4 Wasebaletha phambi kwenkosi yakoMowabi, basebehlala layo insuku zonke uDavida esenqabeni.

5 Umprofethi uGadi wasesithi kuDavida: Ungahlali enqabeni; hamba wena ngena elizweni lakoJuda. UDavida wasehamba wangena eguswini leHerethi.

Hianagi mago zupa kasnampa ne' Gati'a Devitina asamino, Kagra ama have kana atrenka Juda kaziga vuo. Higeno Deviti'a anampintira atreno Hereti zafafi vu'ne.

6 USawuli wasesizwa ukuthi uDavida uyaziwa labantu ababelaye. USawuli wayehlezi eGibeya ngaphansi kwesihlahla setamarisiki eRama, elomkhonto esandleni sakhe, lazo zonke inceku zakhe zazimi laye.

Hagi mago zupa Soli'a Gibea agonare tamaris zafamofo tonapinka keve'a erineno mani'nege'za, eri'za vahe'amo'za manigagi ante'naze. Anante mago'a vahe'mo'za Deviti'ma ke'za eri fore'ma hu'nazankea Solina eme asami'naze.

7 USawuli wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe ezazimi laye: Ake lizwe, bakoBhenjamini: Kambe indodana kaJese izalinika lonke amasimu lezivini, ilibeke lonke libe zinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu,

Hagi Soli'a ana kema nentahino'a ana vahezaga zamasamino, Benzameni naga'mota antahiho, Jesi nemofo'a witi hoza tamigahifi, waini hoza tamamigahio? Hifi agra amne 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kvao, 100'a sondia vahete kva vahe manigahaze huno nagrama nehuaza huno huvempagea huramantegahio?

8 ngokuthi lonke lingenzele ugobe, njalo kakho owembule endlebeni yami ukuthi indodana yami yenza isivumelwano lendodana kaJese; kakho loyedwa kini ongizwelayo, lowembula endlebeni yami, ukuthi indodana yami ingivusela inceku yami ukuthi icathame njengalamuhla?

Hianagi ha'ma renantea ne' Deviti'enema nenamofo Jonatanima huvempagema hia nanekea nahigeta tamagranena onasami'naze. Tamage magomoke hunka nagrikura tamagesa antahinamita tamasunkura huonanteta, Deviti'ma kafonteno'ma vano nehia nanekea onasami mani'nageno, eno ama knarera ehanatie.

9 Kwasekuphendula uDowegi umEdoma owayemi lenceku zikaSawuli, wathi: Ngayibona indodana kaJese isiza eNobi kuAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi.

Hagi Edomu nagapinti ne' Doeki'a ana vahepinti otino ranke huno, Nagra Nobi kumate mani'nena negogeno, Deviti'a pristi ne' Ahitupu nemofo Ahimeleki'ene nanekea nehige'na ke'noe.

10 Wasembuzela eNkosini, wamnika umphako, lenkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti wamnika yona.

Hagi Ahimelekia Deviti agi erino Ra Anumzamofona nazanoma hania zankura antahinegeno, Filistia ne' Goliati bainati kazine ne'zanena erimi'ne.

11 Inkosi uSawuli yasithuma ukubiza uAhimeleki umpristi, indodana kaAhitubi, lendlu yonke kayise, abapristi ababeseNobi; bonke basebesiza enkosini.

Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a Ahitubu nemofo Ahimelekine maka agri naga'ma Nobu kumate'ma seli mono nompima pristi eri'zama eneri'za naga'anena, zamavareta eho huno huzmante'ne. Hige'za miko'mokizmia kini nete zamavare'za e'naze.

12 USawuli wasesithi: Ake ulalele, ndodana kaAhitubi. Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, nkosi yami.

Anante Soli'a huno, Ahitubu nemofoga antahio. Ahimeleki'a huno, ramoka nentahue.

13 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Kungani lingenzela ugobe, wena lendodana kaJese, njengoba wayinika isinkwa lenkemba, wayibuzela kuNkulunkulu, ukuthi ingivukele icathame njengalamuhla?

Higeno Soli'a asamino, Na'a higeta kagrane Jesi ne'mofo'enena nahenakura nanekea retro nehutna, na'a agafare Jesi nemofona ruotgema hu'nea bretia eri neminka, bainati kazina eri neminka, Deviti'ma azama hanigura Ra Anumzamofona antahige'nane? E'ina hunka azahankeno kafona anteno vano nehigeno, eno ama knarera ehanatie.

14 UAhimeleki waseyiphendula inkosi wathi: Pho, ngubani kuzo zonke inceku zakho othembekileyo njengoDavida, ongumkhwenyana wenkosi, oqhubeka ekukulaleleni, lohloniphekayo endlini yakho?

