu; kodwa uba mina ngimehlula ngimbulale, lizakuba yizigqili zethu, lisisebenzele.
Ina e hiki ia ia ke kaua pu me au, a make au ia ia, alaila e lilo makou i kauwa na oukou; aka, i lanakila au maluna ona, a make ia ia'u, alaila e lilo oukou i kauwa na makou, a e hookauwa mai oukou na makou.
10 UmFilisti wasesithi: Mina ngiyaweyisa amaviyo akoIsrayeli lamuhla; nginikani indoda ukuze silwisane.
I mai la ua kanaka la no ko Pilisetia, Ke aa aku nei au i ka poe kaua o ka Iseraela i keia la; e ho mai oukou i kekahi kanaka i hoa kaua no'u.
11 Lapho uSawuli loIsrayeli wonke besizwa lamazwi omFilisti, batshaywa luvalo, besaba kakhulu.
A lohe ae la o Saula a me ka Iseraela a pau i ka olelo a ke kanaka no ko Pilisetia, weliweli lakou, a makau loa iho la.
12 UDavida wayeyindodana yalowomEfrathi weBhethelehema-Juda, obizo lakhe lalinguJese; wayelamadodana ayisificaminwembili. Njalo lowomuntu wahamba njengomuntu omdala phakathi kwamadoda ensukwini zikaSawuli.
A o Davida, oia ke keiki a ua kanaka la no Eperata no Betelehema o Iuda, o Iese kona inoa; a ewalu ana keiki: a i ka wa ia Saula, ua elemakule ia iwaena o kanaka.
13 Asehamba amadodana amathathu kaJese amadala, amlandela uSawuli empini. Lamabizo amadodana akhe amathathu ayeyile empini ayenguEliyabi izibulo, lowesibili wakhe uAbinadaba, lowesithathu uShama.
A o na keiki mua ekolu a Iese hele lakou mamuli o Saula i ke kaua: a o ka inoa o na keiki ekolu i hele i ke kaua, o Eliaba ka hanau mua, a mahope mai ona, o Abinadaba, a o Sama ke kolu.
14 Njalo uDavida nguye owayelicinathunjana; lamathathu amadala alandela uSawuli.
A o Davida ka pokii: a hahai aku la na keiki mua ekolu mahope o Saula.
15 Kodwa uDavida wahamba wabuyela esuka kuSawuli ukuyakwelusa izimvu zikayise eBhethelehema.
Aka, o Davida, hele aku la ia a hoi hou ae mai o Saula mai e malama i na hipa o kona makuakane ma Betelehema.
16 UmFilisti wayesondela-ke ekuseni kakhulu lantambama ezimisa okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
A hookokoke mai no ua kanaka Pilisetia la i kakahiaka a me ke ahiahi, a hoike mai ia ia iho i na la he kanaha.
17 UJese wasesithi kuDavida indodana yakhe: Ake uthathele abafowenu i-efa lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lalezizinkwa ezilitshumi, ugijimele enkambeni kubafowenu.
I aku la o Iese ia Davida i kana keiki, Ano e lawe aku oe na kou mau hoahanau i hookahi epa o keia ai i pulehuia, a i keia mau pai palaoa he umi, a e holo i kou mau hoahanau ma kahi i hoomoana'i i ke kaua.
18 Laleziziqa zetshizi ezilitshumi uziphathele induna yenkulungwane; ubone impilakahle yabafowenu, uthathe isibambiso kibo.
A e lawe oe i keia mau pai waiupaa he umi na ka lunatausani, a e ike oe i ka pono o kou mau hoahanau, a e lawe mai i ko lakou mea hooiaio.
19 Njalo uSawuli, labo, lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli babesesigodini seEla besilwa lamaFilisti.
A o Saula, o lakou, a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, aia no ma ke awawa o Ela, e kaua ana i ko Pilisetia.
