1 USamuyeli 26
1 AbeZifi basebesiza kuSawuli eGibeya besithi: UDavida kacatshi yini oqaqeni lweHakila phambi kweJeshimoni?
Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa Saaʼol bira dhaqanii, “Kunoo Daawit gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagaltu irra dhokatee jira mitii?” jedhan.
2 USawuli wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeZifi elabantu abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, ukuze adinge uDavida enkangala yeZifi.
Kanaafuu Saaʼol namoota Israaʼel keessaa filataman kuma sadii wajjin Daawitin barbaacha Gammoojjii Ziifitti gad buʼe.
3 USawuli wasemisa inkamba oqaqeni lweHakila oluphambi kweJeshimoni endleleni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi esebonile ukuthi uSawuli uyamlandela enkangala,
Saaʼol qubata isaa daandii gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagalu sana cina dhaabbate; Daawit garuu gammoojjii keessa ture. Innis yeroo akka Saaʼol isa duukaa buʼaa jiru beeketti,
4 uDavida wasethuma izinhloli ukuze azi ukuthi uSawuli ufikile isibili.
basaastota ergee akka Saaʼol dhugumaan achi gaʼe mirkaneeffate.
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.
Daawitis achii baʼee iddoo Saaʼol qubate dhaqe. Innis iddoo Saaʼolii fi Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltootaa ciciisan arge. Saaʼol qubata keessa rafe; loltoonnis isa marsanii turan.
6 UDavida wasephendula wakhuluma kuAhimeleki umHethi, lakuAbishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, esithi: Ngubani ozakwehlela lami kuSawuli enkambeni? UAbishayi wasesithi: Mina ngizakwehla lawe.
Daawitis Ahiimelek namicha Heetii fi Abiishaayi ilma Zeruuyaa obboleessa Yooʼaabiin, “Eenyutu na wajjin gara qubata kanaa Saaʼolitti seena?” jedhee gaafate. Abiishaayis, “Anatu si wajjin seena” jedhe.
7 Ngakho uDavida loAbishayi bafika ebantwini ebusuku; khangela-ke, uSawuli wayelele ubuthongo enqabeni yezinqola, lomkhonto wakhe wawugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe, loAbhineri labantu babelele bemhanqile.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi Abiishaayi halkaniin gara loltootaa dhaqan; Saaʼol eeboo isaa mataa isaa bira lafatti dhaabee qubata keessa rafaa ture. Abneerii fi loltoonni immoo isa marsanii ciciisaa turan.
8 UAbishayi wasesithi kuDavida: UNkulunkulu uvalele isitha sakho esandleni sakho lamuhla; ngakho-ke ake ngimtshayele ngitsho emhlabathini kanye ngomkhonto, ngingakuphindi kuye.
Abiishaayis Daawitiin, “Harʼa Waaqni diinota kee dabarsee harka keetti kenneera. Mee akka ani utuu itti hin deebiʼin yeruma tokkoon eeboo kootiin waraanee lafatti isa hodhu naa eeyyami; irra deebiʼee dhaʼuus na hin barbaachisu” jedhe.
9 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuAbishayi: Ungamchithi; ngoba ngubani ongelulela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo weNkosi angabi lacala?
Daawit garuu Abiishaayiin akkana jedhe; “Isa hin ajjeesin! Namni nama Waaqayyo dibetti harka ol fudhatee yakka malee hafu jiraa?
10 UDavida wathi futhi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kodwa iNkosi izamtshaya, loba kufike usuku lwakhe ukuthi afe, kumbe ehlele empini abhujiswe.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Waaqayyo mataan isaa iyyuu isa ni galaafata yookaan inni yeroon isaa gaʼee ni duʼa yookaan duula dhaqee achitti ni duʼa.
11 Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi; kodwa khathesi ake uthathe umkhonto osemqamelweni wakhe, lesigxingi samanzi, sihambe.
Garuu akka ani dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka koo ol hin kaafanne Waaqayyo na haa eegu; amma garuu eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa isaa bira jiru fuudhiitii haa deemnu.”
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.
Kanaafuu Daawit eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa Saaʼol bira ture sana fudhatee kaʼanii deeman. Namni waan kana arge yookaan beeke tokko iyyuu hin turre yookaan namni tokko iyyuu hin dammaqne. Sababii Waaqayyo hirriba cimaa isaanitti gad dhiiseef hundi isaanii rafanii turan.
13 Lapho uDavida esechaphele ngaphetsheya, wema engqongeni yentaba khatshana; kwakukhona ummango omkhulu phakathi kwabo.
Ergasii Daawit gamatti ceʼee fagaatee fiixee gaara irra dhaabate; gidduu isaaniis lafa balʼaatu ture.
