1 Samuela 25
1 Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Samuela; pea naʻe kātoa fakataha ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau tēngihia ia, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻi Lama. Pea naʻe hiki ʻa Tevita ʻo ʻalu hifo ki he toafa ʻo Palani.
USamuweli wasesifa; loIsrayeli wonke wahlangana, bamlilela, bamngcwabela endlini yakhe eRama. UDavida wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeParani.
2 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi Maoni, ka naʻe ʻi Kameli ʻa hono tofiʻa; pea ko e tangata lahi ia, pea naʻe tolu afe ʻene fanga sipi, pea mo e kosi ʻe taha afe: pea naʻe kosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene fanga sipi ʻi Kameli.
Kwakukhona-ke indoda eMahoni, lomsebenzi wayo wawuseKharmeli; lindoda-ke yayiyisikhulu esikhulu, yayilezimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu lembuzi eziyinkulungwane, yayigunda izimvu zayo eKharmeli.
3 Pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe tangata ko Napale; pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko ʻApikale: pea ko e fefine loto fakapotopoto, mo mata hoihoifua ia: ka naʻe angakovi ʻae tangata, pea kovi ʻi heʻene faianga; pea naʻe ʻoe fale ʻo Kelepi ia.
Njalo ibizo laleyondoda lalinguNabali, lebizo lomkayo lalinguAbigayili. Njalo owesifazana wayelokuqedisisa okuhle, elesimo esihle, kodwa indoda yayilukhuni ilezenzo ezimbi; yayingeyakoKalebi.
4 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻoku fai ʻene kosi sipi ʻe Napale.
UDavida wasesizwa esenkangala ukuthi uNabali ugunda izimvu zakhe.
5 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talavou ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau talavou, “Mou ʻalu hake ki Kameli, pea ʻalu kia Napale, ʻo lea ʻofa kiate ia ʻi hoku hingoa:
UDavida wasethuma amajaha alitshumi, uDavida wathi emajaheni: Yenyukelani eKharmeli, liye kuNabali, limbuze impilo ebizweni lami,
6 pea mou lea pehē kiate ia ʻoku moʻui monūʻia, Ke ʻiate koe ʻae fiemālie, ke ʻi ho fale ʻae fiemālie, pea ke ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae fiemālie,
lizakutsho njalo: Impilakahle kayibe kuwe, ukuthula kakube kuwe, lokuthula kakube sendlini yakho, lokuthula kakube kukho konke olakho!
7 pea ko eni, kuo u fanongo, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae kau kosi sipi: pea ko eni naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo kau tauhi sipi, naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ha meʻa kovi kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa naʻe mole ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻemau nofo ʻi Kameli.
Sengizwile-ke ukuthi ulabagundi; abelusi olabo-ke babelathi, kasibalimazanga, futhi kabaswelanga lutho zonke izinsuku beseKharmeli.
8 Ke ke fehuʻi ki hoʻo kau talavou, pea tenau fakahā kiate koe. Ko ia, tuku ke maʻu ʻe he kau talavou ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao: he ʻoku mau hoko ʻi he ʻaho lelei: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, foaki mai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa ʻomi ʻe ho nima ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ki ho foha ko Tevita.”
Buza amajaha akho, azakutshela. Ngakho amajaha kawathole umusa emehlweni akho, ngoba sifike ngosuku oluhle. Akunike inceku zakho lendodana yakho uDavida lokho isandla sakho esizakuthola.
9 Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau talavou ʻa Tevita, naʻa nau lea kia Napale ʻi he hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, pea ngata.
Kwathi amajaha kaDavida esefikile, akhuluma kuNabali ngokwalawomazwi wonke ebizweni likaDavida, aselinda.
10 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Napale ki he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻa Tevita? Pea ko hai ʻae foha ʻo Sese? ʻOku ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni ʻoku motuhi mo hola taki taha mei heʻene ʻeiki.