20 UDavida wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, watshiya izimvu kumlindi, wakuthatha wahamba njengokulaywa kwakhe nguJese. Wafika enqabeni yezinqola lapho ibutho liphuma ngamaviyo, bememezela impi.
Ala ae la o Davida i kakahiaka nui, a waiho i na hipa me ke kahu, a lawe ae la a hele aku e like me ka Iese i kauoha mai ai ia ia; a hiki aku ia ma kahi o na kaa, a e hele ana ka poe koa i ke kaua, a uwo lakou i ke kaua.
21 Njalo uIsrayeli lamaFilisti bahlela iviyo laqondana leviyo.
A ua hoouka aku ka Iseraela a me ko Pilisetia i ke kaua, o kekahi kaua ma ke alo o kekahi kaua.
22 UDavida wasetshiya impahla ezisuka kuye ngaphansi kwesandla somlindi wempahla, wagijimela eviyweni wafika wabuza abafowabo impilakahle.
A waiho aku la o Davida i na mea mai ona aku la ma ka lima o ka mea malama ia mea, a holo aku la i ke kaua, a hele e ninau i ka pono o kona mau hoahanau.
23 Esakhuluma labo, khangela, iqhawe lenyuka, ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi, umFilisti weGathi, laphuma emaviyweni amaFilisti, lakhuluma njengokwalawomazwi; loDavida wawezwa.
Ia ia i kamailio ai me lakou, aia hoi, pii mai la ua kanaka koa la, no ko Pilisetia, o Golia kona inoa no Gata, mai ka poe kaua o ko Pilisetia mai, a olelo mai e like me kela olelo: a lohe o Davida.
24 Njalo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli athi embona lowomuntu ambalekela, esaba kakhulu.
A o na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a ike aku la lakou ia ia, holo lakou mai kona maka aku, a makau nui iho la.
25 Amadoda akoIsrayeli athi-ke: Limbonile lowana umuntu owenyukileyo yini? Ngoba wenyukele ukweyisa uIsrayeli. Kuzakuthi-ke indoda ezambulala, inkosi izayinothisa ngenotho enkulu, iyinike lendodakazi yayo, lendlu kayise izayenza ikhululeke koIsrayeli.
I mai la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, Ua ike anei oukou ia kanaka i pii mai ai? no ka mea, ua pii mai ia e aa i ka Iseraela: a o ke kanaka e pepehi ia ia, e hoolako mai ke alii ia ia i ka waiwai nui, a e haawi mai hoi i kana kaikamahine nana, a e hookaawale ae ia i ka hale o kona makuakane iwaena o ka Iseraela, aole e hookupu.
26 UDavida wasekhuluma emadodeni ayemi laye esithi: Kuzakwenziwani endodeni ebulala lumFilisti, isuse ihlazo koIsrayeli? Ngoba ungubani lumFilisti ongasokanga ukuthi aweyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo?
Olelo aku la o Davida i na kanaka e ku pu ana me ia, i aku la, Heaha ka mea e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka, nana e pepehi keia kanaka Pilisetia, a e lawe aku i ka hoino mai ka Iseraela aku? owai la keia Pilisetia i okipoepoe ole ia, i aa mai ai ia i ka poe kaua o ke Akua ola?
27 Abantu basebemphendula njengalelolizwi besithi: Kuzakwenziwa njalo endodeni embulalayo.
Olelo mai la na kanaka ia ia peneia, i mai la, Pela no e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka, nana ia e pepehi.
28 UEliyabi umnewabo omdala wezwa-ke lapho ekhuluma lamadoda; lentukuthelo kaEliyabi yavuthela uDavida, wathi: Wehleleleni lapha? Izimvu leziyana ezinlutshwana uzitshiye lobani egangeni? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziqhenya kwakho lobubi benhliziyo yakho; ngoba wehlele ukubona impi.
