1 Saamuʼeel 26
1 Namoonni Ziif gara Gibeʼaa Saaʼol bira dhaqanii, “Kunoo Daawit gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagaltu irra dhokatee jira mitii?” jedhan.
AmaZifi aya kuSawuli eGibhiya athi kuye, “UDavida kacatshanga entabeni yaseHakhila, ekhangele eJeshimoni na?”
2 Kanaafuu Saaʼol namoota Israaʼel keessaa filataman kuma sadii wajjin Daawitin barbaacha Gammoojjii Ziifitti gad buʼe.
Ngakho uSawuli waya eNkangala yaseZifi, elezinkulungwane ezintathu zabantu bakhe abakhethiweyo bako-Israyeli, ukuyadinga uDavida khona.
3 Saaʼol qubata isaa daandii gaara Hakiilaa kan Yasemoonitti garagalu sana cina dhaabbate; Daawit garuu gammoojjii keessa ture. Innis yeroo akka Saaʼol isa duukaa buʼaa jiru beeketti,
USawuli wenza isihonqo phansi komgwaqo entabeni yaseHakhila ekhangele eJeshimoni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi ebona ukuthi uSawuli wayesemlandele khonale,
4 basaastota ergee akka Saaʼol dhugumaan achi gaʼe mirkaneeffate.
wathuma inhloli wasekwazi ukuthi uSawuli wayefikile impela.
5 Daawitis achii baʼee iddoo Saaʼol qubate dhaqe. Innis iddoo Saaʼolii fi Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltootaa ciciisan arge. Saaʼol qubata keessa rafe; loltoonnis isa marsanii turan.
Ngakho uDavida wasuka waya lapho uSawuli ayemise khona wabona lapho okwakulele khona uSawuli lo-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, umlawuli webutho. USawuli wayelele phakathi kwesihonqo, ibutho lisezihonqweni limhanqile.
6 Daawitis Ahiimelek namicha Heetii fi Abiishaayi ilma Zeruuyaa obboleessa Yooʼaabiin, “Eenyutu na wajjin gara qubata kanaa Saaʼolitti seena?” jedhee gaafate. Abiishaayis, “Anatu si wajjin seena” jedhe.
UDavida wasebuza u-Ahimeleki umHithi lo-Abhishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, wathi, “Ngubani ozahamba lami phakathi kwesihonqo kuSawuli na?” U-Abhishayi wathi, “Ngizahamba lawe.”
7 Kanaafuu Daawitii fi Abiishaayi halkaniin gara loltootaa dhaqan; Saaʼol eeboo isaa mataa isaa bira lafatti dhaabee qubata keessa rafaa ture. Abneerii fi loltoonni immoo isa marsanii ciciisaa turan.
Ngakho uDavida lo-Abhishayi baya ebuthweni ebusuku babona uSawuli elele ubuthongo phakathi kwesihonqo umkhonto wakhe ugwaze phansi eduzane lekhanda lakhe. U-Abhineri lamabutho babelele bemhanqile.
8 Abiishaayis Daawitiin, “Harʼa Waaqni diinota kee dabarsee harka keetti kenneera. Mee akka ani utuu itti hin deebiʼin yeruma tokkoon eeboo kootiin waraanee lafatti isa hodhu naa eeyyami; irra deebiʼee dhaʼuus na hin barbaachisu” jedhe.
U-Abhishayi wasesithi kuDavida, “Lamhla uNkulunkulu unikele isitha sakho ezandleni zakho. Khathesi-ke kahle ngimgwazele phansi kanye nje ngomkhonto wami; kangiyi kugalela kabili.”
9 Daawit garuu Abiishaayiin akkana jedhe; “Isa hin ajjeesin! Namni nama Waaqayyo dibetti harka ol fudhatee yakka malee hafu jiraa?
Kodwa uDavida wathi ku-Abhishayi, “Ungambulali. Ngubani ongabeka isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo angabi lecala na?”
10 Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, Waaqayyo mataan isaa iyyuu isa ni galaafata yookaan inni yeroon isaa gaʼee ni duʼa yookaan duula dhaqee achitti ni duʼa.
Wasesithi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, uThixo yena ngokwakhe uzamtshaya; mhlawumbe isikhathi sakhe sizafika afe, loba aye empini abhubhe.
11 Garuu akka ani dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka koo ol hin kaafanne Waaqayyo na haa eegu; amma garuu eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa isaa bira jiru fuudhiitii haa deemnu.”
Kodwa uThixo kanqabele ukuba ngibeke isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo. Thatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi okuphansi kwekhanda lakhe, sihambe.”
12 Kanaafuu Daawit eeboo fi cuggee bishaanii kan mataa Saaʼol bira ture sana fudhatee kaʼanii deeman. Namni waan kana arge yookaan beeke tokko iyyuu hin turre yookaan namni tokko iyyuu hin dammaqne. Sababii Waaqayyo hirriba cimaa isaanitti gad dhiiseef hundi isaanii rafanii turan.
Ngakho uDavida wathatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi okwakuphansi kwekhanda likaSawuli, basebehamba. Bonke babelele ngoba uThixo wayebehlisele ubuthongo obukhulu.
13 Ergasii Daawit gamatti ceʼee fagaatee fiixee gaara irra dhaabate; gidduu isaaniis lafa balʼaatu ture.
UDavida wachaphela ngakwelinye icele wema phezu kwentatshana khatshana; kwakulebanga elibanzi phakathi kwabo.
14 Daawitis loltootaa fi Abneer ilma Neeriitiin, “Yaa Abneer, ati deebii naaf hin kennituu?” jedhee lallabe. Abneeris deebisee, “Ati kan mootiitti iyyitu eenyu?” jedhe.
