1 UDavida wasebaleka esuka eNayothi eRama, wafika wathi phambi kukaJonathani: Ngenzeni? Isiphambeko sami siyini? Lesono sami siyini phambi kukayihlo ukuze adinge umphefumulo wami?
David chu Ramah gam'a Naioth a konin ajamdoh’in, Jonathan kom ajonin, “Ipi kabol’a, Ipi kabol khel hitam? Itobang gitlouna ipi um’a napan tha dinga eihol le le ham?” ati.
2 Wasesithi kuye: Kakube khatshana! Kawusoze ufe; khangela, ubaba kenzi ulutho olukhulu loba ulutho oluncinyane engakuvezi endlebeni yami. Pho, ubaba uzayifihlelani kimi linto? Kayisikho.
Jonathan in, “Hichu dihlou ahi, nangma thipon nate, abol ding jouse thilneo hihen lang thil len hijongleh kei hetlouvin ima abolji poi, eihetsah jinai. Kapan hitobang thil hohi, kakoma aselguh louhel ding ahi,” tin ana nelkal in ahi.
3 UDavida wasefunga futhi wathi: Uyihlo uyakwazi lokwazi ukuthi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho; ngakho uthi: UJonathani kangakwazi hlezi abe losizi. Kodwa ngeqiniso, kuphila kukaJehova njalo kuphila komphefumulo wakho, kukhona inyathelo nje phakathi kwami lokufa.
Chuin David in Jonathan masang ah akihahsellin, “Napan iki golngai lhon hi kichentah’a ahetsoh kei ahi, hijeh chun amale ama akihouvin, Jonathan hetsah da tange, ipibolla alung kasuhnat ding ham? Ahinlah hingjing Pakai le nangma min pana kasei ahi keima le thina kikah hi kal khat seh bou uma ahi!” ati.
4 UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida: Lokho umphefumulo wakho okuloyisayo, ngizakwenzela khona.
Jonathan in, “Ipi ti kakithopi thei ding ham neiseipeh in,” ati.
5 UDavida wasesithi kuJonathani: Khangela, kusasa yikuthwasa kwenyanga; mina-ke ngifanele ukuhlala lokuhlala ukuthi ngidle lenkosi; kodwa ngiyekela ngihambe ngiyecatsha egangeni kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu kusihlwa.
David in adonbut in, “Jing nikho hi lhathah kut ahin, lengpa to ankong umkhom dingdol kahi, ahin keima jing nikho tengle loulaiya kakisela hichea chu nithum chan na nilhah tokah’a kaumden ding ahi,” ati.
6 Uba uyihlo engiswela lokungiswela, uzakuthi: UDavida ungicelile lokungicela ukuthi agijimele eBhethelehema umuzi wakibo; ngoba kukhona lapho umhlatshelo weminyaka ngeminyaka owenzelwe usendo lonke.
“Napan hoiya che ham tia nahin doh’a ahileh, Bethlehem ain’ah kumseh kilhaina bol dingin kakom ah phalna athum’in ache’e tin seipeh in,” ati.
7 Uba esitsho njalo: Kulungile; inceku yakho izakuba lokuthula. Kodwa uba ethukuthela lokuthukuthela, yazi ukuthi ububi buqondwe nguye.
“Aman ‘Aphai!’ atia ahileh, thu anome ti nahet ding ahi. Ahinlah alung ahanna alung alhaso khah’a ahile, eithanom ahi ti nahet ding ahi.
8 Ngakho yenzela inceku yakho umusa, ngoba ulethe inceku yakho esivumelwaneni seNkosi lawe. Kodwa uba kulesiphambeko kimi, ngibulala wena; ngoba uzangiselani kuyihlo?
Lungset tah in hiti chun neibolpeh in, thengsel’a kahenga Pakai ang’a nakitepna nit’in. amavang napa douna a themmo kahile nangmatah’in neithat jengin. Ahinlah nei joulhep hih beh in,” ati.
9 UJonathani wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami! Ngoba uba bengisazi lokwazi ukuthi ububi buqondwe ngubaba ukuthi bukwehlele, mina bengingayikukutshela yini?
Jonathan in, “Hitobang chu agel in geldan, kapan chutobang’a nangma tha nading lunggel neocha hijongle anei mong’a ahile, nang kahin mahetsah tei ding ahi,” ati.