A lohe ae la o Eliaba kona kaikuaana i kana olelo ana'ku i na kanaka; a ua hoaia ka inaina o Eliaba ia Davida, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i hele mai ia nei? me wai la oe i waiho ai i hela poe hipa uuku ma ka waonahele? Ua ike au i kou haaheo, a me ka hewa o kou naau; no ka mea, ua hele mai oe e ike i ke kaua.
29 Kodwa uDavida wathi: Sengenzeni? Bekungasilizwi nje yini?
I aku la o Davida, Heaha ka'u i hana'i ano? Aole anei he kumu?
30 Wasemfulathela, waya komunye, wakhuluma laye njengokwalelolizwi; abantu basebebuyisela impendulo kuye njengelizwi lakuqala.
Huli ae la ia mai ona aku la i kekahi e ae, a olelo aku la e like me kela olelo; a i mai la na kanaka e like me mamua.
31 Lapho sebewezwile amazwi uDavida awakhulumayo, bawakhuluma phambi kukaSawuli; wasememukela.
A loheia na olelo a Davida i olelo ai, hai aku la lakou imua o Saula; a kii aku la oia ia ia.
32 UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kakungehluleki inhliziyo yomuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho izahamba iyekulwa lalowomFilisti.
I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Mai hookaumahaia ka naau o kekahi kanaka nona; e hele no kau kauwa e kaua pu me ua kanaka Pilisetia la.
33 Kodwa uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ungeke waya kulumFilisti ukulwa laye; ngoba wena ungumfana, yena-ke uyindoda yempi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe.
I mai la o Saula ia Davida, Aole e hiki ia oe ke hele ku e i keia kanaka Pilisetia, e kaua pu me ia: no ka mea, he opiopio oe, aka oia, he kanaka koa ia mai kona wa opiopio mai.
34 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Inceku yakho yayiselusa izimvu zikayise; lapho kwafika isilwane lebhere, kwathatha imvu emhlanjini,
I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Ua malama kau kauwa i na hipa o kona makuakane, a hele mai la ka liona, a me ka bea, a lawe aku i kekahi keikihipa no ka poe hipa.
35 ngaphuma ngakulandela, ngakutshaya, ngayikhulula emlonyeni wakho; lapho kungivukela, ngakubamba ngendevu, ngakutshaya, ngakubulala.
Hahai aku la au ia ia, a pepehi ia ia, a hoopakele ia mea mai kona waha mai; a i kona ku e mai ia'u, lalau aku la au i kona umiumi, a pepehi iho la ia ia, a make ia ia'u.
36 Inceku yakho yabulala kokubili isilwane lebhere; lalo umFilisti ongasokanga uzakuba njengokunye kwakho, lokhu eyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
A o ka liona a me ka bea, ua make laua a elua i kau kauwa: a o keia Pilisetia okipoepoe ole ia, e like auanei ia me kekahi o laua, no kona aa ana i ka poe kaua o ke Akua ola.
37 UDavida wathi futhi: INkosi eyangophula kuzipho lwesilwane lakuzipho lwebhere, yona izangophula esandleni salo umFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, leNkosi kayibe lawe.
I aku la hoi o Davida, O Iehova, ka mea nana au i hoopakele mai ka wawae aku o ka liona, a mai ka wawae aku o ka bea, nana no au e hoopakele mai ka lima aku o keia kanaka Pilisetia. I mai la o Saula ia Davida, O hele, o Iehova pu kekahi me oe.
38 USawuli wasegqokisa uDavida izigqoko zakhe, wafaka ikhowa lethusi ekhanda lakhe, wamgqokisa ibhatshi lensimbi.
Hoaahu aku la o Saula ia Davida i kona aahu kaua, a kau aku la i ka mahiole keleawe ma kona poo, a hookomo ia ia i ka puliki koa.
39 UDavida wasebhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezigqoko zakhe, walinga ukuhamba, ngoba wayengakuzamanga. UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kangilakho ukuhamba ngilalezizinto ngoba kangizizamanga. UDavida wasezikhumula kuye.
