uSawule nendlela yakhe yokulawula
1uSawule ebelawula kwaSirayeli unyaka wamnye. 2uSawule wanyula amawaka amathathu amadoda kumaSirayeli; Amawaka amabini kubo anoSawule eMigmas ezintabeni zaseBheteli, iwaka libe noYonatan eGibheha yakwaBhenjamin; Abantu abaseleyo wababuyisela ezintenteni zabo. 3uYonatan wawuxabela umkhosi wamaFilisti owawuseGebha, aza eva amaFilisti. uSawule wavuthela ngesigodlo kulo lonke ilizwe, esithi, Waveni amaHebhere. 4Onke amaSirayeli eva ukuba uSawule uyoyisile umkhosi wamaFilisti, nokuba amaSirayeli angamasikizi kumaFilisti. Yaye abantu bahlanganisana ndawonye ukuba balandele uSawule ukuya eGiligali. 5AmaFilisti ahlanganisana ukuba alwe namaSirayeli, amashumi amathathu amawaka eenqwelo zokulwa, namawaka amathandathu abamahashe, namadoda amaninzi njengalawo asemazantsi elwandle; banduluka baza bamisa iinkampu zabo eMigemas ngasempuma yeBhete-afen. 6Akubona amadoda akwaSirayeli ukuba aswele (ngenxa yokuba abantu babebandezelekile), abantu bazifihla emiqolombeni nasemahlathini nasemaweni nasezindaweni eziphakamileyo nasemingxunyeni. 7Amanye amaHebhere awela iYordan esiya kwilizwe lakwaGadi naseGiliyadi. Ke yena uSawule, wayeseseGiligali, yaye bonke abantu babengcangcazela bemlandela. 8Walinda iintsuku zasixhenxe, ngokwexesha elimisiweyo likaSamuweli; ke uSamuweli akafikanga eGiligali; Baphalala abantu bemka kuye. 9Wathi uSawule, Zisani kum idini elinyukayo nemibingelelo yombulelo. Wenza idini elinyukayo. 10Kwathi, akugqiba ukulinyusa idini elinyukayo, nanko uSamuweli efika; Waphuma uSawule waya kumkhawulela, ukuba ambulise. 11Wathi uSamuweli, Wenza ntoni na? Wathi uSawule, Ngenxa enokuba ndibonile ukuba amadoda echithakele, endishiya, nawe ungezanga ngemihla emisiweyo, namaFilisti abehlanganisene eMigmas; 12Ndathi ke, AmaFilisti aya kundihlasela eGiligali, ndingathandazanga kuYehova; 13Wathi uSamuweli kuSawule, Wenze ngobudenge, akwawugcina umthetho kaYehova uThixo wakho owawuwisayo; ngokuba uYehova ebeya kubumisa ubukumkani bakho kwaSirayeli kude kuse ephakadeni. 14Kodwa ngoku, ubukumkani bakho abuyi kubakho; uYehova wakhangela indoda entliziyweni yayo, wayimisa uYehova ukuba ibe ngumlawuli wabantu bakhe, ngokuba engayigcinanga imithetho kaYehova. 15Wemka uSamuweli, wenyuka waya eGiligali, waya eGibheha ezweni lakwaBhenjamin. uSawule wawabala amadoda abenaye, ngathi kumakhulu amathandathu amadoda. 16uSawule, noYonatan unyana wakhe, namadoda abenabo, bahlala eGibheha yakwaBhenjamin, amaFilisti wona amise iintente eMigmas. 17Ababhuqi baya kuza bephuma kwiinkampu zamaFilisti bengamaqela amathathu, iqela elinye linyuke ngendlela yaseOfura kwilizwe laseShuwali. 18Esinye isihlwele sabheka endleleni yaseBhete-horon; 19Akwafunyanwa krele kulo lonke ilizwe lakwaSirayeli, ngokuba amaFilisti ebesithi, AmaHebhere makangazenzele makrele nemikhonto. 20Ehla onke amaSirayeli aya kumaFilisti, elowo walola isahlulo sakhe, neentolo zakhe, nezembe lakhe, nomsimelelo wakhe. 21Ke bona babenefayile yeenduku, yeentsimbi, neefolokhwe, nezamazembe, neyezinto zokulola. 22Ngemini yedabi bekungekho krele nantshuntshe esandleni samadoda onke abenoSawule noYonatan; kodwa kwakukho uSawule noYonatan unyana wakhe. 23Waza umkhosi wamaFilisti waqhubeka waya kwintlambo yaseMigmas.