10 UDavida wasesithi kuJonathani: Ngubani ozangitshela uba uyihlo ekuphendula ngolaka?
Chuin David in, “Napa alunghang’e ahiloule alunghang poi tichu ken iti kahet thei ding ham?” tin adong in ahi.
11 UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida: Woza siphume siye emmangweni. Basebephuma bobabili besiya emmangweni.
Jonathan in adonbut’in, “Hungin loulai langa khun gapotdoh hite,” ati. Chule polam’ah akijotdoh khom lhonin ahi.
12 UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida: INkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, lapho sengimhlolile ubaba phose ngalesisikhathi kusasa loba ngomhlomunye, uba, khangela, kukuhle kuDavida, uba ngingathumeli kuwe ngalesosikhathi ngikuveze endlebeni yakho,
Chuti chun Jonathan in David komah, “Pakai Israel Pathen chu ahettohsah hijeng hen! Keiman jing tuphat don ahilouleh nithum joutengle, kappa dongin katin, nachung alungdam nah le thu kahin thot ding,
13 kayenze njalo iNkosi kuJonathani, langokunjalo yengezelele. Uba ububi phezu kwakho bulungile kubaba, ngizakuveza endlebeni yakho, ngikuyekele uhambe ukuze uhambe ngokuthula. Njalo iNkosi ibe lawe njengoba yayilobaba.
“Ahinlah ijem tia kappa alunghan’a nangma tha tei ding nagot’a, nangma na hindohtei tei nadinga keiman nahenga kaseipeh masat’a kasolmang lou poupouva ahileh Pakaiyin Jonathan kiti keima hi eibolsejo hen ahilou jongle eithat jeng hen. Pakaiyin kapa ana umpi bangin nang jong naumpi hen,” ati.
14 Kawuyikungenzela yini umusa weNkosi, ngitsho, nxa ngisaphila, ukuze ngingafi,
“Neingailut monga ahileh, kahinkho aumlai sungsen Pakai ngailutna sangtah in nei ngailun. Ahinlah kathia ahileh,
15 kodwa kawuyikuquma umusa wakho usuke endlini yami kuze kube phakade, njalo hatshi lapho iNkosi isiziqumile izitha zikaDavida, zisuke ngulowo lalowo ebusweni bomhlaba.
Kainsung mite din tahsan umtah ngailutna sangtah in hin ngailun chule Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse jong leiset a konin suhmang gamkei hen,” ati.
16 Ngokunjalo uJonathani wenza isivumelwano lendlu kaDavida, esithi: INkosi kayikubize esandleni sezitha zikaDavida.
Hijeh chun Jonathan in David toh kitepna khat asemin, “Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse asugam keihen!” ati.
17 UJonathani wasephinda wamfungisa uDavida ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe; ngoba wayemthanda njengoba ethanda umphefumulo wakhe.
Chule Jonathan in David chu ama aki ngailut bang banga angailut jeh chun, David in jong angailut din akitepsah kit tan ahi.
18 UJonathani wasesithi kuye: Kusasa yikuthwasa kwenyanga, njalo uzaswelwa ngoba isihlalo sakho sizakuba size.
Chuin Jonathan in, “Jing nikho le lhathah kut kimang ding ahin, natouna dokhang a-on jeh’a nakiholmo ding ahi,” ati.
19 Usuhlale insuku ezintathu uzakwehla masinyane, uze endaweni owacatsha khona ngosuku lwendaba leyo, uzahlala eduze lamatshe e-Ezeli.
“Athaini nilhah lam leh, tumasanga nakiselji na mun songpi pang mama’a chun che in lang gakisel tan.
20 Mina-ke ngizatshoka imitshoko emithathu eceleni, kungathi ngitshoka ibala.
Chule keima kahungdoh’a doikhat neibanga, thalchang thum hiche panga chu kahinkap ding ahi,” ati.
21 Khangela-ke, ngizathuma umfana ngithi: Hamba uyeyidinga imitshoko. Uba ngisithi lokuthi emfaneni: Khangela, imitshoko inganeno kwakho, ithathe, ubuye; ngoba kulokuthula kuwe, njalo kakulandaba, kuphila kukaJehova!