UNabali waseziphendula izinceku zikaDavida, wathi: Ngubani uDavida? Njalo ngubani indodana kaJese? Lamuhla zinengi inceku ezibalekayo, ileyo laleyo enkosini yayo.
11 Pea ʻe pehē koā ʻa ʻeku toʻo ʻeku mā mo ʻeku vai, mo ʻeku fanga manu kuo tāmateʻi maʻa ʻeku kau kosi sipi, pea foaki ia ki he kau tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pē ʻoku mei fē ʻakinautolu?”
Pho, ngithathe isinkwa sami, lamanzi ami, lenyama yami engiyihlabele abagundi bami, ngikuphe abantu engingazi ukuthi bavela ngaphi?
12 Ko ia naʻe tafoki ai ʻae kau talavou ʻa Tevita ʻo toe ʻalu ʻi honau hala, ʻo hoko ʻo fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi tala ni kotoa pē.
Amajaha kaDavida asephendukela endleleni yawo, abuyela, eza, ambikela njengawo wonke lamazwi.
13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki hono kau tangata, “Mou nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene heletā.” Pea naʻa nau nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene heletā: pea naʻe nonoʻo foki mo Tevita ʻene heletā: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻo muimui ʻia Tevita, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau; pea naʻe nofo ʻae toko uangeau mo ʻenau ngaʻotoʻota.
UDavida wasesithi ebantwini bakhe: Bhincani, ngulowo lalowo inkemba yakhe! Babhinca, ngulowo lalowo inkemba yakhe, loDavida laye wabhinca inkemba yakhe; kwasekusenyuka emva kukaDavida phose amadoda angamakhulu amane, kodwa angamakhulu amabili ahlala empahleni.
14 Ka naʻe tala kia ʻApikale ko e uaifi ʻo Napale ʻe he talavou ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talavou mei he toafa mo e lea ʻofa ki homau ʻeiki; ka naʻa ne taukae ʻakinautolu.
Kodwa elinye ijaha lamajaha lamtshela uAbigayili umkaNabali lathi: Khangela, uDavida uthume izithunywa zivela enkangala ukubingelela inkosi yethu, kodwa yazithethisa.
15 Ka naʻe fai angalelei lahi ʻae kau tangata kiate kimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai hamau lavea ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻamau meʻa ʻe mole ʻi he ʻemau nonofo mo kinautolu, ʻi heʻemau ʻi he ngaahi vao:
Kanti labobantu basiphatha kuhle kakhulu, kasilimalanga, kasiswelanga lutho zonke izinsuku sihambisana labo, sisemmangweni.
16 Ko e ā ʻakinautolu kiate kimautolu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē naʻa mau ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he tauhi ʻae fanga sipi.
Babengumduli kithi ebusuku kanye lemini, zonke izinsuku silabo seluse izimvu.
17 Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻilo, pea fifili pe ko e hā ia te ke fai; he kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ki hotau ʻeiki, pea ki hono fale kotoa pē: he ʻoku pehē fau ʻa ʻene angakovi, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lea ha tangata kiate ia.”
Khathesi-ke, yazi ubone ukuthi uzakwenzani; ngoba ububi buqunyelwe inkosi yethu lendlu yayo yonke; ngoba uyindodana kaBheliyali okungangokuthi kakho ongakhuluma laye.
18 Ko ia naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo ai ʻe ʻApikale, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae mā kotoa ʻe uangeau, mo e hina uaine ʻe ua, mo e sipi ʻe nima kuo ngaohi, mo e fua uite tunu ʻe nima, mo e fuhi kālepi ʻe teau, mo e mā fiki ʻe uangeau, pea naʻa ne fakaheka ia ki he fanga ʻasi.
UAbigayili wasephangisa wathatha izinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili, lembodlela ezimbili zewayini, lezimvu ezinhlanu ezilungisiweyo, lamaseya amane amabele akhanzingiweyo, lamahlukuzo alikhulu ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo, lezinkwa ezingamakhulu amabili zomkhiwa, wakuthwalisa obabhemi.
