Tsono Davide anathawa ku Nayoti ku Rama ndi kupita kwa Yonatani ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ine ndinachita chiyani? Kodi ndinalakwa chiyani? Kodi abambo ako ndinawalakwira chiyani kuti azifuna kundipha?”
2 Jonatani akati, “Kwete! Haungatongofi! Tarira, baba vangu havamboiti chimwe chinhu, chikuru kana chiduku, vasingandizivisi. Vangazondivanzira izvi seiko? Hazvisi izvo!”
Yonatani anayankha kuti, “Sizitheka! Iwe sufa ayi! Taona abambo anga sachita chinthu chilichonse chachikulu kapena chachingʼono wosandiwuza ine. Tsopano abambo anga angandibisire bwanji zimenezi? Sichoncho ayi.”
3 Asi Dhavhidhi akapa mhiko akati, “Baba vako vanonyatsoziva kuti ndakawana nyasha pamberi pako, uye vakati mumwoyo mavo, ‘Jonatani haafaniri kuziva izvi nokuti angazvidya mwoyo.’ Asi zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu uye noupenyu hwako, panongova nenhambwe imwe chete pakati pangu norufu.”
Koma Davide analumbira kuti, “Abambo ako akudziwa bwino lomwe kuti iwe umandikonda ndipo iwo amaganiza kuti, Yonatani sayenera kudziwa zimenezi mwina adzamva chisoni kwambiri. Komabe, pali Yehova ndi pali iwe, imfa sinanditalikire.”
4 Jonatani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Zvose zvaunoda kuti ndikuitire, ndichakuitira.”
Yonatani anawuza Davide kuti, “Chilichonse chimene iwe ukufuna kuti ndichite, ndidzakuchitira.”
5 Saka Dhavhidhi akati, “Tarira, mangwana izuva romutambo woKugara kwoMwedzi, uye ndinofanira kudya namambo; asi rega ndiende ndinovanda mumunda kusvikira madekwana okuswera mangwana.
Ndipo Davide anati, “Taona mawa ndi tsiku la chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano, ndipo ine ndiyenera kukadya ndi mfumu. Koma undilole ndipite ndikabisale mʼmunda mpaka mkuja madzulo.
6 Kana baba vako vandishayiwa uvaudze kuti Dhavhidhi akakumbira zvikuru kwauri mvumo kuti ambomhanyira kuBheterehema, iro guta rokwake, nokuti chibayiro chegore rimwe nerimwe chiri kugadzirirwa mhuri yose ikoko.
Ngati abambo ako akafunsa za ine, ukawawuze kuti, ‘Davide anandiwumiriza kuti ndimulole apite msanga kwawo ku Betelehemu, chifukwa akupereka nsembe yapachaka ya banja lonse.’
7 Kana vakati, ‘Zvakanaka,’ ipapo woziva kuti muranda wako ane rugare. Asi kana vakashatirwa, uchaziva chokwadi kuti vari kufunga zvokundiuraya.
Akanena kuti, ‘Wachita bwino,’ ndiye kuti zinthu zindiyendera bwino ine mtumiki wako. Koma ngati akapsa mtima, ndiye udziwe kuti iwo atsimikiza zondichita zoyipa.
8 Asi kana uriwe, itira muranda wako zvakanaka, nokuti akaita sungano newe pamberi paJehovha. Kana ndine mhosva, ndiuraye iwe pachako! Ungandiendesereiko kuna baba vako?”
Koma undikomere mtima ine mtumiki wako, pakuti unapangana nane pangano pamaso pa Yehova. Ngati ndine wolakwa undiphe ndiwe, koma usandipereke kwa abambo ako.”
9 Jonatani akati, “Kwete! Dai ndaiziva kuti baba vangu vakafunga kukuuraya, handaikuudza here?”
Yonatani anati, “Sizitheka! Ndikanadziwa kuti abambo anga atsimikiza kuti akuchite choyipa, kodi sindikanakuwuza?”
10 Dhavhidhi akabvunza akati, “Ndianiko achazondiudza kana baba vako vakakupindura nehasha?”
Davide anafunsa kuti, “Adzandiwuza ndani ngati abambo ako akuyankhe mwaukali?”
