1 Samuela 26
1 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata Sifi kia Saula ki Kipea, ʻonau pehē, ʻIkai ʻoku toitoi ʻa Tevita ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Hakila ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki Sesimoni?
Hao Wazifu wakamwendea Sauli huko Gibea na kusema, “Je, Daudi hakujificha katika kilima cha Hakila, kinachotazamana na Yeshimoni?”
2 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Saula ʻo ne hifo ki he toafa ʻo Sifi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu afe naʻe fili mei ʻIsileli, kenau kumi ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻo Sifi.
Hivyo Sauli akashuka kwenda katika Jangwa la Zifu, akiwa na watu wake 3,000 wa Israeli waliochaguliwa, kumsaka Daudi huko.
3 Pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻa Saula ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Hakila, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki Sesimoni, ʻi he veʻehala. Ka naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa, ʻo ne vakai mei ai ʻae haʻu ʻa Saula ke kumi ia ʻi he toafa.
Sauli akapiga kambi yake kando ya barabara juu ya kilima cha Hakila kinachotazamana na Yeshimoni, lakini Daudi alikuwa anaishi huko jangwani. Alipoona kuwa Sauli amemfuata huko,
4 Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Tevita ʻae kau mataki, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo haʻu moʻoni ʻa Saula.
Daudi akatuma wapelelezi na akapata habari kwa hakika kwamba Sauli alikuwa amewasili.
5 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne haʻu ki he potu ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻapitanga ai ʻa Saula: pea naʻe vakai ʻe Tevita ki he potu naʻe tokoto ai ʻa Saula mo ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe tau: pea naʻe tokoto ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene saliote, pea naʻe nofo takatakai ʻa ʻene kakai kiate ia.
Ndipo Daudi akaondoka, akaenda hadi mahali Sauli alikuwa amepiga kambi. Akaona mahali Sauli na Abneri mwana wa Neri, jemadari wa jeshi, walipokuwa wamelala. Sauli alikuwa amelala ndani ya kambi, jeshi likiwa limemzunguka.
6 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita ʻo pehē kia ʻAhimeleki ko e tangata Heti, mo ʻApisai ko e tama ʻa Seluia, ko e tokoua ʻo Soape, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hifo mo au kia Saula ki he ʻapitanga?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisai, “Ta ō hifo mo koe.”
Basi Daudi akamuuliza Ahimeleki Mhiti, na Abishai mwana wa Seruya, nduguye Yoabu, akisema, “Ni nani atakayeshuka pamoja nami kambini kwa Sauli?” Abishai akajibu, “Nitakwenda pamoja nawe.”
7 Ko ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa Tevita mo ʻApisai ki he kakai ʻi he poʻuli: pea vakai, naʻe tokoto ʻo mohe ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene saliote, pea naʻe velo hono tao ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻolunga: pea naʻe tokoto ʻa ʻApina mo e kakai ʻo takatakai ʻiate ia.
Hivyo Daudi na Abishai wakaenda kwenye jeshi wakati wa usiku, tazama Sauli, alikuwa amelala ndani ya kambi na mkuki wake umekitwa ardhini karibu na kichwa chake. Abneri na askari walikuwa wamelala kumzunguka Sauli.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻApisai kia Tevita, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ho fili ki ho nima he ʻaho ni: pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u veloʻi leva ia ʻaki ʻae tao ki he kelekele, pea ʻe ʻikai te u veloʻi ia ke liunga ua.”
Abishai akamwambia Daudi, “Leo Mungu amemtia adui yako mikononi mwako. Sasa niruhusu nimchome mpaka ardhini kwa pigo moja la mkuki wangu; sitamchoma mara mbili.”
9 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApisai, “ʻOua naʻa tāmateʻi ia: he ko hai ʻe mafao atu hono nima ki he fakatapui ʻa Sihova pea taʻeangahala ia?”
Lakini Daudi akamwambia Abishai, “Usimwangamize! Ni nani awezaye kutia mkono juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana na asiwe na hatia?”
