1 Samueri 24
1 Shure kwokudzoka kwaSauro kundodzinganisa vaFiristia, akaudzwa kuti, “Dhavhidhi ari muRenje reEni Gedhi.”
Awo Sawulo bwe yakomawo ng’ava okugoba Abafirisuuti, ne bamutegeeza nti, “Dawudi ali mu ddungu erya Engedi.”
2 Saka Sauro akatora zviuru zvavarume vakatsaurwa kubva muIsraeri yose akasimuka akaenda kundotsvaka Dhavhidhi navanhu vake pedyo naMatombo eNgururu.
Sawulo n’alonda abasajja enkumi ssatu okuva mu Isirayiri yenna, n’agenda nabo okunoonya Dawudi n’abasajja be, ku luuyi olw’enjazi embulabuzi gye Zaabeeranga.
3 Akasvika pamatanga amakwai munzira iyoyo; pakanga pane bako, uye Sauro akapindamo kuti azorore. Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakanga vari mukati kati mebako.
Sawulo n’atuuka okumpi n’awaali ebisibo by’endiga ebyali ku mabbali g’ekkubo, n’alaba empuku, n’ayingira omwo okuwummulako. Dawudi n’abasajja be baali mu mpuku omwo mu bifo ebikomererayo.
4 Vanhu vakati, “Iri ndiro zuva rakataurwa naJehovha paakati kwamuri, ‘Ndichaisa vavengi vako mumaoko ako kuti uvaitire sezvaunoda.’” Ipapo Dhavhidhi akakambaira chinyararire asingaonekwi akacheka kona yenguo yaSauro.
Awo abasajja ba Dawudi ne bamugamba nti, “Luno lwe lunaku Mukama lwe yayogerako bwe yagamba nti, ‘Ndiwaayo omulabe wo mu mukono gwo, omukole nga bw’osiima.’” Dawudi n’asooba mpola n’asala ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kya Sawulo.
5 Shure kwaizvozvo Dhavhidhi akarohwa nehana nokuda kwokuti akanga acheka kona yenguo yaSauro.
Naye oluvannyuma Dawudi n’awulira okulumirizibwa mu mutima olw’okusala ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kya Sawulo.
6 Akati kuvanhu vake, “Jehovha ngaandidzivise kuti ndirege kuita chinhu chakadai kuna tenzi wangu, muzodziwa waJehovha.”
N’agamba abasajja be nti, “Kikafuuwe, nze okukola mukama wange ekintu ekifaanana bwe kityo, Mukama gwe yafukako amafuta, wadde okumugololerako omukono, kubanga Mukama yamufukako amafuta.”
7 Namashoko aya Dhavhidhi akatsiura vanhu vake akasavatendera kuti varwise Sauro. Zvino Sauro akabva pabako akaenda hake.
N’ebigambo ebyo Dawudi n’aziyiza abasajja be n’atabakkiriza kulumba Sawulo. Awo Sawulo n’ava mu mpuku, n’agenda.
8 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akabuda mubako akadanidzira kuna Sauro achiti, “Ishe wangu mambo!” Sauro akati acheuka, Dhavhidhi akakotamira pasi nechiso chake.
Oluvannyuma, Dawudi naye n’afuluma empuku, n’akoowoola Sawulo ng’ayogera nti, “Mukama wange kabaka!” Awo Sawulo n’akyuka n’atunula emabega, Dawudi n’avuunama n’akka wansi ne yeeyala ku ttaka.
9 Akati kuna Sauro, “Sei muchiteerera vanhu pavanoti, ‘Dhavhidhi anotsvaka kukukuvadzai?’
Dawudi n’agamba Sawulo nti, “Lwaki owuliriza eŋŋambo z’abantu aboogera nti, ‘Dawudi amaliridde okukukola akabi?’
10 Nhasi mazvionera nameso enyu kuti Jehovha akuisai sei mumaoko angu muri mubako. Vamwe vandikurudzira kuti ndikuurayei, asi ndakuregererai, ndikati, ‘Handingasimudzi ruoko rwangu pamusoro patenzi wangu, nokuti ndiye muzodziwa waJehovha.’
Leero okirabye n’amaaso go, Mukama bw’akumpadde mu mukono gwange ng’oli mu mpuku. Wabaddewo ababadde banneegayirira nkutte, naye ne sibawuliriza. Nagambye nti, ‘Sijja kugolola mukono gwange ku mukama wange, kubanga Mukama yamufukako amafuta.’
