2 USamuyeli 1
1 Kwasekusithi emva kokufa kukaSawuli, uDavida esephendukile ekutshayeni amaAmaleki, uDavida wahlala insuku ezimbili eZikilagi.
And it was after [the] death of Saul and David he returned from defeating Amalek and he remained David in Ziklag days two.
2 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu, khangela, kwafika umuntu evela enkambeni evela kuSawuli, ozigqoko zakhe zazidatshuliwe, elenhlabathi ekhanda lakhe. Kwasekusithi efika kuDavida wawela emhlabathini, wakhonza.
And it was - on the day third and there! a man [was] coming from the camp from with Saul and garments his [were] torn and earth [was] on head his and it was when came he to David and he fell [the] ground towards and he bowed down.
3 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi kuye: Ngiphephile enkambeni yakoIsrayeli.
And he said to him David where? from this are you coming and he said to him from [the] camp of Israel I have escaped.
4 UDavida wasesithi kuye: Lunjani udaba? Akungitshele. Wasesithi: Abantu babalekile empini, labanengi babantu labo bawile njalo bafile, uSawuli laye loJonathani indodana yakhe labo bafile.
And he said to him David what? was it the word tell please to me and he said that it has fled the people from the battle and also [surely] a multitude has fallen of the people and they have died and also Saul and Jonathan son his they have died.
5 UDavida wasesithi kulelojaha elalimbikela: Wazi njani ukuthi uSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe bafile?
And he said David to the young man who had told to him how? do you know that he has died Saul and Jonathan son his.
6 Lelojaha elalimbikela laselisithi: Kuthe ngisithi thutshu entabeni yeGilibowa, khangela, uSawuli eyeme emkhontweni wakhe, khangela-ke, inqola labagadi bamabhiza kwakumnamathele.
And he said the young man - who had told to him [surely] by chance I found myself on [the] mountain of Gilboa and there! Saul [was] leaning on spear his and there! the chariotry and [the] owners of the horses they overtook him.
7 Lapho enyemukula, wasengibona, wangibiza; ngasengisithi: Khangela ngilapha.
And he turned behind him and he saw me and he called to me and I said here [am] I.
8 Wasesithi kimi: Ungubani? Ngasengisithi kuye: NgingumAmaleki.
And he said to me who? [are] you (and I said *Q(K)*) to him [am] an Amalekite I.
9 Wasesithi kimi: Ake ume phezu kwami ungibulale; ngoba ubuhlungu obukhulu bungehlele, ngoba impilo yami isaphelele kimi.
And he said to me stand please over me and kill me for it has seized me dizziness for all still life my [is] in me.
10 Ngakho ngema phezu kwakhe ngambulala, ngoba ngazi ukuthi angeke aphile emva kokuwa kwakhe. Ngasengithatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe, lesongo elalisengalweni yakhe, ngikulethile lapha enkosini yami.
And I stood over him and I killed him for I knew that not he will live after had fallen he and I took the crown - which [was] on head his and an armlet which [was] on arm his and I brought them to lord my here.
11 UDavida wasebamba izigqoko zakhe wazidabula, njalo lawo wonke amadoda ayelaye.
And he took hold David (on garments his *Q(K)*) and he tore them and also all the men who [were] with him.
12 Basebelila, bakhala inyembezi, bazila ukudla kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawuli, langenxa kaJonathani indodana yakhe, langenxa yabantu beNkosi, langenxa yendlu kaIsrayeli, ngoba babewe ngenkemba.
And they mourned and they wept and they fasted until the evening on Saul and on Jonathan son his and on [the] people of Yahweh and on [the] house of Israel for they had fallen by the sword.
13 UDavida wasesithi kulelojaha elalimbikele: Uvela ngaphi? Laselisithi: Ngiyindodana yomuntu wezizweni, umAmaleki.
And he said David to the young man who had told to him where? from this [are] you and he said [am the] son of a man a sojourner an Amalekite I.
14 UDavida wasesithi kulo: Kawesabanga njani ukwelula isandla sakho ukubhubhisa ogcotshiweyo weNkosi?
And he said to him David how? not were you afraid to stretch out hand your to destroy [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.
15 UDavida wasebiza elinye lamajaha, wathi: Sondela ulidumele. Laselilitshaya laze lafa.
And he called David to one from the young men and he said draw near fall on him and he struck down him and he died.
16 UDavida wasesithi kulo: Igazi lakho kalibe phezu kwekhanda lakho; ngoba umlomo wakho ufakaze umelene lawe, usithi: Mina ngimbulele ogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
And he said to him David (blood your *Q(K)*) [be] on head your for own mouth your it has testified against you saying I I killed [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.
17 UDavida waselila lesisililo ngenxa kaSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe
And he lamented David the lamentation this on Saul and on Jonathan son his.
18 (lapho wathi kufundiswe abantwana bakoJuda "IDandili"; khangela, kubhaliwe egwalweni lukaJashari):
And he said to teach [the] descendants of Judah Bow here! [it is] written on [the] scroll of the Jashar.
19 Ubuhle bukaIsrayeli bubulewe ezindaweni zakho eziphakemeyo. Awe njani amaqhawe!
The beauty O Israel on high places your [is] slain how! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones].
20 Lingakukhulumi eGathi, lingakumemezeli ezitaladeni zeAshikeloni, hlezi athokoze amadodakazi amaFilisti, hlezi ajabule amadodakazi abangasokwanga.
May not you tell in Gath may not you bear news in [the] streets of Ashkelon lest they should rejoice [the] daughters of [the] Philistines lest they should exult [the] daughters of the uncircumcised.
21 Zintaba zeGilibowa, kakungabi khona amazolo kumbe izulu phezu kwenu, kumbe amasimu eminikelo. Ngoba izihlangu zamaqhawe zangcoliswa khona; isihlangu sikaSawuli singagcotshwanga ngamafutha.
O mountains in Gilboa may not dew and may not rain [be] on you and fields of contributions for there it was defiled [the] shield of [the] mighty [ones] [the] shield of Saul not [was] anointed with oil.
22 Egazini lababuleweyo, emahwahweni amaqhawe idandili likaJonathani kaliphendukanga, lenkemba kaSawuli kayibuyelanga ize.
From [the] blood of [those] slain from [the] fat of [the] mighty [ones] [the] bow of Jonathan not it turned back backwards and [the] sword of Saul not it returned empty.
23 USawuli loJonathani babethandeka bebahle empilweni zabo, lekufeni kwabo kabehlukaniswanga; babelesiqubu kulezinkozi, belamandla kulezilwane.
Saul and Jonathan lovable and pleasant in lives their and in death their not they were separated more than eagles they were swift more than lions they were strong.
24 Madodakazi akoIsrayeli, mkhaleleni inyembezi uSawuli, owaligqokisa ngokubomvu lentokozo, owafaka imiceciso yegolide phezu kwezigqoko zenu.
O daughters of Israel because of Saul weep who clothed you scarlet with luxuries who brought up ornament[s] of gold on clothing your.
25 Awe njani amaqhawe phakathi kwempi! Jonathani, ubulewe endaweni zakho eziphakemeyo!
How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] in [the] middle of the battle Jonathan on high places your [is] slain.
26 Ngidabukile ngawe, mfowethu Jonathani; ubumnandi kakhulu kimi, uthando lwakho belumangalisa kimi lusedlula uthando lwabesifazana.
It is distress to me on you O brother my Jonathan you were pleasant to me very it was wonderful love your to me more than [the] love of women.
27 Awe njani amaqhawe, zabhubha lezikhali zempi!
How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] and they have perished [the] weapons of war.