19 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate au: vakai te u muimui atu.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ki hono husepāniti ko Napale.
Wasesithi emajaheni akhe: Dlulani phambi kwami; khangelani, ngiyalilandela. Kodwa kamtshelanga umkakhe uNabali.
20 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene heka ʻi he ʻasi, pea hoko atu ia ki he malumalu ʻoe moʻunga, vakai, ko Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻoku ʻalu hifo fakahangatonu mai kiate ia; pea naʻe fakafetaulaki atu ia kiate kinautolu.
Kwasekusithi esagade ubabhemi esehlela endaweni esithekileyo yentaba, khangela-ke, uDavida labantu bakhe behla behlangabezana laye; wasehlangana labo.
21 Ka kuo ʻosi ʻene lau ʻe Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo taʻeʻaonga ʻeku leʻohi ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻae siana ni ʻi he toafa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe mole ʻi heʻene ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo ne totongi kovi ʻe ia kiate au ʻi he lelei.
Njalo uDavida wayethe: Isibili ngigcine ngeze konke lo ayelakho enkangala, kakwaze kwasweleka lutho kukho konke ayelakho. Usengibuyisele okubi ngokuhle.
22 Ke fai pehē mo lahi hake foki ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi fili ʻo Tevita, ʻo kapau te u tuku ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa hake ʻae ʻaho ʻapongipongi ha tamasiʻi tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
UNkulunkulu akenze njalo ezitheni zikaDavida, engezelele ngokunjalo, uba ngitshiya loyedwa kubo bonke alabo kuze kube sekuseni abachamela emdulini.
23 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻApikale kia Tevita, naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia, pea hifo mei he ʻasi, pea fakatōmapeʻe ia kia Tevita ʻi hono mata, ʻo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele,
Lapho uAbigayili ebona uDavida, waphangisa wehla kubabhemi, wathi mbo ngobuso bakhe phansi phambi kukaDavida, wakhothamela emhlabathini.
24 Pea naʻe fakatōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, tuku kiate au, tuku kiate au ʻae hia ni: pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke lea ʻa hoʻo kaunanga ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fanongo ki he lea ʻa hoʻo kaunanga.
Wawela enyaweni zakhe wathi: Lobububi kabube phezu kwami mina, nkosi yami; incekukazi yakho ake ikhulume endlebeni zakho, uzwe amazwi encekukazi yakho.
25 ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa tokanga ʻe hoku ʻeiki ki he tangata angakovi ni ko Napale; he ʻoku hangē ko hono hingoa, ʻoku pehē pe ia; ko Napale hono hingoa, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae vale: ka ko au ko hoʻo kaunanga naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki he kau talavou ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ʻaia naʻa ke fekau.
Inkosi yami ake inganaki lowomuntu kaBheliyali, uNabali; ngoba njengebizo lakhe unjalo; uNabali libizo lakhe, lobuthutha bukuye. Kodwa mina, incekukazi yakho, kangiwabonanga amajaha enkosi yami owawathumayo.
26 Pea ko eni, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea moʻui mo ho laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻofi koe ʻe Sihova, mei he haʻu ke lingi ʻae toto, pea mei he fai totongi ʻe koe ʻaki ho nima ʻoʻou, ko ia, ke hoko ho ngaahi fili mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi ke fai kovi ki hoku ʻeiki, ke hangē ko Napale.
Ngakho-ke, nkosi yami, kuphila kukaJehova, lokuphila komphefumulo wakho, njengoba iNkosi ikunqandile ukungena ngokuchitha igazi, lokuziphindisela ngesandla sakho, ngalokho-ke kazibe njengoNabali izitha zakho lalabo abadinga ububi enkosini yami.
27 Pea ko eni, ko e meʻaʻofa ni ʻaia kuo ʻomi ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ki hoku ʻeiki, ke ʻatu ia ki he kau talavou ʻoku muimui ki hoku ʻeiki.