“Chule chapang khat thal chang ho hol ding’a kahinsol ding ahi. Chule chapangpa jah’a, ‘Ven, thalchang ho chu nasihlam panga naume,’ tia kasei najah a ahile, hing jing Pakai mina kasei ahi, abonchan aphasoh keiye, imacha hahsatna aumpoi.
22 Kodwa uba ngisitsho njalo ejaheni: Khangela, imitshoko ingale kwakho; hamba ngoba iNkosi ikuyekele uhambe.
Amavang keiman amajah’a, “Gamla jepmah chen, thal chang chu nakhel lamah aume, katia ahile, nalampia gangtah’in che jeng in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nasolmang ahi,” ti hetna ahi,” ati.
23 Mayelana lendaba esikhulume ngayo mina lawe, khangela, iNkosi iphakathi kwami lawe kuze kube nininini.
“Chule Pakai ahettohsah ahijeh'in, ikitepna vang chu Pakaiyin tonsot geiya einitsah teitei lhon hen,” ati
24 Ngakho uDavida wasecatsha emmangweni. Isithwasile inyanga, inkosi yahlala ekudleni ukuze idle.
Hitichun David chu loulaiyah akisellin, chule lhathah kut kiman na ahunglhun phat in, Lengpa chu, anne dingin atou lhatan ahi.
25 Inkosi yasihlala esihlalweni sayo njengezikhathi ngezikhathi, esihlalweni eduze lomduli; uJonathani wasesukuma, loAbhineri wahlala eceleni kukaSawuli; kodwa indawo kaDavida yayize.
Chule lengpa chu nidanga bangin bangkoma touna chunga chun atouvin ahi. Jonathan toh akimai ngatton, chule Abner asih-lang ah atouve. Ahin David touna chu a-ongtai.
26 Kodwa uSawuli katshongo lutho ngalolosuku; ngoba wathi: Okuthile kumehlele; kahlambulukanga, isibili kahlambulukanga.
Ahinlah Saul in hicheni chun imacha aseipoi, ajeh chu ama chunga thil thenglou khattou David asuhboh hinte, tia alunggel ahi.
27 Kwasekusithi kusisa, ngolwesibili lokuthwasa kwenyanga, indawo kaDavida yayize. USawuli wasesithi kuJonathani indodana yakhe: Kungani indodana kaJese ingezanga ekudleni ngitsho izolo lalamuhla?
Ahinlah, ajinga jong David touna a-on kit phat in, Saul in Jonathan jah’a, “Ipi jeh’a Jesse chapa janhia jong tunia jong hunglou hitam?” tin adongtai.
28 UJonathani wasephendula uSawuli wathi: UDavida wangicela lokungicela ukuthi aye eBhethelehema.
Jonathan in, “David in Bethlehem a cheding in hatah in kakoma phalna athumin,
29 Wasesithi: Akungivumele ukuthi ngihambe; ngoba usendo lwakwethu lulomhlatshelo emzini, lomfowethu ungilayile. Khathesi-ke uba ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ake ngikhululeke ukuthi ngiyebona abafowethu. Ngenxa yalokho kezanga etafuleni lenkosi.
Aman, ‘Lungset tah in, neichesah in, ajeh chu kainsung miten kumseh a kho sunga gan kilhaina kaneidiu ahin, chule kasopi te hotoh jong kakimupi nom’e, tin ataovin ahi. Hijeh a chu lengpa dokhang’a atouna ong’ah ahi,” atin ahi.
30 Khona intukuthelo kaSawuli yamvuthela uJonathani, wathi kuye: Ndodana yomfazi owonakeleyo lovukelayo! Kangazi yini ukuthi uyikhethile indodana kaJese, kube lihlazo lakho, njalo kube lihlazo lobunqunu bukanyoko?
Chuin Jonathan chunga Saul alunghang behseh jengin, “Numei chaveinu chapa!” tin lunghang tah’in ahousen ahi. “Nalunggel hohi ken kahetlouva nagel ham? Nakhella lenga natungot ham? Nangma le nanu jumso pa,” ati.
31 Ngoba zonke izinsuku indodana kaJese iphila emhlabeni, kawuyikuma wena lombuso wakho. Ngakho-ke thuma umlethe kimi, ngoba uyindodana yokufa.
“Jesse chapa David ahinlai sungsen, nang leng’in pang theipon nate. Tun chenlang gaholdoh in katha ding ahi,” ati.
