uSamuweli 1-23
uThixo uvumela uDavide ukuba oyise amaFilisti aze akhulule iKehila
1Kwaxelwa kuDavide, kwathiwa, Nanga amaFilisti ehlasela iKehila, ephanga amasimi. 2Wabuza uDavide kuYehova, wathi, Ndiye na ndiwabulale laa maFilisti? Wathi uYehova kuDavide, Hamba uye kuwaxabela amaFilisti, usindise iKehila. 3Athi amadoda kaDavide kuye, Nanku thina sisoyika, sikwaYuda apha; Singangena njani eKehila siye kuhlasela imikhosi yamaFilisti? 4uDavide waphinda wabuza kuYehova. uYehova wamphendula, wathi, Yihla uye eKehila; kuba ndiya kuwanikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho. 5uDavide namadoda akhe baya eKehila, bawaxabela amaFilisti, bayithimba imfuyo yawo, bawabulala kakhulu. Wabasindisa ke uDavide abantu baseKehila. 6Xa uAbhiyatare, unyana ka-Ahimeleki, wabalekayo ukulandela uDavide eKehila, wehla eneqhiya egxalabeni. 7Waxelelwa uSawule, ukuba uDavide ufikile eKehila. Wathi uSawule, uThixo umnikele esandleni sam; ngokuba nizalwa ngokungena emzini onamasango nezitrato. 8Wabahlanganisa uSawule bonke abantu ukuba balwe, behle baye eKehila, bangqinge uDavide namadoda akhe. 9Wazi uDavide ukuba uSawule ubemqhathe ngasese; Wathi kuAbhiyatare umbingeleli, Zisa iefodi apha. 10Wathi uDavide, Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, uvile ngenene umkhonzi wakho, ukuba uSawule ufuna ukuza eKehila, ukuba awonakalise umzi ngenxa yam. 11Amadoda aseKehila aya kundinikela na esandleni sakhe? Uya kuhla na uSawule njengoko evile umkhonzi wakho? Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, mxelele umkhonzi wakho. Wathi uYehova: Uya kuhla. 12Wathi uDavide, Amadoda aseKehila andinikela na mna namadoda am esandleni sikaSawule? Wathi uYehova, Baya kukunikela esandleni sakho. 13Emva koko wesuka uDavide namadoda akhe, abantu abamalunga namakhulu amathandathu, besuka eKehila, bahamba naphi na apho babesiya khona. Waxelelwa uSawule, ukuba uDavide ubalekile eKehila; woyisakala ke ukuphuma. 14uDavide wahlala entlango ezimboniselweni, wahlala entabeni eyintlango yeZifi. uSawule wamkhangela yonke imihla, kodwa uThixo akamnikela esandleni sakhe. 15Wabona uDavide ukuba uSawule uphume eza kufuna umphefumlo wakhe; uDavide wayesentlango yeZifi entshinyeleni yehlathi. 16Wesuka uYonatan, unyana kaSawule, waya kuDavide entshinyeleni yehlathi, wasomeleza isandla sakhe kuThixo. 17Wathi kuye, Musa ukoyika, ngokuba isandla sikaSawule ubawo asiyi kukufumana; Wena uya kuba ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli, mna ndibe nawe; ukanti uSawule uyise uyayazi le nto. 18Benza umnqophiso bobabini phambi koYehova, waza uDavide wahlala ehlathini, waza uYonatan waya endlwini yakhe. 19Benyuka abaseZifi, baya kuSawule eGibheha, bathi, uDavide akazizimeze kuthi na ezimboniselweni zehlathi, endulini yeHagila, ngasezantsi kweYesimon? 20Kaloku, kumkani, yihla ngokomnqweno wonke womphefumlo wakho; kwaye isabelo sethu siya kuba kukumnikela esandleni sokumkani. 21Wathi uSawule, uYehova makakusikelele; ngokuba undenzele inceba. 22Yiyani nilungise, nikhangele, nibone apho ahlala khona, nokuba ngubani na owambona khona; kuba ndixelelwe ukuba unobuqhophololo. 23Nikhangele, nibone zonke iindawo zokuzimela, aya kuzimela kuzo, nize nibuyele kum okunene; ndohamba nani; yaye ukuba ukho ehlabathini, ndiya kumkhangela phakathi kwawo onke amawaka akwaYuda. 24Bagqiba ke bamrhola uSawule, bamsa eZifi; uDavide namadoda akhe wayesentlango yeMahon, ezantsi kweYesmon. 25Wahamba uSawule namadoda akhe ukuya kumfuna. Kwaxelwa kuDavide, kwathiwa, Wehla ke waya encotsheni yengxondorha, wahlala entlango yeMahon. Weva uSawule, wamsukela uDavide entlango yeMahon. 26Wesuka uSawule waya kwelinye icala lentaba; waphuma uDavide namadoda akhe, baya nganeno kwentaba; ngokuba uSawule namadoda akhe babemrhawula uDavide namadoda akhe, ukuba bababambe. 27Weza umthunywa kuSawule, wathi, Akofa, yiza; ngokuba amaFilisti abelingenele ilizwe. 28Wabuya ke uSawule ekusukeleni uDavide, waya kuwakhawulela amaFilisti; ngoko ke, loo ndawo bayibiza ngokuba yiSelaama-Hlekoti. 29Wemka apho uDavide, wahlala ezinqabeni zase-Engedi.
