and to come (in): come [the] Ziphite to(wards) Saul [the] Gibeah [to] to/for to say not David to hide in/on/with hill [the] Hachilah upon face: east [the] Jeshimon
2 USawuli wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeZifi elabantu abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, ukuze adinge uDavida enkangala yeZifi.
and to arise: rise Saul and to go down to(wards) wilderness Ziph and with him three thousand man to choose Israel to/for to seek [obj] David in/on/with wilderness Ziph
3 USawuli wasemisa inkamba oqaqeni lweHakila oluphambi kweJeshimoni endleleni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi esebonile ukuthi uSawuli uyamlandela enkangala,
and to camp Saul in/on/with hill [the] Hachilah which upon face: east [the] Jeshimon upon [the] way: road and David to dwell in/on/with wilderness and to see: see for to come (in): come Saul after him [the] wilderness [to]

and to send: depart David to spy and to know for to come (in): come Saul to(wards) to establish: right
5 UDavida wasesukuma wayafika endaweni lapho uSawuli amise khona inkamba; uDavida wayibona indawo lapho uSawuli alala khona, loAbhineri indodana kaNeri, induna yebutho lakhe. Njalo uSawuli wayelele enqabeni yezinqola, lesizwe sasimise amathente simhanqile.

6 UDavida wasephendula wakhuluma kuAhimeleki umHethi, lakuAbishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, esithi: Ngubani ozakwehlela lami kuSawuli enkambeni? UAbishayi wasesithi: Mina ngizakwehla lawe.
and to answer David and to say to(wards) Ahimelech [the] Hittite and to(wards) Abishai son: child Zeruiah brother: male-sibling Joab to/for to say who? to go down with me to(wards) Saul to(wards) [the] camp and to say Abishai I to go down with you
7 Ngakho uDavida loAbishayi bafika ebantwini ebusuku; khangela-ke, uSawuli wayelele ubuthongo enqabeni yezinqola, lomkhonto wakhe wawugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe, loAbhineri labantu babelele bemhanqile.
and to come (in): come David and Abishai to(wards) [the] people: soldiers night and behold Saul to lie down: lay down sleeping in/on/with track and spear his to bruise in/on/with land: soil (head his *Q(K)*) and Abner and [the] people: soldiers to lie down: lay down (around him *Q(K)*)
8 UAbishayi wasesithi kuDavida: UNkulunkulu uvalele isitha sakho esandleni sakho lamuhla; ngakho-ke ake ngimtshayele ngitsho emhlabathini kanye ngomkhonto, ngingakuphindi kuye.
and to say Abishai to(wards) David to shut God [the] day: today [obj] enemy your in/on/with hand: power your and now to smite him please in/on/with spear and in/on/with land: soil beat one and not to repeat to/for him
9 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuAbishayi: Ungamchithi; ngoba ngubani ongelulela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo weNkosi angabi lacala?
and to say David to(wards) Abishai not to ruin him for who? to send: reach hand his in/on/with anointed LORD and to clear
10 UDavida wathi futhi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kodwa iNkosi izamtshaya, loba kufike usuku lwakhe ukuthi afe, kumbe ehlele empini abhujiswe.
and to say David alive LORD that if: except if: except LORD to strike him or day his to come (in): come and to die or in/on/with battle to go down and to snatch
11 Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi; kodwa khathesi ake uthathe umkhonto osemqamelweni wakhe, lesigxingi samanzi, sihambe.
forbid to/for me from LORD from to send: reach hand my in/on/with anointed LORD and now to take: take please [obj] [the] spear which (head his *Q(K)*) and [obj] jar [the] water and to go: went to/for us
12 UDavida wasethatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi ekususa emqamelweni kaSawuli, bahamba. Njalo kakho owakubonayo, kakho owakwaziyo, kakho owavukayo, ngoba bonke babelele, ngoba ubuthongo obunzima beNkosi babubehlele.
and to take: take David [obj] [the] spear and [obj] jar [the] water head-place Saul and to go: went to/for them and nothing to see: see and nothing to know and nothing to awake for all their sleeping for deep sleep LORD to fall: fall upon them
13 Lapho uDavida esechaphele ngaphetsheya, wema engqongeni yentaba khatshana; kwakukhona ummango omkhulu phakathi kwabo.
and to pass David [the] side: beside and to stand: stand upon head: top [the] mountain: mount from distant many [the] place between them
14 UDavida wasememeza ebantwini lakuAbhineri indodana kaNeri, esithi: Kawuphenduli yini, Abhineri? UAbhineri wasephendula esithi: Ungubani okhala enkosini?
and to call: call to David to(wards) [the] people: soldiers and to(wards) Abner son: child Ner to/for to say not to answer Abner and to answer Abner and to say who? you(m. s.) to call: call to to(wards) [the] king
15 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhineri: Kawusindoda yini? Njalo ngubani onjengawe koIsrayeli? Kungani-ke ungayilindanga inkosi yakho inkosi? Ngoba kufike omunye wabantu ukuchitha inkosi, inkosi yakho.
and to say David to(wards) Abner not man you(m. s.) and who? like you in/on/with Israel and to/for what? not to keep: guard to(wards) lord your [the] king for to come (in): come one [the] people to/for to ruin [obj] [the] king lord your
16 Kayinhle into oyenzileyo. Kuphila kukaJehova, lingabantwana bokufa, ngoba kaliyilindanga inkosi yenu, ogcotshiweyo weNkosi. Khathesi-ke bona ukuthi ungaphi umkhonto wenkosi lesigxingi samanzi ebesingasemqamelweni wayo.
not pleasant [the] word: thing [the] this which to make: do alive LORD for son: descendant/people death you(m. p.) which not to keep: guard upon lord your upon anointed LORD and now to see: see where? spear [the] king and [obj] jar [the] water which (head his *Q(K)*)
17 USawuli waselinanzelela ilizwi likaDavida wathi: Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, ndodana yami, Davida? UDavida wasesithi: Yilizwi lami, nkosi yami, nkosi.
and to recognize Saul [obj] voice David and to say voice your this son: child my David and to say David voice my lord my [the] king
18 Wathi njalo: Inkosi yami ixotshanelani lenceku yayo? Ngoba ngenzeni? Kulobubi bani esandleni sami?
and to say to/for what? this lord my to pursue after servant/slave his for what? to make: do and what? in/on/with hand my distress: evil
19 Ngakho-ke, ake izwe inkosi yami, inkosi, amazwi enceku yayo. Uba iNkosi ikuqubula ukumelana lami, kayemukele umnikelo; kodwa uba kungabantwana babantu, kabaqalekiswe phambi kweNkosi; ngoba bangixotshile lamuhla ukuthi ngingazihlanganisi lelifa leNkosi, besithi: Hamba, ukhonze abanye onkulunkulu.
and now to hear: hear please lord my [the] king [obj] word servant/slave his if LORD to incite you in/on/with me to smell offering and if son: descendant/people [the] man to curse they(masc.) to/for face: before LORD for to drive out: drive out me [the] day: today from to attach in/on/with inheritance LORD to/for to say to go: went to serve God another
20 Ngakho-ke igazi lami kalingaweli emhlabathini lisuke phambi kobuso beNkosi; ngoba inkosi yakoIsrayeli iphumele ukudinga indwebundwebu eyodwa, njengozingela ithendele ezintabeni.
and now not to fall: fall blood my land: soil [to] from before face: before LORD for to come out: come king Israel to/for to seek [obj] flea one like/as as which to pursue [the] partridge in/on/with mountain: mount
21 USawuli wasesithi: Ngonile; buya, ndodana yami Davida, ngoba kangisayikwenza ububi kuwe, ngenxa yokuthi umphefumulo wami ubuligugu emehlweni akho lamuhla. Khangela, ngenze ngobuphukuphuku, ngaduha kakhulu sibili.
and to say Saul to sin to return: return son: child my David for not be evil to/for you still underneath: because of which be precious soul: life my in/on/with eye: appearance your [the] day: today [the] this behold be foolish and to wander to multiply much
22 UDavida wasephendula wathi: Khangela, umkhonto wenkosi! Kalichaphe elinye lamajaha, liwuthathe.
and to answer David and to say behold (spear *Q(K)*) [the] king and to pass one from [the] youth and to take: take her
23 INkosi kayibuyisele kulowo lalowo ukulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe; ngoba iNkosi ibikunikele esandleni sami lamuhla, kodwa kangithandanga ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
and LORD to return: pay to/for man: anyone [obj] righteousness his and [obj] faithfulness his which to give: give you LORD [the] day in/on/with hand: power and not be willing to/for to send: reach hand my in/on/with anointed LORD
24 Khangela-ke, njengoba impilo yakho ibinkulu emehlweni ami lamuhla, ngokunjalo impilo yami ayibe nkulu emehlweni eNkosi, kayingophule ekuhluphekeni konke.
and behold like/as as which to magnify soul: life your [the] day: today [the] this in/on/with eye: seeing my so to magnify soul: life my in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to rescue me from all distress
25 USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Kawubusiswe wena, ndodana yami Davida. Lawe uzakwenza isibili, lawe uzanqoba lokunqoba. UDavida wasehamba ngendlela yakhe, loSawuli wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
and to say Saul to(wards) David to bless you(m. s.) son: child my David also to make: do to make: do and also be able be able and to go: went David to/for way: journey his and Saul to return: return to/for place his
