Hagi 3'a zage kna evutege'za Deviti'ene sondia vahe'amo'zanena Ziklag kumate uhanati'za ome kazana, Ameleki vahe'mo'za ha' eme hu'za, Ziklagi kuma'ene Negevi kuma'enana teve taginte'za kre'naze.

Hagi Ameleki sondia vahe'mo'za ana kumate a'mofavrene maka vahe'enena zamahe ofri amne zamavare'za vu'naze.

3 Lapho uDavida labantu bakhe befika emzini, khangela, wawutshisiwe ngomlilo, labomkabo, lamadodana abo lamadodakazi abo sebethunjiwe.

4 UDavida labantu ababelaye basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi akaze aba khona kubo amandla okukhala.

Ana'ma hazazanku Deviti'ene sondia vahe'anena tusiza hu'za zavira netageno hankave'zimia omanege'za mago'anena zavira ote'naze.

5 OmkaDavida bobabili labo babethunjiwe, uAhinowama umJizereyelikazi loAbigayili umkaNabali weKharmeli.

Hagi anampina ana vahe'mo'za Devitina tare a'trema'a, Jezrili kumateti a' Ahinoamune, Kameli kumateti Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea a' Abigelinena zanavre'za vu'naze.

6 UDavida wasecindezeleka kakhulu, ngoba abantu babekhuluma ngokumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba umphefumulo wabantu bonke wawubuhlungu, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yamadodana langenxa yamadodakazi akhe. Kodwa uDavida waziqinisa ngeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Hagi Deviti'a ranknazampi mani'ne. Na'ankure agranema vanoma nehaza vene'nemo'za a'mofavre zamigura tusiza hu'za zamasunkura nehu'za Devitina havenkno ahegahune hu'naze. Hianagi Deviti'a Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofontega nunamu higeno, Anumzamo'a hanave ami'ne.

7 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha umpristi indodana kaAhimeleki: Akungilethele lapha i-efodi. UAbhiyatha waseyiletha i-efodi kuDavida.

Anante Deviti'a pristi ne' Ahimeleki nemofo Abiata asamino, muse hugantoanki 12fua havema me'nea kukenama pristi vahe'mo'za zamimizare'ma nentaza kukena erinka eno, higeno Abiata'a ana kukena erino e'ne.

8 UDavida wasebuza eNkosini esithi: Ngixotshane laleliviyo yini? Ngizalifica yini? Yasisithi kuye: Xotshana lalo, ngoba uzalifica lokulifica, ubakhulule lokubakhulula.

Anante Deviti'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno antahige'ne, Knare ana vahera zamarotgo hu'na ome zamazerigahufi? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a asamino, Kagra amane ome zamazerinka ana maka vahe'ene a'mofavrenena zamagu vazigahananki zamarotgo hunka vuo huno asami'ne.

9 Ngakho uDavida wahamba, yena labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ababelaye, bafika esifuleni iBesori lapho abasalayo bahlala khona.

Hagi Deviti'a 600'a sondia vahe'a zamavareno Besori tinkrahopi uravao hu'naze.

10 Kodwa uDavida waxotshana labo, yena labantu abangamakhulu amane; ngoba abangamakhulu amabili basala, ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakuchapha isifula iBesori.

Hanki ana tinkrahopina 200'a sondia vahe'mo'za zamavaresragu hu'za umanizage'za, Deviti'enena 400'a sondia vahe'mo'zaana vahera zamarotago hu'za vu'naze.

11 Basebefica umGibhithe emmangweni, bamletha kuDavida, bamnika ukudla, wadla, bamnathisa amanzi;

Hagi sondia vahe'amo'za, mago Isipi ne' ome nege'za, avre'za Devitinte e'naze. Hagi ana nera zamagra bretine tinena amizageno ne'ne.

12 bamnika ucezu lwesinkwa somkhiwa lamahlukuzo amabili ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo. Kwathi esedlile umoya wabuyela kuye, ngoba wayengadlanga kudla, enganathanga manzi, insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.

Hagi mago'a fiki raga'a regripe'za eri'nazane, waini raga eri'nazana ana nera ami'naze. Na'ankure agra ne'zane tinena 3'a zagene hanine oneneanki'za ami'zageno neno hanavea eri'ne.

13 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi: Ngilijaha leGibhithe, inceku yomAmaleki, lenkosi yami ingitshiyile ngoba bengigula okwensuku ezintathu.

Hagi Deviti'a ana nera antahigeno, Kagra igati ne' mani'nane? Higeno ana ne'mo'a kenona huno, nagra Isipi neki'na, Ameleki vahe'mokizmi eri'za ne' mani'noe. Hagi kvanimo'a kri erugeno eme natreno vige'na 3'a kna mani'noe.

14 Thina besihlasela iningizimu yamaKerethi, lakwelakoJuda, leningizimu yakoKalebi, leZikilagi sayitshisa ngomlilo.

Tagra Negevi kaziga vuta Kereti vahe'ene Juda vahe'ene Kalepi vahe ha' ome huzamanteteta, Ziklag kumara teve ome taginteta negreta e'none.

15 UDavida wasesithi kulo: Ungangehlisela kuleloviyo yini? Laselisithi: Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi kawuyikungibulala, njalo kawuyikunginikela esandleni senkosi yami, besengikwehlisela kuleloviyo.

Hagi Deviti'a ana nera antahigeno, Kagra knare navrenka ana Ameleki vahetera vugahano? Higeno ana ne'mo'a huno, Kavre'na vugahuanagi, kagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage hunka nagrira nahe ofrige, kvani'amofo azampi navrenka ome ogantegahue hunka huvempage hutege'na, kavre'na va'neno.

