Jonathane o thusa Davida
1Jwale Davida a baleha Naiote e Rama, a ya ho Jonathane, a fihla a re ho yena: “Ebe ke entseng? Bokgopo ba ka ke bofe? Ke sitetswe ntatao ka eng, ha e le moo a batla ho mpolaya tjee?”
2Jonathane a re ho yena: “Hase ntho e ka etsahalang eno! O ke ke wa ba wa bolawa! Ha ho letho le leholo kapa le lenyenyane, leo ntate a ka le etsang a sa mpolella lona. Jwale a ka mpatela taba ee hobaneng? Ha ho jwalo!”
3Davida a boela a hlapanya, a re: “Ntatao o tseba hantle hore o nthata haholo; ke ka baka lena a itseng: ‘Jonathane a se ke a tseba taba ena, esere ya mo utlwisa bohloko.’ Ruri ke hlapanya ka Morena ya phelang, le ka wena: Bophelo ba ka bo itshwareletse ka ntekeletsane.”
4Yaba Jonathane o re ho Davida: “O rata ha ke o etsetsa eng?”
5Davida a re ho Jonathane: “Bona mona, hosasane kgwedi e tla be e thwasitse, mme ke lokela ho ba dijong le kgosi. Ntumelle ke tsamaye, ke yo ipata naheng, ho fihlela ka phirimana ya letsatsi la boraro. 6Ha ntatao a bona ke le siyo, o tle o re ho yena: ‘Davida o ile a nqophella hore ke mo dumelle a potlakele motseng wa habo wa Betlelehema, hobane hona teng lelapa labo lohle le tla etsa sehlabelo se etswang ka selemo le selemo.’ 7Haeba a ka re: ‘Ho lokile,’ mohlanka wa hao o tla phutholoha, empa haeba a ka halefa, o tsebe hore o ntheretse bobe. 8Ka baka lena, tshepahala ho mohlanka wa hao, hobane yena le wena le entse selekane sa Morena. Empa haeba ke entse bokgopo, ke hle ke bolawe ke wena ka sebele sa hao. O tla be o nkisetsang ho ntatao?”
9Yaba Jonathane o re: “O se ke wa hopola ntho e jwalo! Haeba ke ne ke tseba hore ntate o o reretse bobe, na ke ne nke ke ka o bolella?”
10Davida a botsa Jonathane, a re: “Ke mang ya tla ntsebisa haeba ntatao a o arabile hampe?”
11Jonathane a re ho Davida: “Tloo, re ya hara naha.” Bobedi ba bona ba tsamaya, ba ya hara naha.
12Jonathane a boela a re ho Davida: “Morena Modimo wa Iseraele, e be paki! Hosasane, ka yona nako ena, kapa ka letsatsi la boraro, ke tla botsa ntate. Haeba a o hopoletse tse molemo, ke tla o tsebisa. 13Empa haeba ntate a ikemiseditse ho o etsa hampe, Morena le yena a nketse jwalo, le ho feta moo, haeba nna nke ke ka o tsebisa, ka ba ka o lokolla hore o itsamaele ka kgotso. Morena a ke a be le wena jwalokaha a bile le ntate. 14Ha ke ntse ke phela, o mpontshe lerato la Morena, empa haeba ke eshwa, 15o se ke wa kgaotsa ho rata lelapa la ka kamehla yohle; esita leha Morena a se a timeditse dira tsohle tsa Davida lefatsheng.”
16Yaba Jonathane o etsa selekane le ba ntlo ya Davida, o re: “Morena a ke a iphetetse ho dira tsa Davida.” 17Jonathane a re Davida a hlapanye hape hore o tla mo rata, hobane Jonathane le yena o ne a rata Davida jwalokaha a ithata.
18Jonathane a re ho Davida: “Hosasane kgwedi e tla be e thwasitse, mme ho tla bonahala hore ha o yo, hobane setulo sa hao se tla be se se na motho. 19Ka letsatsi la boraro bosiyo ba hao bo tla bonahala haholo; jwale o tle o ye sebakeng seo o neng o ipatile ho sona mohla monene, o ipate kamora qubu ya majwe. 20Nna ke tla betsetsa metsu e meraro ka nqa ya moo o ipatileng teng, jwalokaha eka ke betsa pakane. 21Jwale ke tla roma moshanyana, ke re ho yena: ‘Tsamaya o yo batla metsu yane.’ Ha nka ka re ho moshanyana eo: ‘Bona, metsu e ka kwano ho wena, e nke!’ jwale wena Davida o tle, hobane ke hlapanya ka Morena ya phelang, kgotso e tla be e le teng, mme o ke ke wa tswa kotsi. 22Empa ha nka ka re ho moshanyana: ‘Bona, metsu e ka nqane ho wena!’ wena o tle o tsamaye, hobane ke Morena ya reng o tsamaye. 23Ha e le tabeng eo rona le wena re buileng ka yona, tseba hore Morena o pakeng tsa rona le wena kamehla yohle.”