Kaei iho la o Davida i kana pahikaua maluna o na mea kaua, a manao iho la e hele; aka, no ka hoao ole ia, i aku la o Davida ia Saula, Aole au e hiki ke hele me keia mau mea; no ka mea, aole au i hoao. Kala ae la o Davida ia mau mea mai ona aku la.
40 Wasethatha umqwayi wakhe esandleni sakhe, wazikhethela amatshe amahlanu abutshelezi esifuleni, wawafaka esikhwameni sikamelusi ayelaso, ngitsho emxhakeni, lesavutha sakhe sasisesandleni sakhe, wasesondela kumFilisti.
Lawe aku la ia i kona kookoo ma kona lima, ohi iho la ia i na ala elima no ke kahawai, a hahao iloko o ke kieko kahuhipa nona, a iloko o ka aa; a ma kona lima kana maa: a hookokoke aku la ia i ke kanaka Pilisetia.
41 UmFilisti wasehamba waya wasondela kuDavida; lomuntu ophethe isihlangu esikhulu wayephambi kwakhe.
A hele mai ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hookokoke mai ia Davida, a imua ona ke kanaka nana i hali ka palekaua.
42 Kwathi umFilisti ekhangela ebona uDavida, wameyisa; ngoba wayengumfana njalo ebomvana elobuso obubukekayo.
Nana ae la ke kanaka Pilisetia, a ike mai la ia Davida, hoowahawaha mai la ia ia; no ka mea, he opiopio oia, a he ehu, a maikai ke nana aku.
43 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi wena uze kimi ulezinduku? UmFilisti wasemqalekisa uDavida ngabonkulunkulu bakhe.
I mai la ke kanaka Pilisetia ia Davida, He ilio anei wau, i hele mai oe io'u nei me ke kookoo? A hoino mai la ke kanaka Pilisetia ia Davida ma kona mau akua.
44 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Woza kimi, ngizanika inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zeganga inyama yakho.
I mai la ka Pilisetia ia Davida, E hele mai io'u nei, a e haawi aku au i kou io i na manu o ka lewa, a me na holoholona o ke kula.
45 UDavida wasesithi kumFilisti: Wena uza kimi ulenkemba, lomkhonto, lomdikadika; kodwa mina ngiza kuwe ngebizo leNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wamaviyo akoIsrayeli omeyisileyo.
I aku la o Davida i ka Pilisetia, Ke hele mai la oe io'u nei me ka pahikaua, a me ka ihe, a me ka palekaua: aka owau, ke hele aku nei au iou la ma ka inoa o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ko Iseraela poe kaua au i aa mai ai.
46 Lamuhla iNkosi izakuvalela esandleni sami, ngizakutshaya, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; nginike lamuhla inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti, ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu koIsrayeli.
I keia la, e haawi mai o Iehova ia oe iloko o kuu lima, a e pepehi aku au ia oe, a e lawe aku au i kou poo mai ou aku la; a e haawi aku au i keia la i na kupapau o ko Pilisetia poe kaua na na manu o ka lewa, a na na holoholona o ka honua; i ike ai ko ka honua a pau, he Akua no iloko o ka Iseraela.
47 Lalelibandla lonke lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi kayisindisi ngenkemba langomkhonto; ngoba impi ngeyeNkosi, njalo izalinikela esandleni sethu.
A e ike keia ahakanaka a pau, aole e hoola mai o Iehova me ka pahikaua, a me ka ihe: no ka mea, no Iehova ke kaua, a e haawi mai oia ia oe iloko o ko makou lima.
48 Kwasekusithi lapho umFilisti esukuma ehamba esondela ukuhlangabeza uDavida, uDavida wasephangisa wagijimela ngaseviyweni ukuhlangana lomFilisti.
A i ka wa i ku ae ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hele, a hookokoke e halawai me Davida, lalelale iho la o Davida, a holo aku la i ka poe kaua e halawai me ua kanaka Pilisetia la.
