1 Erga Daawit Saaʼol wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee, lubbuun Yoonaataan lubbuu Daawititti maxxante; Yoonaataanis akkuma lubbuu ofii isaatti isa jaallate.
Kwasekusithi eseqedile ukukhuluma loSawuli, umphefumulo kaJonathani wabotshelwa emphefumulweni kaDavida; uJonathani wasemthanda njengomphefumulo wakhe.
2 Saaʼolis gaafa sanaa jalqabee Daawitin ofitti fudhate; akka inni gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼus hin eeyyamneef.
USawuli wasemthatha ngalolosuku, kaze amvumela ukubuyela endlini kayise.
3 Yoonaataan sababii akka mataa isaatti isa jaallateef Daawit wajjin kakuu seene.
UJonathani loDavida basebesenza isivumelwano ngoba wamthanda njengomphefumulo wakhe.
4 Yoonaataanis qoloo uffatee ture of irraa baasee kittaa isaa, goraadee isaa, iddaa isaatii fi sabbata isaa dabalee Daawitiif kenne.
UJonathani wasezikhulula ibhatshi ayeligqokile, walinika uDavida, lezembatho zakhe, kuze kube senkembeni yakhe, kuze kube sedandilini lakhe, njalo kuze kube sebhantini lakhe.
5 Daawit iddoo Saaʼol itti isa erge hunda dhaqee ni milkaaʼa ture. Saaʼolis namoota waraanaa irratti isa sadarkaa ol aanaa kenneef. Wanni kunis saba hundaa fi tajaajiltoota Saaʼol hunda gammachiise.
UDavida wasephuma waya loba ngaphi lapho uSawuli amthuma khona, waziphatha ngenhlakanipho, uSawuli waze wambeka phezu kwamadoda empi. Njalo wayelungile emehlweni abantu bonke njalo lemehlweni ezinceku zikaSawuli.
6 Dubartoonnis erga Daawit Filisxeemicha ajjeesee booddee yommuu namoonni gara mana ofii isaaniitti deebiʼanitti magaalaawwan Israaʼel hunda keessaa masiinqoo fi dibbee qabatanii faarfannaa gammachuutiin faarfachaa fi shuubbisaa Saaʼol mooticha simachuuf baʼan.
Kwasekusithi ekufikeni kwabo, uDavida esebuye ekubulaleni umFilisti, abesifazana baphuma emizini yonke yakoIsrayeli, behlabela, begida, ukuhlangabeza uSawuli inkosi ngezigubhu, ngentokozo, langamachacho.
7 Dubartoonni sunis wal jalaa qabanii: “Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatamaa ajjeese” jedhanii faarfatan.
Abesifazana basebevumelana bedlala bathi: USawuli utshayile izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida izinkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi.
8 Saaʼol akka malee aare; jechi kunis isa hin gammachiifne. Innis, “Isaan Daawitiif kuma kumaatama kennan; anaaf garuu kumaatama qofa kennan. Mootummaa fudhachuu malee maaltu isa hafe?” jedhee yaade.
USawuli wasethukuthela kakhulu, lalelolizwi lalilibi emehlweni akhe, wathi: Banike uDavida izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi, kodwa mina banginika izinkulungwane; usesalelwe ngumbuso kuphela.
9 Gaafasii jalqabee Saaʼol ija hinaaffaatiin Daawitin ilaala ture.
USawuli wasemqaphela uDavida kusukela kulolosuku kusiya phambili.
10 Guyyaa itti aanutti hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa humnaan Saaʼolitti dhufe. Innis mana isaa keessatti raajii dubbachaa ture; Daawit immoo akkuma duraan godhu sana baganaa taphachaa ture. Saaʼolis eeboo harkatti qabatee ture;
Kwasekusithi kusisa umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu wafika ngamandla phezu kukaSawuli, waprofetha phakathi kwendlu; uDavida wasetshaya ichacho ngesandla sakhe njengensuku ngensuku; njalo kwakulomkhonto esandleni sikaSawuli.