Manje-ke, lesisibusiso incekukazi yakho esilethe enkosini yami kasinikwe amajaha ahamba esiya le lale emanyathelweni enkosi yami.
28 ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamolemole ʻae hala ʻa hoʻo kaunanga: he ko e moʻoni ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻeiki ʻae fale tuʻumaʻu; koeʻuhi ʻoku fai ʻe hoku ʻeiki ʻae ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate koe ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
Akuthethelele isiphambeko sencekukazi yakho; ngoba iNkosi izakwenzela lokwenzela inkosi yami indlu eqinileyo, ngoba inkosi yami ilwa izimpi zeNkosi, lobubi kabutholwanga kuwe kusukela ensukwini zakho.
29 Ka kuo tuʻu hake ʻae tangata ke tuli koe, pea ke kumi ho laumālie: ka ko e laumālie ʻo hoku ʻeiki ʻe fakataha ia ʻi he ū moʻui ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ka ko e laumālie ʻo ho ngaahi fili ʻe lisingi ʻe ia ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, ʻo hangē ko e lisingi mei he loto makatā.
Loba kusukuma umuntu ukukuxotsha lokudinga impilo yakho, kodwa umphefumulo wenkosi yami uzabotshelwa emqulwini wabaphilayo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; kodwa umphefumulo wezitha zakho izawujikijela kungathi uphume phakathi kwesavutha.
30 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hili hono fai ʻe Sihova ki ai kiate koe, mo ne fokotuʻu koe ko e pule ki ʻIsileli;
Kwasekusithi, lapho iNkosi isikwenzile enkosini yami njengakho konke okuhle ekukhulume ngawe, isikumisile waba ngumbusi phezu kukaIsrayeli,
31 ʻE ʻikai hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni ko e meʻa te ke koviʻia ai, pe fakamamahi ki he loto ʻo hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo lingi taʻetotonu ʻae toto, pe ko e langomakiʻi ia, ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoka hili ʻene fai lelei ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻeiki, pea ke toki manatuʻi ai hoʻo kaunanga.
kakungabi yisikhubekiso kuwe lokukhubekiswa kwenhliziyo enkosini yami, ngokuthi uchithe igazi ngeze, lokuthi inkosi yami iziphindisele. Lapho iNkosi isiyenzele okuhle inkosi yami, khumbula incekukazi yakho.
32 Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Tevita kia ʻApikale, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau koe he ʻaho ni ke fakafetaulaki kiate au:
UDavida wasesithi kuAbigayili: Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ekuthumileyo lamuhla ukungihlangabeza.
33 Pea fakafetaʻi koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tokoni, pea ke monūʻia pe koe, ʻa koe kuo ke taʻofi au he ʻaho ni ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu atu ʻo lingi ʻae toto, pea mei he langomakiʻi au ʻaki hoku nima.
Futhi kakubusiswe ukuqedisisa kwakho, ubusiswe lawe onginqandileyo lamuhla ukuze ngingangeni ekuchitheni igazi lokuziphindisela ngesandla sami.
34 He ko e moʻoni ʻaupito, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne taʻofi au ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka ne taʻeʻoua hoʻo fakatoʻotoʻo pea ke haʻu ke fakafetaulaki kiate au, ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai toe kia Napale ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa hake ʻae ʻaho ʻapongipongi ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
Ngoba ngeqiniso, kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, onginqandileyo ukuze ngingenzi ububi kuwe, ngoba uba ubungaphangisanga weza ukungihlangabeza, sibili, bekungayikusala loyedwa kuNabali kuze kube sekukhanyeni kwekuseni ochamela emdulini.
35 Ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita mei hono nima ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻAlu fiemālie ki ho fale, vakai kuo u tokanga ki ho leʻo, pea kuo u leleiʻia ʻiate koe.”
UDavida wasesemukela esandleni sakhe lokho amlethele khona. Wasesithi kuye: Yenyukela ngokuthula endlini yakho; bona, ngililalele ilizwi lakho, ngibemukele ubuso bakho.