49 UDavida wasefaka isandla sakhe esikhwameni, wakhupha khona ilitshe, walijikijela, wamtshaya umFilisti ebunzini lakhe ilitshe laze latshona ebunzini lakhe, wawela emhlabathini ngobuso bakhe.
A hou iho la o Davida i kona lima iloko o ka aa, a lawe mai i kekahi ala, a maa aku la, a pa aku la i ka lae o ka Pilisetia, a komo iho la ka ala iloko o kona lae, haule iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo ke alo.
50 Ngalokho uDavida wamehlula umFilisti ngesavutha langelitshe, wamtshaya umFilisti, wambulala; kodwa kwakungelankemba esandleni sikaDavida.
A lanakila o Davida maluna o ka Pilisetia me ka maa a me ka ala, a pepehi aku la i ka Pilisetia, a make ia; aole nae he pahikaua ma ka lima o Davida.
51 Ngakho uDavida wagijima wema phezu komFilisti, wathatha inkemba yakhe, wayihwatsha esikhwameni sayo, wambulala, waquma ikhanda lakhe ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo selifile, abaleka.
A holo aku la o Davida, a ku maluna o ke kanaka Pilisetia, a lalau iho i kana pahikaua, a unuhi ae mai loko mai o kona wahi, a pepehi iho la, a oki aku la i kona poo me ia. A ike ae la ko Pilisetia poe, ua make ko lakou kanaka koa, auhee lakou.
52 Lamadoda akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda asukuma amemeza, axotshana lamaFilisti uze uyefika esigodini lemasangweni eEkhironi. Labalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawela endleleni yeShaharayimi kuze kube seGathi njalo kuze kube seEkhironi.
Ku ae la na kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda, hooho aku la, a alualu i ko Pilisetia, a hiki ma ke awawa, a ma na ipuka o Ekerona: a haule iho la na mea eha o na Pilisetia ma ke ala o Saaraima, a hiki i Gata a me Ekerona.
53 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebephenduka ekuxotshaneni ngamandla lamaFilisti, baphanga inkamba zawo.
A hoi aku la na mamo a Iseraela mai ke alualu ana i ko Pilisetia, a hao ae la i na halelewa o lakou.
54 UDavida wasethatha ikhanda lomFilisti, waliletha eJerusalema; kodwa wabeka izikhali zakhe ethenteni lakhe.
Lawe o Davida i ke poo o ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hali aku la ia mea ma Ierusalema, a waiho aku la ia i kana mea kaua ma kona halelewa.
55 Lapho uSawuli ebona uDavida ephuma ukuyahlangabeza umFilisti, wathi kuAbhineri induna yebutho: Uyindodana kabani lumfana Abhineri? UAbhineri wasesithi: Kuphila komphefumulo wakho, nkosi, kangazi.
A ike aku la o Saula i ko Davida hele ana e halawai me ke kanaka Pilisetia, ninau aku la oia ia Abenera, i ka luna o ke kaua, E Abenera e, he keiki nawai keia kanaka opiopio? I mai la o Abenera, Ma ke ola o kou uhane, e ke alii, aole au i ike.
56 Inkosi yasisithi: Buza wena ukuthi liyindodana kabani lelijaha.
I aku la ke alii, E ninau aku oe i ka mea nana keia kanaka opiopio.
57 Lapho uDavida esephendukile ekubulaleni umFilisti, uAbhineri wamthatha, wamusa phambi kukaSawuli elekhanda lomFilisti esandleni sakhe.
A i ko Davida hoi ana, mai ka pepehi ana i ke kanaka no ko Pilisetia, lawe aku la o Abenera ia ia, a alakai aku la ia ia imua o Saula, me ke poo o ke kanaka Pilisetia ma kona lima.
58 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Uyindodana kabani, jaha? UDavida wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yenceku yakho uJese umBhethelehema.
Ninau aku la o Saula, E ke kanaka opiopio, he keiki oe nawai? I mai la o Davida, He keiki au na kau kauwa, na Iese no Betelehema.