14 UDavida wasememeza ebantwini lakuAbhineri indodana kaNeri, esithi: Kawuphenduli yini, Abhineri? UAbhineri wasephendula esithi: Ungubani okhala enkosini?
Daawitis loltootaa fi Abneer ilma Neeriitiin, “Yaa Abneer, ati deebii naaf hin kennituu?” jedhee lallabe. Abneeris deebisee, “Ati kan mootiitti iyyitu eenyu?” jedhe.
15 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhineri: Kawusindoda yini? Njalo ngubani onjengawe koIsrayeli? Kungani-ke ungayilindanga inkosi yakho inkosi? Ngoba kufike omunye wabantu ukuchitha inkosi, inkosi yakho.
Daawit akkana jedhe; “Abneer, ati jagna mitii? Israaʼel keessatti namni siin qixxaatu eenyu? Ati maaliif gooftaa kee mooticha sirriitti hin eegne? Kunoo namni tokko gooftaa kee mooticha ajjeesuuf dhufee tureetii.
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.
Wanni ati goote gaarii miti. Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, atii fi namoonni kee duʼuu qabdu; isin gooftaa keessan dibamaa Waaqayyoo sana hin eegneetii. Mee naannoo kee ilaali. Eeboo fi cuggeen bishaanii kan mataa mootichaa bira ture sun meerre?”
17 USawuli waselinanzelela ilizwi likaDavida wathi: Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, ndodana yami, Davida? UDavida wasesithi: Yilizwi lami, nkosi yami, nkosi.
Saaʼol sagalee Daawit beekee, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhe. Daawitis, “Eeyyee; sagalee koo ti; yaa gooftaa koo mootii” jedhee deebise.
18 Wathi njalo: Inkosi yami ixotshanelani lenceku yayo? Ngoba ngenzeni? Kulobubi bani esandleni sami?
Itti fufees akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo maaliif tajaajilaa isaa ariʼa? Ani maalin godhe? Ani yakka maalin qaba?
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.
Egaa mee gooftaan koo mootichi dubbii tajaajilaa isaa haa dhagaʼu. Yoo Waaqayyo natti si kakaasee jiraate inni aarsaa haa fudhatu. Garuu namoonni yoo waan kana godhanii jiraatan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa abaaraman! Isaan akka ani dhaala Waaqayyoo keessaa qooda hin qabaanneef na ariʼanii, ‘Dhaqiitii waaqota biraa tajaajili’ jedhan.
20 Ngakho-ke igazi lami kalingaweli emhlabathini lisuke phambi kobuso beNkosi; ngoba inkosi yakoIsrayeli iphumele ukudinga indwebundwebu eyodwa, njengozingela ithendele ezintabeni.
Dhiigni koo fuula Waaqayyoo duraa fagaatee akka lafatti dhangalaʼu hin godhin. Akkuma namni tokko gaara gubbaatti gogorrii adamsu sana mootiin Israaʼel tafkii barbaaduu baʼeera.”
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.
Saaʼolis, “Ani yakka hojjedheera. Yaa ilma koo Daawit kottuu deebiʼi. Sababii harʼa lubbuun koo fuula kee duratti ulfina argatteef ani lammata si miidhuu hin yaalu. Ani dhugumaan hojii gowwummaa hojjedheera; guddaas dogoggoreera jedhe.”
22 UDavida wasephendula wathi: Khangela, umkhonto wenkosi! Kalichaphe elinye lamajaha, liwuthathe.
Daawitis akkana jedhee deebise; “Eeboon mootichaa kunoo ti; dargaggoota kee keessaa namni tokko dhufee haa fuudhu.
23 INkosi kayibuyisele kulowo lalowo ukulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe; ngoba iNkosi ibikunikele esandleni sami lamuhla, kodwa kangithandanga ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
Waaqayyo nama hundaaf qajeelummaa isaatii fi amanamummaa isaatiif gatii ni kenna. Waaqayyo harʼa dabarsee harka kootti si kennee ture; ani garuu dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka ol hin fudhadhu.
24 Khangela-ke, njengoba impilo yakho ibinkulu emehlweni ami lamuhla, ngokunjalo impilo yami ayibe nkulu emehlweni eNkosi, kayingophule ekuhluphekeni konke.
Akkuma ani harʼa lubbuu kee ulfeesse kana, Waaqayyos lubbuu koo ulfeessee rakkina hunda jalaa na haa baasu.”
25 USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Kawubusiswe wena, ndodana yami Davida. Lawe uzakwenza isibili, lawe uzanqoba lokunqoba. UDavida wasehamba ngendlela yakhe, loSawuli wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
Kana irratti Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit eebbifami; ati waan guddaa hojjetta; dhugumaanis ni moʼatta” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit karaa isaa itti fufe; Saaʼolis gara manaatti deebiʼe.
