UDavide noMefibhoshete
1UDavide wathi: “Ngaba akusekho nampunde na iseleyo kumzi kaSawule? Ndifuna ukuyenzela inceba ngenxa kaJonatan. ”
2Kwakukho isicaka sakwaSawule apho, uZibha igama. Kwathiwa masiye phambi kokumkani. Wasibuza ukumkani sakufika wathi: “UnguZibha wena?”
Saphendula sathi: “Ewe, ndinguye umkhonzi wakho.”
3Uqhube wathi ukumkani: “Ngaba kusekho impunde ekhoyo endlwini kaSawule? Ndifuna ukubonakalisa inceba kaThixo kuyo.”
UZibha wathi kukumkani: “Ewe, kusekho unyana kaJonatan; nto nje ulimele iinyawo zombini. ”
4Ukumkani wathi kuye: “Uphi apho akhoyo?”
UZibha wathi kukumkani: “Uhlala kwaMakire, unyana ka-Amiyeli, eLodebhare.”
5Ke ukumkani uDavide wamsusa uMefibhoshete endlwini kaMakire unyana ka-Amiyeli eLodebhare.
6Akufika phambi kokumkani uDavide, uMefibhoshete unyana kaJonatan unyana kaSawule wathi guqaqa ngobuso, wakhahlela kukumkani. UDavide wathi: “Mefibhoshete!”
Yena wathi: “Ndim, mna sicaka sakho.”
7Uthe kuye uDavide: “Uze ungoyiki. Ndifuna ukukwenzela inceba ngenxa kayihlo uJonatan. Umhlaba kayihlo-mkhulu uSawule ndifuna ukuwubuyisela kuwe, yaye ndifuna udle etafileni yam lonke ixesha.”
8Ubuye wakhahlela uMefibhoshete, wathi: “Mhlekazi, uyintoni na umkhonzi wakho ukuba uthathe ingqalelo ngenja efileyo enjengam nje?”
9Ukumkani wabiza uZibha isicaka sikaSawule, wathi kuye: “Yonke into yakwaSawule inkosi yakho ndiyinika umzukulwana wakhe uMefibhoshete. 10Nguwe ke kunye noonyana bakho nezicaka zakwakho abaza kusebenza kulaa mhlaba wenkosi yakho uSawule, nilimele usapho lwakhe, nilondle ngaloo ndlela. Yena ke uMefibhoshete, umzukulwana wenkosi yakho, wohlala esitya isonka etafileni yam.” Wayeneshumi elinesihlanu loonyana uZibha, kunye namashumi amabini ezicaka.
11UZibha wathi kukumkani: “Isicaka sakho siya kukwenza konke umhlekazi inkosi yam asiyalela isicaka sakhe ukuba sikwenze.” Ke uMefibhoshete wayesitya etafileni kaDavide ngokungathi ungomnye woonyana bakakumkani. 12Wayenomntwana oyinkwenkwe uMefibhoshete, ogama linguMika. Bonke abantu ababehlala kwaZibha baba zizicaka zikaMefibhoshete. 13Yena uMefibhoshete wayehlala eJerusalem, esitya njalo kwitafile kakumkani. Wayelimele kuzo zombini iinyawo.