Hianagi Ahimeleki'a kini ne'mofo kenona huno, Iza kagri eri'za vahepintira mago'mo'a knarera huno negagaru Deviti'ma nehiaza huno fatgo eri'za vahe ka'a mani'neno, kagrira kamage ante'ne? Agra kavate'ma kegava hunegantaza sondia vahe'mokizmi kva mani'nege'za, maka vahe'ma nonkafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za antahimiza ra agi nemiza ne' mani'ne.

15 Ngiyaqalisa lamuhla yini ukumbuzela kuNkulunkulu? Kakube khatshana lami! Inkosi kayingabeki udaba encekwini yayo lendlini yonke kababa; ngoba inceku yakho yayingazi lutho ngaloludaba, oluncinyane kumbe olukhulu.

Hagi ese knani'a amanara hu'na Devitima azama hanigura Ra Anumzamofona antahigenofi? I'o. Hagi kini ne'moka, nagri'ene naga'nimofona ama ana kegagafina tavrentenka kna oramio. Tagra mago nanekea retro huta kagrira kazeri haviza hu nanekea osuta, ama anazana keta antahita osu'none.

16 Inkosi yasisithi: Ahimeleki, uzakufa lokufa, wena lendlu yonke kayihlo.

Hianagi kini ne'mo'a huno, Ahimelekiga kagrane mika nagaka'anena frigahaze.

17 Inkosi yasisithi kuzigijimi ezazimi layo: Phendukani, libulale abapristi beNkosi; ngoba isandla sabo laso siloDavida, futhi ngoba babesazi ukuthi ubalekile, kodwa kabembulanga endlebeni yami. Kodwa inceku zenkosi kazithandanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuthi zihlasele abapristi beNkosi.

Anante kini ne'mo'a avate'ma kegava hunentaza sondia vaheku huno, Ra Anumzamofo pristi eri'za vahera zamahe friho, na'ankure zamagra Deviti kaziga mani'ne'za, Devitima freno vu'nea zamofona antahi'za ke'za hu'nazanagi, eme onasami'naze. Hianagi kini nemofo eri'za vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera ozmahe'naze.

18 Inkosi yasisithi kuDowegi: Phenduka wena, uhlasele abapristi. UDowegi umEdoma wasephenduka, yena wahlasela abapristi, wabulala ngalolosuku abantu abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu ababegqoke i-efodi yelembu elicolekileyo.

Hagi ana hazageno kini ne'mo'a pristi vahera zamahe frio huno Idomu ne' Doekina huntegeno, Doeki'a ana miko pristi vahera za'za kukenama hu'naza pristi vahera 85fu'a zamahe fri'ne.

19 LeNobi, umuzi wabapristi, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, kusukela endodeni kusiya kowesifazana, kusukela emntwaneni kusiya komunyayo, lezinkabi labobabhemi lezimvu, ngobukhali benkemba.

Hagi pristi vahe kumapima Nopuma mani'naza vahera, veneneo, a'neo, mofavreo, bulimakao afuro donki afuro sipisipi afura bainati kazinknonteti maka zamahe fri vagare'ne.

20 Kodwa omunye wamadodana kaAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi waphepha, obizo lakhe lalinguAbhiyatha, wabaleka walandela uDavida.

Hianagi Ahimeleki nemofo Ahitubu negeho Abiata'a anampintira freno Deviti'ene umani'ne.

21 UAbhiyatha wasetshela uDavida ukuthi uSawuli ubulele abapristi beNkosi.

Hagi Soli'ma Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahe'ma zamahe fri'nea nanekea Abiata'a Devitina eme asami'ne.

22 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha: Ngakwazi ngalolosuku lapho uDowegi umEdoma elapho ukuthi uzamtshela lokumtshela uSawuli. Yimi engibangele ukufa kwawo wonke umphefumulo wendlu kayihlo.

Hagi Deviti'a ana nera asamino, Idomu ne' Doekima anampima mani'nege'na nege'na, tamage Solina ome asamigahie hu'na nagra ko antahi'noe. Hagi negafa naga'ma mika frizana, nagri knaza eri'za fri'naze.

23 Hlala lami, ungesabi, ngoba lowo odinga umphefumulo wami udinga umphefumulo wakho; kodwa uzalondolozeka ulami.

Hagi korora osunka nagrane manio. Kagri'ma kahe'zama nehia nemo'a nagri'ene nahe'naku nehie. Hagi nagrane emaninankinka, knare hunka manigahane.