10 Pea naʻe lea foki ʻa Tevita, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova pea ʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova pea ʻe hokosia hono ʻaho ke mate ai pē te ne ʻalu ki ha tau, pea mate ai.
Daudi akasema, “Hakika kama vile Bwana aishivyo, Bwana mwenyewe atampiga; au wakati wake utafika, naye atakufa, au atakwenda vitani na kuangamia.
11 Ke taʻofi au ʻe Sihova ke ʻoua naʻaku mafao hoku nima ki he fakatapui ʻa Sihova: ka ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke toʻo ni ʻae tao ʻoku ʻi hono ʻolunga, pea mo e ipu vai, pea ke ta ō.”
Lakini Mungu na apishie mbali nisije nikainua mkono juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana. Sasa chukua huo mkuki na hilo gudulia la maji vilivyo karibu na kichwa chake, tuondoke.”
12 Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Tevita ʻae tao mo e ipu vai mei he ʻolunga ʻo Saula: pea ne na hiki, ʻo na ō, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ki ai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻilo ia, pe ʻā ai: he kuo nau mohe kotoa pē; koeʻuhi kuo tō kiate kinautolu ʻae mohe maʻu meia Sihova.
Hivyo Daudi akachukua huo mkuki na hilo gudulia la maji vilivyokuwa karibu na kichwa cha Sauli, nao wakaondoka. Hakuna yeyote aliyeona au kufahamu habari hii, wala hakuna hata mmoja aliyeamka usingizini. Wote walikuwa wamelala, kwa sababu Bwana alikuwa amewatia kwenye usingizi mzito.
13 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo laka ki he potu ʻe taha, pea tuʻu ia ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga ʻo mamaʻo ai; ko e ʻataʻatā lahi naʻe ʻi hona vahaʻa:
Kisha Daudi akavuka upande mwingine na kusimama juu ya kilima mahali palipokuwa na nafasi pana kati yao.
14 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Tevita ki he kakai, pea kia ʻApina ko e foha ʻo Nea, ʻo pehē, “ʻApina ʻoku ʻikai te ke lea?” Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa ʻApina, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai koe ʻoku ke ui ki he tuʻi?”
Daudi akalipigia kelele jeshi na Abneri mwana wa Neri, akisema, “Je, Abneri, hutanijibu?” Abneri akajibu, “Nani wewe umwitaye mfalme?”
15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻApina, “ʻIkai ko e tangata koe? Pea ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe ʻi ʻIsileli? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te ke maluʻi ai hoʻo ʻeiki ko e tuʻi? He naʻe ʻalu atu ha tokotaha mei he kakai ke taaʻi ʻae tuʻi ko ho ʻeiki.
Daudi akasema, “Wewe si ni mtu shujaa? Ni nani aliye kama wewe katika Israeli? Kwa nini basi hukumlinda mfalme bwana wako? Mtu mmoja alikuja kumwangamiza mfalme, bwana wako.
16 Ko e meʻa kuo ke fai ʻoku ʻikai lelei. Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻoku totonu ke mou mate tāmateʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mou leʻohi homou ʻeiki ko e fakatapui ʻe Sihova. Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo ʻi fē ʻae tao ʻoe tuʻi mo e ipu vai naʻe ʻi hono ʻolunga.”
Ulichokifanya si kizuri. Kwa hakika kama aishivyo Bwana, wewe na watu wako mnastahili kufa, kwa sababu hamkumlinda bwana wenu, mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana. Tazameni hapo mlipo. Uko wapi mkuki wa mfalme na gudulia la maji ambavyo vilikuwa karibu na kichwa chake?”
17 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ʻae leʻo ʻo Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “He ko ho leʻo ʻena, ʻa hoku foha ko Tevita?” Pea pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko hoku leʻo ia, ʻE tuʻi ko hoku ʻeiki.”
Sauli akatambua sauti ya Daudi, na kusema, “Je, hiyo ni sauti yako, Daudi mwanangu?” Daudi akajibu, “Naam, hiyo ndiyo, bwana wangu mfalme.”
