1 USamuyeli 25

1 USamuweli wasesifa; loIsrayeli wonke wahlangana, bamlilela, bamngcwabela endlini yakhe eRama. UDavida wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeParani.

Hagi Samueli'a frige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za eme atru hu'za zavi krafa nehu'za Rama kumate norava'oma'are asente'naze. Anante Deviti'a Paran Maoni hagege ka'ma kokantega urami'ne. Hagi Soli'a antahiama Deviti'ma Paran Maoni umani'ne hazageno'a anantega avaririno urami'ne.

2 Kwakukhona-ke indoda eMahoni, lomsebenzi wayo wawuseKharmeli; lindoda-ke yayiyisikhulu esikhulu, yayilezimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu lembuzi eziyinkulungwane, yayigunda izimvu zayo eKharmeli.

Hagi Maoni kaziga Kameli kumatera tusi'a feno ante'nea nera magora mani'neankino, ana ne'mo'a 3 tauseni'a sipisipi afu anteno, 1tauseni'a meme afu ante'ne. Hagi mago zupa sipisipi afu'amofo azoka nehareno mani'ne.

3 Njalo ibizo laleyondoda lalinguNabali, lebizo lomkayo lalinguAbigayili. Njalo owesifazana wayelokuqedisisa okuhle, elesimo esihle, kodwa indoda yayilukhuni ilezenzo ezimbi; yayingeyakoKalebi.

Hagi ana ne'mofo agi'a Nebali'e. Hagi nenaro agi'a Abigelikino, agra hentofa a'kino knare antahi'zane a' mani'ne. Hianagi Nebali'a Kalepi nagapinti ne'kino, havi avu'ava ene' ne' mani'ne.

4 UDavida wasesizwa esenkangala ukuthi uNabali ugunda izimvu zakhe.

Hagi Deviti'ma hagege kokampima mani'neno antahiama, Nebali'ma sipisipi afu'amofo azoka nehare kema nentahino'a,

5 UDavida wasethuma amajaha alitshumi, uDavida wathi emajaheni: Yenyukelani eKharmeli, liye kuNabali, limbuze impilo ebizweni lami,

10ni'a nehazave huzamanteno anage hu'ne, Kameli kumate vuta, nagri nagifi knare kne huta Nebalina ome humuse hunenteta,

6 lizakutsho njalo: Impilakahle kayibe kuwe, ukuthula kakube kuwe, lokuthula kakube sendlini yakho, lokuthula kakube kukho konke olakho!

anage huta asamiho, Kagra knare hunka za'za kna nemaninka, kagrane nagakane maka zanka'anena tamarimpa frune maniho,

7 Sengizwile-ke ukuthi ulabagundi; abelusi olabo-ke babelathi, kasibalimazanga, futhi kabaswelanga lutho zonke izinsuku beseKharmeli.

Hagi menina antahuana sipisipi azoka neharana kna me'ne hu'za nasami'naze. Hagi sipisipi afukama kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zama Kemoli kumate'ma tagranema emani'naza knafina, zamazeri havizana nosuta, mago'a zazmia kumazafa ose'none.

8 Buza amajaha akho, azakutshela. Ngakho amajaha kawathole umusa emehlweni akho, ngoba sifike ngosuku oluhle. Akunike inceku zakho lendodana yakho uDavida lokho isandla sakho esizakuthola.

Hagi anankea eri'za vaheka'a zamasamisanke'za, tamage hu'za kasamigahaze. Hagi antahiraminka so'e kavukva huranto. Na'ankure menina ne'za kreno neneno muse hukna me'ne. Hagi muse hugantonanki, ne'zama ante'nesaza zana Deviti'a mofavreka'agna higeta tagra eri'za vaheka'a mani'nonanki aza hunka ne'zana menina tamio huta asmiho.

9 Kwathi amajaha kaDavida esefikile, akhuluma kuNabali ngokwalawomazwi wonke ebizweni likaDavida, aselinda.

Hagi ana nehazavemo'za Nebalinte'ma unehanati'za Deviti'ma zamasami'nea nanekea agri agi eri'za ome asamite'za, kenonama huzaminigu avega ante'za mani'naze.