16 Selimehlisile, khangela, babehlakazekile ebusweni bomhlaba wonke, besidla, benatha, begidela impango enkulu ababeyithethe elizweni lamaFilisti lelizweni lakoJuda.

Hagi ana Isipi ne'mo'a, Devitina avreno Ameleki vahe'ma mani'narega vigeno ome keana, Ameleki vahe'mo'za umani emani hu'neza ne'za kre'za nene'za musenkase nehu'za mani'naze. Na'ankure Filistia vahe mopafinti'ene Juda vahe mopafinti'ma rama'a zama eri'za e'naza zanku musenkase nehazageno zamage'ne.

17 UDavida wasebatshaya kusukela libantubahle kwaze kwaba kusihlwa kosuku olulandelayo lwabo. Njalo kakuphunyukanga muntu kubo, ngaphandle kwamajaha angamakhulu amane, agada amakamela, abaleka.

Hagi Deviti'a sondia vahe'ane ana kumate umani'nageno rehanima hiama'a hara erigafa hu'za nehzageno, vuno kotuno anante knamofona kinaga omese'ne. Hagi ana ha'pina maka Ameleki vahera zamahe fri'ne. Hianagi 400'a vahe'moke'za kemori afutamimofo zamagumpi mani'za koro atre'za fre'naze.

18 UDavida wasekhulula konke amaAmaleki ayekuthethe, labomkakhe bobabili uDavida wabakhulula.

Hagi Deviti'a tare atrema'a neznavreno Ameleki vahe'mo'za eri'za e'naza zana maka ete eri vagare'ne.

19 Njalo kakusilelanga lutho kubo kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu, kuze kube semadodaneni lemadodakazini, lempangweni, ngitsho lakuphi ababezithathele khona; uDavida wakubuyisa konke.

Hagi mago zamo'a fanane osu'neanki, osi'zama razama mofa'nema nemofavreramina nezamavareno, maka zazmima eri'za e'nazana eri vagareno Deviti'a vu'ne.

20 UDavida wasethatha zonke izimvu lenkomo. Baziqhuba phambi kwenkomo lezo, bathi: Le yimpango kaDavida.

Hagi maka bulimakaone, sipisipi afutaminema Ameleki vahe'mo'zama avre'za vu'naza zana maka Devitia erino ne-ege'za ha'ma ome hu'za eri'za bulimakaone sipisipi afutaminena avregota hu'za ne-eza amanage hu'naze, Deviti'ma ha'ma huno eri'nea zantamine.

21 UDavida wasefika kulabobantu abangamakhulu amabili ababekhathele kakhulu ukuthi babengelakulandela uDavida, abathi kabahlale esifuleni seBesori; basebephuma ukumhlangabeza uDavida lokuhlangabeza abantu ababelaye. Lapho uDavida esondela kubantu, wababuza impilakahle.

Higeno Besori tinte'ma 200'a vahe'ma hankavezimi omanege'za emeni'nare uhanatige'za, ana vahe'mo'za Devitine agri'enema aza vahera nezamage'za hu frufra ke huzamantageno, Deviti'enena muse nehuno hu frufra huzmante'ne.

22 Basebephendula bonke abantu ababi labakaBheliyali phakathi kwabantu ababehambe loDavida bathi: Njengoba bengahambanga lathi, kasiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhululileyo, ngaphandle kwakuleyo laleyondoda umkayo labantwana bayo, ukuthi babakhokhele bahambe.

Hagi Deviti'enema hate'ma vu'naza vahepintira mago'a hazenke vahe'mo'za, anage hu'naze, Zamagra tagri'enena ovu'nazankita ha'pinti'ma eri'nona zantamina refko huta ozamigahunanki, a'mofavre'zimige zaminunke'za zamavare'za vugahaze.

23 Kodwa uDavida wathi: Kaliyikwenza njalo, bafowethu, ngalokho iNkosi esiphe khona, esilondolozileyo, yanikela esandleni sethu iviyo eleza lamelana lathi.

Hu'neanagi Deviti'a amanage hu'ne, Nafuheta Ra Anumzamo tami'nea zantamina anara osugahune. Agrake taza nehigeta kumatima eri haviza hu'naza vahera zamaheta ete mikazana erita e'nonku, tagragukera ontahigahune.

24 Pho, ngubani ozalilalela kuloludaba? Ngoba njengesabelo salowo owehlela empini sinjalo isabelo salowo ohlala lempahla; bazakwabelana ngokulinganayo.

Hagi iza tamagri kegura tamage huno hugnarera hugahie? Hagi fenotire'ma kegava hu'za hate'ma ovu'naza vahe'ene hate'ma vu'naza vahe'enena, maka zana ana avamenteke refko huta erigahune.

25 Kwasekusiba njalo kusukela mhlalokho kusiya phambili, ukuthi wakwenza kwaba yisimiso lesimiselo koIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla.

Hagi Devitima e'ina'ma hu'nea zamo'a mago kasegegna huno Israeli vahepina me'negeno eno, meni ama knarera ehanati'ne.

26 UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathumela okwempango kubadala bakoJuda, kubo abangane bakhe, esithi: Khangela, isibusiso senu esivela empangweni yezitha zeNkosi.

Hagi Deviti'ma Ziklag kumate'ma unehanatino'a hapinti'ma eri'nea zantamina rone'amokizmi Juda ranra vahe'mokizmi refko huntenezmanteno, ana vahera anage huno zamasami'ne, Ama muse zana Ra Anumzamofo ha' vahe'mokizmi zantami erita e'nonaza, mago'a refko huta eme neramune.

27 KwabeseBhetheli, lakwabaseRamothi yeningizimu, lakwabaseJatiri,
