Nawa mawu otsiriza a Davide: “Mawu a Davide mwana wa Yese, mawu a munthu amene wakwezedwa ndi Wammwambamwamba, munthu wodzozedwa ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo, woyimba nyimbo za Israeli:
2 “Mweya waJehovha wakataura kubudikidza neni; shoko rake rakanga riri parurimi rwangu.
“Mzimu wa Yehova unayankhula kudzera mwa ine; mawu ake anali pakamwa panga.
3 Mwari waIsraeri akataura, Dombo raIsraeri akati kwandiri: ‘Kana munhu achitonga vanhu mukururama, kana achitonga mukutya Mwari,
Mulungu wa Israeli anayankhula, Thanthwe la Israeli linati kwa ine: ‘Pamene munthu alamulira anthu mwachilungamo, pamene alamulira moopa Mulungu,
4 akaita sechiedza chamangwanani pakubuda kwezuva mangwanani kusina makore, sokujeka kwezuva shure kwokunaya kwemvura kunomeresa uswa kubva pasi.’
amakhala ngati kuwala kwa mmamawa, mmawa wopanda mitambo, monga kuwala pamene mvula yaleka kugwa imene imameretsa udzu mʼnthaka.’
5 “Ko, imba yangu haisi yakadaro kuna Mwari here? Nokuti akaita sungano isingaperi neni, yakarongwa uye yakasimbiswa pazvinhu zvose. Ko, haachazozadzisi ruponeso rwangu uye agondipa zvose zvandinoda here?
“Kodi banja langa silolungama pamaso pa Mulungu? Kodi Iye sanachite pangano losatha ndi ine, lokonzedwa ndi lotetezedwa mbali zonse? Kodi sadzakwaniritsa chipulumutso changa, ndi kundipatsa chokhumba changa chilichonse?
6 Asi vanhu vakaipa vacharasirwa parutivi seminzwa, isingaunganidzwi noruoko.
Koma anthu oyipa ndiwo ayenera kutayidwa kunja ngati minga, imene sitengedwa ndi manja.
7 Ani naani anobata minzwa anoshandisa mudziyo wesimbi kana rwiriko rwepfumo; uye ichapiswa zvachose pairi ipapo.”
Aliyense amene wayikhudza mingayo amayidula pogwiritsa ntchito chigwandali kapena ndodo ya mkondo; nayitentha pa moto.”
8 Aya ndiwo mazita emhare dzaDhavhidhi: Joshebhi-Bhashebheti, muTakemoni, akanga ari mukuru waVatatu; akasimudza pfumo rake achirwa navarume mazana masere, akavauraya panguva imwe chete.
Nawa mayina a ankhondo amphamvu a Davide: Yosebu-Basebeti wa ku Takemoni mkulu wa atsogoleri a ankhondo atatu. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 800 nthawi imodzi.
9 Aimutevera akanga ari Ereazari, mwanakomana waDhodhai muAhohi. Somumwe wavarume vatatu voumhare, akanga ana Dhavhidhi pavakashora vaFiristia vakanga vakaungana paPasi Dhamimi kuti vazorwa. Ipapo varume veIsraeri vakadzokera shure,
Wotsatana naye anali Eliezara mwana wa Dodo Mwahohi. Monga mmodzi mwa ankhondo atatu amphamvu a Davide, iye anali ndi Davide pamene anazunza Afilisti amene anasonkhana ku Pasi-Damimu kuchita nkhondo. Kenaka ankhondo a Israeli anabwerera mʼmbuyo.
10 asi iye akamira akabaya vaFiristia kusvikira ruoko rwake rwaneta uye rwanamatira pamunondo. Jehovha akaita kuti vakunde kwazvo zuva iroro; uye varwi vakadzokera kuna Ereazari, asi kundokutunura nhumbi dzavakafa chete.
Koma iye anayima osasuntha ndipo anakantha Afilisti mpaka mkono wake unatopa ndipo unakanirira ku lupanga lake. Yehova anapereka chigonjetso chachikulu pa tsiku limenelo. Asilikali anabwerera kwa Eliezara, kukatenga katundu wa anthu ophedwa.
11 Aimutevera akanga ari Shama mwanakomana weAgi muHarari. VaFiristia vakati vaungana pamwe chete panzvimbo yakanga ine munda wakanga uzere nenyemba, varwi vavaIsraeri vakatiza pamberi pavo.
Wotsatana naye anali Sama mwana wa Age Mharari. Pamene Afilisti anasonkhana pamalo pamene panali munda wa mphodza, ankhondo a Israeli anathawa Afilistiwo.
12 Asi Shama akanyatsomira pakati pomunda. Akaudzivirira akauraya vaFiristia, uye Jehovha akauyisa kukunda kukuru.
Koma Sama anayima pakati pa mundawo. Iye anawuteteza nakantha Afilistiwo ndipo Yehova anawapambanitsa koposa.
