1 USamuyeli 26
1 AbeZifi basebesiza kuSawuli eGibeya besithi: UDavida kacatshi yini oqaqeni lweHakila phambi kweJeshimoni?
Hagi mago zupa Soli'a Gibea kumate mani'nege'za, Sifi kumate vahe'mo'za eme asami'za, Deviti'a Hakila agonafi Jesmonima avugosama hunte'nea kaziga frakino mani'ne.
2 USawuli wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeZifi elabantu abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, ukuze adinge uDavida enkangala yeZifi.
Hazageno Soli'a 3 tauseni'a hanave Israeli sondia vahe zamavareno, Sifi ka'ma kokampi Devitinku hakenaku vu'ne.
3 USawuli wasemisa inkamba oqaqeni lweHakila oluphambi kweJeshimoni endleleni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi esebonile ukuthi uSawuli uyamlandela enkangala,
Hagi Soli'a Jesmoni tava'onte Hakila agonafi seli nonku'ma ome kino mani'ne. Hianagi Deviti'a ka'ma kopi mani'neno, Soli'ma agriku'ma hakeno eazamofo kea nentahino,
4 uDavida wasethuma izinhloli ukuze azi ukuthi uSawuli ufikile isibili.
mago'a afure vahe huzamantege'za, Soli'ma emani'nenigura ome ke'naze.
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.
Hagi anantetira Deviti'a otino Soli'ma seli nonkuma eme anteno mani'nerega vu'ne. Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahete kva ne'a Neri nemofo Abnakea Sondia vahe'mo'za masegagizageno amu'nompi masenakeno, Deviti'a ana kenagera rerakaureno ome zanage'ne.
6 UDavida wasephendula wakhuluma kuAhimeleki umHethi, lakuAbishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, esithi: Ngubani ozakwehlela lami kuSawuli enkambeni? UAbishayi wasesithi: Mina ngizakwehla lawe.
Hagi Deviti'a Hiti ne' Ahimelekine, Zeruia nemofo Joapu nefu Abisaikizni zanantahigeno, Iza navega hanige'na Soli'ma seli noma eme kino'ma mani'nerega uramigahue. Anage higeno Abisai'a huno, Nagra kagrane uramigahue.
7 Ngakho uDavida loAbishayi bafika ebantwini ebusuku; khangela-ke, uSawuli wayelele ubuthongo enqabeni yezinqola, lomkhonto wakhe wawugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe, loAbhineri labantu babelele bemhanqile.
Higeno Deviti'ene Abisaikea ana kenagera Soli'ma seli nonku'ma anteno mani'nefi ufre'na'e. Anampima ufrene ome ka'ana, Soli'a kuma amu'nompi karugru keve'a asenirega retru renenteno, masenegeno, Abna'ene mago'a sondia vahe'mo'zanena Solina mase kagi ante'nage'za ome ke'na'e.
8 UAbishayi wasesithi kuDavida: UNkulunkulu uvalele isitha sakho esandleni sakho lamuhla; ngakho-ke ake ngimtshayele ngitsho emhlabathini kanye ngomkhonto, ngingakuphindi kuye.
Hagi Abisai'a Devitina asamino, Menina Anumzamo'a ha' vaheka'a kazampi avrenteanki, natrege'na krugru kevereti magoke zupa reharuharu hu'na mopare rekamarenta'neno.
9 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuAbishayi: Ungamchithi; ngoba ngubani ongelulela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo weNkosi angabi lacala?
Hianagi Deviti'a Abisaina asamino, Ohenka atro. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma ahesuta'a, hazenkefi manigahue.
10 UDavida wathi futhi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kodwa iNkosi izamtshaya, loba kufike usuku lwakhe ukuthi afe, kumbe ehlele empini abhujiswe.
Deviti'a mago'ane huno, Ra Anumzamo Agra'a ahe frise. Hagi ozafama resuno frige, hapi uraminige'za ahe frige hugahaze.
11 Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi; kodwa khathesi ake uthathe umkhonto osemqamelweni wakhe, lesigxingi samanzi, sihambe.
Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea nera ahefrio huno hu izora huonante'ne. Hagi menina Soli keve'ane tintafema'ane aseniregama me'neana erigeta amafintira atiramita va'maneno.
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.
Hagi Soli asenirega me'nea kevene, tintafema'anena Deviti'a erigeke vu'na'e. Hagi anama ha'azana mago vahe'mo'e huno keno antahino osu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana miko vahera zamazeri zamavutoko hige'za, mase himre'nazageke anara hu'na'e.
13 Lapho uDavida esechaphele ngaphetsheya, wema engqongeni yentaba khatshana; kwakukhona ummango omkhulu phakathi kwabo.
Hagi Deviti'a vuno mago agona kantu kaziga me'nea agonare afete ome oti'ne.
