Asi zvino havana kuuraya vaFirisitia vazhinji.” 31Nomusi uyo vakauraya vaFirisitia kubva paMikimashi kusvikira paAjaroni; vanhu vakaziya kwazvo. 32Vanhu vakamhanyira zvakapambwa, vakatora makwai nemombe, nemhuru, vakazviurayira pasi, vanhu vakazvidya pamwechete neropa razvo. 33Zvino vakaudza Sauro, vakati, “Tarirai, vanhu vanotadzira Jehovha, nokuti vanodya pamwechete neropa.” Akati, “Makaita nokusatendeka; ndikungurusirei pano ibwe guru nhasi.” 34Zvino Sauro akati, “Pararirai pakati pavanhu, muti kwavari, ‘Mumwe nomumwe ngaauye kwandiri nenzombe yake, mumwe nomumwe negwai rake, azviurayire pano, adye murege kutadzira Jehovha muchidya pamwechete neropa.’ ” Zvino vanhu vose vakauya usiku uhwo mumwe nomumwe nenzombe yake, vakadziurayirapo. 35Sauro akavakira Jehovha aritari; iyo aritari ndiyo yokutanga yaakavakira Jehovha.
36Zvino Sauro akati, “Ngatiburuke, titevere vaFirisitia usiku, tivapambare kusvikira kwoedza, tirege kusiya munhu mumwe kwavari.” Ivo vakati, “Itai henyu sezvamunoda.” Ipapo mupristi akati “Ngatiswedere kuna Mwari pano.” 37Sauro akabvunza Mwari, akati, “Ndoburuka, nditevere vaFirisitia here? Muchavaisa mumaoko avaIsiraeri here?” Asi haana kumupindura musi iwoyo. 38Sauro akati, “Swederai pano, imi vakuru vose vavanhu, muzive nokuona kuti chivi ichi chakaitwa nhasi ndecheiko?
39“Nokuti naJehovha mupenyu, iye unoponesa Isiraeri, kunyange zviri kuna Jonatani mwanakomana wangu, achafanira kufa zvirokwazvo.” Asi kwakanga kusino munhu pakati pavanhu vose wakamupindura. 40Zvino akati kuvaIsiraeri vose, “Imi mirai kurutivi rumwe, neni naJonatani mwanakomana wangu tichamira kuno rumwe rutivi.” Vanhu vakati kuna Sauro, “Itai henyu sezvamunoda.”
41Zvino Sauro akati kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, “Ratidzai zvakarurama.” Zvino Jonatani naSauro vakabatwa nemijenya, asi vanhu vakapukunyuka havo. 42Zvino Sauro akati kuvaIsiraeri vose, “Kandai mijenya pakati pangu naJonatani mwanakomana wangu.” Jonatani akabatwa. 43Zvino Sauro akati kuna Jonatani, “Ndiudze chawaita.” Jonatani akamuudza, akati, “Ndakaravira hangu zviuchi nomuromo wetsvimbo yandakanga ndakabata muruoko rwangu; zvino ndinofanira kufa hangu.”
44Sauro akati, “Mwari ngaandirove, arambe achidaro, nokuti zvirokwazvo unofanira kufa, Jonatani.” 45Zvino vanhu vakati kuna Sauro, “Jonatani ungafa seiko, iye wakaponesa vaIsiraeri nokuponesa kukuru uku? Haisva! NaJehovha mupenyu, ruvhudzi rumwe rwomusoro wake harungawiri pasi, nokutiwakabata pamwechete naMwari nhasi.” Naizvozvo vanhu vakadzikinura Jonatani, akasafa.