13 Panguva yokukohwa, vatatu pakati pavakuru makumi matatu vakaburuka kuna Dhavhidhi kubako reAdhurami, nguva iyoyo hondo yavaFiristia yakanga yakadzika misasa muMupata weRefaimi.
Pa nthawi yokolola, atatu mwa atsogoleri makumi atatu anabwera kwa Davide ku phanga la Adulamu, pamene gulu la Afilisti linali litamanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Refaimu.
14 Panguva iyoyo Dhavhidhi akanga ari munhare, uye hondo yavaFiristia yakanga iri paBheterehema.
Nthawi imeneyo Davide anali mu linga, ndipo boma la Afilisti linali ku Betelehemu.
15 Dhavhidhi akapanga mvura akati, “Haiwa, dai mumwe andiwanirawo mvura yokunwa patsime riri pedyo reBheterehema!”
Davide analakalaka madzi ndipo anati, “Haa, pakanapezeka munthu wokanditungira madzi a mʼchitsime chomwe chili pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu!”
16 Saka mhare nhatu dzakapinda napakati pavaFiristia, vakachera mvura kubva mutsime raiva pedyo nesuo reBheterehema vakaitakura vakaenda nayo kuna Dhavhidhi. Asi akaramba kuinwa, akaidururira pasi kuna Jehovha.
Choncho anthu amphamvu atatuwa anadutsa mizere ya Afilisti, natunga madzi amene anali mʼchitsime chomwe chinali pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu nabwera nawo kwa Davide. Koma iye anakana kumwa. Mʼmalo mwake anathira pansi pamaso pa Yehova.
17 Akati, “Ngazvive kure neni, Jehovha, kuti ndiite izvi! Ko, iri harisi ropa ravarume vakaendako vachiisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi here?” Uye Dhavhidhi akaramba kuinwa. Izvi ndizvo zvakaitwa nemhare nhatu.
Iye anati, “Inu Yehova, musalole kuti ine ndichite chinthu ichi! Kodi awa si magazi a anthu amene anayika miyoyo yawo pachiswe?” Ndipo Davide sanamwe madziwo. Zimenezi ndi zimene anachita anthu amphamvu atatuwo.
18 Abhishai mununʼuna waJoabhu mwanakomana waZeruya akanga ari mukuru waVatatu. Akasimudza pfumo rake kuti arwe navarume mazana matatu, akavauraya, nokudaro akava nomukurumbira saVatatu.
Abisai mʼbale wa Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa anthu atatuwa. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 300, choncho iyeyo anali wotchuka pakati pa anthu atatu aja.
19 Ko, haana kupiwa kuremekedzwa kukuru kupfuura vaya Vatatu here? Iye akazova mutungamiri wavo, kunyange zvazvo akanga asina kuverengwa pakati pavo.
Kodi iyeyo sanali wolemekezeka koposa? Iye anakhala mtsogoleri wawo ngakhale kuti sanali mʼgulu la anthu atatu aja.
20 Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha akanga ari munhu woumhare aibva kuKabhizeeri, akaita zvinhu zvikuru. Akauraya varume vaviri veMoabhu vakanga vari mhare. Akapindawo mugomba kuchitonhora kwazvo musi uyo, akauraya shumba imomo.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada wa ku Kabizeeli anali munthu wolimba mtima amene anachita zinthu zamphamvu. Iye anakantha ankhondo awiri otchuka a ku Mowabu. Tsiku lina kukuzizira kwambiri, iye analowa mʼdzenje ndi kuphamo mkango.
21 Uye akabaya muIjipita akanga ari hofori. Kunyange zvazvo muIjipita akanga ane pfumo muruoko rwake, Bhenaya akarwa naye netsvimbo. Akabvuta pfumo rakanga riri muruoko rwomuIjipita akamuuraya nepfumo rake.
Ndipo iye anakanthanso Mwigupto wamkulu msinkhu. Ngakhale kuti Mwiguptoyo anali ndi mkondo mʼdzanja mwake, Benaya anapita kukamenyana naye ali ndi chibonga chokha mʼmanja. Iye analanda mkondo mʼdzanja la Mwiguptoyo ndi kumupha ndi mkondo wake womwe.
22 Ndiwo akanga ari mabasa aBhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha; naiyewo akanga ano mukurumbira sowavarume vaya vatatu voumhare.
Izi ndi zamphamvu zimene Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anachita. Iyeyo analinso wotchuka ngati anthu atatu amphamvu aja.
23 Akaremekedzwa zvikuru kupinda ani zvake wavaye Makumi Matatu, asi akanga asina kuverengwa pakati pavaya vatatu. Uye Dhavhidhi akamugadza kuti ave mutariri wavarindi vake.