14 UDavida wasememeza ebantwini lakuAbhineri indodana kaNeri, esithi: Kawuphenduli yini, Abhineri? UAbhineri wasephendula esithi: Ungubani okhala enkosini?
Ananteti Deviti'a Abnane sondia vahe'anena kezana atizamino, Abnaga antufina mani'nano, higeno Abna'a huno, Kagra izaga kini nemofonkura kezankea nehane.
15 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhineri: Kawusindoda yini? Njalo ngubani onjengawe koIsrayeli? Kungani-ke ungayilindanga inkosi yakho inkosi? Ngoba kufike omunye wabantu ukuchitha inkosi, inkosi yakho.
Higeno Deviti'a huno, Abnaga kagri'ma kagatere'nea harafa vahera Israeli agu'afina iza mani'ne? Na'a higenka kini nera kegava huontankeno, ahenaku'ma nehia vahe'mo'a ahe'zana hu'ne?
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.
Kagra knare kavukavara osane. Na'ankure kagrane sondia vahekanena Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma kegava huontazankita tamagra frigahaze. Hagi kini ne'mofo aseniregama me'nea keve'ane tintafema'a iga me'nefi keho?
17 USawuli waselinanzelela ilizwi likaDavida wathi: Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, ndodana yami, Davida? UDavida wasesithi: Yilizwi lami, nkosi yami, nkosi.
Higeno Soli'ma Deviti ageru'ma nentahino'a kezatino, nenamofoga Devitiga nehano. Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, ranimoka, kini nera nagri nageru nentahine.
18 Wathi njalo: Inkosi yami ixotshanelani lenceku yayo? Ngoba ngenzeni? Kulobubi bani esandleni sami?
Deviti'a Solina asamino, Na'ante ranimoka eri'za vahekamo'na narotago nehane? Na'a nagra hugante'noe? Nagra na'a havizana hu'noe?
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.
Hagi kininimoka eri'za vahekamo'na hanua nanekea antahinamio, kagrima Ra Anumzamo'ma kazeri oti'nigenkama ha'ma renenante'nankeno'a, ofama hananana antahigamigahie. Hianagi vahe'mo'ma kazeri otisigenkama ama anazama nehanankeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a kazusi huzmantegahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma erisintima haregahane hu'nea mopafintira naratogo nehu'za, ru anumzante mono ome hunto hu'za hu'naze.
20 Ngakho-ke igazi lami kalingaweli emhlabathini lisuke phambi kobuso beNkosi; ngoba inkosi yakoIsrayeli iphumele ukudinga indwebundwebu eyodwa, njengozingela ithendele ezintabeni.
Hagi atregeno koranimo'a, Ra Anumzamofo tava'ontetira atreno ru mopafina tagi oramino. Hagi Israeli vahe kinimoka, kagra na'ante hinimagu hakeankna hunka nagrikura nehakenka, agonafi namagu hakeanknara nehane?
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.
Anante Soli'a huno, Nagra kumi huanki nenamofo Divitiga mago'ane kagrira kazeri havizana osugahuanki ete eno. Na'ankure ko nahantesinagi, nagrira antahinaminka onahenka natre'nane. Nagra tamage hu'na neginagi'za hu'na havi avu'ava zantfa hu'noe.
22 UDavida wasephendula wathi: Khangela, umkhonto wenkosi! Kalichaphe elinye lamajaha, liwuthathe.
Hagi Deviti'a huno, kini ne'moka kevea ama me'neanki, mago nehaza ne' huntegeno eme erino.
23 INkosi kayibuyisele kulowo lalowo ukulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe; ngoba iNkosi ibikunikele esandleni sami lamuhla, kodwa kangithandanga ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
Hagi fatgo zamavu'zmava nehu'za, kazigazi hu'za ke'ama amage'ma nentaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a ana zamavu'zamavatera mi'zana nezamie. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nazampi kavrenteanagi, kahe ofri'noe. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo masave freganteno kazeri oti'ne.
24 Khangela-ke, njengoba impilo yakho ibinkulu emehlweni ami lamuhla, ngokunjalo impilo yami ayibe nkulu emehlweni eNkosi, kayingophule ekuhluphekeni konke.
Hagi menina kagri'ma antahigami'na onkahorera, Ra Anumzamo'a antahinamino onaheno, miko hazenke zampintira naza hugahie.
25 USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Kawubusiswe wena, ndodana yami Davida. Lawe uzakwenza isibili, lawe uzanqoba lokunqoba. UDavida wasehamba ngendlela yakhe, loSawuli wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
Anante Soli'a Devitinku huno, Mofavrenimoka, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugante'nigenka ranraza nehunka, hara agateregahane. Anage huteke Deviti'a neviana, Soli'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
