1 Kwasekusiba khona indlala ensukwini zikaDavida iminyaka emithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka ilandelana; uDavida wadinga ubuso beNkosi. INkosi yasisithi: Kungenxa kaSawuli langenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi, ngoba wabulala amaGibeyoni.
Dɔ to ƒe etɔ̃ sɔŋ le David ƒe fiaɖuɣi. David do gbe ɖa na Yehowa ɖe eta eye Yehowa gblɔ na David be, “Dɔ sia to le Saul kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta elabena wowu Gibeontɔwo.”
2 Ngakho inkosi yabiza amaGibeyoni yathi kuwo: (AmaGibeyoni-ke ayengeyisiwo awabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa ayengawensali yamaAmori; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli babefungile kuwo; uSawuli wasedinga ukuwatshaya ekutshisekeleni kwakhe abantwana bakoIsrayeli loJuda.)
Ale Fia David yɔ Gibeontɔwo ƒo ƒu. Womenye Israelviwo o, ke boŋ wonye Amoritɔ siwo susɔ. Israel ka atam be yemawu wo o, ke Saul di be yeatsrɔ̃ wo le ŋuʋaʋã ɖe Israel kple Yuda nu ta.
3 Ngakho uDavida wathi kumaGibeyoni: Ngingalenzelani? Ngingayenza ngani inhlawulo yokuthula ukuze libusise ilifa leNkosi?
David bia wo be, “Nu ka mate ŋu awɔ na mi be nu vɔ̃ sia naɖe ɖa le mia dzi eye wòana miabia Mawu be wòayra mi?”
4 AmaGibeyoni asesithi kuye: Kayisindaba yesiliva kumbe igolide loSawuli lendlu yakhe; futhi kakusikwethu ukubulala umuntu koIsrayeli. Wasesithi: Lokho elikutshoyo ngizalenzela khona.
Gibeontɔwo ɖo eŋu be, “Ga mawɔ naneke tso nya sia ŋu o eye míedi be woatsɔ hlɔ̃biabia awu Israelviwo hã o.” David bia be, “Ekema nu ka mawɔ? Migblɔe nam ko eye mawɔe na mi.”
5 Basebesithi enkosini: Umuntu owasiqedayo, owaceba emelene lathi ukuthi sichithwe singasali lakuwuphi umngcele wakoIsrayeli,
Woɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Le ame si tsrɔ̃ mí eye wòɖo nugbe ɖe mía ŋu, na wowu mía dometɔ aɖewo eye teƒe aɖeke mele mía si le Israel ƒe akpa aɖeke o ta la,
6 kasinikwe amadoda ayisikhombisa emadodaneni akhe, njalo siwaphanyekele iNkosi eGibeya kaSawuli, okhethiweyo weNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi: Mina ngizalipha.
na woatsɔ via ŋutsu adre na mí eye míawu wo le Yehowa ŋkume le Gibea si nye Saul, Yehowa ƒe ame tiatia la ƒe du la me.” Fia la gblɔ be, “Matsɔ wo na mi.”
7 Kodwa inkosi yamyekela uMefiboshethi indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawuli ngenxa yesifungo seNkosi esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi kukaDavida loJonathani indodana kaSawuli.
Ena Yonatan ƒe viŋutsu Mefiboset, ame si nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi la tsi agbe le atam si eya kple Yonatan ka na wo nɔewo la ta.
8 Kodwa inkosi yathatha amadodana amabili kaRizipa indodakazi kaAya ayewazalele uSawuli, uArimoni loMefiboshethi, lamadodana amahlanu kadadewabo kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli ayewazalele uAdriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMehola,
Ke etsɔ Rizpa ƒe viŋutsu eveawo, Armoni kple Mefiboset ame siwo nye Saul ƒe tɔgbuiyɔviwo to srɔ̃a Aya dzi la na wo. Eɖe asi le Saul ƒe vinyɔnu Merab ƒe viŋutsu atɔ̃ siwo wòdzi na Adriel si nye Barzilai, Meholatitɔ la hã ŋu na wo.
9 yabanikela esandleni samaGibeyoni, asebaphanyeka entabeni phambi kweNkosi, njalo abayisikhombisa bawa kanyekanye. Babulawa ensukwini zokuvuna, ensukwini zakuqala ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali.
Gibeontɔwo he wo ɖe ati ŋu le toa dzi le Yehowa ŋkume. Ale wo ame adreawo katã ku zi ɖeka le luxaɣi la ƒe gɔmedzedze.
10 URizipa indodakazi kaAya wasethatha isaka, wazendlalela lona phezu kwedwala, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kwaze kwathonta amanzi phezu kwabo evela emazulwini; kavumelanga inyoni zamazulu ukuthi zihlale phezu kwabo emini, lezilo zeganga ebusuku.
Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si nye ŋutsu eveawo dada la keke akpanya ɖe agakpe aɖe dzi eye wònɔ afi ma le viawo ƒe kukuawo gbɔ tso nuxaɣi va se ɖe tsidzaŋɔli la, ale be akagawo mavuvu wo le ŋkeke me o eye lã wɔadãwo hã maɖu wo le zã me o.
11 Kwasekubikelwa uDavida lokho uRizipa indodakazi kaAya, umfazi omncane kaSawuli, ayekwenzile.
Esi David se nu si Rizpa, Aya ƒe vinyɔnu, Saul ƒe ahiãvi wɔ la,
12 UDavida wasehamba wayathatha amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi ababewebile emdangeni weBeti-Shani, lapho amaFilisti ayebaphanyeke khona mhla amaFilisti etshaya uSawuli eGilibowa.

13 Wasesenyusa esuka lapho amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe; basebeqoqa amathambo awababephanyekiwe.
David lɔ Saul kple Yonatan ƒe ƒuwo eye wòƒo ƒu Saul ƒe vi adreawo hã ƒe ƒuwo.
14 Basebewangcwaba amathambo kaSawuli lakaJonathani indodana yakhe elizweni lakoBhenjamini eZela, engcwabeni likaKishi uyise. Benza konke inkosi eyayibalaye khona. Njalo emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wancengeka ngenxa yelizwe.

15 AmaFilisti abuye aba lempi futhi loIsrayeli; uDavida wasesehla lenceku zakhe kanye laye, njalo balwa lamaFilisti; uDavida wasedinwa.

17 Kodwa uAbishayi indodana kaZeruya wamsiza, wamtshaya umFilisti wambulala. Khona abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye besithi: Kawusayikuphuma impi lathi, hlezi ucitshe isibane sikaIsrayeli.
