1 Saamuʼeel 24
1 Erga Saaʼol Filisxeemota ariʼuu irraa deebiʼee booddee, “Daawit Gammoojjii Een Gaad keessa jira” jedhanii isatti himan.
Kwathi uSawuli esebuyile ekuxotsheni amaFilistiya watshelwa ukuthi, “UDavida useNkangala yase-Eni-Gedi.”
2 Kana irratti Saaʼol guutummaa Israaʼel keessaa namoota filatamoo kuma sadii fudhatee Daawitii fi namoota isaa barbaacha gara Kattaa Reʼoota diidaa dhaqe.
Ngakho uSawuli wathatha abantu abazinkulungwane ezintantu abakhethwa ko-Israyeli waphuma ukuyadinga uDavida labantu bakhe eduze kwamadwala amaGogo.
3 Saaʼolis gara dallaa hoolotaa kan karaa cinaa sanaa dhufe; holqa tokkotu achi ture; Saaʼolis gad taaʼuuf achi seene. Daawitii fi namoonni isaas holquma sana keessa achi fagaatanii turan.
Wafika ezibayeni zezimvu endleleni; kwakulobhalu khonapho, yikho uSawuli wasengena phakathi ukuba aye ngaphandle. UDavida labantu bakhe babekhatshana emuva phakathi kobhalu.
4 Namoonni Daawitis, “Guyyaan Waaqayyo, ‘Ani akka ati akkuma feete isa gootuuf diina kee dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna’ jedhee waaʼee isaa sitti hime sun harʼa” isaan jedhan. Daawitis lafa irra looʼee utuu hin beekamin fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol irraa kute.
Abantu bathi, “Leli yilo ilanga uThixo akhuluma ngalo lapho wathi kuwe, ‘Ngizanikela izitha zakho ezandleni zakho ukuba uziphathe njengokufisa kwakho.’” UDavida wanyenya egaqa waquma umphetho wesembatho sikaSawuli.
5 Kana booddee Daawit waan fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol kuteef ni gaabbe.
Muva uDavida wakhathazeka ngokuquma umphetho wesembatho sikaSawuli.
6 Namoota isaatiinis, “Gooftaa koo kan Waaqayyo dibetti waan akkasii gochuu yookaan harka koo isatti ol kaafachuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa oolchu; inni dibamaa Waaqayyootii” jedhe.
Wathi ebantwini bakhe, “Uthixo kakwenqabele ukwenza into enje enkosini yami, ogcotshiweyo kaThixo.”
7 Daawitis dubbii kanaan namoota isaa ifatee akka isaan Saaʼolin hin tuqne godhe. Saaʼolis holqa sana keessaa baʼee qajeele.
Ngala amazwi uDavida wabakhuza abantu bakhe akaze wabavumela ukuthi bahlasele uSawuli. USawuli waphuma ebhalwini wazihambela.
8 Ergasii Daawit holqa sana keessaa baʼee, “Yaa gooftaa koo mootii!” jedhee Saaʼolin waame. Yeroo Saaʼol of irra garagalee ilaaletti Daawit gad jedhee, addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
Lapho-ke uDavida waphuma ebhalwini wamemeza uSawuli esithi, “nkosi, nkosi yami!” Kwathi lapho uSawuli ekhangela emuva kwakhe, uDavida wakhothama waselala phansi ethe mbo phansi ngobuso.
9 Innis Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif dubbii namoonni, ‘Daawit si miidhuu barbaada’ jedhan dhageessa?
Wathi kuSawuli, “Kungani ulalela nxa abantu besithi, ‘UDavida ujonge ukwenza okubi kuwe’?
10 Akka Waaqayyo holqa kana keessatti dabarsee harka kootti si kenne harʼa ijuma keetiin argiteerta. Namoonni tokko tokko akka ani si ajjeesu na gorsan; ani garuu si ajjeesuu nan dide; anis, ‘Sababii inni dibamaa Waaqayyoo taʼeef, ani gooftaa kootti harka koo ol hin fudhadhun’ jedhe.
Lamhla uzibonele ngamehlo akho ukuthi uThixo ukunikele ezandleni zami ebhalwini. Abanye bangikhuthaze ukuthi ngikubulale, kodwa ngikuphephisile, ngithe, ‘Angiyikuphakamisa isandla sami ngimelana lenkosi yami, ngoba ingogcotshiweyo kaThixo.’
