1 Kwasekusithi eseqedile ukukhuluma loSawuli, umphefumulo kaJonathani wabotshelwa emphefumulweni kaDavida; uJonathani wasemthanda njengomphefumulo wakhe.
Ke tari sramsram lal Saul ac David, na Jonathan, wen natul Saul, el mutawauk in arulana lungse David. Lungse lal Jonathan nu sel David arulana yohk, oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
2 USawuli wasemthatha ngalolosuku, kaze amvumela ukubuyela endlini kayise.
Mutawauk ke len sac fahla, Saul el sap David elan mutana yorol ac tia fuhlella elan som nu yen sel ah.
3 UJonathani loDavida basebesenza isivumelwano ngoba wamthanda njengomphefumulo wakhe.
Jonathan el orala fulahk lal tuh el David ac fah kawuk nwe tok, mweyen el lungse David na pwaye.
4 UJonathani wasezikhulula ibhatshi ayeligqokile, walinika uDavida, lezembatho zakhe, kuze kube senkembeni yakhe, kuze kube sedandilini lakhe, njalo kuze kube sebhantini lakhe.
Jonathan el sarukla nuknuk lal ac sang nu sel David, wi nuknuk in mweun lal, ac cutlass natul, ac pisr natul, ac pel lal.
5 UDavida wasephuma waya loba ngaphi lapho uSawuli amthuma khona, waziphatha ngenhlakanipho, uSawuli waze wambeka phezu kwamadoda empi. Njalo wayelungile emehlweni abantu bonke njalo lemehlweni ezinceku zikaSawuli.
Ma nukewa Saul el supwal David nu kac el orala ke insianaung ac wo ouiya. Ke ma inge Saul el oru tuh David elan sie mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal, ac mwet pwapa ac mwet kulansap nukewa lal Saul elos insewowo kacl.
6 Kwasekusithi ekufikeni kwabo, uDavida esebuye ekubulaleni umFilisti, abesifazana baphuma emizini yonke yakoIsrayeli, behlabela, begida, ukuhlangabeza uSawuli inkosi ngezigubhu, ngentokozo, langamachacho.
Ke David el foloko tukun el unilya Goliath, ac ke mwet mweun elos wi pac foloko nu yen selos, mutan in siti nukewa in acn Israel elos tuku in paingul Tokosra Saul. Elos engan ac on, ac elos tacn ac srital ke mwe srital tambourine ac lyre.
7 Abesifazana basebevumelana bedlala bathi: USawuli utshayile izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida izinkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi.
Kutu kas ke on in kaksak lalos an fahk ouinge, “Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.”
8 USawuli wasethukuthela kakhulu, lalelolizwi lalilibi emehlweni akhe, wathi: Banike uDavida izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi, kodwa mina banginika izinkulungwane; usesalelwe ngumbuso kuphela.
Saul el tia lungse kas inge, ac el mutawauk in kasrkusrak. El fahk, “Mwet uh fahk mu David el uniya ngoul tausin a nga tausin na. Ac tia paht na elos ac oru David elan tokosra!”
9 USawuli wasemqaphela uDavida kusukela kulolosuku kusiya phambili.
In len sac me, Saul el sok ac sensen na sel David.
10 Kwasekusithi kusisa umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu wafika ngamandla phezu kukaSawuli, waprofetha phakathi kwendlu; uDavida wasetshaya ichacho ngesandla sakhe njengensuku ngensuku; njalo kwakulomkhonto esandleni sikaSawuli.
In len tok ah, sie ngun koluk sin God me sifil sikyang nu sel Saul, ac el kasrkusrak ac kunaus lohm sel oana mwet wel se. David el muta srital ke harp, oana ke el muta oru len nukewa. Ac Saul el sruok osra soko inpaol.
11 USawuli wasewuphosa umkhonto wathi: Ngizammbandakanya uDavida ngitsho emdulini. Kodwa uDavida wavika kabili esuka phambi kwakhe.
Saul el sifacna nunku insial, “Nga ac faksilya David nu ke pesinka in lohm uh.” Na el faksel David ke osra soko ah pacl luo, a David el iwalla kewa.
12 USawuli wayemesaba-ke uDavida ngoba iNkosi yayilaye, kodwa yayisisukile kuSawuli.
Saul el sangeng sel David mweyen LEUM GOD El welul David a El som lukel Saul.
13 Ngakho uSawuli wasemsusa kuye, wambeka waba yinduna yakhe yabayizinkulungwane; njalo wayephuma engena phambi kwabantu.
Na Saul el supwalla David ac sapkin tuh elan mwet kol fin sie tausin mwet mweun. David el kol mwet lal inge nu ke mweun,
14 UDavida waseziphatha ngenhlakanipho endleleni zakhe zonke, leNkosi yayilaye.
ac wo ouiyen ma nukewa el oru, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul.
15 Lapho uSawuli ebona ukuthi waziphatha ngenhlakanipho enkulu, wamesaba.
Ke Saul el liye lah David el orala ma nukewa wo, el sifil sangeng sel yohk liki meet.
16 Kodwa uIsrayeli wonke loJuda bamthanda uDavida, ngoba wayephuma engena phambi kwabo.
Tusruktu mwet nukewa in Israel ac Judah elos lungse David ke sripen el mwet kol na wowo se.
17 USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Khangela, indodakazi yami endala uMerabi, ngizakunika yona ibe ngumkakho; kuphela bana liqhawe kimi, ulwe izimpi zeNkosi. Ngoba uSawuli wathi: Isandla sami kasingabi phezu kwakhe, kodwa isandla samaFilisti kasibe phezu kwakhe.
