1 Samweli 14

1 Siku moja, Yonathani mwana wa Sauli alimwambia mbeba silaha wake aliye mdogo, “Njoo, hebu twende hadi upande mwingine kwenye ngome ya Wafilisti.” Lakini hakumjulisha baba yake.

καὶ γίνεται ἡμέρα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν υἱὸς Σαουλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ αἴροντι τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ δεῦρο καὶ διαβῶμεν εἰς μεσσαβ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν ἐν τῷ πέραν ἐκείνῳ καὶ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν

2 Sauli alikuwa akikaa nje ya mji wa Gibea chini ya mti wa mkomamanga ulio katika Migroni. Takribani watu mia sita walikwa pamoja naye,

καὶ Σαουλ ἐκάθητο ἐπ’ ἄκρου τοῦ βουνοῦ ὑπὸ τὴν ῥόαν τὴν ἐν Μαγδων καὶ ἦσαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες

3 akiwemo Ahiya mwana wa Ahitubu (nduguye Ikabodi) mwana wa Finehasi, mwana wa Eli, kuhani wa BWANA huko Shilo, aliyevaa naivera. Watu hao hawakujua kwamba Yonathani ameondoka.

καὶ Αχια υἱὸς Αχιτωβ ἀδελφοῦ Ιωχαβηδ υἱοῦ Φινεες υἱοῦ Ηλι ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν Σηλωμ αἴρων εφουδ καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι πεπόρευται Ιωναθαν

4 Katikati ya vichochoro, ambavyo Yonathani alinuia kuvipita hadi ngome ya Wafilisti, kulikuwa na mwamba wenye mteremko mkali upande mmoja, na mteremko mkali upande mwingine. Jabali moja liliitwa Bosesi, na jingine liliitwa Sene.

καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς διαβάσεως οὗ ἐζήτει Ιωναθαν διαβῆναι εἰς τὴν ὑπόστασιν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἀκρωτήριον πέτρας ἔνθεν καὶ ἀκρωτήριον πέτρας ἔνθεν ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βαζες καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἄλλῳ Σεννα

5 Lile jabali lenye mteremko mkali zaidi liliinuka upande wa kaskazini mbele ya Mikmashi, na jingine upande wa kusini mbele ya Geba.

ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ μία ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἐρχομένῳ Μαχμας καὶ ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἄλλη ἀπὸ νότου ἐρχομένῳ Γαβεε

6 Yonathani akamwambia kijana mbeba silaha, “Njoo, na tuvuke hadi ngome ya hawa wasiotahiriwa. Pengine BWANA atatenda kwa niaba yetu, kwa maana hakuna kitu kiwezacho kumzuia BWANA asiokoe kwa wengi au kwa watu wachache.”

καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον τὸ αἶρον τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ δεῦρο διαβῶμεν εἰς μεσσαβ τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων τούτων εἴ τι ποιήσαι ἡμῖν κύριος ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν τῷ κυρίῳ συνεχόμενον σῴζειν ἐν πολλοῖς ἢ ἐν ὀλίγοις

7 Mbeba silaha wake akajibu, “Fanya kila kitu kilicho ndani ya moyo wako. Songa mbele, tazama, niko pamoja nawe, nitatii maagizo yako yote.”

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ποίει πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἡ καρδία σου ἐκκλίνῃ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μετὰ σοῦ ὡς ἡ καρδία σοῦ καρδία μοῦ

8 Ndipo Yonathani akasema, “Tutavuka twende kwa watu hao, na tutajionesha wenyewe kwao.

καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς διαβαίνομεν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας καὶ κατακυλισθησόμεθα πρὸς αὐτούς

9 Kama watatuambia, 'Subirini hapo hadi tutakapokuja kwenu' - basi tutabaki katika sehemu yetu na hatutavuka kwenda kwao.

ἐὰν τάδε εἴπωσιν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀπόστητε ἐκεῖ ἕως ἂν ἀπαγγείλωμεν ὑμῖν καὶ στησόμεθα ἐφ’ ἑαυτοῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς

10 Lakini kama watajibu, 'Njoni kwetu,' ndipo tutavuka; kwa sababu BWANA amewaweka mkononi mwetu. Hii ndiyo itakuwa ishara yetu.”

καὶ ἐὰν τάδε εἴπωσιν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀνάβητε πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀναβησόμεθα ὅτι παραδέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν τοῦτο ἡμῖν τὸ σημεῖον

11 Kwa hiyo wote wawili wakajifunua mbele ya ngome ya Wafilisti. Wafilisti wakasema, “Angalia, Webrania wanakuja kutokea kwenye mashimo walimojificha.”

καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἀμφότεροι εἰς μεσσαβ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἰδοὺ οἱ Εβραῖοι ἐκπορεύονται ἐκ τῶν τρωγλῶν αὐτῶν οὗ ἐκρύβησαν ἐκεῖ

12 Ndipo watu wa ile ngome wakamwita Yonathani na mbeba silaha wake, wakisema, “Njoni huku kwetu, tutawaonesha jambo fulani.” Na Yonathani akamwambia mbeba silaha wake; “Nifuate nyuma yangu, kwa sababu BWANA amewaweka katika mkono wa Israeli.”

καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἄνδρες μεσσαβ πρὸς Ιωναθαν καὶ πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγουσιν ἀνάβητε πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ γνωριοῦμεν ὑμῖν ῥῆμα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἀνάβηθι ὀπίσω μου ὅτι παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Ισραηλ

13 Yonathani alipanda juu kwa mikono na miguu yake, na mbeba silaha akimfuata nyuma yake. Wafilisti waliuwawa mbele ya Yonathani, na mbeba silaha wake akiwaua baadhi nyuma yake.

καὶ ἀνέβη Ιωναθαν ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν κατὰ πρόσωπον Ιωναθαν καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐπεδίδου ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ

14 Hilo shambulio la kwanza walilofanya Yonathani na mbeba silaha wake, waliua watu wapatao ishirini katika urefu wa nusu handaki kwenye eka moja ya ardhi.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ πληγὴ ἡ πρώτη ἣν ἐπάταξεν Ιωναθαν καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ὡς εἴκοσι ἄνδρες ἐν βολίσι καὶ ἐν πετροβόλοις καὶ ἐν κόχλαξιν τοῦ πεδίου

15 Kukawa na hofu kubwa katika kambi, uwandani, na katika watu. Hata ngome ya jeshi na watekaji nyara nao wakawa na hofu kubwa

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ καὶ ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οἱ ἐν μεσσαβ καὶ οἱ διαφθείροντες ἐξέστησαν καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ποιεῖν καὶ ἐθάμβησεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις παρὰ κυρίου

16 Ndipo walinzi wa Sauli huko Gibea ya Benyamini wakaona kundi la askari wa Wafilisti likitawanyika, wakienda kule na huku.

καὶ εἶδον οἱ σκοποὶ τοῦ Σαουλ ἐν Γαβεε Βενιαμιν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ παρεμβολὴ τεταραγμένη ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν

17 Kisha Sauli akawaambia watu aliokuwa nao, “Mjihesabu ili muone nani hayupo hapa.”Walipokuwa wamehesabu, wakagundua kuwa Yonathani na mbebaji wa silaha zake hawapo.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπισκέψασθε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε τίς πεπόρευται ἐξ ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπεσκέψαντο καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐχ εὑρίσκετο Ιωναθαν καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ

18 Sauli akamwambia Ahiya, “Lete hapa naivera ya Mungu”- kwa maana siku hiyo Ahiya alivaa naivera akiwa pamoja na askari wa Israeli.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τῷ Αχια προσάγαγε τὸ εφουδ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦρεν τὸ εφουδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐνώπιον Ισραηλ

19 Wakati Sauli akiongea na kuhani, kelele na ghasia kubwa iliendelea na kuongezeka katika kambi ya Wafilisti. dipo sauli akamwambia kuhani, “Acha kazi unayofanya.”

καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἐλάλει Σαουλ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα καὶ ὁ ἦχος ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐπλήθυνεν καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα συνάγαγε τὰς χεῖράς σου

20 Sauli na watu wote aliokuwa nao wakajipanga na kwenda kwenye mapigano. Upanga wa kila Mfilisti ulikwa juu ya Mfilisti mwenzake, na kulikuwa na ghasia kubwa.

καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Σαουλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρχονται ἕως τοῦ πολέμου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγένετο ῥομφαία ἀνδρὸς ἐπὶ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ σύγχυσις μεγάλη σφόδρα

21 Basi Waebrania ambao mwanzoni walijiunga na Wafilisti, na kwenda kwenye kambi yao, wao pia waliungana na Waisraeli waliokuwa pamoja na Sauli na Yonathani.

καὶ οἱ δοῦλοι οἱ ὄντες ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων οἱ ἀναβάντες εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἐπεστράφησαν καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶναι μετὰ Ισραηλ τῶν μετὰ Σαουλ καὶ Ιωναθαν

22 Waisraeli wote waliokuwa wamejificha katika milima karibu na Efraimu waliposikia kwamba Wafilisti wamekimbia, nao pia wakawafuata Wafilisti nakuwafukuza kwenye hiyo vita.

καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ οἱ κρυπτόμενοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ ἤκουσαν ὅτι πεφεύγασιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ συνάπτουσιν καὶ αὐτοὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον

23 Hivyo siku hiyo BWANA aliwaokoa Israeli, na mapigano yalivuka kupitiliza Beth aveni.

καὶ ἔσωσεν κύριος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ πόλεμος διῆλθεν τὴν Βαιθων καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν μετὰ Σαουλ ὡς δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἦν ὁ πόλεμος διεσπαρμένος εἰς ὅλην τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ

24 Siku hiyo watu wa Israeli walifadhaika kwa sababu Sauli aliwaweka watu chini ya kiapo akasema, “Na alaaniwe mtu atakaye kula chakula kabla ya jioni na kabla sijalipiza kisasi kwa maadui zangu.” Hivyo hakuna hata mmoja kati ya watu wote aliyeonja chakula.

καὶ Σαουλ ἠγνόησεν ἄγνοιαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀρᾶται τῷ λαῷ λέγων ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς φάγεται ἄρτον ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸν ἐχθρόν μου καὶ οὐκ ἐγεύσατο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἄρτου

25 Ndipo watu wote wakaingia msituni na kuona asali ikiwa juu ya ardhi.

καὶ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἠρίστα καὶ ιααρ δρυμὸς ἦν μελισσῶνος κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀγροῦ

26 Watu walipoingia humo msituni, asali ilitiririka, lakini hakuna aliyeweka mkono wake kinywani kwa maana watu waliogopa kiapo.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸν μελισσῶνα καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπορεύετο λαλῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν ἐπιστρέφων τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐφοβήθη ὁ λαὸς τὸν ὅρκον κυρίου

27 Lakini Yonathani alikuwa hajasikia kwamba baba yake amewaagiza watu kwa kiapo. Akanyoosha ncha ya fimbo iliyokuwa mkononi mwake na kuichovya kwenye sega la asali. Kisha akanyoosha mkono wake hadi kinywani mwake, na macho yake yakaangaziwa.

καὶ Ιωναθαν οὐκ ἀκηκόει ἐν τῷ ὁρκίζειν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ τὸν λαόν καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ σκήπτρου αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔβαψεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ κηρίον τοῦ μέλιτος καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβλεψαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ

28 Ndipo mmoja wa watu hao, akamwambia, “Baba yako aliwaagiza watu kwa mkazo na kwa kiapo, kwa kusema, 'Alaaniwe mtu atakaye kula chakula kwa siku ya leo,' ingawa watu wamedhoofika kwa ajili ya njaa.”

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ὁρκίσας ὥρκισεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν λαὸν λέγων ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς φάγεται ἄρτον σήμερον καὶ ἐξελύθη ὁ λαός

29 Baadaye Yonathani alisema, “Baba yangu amefanya matatizo katika nchi. Angalia jinsi macho yangu alivyotiwa nuru kwa sababu nilionja asali hii kidogo.

καὶ ἔγνω Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν ἀπήλλαχεν ὁ πατήρ μου τὴν γῆν ἰδὲ δὴ ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ὅτι ἐγευσάμην βραχὺ τοῦ μέλιτος τούτου

30 Je, siyo vivuri sana kama leo watu wangekula bila kizuizi nyara walizopata kutoka kwa maadui zao? Kwa sababu sasa mauaji hayakuwa makubwa katikati ya Wafilisti.”

ἀλλ’ ὅτι εἰ ἔφαγεν ἔσθων ὁ λαὸς σήμερον τῶν σκύλων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν ὧν εὗρεν ὅτι νῦν ἂν μείζων ἦν ἡ πληγὴ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις

31 Siku hiyo waliwashambulia Wafilisti kutoka Mikmashi hadi Aiyaloni. Na watu walikuwa wamechoka sana.

καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν Μαχεμας καὶ ἐκοπίασεν ὁ λαὸς σφόδρα

32 Hivyo watu wakazivamia nyara na kuchukua kondoo, ng'ombe na ndama na kuwachinja hapo chini. Watu walikula nyama zao pamoja na damu.