11 innis, “Ani Daawitin keenyanittan hodha” jedhee waan yaadeef eeboo itti darbate. Daawit garuu yeroo lama isa duraa miliqe.
USawuli wasewuphosa umkhonto wathi: Ngizammbandakanya uDavida ngitsho emdulini. Kodwa uDavida wavika kabili esuka phambi kwakhe.
12 Saaʼolis Daawitin sodaate; Waaqayyo Saaʼolin dhiisee Daawit wajjin tureetii.
USawuli wayemesaba-ke uDavida ngoba iNkosi yayilaye, kodwa yayisisukile kuSawuli.
13 Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitin fuula ofii isaa duraa fageessee ajajaa kumaa isa godhe; Daawitis loltoota hoogganee ni baʼa; ni galas ture.
Ngakho uSawuli wasemsusa kuye, wambeka waba yinduna yakhe yabayizinkulungwane; njalo wayephuma engena phambi kwabantu.
14 Sababii Waaqayyo isa wajjin tureef inni waan hojjetu hundumaan ni milkaaʼa ture.
UDavida waseziphatha ngenhlakanipho endleleni zakhe zonke, leNkosi yayilaye.
15 Saaʼolis yeroo akka inni milkaaʼe argetti isa ni sodaate.
Lapho uSawuli ebona ukuthi waziphatha ngenhlakanipho enkulu, wamesaba.
16 Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaan hundi garuu Daawitin ni jaallatan; inni fuula isaanii dura ni baʼa; ni galas tureetii.
Kodwa uIsrayeli wonke loJuda bamthanda uDavida, ngoba wayephuma engena phambi kwabo.
17 Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Meerab intalli koo hangafti kunoo ti; ati jagnummaan lola Waaqayyoo loli malee ani ishee sitti nan heerumsiisa” jedhe. Saaʼol, “Harki Filisxeemotaa isa irratti haa kaʼu malee ani harka koo isa irratti hin kaasu” jedhee yaadaa tureetii.
USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Khangela, indodakazi yami endala uMerabi, ngizakunika yona ibe ngumkakho; kuphela bana liqhawe kimi, ulwe izimpi zeNkosi. Ngoba uSawuli wathi: Isandla sami kasingabi phezu kwakhe, kodwa isandla samaFilisti kasibe phezu kwakhe.
18 Daawit garuu Saaʼoliin, “Soddaa mootii taʼuuf ani eenyu? Maatiin koo yookaan gosti abbaa koo Israaʼel keessatti maali?” jedhe.
Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Ngingubani mina? Lempilo yami iyini, losendo lukababa koIsrayeli, ukuthi ngibe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi?
19 Kanaafuu yommuu yeroon itti Meerab intalli Saaʼol Daawititti heerumtu dhiʼaatetti isheen Adriiʼeel nama biyya Mehoolaatitti heerumte.
Kodwa kwathi ngesikhathi uMerabi indodakazi kaSawuli ayezanikwa ngaso uDavida, wayesenikwe uAdriyeli umMehola ukuba ngumkakhe.
20 Miikaal intalli Saaʼolis Daawitin jaallattee turte; Saaʼolis yeroo waaʼee kanaa dhagaʼetti ni gammade.
UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wamthanda-ke uDavida; basebemtshela uSawuli, lalolodaba lwaluqondile emehlweni akhe.
21 Innis, “Akka isheen kiyyoo isatti taatuu fi akka harki Filisxeemotaa isa argatuuf ani ishee isatti nan heerumsiisa” jedhee yaade. Kanaafuu Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Ati amma soddaa koo taʼuuf carraa lammaffaa qabda” jedhe.
USawuli wasesithi: Ngizamnika yena ukuze abe ngumjibila kuye, lokuze isandla samaFilisti simelane laye. Ngakho uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ngokwesibili uzakuba ngumkhwenyana wami lamuhla.