36 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻApikale kia Napale; pea vakai, naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kātoanga ʻi hono fale, ʻo hangē ko e kātoanga ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe fiefia lahi ʻae loto ʻo Napale, he naʻe kona lahi ia: ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ai ha meʻa siʻi pe ha meʻa lahi, kaeʻoua ke ʻaho hake.
UAbigayili wasefika kuNabali, khangela-ke, wayeledili endlini yakhe, njengedili lenkosi. Lenhliziyo kaNabali yathokoza phakathi kwakhe, njalo wayedakwe kwedlulisa; ngakho kamtshelanga lutho, oluncinyane loba olukhulu, kwaze kwaba sekukhanyeni kwekuseni.
37 Pea pongipongi ai ʻi he ʻalu ʻae uaine meia Napale, pea ʻi he ʻosi hono tala ʻe hono uaifi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe pongia hono loto ʻiate ia, pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko e maka.
Kwasekusithi ekuseni lapho iwayini seliphumile kuNabali, lomkakhe esemtshele lezizinto, inhliziyo yakhe yafa phakathi kwakhe, wasesiba njengelitshe.
38 Pea hili ia ko e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Napale, pea naʻe mate ai ia.
Kwasekusithi phose emva kwensuku ezilitshumi iNkosi yamtshaya uNabali, wasesifa.
39 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Tevita kuo mate ʻa Napale, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaia kuo langomekina ʻe ia ʻa hoku manukiʻi mei he nima ʻo Napale, pea kuo ne taʻofi ʻene tamaioʻeiki mei he kovi: he kuo fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻae angakovi ʻa Napale ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona.” Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae lea ʻa Tevita kia ʻApikale koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ia ko hono uaifi.
UDavida esezwile ukuthi uNabali usefile wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi emele udaba lwehlazo lami esandleni sikaNabali, yavimbela inceku yayo ebubini; iNkosi yabuyisela-ke ububi bukaNabali ekhanda lakhe. UDavida wasethuma, wakhuluma loAbigayili ukuthi amthathe abe ngumkakhe.
40 Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kia ʻApikale ki Kameli naʻa nau lea kiate ia ʻo pehē, “Kuo fekau mai ʻakimautolu ʻa Tevita kiate koe, ke mau ʻave koe kiate ia ko hono uaifi.”
Lapho izinceku zikaDavida zifika kuAbigayili eKharmeli, zakhuluma laye zisithi: UDavida usithumile kuwe ukukuthatha ube ngumkakhe.
41 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne fakapunou hifo hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ke hoko ʻa hoʻomou kaunanga ko e kaunanga ke kaukau ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoku ʻeiki.”
Wasesukuma, wakhothama ngobuso emhlabathini, wathi: Khangela, incekukazi yakho kayibe yisigqili sokugezisa inyawo zenceku zenkosi yami.
42 Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe ʻApikale, pea naʻe tuʻu hake pea heka ia ʻi he ʻasi, mo ʻene kau taʻahine ʻe toko nima naʻe muimui ʻiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo muimui atu ʻi he kau tangata fekau ʻa Tevita, pea naʻe hoko ia ko hono uaifi.
UAbigayili wasephangisa esukuma, wagada ubabhemi, lentombi zakhe ezinhlanu ezazimphelekezela, walandela izithunywa zikaDavida, waba ngumkakhe.
43 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻAhinoami mei Sesilili, pea naʻa na hoko fakatouʻosi pē ko hono ongo uaifi.
UDavida wathatha loAhinowama weJizereyeli, labo bobabili baba ngomkakhe.
44 Ka kuo foaki ʻe Saula hono ʻofefine ko Mikale, ko e uaifi ʻo Tevita, kia Faliteli ko e foha ʻo Leisi, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Kalimi.
Ngoba uSawuli wayenike uMikhali indodakazi yakhe, umkaDavida, kuPaliti indodana kaLayishi owayengoweGalimi.
