Zvino varume veIsraeri vakaziya pazuva iro, nokuti Sauro akanga asunga vanhu nemhiko achiti, “Ngaatukwe munhu anodya zvokudya kusati kwadoka, ndisati ndazvitsivira vavengi vangu!” Saka hakuna munhu pavarwi akaravira chokudya. Hondo yose yakapinda musango, uye imomo maiva nouchi hwapasi. Vakati vapinda musango, vakaona uchi huchiyerera, asi hakuna akaisa ruoko rwake kumuromo wake, nokuti vakanga vachitya mhiko. Asi Jonatani akanga asina kunzwa kuti baba vake vakanga vasunga vanhu nemhiko, saka akatambanudza muromo wetsvimbo yakanga iri muruoko rwake akainyika muzinga rouchi. Akasimudzira ruoko rwake kumuromo wake, meso ake akabengenuka. Ipapo mumwe wavarwi akati kwaari, “Baba vako vasunga varwi nemhiko vachiti, ‘Ngaatukwe munhu upi zvake anodya zvokudya nhasi!’ Ndokusaka vanhu voziya.” Jonatani akati, “Baba vangu vanetsa nyika. Tarirai muone kuzaruka kwaita meso angu pandaravira chidimbu chouchi uhu. Zvaiva nani sei dai vanhu vanga vadya nhasi zvimwe zvezvakapambwa zvavakatora kuvavengi vavo. Kuurayiwa kwavaFiristia hakwaizova kukuru here?” Musi iwoyo, shure kwokunge vaIsraeri vauraya vaFiristia kubva paMikimashi kusvika kuAijaroni, vakaneta kwazvo. Vakamhanyira zvakapambwa, uye vakatora makwai, mombe nemhuru, vakazviuraya pasi ipapo uye vakazvidya, pamwe chete neropa razvo. Ipapo mumwe akati kuna Sauro, “Tarirai vanhu vari kutadzira Jehovha nokudya nyama ine ropa.” Iye akati, “Maputsa kutenda. Kungurutsirai dombo guru kuno uku izvozvi.” Ipapo akati, “Endai pakati pavanhu mugovataurira kuti, ‘Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaauye nemombe yake, namakwai uye muzviurayire pano muzvidye. Musatadzira Jehovha muchidya nyama ichine ropa rayo.’ ” Saka munhu wose akauya nenzombe yake usiku ihwohwo akaiuraya ipapo. Ipapo Sauro akavakira Jehovha aritari; yakanga iri nguva yake yokutanga kuita izvi. Sauro akati, “Ngatiburukei zasi titevere vaFiristia usiku tindovaparadza kusvikira mambakwedza, uye tirege kusiya kana mumwe wavo ari mupenyu.” Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Itai zvamunoona kuti zvakanakisisa kwamuri.” Asi muprista akati, “Ngatibvunzei Mwari pano.” Saka Sauro akabvunza Mwari akati, “Ndoburuka nditevere vaFiristia here? Muchavaisa mumaoko avaIsraeri here?” Asi Mwari haana kumupindura musi iwoyo. Naizvozvo Sauro akati, “Uyai pano, imi mose vatungamiri vehondo, Ngatitsvakei chivi chaitwa nhasi. Zvirokwazvo naJehovha, iye akanunura upenyu hwavaIsraeri, kunyange dai ari Jonatani mwanakomana wangu, anofanira kufa.” Asi hapana kana mumwe wavarume akataura shoko. Ipapo Sauro akati kuvaIsraeri vose, “Imi mirai uko; ini naJonatani mwanakomana wangu tichamira kuno uku.” Vanhu vakapindura vakati, “Itai zvamunoona kuti zvakanakisisa kwamuri.” Ipapo Sauro akanyengetera kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri akati, “Ndipeiwo mhinduro yakarurama.” Ipapo Jonatani naSauro vakabatwa nomujenya, vanhu vakawanikwa vasina mhosva. Sauro akati, “Kandai mujenya pakati pangu nomwanakomana wangu Jonatani.” Ipapo Jonatani akabatwa. Ipapo Sauro akati kuna Jonatani, “Ndiudze zvawaita.” Saka Jonatani akati kwaari, “Ndangoravira uchi ushoma nomuromo wetsvimbo yangu. Zvino ndinofanira kufa here?” Sauro akati, “Mwari ngaandirove, ngaandirove kwazvo, kana iwe Jonatani ukasafa.” Asi vanhu vakati kuna Sauro, “Jonatani angafanira kufa, iye akaponesa vaIsraeri nokuponesa kukuru kuya? Kwete! Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu, hakuna kana bvudzi romusoro wake richawira pasi, nokuti aita izvi nhasi achibatsirwa naMwari.” Saka vanhu vakanunura Jonatani, uye haana kuurayiwa. Ipapo Sauro akarega kutevera vaFiristia, uye vakadzokera kunyika yavo. Shure kwokugadzwa kwaSauro ushe pamusoro pavaIsraeri, akarwa navavengi vavo kumativi ose, vaiti: Moabhu, vaAmoni, Edhomu, madzimambo eZobha, navaFiristia. Kwose kwaakatendeukira, akavatambudza. Akarwa noumhare akakunda vaAmereki, akadzikinura vaIsraeri kubva mumaoko avaya vakanga vavapamba. Vanakomana vaSauro vaiva Jonatani, Ishivhi naMarikishua. Zita romwanasikana wake wedangwe rainzi Merabhi, uye romuduku rainzi Mikari. Zita romukadzi wake rainzi Ahinoami, mwanasikana waAhimaazi.