11 Jonatani akati, “Uya, tiende kumunda.” Saka vakaenda ikoko pamwe chete.
Yonatani anawuza Davide kuti, “Tiyeni tikayende ku mundako.” Ndipo anapita onse awiri.
12 Ipapo Jonatani akati kuna Dhavhidhi “NaJehovha, iye Mwari weIsraeri, zvirokwazvo ndichabvunzisisa baba vangu nenguva ino kuswera mangwana! Kana ndikaona kuti vanokufarira, ko, handingakutumiri shoko ndikazokuzivisa here?
Kenaka Yonatani anawuza Davide kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akhale mboni! Ine ndikadzafunsa abambo anga nthawi yonga ino mmawa kapena mkuja, ndipo ndikadzapeza kuti akukufunira zabwino, ine ndidzatuma mawu kuti udziwe.
13 Asi kana baba vangu vachida kukuuraya, Jehovha ngaandirove, zvinorwadza kwazvo, kana ndikasakuzivisa uye ndikasakuendesa norugare. Jehovha ngaave newe sezvaakanga akaita kuna baba vangu.
Koma ngati abambo anga atsimikiza kukuchita choyipa, Yehova andilange ine Yonatani, ndipotu kwambiri ngati sindidzakudziwitsa ndi kukulola kuti upite mu mtendere. Yehova akhale nawe monga anakhalira ndi abambo anga.
14 Asi iwe undiitire tsitsi dzisingaperi dzakafanana nedzaJehovha ndichiri mupenyu kudai kuti ndirege kuurayiwa,
Ndikakhalabe ndi moyo udzandionetse kukoma mtima monga kwa Yehova nthawi yonse ya moyo wanga, kuti ine ndisaphedwe.
15 uye usambobvisa tsitsi dzako kumhuri yangu, kunyange Jehovha achinge auraya vavengi vaDhavhidhi vose pamusoro penyika.”
Ndipo usadzaleke kuchitira chifundo banja langa. Pamene Yehova adzawatha adani onse a Davide pa dziko lapansi.”
16 Saka Jonatani akaita sungano neimba yaDhavhidhi, achiti, “Jehovha ngaaite kuti vavengi vaDhavhidhi vapiwe mhosva.”
“Dzina la ine Yonatani lisadzafafanizidwe nawo pamodzi. Yehova alange adani onse a Davide.”
17 Jonatani akaita kuti Dhavhidhi apikezve mhiko yorudo rwake kwaari, nokuti aimuda sokuzvida kwaaizviita iye.
Kenaka Yonatani anamulumbiritsanso Davide kuti asaleke kumukonda, pakuti ankamukonda monga ankadzikondera yekha.
18 Ipapo Jonatani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Mangwana izuva romutambo woKugara kwoMwedzi. Iwe uchashayikwa, nokuti chigaro chako chichange chisina munhu.
Kenaka Yonatani anawuzanso Davide kuti, “Mawa ndi tsiku la chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano. Zidzadziwika kuti iwe palibe chifukwa mpando wako udzakhala wopanda munthu.
19 Kuswera mangwana, kwavira, uende kunzvimbo yawakanga wakavanda pakatanga dambudziko iri, ugomira padombo reEzeri.
Mkuja adzakufunafuna. Tsono udzapite pamalo pamene unabisala poyamba paja ndipo ukadikire pa mulu wa miyala uli apowo.
20 Ndichapfura miseve mitatu kurutivi rwayo, sokunge ndine pandakananga kupfura.
Ine ndidzaponya mivi itatu pambali pake, ngati ndikulasa chinthu.
21 Ipapo ndichatuma mukomana ndigoti, ‘Enda undotsvaka miseve,’ Kana ndikati kwaari, ‘Tarira, miseve iri kurutivi rwako urwu; uya nayo kuno,’ ipapo uuye, nokuti zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu, rugare rwuri kwauri; hapana njodzi.
Ndipo ndidzatuma mnyamata ndi kuti, ‘Pita ukatole miviyo!’ Ngati ndidzanena kwa iye kuti, ‘Taona, mivi ili mbali yakuno, kayitole,’ iwe ukatuluke, pakuti ndikulumbira, pali Yehova Wamoyo, ndiye kuti zako zili bwino, palibe choopsa chilichonse.
22 Asi kana ndikati kumukomana, ‘Tarira, miseve iri mberi kwako,’ ipapo unofanira kuenda hako, nokuti Jehovha akuendesa kure.