24Davida a ya ipata naheng. Ha kgwedi e se e thwasitse kgosi ya dula, ya eja. 25Jwaloka kamehla, kgosi ya dula setulong sa yona se pela lebota. Jonathane a dula a shebane le kgosi, Abinere yena a dula lehlakoreng la Saule; feela setulong sa Davida ho ne ho se na motho. 26Empa ka letsatsi leo Saule a se ke a bua letho, hobane monahano wa hae o ne o re: “O hlahetswe ke ho hong, o sesila, ruri ha a ya hlweka.” 27Ka letsatsi la bobedi, e leng le hlahlamang la ho thwasa ha kgwedi, setulo sa Davida se ne se ntse se se na motho. Jwale Saule a re ho mora wa hae Jonathane: “Ke ka baka lang ha maobane le kajeno mora wa Jese a sa tla dijong?”
28Jonathane a araba Saule, a re: “Davida o ile a nqophella hore ke mo dumelle a ye Betlelehema, 29a re: ‘Ke a o rapela: Ako ntumelle ke tsamaye, hobane lelapa leso le tla etsa sehlabelo motseng, heso, mme moholwane o ntaetse hore ke be teng. Jwale haeba o fela o nthata, ke a o rapela: Ntumelle ke tsamaye, ke yo bona bana beso.’ Ke ka lebaka lena Davida a sa tlang dijong tsa kgosi.”
30Kgalefo ya Saule ya tlokomela Jonathane, a re ho yena: “Sekgaupane towe! O re ekaba ha ke tsebe hore o motswalle wa mora wa Jese! O a itlontlolla, o bile o tlontlolla le bofeela ba mmao! 31Ha feela mora enwa wa Jese a sa ntsane a phela lefatsheng mona, o ke ke wa ba wa mona bokgosi! Ka baka leo, roma maqosa a yo mo lata, a mo tlise kwano, hobane o tlameha ho shwa!”
32Jonathane a araba ntatae Saule, a re ho yena: “O bolaelwang? O entseng?” 33Saule a betsa Jonathane ka lerumo, a re o a mo hlaba. Jwale Jonathane a tseba hore ntatae o tiile, o batla ho bolaya Davida.
34Jonathane a ema, a tloha dijong a tlokoma ke kgalefo, mme ka letsatsi lena la bobedi la kgwedi a se ke a ja letho. O ne a utlwile bohloko ka baka la Davida, le kahobane ntatae o ne a mo tlontlolotse.
35Ka la hosasane Jonathane a ya naheng ka nako eo ba neng ba e ballane le Davida; a ya a ena le moshanyana. 36A re ho moshanyana eo wa hae: “Matha, o yo batla metsu eo ke tla e betsa!” Ha moshanyana a matha, Jonathane a betsetsa motsu ka nqane ho yena. 37Moshanyana a fihla moo Jonathane a betseditseng motsu teng. Jonathane a howeletsa moshanyana eo, a re: “Na motsu ha o ka nqela ho wena?” 38Jonathane a howeletsa moshanyana, a re: “Matha, o potlake, o se ke wa dieha!” Moshanyana wa Jonathane a bokella metsu, a kgutlela ho monga hae. 39Empa moshanyana yena o ne a sa tsebe letho; ke Jonathane le Davida feela ba neng ba tseba hore na hona ho bolelang. 40Jonathane a nea moshanyana dihlomo tsa hae, a ba a re ho yena: “Di jare, o di ise motseng.”
41Hoba moshanyana a tsamaye, Davida a ema, a tloha kamora qubu ya majwe, a itihela fatshe ka sefahleho, a obama kapele ho Jonathane hararo. Bo-Jonathane le Davida ba akana, ba llelana, ho fihlela sello sa Davida se feta sa Jonathane.
42Jwale Jonathane a re ho Davida: “Tsamaya ka kgotso, hobane rona ba babedi re ikanne ka lebitso la Morena, ra re: ‘Morena o tla ba le rona ba babedi, a be a be le ditloholo tsa rona kamehla yohle!’ ”
43Davida a ema, a itsamaela. Jonathane yena a kgutlela motseng.