Pamazuva ose aSauro pakanga pane hondo huru kwazvo navaFiristia, uye Sauro aiti kana akaona munhu ane simba uye akashinga, aimutora omuita murwi wake.

Zvino varume vaIsiraeri vakaziya nomusi uyo, asi Sauro wakapikira vanhu, akati, “Ani nani unodya zvokudya kusvikira madekwana, kusvikira ndatsivira vavengi vangu, ngaatukwe.” Naizvozvo hakuna munhu wakaravira zvokudya. Zvino vanhu vose vakasvika padondo, vakawana uchi huripo pasi. Vanhu vakati vasvika padondo, vakawana uchi hoyerera pasi, asi hakuna munhu wakaisa ruoko rwake kumuromo wake, nokuti vanhu vakatya kupika kwaSauro. Asi Jonatani wakanga asina kunzwa baba vake vachiraira vanhu nokupika kwavo; naizvozvo akatambanudza muromo wetsvimbo yake, yakanga iri muruoko rwake, akainyika muzinga rouchi, akaisa ruoko rwake kumuromo wake, meso ake akasvinudzwa. Ipapo mumwe wavanhu akapindura, akati, “Baba vako vakaraira vanhu kwazvo nokupika vachiti, ‘Ani nani unodya zvokudya nhasi ngaatukwe.’ ” Asi vanhu vakanga vaziya. Zvino Jonatani akati, “Baba vangu vanetsa nyika. Chionai henyu, meso angu asvinudzwa seiko, nokuti ndaravira uchi uhwu; ndoda kana vanhu vakanga vatenderwa kudya zvavakanga vapamba kuvavengi vavo! Asi zvino havana kuuraya vaFirisitia vazhinji.” Nomusi uyo vakauraya vaFirisitia kubva paMikimashi kusvikira paAjaroni; vanhu vakaziya kwazvo. Vanhu vakamhanyira zvakapambwa, vakatora makwai nemombe, nemhuru, vakazviurayira pasi, vanhu vakazvidya pamwechete neropa razvo. Zvino vakaudza Sauro, vakati, “Tarirai, vanhu vanotadzira Jehovha, nokuti vanodya pamwechete neropa.” Akati, “Makaita nokusatendeka; ndikungurusirei pano ibwe guru nhasi.” Zvino 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. Sauro akavakira Jehovha aritari; iyo aritari ndiyo yokutanga yaakavakira Jehovha. Zvino 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.” Sauro akabvunza Mwari, akati, “Ndoburuka, nditevere vaFirisitia here? Muchavaisa mumaoko avaIsiraeri here?” Asi haana kumupindura musi iwoyo. Sauro akati, “Swederai pano, imi vakuru vose vavanhu, muzive nokuona kuti chivi ichi chakaitwa nhasi ndecheiko? “Nokuti naJehovha mupenyu, iye unoponesa Isiraeri, kunyange zviri kuna Jonatani mwanakomana wangu, achafanira kufa zvirokwazvo.” Asi kwakanga kusino munhu pakati pavanhu vose wakamupindura. Zvino akati kuvaIsiraeri vose, “Imi mirai kurutivi rumwe, neni naJonatani mwanakomana wangu tichamira kuno rumwe rutivi.” Vanhu vakati kuna Sauro, “Itai henyu sezvamunoda.” Zvino Sauro akati kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, “Ratidzai zvakarurama.” Zvino Jonatani naSauro vakabatwa nemijenya, asi vanhu vakapukunyuka havo. Zvino Sauro akati kuvaIsiraeri vose, “Kandai mijenya pakati pangu naJonatani mwanakomana wangu.” Jonatani akabatwa. Zvino Sauro akati kuna Jonatani, “Ndiudze chawaita.” Jonatani akamuudza, akati, “Ndakaravira hangu zviuchi nomuromo wetsvimbo yandakanga ndakabata muruoko rwangu; zvino ndinofanira kufa hangu.” Sauro akati, “Mwari ngaandirove, arambe achidaro, nokuti zvirokwazvo unofanira kufa, Jonatani.” Zvino 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. Zvino Sauro akarega kutevera vaFirisitia, vaFirisitia vakaenda kunyika yavo. Zvino Sauro wakati agadzwa ushe hwaIsiraeri, akarwa navavengi vake vose kunhivi dzose, navaMoabhu, navana vaAmoni, navaEdhomu, namadzimambo eZoba, navaFirisitia; pose paakaenda wakakunda.

