uSamuweli 1-18
uDavide kunye uYonatan ukhonkxiwe yedwa, uSawule akamvumeli uDavide ukuba abuye
1Kwathi, akugqiba ukuthetha noSawule, umoya kaYonatan wanamathela entliziyweni kaDavide; uYonatan wamthanda njengokuzithanda kwakhe. 2uSawule wamthabatha ngaloo mini, akamvumela ukuba abuyele endlwini kayise. 3Benza umnqophiso ooYonatan noDavide, ngokumthanda kwakhe njengoko ebezithanda. 4uYonatan wayihluba ingubo yokwaleka abenayo, wayinika uDavide, neengubo zakhe zokulwa, kwesa ekreleni lakhe, kwesa esingxotyeni sakhe, kwesa embhinqweni wakhe. 5Waphuma uDavide, waya apho wathunywa khona nguSawule, wenza ngengqiqo; uSawule wamenza umphathi wamadoda okulwa. Wakholeka emehlweni abantu bonke, nasemehlweni abakhonzi bakaSawule. 6Ekufikeni kwabo, xa uDavide wabuyayo ekuxabeleni umFilisti, abafazi beza bevela kuzo zonke izixeko zakwaSirayeli, bevuma ingoma yaye bengqungqa ukuya kuhlangabeza uKumkani uSawule ngamagubu ngovuyo nangeempahla zokuvuma. 7Abafazi baphendulana, babizana, bathi, uSawule ubulele amawaka akhe, uDavide ubulele amashumi akhe amawaka. 8Wavutha kunene ngumsindo uSawule; uthi, uDavide bamnika ishumi lamawaka, kodwa bandinika iwaka lodwa; kwaye yintoni anokuyizuza ngaphezu korhulumente? 9uSawule waqhubeka ekhangele kuDavide ukususela loo mini. 10Ngengomso umoya ombi kaThixo wamfikela uSawule, waprofeta endlwini; Wawangawangisa ngesandla uDavide njengokwangaphambili; intshuntshe isesandleni sikaSawule. 11uSawule wabinza ngentshuntshe; ngokuba wathi, Ndiya kumbethelela eludongeni uDavide. uDavide wamshiya kwada kwakabini. 12uSawule wamoyika uDavide, ngokuba uYehova ubenaye, wamshiya uSawule. 13Ngenxa yoko uSawule wamsusa kuye, wammisa waba ngumthetheli wewaka; Waphuma wakhawuleza waya ebantwini. 14uDavide wenza ngengqiqo kuzo zonke iindlela zakhe; uYehova waba naye. 15Ngoko ke, xa uSawule wabonayo ukuba wayesenza ngobulumko kakhulu, wamoyika. 16Ke onke amaSirayeli namaYuda ebemthanda uDavide, ngokuba ebengena ephuma phambi kwawo. 17Wathi uSawule kuDavide, Yabona, uMerabha, intombi yam enkulu, ndiya kunika ibe ngumkakho; kodwa yibani nesibindi ngenxa yam, nilwe iimfazwe zikaYehova ngokuba wathi uSawule, Masingalwi isandla sam kuye, masiye kuye izandla zamaFilisti. 18Wathi uDavide kuSawule, Ndingubani na? Buyintoni na ubomi bam, nemizalwane kabawo kwaSirayeli, ukuba ndibe ngumyeni kukumkani? 19Kodwa ngexesha uMerabhe intombi kaSawule eya kunikelwa kuDavide, wanikwa uAdriyeli waseMehola, ukuba abe ngumfazi wakhe. 20uMikali, intombi kaSawule, ubemthanda uDavide; 21Wathi uSawule, Ndiya kumnika yona ibe ngumgibe kuye, sibe phezu kwakhe isandla samaFilisti. Wathi uSawule kuDavide, Yena uya kuba ngumyeni kum namhla kwenye kuzo zombini. 22uSawule wabawisela abakhonzi bakhe umthetho, wathi, Thethani kuDavide ngasese, nithi, Yabona, ukumkani ukunanzile, nabakhonzi bakhe bonke bayakuthanda; kaloku yiba ngumyeni kukumkani. 23Bawathetha abakhonzi bakaSawule loo mazwi, ephulaphule uDavide. Wathi uDavide, Yinto encinane na le ukuba ube ngumyeni kukumkani; mna kuthiwa ndingomncinane? 24Bamxelela abakhonzi bakaSawule, besithi, uDavide uthe. 25Wathi uSawule, Yiyani kuDavide, nithi, Ukumkani akabunqweneli ubukumkani; lilikhulu leemfele zamaFilisti, ukuze aziphindezelele kubakhonzi bokumkani. Kodwa uSawule wayezimisele ukumyeka uDavide abulawe ngamaFilistiya. 26Abakhonzi bakhe bamxelela uDavide loo mazwi; uDavide wakuvuyela ukuba ngumyeni kukumkani, zibe zingekapheli iintsuku. 27Waphuma ke uDavide, wahamba, yena namadoda akhe, wabulala kumaFilisti amakhulu amabini amadoda; uDavide wazizisa iintsuba zabo, bamxelela ukumkani zonke iindaba ezo, ukuze abe ngumyeni kukumkani. uSawule wamnika ke uMikali intombi yakhe, yangumkakhe. 28Wakubona uSawule, wakwazi ukuba uYehova ebenoDavide, nokuba uMikali, intombi kaSawule, ubemthanda. 29uSawule wamoyika okunye uDavide; yaye uSawule waba lutshaba lukaDavide kuyo yonke indawo. 30Zandula ke iinkosana zamaFilisti zemka, yaye emva kokuba zihambile, uDavide waqhubeka esenza ngengqiqo ngaphezu kwabo bonke abakhonzi bakaSawule; ukuze igama lakhe libe likhulu.