Koma ndikadzati, ‘Taona mivi ili patsogolo pako,’ iwe udzachoke chifukwa Yehova ndiye walola kuti uchokepo.
23 Uye pamusoro penyaya yatakurukura iwe neni, rangarira, Jehovha ndiye chapupu pakati pako neni nokusingaperi.”
Tsono zimene tapanganazi Yehova ndiye mboni pakati pa iwe ndi ine mpaka muyaya.”
24 Saka Dhavhidhi akavanda mumunda, uye mutambo woKugara kwoMwedzi wakati wasvika, mambo akagara pasi kuti adye.
Choncho Davide anakabisala mʼmunda ndipo nthawi ya chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano itakwana mfumu Sauli anadzakhala pansi kuti adye.
25 Akagara panzvimbo yake yamazuva ose pamadziro, pakatarisana naJonatani, uye Abhineri akagara parutivi paSauro, asi nzvimbo yaDhavhidhi yakanga isina munhu.
Iye anakhala pa malo ake a nthawi zonse pafupi ndi khoma moyangʼanana ndi Yonatani, ndipo Abineri anakhala moyandikana ndi Sauli, koma pa malo a Davide panalibe munthu.
26 Sauro haana kutaura chinhu pazuva iroro, nokuti akati mumwoyo make, “Panofanira kuva nezvaitika kuna Dhavhidhi zvaita kuti ave asina kuchena, zvirokwazvo haana kuchena.”
Sauli sananene chilichonse tsiku limenelo pakuti ankaganiza kuti “Chilipo chimene chachitika ndi Davide. Mwina mwake ngosayenera za chipembedzo.”
27 Asi pazuva rakatevera, iro zuva rechipiri romwedzi, nzvimbo yaDhavhidhi yakanga isina munhu zvakare. Ipapo Sauro akati kuna Jonatani mwanakomana wake, “Seiko mwanakomana waJese asina kuuya kuzodya zuro nanhasi?”
Koma pa tsiku lachiwiri la chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano pamalo pa Davide panalibenso munthu. Kenaka Sauli anafunsa Yonatani kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwana wa Yese sanabwere kudzadya, dzulo ngakhale lero?”
28 Jonatani akapindura achiti, “Dhavhidhi akandikumbirisa kwazvo kuti aende kuBheterehema.
Yonatani anayankha kuti, “Davide anandiwumiriza kuti ndimulole kuti apite ku Betelehemu.
29 Akati, ‘Nditenderewo hangu ndiende nokuti mhuri yokwangu iri kucherechedza chibayiro muguta uye madzikoma angu akarayira kuti ndivepo. Kana ndawana nyasha kwauri, rega ndiende hangu ndinoonana namadzikoma angu.’ Ndokusaka asina kuuya patafura yamambo.”
Anati, ‘Undilole ndipite, chifukwa banja lathu likupereka nsembe mu mzindamo ndipo mʼbale wanga wandiwumiriza kuti ndikakhale nawo. Ngati wandikomera mtima, chonde ndilole ndipite ndikaone abale anga.’ Nʼchifukwa chake sanabwere kudzadya ndi mfumu.”
30 Kutsamwa kwaSauro kwakanganduma nokuda kwaJonatani, akati kwaari, “Iwe mwanakomana womukadzi akatsauka uye anomukira! Unoti handizivi kanhi kuti unowirirana nomwanakomana waJese kuti uzvinyadzise, iwe uyewo kuti mai vako vakakubereka vanyadziswe.
Sauli anamupsera mtima Yonatani ndipo namuwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wobadwa mwa mkazi wamakhalidwe oyipa ndi wowukira! Kodi ukuyesa kuti ine sindikudziwa kuti umagwirizana ndi mwana wa Yese, amene akufuna kukuchititsa manyazi iwe ndi amayi ako?
31 Kana mwanakomana waJese achirarama panyika ino chete, iwe kana umambo hwako haungasimbiswi. Iye zvino tuma munhu auye naye kwandiri, nokuti anofanira kufa!”
Mwana wa Yese akakhala ndi moyo pa dziko lapansi lino, iwe sudzakhala mfumu. Tsopano tumiza munthu akamutenge kubwera naye kwa ine, pakuti Davide ayenera kufa basi!”