11 Tarirai, baba vangu, tarirai benga renguo yenyu riri muruoko rwangu! Ndacheka kona yenguo yenyu asi handina kukuurayai. Zvino chinzwisisai muzive kuti handina mhosva yokukuitirai zvakaipa kana kukumukirai. Handina kukutadzirai, asi imi muri kundivhima kuti mundiuraye.
Kitange laba, akatundu ke naggye ku kirenge ky’ekyambalo kyo. Nasaze busazi ku kyambalo kyo naye ne sikutta. Kaakano kitegeere era okimanye nga sikusobyanga newaakubadde okukujeemera. Sinnakusobya newaakubadde ng’onjigganya okunzita.
12 Jehovha ngaatonge pakati penyu nemi. Uye Jehovha ngaatsive zvakaipa zvamakaita kwandiri, asi ruoko rwangu harungarwi nemi.
Mukama alamule wakati wange naawe. Mukama akusasule ng’ebikolwa ebibi byonna by’onkoze bwe biri, naye nze siriyimusa mukono gwange ku ggwe.
13 Sezvinoreva tsumo yekare ichiti, ‘Kuno wakaipa kunobuda mabasa akaipa,’ saizvozvo ruoko rwangu harungarwi nemi.
Ng’olugero olw’ab’edda bwe baalugera nti, ‘Mu babi mwe muva akabi,’ kyendiva sikuyimusiza mukono gwange.
14 “Ko, mambo waIsraeri akabuda kuzorwa naaniko? Ndianiko wamunodzinganisa? Imbwa yakafa here? Nhata here?
Kabaka wa Isirayiri ajjiridde ani? Ani gw’oyigganya? Mbwa nfu oba nkukunyi?
15 Jehovha ngaave mutongi wedu uye aone pakati penyu neni. Ngaatsvake mhaka yangu aiwane; ngaandiruramisire nokundirwira kubva muruoko rwenyu.”
Mukama atulamule, asalewo wakati wo nange. Mukama atunuulire ensonga yange andokole mu mukono gwo.”
16 Dhavhidhi akati apedza kutaura mashoko aya, Sauro akabvunza akati, “Inzwi rako here, Dhavhidhi mwanakomana wangu?” Ipapo akachema kwazvo.
Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, Sawulo n’abuuza nti, “Eryo ddoboozi lyo, Dawudi mutabani wange?” Sawulo n’akuba ebiwoobe.
17 Akati, “Iwe wakarurama kupfuureni. Iwe wakandiitira zvakanaka, asi ini ndakakuitira zvakaipa.
N’agamba Dawudi nti, “Ggwe oli mutuukirivu okunsinga, kubanga onsasudde bulungi, newaakubadde nga nze nkuyisizza bubi.
18 Uchangobva kundirondedzera iye zvino zvakanaka zvawakandiitira; Jehovha akandiisa mumaoko ako, asi hauna kundiuraya.
Leero ontegeezezza bw’onkoze obulungi, bw’otanzise ate nga Mukama yampaddeyo mu mukono gwo.
19 Kana munhu akawanikidza muvengi wake angamurega achienda asina vanga here? Jehovha ngaakuripire zvakanaka nokuda kwezvawakandiitira.
Omuntu bw’asiŋŋaana omulabe we, ayinza okumuganya okugenda nga tamutuusizzaako bisago? Kale Mukama akusasule bulungi olw’ekikolwa ky’onkoze leero.
20 Ndinoziva zvirokwazvo kuti iwe uchava mambo uye umambo hweIsraeri huchasimbiswa mumaoko ako.
Kaakano ntegeeredde ddala ng’onoobeera kabaka, era n’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri bulinywezebwa mu mukono gwo.
21 Zvino pika kwandiri naJehovha kuti iwe hauchazoparadzi zvizvarwa zvangu kana kuparadza zita rangu kubva pamhuri yababa vangu.”
Kale nno ndayirira eri Mukama, nga tolizikiriza bazzukulu bange newaakubadde okusaanyaawo erinnya lyange mu nnyumba ya kitange.”
22 Saka Dhavhidhi akapika kuna Sauro. Ipapo Sauro akadzokera kumusha kwake, asi Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakaenda kunhare yavo.
Awo Dawudi n’alayirira Sawulo. Sawulo n’addayo ewuwe, naye Dawudi ne basajja be ne baddayo mu kifo gye baali beekwese.
