1 Samuel 19
1 Saulo hyɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ ne ne babarima Yonatan sɛ wɔnkum Dawid. Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ na Yonatan adamfo brɛboɔ ne Dawid enti,
USawuli wasekhuluma kuJonathani indodana yakhe lakuzo zonke inceku zakhe ukuthi babulale uDavida. Kodwa uJonathani indodana kaSawuli wayemthanda kakhulukazi uDavida.
2 Yonatan kaa adwene a nʼagya ayɛ afa ne ho no kyerɛɛ no tuu no fo sɛ, “Ɔkyena anɔpa, pɛ wiram baabi kɔbɔ wo ho adwaa, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼagya repɛ wo akum wo.
UJonathani wasemtshela uDavida esithi: USawuli ubaba udinga ukukubulala; ngakho-ke ake uzinanzelele ekuseni, uhlale ekusithekeni, ucatshe.
3 Mɛka akyerɛ mʼagya, na ɔne me aba hɔ na mɛka wo ho asɛm nyinaa akyerɛ no. Na biribiara a mɛhunu wɔ hɔ no nso, mɛbɔ wo amaneɛ.”
Mina-ke ngizaphuma ngime eceleni kukababa emmangweni lapho okhona, mina ngizakhuluma ngawe kubaba; lengikubonayo ngizakutshela.
4 Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Yonatan ne nʼagya dii nkɔmmɔ faa Dawid ho. Yonatan kaa ne ho nsɛm pa pii. Yonatan srɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ bɔne biara ntia Dawid. Ɔnyɛɛ biribiara a ɛbɛha wo. Daa, ɔnam ɛkwan biara a ɔbɛtumi so boa wo.
UJonathani wasekhuluma okuhle ngoDavida kuSawuli uyise, wathi kuye: Inkosi kayingayoni inceku yayo, imelane loDavida, ngoba kakonanga wena, langokunjalo imisebenzi yakhe ilungile kakhulu kuwe.
5 Wo werɛ afiri ɛberɛ a ɔde ne nkwa too ne nsam, kɔkumm Filistini ɔbrane, na ɛnam so maa Awurade de nkonimdie kɛseɛ brɛɛ Israel no? Saa ɛberɛ no, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ, wʼani gyeeɛ. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ wokum onipa a ne ho nni asɛm sɛ Dawid? Nkyerɛaseɛ pa biara nni so koraa.”
Ngoba wafaka impilo yakhe esandleni sakhe watshaya umFilisti; leNkosi yenzela uIsrayeli wonke usindiso olukhulu. Wakubona, wathokoza. Pho, uzalonelani igazi elingelacala ngokubulala uDavida kungelasizatho?
6 Enti, Saulo tiee Yonatan, na ɔkaa ho ntam dii nse sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, wɔrenkum Dawid.”
USawuli waselilalela ilizwi likaJonathani, uSawuli wafunga wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kayikubulawa.
7 Akyire yi, Yonatan frɛɛ Dawid kaa asɛm a asi no kyerɛɛ no. Enti, ɔfaa Dawid de no kɔhunuu Saulo, na biribiara totɔɔ yie, sɛdeɛ kane no na ɛteɛ no ara pɛ.
UJonathani wasembiza uDavida, uJonathani wamtshela wonke lawomazwi. UJonathani wasemletha uDavida kuSawuli, njalo wayephambi kwakhe njengakuqala.
8 Ankyɛre biara na ɔko bi siiɛ, maa Dawid dii nʼakodɔm anim kɔko tiaa Filistifoɔ. Ɔde anibereɛ tuaa wɔn, maa wɔn nyinaa dwaneeɛ.
Kwabuya kwaba khona impi; uDavida wasephuma walwa lamaFilisti, wawatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu aze ambalekela.
9 Nanso, ɛda bi Saulo te fie ara na honhommɔne a ɛfiri Awurade bɛhyɛɛ ne mu prɛko pɛ bio. Ɛberɛ a Dawid rebɔ ne sankuo ama ɔhene no,
Njalo umoya omubi ovela eNkosini wawuphezu kukaSawuli ehlezi endlini yakhe, lomkhonto usesandleni sakhe; loDavida wayetshaya ichacho ngesandla sakhe.
10 Saulo too ne pea kyerɛɛ Dawid so, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum no. Nanso, Dawid twee ne ho, totɔɔ esum mu dwaneeɛ maa pea no kaa ɔfasuo no mu.
USawuli wasedinga ukummbandakanya uDavida ngitsho emdulini ngomkhonto; kodwa waphunyuka ebukhoneni bukaSawuli, owahlaba umkhonto emdulini. UDavida wabaleka waphepha ngalobobusuku.
11 Saulo somaa mmarima kɔɔ Dawid fie kɔwɛn hɔ sɛ, ɔpue anɔpa a wɔnkum no. Nanso, Dawid yere Mikal bɔɔ no kɔkɔ sɛ, “Sɛ woannwane ampɛ wo nkwa anadwo yi a, ɔkyena, wɔbɛkum wo.”