10 UNabali waseziphendula izinceku zikaDavida, wathi: Ngubani uDavida? Njalo ngubani indodana kaJese? Lamuhla zinengi inceku ezibalekayo, ileyo laleyo enkosini yayo.

Hianagi Nebali'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Jesi ne'mofo Deviti'ema nehazana izanku nehaze. Nagra ke'na antahi'na osu'noe? Meni ama knafina hakare'a eri'za vahe'mo'za kva'zimia atre'za nefraza knagino, agra mago kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'negahie.

11 Pho, ngithathe isinkwa sami, lamanzi ami, lenyama yami engiyihlabele abagundi bami, ngikuphe abantu engingazi ukuthi bavela ngaphi?

Na'ante antahi'na ke'na osu'nesoa vahera, bretiniane, tini'ane, afu'niane sipisipi azoka'ma haresaza vahe'ma zaminaku'ma hanua ne'zana tamigahue? Tamagra igati e'naze nagra kena antahina osu'noanki'na ontamigahue.

12 Amajaha kaDavida asephendukela endleleni yawo, abuyela, eza, ambikela njengawo wonke lamazwi.

Hagi Devitima huzmantege'za e'naza nehazavemo'za ete rekrahe hu'za vu'za ana miko kema Nebali'ma hiankea Devitina ome asami'naze.

13 UDavida wasesithi ebantwini bakhe: Bhincani, ngulowo lalowo inkemba yakhe! Babhinca, ngulowo lalowo inkemba yakhe, loDavida laye wabhinca inkemba yakhe; kwasekusenyuka emva kukaDavida phose amadoda angamakhulu amane, kodwa angamakhulu amabili ahlala empahleni.

Hagi Deviti'a sondia vahe'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Bainati kazinknontamia tamavate eriho hige'za eri'zageno, agranena ana huno bainati kazinknoma'a e'nerino, 400'a sondia vahera zamavareno nevuno, 200'a sondia vahera huzmantege'za fenozamire kegava hu'naze.

14 Kodwa elinye ijaha lamajaha lamtshela uAbigayili umkaNabali lathi: Khangela, uDavida uthume izithunywa zivela enkangala ukubingelela inkosi yethu, kodwa yazithethisa.

Hianagi mago kato ne'mo Nebali nenaro Abigelina ome asamino anage hu'ne, Deviti'a ka'ma kokampi mani'neno, kvatimofona kea atrenteana ana kea huhaviza nehuno, ke'a antahi omi'ne.

15 Kanti labobantu basiphatha kuhle kakhulu, kasilimalanga, kasiswelanga lutho zonke izinsuku sihambisana labo, sisemmangweni.

Hagi ana vahe'mo'za anantegama umanuna kna'afina knare zamavuzmava hurante'za, tazeri havizana osu'za, mago zantia kumazafa ose'za kegava hurante'naze.

16 Babengumduli kithi ebusuku kanye lemini, zonke izinsuku silabo seluse izimvu.

Hagi anantegama umanuna knafina hanine zagenena ana vahe'mo'za vihugna hu'za manigagine'za kegava hunerantageta sipisipia kegava hu'none.

17 Khathesi-ke, yazi ubone ukuthi uzakwenzani; ngoba ububi buqunyelwe inkosi yethu lendlu yayo yonke; ngoba uyindodana kaBheliyali okungangokuthi kakho ongakhuluma laye.

Hagi ama anankea nentahinka, nazano huzmantenaku'ma hanana zana huzamanto. Na'ankure kvatimofone noma'afima nemaniza vahera Deviti'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'naku kea retro nehie. Nebalia knare nera omani'neankino, mago vahe'mofo kea ontahigahie.

18 UAbigayili wasephangisa wathatha izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, lembodlela ezimbili zewayini, lezimvu ezinhlanu ezilungisiweyo, lamaseya amane amabele akhanzingiweyo, lamahlukuzo alikhulu ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo, lezinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili zomkhiwa, wakuthwalisa obabhemi.