32 Jonatani akabvunza baba vake akati, “Sei achifanira kuurayiwa? Chiiko chaakaita?”
Yonatani anafunsa abambo ake kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mufuna kuti Davide aphedwe? Iye walakwa chiyani?”
33 Asi Sauro akapotsera pfumo rake kwaari kuti amuuraye. Ipapo Jonatani akaziva kuti baba vake vakanga vachida kuuraya Dhavhidhi.
Apo Sauli anamuponyera mkondo wake kuti amuphe. Tsono Yonatani anadziwa kuti abambo ake atsimikiza mtima kuti aphe Davide.
34 Jonatani akakwakuka patafura nokutsamwa kukuru; pazuva rechipiri iroro romwedzi haana kudya, nokuti akanga akatsamwira baba vake nokuda kwamabatiro anonyadza avakanga vaita Dhavhidhi.
Yonatani anachoka pa tebulopo ali wopsa mtima kwambiri. Tsiku lachiwiri la chikondwererocho Yonatani sanadye chakudya. Iye anawawidwa mtima chifukwa abambo ake anatsimikiza zakupha Davide.
35 Fume mangwana, Jonatani akaenda kumunda kuti andosangana naDhavhidhi. Akanga ano mukomana muduku pamwe chete naye,
Tsono mmawa Yonatani anapita ku munda kumene anapangana ndi Davide. Anali ndi mnyamata wake.
36 akati kumukomana, “Mhanya undotsvaka miseve yandichapfura.” Mukomana achiri kumhanya, iye akapotsera museve mberi kwake.
Tsono anawuza mnyamatayo kuti, “Thamanga ukatole muvi umene nditi ndiponye.” Mnyamatayo akuthamanga Yonatani anaponya muvi patsogolo pa mnyamatayo.
37 Mukomana akati asvika panzvimbo yakawira museve waJonatani, Jonatani akadanidzira kwaari akati, “Ko, museve hauzi mberi kwako here?”
Mnyamatayo atafika pamene muvi wa Yonatani unagwera,
38 Ipapo akadanidzira kwaari akati, “Kurumidza! Enda nokukasika! Usamira!” Mukomana akanonga museve akadzokera kuna tenzi wake.
Yonatani anayitananso mnyamatayo kuti, “Fulumira, pita msanga usayime.” Choncho mnyamatayo anatola muvi uja ndi kubwera nayo kwa mbuye wake.
39 (Mukomana haana chaakaziva pane zvose izvi; Jonatani naDhavhidhi chete, ndivo vaiziva.)
(Mnyamatayo sanadziwe chimene chimachitika koma Yonatani ndi Davide ndiwo ankadziwa).
40 Ipapo Jonatani akapa zvombo zvake kumukomana akati, “Chienda, takura udzokere nazvo kuguta.”
Pambuyo pake Yonatani anapereka zida zake za nkhondo kwa mnyamatayo ndipo anati, “Pita, nyamula ubwerere nazo ku mzinda.”
41 Mushure mokuenda kwomukomana, Dhavhidhi akasimuka nechokurutivi rwezasi rwedombo akakotamira Jonatani katatu, chiso chake chakatsikitsira. Ipapo vakasvetana vakachema pamwe chete asi Dhavhidhi akanyanyisa kuchema.
Mnyamatayo anapita. Kenaka Davide anatuluka ku mbali ina ya mulu wa miyala uja, nadzigwetsa pansi ndi kugunditsa nkhope yake pansi katatu. Anapsompsona nayamba kulira onse awiri, koma Davide analira kwambiri.
42 Jonatani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Chienda hako norugare, nokuti takapikirana ushamwari pakati pedu muzita raJehovha, tichiti, ‘Jehovha ndiye chapupu pakati pako neni, uye pakati pezvizvarwa zvako nezvizvarwa zvangu nokusingaperi.’” Ipapo Dhavhidhi akabva, Jonatani akadzokerawo muguta.
Yonatani anawuza Davide kuti, “Pita mu mtendere pakuti ife awiri tinalumbira mʼdzina la Yehova kuti, ‘Yehova ndiye akhale mboni pakati pa iwe ndi ine ndiponso pakati pa zidzukulu zako ndi zidzukulu zanga kwa nthawi yonse.’” Kenaka Davide anachoka, ndipo Yonatani anabwerera ku mzinda kuja.
