uSamuweli 1-14
1Kwathi ngamhla uthile, uYonatan unyana kaSawule wathi kumfana lowo uphatha iintonga zakhe, Hamba siye kumagorha amaFilistiya ngaphesheya. Akamxelela uyise. 2uSawule wayehleli ekupheleni kweGibheha phantsi komrharnate oseMigron; amadoda abenaye ngathi angamakhulu amathandathu amadoda; 3inguAhiya, unyana ka-Ahitubhi, umkhuluwa kaIkabhodi, unyana kaPinehasi, unyana kaEli, umbingeleli kaYehova waseShilo, enxibe ingubo engaphantsi. Babengazi abantu ukuba uYonatan uyile. 4Phakathi kwezikroba, abefuna ukuphumela kuzo uYonatan, aye kwizigidimi zamaFilisti, bekukho iliwa elibe neli nganeno; igama lomnye nguBosese, kwaye igama lomnye nguSene. 5Esinye isahlulo sasibheke entla, sibheka eMigmas, esinye sibheka ezantsi eGibheha.
Isicelo sikaYonatan
6Wathi uYonatan kumfana lowo uphatha iintonga zakhe, Hamba, siwele, siye kwaba balindi ngomzuzu. 7Wathi umphathi weentonga zakhe kuye, Konke okusentliziyweni yakho, kwenze; uyabona, ndinawe ngokwentliziyo yakho. 8Wathi uYonatan, Yabona, siya kuya kulaa madoda, sibonakale kuwo. 9Ukuba bathe kuthi, Yithini, Ngesifike kuwe; siya kuma khona endaweni yethu, singenyuki siye kubo. 10Ukuba bathi, Nyukani nize kuthi; siya kunyukela khona apho, ngokuba uYehova uwanikele esandleni sethu, yaye oku kuya kuba ngumqondiso kuthi. 11Babonakala bengamadoda amabini akumaFilistiya, athi amaFilisti, Yabona, amaHebhere ephuma emingxunyeni abezimele kuyo. 12Abaphendula abalindi ooYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe, bathi, Nyukani nize kuthi, sonibonisa. Wathi uYonatan kumfana lowo, Nyuka undilandele; ngokuba uYehova uwanikele esandleni soonyana bakaSirayeli. 13Wema uYonatan, ekhase izandla neenyawo, umphathi weentonga zakhe esemva kwakhe, waziphosa ngakuYonatan umphathi weentonga zakhe wambulala. 14Elokuqala waxabela uYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe, awaxabela amadoda angathi amashumi mabini, afuye iinkomo ezisisiqingatha sesango. 15Kwabakho ukunyikima phakathi komkhosi ezweni nakubo bonke abantu; 16Bakhangela abalindi bakaSawule, baseGibheha yakwaBhenjamin; kwaye khangela, isihlwele sanyibilika, kwaye baqhubeka bebethana. 17Wathi uSawule kumadoda abenaye, Fundani, nibone ukuba ngubani na ophume kuthi; Akubala, akakho uYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe. 18Wathi usawule kuAhiya, Zisa apha ityeya kaThixo; ngokuba ityeya kaThixo ibinoonyana bakaSirayeli ngaloo mini. 19Kwathi, esathetha uSawule kumbingeleli, saphuma isandi samaqela amaFilisti; wathi uSawule kumbingeleli, Buyisa isandla sakho. 20Wahlanganisana uSawule namadoda onke abenaye, eza kulwa; 21NamaHebhere abekumaFilisti ngaphambili, abenyuka esiya emkhosini, evela emazweni, aba koonyana bakaSirayeli, ababenoSawule noYonatan. 22Kwanamadoda onke akwaSirayeli, abezimele kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, eva ukuba amaFilisti asabile, awalandela ekulweni. 23uYehova wawasindisa ke amaSirayeli ngaloo mini; ukulwa kwada kwesa eBhetaven. 24Amadoda akwaSirayeli ayedidekile ngaloo mini, kuba uSawule wayebacebisile abantu, esithi, Uqalekisiwe odla inyama, kude kuhlwe, ndize ndiziphindezelele ezintshabeni zam. Ngoko ke abantu akubangakho namnye ukungcamla ukutya. 25Lonke ilizwe lafikelela ehlathini; kwaye kukho ubusi phezu komhlaba. 26Afika amadoda ehlathini, avuza ubusi; akasibeka isandla sakhe emlonyeni wakhe, ngokuba abantu bebesoyika isifungo. 27Akaphulaphula uYonatan ekucebisaneni kukayise ebantwini; ke ngoko, wathabatha incam yentonga awayeyibambe, wayicinezela endlwini yeenyosi, waza wabeka isandla sakhe emlonyeni; kwaye amehlo akhe akhazimla. 