Hagi Abigeli'a ana nanekema nentahino'a, ame huno 200'a bretigi, meme akrute tro hu'naza tafentrempi wainia tagino e'nerino, 5fu'a krente'naza sipisipi afuki, 20 kilo kre hagege hunte witigi, 100'a waini araga antehagege hu'za regripe ante'nazanki, 200'a fiki araga regripe ante'nazana donki afutamimofo agumpi erinte'ne.

19 Wasesithi emajaheni akhe: Dlulani phambi kwami; khangelani, ngiyalilandela. Kodwa kamtshelanga umkakhe uNabali.

Hagi Abigeli'a eri'za vahe'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Ko vugota hinke'na tamage tamavaririna va'neno. Hianagi ana'ma hiazana nevena Nebalina osami'ne.

20 Kwasekusithi esagade ubabhemi esehlela endaweni esithekileyo yentaba, khangela-ke, uDavida labantu bakhe behla behlangabezana laye; wasehlangana labo.

Hagi ana a'mo'a donki afu'afi manino ana agonamofo krahopi nevigeno, Deviti'ene sondia vahe'anena anantega eramigeno, ana a'mo'a ome tutagiha huzmante'ne.

21 Njalo uDavida wayethe: Isibili ngigcine ngeze konke lo ayelakho enkangala, kakwaze kwasweleka lutho kukho konke ayelakho. Usengibuyisele okubi ngokuhle.

Hagi Deviti'a anage hu'ne, Maka'zama ama ana ne'mo'ma ka'ma kopima ante'neana tamage hu'na kegava hugeno mago'zana kumazufa osege, fanenea osuge hu'ne. Hagi knare navu'nava'ma hunte'norera nona huno haviza hunante'ne.

22 UNkulunkulu akenze njalo ezitheni zikaDavida, engezelele ngokunjalo, uba ngitshiya loyedwa kubo bonke alabo kuze kube sekuseni abachamela emdulini.

E'ina hu'negu ana ne'mofo nagara kenageke zamahe fri hana hugahue. Hagi ana'ma osu'na atrenugeno anampinti mago vahe'mo'ma amnema mani'nesigeno nanterama uhanatina, Anumzamo'a nahe frigahie.

23 Lapho uAbigayili ebona uDavida, waphangisa wehla kubabhemi, wathi mbo ngobuso bakhe phansi phambi kukaDavida, wakhothamela emhlabathini.

Hagi Abigeli'ma Devitima negeno'a ame huno donki afu'afinti eramia zamo, Devitina agafi kepri hu'ne.

24 Wawela enyaweni zakhe wathi: Lobububi kabube phezu kwami mina, nkosi yami; incekukazi yakho ake ikhulume endlebeni zakho, uzwe amazwi encekukazi yakho.

Hagi ana a'mo'a agafi kepri huneno Devitina asamino, Mago vahera knazana ozaminka, ranimoka nagripi ana miko knazana anto. Hagi muse hugantoanki nagra eri'za vahekamo'nama hanua kea antahio.

25 Inkosi yami ake inganaki lowomuntu kaBheliyali, uNabali; ngoba njengebizo lakhe unjalo; uNabali libizo lakhe, lobuthutha bukuye. Kodwa mina, incekukazi yakho, kangiwabonanga amajaha enkosi yami owawathumayo.

Devitiga ranimoka Nebali'a kefo avu'ava'ene ne' mani'neanki ke'a antahiminka mago'zana huonto. Agra'a agimo'ma hu'neaza huno negi vahe mani'ne. Hianagi nehazavema huzmantanke'za vu'nazana zamage'na antahina osu'noe.

26 Ngakho-ke, nkosi yami, kuphila kukaJehova, lokuphila komphefumulo wakho, njengoba iNkosi ikunqandile ukungena ngokuchitha igazi, lokuziphindisela ngesandla sakho, ngalokho-ke kazibe njengoNabali izitha zakho lalabo abadinga ububi enkosini yami.

E'ina hu'negu menina ranimoka tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a mani'neankino, kataregenka kagra kazanutira vahera zamahe frinka kumira osane. Ana hu'negu kagri'ma ha'ma regantesaza vahera zamatrege'za Nebali'ma hiaza hu'za neginagi hiho.

