1 uSamuweli 13:7-14 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
NamaHeberu ayewelile iJordani ukuya ezweni lakwaGadi nakwelakwaGileyadi; kepha uSawule wayeseseGiligali; abantu bonke bamlandela bethuthumela. Wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa njengesikhathi esimisiwe nguSamuweli, kepha uSamuweli akafikanga eGiligali; abantu bahlakazeka kuye. USawule wayesethi: “Lethani kimi umnikelo wokushiswa neminikelo yokuthula.” Wanikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa. Kwathi eseqedile ukunikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa, bheka, uSamuweli wafika; uSawule waphuma ukumhlangabeza ukuba ambingelele. USamuweli wathi: “Wenzeni na?” USawule wathi: “Njengokuba ngabona ukuthi abantu bahlakazekile kimi, nokuthi awufikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, nokuthi amaFilisti abuthene eMikimashi, ngathi: ‘Manje amaFilisti ayakwehlela kimi eGiligali ngingakhulekanga;’ ngase ngiziphoqa, nganikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa.” USamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Wenze ngobuwula, awugcinanga umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo, ngokuba uJehova ubeseyakuqinisa umbuso wakho kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade. Kepha manje umbuso wakho awuyikuqhubeka; uJehova usezifunele umuntu ngokwenhliziyo yakhe; uJehova ummisile abe ngumholi wabantu bakhe, ngokuba ungagcinanga lokho uJehova akuyala ngakho.”

USawuli wasesithi: Ngilethele lapha umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokubonga. Wanikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa.

USawule wayesethi: “Ngokuba ngibonile ukuthi abantu bahlakazekile kimi, nokuthi anifikanga ngezinsuku ezimisiweyo, nokuthi amaFilisti abuthana eMigimasi; Ngase ngithi: “AmaFilisti aseyakungifikela eGiligali, kepha angimncenganga uJehova; USamuweli wayesethi kuSawule: “Wenze ngobuwula; awuwugcinanga umyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo; ngoba manje uJehova ubezakuqinisa ubukhosi bakho phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini. Kepha manje umbuso wakho awuyikuba khona; uJehova wazifunela indoda ethandwa yinhliziyo yakhe; uJehova wamyala ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bakhe, ngokuba awugcinanga lokho uJehova akuyala ngakho.
