1 USamuyeli 29
1 AmaFilisti ayebuthanise-ke wonke amabutho awo eAfeki; lamaIsrayeli ayemise inkamba ngasemthonjeni oseJizereyeli.
Filisxeemonni loltoota isaanii hunda Afeeqitti walitti qabatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo burqaa Yizriʼeel keessa jiru bira qubatan.
2 Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zasezidlula ngamakhulu langezinkulungwane, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe bedlula emuva loAkishi.
Yommuu bulchitoonni Filisxeem dhibba dhibbaa fi kuma kumaan qoodamanii duulanitti Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Aakiish wajjin dugda duuba deemaa turan.
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.
Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeemis, “Ibroonni kunneen maali asii hojjetu?” jedhanii gaafatan. Aakiishis deebisee, “Kun Daawit qondaalticha Saaʼol mooticha Israaʼel sanaa mitii? Inni waggaa tokko caalaa na wajjin ture; gaafa inni Saaʼolin dhiisee jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani yakka tokko illee isa irratti hin argine” jedhe.
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?
Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeem garuu isatti aaranii akkana jedhan; “Akka inni iddoo ati isa itti ramadde sanatti deebiʼuuf namicha kana deebisii ergi. Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu; yoo kanaa achii inni lola keessatti nutti garagala. Inni yoo mataa namoota keenyaa kukkutuudhaan taʼe malee akkamitti gooftaa isaatti araaramuu dandaʼa?
5 Lo kayisuye uDavida yini ababevumelana ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshaye izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
Daawit kun namichuma isaan, “‘Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatama ajjeese’ jedhanii sirbanii shubbisaniif sana mitii?”
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.
Kanaafuu Aakiish Daawitin waamee akkana jedheen; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati nama amanamaa turte; ani utuu ati na wajjin loltoota keessa tajaajiltee nan gammada. Gaafa ati na bira dhuftee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti ani yakka tokko illee sirratti hin argine; garuu bulchitoonni si hin fudhanne.
7 Ngakho-ke buyela uhambe ngokuthula, ukuze ungenzi ububi emehlweni eziphathamandla zamaFilisti.
Deebiʼii nagaan deemi; waan bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa gaddisiisu tokko illee hin hojjetin.”
8 UDavida wasesithi kuAkishi: Kodwa ngenzeni? Uficeni encekwini yakho, kusukela osukwini engangiphambi kwakho ngalo kuze kube lamuhla, ukuthi ngingayikulwa lezitha zenkosi yami, inkosi?
Daawit, “Garuu ani maalin godhe? Erga ani gara kee dhufee jalqabee hamma ammaatti yakki ati tajaajilaa kee irratti argite maali? Ani maaliifin dhaqee diinota gooftaa koo mootichaa waraanuu hin dandaʼu?” jedhee gaafate.
9 UAkishi wasephendula wathi kuDavida: Ngiyazi ukuthi ulungile emehlweni ami njengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; kodwa izinduna zamaFilisti zithe: Kayikwenyukela empini lathi.
Aakiish akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akka ati fuula koo duratti akkuma ergamaa Waaqayyoo namatti toltu beeka; taʼus ajajjoonni Filisxeemotaa, ‘Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu’ jedhaniiru.
10 Ngakho-ke ubovuka ekuseni kakhulu kanye lenceku zenkosi yakho ezifike lawe; selivuke ekuseni kakhulu sekukhanya kini, lihambe.
Egaa amma kaʼiitii tajaajiltoota gooftaa keetii kanneen si wajjin dhufan wajjin ganamaan akkuma lafti ifeen deemaa.”
11 Ngakho uDavida wavuka ngovivi, yena labantu bakhe, ukuhamba ekuseni, ukuthi babuyele elizweni lamaFilisti. AmaFilisti asesenyukela eJizereyeli.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa ganama bariin kaʼanii gara biyya Filisxeemotaa dhaquuf qajeelan; Filisxeemonni immoo gara Yizriʼeelitti ol baʼan.