32 UJonathani wasephendula uSawuli uyise wathi kuye: Uzabulawelwani? Wenzeni?
Jonathan in, “Ipijeh’a kithat ding ham? Aman ipi abolset ham?” tin apa adongin ahi.
33 USawuli wasephosa umkhonto kuye ukumtshaya. Ngalokho uJonathani wakwazi ukuthi kwakuqondwe nguyise ukumbulala uDavida.
Chuin Saul in achapa Jonathan chu thadingin tengchan akho jeng in ahi. Hichea kon chun Jonathan in jong apan David thading’a agot mong ahi tichu ahedoh tai.
34 Ngakho uJonathani wasuka etafuleni ekuvutheni kwentukuthelo, njalo kadlanga ukudla ngosuku lwesibili lokuthwasa kwenyanga, ngoba wayedabukile ngoDavida, ngoba uyise emyangisile.
Hichun Jonathan chu lunghang tah’in dokhang akonin akipatdoh in, apan ajachat sah behseh jeh chun chuche kut ni ni lhin nichun an ane tapoi, David chu alungkhampi lheh tan ahi.
35 Kwasekusithi ekuseni uJonathani waphuma waya emmangweni ngesikhathi esimisiweyo loDavida, lomfanyana elaye.
Ajing jingkah in David toh akitepna bangin, Jonathan chu chapang khat toh apotdoh lhon in, loujaova chun ache lhontai.
36 Wasesithi emfaneni wakhe: Gijima, ake udinge imitshoko engiyitshokayo. Umfana wagijima, yena wasetshoka umtshoko ukuze umedlule.
Chuin aman chapangpa jah’a chun “ka kapgot thalchang hohi gaholdoh in,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chu alhaijel in ahile, Jonathan in akal langpeh a thalchang chu akap’in ahi.
37 Lapho umfana esefikile endaweni yomtshoko uJonathani awutshokileyo, uJonathani wamemeza emva komfana wathi: Umtshoko kawuphambi kwakho yini?
Chuin chapangpa chu Jonathan in akapdoh thalchang kom aphah phat ding konin, Jonathan in chapangpa jah-a, “Thalchang chu akal langpeh’ah achubouve,” atin ahi.
38 Njalo uJonathani wamemeza emva komfana wathi: Phangisa, ukhawuleze, ungemi. Umfana kaJonathani waseyiqoqa imitshoko, wabuya enkosini yakhe.
Jonathanin chapangpa chu asamin, “Hikoma chun dingden hih in, agang gangin hinchoi loiyin,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chun thalchangho chu achom khomin, apu henga ahungtai.
39 Kodwa umfana wayengazi lutho, kuphela uJonathani loDavida babelwazi udaba.
Ahinlah chapangpa chun imacha ahepon, Jonathan le David in bou thil kibolho chu ahet lhon ahi.
40 UJonathani wasenika umfana owayelaye izikhali zakhe, wathi kuye: Hamba, uzise emzini.
Chuin Jonathan in amanchah ho chu chapangpa apen, chenlang khopi sungah anapolut in tin asoltai.
41 Esehambile umfana, uDavida wasukuma ngaseningizimu, wathi mbo ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini, wakhothama kathathu; basebesangana, bakhala inyembezi omunye lomunye, uDavida waze wedlulisa.
Chuin chapangpa apotdoh doh in, songlhuh pang’a akiselna a konin David chu ahung potdoh'in, thumveijen tollah amai asulut in Jonathan maiyah akunin, anilhon in amitlhipum in akikolto lhonin ana kivailhah lhon tai. Hichu Jonathan sangin David apona dehset in ahi.
42 UJonathani wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba ngokuthula; lokhu esikufunge sobabili ngebizo leNkosi, sisithi: INkosi ibe phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwenzalo yami lenzalo yakho, kakube kuze kube nininini. Wasesukuma wahamba, loJonathani waya emzini.
Jonathan in David komah, “Lungmong’in chetan, Pakai mina thengsel’a ikihahsel lhon nang le kei, na chilhahte le keiya din, ikitepna chu tonsot geiyin Pakaiyin eikoi jing u hen,” ati. Hichun David in adalhan, chule Jonathan jong khopi lam’ah akile kittai.