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa endlini kaDavida ukuze zimqaphele zimbulale ekuseni. UMikhali umkakhe wasemtshela uDavida esithi: Uba ungasindisi impilo yakho ngalobubusuku, kusasa uzabulawa.
12 Enti, Mikal de Dawid faa mpomma mu ma ɔdwaneeɛ.
Ngakho uMikhali wasemehlisa uDavida ngewindi, wasehamba wabaleka waphepha.
13 Na Mikal faa ohoni bi de no too mpa so de atadeɛ kataa ho, na ne ti hɔ no nso, ɔde abirekyie ho nwi kataa so.
UMikhali wasethatha isithombe, wasifaka embhedeni, wabeka umqamelo woboya bembuzi endaweni yekhanda laso, wasembesa ngelembu.
14 Ɛberɛ a Saulo somaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔkyere Dawid no, Mikal ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɔyare a ɔntumi nsɔre mfiri mpa so.”
Lapho uSawuli ethuma izithunywa ukuthatha uDavida, wathi: Uyagula.
15 Saulo sane somaa mmarima no bio sɛ, “Monkɔfa no mfiri ne mpa so mmra, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi akum no.”
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa ukumbona uDavida esithi: Menyuseleni kimi ngombheda ukuze ngimbulale.
16 Nanso, mmarima no wuraa ɛdan no mu no, na ohoni na ɔda mpa no so a abirekyie ho nwi na ɛkata so.
Lapho izithunywa zingena, khangela-ke, kwakulesithombe embhedeni, lomqamelo woboya bembuzi endaweni yekhanda laso.
17 Saulo bisaa Mikal sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woadaadaa me, ama me ɔtamfoɔ adwane?” Mikal buaa no sɛ, “Na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ saa ɛfiri sɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Mammoa no a, ɔbɛkum me.’”
USawuli wasesithi kuMikhali: Ungikhohliseleni kanje, wayekela isitha sami sahamba saphepha? UMikhali wasesithi kuSawuli: Yena uthe kimi: Ngiyekela ngihambe; ngizakubulalelani?
18 Ɛberɛ a Dawid dwaneeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ Samuel nkyɛn wɔ Rama kɔkaa deɛ Saulo ayɛ noɔ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Enti, Samuel de Dawid kɔtenaa Naiot.
Ngokunjalo uDavida wabaleka waphunyuka, wafika kuSamuweli eRama; wamtshela konke uSawuli ayekwenze kuye. Yena loSamuweli basebesiyahlala eNayothi.
19 Ɛberɛ a Saulo tee sɛ Dawid te Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama no,
USawuli wasebikelwa kwathiwa: Khangela, uDavida useNayothi eRama.
20 ɔsomaa akodɔm sɛ wɔnkɔkye no mmra. Nanso, wɔduruiɛ a wɔhunuu Samuel ne adiyifoɔ bi sɛ wɔrehyɛ nkɔm no, Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo mmarima no so, maa wɔn nso hyɛɛ nkɔm.
USawuli wasethuma izithunywa ukumthatha uDavida; lapho zibona ixuku labaprofethi beprofetha, loSamuweli emi engumkhokheli phezu kwabo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwezithunywa zikaSawuli, lazo zaseziprofetha.
21 Saulo tee asɛm a aba no, ɔsane somaa akodɔm foforɔ, nanso wɔn nso kɔhyɛɛ nkɔm! Asɛm korɔ no ara sii ne mprɛnsa so.
Lapho ebikelwa uSawuli, wathuma ezinye izithunywa, zona lazo zaprofetha. USawuli wasephinda ethuma izithunywa ngokwesithathu, zona lazo zaprofetha.
22 Akyire no koraa, Saulo no ankasa kɔɔ Rama, kɔduruu abura kɛseɛ bi a ɛwɔ Seku ho. Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Samuel ne Dawid wɔ he?” Obi ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔn baanu wɔ Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama hɔ.”
Laye wasesiya eRama, wafika emthonjeni omkhulu oseSeku, wabuza wathi: Bangaphi oSamuweli loDavida? Kwathiwa: Khangela, eNayothi eRama.
23 Na ɔrekɔ Naiot no, ɛkwan no so na Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso hyɛɛ aseɛ hyɛɛ nkɔm.
Wasesiya khona eNayothi eRama; loMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwakhe laye; wahamba ehamba eprofetha waze wafika eNayothi eRama.
24 Ɔsunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu, de ne ho too fam, daa hɔ ɛda mu ne anadwo mu nyinaa, hyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ Samuel anim. Nnipa a wɔrehwɛ no no teateaam sɛ, “Asɛm ni? Enti, daa yi Saulo nso yɛ odiyifoɔ?”
Laye wasekhulula izigqoko zakhe, laye waprofetha phambi kukaSamuweli, walala phansi enqunu lonke lolosuku labo bonke lobobusuku. Yikho besithi: USawuli laye uphakathi kwabaprofethi yini?
