1Wabaleka uDavide eNayoti ngaseRama, weza, wathi kuYonatan, Ndenze ntoni na? yintoni ingxaki yam Siyini na isono sam phambi koyihlo, ukuba ufuna ukundibulala? 2Wathi kuye, Hayi, Thixo; aniyi kufa; yabona, ubawo akazange enze nantoni na enkulu, nokuba incinci, amazise; kanti ubawo ungandifihlela lo mcimbi? Akunjalo. 3Wabuya wafunga uDavide, esithi, Uyihlo uyazi okunene, ngokuba ndinenceba kuwe; Wathi, Makangazi uYonatan, hleze abe buhlungu; kodwa eneneni ngoYehova ophilayo nomphefumlo wakho uphila, linyathelo elinye kuphela phakathi kwam nokufa. 4Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Yonke into oyibizayo umphefumlo wakho, ndoyenza kuwe. 5Wathi uDavide kuYonatan, Yabona, iya kuthwasa inyanga ngomso; ndindulule ndiye kuzifihla endle, kude kuhlwe ngomhla wesithathu. 6Ukuba uyihlo uthe wandifuna, wothi wena, Ucele wandibongoza uDavide ukuba ndihambe, ndibaleke ndiye eBhetelehem kowabo; ngokuba kukho umbingelelo womnyaka wemizalwane yonke; 7Ukuba uthe, Kulungile; Umkhonzi wakho lo uya kuba seluxolweni; ke ukuba uthe wavutha kakhulu ngumsindo, yazi ukuba ucebe ububi. 8Ngoko ke, menzele inceba umkhonzi wakho; ngokuba umngenise emnqophisweni kaYehova umkhonzi wakho lo nawe; ngoba ungathini ukundisa kuyihlo? 9Wathi uYonatan, Makube lee kuwe; ukuba ndibe ndibazi ububi acinga ukukwehlela ubawo, ndinge ndixelelwe na? 10Wathi uDavide kuYonatan, Ngubani na oya kundixelela ezi zinto? okanye kuthekani ukuba uyihlo ukuphendule ngelizwi elikhulu? 11Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Hamba siye ezweni. Baphuma bobabini baya emaphandleni. 12Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, ukuba ndithe ndambiza ubawo ngomso nokuba ngowesithathu umhla, ndaza ndabona ukuba ulungile uDavide, andathumela kuwe ukuba ndikubonise oko; 13Wenjenjalo uYehova kuYonatan, ongezelele; ukuba ubawo uthe wafuna ukunenza okubi, ndonazisa, ndinikhulule, nihambe ninoxolo; uYehova abe nawe, njengokuba ebenobawo. 14Aniyi kundenzela nceba uYehova ndisadla ubomi nje, ukuze ndingafi. 15Kodwa ubabalo lwakho aluyi kucima endlwini yam ngonaphakade; 16Wanqophisana ke uYonatan nendlu kaDavide, esithi, uYehova makawanikele esandleni seentshaba zikaDavide. 17Waphinda uYonatan ukumfungela uDavide ngokumthanda kwakhe, ngokuba ebemthanda njengomphefumlo wakhe. 18Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Ngomso iya kuphuma inyanga, usweleke, ngokuba isihlalo sakho siya kuba sodwa. 19Ukuba nithe nahlala iintsuku ezintathu, khawulezani nihle, nize kuloo ndawo ubuzimele kuyo, lisaqhubeka elo lizwi, uhlale ngasetyeni le-esile; 20Ndiza kutolela ecaleni kwalo iintolo zibe ntathu, ngokungathi ndizidubula ngaxeshanye. 21Yabona, ndiya kuthuma umfana, wathi, Hamba uye kuzifuna iintolo. Ukuba ndithe kwinkwenkwe, Nanzo iintolo zingaphaya kwakho, zithabathe; uze ke, ngokuba uxolo lunawe, akukho ngozi; NgoYehova ophilileyo. 22Ke ukuba ndithe kwindodana leyo, Nanzo iintolo zingaphaya kwakho; hamba, ngokuba uYehova ukuthumile. 23Ke yona into esiyithethileyo mna nawe, yabona, uYehova uphakathi kwam nawe kude kuse ephakadeni. 24uDavide wamngcwabela entsimini, kwathi ekuphumeni kwenyanga, wahlala ukumkani ukuba adle ukudla. 25Ukumkani wahlala esihlalweni sakhe, njengokwangaphambili, esitulweni esingaseludongeni; 26Akathetha nto uSawule ngaloo mini, ngokuba wathi: “Uhlelwe yinto embi, akahlambulukanga; Ngokuqinisekileyo akacocekanga. 27Kwathi ngengomso, ngomhla wesibini wenyanga, ayaba namntu indawo kaDavide. Wathi uSawule kuYonatan unyana wakhe, Yini na ukuba angezanga kudla unyana kaYese izolo nanamhlanje? 28uYonatan wamphendula uSawule, wathi, uDavide ucele ngokunyamekileyo ukuba ndiye eBhetelehem; 29Wathi, Ndindulule, ngokuba kukho umbingelelo wemizalwane yakowethu ekhaya; wandiwisela umthetho ke umkhuluwa wam, wathi, Mandiye kubona abazalwana bam ngoko, ukuba ndibabalwe nguwe kutheni angezi etafileni yokumkani. 30uSawule wavutha ngumsindo kuYonatan, wathi kuye, Nyanandini wendoda engendawo, enenjubaqa, andazi na ukuba kutheni na ukunyula unyana kaYese ukuba abe ngumphangi wakho, nehlazo lokukreqa kukanyoko? 31Kuba yonke imihla unyana kaYese aya kudla ubomi ngayo emhlabeni, wena nobukumkani bakho akuyi kuqiniseka. Thumela ngoko, umzise kum, ngokuba inene uya kufa. 32uYonatan wamphendula uSawule uyise, wathi kuye, Yini na ukuba ubulawe? nzeni. 33uSawule wamjula ngomkhonto ukuba amgwaze; waqonda uYonatan ukuba uyise uceba ukumbulala uDavide. 34Wema uYonatan etafileni enomsindo omkhulu; ukanti ngomhla wesibini wenyanga leyo, akadla kudla, ngokuba ubebuhlungu ngenxa kaDavide, ngokuba ebemhlazisile uyise. 35Kwathi kusasa, uYonatan waya ezweni ngexesha elimisiweyo noDavide, nenkwenkwe. 36Wathi kunyana wakhe, Gidima, uzikhangele iintolo endizixunayo. Yabaleka inkwenkwe leyo, yadubula utolo ecaleni kwayo. 37Wafika umfana endaweni abedla kuyo uYonatan, uYonatan wambiza umfana emva kwakhe, wathi, Nalo ngaphaya kwakho utolo? 38Wamemeza uYonatan kumfana, wathi, Khawuleza, khawuleza, musa ukulibala. Unyana kaYonatan wathabatha iintolo, weza enkosini yakhe. 39Ke yena umntwana ubengazi nto; nguYonatan noDavide ababeyazi loo nto. 40uYonatan wamnika umpu wakhe unyana wakhe, wathi kuye, Hamba, ubasa kuwo umzi. 41Ekundulukeni kwenkwenkwe leyo, wema uDavide kwindawo engasemzantsi, yawa ngobuso yaza yaqubuda izihlandlo ezithathu; 42Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Hamba unoxolo, ngokuba safunga egameni likaYehova, sathi, uYehova makabe phakathi kwam nawe kude kuse ephakadeni, naphakathi koonyana bam noonyana bakho. Wemka uYonatan, wahamba, wangena uYonatan esixekweni.