22 Ergasiis Saaʼol, “‘Kunoo mootiin sitti gammada; tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus si jaallatu; ati amma soddaa isaa taʼi’ jedhaatii dhoksaadhaan Daawititti himaa” jedhee tajaajiltoota isaa ajaje.
USawuli waselaya inceku zakhe wathi: Khulumani loDavida ngensitha lithi: Khangela, inkosi iyathokoza ngawe, lazo zonke inceku zayo ziyakuthanda; ngakho-ke woba ngumkhwenyana wenkosi.
23 Isaanis irra deebiʼanii waan kana Daawititti himan; Daawit garuu, “Soddaa mootii taʼuun waanuma salphaa seetanii? Ani hiyyeessa; nama hamma kanatti beekamus miti” jedhe.
Izinceku zikaSawuli zasezikhuluma lawomazwi endlebeni zikaDavida. UDavida wasesithi: Kuyinto elula yini emehlweni enu ukuba ngumkhwenyana wenkosi, lokhu mina ngingumuntu ongumyanga lodelelekayo?
24 Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol waan Daawit jedhe isatti himan;
Lenceku zikaSawuli zamtshela zisithi: UDavida wakhuluma ngalindlela.
25 Saaʼol immoo, “‘Mootichi diinota isaa haaloo baʼuuf misaa Filisxeemotaa dhibba tokko malee gabbara biraa tokko illee sirraa hin barbaadu’ jedhaatii Daawititti himaa” jedhe. Karoorri Saaʼol akka Daawit harka Filisxeemotaatti kufu ture.
USawuli wasesithi: Lizakutsho njalo kuDavida lithi: Inkosi kayiloyisi lobolo, kodwa amajwabu aphambili alikhulu amaFilisti, ukuze kuphindiselwe ezitheni zenkosi. Kodwa uSawuli wacabanga ukwenza uDavida awe ngesandla samaFilisti.
26 Yommuu tajaajiltoonni sun waan kana Daawititti himanitti, Daawit soddaa mootii taʼuuf ni gammade. Kanaafuu utuu yeroon isaa hin gaʼin,
Lapho inceku zakhe zimtshela uDavida lawomazwi, udaba lwalulungile emehlweni kaDavida ukuthi abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi. Kodwa insuku zazingakagcwaliseki.
27 Daawitii fi namoonni isaa dhaqanii Filisxeemota dhibba lama ajjeesan. Daawitis soddaa mootii taʼuuf jedhee misaa Filisxeemota ajjeefamanii hunda fidee mootichatti kenne. Kana irratti Saaʼol intala isaa Miikaalin isatti heerumsiise.
Ngakho uDavida wasukuma wahamba, yena labantu bakhe, basebetshaya phakathi kwamaFilisti amadoda angamakhulu amabili; uDavida waseletha amajwabu awo aphambili, wawasa enkosini ephelele ukuze abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi. USawuli wasemnika uMikhali indodakazi yakhe ukuthi abe ngumkakhe.
28 Saaʼol yommuu akka Waaqayyo Daawit wajjin jiruu fi akka Miikaal isa jaallate hubatetti,
USawuli wasebona wazi ukuthi iNkosi iloDavida, loMikhali indodakazi yakhe yamthanda.
29 ammas akka malee isa sodaate; bara jireenya isaa kan hafe hundas diina isaa taʼee jiraate.
Njalo uSawuli waya lokhu emesaba kakhulu uDavida; njalo uSawuli waba yisitha sikaDavida zonke izinsuku.
30 Ajajjoonni waraana Filisxeemotaas yeroo hedduu waraanaaf ni baʼu turan; yeroo isaan waraanaaf baʼan hundas Daawit qondaaltota Saaʼol kaan caalaa moʼannaa argata ture; maqaan isaas baayʼee beekame.
Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zaseziphuma; kwasekusithi seziphumile uDavida waziphatha ngenhlakanipho okwedlula zonke izinceku zikaSawuli, laze laduma kakhulu ibizo lakhe.