Wamemeza ibutho lo-Abhineri indodana kaNeri, wathi, “Kanti kawungiphenduli, Abhineri na?” U-Abhineri waphendula wathi, “Ungubani wena omemeza inkosi na?”
15 Daawit akkana jedhe; “Abneer, ati jagna mitii? Israaʼel keessatti namni siin qixxaatu eenyu? Ati maaliif gooftaa kee mooticha sirriitti hin eegne? Kunoo namni tokko gooftaa kee mooticha ajjeesuuf dhufee tureetii.
UDavida wathi, “Uyindoda, kawusiyo na? Njalo ngubani onjengawe ko-Israyeli na? Kungani ungayilindanga inkosi yakho na? Umuntu othile ufikile ukuba abulale inkosi yakho.
16 Wanni ati goote gaarii miti. Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, atii fi namoonni kee duʼuu qabdu; isin gooftaa keessan dibamaa Waaqayyoo sana hin eegneetii. Mee naannoo kee ilaali. Eeboo fi cuggeen bishaanii kan mataa mootichaa bira ture sun meerre?”
Okwenzileyo kakukuhle. Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila, wena labantu bakho lifanele ukufa, ngoba kaliyilindanga inkosi yenu, ogcotshiweyo kaThixo. Khangelani emaceleni enu. Ungaphi umkhonto wenkosi lesigxingi samanzi okube kuphansi kwekhanda layo na?”
17 Saaʼol sagalee Daawit beekee, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhe. Daawitis, “Eeyyee; sagalee koo ti; yaa gooftaa koo mootii” jedhee deebise.
USawuli walazi ilizwi likaDavida, wasesithi, “Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, Davida ndodana yami?” UDavida waphendula wathi, “Yebo yilo, nkosi, nkosi yami.”
18 Itti fufees akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo maaliif tajaajilaa isaa ariʼa? Ani maalin godhe? Ani yakka maalin qaba?
Wengeza wathi, “Kanti kungani inkosi yami ixotshana lenceku yayo na? Kuyini engikwenzileyo, njalo licala bani engilalo na?
19 Egaa mee gooftaan koo mootichi dubbii tajaajilaa isaa haa dhagaʼu. Yoo Waaqayyo natti si kakaasee jiraate inni aarsaa haa fudhatu. Garuu namoonni yoo waan kana godhanii jiraatan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa abaaraman! Isaan akka ani dhaala Waaqayyoo keessaa qooda hin qabaanneef na ariʼanii, ‘Dhaqiitii waaqota biraa tajaajili’ jedhan.
Khathesi-ke nkosi, nkosi yami, lalela amazwi enceku yakho. Nxa uThixo ekuqubule ukuba umelane lami, kamkele umhlatshelo. Kodwa nxa kwenziwe ngabantu, kabathukwe phambi kukaThixo! Khathesi sebengixotshile esabelweni sami elifeni likaThixo njalo bathi, ‘Hamba uyekhonza abanye onkulunkulu.’
20 Dhiigni koo fuula Waaqayyoo duraa fagaatee akka lafatti dhangalaʼu hin godhin. Akkuma namni tokko gaara gubbaatti gogorrii adamsu sana mootiin Israaʼel tafkii barbaaduu baʼeera.”
Ungenzi igazi lami lichithekele phansi khatshana lobukhona bukaThixo. Inkosi yako-Israyeli iphumile ukuzadinga insikizi njengomuntu ozingela isikhwehle ezintabeni.”
21 Saaʼolis, “Ani yakka hojjedheera. Yaa ilma koo Daawit kottuu deebiʼi. Sababii harʼa lubbuun koo fuula kee duratti ulfina argatteef ani lammata si miidhuu hin yaalu. Ani dhugumaan hojii gowwummaa hojjedheera; guddaas dogoggoreera jedhe.”
Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi, “Ngenze isono. Buya Davida, ndodana yami. Ngenxa yokuthi ukhangele impilo yami njengegugu lamhla, kangiyikuzama futhi ukwenza okubi kuwe. Ngempela ngenze ubuwula njalo ngiphambanise kakhulu.”
22 Daawitis akkana jedhee deebise; “Eeboon mootichaa kunoo ti; dargaggoota kee keessaa namni tokko dhufee haa fuudhu.
UDavida waphendula wathi, “Nanku umkhonto wenkosi. Wothi omunye wezinsizwa zakho keze ngapha azewuthatha.
23 Waaqayyo nama hundaaf qajeelummaa isaatii fi amanamummaa isaatiif gatii ni kenna. Waaqayyo harʼa dabarsee harka kootti si kennee ture; ani garuu dibamaa Waaqayyootti harka ol hin fudhadhu.
UThixo uyamnika umvuzo umuntu wonke ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe. UThixo ukunikele ezandleni zami lamhla, kodwa kade ngingeke ngibeke isandla kogcotshiweyo kaThixo.
24 Akkuma ani harʼa lubbuu kee ulfeesse kana, Waaqayyos lubbuu koo ulfeessee rakkina hunda jalaa na haa baasu.”
Ngeqiniso njengoba ngiqakathekise ukuphila kwakho lamhla, sengathi kanjalo-ke uThixo angaqakathekisa ukuphila kwami angisindise kukho konke ukuhlupheka.”
25 Kana irratti Saaʼol Daawitiin, “Yaa ilma koo Daawit eebbifami; ati waan guddaa hojjetta; dhugumaanis ni moʼatta” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit karaa isaa itti fufe; Saaʼolis gara manaatti deebiʼe.
Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi kuDavida, “Sengathi ungabusiseka, ndodana yami Davida; uzakwenza izinto ezinkulu njalo unqobe.” UDavida wasuka wazihambela, uSawuli wasebuyela ekhaya.