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku tuli pehē ai ʻe hoku ʻeiki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? He ko e hā ia naʻaku fai? Pe ko e hā ha kovi ʻoku ʻi hoku nima?
Pia akaongeza, “Kwa nini bwana wangu anamfuatia mtumishi wake? Nimefanya nini, nalo kosa langu ni lipi nililolifanya niwe na hatia?
19 Pea ko eni, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke fanongo ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ki he lea ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki. Kapau kuo langaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ke tauʻi au, tuku ke ne maʻu mālie ha feilaulau: pea kapau ʻoku mei he fānau ʻae tangata, ke malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; he kuo nau kapusi au he ʻaho ni, ke ʻoua naʻaku nofo ʻi he tofiʻa ʻo Sihova, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe.’
Sasa mfalme bwana wangu na asikilize maneno ya mtumishi wake. Kama Bwana amekuchochea dhidi yangu, basi yeye na aipokee sadaka yangu. Lakini hata hivyo, kama ni wanadamu waliofanya hivyo, walaaniwe mbele za Bwana! Wao sasa wamenifukuza kutoka sehemu yangu katika urithi wa Bwana wangu wakisema, ‘Nenda ukatumikie miungu mingine.’
20 Pea ko eni, ke ʻoua naʻa tafe hoku toto ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova: he kuo haʻu kituaʻā ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke kumi ʻae kutufisi, ʻo hangē ha tokotaha ʻoku tuli ʻae veka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.”
Basi usiache damu yangu imwagike kwenye ardhi mbali na uso wa Bwana. Mfalme wa Israeli ametoka kutafuta kiroboto, kama vile mtu awindavyo kware katika milima.”
21 Pea pehē ai ʻe Saula, “Kuo u fai angahala: ʻe hoku foha ko Tevita, tafoki mai: ʻe ʻikai te u toe fai ha kovi kiate koe, koeʻuhi naʻe maʻongoʻonga ʻa hoku laumālie ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni: vakai, kuo u fai ʻae anga fakavalevale, pea kuo u hē lahi ʻaupito.”
Ndipo Sauli akasema, “Nimetenda dhambi. Rudi, Daudi mwanangu. Kwa kuwa uliyahesabu maisha yangu kuwa ya thamani leo, sitajaribu kukudhuru tena. Hakika nimetenda kama mpumbavu na nimekosa sana.”
22 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Tevita ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e tao ʻoe tuʻi! Pea ke haʻu ha tokotaha ʻoe kau talavou ʻo ʻatu ia.
Daudi akajibu, “Mkuki wa mfalme uko hapa. Mmoja wa vijana wako na avuke kuuchukua.
23 Ke ʻatu ʻe Sihova ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni mo ʻene angatonu: he naʻe tuku mai koe ʻe Sihova ki hoku nima he ʻaho ni, ka naʻe ʻikai te u loto ke mafao atu hoku nima ke taaʻi ʻae fakatapui ʻe Sihova.
Bwana humlipa kila mtu kwa ajili ya haki yake na uaminifu wake. Bwana alikutia katika mikono yangu leo, lakini sikuinua mkono wangu juu ya mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana.
24 Pea vakai, hangē naʻe mahuʻinga lahi hoʻo moʻui he ʻaho ni ʻi hoku mata, ʻofa ke mahuʻinga pehē ʻeku moʻui ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻe ia au mei he ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.”
Kwa hakika kama vile maisha yako yalivyokuwa ya thamani kwangu leo, vivyo hivyo maisha yangu na yawe na thamani kwa Bwana na kuniokoa kutoka taabu zote.”
25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻE hoku foha ko Tevita: ke monūʻia pe koe, he te ke fai pe ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea ke ikuna foki.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita ʻi hono hala, pea liu atu ʻa Saula ki hono potu.
Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Mwanangu Daudi na ubarikiwe; utafanya mambo makubwa na hakika utashinda.” Basi Daudi akaenda zake, naye Sauli akarudi nyumbani.
