1 AmaFilisti ayebuthanise-ke wonke amabutho awo eAfeki; lamaIsrayeli ayemise inkamba ngasemthonjeni oseJizereyeli.
Hagi Filistia sondia vahera Afeke kumate emeri atru hazage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za Jesrili kuma tva'onte kampui ti me'nere seli nonkumara ante'za mani'naze.
2 Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zasezidlula ngamakhulu langezinkulungwane, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe bedlula emuva loAkishi.
Hagi Filistia rankva vahe'mo'za sondia vahera 100'afine, tauseni'afine refko hu'za kevure kevure nevazageno Deviti'ene sondia vahe'amo'zanena Akisi'enena zamagefi vu'naze.
3 Induna zamaFilisti zasezisithi: Ayini lamaHebheru? UAkishi wasesithi kuzo induna zamaFilisti: Lo kayisuye uDavida yini, inceku kaSawuli inkosi yakoIsrayeli, obelami lezinsuku kumbe liminyaka? Njalo kangitholanga lutho kuye kusukela kusuku lokuwa kwakhe kuze kube lamuhla.
Hagi Filistia sondia kva vahe'mo'za Devitine eri'za vahe'anema nezamage'za amanage hu'naze, Hibru vahetamimo'za na'a amafina emenerize? Hazageno Akisi'a ana kva vahe'mokizmi kenona huno, Ama nera Israeli kini ne' Solina vugota eri'za ne'a Deviti'e. Hagi ama ana ne'mo'ma Solima atreno nagri'enema rama'a kafu emanige'na, anama emania knareti'ma eno menima amare'ma ehanatineana, mago hazankea agripina kena eriforera osu'noe.
4 Kodwa induna zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izinduna zamaFilisti zathi kuye: Mbuyisele lumuntu ukuthi abuyele endaweni yakhe owambeka khona. Njalo kangehleli empini lathi, ukuze angabi yisitha sethu empini. Ngoba lo angazenza athandeke ngani enkosini yakhe? Hatshi ngamakhanda alamadoda yini?
Hianagi Filistia sondia kva vahe'mo'za Akisina tusi zamarimpa ahenente'za amanage hu'naze, huntegeno kuma'ma ami'nantega umanino. Hagi atregeno agra tagranena hatera ovino, ha'ma ome nehanunkeno'a rukrahe huno hahurantegahie. Na'ankure e'i mago knare kankamu fore hugahiankino, ha' huranteno sondia vahetia tahesigeno, Solima antahisuno'a ete avregahie.
5 Lo kayisuye uDavida yini ababevumelana ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshaye izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
Hagi Israeli a'nemo'za zagame hu'za avo nere'za, Soli'a 1 tauseni'a vahe zamahe'neanki, Devitia agatereno 10 tauseni'a vahe zamahene hu'zama hu'naza ne' Devitipi hu'za hu'naze?
6 UAkishi wasebiza uDavida wathi kuye: Kuphila kukaJehova, isibili wena uqondile, lokuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho lami enkambeni kuhle emehlweni ami; ngoba kangitholanga ububi kuwe kusukela osukwini lokufika kwakho kimi kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa emehlweni eziphathamandla kawumuhle.
Anage hazageno Akisi'a Devitina agi higeno egeno, amanage huno asmi'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage huankino, emani'nantegati'ma e'noma menina ama knare'ma eana, kagra fatgo ne' mani'nanke'na nagesa antahuana kagra nagrane ha' ome hugahane hu'na huanangi, mago'a Filistia sondia vahete kva vahe'mo'za ana kegura musena osu'naze.
7 Ngakho-ke buyela uhambe ngokuthula, ukuze ungenzi ububi emehlweni eziphathamandla zamaFilisti.
E'ina hu'negu ana sondia kva vahera zamarimpa kna eri ozaminka, akohenka krimpa fru hunka ete kumatega vuo.
8 UDavida wasesithi kuAkishi: Kodwa ngenzeni? Uficeni encekwini yakho, kusukela osukwini engangiphambi kwakho ngalo kuze kube lamuhla, ukuthi ngingayikulwa lezitha zenkosi yami, inkosi?
Higeno Devitia ana kenona Akisina asamino, nagra na'a hu'noe? Eri'za vahekamonafina na'a hazenke kenka eri fore hu'nanku kini ne' ranimoka, ha' vahekanena hara ome osugahue huno Devitina antahige'ne.
9 UAkishi wasephendula wathi kuDavida: Ngiyazi ukuthi ulungile emehlweni ami njengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; kodwa izinduna zamaFilisti zithe: Kayikwenyukela empini lathi.
Hianagi Akisi'a ke nona'a amanage huno Devitina asmi'ne, Nagra'ma kagoana, kagra mago Anumzamofo ankeronkna hunka mani'nenka, mago hazenke ka'a omane nere. Ana hu'nananagi sondia vahete kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Kagrikura tagranena hatera ovugahie hu'naze.

Hu'negu kagra mika kagranema e'naza vahe'enena okina anama rumasama nehanigeta, mopama tami'noa moparega amafintira atreta ete vugahaze.
11 Ngakho uDavida wavuka ngovivi, yena labantu bakhe, ukuhamba ekuseni, ukuthi babuyele elizweni lamaFilisti. AmaFilisti asesenyukela eJizereyeli.
Anage higeno Deviti'a sondia vahe'ane nanterame oti'za Filistia moparega nevazage'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za hate Jezrili vu'naze.