27 Manje-ke, lesisibusiso incekukazi yakho esilethe enkosini yami kasinikwe amajaha ahamba esiya le lale emanyathelweni enkosi yami.

Hagi menima eri'za vahekamo'na eri'na e'noa ne'zana erinka, vaheka'a zamige'za neho.

28 Akuthethelele isiphambeko sencekukazi yakho; ngoba iNkosi izakwenzela lokwenzela inkosi yami indlu eqinileyo, ngoba inkosi yami ilwa izimpi zeNkosi, lobubi kabutholwanga kuwe kusukela ensukwini zakho.

Hagi nagrama hua navu'navamo'ma kazeri havizama hanigenka, kumi'ni'a atrenanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kinima mani trara kagri nagapi antesigeta kinia manivava huta vugahaze. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo ha' nehunka, maninkama ampina, mago havizana osu'nane.

29 Loba kusukuma umuntu ukukuxotsha lokudinga impilo yakho, kodwa umphefumulo wenkosi yami uzabotshelwa emqulwini wabaphilayo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; kodwa umphefumulo wezitha zakho izawujikijela kungathi uphume phakathi kwesavutha.

Hagi ha' vahekamo'zama kahe friku'ma nehageno'a, Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'a knare huno kva hunegante. Hianagi Anumzamo'a ha' vaheka'a kumi atifi have erinteno ahetreankna huno zamahenati atresige'za ame hu'za fanane hugahaze.

30 Kwasekusithi, lapho iNkosi isikwenzile enkosini yami njengakho konke okuhle ekukhulume ngawe, isikumisile waba ngumbusi phezu kukaIsrayeli,

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a kagrima ranimoka huvempagema hugante'neazama huvamaretesuno'a, Israeli vahete kva kazeri otisanigenka kva manisanunka,

31 kakungabi yisikhubekiso kuwe lokukhubekiswa kwenhliziyo enkosini yami, ngokuthi uchithe igazi ngeze, lokuthi inkosi yami iziphindisele. Lapho iNkosi isiyenzele okuhle inkosi yami, khumbula incekukazi yakho.

ama anazamo'a kazeri haviza hugahianki, ranimoka kagra kazampintira nona hunka vahera zamahenka kagra kagia eri havizana osuo. Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma ana mika'ma huvempage hugante'nea zama hugantesigenka, nagrira kagesa antahinamio.

32 UDavida wasesithi kuAbigayili: Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ekuthumileyo lamuhla ukungihlangabeza.

Hagi Deviti'a amanage huno Abigelina asmi'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a ra agi erisie! Menina Agra'a hugantegenka nagrira nagekura e'nane.

33 Futhi kakubusiswe ukuqedisisa kwakho, ubusiswe lawe onginqandileyo lamuhla ukuze ngingangeni ekuchitheni igazi lokuziphindisela ngesandla sami.

Hagi kagri'enena muse hugantoe, kagri so'e antahi'zamo naza huno knare antahi'zana namige'na, nona hu'na kezmi omane vahera ozamahegahue.

34 Ngoba ngeqiniso, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, onginqandileyo ukuze ngingenzi ububi kuwe, ngoba uba ubungaphangisanga weza ukungihlangabeza, sibili, bekungayikusala loyedwa kuNabali kuze kube sekukhanyeni kwekuseni ochamela emdulini.

Hagi menina nagritega amera hunka omantesina, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofonte ko huvempage hu'noanki'na, oki nanterana Nebali'ene veneneraminena magore hu'na ozamatrosine.

35 UDavida wasesemukela esandleni sakhe lokho amlethele khona. Wasesithi kuye: Yenyukela ngokuthula endlini yakho; bona, ngililalele ilizwi lakho, ngibemukele ubuso bakho.

Anante Deviti'a, Abigeli'ma erino vu'nea ne'zana e'nerino amanage hu'ne, Keagama nasami'nana hago antahoanki, kagrama nasamina kante ante'na anazana hugahuanki, krimpa fru e'nerinka nontega vuo.