Na Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Acn se nutik ma matu pa inge. El pa Merab. Nga ac eisalot tuh elan mutan kiom. Tuh ma se na, wulela nu sik lah kom ac fah kulansupweyu ke pwaye ac pulaik, oayapa kom fah mweun ke mweun lun LEUM GOD.” (Saul el oru nunak se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David, ac in tia el pa sifacna unilya.)
18 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Ngingubani mina? Lempilo yami iyini, losendo lukababa koIsrayeli, ukuthi ngibe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi?
Ac David el fahk, “Ku su nga uh, ac su sou luk uh, ku nga in wen talupan tokosra?”
19 Kodwa kwathi ngesikhathi uMerabi indodakazi kaSawuli ayezanikwa ngaso uDavida, wayesenikwe uAdriyeli umMehola ukuba ngumkakhe.
Tusruktu, ke pacl fal tuh Merab elan itukyang nu sel David, Saul el eisalang nu sin sie pacna mukul pangpang Adriel, sie mwet Meholah.
20 UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wamthanda-ke uDavida; basebemtshela uSawuli, lalolodaba lwaluqondile emehlweni akhe.
Sie pac acn natul Saul uh pa Michal, ac el lungse David. Ke Saul el lohng, el engan kac.
21 USawuli wasesithi: Ngizamnika yena ukuze abe ngumjibila kuye, lokuze isandla samaFilisti simelane laye. Ngakho uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ngokwesibili uzakuba ngumkhwenyana wami lamuhla.
El sifacna fahk insial, “Nga ac eisalang Michal kial David. Nga fah oru tuh elan sie mwe kwasrip nu sel David, ac David el ac fah anwuki sin mwet Philistia.” Pa inge pacl se akluo Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Kom ac fah wen talupuk.”
22 USawuli waselaya inceku zakhe wathi: Khulumani loDavida ngensitha lithi: Khangela, inkosi iyathokoza ngawe, lazo zonke inceku zayo ziyakuthanda; ngakho-ke woba ngumkhwenyana wenkosi.
Ac Saul el sap mwet pwapa lal in som sramsram lukma nu sel David ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra el insewowo sum, ac mwet pwapa nukewa elos lungse kom. Inge pacl na wo nu sum tuh kom in payukyak sin acn se natul tokosra.”
23 Izinceku zikaSawuli zasezikhuluma lawomazwi endlebeni zikaDavida. UDavida wasesithi: Kuyinto elula yini emehlweni enu ukuba ngumkhwenyana wenkosi, lokhu mina ngingumuntu ongumyanga lodelelekayo?
Na mwet inge elos fahkang kas se inge nu sel David. Ac David el topuk, “Tia ma pilasr se tuh sie mwet in payuk sin acn nutin tokosra. Sie mwet lusrongten ac sukasrup oana nga, ac tuh arulana kupansuwol.”
24 Lenceku zikaSawuli zamtshela zisithi: UDavida wakhuluma ngalindlela.
Na mwet pwapa elos tafweang kas lal David inge nu sel Saul,
25 USawuli wasesithi: Lizakutsho njalo kuDavida lithi: Inkosi kayiloyisi lobolo, kodwa amajwabu aphambili alikhulu amaFilisti, ukuze kuphindiselwe ezitheni zenkosi. Kodwa uSawuli wacabanga ukwenza uDavida awe ngesandla samaFilisti.
ac Saul el sapkin tuh elos in fahkang nu sel David, “Pwayena ma tokosra el enenu sum in sang moli acn se natul ah, pa kulun ma lun mukul siofok ma misa lun mwet Philistia, tuh in mwe foloksak lal nu sin mwet lokoalok lal.” (Saul el oru pwapa lukma se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David.)
26 Lapho inceku zakhe zimtshela uDavida lawomazwi, udaba lwalulungile emehlweni kaDavida ukuthi abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi. Kodwa insuku zazingakagcwaliseki.
Ke mwet pwapa lal Saul elos fahkang kas lal inge nu sel David, na David el engan lah el ac wen talupal tokosra. Meet liki len in marut,
27 Ngakho uDavida wasukuma wahamba, yena labantu bakhe, basebetshaya phakathi kwamaFilisti amadoda angamakhulu amabili; uDavida waseletha amajwabu awo aphambili, wawasa enkosini ephelele ukuze abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi. USawuli wasemnika uMikhali indodakazi yakhe ukuthi abe ngumkakhe.
David el eis mwet lal som ac uniya mwet Philistia luofoko. El eisla kulun ma mukul kaclos ac usla nu yorol tokosra, ac oakla nufon ye mutal in akfalye tuh elan wen talupal. Ke ma inge, Saul el enenu na elan eisalang Michal, acn natul, tuh elan payuk sel David.
28 USawuli wasebona wazi ukuthi iNkosi iloDavida, loMikhali indodakazi yakhe yamthanda.
Saul el akilen na lah LEUM GOD El welul David, oayapa el akilen lah Michal, acn natul, el lungse David.
29 Njalo uSawuli waya lokhu emesaba kakhulu uDavida; njalo uSawuli waba yisitha sikaDavida zonke izinsuku.
Ke ma inge, Saul el arulana sangeng sel David yohk liki meet, ac el mwet lokoalok lal David in lusen moul lal tok nufon.
30 Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zaseziphuma; kwasekusithi seziphumile uDavida waziphatha ngenhlakanipho okwedlula zonke izinceku zikaSawuli, laze laduma kakhulu ibizo lakhe.
Ke un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos ac tuku mweun, pacl nukewa David el ac kutangulosla yohk liki na mwet kol saya lal Saul uh. Ke sripa se inge, David el mutawauk in arulana pwengpeng.