11 Yaa abbaa ko, kunoo fiixee wayyaa keetii harka koo keessatti ilaali! Ani fiixee wayyaa keetii nan kute; garuu si hin ajjeefne. Egaa akka ani yakka hin qabnee fi fincilaa hin taʼin hubadhu. Ani homaa si hin goone; ati garuu na ajjeesuuf na adamsaa jirta.
Khangela, baba, khangela isiqa sesembatho sakho lesi esisesandleni sami! Ngisiqume emphethweni wesembatho sakho, kodwa kangikubulalanga. Ngakho zwisisa ubone ukuthi kangilacala lokwenza okubi loba ukuhlamuka. Kangonanga lutho kuwe, kodwa wena uyangizingela ufuna ukungibulala.
12 Waaqayyo siʼii fi ana gidduutti murtii haa kennu. Yakka ati natti hojjette Waaqayyo haaloo haa baasu; ani garuu harka kootiinuu si hin tuqu.
Sengathi uThixo angahlulela phakathi kwami lawe. Njalo sengathi uThixo angaphindisela ububi obenze kimi, kodwa esami isandla kasiyikukuthinta.
13 Akkuma mammaaksi durii, ‘Namoota hamoo irraa waan hamaatu dhufa’ jedhu sana harki koo si hin tuqu.
Njengoba isitsho sendulo sisitsho ukuthi, ‘Kwabenza okubi kuvela izenzo ezimbi,’ ngakho esami isandla kasiyikukuthinta.
14 “Mootiin Israaʼel eenyun adamsuuf gad baʼee? Ati eenyuun ariʼaa jirta? Saree duutee? Tafkiidhaa?
Inkosi yako-Israyeli iphume ukuyamelana lobani na? Ngubani oxotshana laye? Yinja efileyo na? Yindwebundwebu na?
15 Waaqayyo abbaa murtii nuuf taʼee gidduu keenyatti haa murteessu. Inni dubbii koo ilaalee naaf haa falmu; harka kee jalaas na haa baasu.”
Sengathi uThixo angaba ngumahluleli wethu ahlulele phakathi kwethu. Sengathi angahlola injongo yami ayisekele; sengathi angangikhulula ngokungisindisa esandleni sakho.”
16 Yeroo Daawit waan kana dubbatee xumuretti Saaʼol, “Daawit yaa ilma ko, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhee gaafate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukutsho lokhu, uSawuli wabuza wathi, “Lelo yilizwi lakho, Davida ndodana yami na?” Wasekhala kakhulu.
17 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ati na caalaa nama qajeelaa dha; yeroo ani waan hamaa sitti yaadetti ati immoo waan gaarii naa goote.
Wasesithi, “Wena ulungile kakhulu kulami. Ungiphathe kuhle, kodwa mina ngikuphathe kubi.
18 Ati waan gaarii naaf goote amma natti himteerta; Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keetti na kennee ture; ati garuu na hin ajjeefne.
Usungitshelile khathesi nje okuhle okwenze kimi; uThixo unginikele ezandleni zakho, kodwa kawungibulalanga.
19 Namni tokko yeroo diina isaa argutti utuu hin miidhin gad dhiisaa? Waan ati harʼa naa goote kanaaf Waaqayyo gatii siif haa kennu.
Kanje nxa umuntu efica isitha sakhe, uyasiyekela sihambe singenziwanga lutho olubi na? Sengathi uThixo angakunika umvuzo omuhle ngenxa yendlela ongiphathe ngayo lamhla.
20 Akka ati dhugumaan mootii taatuu fi akka mootummaan Israaʼel harka keetti jabaatee dhaabatu anuu beeka.
Ngiyakwazi ukuthi uzakuba yinkosi impela kanye lokuthi umbuso wako-Israyeli uzamiswa ezandleni zakho.
21 Ati akka sanyii koo hin balleessine yookaan akka maqaa koos maatii abbaa koo keessaa hin balleessine amma maqaa Waaqayyootiin naaf kakadhu.”
Khathesi-ke funga kimi ngo Thixo ukuthi kawuyikubulala inzalo yami loba wesule ibizo lami kwabendlu kababa.”
22 Kana irratti Daawit Saaʼoliif kakate. Ergasii Saaʼol manatti gale; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa garuu daʼannootti deebiʼan.
UDavida wafunga kuSawuli. Emva kwalokho uSawuli wabuyela ekhaya, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe baya enqabeni.