36 UAbigayili wasefika kuNabali, khangela-ke, wayeledili endlini yakhe, njengedili lenkosi. Lenhliziyo kaNabali yathokoza phakathi kwakhe, njalo wayedakwe kwedlulisa; ngakho kamtshelanga lutho, oluncinyane loba olukhulu, kwaze kwaba sekukhanyeni kwekuseni.

Higeno Abigeli'a anama huteno nontegama vuno ome keana, Nebali'a kini vahe'mo'za nehazaza huno tusi'a ne'za kreno neneno musenkase nehigeno ome ke'ne. Abigeli'a ana zamofo nanekea magore huno osami'ne. Na'ankure ana keragera Nebali'a tusi'a negi ti neno musenkase nehigeno nanterase'ne.

37 Kwasekusithi ekuseni lapho iwayini seliphumile kuNabali, lomkakhe esemtshele lezizinto, inhliziyo yakhe yafa phakathi kwakhe, wasesiba njengelitshe.

Hagi nanterama segeno Nebali antahintahimo'ma ama'ma higeno, ana nanekea Abigeli'a asami'ne. Hagi anankema Nebali'ma nentahino'a tusi agesa nentahigeno, agazamo'a hapu higeno kaza osu havegna huno mase'ne.

38 Kwasekusithi phose emva kwensuku ezilitshumi iNkosi yamtshaya uNabali, wasesifa.

Hagi 10ni'a zagegna naza evutegeno, anante Ra Anumzamo'a Nebalina ahegeno fri'ne.

39 UDavida esezwile ukuthi uNabali usefile wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi emele udaba lwehlazo lami esandleni sikaNabali, yavimbela inceku yayo ebubini; iNkosi yabuyisela-ke ububi bukaNabali ekhanda lakhe. UDavida wasethuma, wakhuluma loAbigayili ukuthi amthathe abe ngumkakhe.

Hagi Nebali'ma fri'nea nanekema Deviti'a nentahino amanage hu'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo agi'a hentesga hanue, Nebali'ma nagri'ma nazeri haviza hu'nemofo nona hunte. Hagi eri'za vahe'amo'ma vahe'ma ahe frizanku Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a ahe frie. Anage nehuno Deviti'a Abigelina ke atrenteno, a' erigantegahue hu'ne.

40 Lapho izinceku zikaDavida zifika kuAbigayili eKharmeli, zakhuluma laye zisithi: UDavida usithumile kuwe ukukuthatha ube ngumkakhe.

Hagi Deviti eri'za vahe'mo'za Kameli kumate urami'za Abigelina ome asami'za, Deviti'a ome avreta enkena a' erintaneno huno hurantegeta e'none.

41 Wasesukuma, wakhothama ngobuso emhlabathini, wathi: Khangela, incekukazi yakho kayibe yisigqili sokugezisa inyawo zenceku zenkosi yami.

Abigeli'a mopafi kepri nehuno amanage hu'ne, Nagra Deviti' eri'za vahe mani'ne'na eri'za vahe'amofo zamagia sese hu'zankura nave'nesie.

42 UAbigayili wasephangisa esukuma, wagada ubabhemi, lentombi zakhe ezinhlanu ezazimphelekezela, walandela izithunywa zikaDavida, waba ngumkakhe.

Anage nehuno Abigeli'a ame huno agra donki'amofo agumpi marerige'za 5fu'a eri'za a'ne'amo'za avega hazageno, Deviti eri'za vahe'ene vazageno, Deviti'a a' avrente'ne.

43 UDavida wathatha loAhinowama weJizereyeli, labo bobabili baba ngomkakhe.

Hagi Deviti'a Jezriri kumateti a' Ahinoamu ara erinte'nere, Abigeli'ma egeno'a ana taregamokea Deviti atre mani'na'e.

44 Ngoba uSawuli wayenike uMikhali indodakazi yakhe, umkaDavida, kuPaliti indodana kaLayishi owayengoweGalimi.

Hianagi anama hianknafina Soli'a mofa'a Mikelina Deviti nenaro mani'neanagi, Gilim kumate ne' Lais nemofo Paltieli hanare ami'ne.