VaIsiraeri vose varume vakasuruvara kwazvo musi iwoyo nokuti Sauro akanga apikira vanhu mhiko achiti, “Ngaawirwe norushambwa munhu anenge angowana chaanodya zuva risati radoka ini ndisati ndatsividza vavengi vangu.” Saka hakuna kana munhu akaisa chinhu mukanwa.

Asi hakuna kana munhu akahunomborera mukanwa kuhudya nokuti vanhu vaitya mhiko iya. Asi Jonatani haana kunge anzwa kuti baba vake vakanga vatsidzira vanhu nemhiko. Akasveerera nomudonzvo waaiva nawo mumaoko, ndokunyika kwokupedzesera kwawo muzinga rouchi, ndokuhunomborera mukanwa akabva abengenuka meso. Asi mumwe wavo akamuti, “Baba venyu vanyatsosimbisisa kwazvo kutsidzira vanhu nemhiko vachiti, ‘Ngaawirwe norushambwa munhu anenge angowana chaanodya nhasi uno.’ ” Vanhu vakaziya nenzara. Jonatani ndokuti, “Inga baba vangu vapa vanhu mutoro chaiwo. Asi ini tarisai muoneka, ndatobengenuka meso nokuravira kwandangoita tuuchi utwu. Ko kutozoti dai nhasi vanhu vanga vanyatsodya zvavo zvavapamba kuvavengi vavo, zvavatoita zvavo zvokuwanikidza kudai iye zvino vaFirisitia vangadai vasina kunge vatoparadzwa zvakanyanya here?” Musi iwoyo vakarakatisa vaFirisitia kubvira kuMikimashi kudzamara kuAijaroni, asi vanhu vakaziya nenzara. Vanhu vakawirirana kutora zvakanga zvapambwa. Vakatora hwai nemombe nemhuru vachidziurayira pose pose pasi, vakadya nyama isina kusinzwa ropa. Vamwe vakataurira Sauro kuti, “Zvamunoonaka, vanhu vari kutadzira Tenzi nokudya nyama isina kusinzwa ropa.” Iye ndokuti, “Ndokusatendekaka ikoko. Chikungurutsirai zidombo guru pano pandiri.” Sauro akabvawo ati, “Chipararirai nomuvanhu muvati, ‘Munhu wose ngaauye nemombe yake kana kuti hwai yake kuno kwandiri mudzibayire pano, mozodya zvenyu murege kutadzira Tenzi nokudya nyama isina kusinzwa ropa.’ ” Usiku ihwohwo munhu wose akaendako nemombe yake vakadziurayira ikoko. Sauro akavakira Tenzi atari. Ndiyo atari yake yokutanga kuvakirawo Tenzi. Sauro akazoti, “Ngatirondei vaFirisitia nousiku huno, tivapambe, tirege kusiya kana nomumwe wavo ari mupenyu.” Ivo vakati, “Itai zvenyu zvamunenge mada.” Asi mupristi akati, “Ngatimbonzwai kuna Mwari.” Sauro akabvunza kuna Mwari kuti, “Ndoronda here vaFirisitia kana kuti kwete?

Chokwadi ndinopika naTenzi mupenyu, iye mununuri weIsiraeri, kunyange zvazvo akava Jonatani mwana wangu chaiye, anotopafa chete.” Asi pavanhu vose ivavo hapana nomumwe akamupindura chinhu. Sauro akati kuvaIsiraeri vose, “Imi mirai uku, ini nomwana wangu Jonatani timirewo uku.” Vanhu vakati kuna Sauro, “Itai zvamunenge muchida.” Naizvozvo Sauro akati kuna Tenzi Mwari wavaIsiraeri, “Ndiisireiwo pachena zvechokwadi zvacho.” Jonatani naiye Sauro vakabva vabatwa nechin'ange chikasiya vamwe vose.

Sauro akati kuna Jonatani, “Ndiudze zvawaita?” Jonatani akamuti, “Ndangoti nomborei tuuchi nomuromo wetsvimbo yangu. Ndinofanira zvangu kufa.” Sauro akati, “Mwari ngaandione kana iwe Jonatani ukarega kufa!” Asi vanhu vakarambira Sauro vachiti, “Munoti Jonatani afe? Anunura Isiraeri zvakakura zvikadai!