28Yaphendula enye indoda, yathi, Uyihlo ubathethe kakubi abantu, wathi, Uqalekisiwe odla isonka, namhlanje. Kwaye abantu babediniwe. 29Wathi uYonatan, Ubawo ulizisele isiphithiphithi ilizwe; Yabona, amehlo am aqabukile, ngokuba ndive intwana yezi busi. 30Kwenzeka njani ukuba namhlanje abantu badle amaxhoba eentshaba zabo baze bawafumane ngesisa? ngokuba amaFilisti ayengabulawanga kangako? 31Ngaloo mini bawaxabela amaFilisti, ukusuka eMigmas ukuya eAyalon, yaye abantu babediniwe. 32Baphaphatheka abantu emaxhobeni, bathabatha impahla emfutshane, neenkomo, namathole eenkomo, baxhela, badla negazi; 33Waxelelwa uSawule, kwathiwa, Uyabona, abantu bayona kuYehova ngokudla igazi; Wathi, Nikreqile; ndiphose ilitye elikhulu namhlanje. 34Wathi uSawule, Yiyani phakathi kwabantu, uthi kubo, Ziziseni kum elowo inkomo yakhe nomhlambi wakhe, nixhelele apha, nidle; ningoni kuYehova ngokudla igazi. Bonke abantu bazisa elowo iinkomo zakhe ngobo busuku, baxhelela khona. 35uSawule wamakhela uYehova isibingelelo; sisibingelelo sokuqala awasakhela sona uYehova. 36Wathi uSawule, Masiwasukele amaFilisti ebusuku, siwaphange kude kube ngomso, kungashiyi namnye kuwo. Bathi ke bona, Yenzani okulungileyo emehlweni enu. Wathi umbingeleli, Masisondele kuThixo. 37uSawule wabuza kuThixo, esithi, Ndibaleke ndingene na kumaFilisti? wowanikela na esandleni samaSirayeli? Kodwa ngaloo mini akazange amphendule. 38Wathi uSawule, Yizani apha, nonke nina zibonda zabantu, nive, nibone ukuba siyintoni na esi sono namhlanje? 39Kuba eneneni ngoYehova ophilayo okhululayo uSirayeli, ukuba kuthe kwenzeka kuYonatan unyana wam, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kufa. Kodwa phakathi kwabantu bonke akubangakho namnye umphendulayo. 40Wathi kumaSirayeli onke, Yimani ngapha, mna noYonatan unyana wam, sibe ngelinye icala. Bathi abantu kuSawule, Yenza okulungileyo emehlweni akho. 41Wathi uSawule kuYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, Yenza amaqashiso. uSawule noYonatan babanjwa, kodwa amadoda asaba. 42Wathi uSawule, Yenzani iqashiso phakathi kwam noYonatan unyana wam. Wabanjwa ke uYonatan. 43Wathi uSawule kuYonatan, Ndixelele, yintoni na le nto uyenzileyo? uYonatan wamxelela, wathi, Ndive intwana yobusi ngencam yentonga endiyibambe ngesandla, nanku ndiya kufa. 44Waphendula uSawule wathi, uThixo makenjenje, aqokele ukwenjenje; inene, uya kufa, Yonatan. 45Bathi abantu kuSawule, Afe na uYonatan, owenze ngolo hlobo amaSirayeli? Ehleli nje uYehova, akuyi kuwa nonwele lwentloko yakhe emhlabeni; ngokuba usebenzisene noThixo namhlanje. Bamsindisa abantu uYonatan, akafa. 46Wenyuka uSawule, wawalandela amaFilisti; amaFilisti aya emakhayeni awo. 47uSawule wabuthabatha ubukumkani bakwaSirayeli waza walwa nazo zonke iintshaba zakhe ezazivela macala onke, walwa noMowabhi noonyana baka-Amoni noEdom nookumkani baseTsobha namaFilisti; kwaye naphi na apho wayejika wayesoyikisa. 48Wahlanganisa umkhosi, wawaxabela ama-Amaleki, wawahlangula amaSirayeli esandleni sabo babewatshutshisa; 49Oonyana bakaSawule nguYonatan, noYeshvi, noMalekishuwa; ngawo la amagama eentombi zakhe zombini; igama lowamazibulo nguMerabhe, igama lowemnci nguMikale; 50Igama lomkaSawule belinguAkinoma, intombi ka-Ahimahatse; igama lomthetheli-mkhosi belinguAbhinere, unyana kaNere, uyisekazi kaSawule. 51Uyise kaSawule ubenguKishe; uNere, uyise ka-Abhinere, wayengunyana ka-Abhiyeli. 52Kwaye kukho imfazwe enzima kumaFilisti yonke imihla kaSawule; yaye xa uSawule wabona indoda eyomeleleyo okanye indoda elikroti, wayizisa kuye.