καὶ ἐκλίθη ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκῦλα καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς ποίμνια καὶ βουκόλια καὶ τέκνα βοῶν καὶ ἔσφαξεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἤσθιεν ὁ λαὸς σὺν τῷ αἵματι

33 KIsha wakamwambia Sauli, “Tazama, watu wanamtenda BWANA dhambi kwa kula pamoja na damu.” Sauli akasema, “Mmetenda isivyo haki. Sasa, viringisheni jiwe kubwa kwangu.” Sauli akasema,

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαουλ λέγοντες ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς τῷ κυρίῳ φαγὼν σὺν τῷ αἵματι καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ ἐν Γεθθεμ κυλίσατέ μοι λίθον ἐνταῦθα μέγαν

34 “Nendeni kati watu, na muwaambie, 'Kila mtu alete ng'ombe na kondoo wake, wawachinje hapa, na kuwala. Msimtende BWANA dhambi kwa kula na damu.”' Kwa hiyo watu wote wakaleta kila mtu na ng'ombe wake usiku huo na kuwachinja mahali hapo.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ διασπάρητε ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ εἴπατε αὐτοῖς προσαγαγεῖν ἐνταῦθα ἕκαστος τὸν μόσχον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστος τὸ πρόβατον αὐτοῦ καὶ σφαζέτω ἐπὶ τούτου καὶ οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτητε τῷ κυρίῳ τοῦ ἐσθίειν σὺν τῷ αἵματι καὶ προσῆγεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος τὸ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσφαζον ἐκεῖ

35 Sauli akamjengea BWANA madhabahu, ambayo ilikuwa ya kwanza kwake kumjengea BWANA.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Σαουλ θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ τοῦτο ἤρξατο Σαουλ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ

36 Ndipo Sauli akasema, “Haya tuwafukuze Wafilisti usiku na kuwateka nyara hadi asubuhi; tusimwache hata mtu mmoja akiwa hai.” Nao wakamjibu, “Fanya unaloona linakupendeza.” Lakini kuhani akasema, “Hebu na tumkaribie Mungu mahali hapa.”

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ καταβῶμεν ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν νύκτα καὶ διαρπάσωμεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἕως διαφαύσῃ ἡ ἡμέρα καὶ μὴ ὑπολίπωμεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄνδρα καὶ εἶπαν πᾶν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ποίει καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς προσέλθωμεν ἐνταῦθα πρὸς τὸν θεόν

37 Sauli alitaka kumuuliza Mungu maswali zaidi, “Je, inanipasa kuwafukuza Wafilisti? Je, utawaweka katika mkono wa Israeli?” Lakini siku hiyo BWANA hakumjibu kitu.

καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Σαουλ τὸν θεόν εἰ καταβῶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ

38 Ndipo Sauli akasema, “Njoni hapa, viongozi wote wa watu; mjue na kuona jinsi dhambi hii ilivyotokea leo.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ προσαγάγετε ἐνταῦθα πάσας τὰς γωνίας τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ἴδετε ἐν τίνι γέγονεν ἡ ἁμαρτία αὕτη σήμερον

39 Kwa maana, kama BWANA aishivyo, aliyewaokoa Israeli, hata kama angekuwa mwanangu Yonathani, atapaswa kufa.” Lakini hakuna hata mtu mmoja miongoni mwa watu aliye mjibu neno.

ὅτι ζῇ κύριος ὁ σώσας τὸν Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐὰν ἀποκριθῇ κατὰ Ιωναθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀποκρινόμενος ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ

40 Basi akawaambia Waisraeli wote, “Simameni upande mmoja, na mimi na Yonathani tutasimama upande mwingine.” Kisha watu wakamwambia Sauli, “Fanya lile unaloona jema kwako.”

καὶ εἶπεν παντὶ Ισραηλ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθε εἰς δουλείαν καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ Ιωναθαν ὁ υἱός μου ἐσόμεθα εἰς δουλείαν καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαουλ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ποίει

41 Kwa hiyo, Sauli akamwambia BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, “Tuoneshe Thumimu.” Yonathani na Sauli wakatwaliwa, lakini watu walinusurika kuchaguliwa.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ τί ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθης τῷ δούλῳ σου σήμερον εἰ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἢ ἐν Ιωναθαν τῷ υἱῷ μου ἡ ἀδικία κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ δὸς δήλους καὶ ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃς ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου Ισραηλ δὸς δὴ ὁσιότητα καὶ κληροῦται Ιωναθαν καὶ Σαουλ καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐξῆλθεν

42 Basi Sauli akasema, “Tupa mawe ya bahati nasibu tuone kati yangu na mwanangu Yonathani.” Ndipo Yonathani akatwaliwa.

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ βάλετε ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιωναθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου ὃν ἂν κατακληρώσηται κύριος ἀποθανέτω καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαουλ οὐκ ἔστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ κατεκράτησεν Σαουλ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ βάλλουσιν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιωναθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατακληροῦται Ιωναθαν

43 Kisha Sauli akamwambia Yonathani, “Niambie umefanya nini.” Yonathani akamwambia baba yake, “Nilionja asali kidogo kwa kutumia ncha ya fimbo iliyokuwa mkononi mwangu. Niko hapa; Nitakufa.”

καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς Ιωναθαν ἀπάγγειλόν μοι τί πεποίηκας καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ Ιωναθαν καὶ εἶπεν γευσάμενος ἐγευσάμην ἐν ἄκρῳ τῷ σκήπτρῳ τῷ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου βραχὺ μέλι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποθνῄσκω

44 Sauli akasema, “Mungu afanye hivyo na kuzidi hata kwangu, kama Yonathani hautakufa.”

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαουλ τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ σήμερον

45 Basi watu wakamuuliza Sauli, “Je, inampasa Sauli afe, ni nani aliyetekeleza ushindi huu mkubwa kwa ajili ya Israeli? Mbali na hayo! Kama BWANA aishivyo, hata unywele mmoja wa kichwa chake hautaanguka chini, kwa maana leo amefanya kazi pamoja na Mungu.” Hivyo hao watu walimuokoa Yonathani ili asife.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαουλ εἰ σήμερον θανατωθήσεται ὁ ποιήσας τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην ἐν Ισραηλ ζῇ κύριος εἰ πεσεῖται τῆς τριχὸς τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ὅτι ὁ λαὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐποίησεν τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην καὶ προσηύξατο ὁ λαὸς περὶ Ιωναθαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ οὐκ ἀπέθανεν

46 Basi Sauli akasita kuwafuatia Wafilisti, nao wakarudi katika makao yao.

καὶ ἀνέβη Σαουλ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν

47 Sauli alipoanza kutawala juu ya Israeli, alipigana na adui zake wote kila upande. Alipigana dhidi ya Moabu, dhidi ya watu wa Amoni, Edomu, wafalme wa Zoba, na Wafilisti. Popote alipogeukia aliwapiga kwa adhabu adui zake.

καὶ Σαουλ κατακληροῦται ἔργον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπολέμει κύκλῳ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν Μωαβ καὶ εἰς τοὺς υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ εἰς τοὺς υἱοὺς Εδωμ καὶ εἰς τὸν Βαιθεωρ καὶ εἰς βασιλέα Σουβα καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους οὗ ἂν ἐστράφη ἐσῴζετο

48 Alitenda kwa ushujaa mkubwa na kuwashinda Waamaleki. Aliwaokoa Israeli kutoka mikono ya watu ambao waliwateka nyara.

καὶ ἐποίησεν δύναμιν καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Αμαληκ καὶ ἐξείλατο τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν καταπατούντων αὐτόν

49 Basi wana wa Sauli walikuwa ni hawa Yonathani, Ishvi, na Malkishua. Na majina ya binti zake wawili yalikuwa ni haya, Merabu mzaliwa wa kwanza, na mdogo aliitwa Mikali.

καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Σαουλ Ιωναθαν καὶ Ιεσσιου καὶ Μελχισα καὶ ὀνόματα τῶν δύο θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ ὄνομα τῇ πρωτοτόκῳ Μεροβ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Μελχολ

50 Jina la mke wa Sauli aliitwa Ahinoamu; naye alikuwa binti Ahimaasi. Na jina la Jemedari wa jeshi lake aliitwa Abneri mwana wa Neri, baba mdogo wa Sauli.

καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ Αχινοομ θυγάτηρ Αχιμαας καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀρχιστρατήγῳ Αβεννηρ υἱὸς Νηρ υἱοῦ οἰκείου Σαουλ

51 Kishi alikuwa baba yake Sauli; na Neri alikuwa baba yake na Abneri, wote walikuwa wana wa Abieli.

καὶ Κις πατὴρ Σαουλ καὶ Νηρ πατὴρ Αβεννηρ υἱὸς Ιαμιν υἱοῦ Αβιηλ

52 Kulikuwa na mapigano makali dhidi ya Wafilisti katika siku zote za Sauli. Naye alipomwona mtu yeyote mwenye nguvu, au mtu yeyote jasiri, alimuunganisha kwake.

καὶ ἦν ὁ πόλεμος κραταιὸς ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαουλ καὶ ἰδὼν Σαουλ πάντα ἄνδρα δυνατὸν καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα υἱὸν δυνάμεως καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτόν
