3 Murhaciyushulaga okuderha ebinwa by’obucibonyi, murhacihîraga mwajacirana, bulya Nyakasane aba Nyamuzinda oyishi byoshi, ye yishi obuzirho by’ebijiro byoshi.

4 Omuherho gw’abacikunga oburhwali gwavunisire, kwoki abarhajira burhwali anabarhwalihize.

5 Abacikung’iyigurha, bakola baja balimya lyo babona ecibalya,  n’abashalye barhacigwasirwi okulimya ebiryo. Engumba yabusire kalinda oku nyalumburhamburha alungumarhirwa.

⁶ Nyakasane ye yirha yena lamya, ye yandagaliza omu kuzimi ye nakula

10 Abashombanyi ba Nyamuzinda bagendesibwa emihanda erhashinganana, Ow’enyanya abakankamira emalunga. Nyamubâho ye twira amashanja goshi emmanja. Ye wanaha Omwami ayimanikaga obuhashe; n’okuha omurhambo wage olukengwa

11 Elkana anacilikula agaluka e Rama, ci omwana yehe ayôrha haguma na  Eli mpu akakolera Nyamubâho.

Bagala ba Eli

12 Bene Eli byali byabi, birhakengaga Nyakasane. ¹³ Neci barharhinyaga, ba rhanakengaga omwanya gw’ecikono c’abadâhwa nk’oku abantu balibarhegesi rwe, bulya ngasi yeshi wahânaga entûlo nterekêro, mwambali w’omudâhwa akagiyisha afumbasire amango enyama ckola yadogoma, omushurhi gw’amino asharhu. 14 N’okugudahiriza omu nyungu, nisi erhi omu cungu, nisi erhi omulukalangiro, n’ebi gulya mushurhi gwakalengeza, omudâhwa anacihekerabyo. Kwo bakagijira ntyo ngasi muny’Israheli wajiiga cyo Silo.

21 Nyamubâho agashanira Ana, ashubiburha barhabana basharhu na ba

Bene Eli

22 Ciru ankaba Eli alikola mushosi  bwenêne,  kurharhumaga  arhamanya ngasi kwoshi abagala bakagirhindibuzamwo bene Israheli boshi, 23 Akababwira, erhi: «Bici birhuma mujira birya nakayumva boshi  baderha?  24  Kananga bana bani! emyanzi ndwirhe nayumva erhali minja. 25 Erhi omuntu ankahemukira owabo, Lungwe yenene wankabatwira olubanja, ci erhi ankahemukira Nyamubâho yenene, indi wankamulagira?» Ci kwonene barhayumvirhizagya izu ly’Ishe, bulya Lungwe alihizire oku abarhumira ababayi­ rha.

26 Omwana Samweli yehe aj’ayushuka n’okuyinjiha embere  za  Nyamubâho.

1 Omwana Samweli akazikolera Nyamubâho aha burhambi bwa Eli. Mw’a go mango Nyamuzinda arhalugigiderheza abantu, n’okubabonekera kwo

2 Lero lusiku luguma erhi Eli agwishire omu mwage, bulya amasu gage gali gakolaga gaba mazamba, arhacihashibona. 3 Agôla mango erhi n’akamole kaciyasire omu ka-Nyamuzinda naye Samweli erhi agwishire omu ka-Nyamuzinda aha burhambi bw’omucîmba gw’amalaganyo.

4 Aho Nyakasane ahamagala Samweli erhi: Samweli! Samweli! ⁵ Naye Samweli ayakuza erhi: Karame, anacilibirhira emunda Eli ali, anaderha  erhi: Niono ohamagire. Eli amushuza erhi: Ntakuhamagiri, kanya ogwishire; Samweli ajigwishira.

6 Ci Nyakasane ashubirira okuhamagala Samweli; Samweli akanya emunda Eli ali amubwira erhi: Niono ohamagire. Eli amushuza, erhi: Ntakuhamagiri mwana galuka ojigwishira.

7 Mw’agôla manga, Samweli arhali cimanya Nyamubâho, n’oluderho lwa Nyamubâho lurhalisagimufululirwa.

8 Nyamubâho ashubihamagala Samweli obwa kasharhu, naye ayimuka aja emunda Eli ali erhi: Niono ohamagire. Aho lero Eli ayumva oku Nyamubâho odwirhe ahamagala oyo mwana. 9 Eli anacibwira Samweli erhi: «Kanya oshubire oku ncingo, okaciyumva akuhamagala, onayakuze erhi: «Ombwire yagirwa, bulya mwambali wawe arhezire amarhwiri». Samweli akanya ashubira aha ncingo yage.

10 Oku bundi Nyamubâho ashubiyisha, ayegera, ashubihamagala nka kulya kwa burhanzi erhi: Samweli! Samweli! Naye Samweli ashuza erhi: «Ombwire Yagirwa bulya mwambali wawe arhezire amarhwiri».

11 Oku bundi obwo anacibwira Samweli, erhi: «Lola, nkubwire oku nkola nagendijira akantu omu Israheli, kalya amarhwiri gombi ga ngasi yeshi gankayumva. 12 Muli agôla mango, nanajirira Eli birya byoshi nanamubwiraga oku  byahonera  enyumpa   yage,   nanabirhôndêra   nambiyukirize   lwoshi. ¹³Namubwizire oku enyumpa yage nayishiyitwira olubanja lukwanine, oku câha yenene anamanyire.» Abana bage bakazirijacira Nyamuzinda arhanabahanaga. ¹⁴Co cirhumire mpigira enyumpa ya Eli, oku ntamango ecâha c’enyumpa yage cababalirwa, ciru akajira empongano, ciru akajira eyindi nterekêro.

¹⁵Samweli akanya agendigwishira kuhika bwaca. Erhi aba amazûka, akanya ajiyigula enyumvi z’aka-Nyamuzinda. Samweli aliyobohire okushambalira Eli ebi anabwiragwa omu kubonekerwa. ¹⁶ Ci kwonene Eli ahamagala Samweli amubwira erhi: «Mwana wani Samweli». Naye amushuza erhi: «Karame».

17 Eli anacimudôsa erhi: «Kanwa kaci anakubwizire? Nkuhûnyirc orhafulikaga. Lungwe akujire kubi, erhi wankacishomya mpu wanfulika, cinwa ciguma mw’ebi akubwiraga».

¹⁸Lero Samweli amuganirira ebi anabwiragwa byoshi buzira kufulika akantu. Eli anacimushuza, erhi: «Ye Nyamubâho, oku abwine kuli kwinja yenene akujirage.»

¹⁹Samweli ajayushuka erhi na Nyamubâho ali haguma naye, na nta kanwa kage ciru n’akaguma alesire karhogera okw’idaho busha. ²⁰ Israheli yeshi kurhenga e Dani kuhika e Bersaba, amanya oku Lungwe ajizire Samweli  mulêbi. 21 Nyamubâho akayôrha aciyerekana aha Silo, bulya akazagibonekera ho Samweli.

Bafâmo hofi balume bihumbi bini, omu banali oku matabâro mw’akola kabanda balwiraga. 3 Olubaga lwagenda lwajogonja omu birâlo n’abagula bacidôsa mpu carhumire Nyamubâho arhuhimisa kula n’Abafilistini. Mukanye rhurhume e Silo, barhurhôlere omucîmba gw’amalaganyo ga Nyamubâho; yene ayishe ekarhî kirhu, lyo arhulikfiza oku bashombanyi birhu.

4 Olubaga lwanacirhuma entumwa e Silo, banaciyisha badwirhe Omucîmba gw’Amalaganyo ga Nyamubâho w’Emirhwe, olya oba enyanya lya bakerubi. Bene Eli babo oku banali babirhi, HIofni na Pinehasi, banaciyisha balusize ogwola  mucîmba  gw’Amalaganyo  ga   Nyamubâho.   5   Erhi   Omucîmba gw’ Amalaganyo ga Nyamuzinda gunahika omu lugerêro, bene Israheli babanda orhuhababo, idaho lyadirhimana.

⁶Izu ly’orhôla rhuhababo lyayumvikana emwa Abafilistini,  banaciderha mpu: «Lero lubi lwa rhuhababo rhuci orho rhwamazûka  omu  lugerêro  lwa bene Israheli?» Banaciyumva oku Omucîmba gw’Amalaganyo ga Nyamubâho ogwo gwamahika omu lugerêro lwabo. ⁷ Ahôla Abafilistini bayôboha bwenêne, bulya bamanya oku Lungwe amaja oku lugerêro. Banaciderha mpu:

«Rhwamahwa, bulya birhali ntyo injo na lishinjo. 8 Rwamahwa lero, indi wankacirhulikuza omu maboko g’oyôla Nyanduma; k’arhali y’olya warhindibuzagya abanya-Misiri n’ebibande bya ngasi lubero. 9 Muhire omurhima omu nda Bafilistini we, musimike akirume, rhurhagiba baja ba bene Israheli, nka kulya bali baja binyu. Mube balume.»

1O Abafilistini banacikoza entambala. Bene Israheli bahimwa, na ngasi muguma afulumukira omu cirâlo cage, bahimwa bwenêne, na bene Israheli bafamwo balume bihumbi makumi asharhu. ¹¹ Omucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda gwa nyagwa, na balya bene Eli oku banali babirhi, Hofni na Pinehasi banacifa.

Okufa kwa Eli

12 Oku banahimwa ntya, muntu w’omu bûko bwa bene Benyamini, akula omulindi kurhenga okola lugerêro, ahika e Silo bulibirha olwola lusiku lwonêne, ayisha erhi emyambalo yage eri misharhule n’irhwe liyunjwire katulo. 13 Ago mango ayishaga, Eli ali atamire oku citumbi, oku njira, adwirhe alingûza, omurhima gwage gwakazagidûrha erhi gulya Mucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda gurhuma. Oyôla muntu oku anahisa ogwola mwanzi omu lugo, olugo lwoshi lwabanda endulu. 14 Erhi ayumva ecola cihogero c’eyôla ndulu, Eli acidôsa, erhi: «Olwola lubi luli lwa bici wani?» Oyôla muntu akanya ajibwira Eli ogwola mwanzi.

15 Eli mw’agôla mango alikola mushosi wa myaka makumi gali mwenda na munani, ali akola aheneka kwone arhanabona.

16 Olya muntu anacibwira Eli, erhi: «Niono narhenga oku matabâro, kufu­ lumuka oku nfulumisire oku matabâro ene.» Eli anacimudôsa, erhi: «Kurhi byabire mwana wani»?

17 Olya muntu walimumanyisa omwanzi anacimushuza, erhi: «Israheli anahimirwe n’ Abafilistini, n’abantu mwandu bafire omu lubaga, ciru na bagala bawe bombi oku banali babirhi bafire, na gulya Mucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda gwanyazirwe.»

18 Oku anayusiderha oku kwo omucîmba gwanyazirwe ntyola, Eli ahenanguka, cinyumanyuma kuli cirya citumbi, acirhimba okw’idaho olunda lw’omuhango, avunika akasiragosi, afà, bulya ali akola mushosi na muntu muzirho. Abire muciranuzi w’Israheli myaka makumi anni.

Okufa kwa muka Pinehasi

19 Naye omwalikazi ye waligi muka Pinehasi, agôla mango erhi al’izimi likulu, erhi ayumva oku Omucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda gwahesirwe ntyo, n’oku ishazala n’iba bafire, afurhama n’oku afurhama aburha erhi malumwa  garhuma. 20 Ali akola bufa, ci ababo bakazi bahali bamuha omurhima  mpu rhulula, kali wamaburha omwanarhabana. Ci arhashuzagya cici kuli ebyo binwa. Arhabitwaga ihuzihuzi. 21 Nyamukazi ayirika oyo mwana izino lya Ikabodi, bulya amaderha erhi: «Irenge lyarhenzire omu Israheli.» Erhi okwo kunyagwa kw’Omucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda kurhuma, n’okwôla kufa kw’ishazala n’okw’iba kurhuma. 22 Anaciderha, erhi: «Irenge lyarhenzire omu Israheli, bulya Omucîmba gwa Nyamuzinda gwanyazirwe».

Hali muntu muguma w’omu bûko bwa Benyamini izino lyage ye Kisi mugala wa Abiyeli, mugala wa Serori, mugala wa Bekorati, mugala wa Afiyahi, mugala wa Munya-Benyamni muguma; abaga mntu wa burhwali bunene. 2 Oyôla muntu ali agwerhe omugala izino lyage ye Saulu, mwana wa mubagabaga na mwinja bwenêne. Nta mwana w’omu Israheli wali omulushire bwinja n’oku buli bwage, abantu boshi bw’omu lubaga bakazagimuhikira omu

birhugo.

3 Mango maguma endogomi za Kisi ye waligi ishe wa Saulu zanacihera. Kisi anacibwira omugala Saulu, erhi: «Kanya mweshi na muguma omu bambali birhu, muhume enjira, muje mwalonza zirya ndogomi  zirhu.»  4  Banacikanya,bagera omu birhondo bya Efrayimu, bagera omu cihugo ca Shalisha, barhabona cici. Bakanya baja omu cihugo ca Shalimu, barhabonaga cici, bayikira ewwa bene Benyamini, nayo barhazibonaga.

5 Erhi bahika omu cihugo ca Sufu, Saulu abwira olya mwambzli wabo wali omulusize, erhi: «Rhugaluke bulya hali amango wankabona larha rhwe akola ayobohire kulusha endogomi.»

6 Olya mwambali wabo amubwira erhi: «Lola oku omula lugo muliomuntu wa Nnâmahanga. Ali muntu bakenga bwenêne na ngasi  byoshi  anaderha binabe kulya? Rhukanye rhuje emunda ali,  hali amango  akarhubwiriza  njira ehi rhwageramwo».

⁷   Saulu anacidôsa olya mwambali wabo. erhi: «Rhukayija, bicigi rhudwirhe rhwagendimuha oyôla muntu wa Nnâmahanga; bicigi obwine rhugwerhe.»

8 Olya murhumisi ashubishuza Saulu amubwira, erhi: «Lola oku ncigwerhe ecihimhi c’ifundo ly’amagerha g’amarhale, oyishiciha oyôla muntu wa Nnâmahanga, n’Ahôla anayishirhuyereka enjira».

9 Mango ga mira omu Israheli erhi babaga bakola bagendidôsa embûko ya Nyamuzinda bakazagikomerera okuderha, erhi: «Mukanye rhujidôsa omu geremwa». Bulya omulêbi wa bunôla akazagiderhwa mira mpu mugeremwa. 10 Saulu anacibwira mwambali wabo erhi: «Ebyola binwa biri binja; okanyagye rhuyije.» Banacija emw’olya muntu wa Nnâmahanga omu lugo.

Saulu arhimanana na Samweli

11 Erhi haba bakola barherema oku murhezi gusôkîre okwôla lugo, bashimana abanyere bajagidoma amîshi, banacibadôsa mpu: «Kw’omugeremwa kw’ali kuno?»

12 Banacibashuza bababwira mpu: «Kw’ali mpu loli ye embere zinyu, ci mukanyagye bulya ene lyo nayishaga omu lugo ebwa kuba olubaga lugwasirwe okugendihêrera oku ntondo. ¹³ Hano muhika omu lugo mwanashimana arhacisôkera enyanya aj’irya, bulya olubaga lurhankalya arhanaciyisha, agwasi rwe arhangigisha enterekêro n’enyuma ly’aho abayemêrere okulya. Musôkage buno-buno, bulya ene mwanabona.» Banacisôkera omu lugo. 14 Oku banasôka ntya, bakola bali omu karhi kw’olugo, tundu kuli Samweli  oyishire  emunda bali, ago mango asôkeraga ebwa ntondo.

15  Ci kwonene lusiku luguma embere Saulu  ayishe, Nyamubâho ali amarha

»

ngibonekera  Samweli  amubwira  erhi:  16   «Irhondo  nka  ganola  mango, naku

rhumira omuntu w’omu bûko bwa Benyamini, omushige amavurha, omuyîmike ye waba mwami w’olubaga lwani lw’Israheli, ye wayôkola olubaga lwani omu buja bw’Abafilistini, bulya nabwine olubaga lwani na bulyala omulenge gwalo gwahisire emunda ndi.» 17 Oku Samweli analangira Saulu ntya, Nyamubâho abwira Samweli erhi: «Lola omuntu nakubwiraga, oyôla ye wayîma, abe mwami w’oluhaga lwani.»

18 Saulu ahika hofi na Samweli omu karhî kw’omuhango, anacimudôsa erhi:

«Mâshi nkusengire onangule aha mw’olya mugeremwa wa Nnâmahanga».

19 Samweli ashuza Saulu amubwira erhi: «Niono nie mugeremwa. Shokolaga, osôkere oku ntondo ebwa luhêro, ene wajirya haguma na nani, n’irhondo nanakusengaruka ogende na ngasi hikuli emurhima hyoshi nanakulangûlahyo.

²⁰ Oku biyerekire endogomi zinyu zali zihezire, orhaciyôbohaga cici, bulya zikola zibonekine hamagera nsiku isharhu. Na kandi obuhirhi boshi bwa Israheli buli bwandi. Ka burhali bwawe n’enyumpa ya sho yoshi?»

21 Saulu ashuza aderha, erhi: «Niono, ka ntaciberiri w’omu bûko bwa Be nyamini, bûko busungunu omu bene Israheli » N’omulala gwani ka gurhali gwo

mulala munyi bwenêne omu milala ya bene Benyamini yoshi? Cankarhuma

wambwira akanwa ka bene akwo?»

22 Samweli erhi aba amayanka Saulu n’omwambali abahêka omu nyumpa y’okulya, abahira embere omu karhî ka balya bali balalike bali hofi makumi asharhu. ²³ Samweli abwira owakazagiyenda erhi: «Lêrhaga cirya cigabi nakubisagya cirya nakubwiraga nti ocilange».

24 Owakazagiyenda alêrha okugulu kw’ecibuzi n’ezindi nyama ziba ziri eburhambi bwako, ahira embere za Saulu. Samweli anacimubwira erhi: «Ala ebi rhwalirhukubikire ebira embere zawe; obirye, bulya we nalimbikire kuli olu lusiku lukulu ene ndalika olubaga.» Saulu alya boshi na Samweli mw’olwo lusiku.

25 Banaciyandagala barhenga ebwa luhêro bashubira omu lugo, babambira Saulu encingo omu nyumpa 26 naye alalakwo.

Saulu ashigwa amavurha gw’obwami

Erhi buca Samweli ayakuza Saulu ebwa nyumpa erhi: «Zûka nkusengaruke ogende». Saulu azûka bahuluka oku banali babirhi boshi na Samweli.

27 Erhi babunguluka bahika oku kafendefende kw’olugo, Samweli abwira Saulu, erhi: «Bwira oyu mwambali wawe abe ashokola, aj’embere oku rhwayisha». Naye anacishokola. Samweli erhi: «Ci kwonene w’oyo orhangibera aha kasanzi kasungunu, nkubwire akanwa ka Nyamubâho».

Okubundi obwola, obwoba bwa Nyamuzinda bwanacibarhogerakwo boshi, bashagamukira oku matabâro nka muntu muguma.

⁸ Saulu abaganja, boshi okubanali erhi bakola bali aha Bezeki: Bene  Israheli bali bihumbi magana asharhu, na bene Yuda bali balume bihumbi makumi asharhu.

9 Banacibwira zirya ntumwa zaliyishire, mpu: «Mugendibwira abantu b’e

Yabeshi omu Giieadi, erhi: “Irhondo mwabona obuyokoke gala mango izûba liyerêra”. Zirya ntumwa zagaluka zajibwira abantu b’e Yabeshi kulya zarhumagwa, nabo boshi bajamwo omwishingo munene bwenêne. ¹⁰  Abo bantu  b’e Yabeshi banacibwira balya Banya-Amoniti erhi: “Irhondo Lyo rhwayisha emunda muli, mwene murhujirirage oku mubwine kuii kwinja”.

11 Oku lusiku lwakulikiraga, Saulu agabanya engabo yage muii mirhwe isha rhu. Boshi bayongoberera omu legerero lw’Abanya-Amoniti mucêracêra. Babahima erhi izuba Iiyerera. Abashugunukaga bagenda emihanda erhashinganana.

12 Olubaga lwanacibwira Samweli, mpu: «Ndi olya waderhaga mpu: Ka Saulu ye wakaba Mwami wirhu? Orhuhe abôla bantu rhubanige».

13 Ci kwonene Saulu ashuza erhi: «Ntaye wakayirhwa ene, bulya oku lw’ene Nyamuzinda ye yokwire olubaga lwage lw’Israheii.»

14 Samweli abwira olubaga, erhi: «Mukanye duba, rhuje aha Giligali rhuge

nd’iyimanikiraho obwami. »

15 Olubaga lwanacija e Giligali, lwayimikiraho Saulu omu masu ga Nyamubâho. Barherekêra Ahôla Giligali enterekêro z’okushenga omurhûla emwa Nyamubâho na bene Israheli bashagalukira halya bwenêne.

1 Saulu ali akola agwerhe emyaka erhi aba Mwami. Ayimire myaka ibirhi ali mwami omu Israheli.

2 Saulu anacicishoga bantu bihumbi bisharhu omu bene Israheli: Bihumbi bibirhi byakazagibêra boshi naye aha Mikimasi n’oku ntondo ya Beteli, n’abandi ba cihumbi bàbaga boshi na Yonatasi aha Gibeya emwa bene Benyamini. Abandi basigalaga omu lubaga abarhuma ngasi baguma omu mwababwe.

Saulu abûhisa omushekera omu cihugo coshi, na Bene Israheli boshi bayumva ogwola mwanzi oku: 4 Saulu anayisire omurhambo w’Abafilistini, n’Israheli yeshi akola ahigirwe n’ Abafilistini. Olubaga lwoshi lwashubukiraho Saulu aha Giligali. 5 Abafilistini banacishubûzanya mpu bagendilwisa bene Israheli; bali badwirhe ngalè bihumbi makumi asharhu, na bihumbi ndarhu bya basirika balwira oku nfarasi n’eyindi ngabo y’abantu bali banji nka mushenyi gw’oku nyanja.

⁸ Alinda nsiku nda nka kulya amango omulêbi Samweli anali atwire. Ci Samweli arhayishaga duba aha Gilgali. Olubaga lwarhôndêra okuyaka n’okucijira kuli na Saulu.

⁹ Lero Ahôla Saulu aderha, erhi: «Nderheri enterekêro y’embâgwa n’enterekêro y’okushenga omurhûla. Yene anacihêra enterekêro.» ¹⁰ Oku ayusihêra ntya, naye Samweli ayisha, Saulu ahuluka mpu agendimuyankirira anamulamuse.

12 Naderha nti Abafilistini ene bakola banyandagilirakwo aha Gilgali na ciru ntanacishenga Nnâmahanga. Okubundi namarhôla omuhigo namarherekêra enterekêro y’embâgwa.

¹³ Samweli anashuza Saulu erhi: «Wajizire nka musirhe; ocishimbaga irhegeko lya Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wawe anakuhaga, Nyamubâho anali ayimanika obwami bwawe omu Israheli ensiku zoshi. ¹⁴ Ci kwonene obwami bwawe nta misi bwacijira.

 ¹⁵ Samweli ayimuka e Gilgali aja e Geba emwa bene Benyamini. Saulu aganja abantu bali bacisigire boshi naye, bahika omu bantu magana gali ndarhu.

Okucîrheganya oku ntambala

Mw’agôla mango erhi ahanzire oku kafendefende ka Gibeya idako ly’omurhi gwabaga aha Migroni, haguma n’omurhwe gwage gw’abantu hofi magana gali ndarhu. 3 Ahiya  mugala  wa Ahitubu,  mulumuna wa Ikabodi, mugala wa Pinehasi, mugala wa Eli, ye wali mudâhwa wa Nyakasane aha Silo, ye wali odwirhe ecishuli c’omudâhwa mukulu. Olubaga lurhali lumanyire oku Yonatani anabarhenziremwo.

4 Omu myongobana Yonatani alonzagya okugera mpu ayikirire

7 Olya mwambali anacimushuza, erhi: «Ojire ngasi kantu onayumvirhe kakuli emurhima; kanya rhugende obwo oyumvirhe omurhima gukuhire».

8 Yonatani anacimubwira, erhi: «Lola oku rhukola rhwayikirira emunda bala babisha bali, rhunaciyerekebo. 9 Bakarhubwira mpu: Yimangi aho kuhika rhuhike emunda muli, rhwanabêra halya, rhurhakasôkera emunda bali.

10 Ci kwonene bakarhubwira mpu: Musôkere eno, rhunasôke bulya erhi kwo kuderha oku Nyamubâho anabahizire omu maboko girhu. Co cimanyiso cirhu ecola.»

11 Oku banali babirhi baciyereka lulya lugerêro lw’Abafilistini, nabo Abafilistini erhi bababona baderha mpu: «Langiri Abayahudi bahuluka omu mina bali bacifulisire». ¹² Balya bantu bali oku lugerêro banacibwira Yonatani n’olya mwambali wakazagimurhwaza omurhana gw’emirasano, erhi: «Muyishe enola munda rhwamubwira akantu».

Abashombanyi bayisha bahenanguka embere za Yonatani n’olya mwambali ayisha abanigûza omu nyuma zage. 14 Kunigûza abantu kwabo kurhanzi, Yonatani boshi n’olya mwambali omurhwaza omurhana gw’emirasano bayirha bantu hofi makumi abirhi omu hantu ha bugali busungunu hali nka cihimbi ca aha omuntu akahinga mulegerege muguma.

Entambala yalumira omu lugerêro n’omu lugo lwoshi

15 Oboba bwazûka omu lugerêro, Omu lugo, kuguma n’omu karhî k’olubaga lwoshi; abali okw’icumbi nabo bajuguma, ciru n’ezàli ntwali zageramwo ogwa nyegenye, idaho lyageramwo omusisi: Barhungwa n’obwoba bwa Nyamuzinda.

16 Bene Saulu bali ebulabi aha Gibeya n’emwa bene Benyamini, balangira olubaga  lw’ababisha  lwazûkamwo  obunyagasi  n’akavulindi  olunda  n’olundi. 17 Saulu anacibwira erya ngabo yali boshi naye, erhi: «Geranimwo mulole ndi rhwali  rhweshi  arhanaciri  muli  rhwe».  Boshi  bagezanyamwo  amasu, babona

19 Agôla mango Saulu akazagishambala boshi n’omudâhwa, okushamîra kwaluga bwenêne omu lugerêro lw’Abafilistini. Saulu anacibwira omudâhwa, erhi: «Galula okuboko kwawe».

20 Okubundi obwola, Saulu n’erya ngabo y’abantu bali boshi naye erhi baba bamaja mulali balikûla  baja oku matabâro,  nalolà: eyôla munda, erhi engôrho ya muguma eri oku wabo, bazûkamw’akavange kanene bwenêne. 21  Abayahudi bali bashizire Abafilistini bali bagenzikinwe oku matabâro erhi bahika halya bagoma, bagwasanya haguma n’abandi bene Israheli baliyishire haguma na Saulu na Yonatani.

22 Na ngasi bene Israheli bali bacifulisire omu ntondo ya Efrayimu, erhi bayumva oku Abafilistini bakuzire omulindi bayaka, nabo bayandagala n’abandi bene Israheli omu kulwa.

23 Kwo Nyamubâho ayokwire bene Israheli ntyo olwola lusiku.

Yonatani arhashimbaga akanwa ka Saulo

Entamhala yanacija yayushuka kuhika aha Betoroni. 24 Oku  olubaga  luli bufa n’omurhamo lwamakoya bwenêne, Saulu agalilugasha erhi: «Mâshi abe buligo owankaderha mpu ahira akalyo ekanwa kuhika bijingo, embere nani ncîhôlere omukuniguza abanzi bani!». Ntaye wadesire mpu akalya akalyo n’obwola igulu lyoshi lidwirhe lyacishalula aha kasirahinga.

2 Banacihika omu muzirhu na muli ogola muzirhu erhi obuci budwirhe

26 Nalo olubaga lwanacija omu muzirhu halya obûci bwakazigihululira; ci ntaye wadesire mpu akahira okuboko ekanwa bulya lwali luyobohire gulya mwigasho. 27   Ci kwonene Yonatani arhamanyaga amango ishe Saulu agashaga olubaga. Ayerekeza irhwerhwe ly’akarhi, ali afumbasire, alifunda omu cigukulu c’obûci ahêka okuboko kwage ebwa kanwa, amasu gage gashubizibûka. ²⁸ Lero muntu muguma omu lubaga anacirhenga omu kanwa aderha, erhi: «Sho anagashire olubaga mpu: Ahere ene owankahuma oku biryo; olubaga erhi kukola kukoya bwenêne».

29  Yonatani  anacishuza  erhi:  «Larha  amasherêza  ccihugo.  Ka murhabwini

³⁰  Aye! olubaga lucilyage ene oku munyago rhwanyagaga abashombanyi, k’okuhimwa kw’Abafilistini kurhali kwaba kunene mw’olu lusiku?»

Olubaga lwahemukira Nyamubiiho

31 Olwo lusiku banacihima Abafilistini kurhenga aha Mikimasi kuhika aha Ayayaloni, ci olubaga erhi lwamadaga bwenêne. 32 Olubaga lwacirhunika kwa birya banyagaga, banaciyanka ebibuzi, enkafu n’amanina babibâgira okw’idaho, engabo yarhôndêra  yabirya  bibishi   ³² Oku bundi obwo banacibwira

N’obwo walijirire bene Israheli bwinja galya mango barhengaga e Misiri.» Na ntyo ngasi Keniti yeshi aciberûla kuli Amaleki. 7 Saulu ahima Amaleki kurhenga e Hawila kuja aha muhango gwa Shuru, oba olunda lw’e Misiri. 8 Agwarha Agagi anaciri mugumaguma,  ye waligi mwami wa bene Amaleki n’engabo yage

yoshi ayiherêrekeza  oku  bwoji  bw’engôrho. ° Ci kwonene Saulu  n’engabo yage ababalira Agagi kuguma na ngasi bîntu byage byali binja: ebibuzi, enkafu, abanabuzi na ngasi bîntu byage byanali binja; barhalonzagya  okubiherêrekeza, ci kwonene birya byanali bya mihera, bya mijojo, byoki banigûzizagye.

Nyamubâho agayisibwa n’obworhere bwa Saulu

10 Akanwa ka Nyamubâho kacihondakwo Samweli ntyala, erhi: 11 «Ngayire omu kubona najizire Saulu mwami, bulya amacinyimpindulira arhalonzizi okujira oku ebinwa byani bidesire». Samweli yeshi ayunjula njoli, alâla abirikira Nyamubâho obudufu boshi.

12 Erhi kuba mucêracêra Samweli azûkiriza mpu aje emunda Saulu ali; barhangibwira Samweli oku Saulu anajire e Karmeli ananayûbasire yo oluhêro; ci kwonene anarhenzire yo, agendirhandanya kuli kulusha, ajiyandagalira e Gilgali.

¹³ Samweli akanya aja emunda Saulu ali. Saulu anacimubwira, erhi: «Ogishwe na Nyamubâho. Najizire oku akanwa ka Nyamubâho kanadesire.»

14 Samweli anacimudôsa, erhi: «Olwo lubi lw’ebibuzi n’eco cihôgêre c’enkafu campusa amarhwiri, ngahi kwarhenga?»

15 Saulu anacihuza, erhi: «Rhwabirhenzagya emwa bene Amaleki; bulya olubaga erhi lwamaderha mpu baleke ngasi biri binja omu bibuzi na omu nkafu bagendibirherekêra Nyamubâho; ebindi byasigala byoshi rhwabijegenjire ».

¹⁶ Samweli anacibwira Saulu, erhi: Hulikaga, hoshi aho! Nkolaga  nakubwira oku Nyamubâho anambwizire ene budufu. Anacimbwira, erhi: Derhaga! 17 Samweli anaciderha, erhi: «Ka ciru wene orhakagibona n’amasu gawe oku onali munyi; k’orhacibaga mwami wa bene Israheli, ka Nyamubâho arhaciyimanikaga mwali w’Israheli? ¹⁸ Nyamubâho wakuhiraga omu njira erhi: Kanya onigûze bala bantu babi bo bene Amaleki, obalwise kuhika boshi

obajegenje. 19 Carhumirage orhaciyumva izu lya Nyamubâho, ci aba oku by’obuhaguzi by’okola wacihunikakwo n’omu kujira ntyo wahonya ebigalugalu

omu masu ga Nyamubâho.»

20Saulu anacishuza Samweli erhi: «Neci mâshi nayumvirhize izu lya Nyamubâho, nanakulikire enjira yage anantumagamwo yoshi. Nayishire ndwirhe Agagi ye mwami wa bene Amaleki, Israheli nanabalambika nk’oku byanali birhegesirwe. 21 Ci kwonene olubaga lwanyazire, oku bibuzi na oku nkafu banyagaga byo byali birhangiriza omu byaherêrekezibwa, babirhôla mpu bage­ndibirherekêra Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wawe aha Gilgali.»

22 Samweli anacimushuza, erhi: «Ka omanyire mpu okubâga n’okurherekêra kulushire okuyumva n’okushimba izu lya Nyamubâho? Okurhumikira kwo kukulu aha kurherekêra, okurhega amarhwiri kulushire amashumi g’engandabuzi.

23 Obugoma kwo buli nka ecâha c’obulaguzi. Okuba  n’irhwe  lirhayumva kwo kuguma n’okuharamya enshusho n’abazimu. Bulya wagayaguzize akanwa ka Nyamubâho, naye akola akukazire omu bwami; orhaciri mwami.»

Saulu ahûna obwonjo

24 Oku bundi Saulu anacibwira Samweli, erhi: «Najizire ecâha bulya ntashimbaga irhegeko lya Nyamubâho n’ebinwa byawe, bulya namarhinya olubaga kulusha nanayumva oku ludesire.

25 Nkuhûnyirage bunôla onkûlire ecâha cani, ogalukage rhunagende rhwembi ngendiharamya Nyamubâho.

26 Samweli ashuza Saulu, erhi: «Ntagaluke rhwembi, bulya wagayaguzize

akanwa ka Nyamubâho, naye akola akukuzire okuba mwami, orhaciri mwami w’Israheli».

27 Na oku Samweli ahindamuka mpu akola agenda, Saulu amugwarhira oku cikwi c’ecishuli cage, na cirya cishuli câhahanyuka. 28 Samweli anacimushuza, erhi: «Kwo na Nyamubâho akuhahanyulirekwo ntyo obwami bw’Israheli; amanabuha owinyu oli mwinja kukulusha».

29 Ci omanye oku irenge lya Israheli lirhankacirheba lirhankanaciyunjuza, bulya arhali muntu, olya yeki ogwasirwe okuciyunjuza.

³⁰ Oku bundi Saulu aderha, erhi: «Najizire ecâha! Ci kwonene  nkusengirage, onkengesagye nani embere z’abagula b’olubaga lwani na embere za Israheli; ogaluke rhugende rhwembi ngendiharamya Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wawe». 31 Samweli agaluka ashimba Saulu, Saulu anaciharamya Nyamubâho.

32 Samweli anaciderha erhi: «Mundêrhere Agagi, mwami w’aba-Amaleki. Agagi ayisha akananda na omwishingo aja emunda ali; Agagi akazagicidesa, erhi: Mâshi okuli oburhe bw’okunyirha bwahwire! 33 Samweli anaciderha, erhi: Nka kulya engôrho yawe yarhumaga abakazi babula abana,  ntyo  na  nyoko naye arhakacibona bana omu babo bakazi!»

34 Samweli ayanka Agagi amutwa bihimbi bihimbi embere za Nyamubâho aha Gilgali. ³⁵ Na kurhenga Ahôla Samweli arhacibonanaga bundi na Saulu kuhika aha kufa kwage.

11 Erhi bayumva ebyôla binwa by’oyôla mufilistini, Saulu haguma na bene Israheli boshi barhemuka, bageramwo omusisi bwenêne.

Daudi arhumwa n’ishe oku lugerêro lwa bene Israheli

12 Ci kwonene haligi omuntu w’e Efrata omu Betelehemu ya Yuda, izino lyage ye Yese, ali agwerhe bagala munani; oyu mushamuka, omu mango ga Saulu ali akola mushosi bwenêne. ¹³ Muli abôla bagala, abasharhu barhanzi bali oku matabâro boshi na Saulu amazino gabo bwo: Eliyahu yo nfula, Abinadabu ye wali wa kabirhi, na Shama ye wali wa kasharhu.

14 Daudi go gwali muziba; abôla basharhu barhanzi bali bakulikire Saulu.

15 Daudi akazagiyisha emunda Saulu ali anabuligaluka agendiyabula ebibuzi by’ishe e Betelehemu.

¹⁶ Oyôla mufilistini akazagiyish’isholoshonza Israheli ntyo sêzi na bijingo

kuhika nsiku makumi ani.

17 Yese anacibwira omugala Daudi, erhi: «Hêkera bakulu bawe oyo namaha w’engano nkalange n’eyira migati ikumi, okanye oyishegule bakulu bawe okwoôa lugerêro. 18 Orhu rhushoko ikumi rhw’amakave orhuhêkere olya murhahâzi wabo orhambula ecihumbi, ogendirhangula ntyo bakulu hawe olole erhi bazibuhire, kandi wanalêrha n’emikamarho yabo. 19 Saulu na bene Israhelibhoshi, bali bahanzire omu kabanda ka Terehinti oku matabâro badwirhe balwisa Abafilistini.

20 Daudi azûka sêzi sêzi, ebibuzi byage abiyabuza owabo, abarhula, anagenda nka kulya ishe Yese ananamurhcgckaga. Erhi Daudi ahika oku lugerêro e­ rhi engabo ekola yaja oku lugamba baja babanda orhuhababo rhwa amataba­ ro. ²¹ Bene Israheli n’Abafilistini bayimanika cbigamba by’okulwa, engabo oku yabo. 22 Daudi, omushekero gwage agubikisa omuntu wakazagibika ebirugu, alibirhira emunda cngabo cri. Oku anahika ntya, alamusa bakulu bagc.

²³ Oku adwirhe ashambâla boshi na bakulu bage, kandi olya muntu w’entwali oderhwa Goliyati w’e Gati, apamuka omu mirhwe y’ Abafilistini arhôndêra  aderha  ebinwa  biri nka  birya  birhanzi  erhi  na Daudi  adwirhe ayumva.

24  Bene Israheli boshi erhi babona olya muntu bamuyaka, barhungwa n’obwoba bunji. 25 Munya-Israheli muguma amubwira, erhi: «K’orhabwini ola muntu watakâza. Kujacira okwôla adwirhe ajacira bene Israheli. Owankamuyirha, mwami anamuha oluhembo lunenene, anamuha omwali n’enyumpa yabo enabe ya kurhinywa omu Israheli.»

26 Daudi anacidôsa abantu bàli hofi naye erhi: «Kurhi bankajira omuntu wayirha oyo mufilistini na ntyo akûle enshonyi omu Israheli! Bulya, oyo mufilistini aligi yeki muntu muci, oyo murhindi orhakembulagwa wacishomya okujacira engabo ya Nyamuzinda Ozine.»

27 Olubaga lwanacimurhôndereza kulya banalagana oku bankahemba omuntu wakahashimuyirha, mpu: «Omuntu wanamuyirhe kwo hanamuhembe ntyo». ²⁸ Mukulu wage Eliyabu ayumva oku adwirhe ashambâla n’abôla balume bali ahôla, Eliyabu akunirira bwenêne Daudi anacimubwira, erhi: «Bici

wayandagaliraga eno, na ndi wasigire bulya buso busungunu bw’ebibuzi omu irungu? Niono nyishi obucibone ojira n’ohwengehusi bw’omu murhima gwawe; kwali kuderha mpu oyishilola entambala kwonene kwakudwirhe».  ²⁹ Daudi anacishuza erhi: «Kurhi namajira buno? K’omuntu arhankaciganira».

30 Anacimuyêrekeza omugongo arhôndêra aganira n’owundi kwa bene kulya; abantu banakamushuza nka balya babo barhanzi.

11 Abayumvagya ebyola binwa Daudi akagiderha bakanya bagendibwira Saulu, naye amurhumiza mpu ayishe.

Daudi akula Saulo nshonyi

32 Daudi anacibwira Saulu, erhi: “Ntaye waderhaga mpu arha omurhima!

Mwambali wawe ajilwisa oyo mufilistini».

³³ Saulu abwira Daudi, erhi: «Orhankahasha okukoza oyôla mufilistini, bu­ lya ociri murho, ci yehe matumu alwa kurhenga eburho hwage».

34 Daudi ashuza Saulu, erhi: «Niono mwambali wawe amango nakagiyabula ebibuzi bya larha erhi hakayishire entale nisi erhi kakiri akarhôla ecibuzi omu buso, 35 nanyikulikire nyigwarhe nshurhe, nshugule ecibuzi cani omu kanwa kayo; erhi yankadesire mpu yampindamukira, nanyigwarhire oku bwoya bw’olubongo nyishurhe nyiyirhe. ³⁶ Mwambali wawe ayisire entale n’akakiri n’ecola cirhindi c’omufilistini cirhakembûlagwa nacinigûza nka oku nigûza ngasi nguma muli ezôla nsimba, bulya anajacire engabo ya Nyamuzinda Ozine». 37Daudi ashubiza aderha, erhi: «Nyamuzinda wandikûzagya kuli eyôla ntale na kuli oyôla kakiri, ye wanandikuza kuli oyôla mufilistini». Saulu anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Gendaga, Nyamubâho abe haguma nawe!».

Daudi ayirha Goliyati

38 Okubundi Saulu ayambisa Daudi emirasano yage, amuhira ensirha yage y’ecûma omu irhwe amuhundikira n’omwambalo gwage gw’empenzi.

39 Oku bundi Daudi ayambalira engôrho oku nyanya ly’emyamhalo yage arhangula okugenda bulyalya arhalisagibiyambala bundi. Daudi anacibwira Sauli, erhi: «Ntakahasha okugenda n’eyira mirasano bulya ntakukômeraga». N’erhi aba amayihogola, ⁴⁰ Daudi afumbarha akarhi kage, akanya aja omu lwîshi, arhôlamwo rhubuye rhurhanu rhwanshangabuye arhuyômeka omu nshoho yage ahagarhira nka ayabula, gwo gwaligi nka murhana gwage; afumharha omuzareti gwage, akulikira olya mufilistini. ⁴¹ Olya mufilistini ayisha ashegera emunda Daudi ali, erhi anashokoliragwe n’olya muntu okahêka empenzi yage. ⁴² Olya mufilistini alola Daudi, amusingiriza amugaya bulya amaba mwana murho ciru akaba wa kakonge na w’iranga linja. 43 Olya mufilistini abwira Daudi, erhi: «Ka omanyire mpu ndi kabwa obwola ontezire n’akarhi?» Olya mufilistini anacigasha Daudi ba nyamuzinda b’emwabo. ⁴⁴ Anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Yishaga emunda ndi, ene omurhumba gwawe naguha orhunyunyi n’ebiryanyi by’erubala».

45 Naye Daudi ashuza olya mufilistini, erhi: «W’oyo onyishire n’engôrho, itumu n’omuherho; ci niono ntabîre oku izino lya Nyamubâho w’emirhwe, ye Nyamuzinda w’abarhabâzi b’e Israheli okazigayaguza. ⁴⁶ Nyamubâho ene akuhânyire omu maboko gani, nakuyirha na nkuyambale, ene omurhumba gwawe n’emirhumba y’engabo z’Abafilistini nayiha orhunyunyi rhw’emalunga n’ensimba z’igulu, igulu lyoshi lyamanya ene oku Israheli yene ojira Nyamuzinda. 47 Kukwanine eyi ndêko yoshi emanye oku arhali ngôrho, arhali n’itumu Nyamubâho ahimamwo bulya ye Nnamatabâro, anabahanyire omu maboko girhu.»

48 Olya mufilistini ashigalika, ayisha afulêkera Daudi, naye Daudi alibirhira duba ebwa bigamba, anayisha abwandira akola ajilwisa olya mufilistini. 49 Daudi ahuma omu nshoho yage, ayankamwo ibuye, aligobeka omu muzareli gwage alityabula olya mufilistini omu busu, lyanacimuhobera omu k’amalanga akumbira obusu.

50 Ntyo n’omuzareti haguma n’enshangabuye Daudi ahima oyo mufilistini, amubanda anamuyirha. Daudi arhali agwerhe ngôrho.

51 Akanya alibirha, ahamirakwo Goliyati, amuyômola engôrho e lûba, amunigûzamwo anamutwa irhwe. 52 Abafilistini erhi babona entwali yabo ya mafa, bakûla omulindi bayaka. Nabo bene Israheli haguma na bene Yuda bacirhunika kulibo banayisha babanda orhuhababo, bacandabuka oku Bafilistini kuhika aha muhango gwa Gali na kuhika aha nyumvi za Ekroni. Enjira ya Sharayimi yayunjula mirhumba ya Bafilistini kuhika aha Gali n’aha Ekroni.

53 Erhi barhenga eyôla munda bàli bacandabusirekwo Abafilistini, baja omu birâlo byabo babihâha.

54 Daudi ayanka irhwe ly’oyo mufilistini alihêka e Yeruzalemu, n’emirasano yage ayijâna omu cirâlo cage.

Daudi muhimanyi ahêkwa embere za Saulo

55 Saulu erhi abona Daudi apamuka akola ajilwisa omufilistini, adesa  Abneri ye murhambo w’engabo yage, erhi: «Gula mushebenge ali mwene  ndi wani Abneri?» Abneri ashuza, erhi: «Yagirwa mbo kuyirha erhi nakamanya.»

56 Mwami aderha, erhi: «Dôsa, oyo musole ali mwenc ndi wani? »

57 Erhi Daudi ashubûka erya munda anayirhaga omufilistini, Abneri amurhôla amuhêka emunda Saulu ali, Daudi erhi anafumbasirage lirya irhwe ly’omufilistini.

58 Saulu arnudôsa, erhi: «Sho ye ndi, mwana?» Daudi anacishuza, erhi:

Obwira bwa Daudi na Yonatani n’oku ajiragwa murhambo w’abalwi

18

1 Erhi Daudi ayusa akushambâla bone Saulu, omurhima gwa Yonatani gwalungana  n’ogwa  Daudi,  Yonatani  amuzigira  nk’oku  acizigira yene.

2 Olwo lusiku lwonêne, Saulu ahira Daudi aha mwage, arhacizigaga mpu ashubire emwabo. 3  Yonatani anywana  boshi na Daudi  bulya amuzigiraga  nk’o

ku anacizigira yenene. 4 Yonatani ahogola ecishuli akazagiyambala aciha Daudi, kuguma na emirasano yage, ciru n’oli engôrho yage, ciru n’omuherho gwage n’omukaba gwage.

5 Daudi, ngasi aha Saulu anakazagimurhuma hoshi anabêrwe, ahime. Ntyo Saulu amujira murhambo w’engabo yage y’abalwi. Olubaga lwamurhonya bwenêne ciru n’abarhumisi ba Saulu.

Obumvu bwa Saulo kuli Daudi

6 Erhi engabo zija omu lugo, galya mango Daudi arhengaga oku matabâro, erya munda ayirhaga Omufilistini, abakazi bashagamuka omu bishagala byoshi bya Israheli, bayisha bayimba banasama, bahika emunda Mwami Saulo ali erhi banashagalusire, bayisha barhimba engoma baziha n’ennanga. ⁷ Abôla bakazi bayisha basama banayimba mpu: «Saulu ayisire bantu bage cihumbi na Daudi ayirha bantu bage bihumbi ikumi».

8 Saulu akunira, okwo kwamubabaza omurhima anaciderha, erhi: «Bahire Daudi  bihumbi  ikumi nani bamampa  ecihumbi! Bwami bone bucimusigalire!» 9 Saulu arhôndêra okulola Daudi n’isu libi kurhenga agôla mango.

10 Omu lusiku lwakulikiraga, omuko mubi gwa Nyamuzinda gwaja muli Saulu, arhôndêra okukahahabukira omu nyumpa yage. Daudi anaziha oku lulanga lwage anakomereraga okuziha na Saulu naye erhi afumbasire itumu lyage. 11 Saulu aderha, erhi: «Nkola natumirha Daudi itumu limuhangire kula nyasi». Ci Daudi abaduka acizibuka ye kabirhi kabirhi. ¹² Saulu ayobôha bwenêne Daudi bulya amabona oku Nyamubâho ali naye. Daudi arhenga aha mwa Saulu.

13 Saulu amuyegûla kuli naye, agendimujira murhambo wa bantu ba cihumbi. Daudi anakagenda anagaluka embere z’olubaga. ¹⁴ Daudi akabonekana muntu mulenga omu majira gage goshi erhi na Nyambubaho ali naye. ¹⁵ Saulu erhi abona oku Daudi ali mwenge bwenêne arhôndêra okumuyôboha. ¹⁶ Ci Israheli yeshi na Yuda bazigira bwenêne Daudi bulya akazagigenda anagaluka embere zabo.

Daudi ayanka Mikala mwali wa Saulu

17 Saulu anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Lola oku nkola nakuha mwali wani wa olubere ye Merabi abe mukawe; casinga oyemere okuba ntwali yani omu kulwa, na kandi okalwira Nyamubâho. Bulya Saulu akazagiderha, erhi: «Mashi irhondo ntahemukaga, ntamuyirhaga, casinga ayirhwe n’ Abafilistini».

¹⁸ Daudi ashuza Saulu, erhi: «Yagirwa ndigi muci n’omulala gwani guligi mulala muci omu Israheli obwo nagendiba mukwi wa Mwami?»

19 Ci agôla mango, ahali ha okuha Daudi oyôla munyere Merabi mwali wa Saulu, aba Hadriyeli w’e Mehola ye bamuha mpu abe ye muyanka.

20 Ci kwonene Mikala mwali wa Saulu asima bwenêne Daudi, ogwo mwanzi bagendigumanyisa Saulu, naye asima bwenêne. 21 Saulu akazagiderha omu murhima gwage, erhi: «Namuha ye gube murhego kuli ye Lyo na Abafilistini baha­ shimugwarha». Saulu anacibwira Daudi obwa kabirhi, erhi: «Ene waba mukwi wani». 22 Saulu akomêreza abambali, erhi: «Mugendibwira Daudi, ci arhamanyaga oku nie nakuderhaga mpu: ka orhabwini oku mwali wani akurhonyize n’abambali nabo bakurhonyize! Oyemere obe mukwi wage».

23 Daudi erhi ayumva ebyôla binwa abashuza, erhi: «Ka mumanyire  mpu kuli kunyi okuba mukwi wa mwami? Niono ndi mukenyi na wakugaywa omu bantu». 24 Abarhumisi ba Saulo bagendimubwira, mpu: «Byo binwa Daudi adesire ebira».

25 Saulu ashuza, erhi: «Mugendibwira Daudi, erhi: Mwami mpu arhalonza ngulo ci binyirha igana bya Bafilistini barhakembûlagwa lyo mwami acîhôla abashombanyi bage». Saulu ahûnaga ntyo bulya akazagilangalira mpu nkaba hali amango Daudi akagwarhwa omu maboko g’Abafilistini.

26 Abarhumisi ba mwami bagendibwira Daudi birya binwa bya mwami.

Daudi erhi ayumva ntyo, asima okuba mukvi wa mwami.

²⁷ Oku ensiku zirhacihika Daudi arhabala n’engabo yage arhera Abafilistini abahima anabayirhamwo bantu magana abirhi, abashugula ebinyirha birhakembûlagwa abirhtua mwami oku binali byoshi Lyo aba mukwi wa mwami.

28 Saulu abona anayumva oku Nyamubâho ali haguma na Daudi;  naye Mikala mwali wa Saulu azigira Daudi bwenêne. ²⁹ Saulu ayumva oku okuyôboha Daudi kwayûshuka. Saulu anacîyôrha mushombanyi wa Daudi ensiku zoshi.

30 Abarhambo ba Abafilistini bakayisha balilwa, na ngasi mango erhi bayishaga ntyôla Daudi anabahirekwo omuhero gwage na obukengere bunene kulusha abandi barhumisi ba Saulu. Ntyo izino lyage lyaja irenge bwenêne.

1 Saulu abwira omugala Yonatani na abambali boshi oku akola ayirha Daudi. Ci kwonene oyôla Yonatani mwene Saulu arhonyagya bwenêne

2 Yonatani ajimanyisa Daudi okwôla amubwira, erhi: «Larha Saulu  adwirhe  alonza  okukuyirha.  Ocilangage,   irhondo  sêzi  ohirigirhe   ogendicîfulika. 3 Niono nahuluka nshimbe larha omu cirhwa erya munda ocîfulisire. Nayisha naganiza larha ebikuyerekire nyumve bici bihali na buzinda nanayishikumanyisa».

4 Yonatani anacishambaza ishe Saulu oku biyerekire Daudi, anacimubwira, erhi: «Mâlshi mwami amanye akajira ecâha omu kuyirha omurhumisi wage Daudi, bulya yene nta mabi akujirire. Ciru na kandi, kali ebijiro byage byoshi biri bya bunguke bunene emwawe. 5 Afulumusire olufu erhi ayirha olya mufili

6 Saulu ayumva okwôla Yonatani amubwiraga, Saulu acigasha, erhi: «Ala

7 Yonatani ahamagala Daudi, anacimurhondêreza ebyôla binwa byoshi; buzinda Yonatani ayisha adwirhe Daudi emunda Saulu ali,  Daudi  ashubira Omu mukolo gwage nk’oku byanali.

Kandi Saulu ashubilonza okuyirha Daudi

⁸ Kandi entamabala yashubizûka, Daudi arhabâlira Abafilistini, abakozagya entambala bahimwa bwenêne, boshi abacandabukakwo bamuyaka.

9 Lero mûka mubi wa Nyamubâho anacirhogerakwo Saulu erhi anali omu mwage, itumu lyage erhi alifumabasire omu nfune; agôla mango Daudi erhi adwirhe aziha olulanga lwage. 10 Saulu acisimu za mpu akola arhimba Daudi li­ rya itumu limugalikc oku nyasi, ci Daudi acizibuka Lyo, lyagendigwarha omu nyasi. Daudi aciyakira.

Mikala afungira Daudi

11 Saulu arhuma engabo mpu bagendigorha enyumpa ya Daudi na hano bucanûla bamuyirhe. Ci kwonene Mikala muka Daudi amumanyisa oku kwo bamulalire ntyo, anacimubwira, erhi: «Akaha orhayasiri hunola hudufu, irho­ ndo sêzi erhi wafire».

12 Mikala ayanka Daudi amuYandagaza Omu kabonezo, Daudi alibirha, akanya ayaka.

13 Enyuma z’aho, Mikala ayanka ecibumburugu, acihira oku ncingo acibwikira n’omushangi gw’oboya bw’empene oku irhwe, buzinda acibwikira n’ogundi mushangi. ¹⁴ Erhi Saulu acirhuma engabo yagendigwarha Daudi, mukâge Mikala aderha, erhi: «Ali mulwala».

15 Lero Saulu arhuma entumawa yagendilola oku Daudi ayosire, anabako

mêreza, erhi: «Muyishe mumubarhwire lyo mpashimuniga».

16 Balya bantu bali barhumirwe banacija omu nyumpa, babona oku cibumburugu ciri oku ncingo, cibwikirwe n’omushangi gw’amoya g’empene ahali h’irhwe.

17 Saulu adôsa Mikala, erhi: «Carhumaaga onteba ntya, kandi wamayasa omushombanyi wani». Mikala ashuza Saulu, erhi: «Kali ambwira erhi: oleke ngende n’akaba arhali ntyo, nakuniga».

Daudi ayakira emunda Samweli ali e Rama

18 Daudi ayaka obwo, afuma Saulu. Aja emunda Samaweli ali e Rama anacimushambalira oku Saulu anamujiriraga koshi. Oku bundi bayimuka boshi

na Samweli baja e Nawiti. 19 Ogôla mwanzi bagumanyisa Saulu, mpu: «Ka wamanya oku Daudi ahika e Nawiti, omu Rama». 20 Saulu arhuma entumwa y’abagendigwarha Daudi, balya bantu bali barhumirwe, bashimana murhwe muguma gw’abalêbi badwirhe balêba, erhi na Samweli abayimangîre, omûka gwa   Nyamubâho  gwarhulakwo   balya   bantu  babo,  barhôndêra  okulêba.

21  Bakanya  bagendikumanyisa  Saulu,  naye  ashubirhuma  engabo  y’abandi ba

ntu nabo; erhi bahika, kwo na kulya barhôndêra okulêba. Ashubirhuma eyindi ngabo obwa kasharhu nabo kwo na kulya barhôndêra balêba. 22 Lero Saulu akanya  aja yene e  Rama.  Erhi ahika aha iriba linene liba aha Seku, adôsa erhi:

«Samweli  na Daudi ngahi bali? Bamushuza  mpu: «Lola e Nawiti omu  Rama».

23 Anacilikula akanya aja e Nawiti omu Rama. Naye omûka gwa Lungwe gwamurhulakwo arhôndêra aja eyi n’eyi analêba kuhika alinda aja aha Nawiti omu Rama. 24 Erhi aba amahogola emyambalo yage, naye akalêba embere za Samweli, yeshi alambûka bushugunu oku idaho. Abêra aho omulegerege n’o budufu boshi. Co cirhumire bahijûla mpu: «Kali Saulu naye analigi omu balêbi?»

cici najirire sho obu ahivulwire obuzine bwani ntya?».

2 Yonatani amushuza, erhi: «Orhashibiriraga orhafe, Larha arhankajira akantu arhanambwiziri kabe kanene erhi kasungunu; cankarhumaga anfulika okwôla? Mâshi harhali cici».

³ Daudi alahira aderha erhi: «Sho amanyire bwinja  oku ontonya  bwenêne, co cirhumire aderha erhi kurhakwanini akumanye, bulya Yonatani ashuba amanya kwa bene okwo kwanamubabaza bwenêne. Ci kwonene Nyamubâho aganze nawe wene oganze! Nkubwire, hacisigire hisungunu hyone nfe.»

4 Yonatani abwira Daudi erhi: «Oku omurhima gwawe gubwine kuli kwinja nakujirirakwo».

5 Daudi anacibwira Yonatani, erhi: «Lola oku irhondo omwezi gwabaluka, ngwasirwe mbêre aha burhambi bwage amango gw’okulya; ci ondeke ngendicîfulika omu lubala kuhika oku lusiku lwa kasharhu. ⁶ Erhi sho ankakudôsa ogwani, onamubwire, erhi: «Daudi anampunyire oluhusa mpu aja duba duba e Betelehcmu omu cishagala cabo, bulya mwa gano mango bagwerhe enterekêro ya ngasi mwaka omu mulala goshi. ⁷ Akaderha erhi: kwoko! mwambali wawe anaba n’omurhûla. Ci kwone erhi wankabona akunira bwenêne, onamanye oku niono mwambali wawe nahigirwe okufa.

⁸ Mâshi ocizagye mwambali wawe, bulya omanyire oku izino lya Nyamubâho wahizire erhi olêrha mwambali wawe hano mwawe. Akaba hali okubi najizire wene obe we onyirha, bulya bicigi byankarhuma ompeka emunda sho ali?

9 Yonatani amushuza, erhi: «Mâshi omurhima gwa bene ogwo ogukwebe kuli bwenêne, bulya erhi nakayumva oku hali obubi larha ahizire okukujirira, kurhigi ntankakumanyisa?»

10 Daudi anacishuza Yonatani, erhi: «Ndi wanakamanyisagya obwo oku sho

anakushuzize na ebinwa bikali?»

11 Yonatani anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Kanya rhuje rhwagera omu mashwa rhwembi». Banacihuluka baja omu mashwa bombi. ¹²Yonatani anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Okuli, oku izino lya Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wa Israheli, akaba irhondo erhi lisirhondo, nayenja larha oku binwa bikuyerekire, n’akaba bigendesire bwinja kuli we Daudi, n’erhi akaba ntalisiri entumwa eje emunda oli, 13 Nyamubâho ananjire kubi anakunyushulire niono Yonatani akaba ntakumayisizi. larha erhi ankahiga okukujirira amabi, nanakumanyisa nkubwire oyake onacigendere n’omurhula, na ntyo Nyamubâho ayôrhe ali haguma na nawe nk’oku ali haguma na larha! 14 Na erhi akaba ncirimwo omûka, ka wakabula kunyereka obwinja bwa Nyamubâho? Ci kwonene erhi nankafa, ka wanayibagiraga lwoshi omulala gwani obwo? Na kandi nka Nyamuzinda amamalîra abashombanyi ba Daudi hanôla igulu, 16 k’izino lya Yonatani linakolaga lyahirigirha omu nyumpa ya Daudi? Akaba arhali ntyo, ecihango ca Nyamubâho cinakuyirhe wani Daudi!» 17 Yonatani ashubicîgasha obwa kabirhi embere za Daudi oku amuzigira nk’oku azigira iroho lyage .

18 Yonatani anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Irhondo ly’omwezi gukola gwabaluka, babona oku ntebe yawe kurhali ndi, 19 oku lusiku lwa kasharhu, lero abantu banabona okwôla bwinja, lero ahôla wanafululuka halya wali ocifulisire mw’ezira nsiku z’entambala yawe, kandi  wanagendiyimanga hofi n’ibuye  lya Ezeri. ²⁰ Ahôla nanalasha myampi ibirhi olunda lwa lirya ibuye, abe nka kuyumbiza nayumbiriza yo nalonza. ²¹ Kandi, oyumve, nayishirhuma omwana nti akanye agendinongcza emyampi yani. Nkabwira oyôla mwana nti agendintôlera eyôla myampi enali olunda lwawe, aho wanayisha erhi buli buholo kuli we, aganze Nyamubâho. 22 Ci kwonene erhi nakabwira oyo mwana nti akanye arhaluke agendintôlera era myampi eri olunda lwawe, Ahôla wanayaka bulya erhi Nyamuzinda oyôla odesire mpu oyake. 23 Na kuli ebyôla binwa rhushambire rhwembi, Nyamubâho yene ye na muhamirizi ekarhî kirhu rhwembi.

24 Daudi ajagicîfulika omu lubala obwo. Erhi omwezi gubaluka, bajaga oku cibo mpu balye. 25 Nk’oku banakomereraga, mwami atamala oku ntebe yage ayegemire olukuta; Yonatani atamala embere, naye Abneri atamala aha bu rhambi bwa mwami Saulu. Entebe ya Daudi yayôrha konene. 26 Saulu arhaderhaga kanwa mw’olwo lusiku, bulya amacikebwa mpu: «Nkaba hali okubi kwamuhonire, erhi nkaba arhali acire bulya arhali acicîyobôla». 27 Olusiku lwa kabirhi lw’okwo kubaluka kw’omwezi, kandi entebe ya Daudi yayôrha konene; lero Saulu adôsa omugala Yonatani, erhi: «Bici birhumire mwene Yese arhayishiri oku cibo oli njo oli ene?»

²⁸ Yonatani anacishuza erhi: «Daudi ampunyire bwenêne okudungira e Betelehemu.

29 Arnbwira, erhi: rnashi nkusengire oleke ngende bulya rhugwerhe enterekêro y’ornulala goshi ornu cishagala na mukulu wani asezize mpu rnpab e; erhi waliha ombabalire kuli okwo kurhayisha, nagendilola bene wirhu, Kwo kurhumire arhali oku cibo ca mwami okôla».

“Ahôla oburhe bwa Saulu bwanaciyaka bwenêne kuli Yonatani anacirnu bwira, erhi; «Oyu rnwana w’ecishungu-kazi na ndyalya, ka  kuhaba  rnpabire oku kurhenga mira mwene Yese akola aba mwira wawe, ziri nshonyi zawe n’obushugunu bwa nyoko. 31 Bulya oku mwene Yese anaciba  hanola  igulu ntako mwalama oli we oli obwami bwawe. Na bunôla orhumage abagendimungwarhira bulya ali mwana wa kuyirhwa».

32 Yonatani anacishuza ishe Saulu, erhi: «Carhuma afa obwola, bubi buci

ajizire?»

³³ Saulu akubula iturnu mpu akola atumirha Yonatani. Amanyira ahôla oku ishe anarhôzire omuhigo gw’okuyirha Daudi. ³⁴ Yonatani ayimuka kulya cibo analubire bwenêne, arhalyaga cici mw’olwo lusiku lwa kabirhi lw’okubaluka kw’omwezi; n’ecarhumaga kwali kufa Daudi mungo, bulya ishe akola amuhigi re.

³⁵ Erhi buca, Yontatani akanya aja omu cirhwa nk’oku banayumvanyagya boshi na Daudi, ali alusibwe na hyana higuma hya hirhabana. 36 Anacibwira hirya hyana hyage, erhi: «Kanya ojikantôera emyarnpi yani nakazilasha». Yonatani anacilasha ornwarnpi gwayumbira kurhaluka olya mwana. ³⁷ Erhi olya mwana ahika halya omwampi Yonatani alashaga gwali gwagwa, Yonatani ayakuza olya mwana, erhi: «K’ornwampi gurhali kuli  kulusha  aha oli obwo?» 38 Yonatani anaciyakuza olya mwana erhi: «Kanya duba orhaciyimangaga!» Olya rnwana wa Yonatani arhôla gulya mwampi, ashubira ernunda nnawabo ali; nyamwana  arhacikebagwa  cici. 39 Yonatani  boshi  na  Daudi  bone  bali  bamanyire kwo kuderha  kuci okwôla. ⁴⁰  Yonatani ayanka erya rnirasano yage ayiha

nyamwana, anacimubwira, erhi: «Kanya oheke eka». 41 Erhi olya mwana aba arnagenda, Daudi ayirnuka halya ali acifulisire, ayisha ayubika amalanga oku idaho afukamiriza kasharhu, kandi bahôberana ngasi muguma alakira  oku wabo kuhika Daudi amusengaruka.

42 Yonatani anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Ogendage n’ornurhûla. Binabage  kulya rhwagashanaga oku izino lya Nyamubâho galya mango rhuderha nti: Nyamubâho abe hagurna na nani na nawe, abe haguma n’iburha lyani  n’iburha lyawe, emyaka n’ernyaka».

4 Ka ntaco ogwerhe buno? Mpa nani migati irhanu erhi nisi akandi kantu

5 Omudâhwa ashuza Daudi, erhi: «Ntagwerhi yindi migati ya kulibwa okuleka eyira migati migishe yône. Casinga erhi abo bana bakayiryakwo barhabaga bacihemwire n’abakazi.»

6 Daudi ashuza, erhi: «Neci omukazi kali kantu karhuhanzibwe kurhenga mira, injo na lishinjo, nka naja oku matabâro emirasano y’abana bani eri kantu kagishe, ciru akaba mpu amabalamo gone garhali magishe, kurhigi ene ebyo birugu birhankaba bitakatifu kulusha?»

7 Oku bundi omudâhwa ayanka emigati migishe amuhereza, bulya arhali agwerhe yindi erhali migishe, eyôla migishe yonene bali bamarhenza embere za Nyamubâho, bayigombôla n’eyindi eciri midurhu.

8 Muli olwôla lusiku ahôla hali muntu muguma w’omu barhumisi ba Saulu, ye wali ogwasirwe okuhêra embere za Nyamubâho, izino lyage ye Doegi, muntu w’e Edomu, ye wali lungere w’abangere ba Saulu.

9 Daudi adôsa Abimeleki, erhi: «Ka orhagwerhi itumu kandi erhi ngôrho? bulya ntarhôzire ciru n’ôi engôrho yani nisi erhi eyindi mirasano yani bulya irhegeko lya mwami lyali lya dubaduba».

¹⁰ Omudâhwa amushuza, erhi: «Hali engôrho ya Goliyati olya Mufilistini wayirhiraga omu kabanda ka Terebinti, yone eyôla eri mbwikire n’ecishuli enyuma ly’ecishuli c’omudâhwa. Okalonza okuyirhôla, rhôlayo, bulya nta yindi eri muno». Daudi anacishuza erhi: «Nta yindi eyilushire, mpayo».

Emunda Daudi ajaga ayakira

1 Daudi arhenga ahôla kandi, agendicifulika omu lwa Adulami. Bene wabo n’abandi b’omu mulala gw’ishe boshi bamanya okwo, nabo bayandagalira eyôla munda ali. ² Ngasi boshi bali omu mbaka, ngasi boshi bali erhi balire emyenda ya bene na ngasi bandi banali omu bukunizi bunene, abôla boshi bashigira Daudi ahôla: aba ye okola murhambo wabo, boshi bahika omu

bantu magana ani.

3 Kurhenga aho, Daudi aja e Mispa emwa bene Mowabu, anacihûna omwami w’eyôla Mowabu erhi: «Nkusengire nani mashi waliha, oleke abala babusi bani, larha na nyama bajibera emwawe kuhika mmanye bici Nyamuzi­ nda annongezize. ⁴ Anaciyisha abadwirhe emwa olya mwami w’e  Mowabu, nabo banacibera aha mwage muli agôla mango goshi Daudi anali ahôla hantu hazibuzibu.  ·

⁵ Omulêbi Gadi abwira Daudi: «Orhabêraga ahala hantu hazibu-zibu hone, ci oje wacigezageza omu Yuda wanagaluka. Daudi akanya aja omu muzirhu gwa Hereti.

Saulu ayirha abadâhwa b’e Nobi

6 Saulu amanya oku abantu bayishi bwinja olwa Daudi n’abantu bali boshi haguma naye. Muliagôla mango erhi Saulu abwarhire aha Gibeya idako ly’e bishakashaka oku karhondo n’itumu lyage omu nfune, abambali boshi bayisha bamuyimanga eburhambi. ⁷ Saulu abwira abôla bambali bali bamuyimanzire eburhambi, erhi: «Yumvagi wani bene Benyamini: ka mwene Yese anakolaga ayishimugabira mweshi amashwa, amuhe n’enkorna z’emizabibu, ka muma nyire mpu ayishibajira barhambo b’ebihumbi n’aba amagana. ⁸ Carhumaga mweshi mucinyihindulira, ebwa kuba nta ciru n’omuguma wamanyisize oku mugala wani anywanine boshi na mwene Yese na ntaye muli mwe okwôla kwababazize, ciru ntaye wampwehusire oku mugala wani adwirhe ankoza kuli mwambali wani, nfire omu mirhego nk’oku munabwine bunôla.»

9 Doegi w’e Edomu, ali ayimanzire haguma n’abandi barhumisi ba Saulu, anaciderha erhi: «Nabwine mwene Yese aja aha Nobi, emwa Abimeleki mugala wa Ahitubu. ¹⁰ Agendimudokeza embûko emwa Nyamubâho, amuha ebi aciyikiraga na ciru amuha erya ngôrho y’olya Mufilistini Goliyati».

11 Mwami arhuma abagendihamagala Abimeleki mwene Ahitubu, na omulala gw’ishe goshi bo badâhwa babaga e Nobi. Boshi banaja emunda mwami ali. ¹² Saulo anacibadôsa, erhi: «Yumva wani mwene Ahitubu!» Naye erhi:

«Karame waliha!».

¹³ Saulu aderha, erhi: «Carhumaga ocinyihindulira, w’oyo  mweshi  na mwene Yese galya mango wamuhaga umugati n’engurho kandi wagaligendimudokeza embûko emwa Nyamuzinda lyo ankozakwo amatumu n’okunjirira mirhego nk’oku munabwine adwirhe ajira bunôla?»

14 Abimeleki ashuza mwami amubwira. erhi: «Ombwire nani ndi omu ba­ rhumisi bawe oli aka omwikubargirwa Daudi mukwi wa Mwami, murhambo wa abasirika balanga mwami yene na kandi muntu ojire irenge bwenêne omu mulala gwage? 15 Ka, ene Lyo narhangiraga okugendikamudokeza embûko e­ mwa Nyamubâho? Nanga okola kurhanjagakwo! Mwami amanye akaderha mpu akola ambarhuza okwo nie n’omulala gwani goshi, bulya omurhumisi wawe arhayishigi okwôla ciru n’ehitya.»

16 Mwami aderha, erhi: «Abimeleki kukwanine ofe we na omulala gwa

sho».

17 Mwami abwira abalibisi bali aha burhambi bwage, erhi: «Hindamuki muyirhe abala badâhwa ba Nyamubâho, bulya nabo boshi bali njira nguma na Daudi: bali bamanyire oku aja ayaka barhananmanyisagya aha ali»! Ci abôla barhumisi ba mwami barhalonzagya okulambula okuboko mpu bayirhe abadahwa ba Nyamubâho.

18 Lero mwami abwira Doegi, erhi: «Hindamuka, w’oyu, oyirhe aba badâhwa». Doegi olya munya-Edomu ahindamuka, ye wayisirage abadâhwa; muli olwo lusiku ayirha bantu makumi gali munani  na barhanu,  bantu  bali bayambi

‘

rhe ebishûli  by’enondwè.  19    Mwami  ahehêrera  olwo  lugo lwa  Nobi, lwabaga lugo lwa badâhwa: abalume, abakazi, abana bakola bayushuka, ciru n’orhubonjo, kuguma n’enkafu, endogomi n’ebibuzi byabo abimalira oku bwoji bw’engôrho. 20 Mwene Abimeleki mugala w’Ahitubu muguma yene wafumire muli bo izino lyage ye Abiyatari, acijira emunda Daudi ali. 21 Abiyatari anacirhôndêra aganirira Daudi okwôla Saulu anayirhaga abadâhwa ba Nyamubâho. 22 Daudi abwira Abiyatari erhi: «Neci nali mmanyire oku kwo byanaba ntyo erhi mbona olya munya-Edomu ali halya lulya lusiku, nabona oku okunali agendimanyisa Saulu. Nie ntumire abôla bantu b’omulala gwa sho boshi bafà. 23 Ombêrage ho nani, orhayôbohaga cici, bulya ohigire akalamo kani ye nahigire na akawe kalamo, ci amango onaciri haguma na nani, erhi onalanzirwe bwinja.»

4 Daudi akanya ashubigendidôsa Nyamubâho, Nyamubâho amushuza ntyala, erhi: «Yimuka, oyandagalire e Keyila bulya abôla Bafilistini nabahizire omu maboko gawe ene».

11 Ka abantu b’e Keyila bayishimpana omu maboko gage obwo? Ka Saulu anayisha ayandagire nk’okwo mwambali wawe ananayumvagya obwo? Yagirwa Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda w’Israheli hanûla mwambali wawe naye mâshi!» Nyamubâho anashuza, erhi: «Ayandagala».

¹⁵  Daudi amanya oku Saulo ashubiizize engabo mpo kuhika ayirhe Daudi.

¹⁹ Abantu b’e Zita basôkera emunda Saulu ali aha Gibeya banacimubwira, mpu: «Daudi, k’arhali emwirhu acibêra acifulisire omu hantu hazibuzibu, aha Horesha, oku karhondo  ka  Hakila,  olunda  lw’ifo  ly’entondo  ebwa  bishaka. 20 Obungulukagc mâshi yagirwa mwami nk’oku omurhima gwawe gunadwirhe gwacifinja; rhwayishimuhira rhwene omu maboko ga mwami».

21 Saulu  anaciderha,  erhi: «Mugishwe  na Nyamubâho okuba  mwanfire bwonjo

  22 Gendagi, mmuhunyire, muje mwalongereza mumanye bwinja  ngahi ahika na ndi wamubwine ahôla: bulya akacikebwa naye ananjirira omurhego.

24 Banaciyimuka bagenzikanwa boshi na Saulu bamulongolana e Zifa. Ci kwone Daudi  n’engabo yage erhi  bacibêrire  omu irungu  lya Maoni, omu kaba

Saulu amanya omwanzi, ashimbûlira Daudi omwola irungu lya Maoni. 06 Saulu ajaga agera lunda luguma lw’eyôla ntondo, naye Daudi boshi n’abantu bage baja bagera olundi lunda lw’entondo. Daudi hali amango ajaga akanyiriza lyo afuma Saulu, naye Saulu boshi n’engabo yage bakazagilonza oku bankagorhamwo Daudi boshi  n’engabo yage lyo babagwarha boshi.

27 Entumwa yanaciyisha emunda Saulu ali yanacimubwira, erhi: «Mâshi

1 Daudi ayinamuka eyôla munda, agendicibêrcra ahantu ha amahukulu haderhwa Engedi. 2 Amango Saulu arhengaga eyôla munda ali ajirilwisa Abafilistini, bamubwira mpu: «Lola oku Daudi akola acibêrire omu irungu lya Engedi.» 3 Saulu arhôla bantu bihumbi bisharhu balya banali balenga na ntwali bakulwa muli bene Israheli boshi, akanya aja alonza Daudi n’abambali balinda bahika oku mabuye gabinjirwe nka mahembe ga nshagarhi. 4 Anacihika aha bakazagiyabulira ebibuzi hofi n’enjira; Ahôla habaga obulumba. Saulu anacija muli bulya bulumba mpu arhamukizamwo amagulu. Kuziga erhi Daudi boshi n’abambali mwo bacitamalire, oku  kafendefende  kw’obwo  bulumba. 5  Bambali ba Daudi banacimubwira mpu: «Lola lulya lusiku Nyamubâho akubwiraga erhi: «Ala oku namakuha omushombanyi wawe. Omujirirage kulya onabwine kuli kwinja». Daudi ayimuka bufunda-funda, atwa oku cikwi c’ecishuli ca Saulu.

6 Oku anayusijira ntyo omurhima gwa Daudi gwadûrha bwenêne bulya amatwa oku cikwi c’ecishuli ca Saulu. 7 Anacibwira abambali erhi: «Mâshi Nyamubâho anyegule nani kuli obubi bwa bene obula, nta mango nankahumakwo Nnawirhu, omushigwa wa Nyamubâho.»

8 Na ebyola binwa, Daudi atwa omu muhigo gw’abambali arhacibayemêreraga okucihunika kuli Saulu. Saulu azûka arhenga mulya bulumba alikula ahuma enjira yage agenda.

9 Naye Daudi erhi aba amarhenga muli bulya bulumba, arhôndêra ahama

gala Saulu, erhi: «Ewe, Yagirwa mwami!» Saulu akabagana enyuma zage, naye Daudi ayunama afukamiriza.

¹⁰ Daudi anacibwira Saulu, erhi: «Yagirwa cirhuma okaziyemêreza bala bantu bakazikushumika kuli nie mpu Daudi alonza okukuyirha?

11 Wene n’amasu gawe, wamacibonera kurhi Nyamubâho amakuhira omu maboko gani muli obula bulumba. Nalahire nti ntakakuyirha, nti ntankahumakwo Nnawirhu, bulya ali mushigwa wa Nyamubâho.

¹³ Obuhamirizi bw’oko, lola oku nfumbasire  ecirho  c’ecikwi  c’ecirondo cawe. N’ebwa kuba natwire oku cikwi c’ecirondo cawe ntanakuyisire, wanamanyira ahôla oku ntagwerhi murhima gwa bubi buci, nta haguma nkubihire. N’okwôla kurharhumiri wehe orhaja wampivahiva mpu kuhika onyirhe.

13 Nyamuzinda yene abe ye muhamirizi ekarhî kirhu rhwembi, yene anabage mwihôzi ci kwonene ntakakuhumakwo. 14 Aba mira banatwe mugani mpu: Ababi bo banahonya amabi! Ci kwonene nta mango okuboko kwani kwankakuhumakwo. 15 Ndi omwami w’Israheli anali arhabalire ntyala? Ndi oshimbulire ntya? Kabwa ka mufiriri? Ciherhe?

16 Nyamubâho yene arhutwire olubanja, alola yene, yene ye wanansambira,

yene ye wananyeza emunda oli»!

17 Daudi erhi ayusibwira Saulu ebyôla binwa, Saulu amudôsa, erhi:  «Ka linali izu lyawe eryo mwana wani Daudi?» Saulu ecifufu camugwarha, ayama alaka.

18 Anacibwira Daudi erhi: «Wamaba mushinganyanya kundusha: bulya wehe wamangalulira aminja n’obwo niehe mabi nakujirire. 19 Neci oyerekine oku minja onjirira bulya Nyamubâho anali ampanyire omu maboko gawe, ci kwonene wehe orhacinyisire. 20 Erhi lebe ankagwanyanya omushombanyi wage, k’ankacimuleka mpu ahume enjira yage agende? Nyamubâho akugalulire aminja kuli agala minja wamanjirira ene. 21 Namabonaga buno oku neci we wanaba mwami w’Israheli n’obwami bwawe bwagandaza omu Israheli.

22 Cinyigashirage, oku izino lya Nyamubâho, oku orhakahungumula omulala gwani mango nabe nafire n’oku orhakaherêrekeza izino lyani omu mulala gwa larha».

23 Daudi acigasha embere za Saulu, Saulu arhôla enjira yage ashubira emwage. Naye Daudi boshi n’engabo yage bacisôkera bashubira omu mahukulu gabo.

Okufa kwa Samweli

1 Oku bundi Samweli anacifa, olubaga lwoshi lwashubuzanya, bamushiba bwenêne, bamubisha omu ishwa lyage aha Rama. Enyuma ly’aho,

Daudi alikûla ayandagalira omu irungu lya Parani.

Daudi ayinjira Abigayila muka Nabala

2 Aha Maoni habaga muntu muguma wakazagirhimbûlira e Karmeli. Oyo muntu abaga mugale bwenêne, ali agwerhe bibuzi bihumbi bisharhu na mpene cihumbi muli agôla mango erhi e Karmeli, alijirikembûlaa amoya g’ebibuzi

byage. 3 Oyo muntu izino lyage ye wali Nabala n’engoli yage ye wali Abigayila. Nyamukazi abaga mwirhonzi bwenêne na w’iranga  linja. Ci iba abaga muntu wa kazizi n’omu bijiro byage muntu mudarhi. Oku bûko bwage abaga wa kuli bene Kalebu.

4 Daudi ayumviza omwôla irungu oku Nabala adwirhe akemba amoya g’ebibuzi byage.

⁵ Daudi arhuma bana bage ba misole ikumi, anacibwira balya bana b’emisole, erhi: «Mukanye musôkere e Karmeli, muje aha mwa Nabala; mumumpere omusingo.»

6 Munayishimubwira, erhi: «Oku kalamo kawe, murhula kuli we, murhûla oku mulala gwawe na murhûla oku ngasi byoshi onajira. 7Nayumvirhe bambwira mwa zinôla nsiku oku oli n’abakembi. Ci omanyage  oku  abangere bawe bakazagiyabulira emunda rhuli, rhurhanabajiraga gurhi, n’amango goshi bakazagiyabulira e Karmeli, nta cintu cabo cahezire. 8 Odôsagye abôla bambali bawe bonene banakushambalire bwinja. Abala bana bani kuziga obalole kwinja, bulya rhwamayisha omu lusiku lukulu. Nsengire, ohe abala barhumisi bawe kuguma na mugala wawe Daudi ngasi ehi okuboko kwawe kwankanabona».

9 Balya bana ba Daudi banacija emwa Nabala, banacimushambalira birya binwa barhumagwa na Daudi, batamala barhamûka. 111 Nabala ashuza balya bambali ba daudi ababwira, erhi: «Daudi ali muci, n’oyo mwene Yese ali muntu muci? Bali mwandu mwa ganôla mango abaja bali bashugunuka ba nnahamwabo. 11 Kali nkolaga nayanka oku mugati gwani, oku mîshi  gani  n’oku nyama nabâgiraga abala bali kembûla amoya g’ebibuzi byani, mbihage abantu ntishi bali ba ngahi?

12 Balya bambali ba Daudi bahindamuka bacishubirira  emwabo  na  erhi  baba bamahika emwabo barhôndereza nnawabo kulya byabire kwoshi. ¹³Oku bundi Daudi anacibwira engabo yage, erhi: «Ngasi muguma muli mwe ayambale engôrho yage!» Boshi banaciyambala ngasi muguma engôrho yage na Daudi naye ayambala eyage ngôrho; balume hofi magana ani basôka boshi na Daudi, bandi ba magana abirhi basigala oku birugu.

14 Ci mw’agôla mango, muguma omu barhumisi ba Nabala akanya ajibwira Abigayila muka Nabala, erhi: «Ka orhabwini oku Daudi ashuba arhumire entumwa kurhenga omu irungu kuja enôla munda mpu bayishilamusa nnawirhu ciyehe amabacinagiza. 15 N’obwo aba bantu babaga bantu binja kuli rhwe, ba­ rharhujiriraga kurhi n’omu bîntu birhu, ntaco n’eciguma cahezire amangorhwanakazagigenda rhweshi nabo, ago mango rhwanali omu mpinga. 16 Bo bakazagirhulanga mushi na budufu, rhukola rhuyabwire ebibuzi birhu.

17 Ci kwonene bunôla omanyage onalole kurhi wajira, bulya balalire okuheza nnawirhu n’omulala gwage; yehe ali mwene Beliyali!»

18 Oku bundi obwo, Abigayila akanya ashana migati magana abirhi, ahirakwo rhubindi rhubirhi rhwa idivayi, bibuzi birhanu biyende, mishoko irhanu ya ngano nkalange,  ajira nsisi  igana za mizabibu  na zindi  magana  abirhi  za mitini.

 ¹⁹Endogomi zabihêka, anacibwira abana bage b’emisole, erhi: «Shokolagi oku nani nayisha». Ci kwonene arhabwiraga iba Nabala cici. ²⁰ Erhi akola ayandagala, aligi oku ndogomi  yage, erhi ahika omu cigonzi c’entondo,  tundu kuli Daudi n’engabo yage babungulukiraga emunda ali.

21 Daudi ayishaga acidesa, erhi: «Kwo kumbonesa nshonyi kurhi oku wani: niono nakazagilanga ngasi bîntu oyu mulume ali agwethe omu irungu byoshi,  na ntaco ciru n’eciguma cahezire omu bîntu byage byoshi yehe amangalulira amabi oku minja! 22 Mâshi Nyamuzinda  ayirhe  anaherêrekeze  abashombanyi ba Daudi boshi. Omu ngasi ebi Nabala ajira byoshi namunyaga, ntamusigalize akantu, hano sêzi erhi arhacigwerhi akantu muli ebi bîntu byage biganga oku nyasi”

23 Oku Abigayila anarhinda kwo Daudi ntyala, Abigayila ashonoka dubaduba oku ndogomi yage, afukama ayunamiriza embere za Daudi akamalanga kahika oku idaho. 24 Oku bundi nyamukazi acirhimba aha magulu gage amubwira, erhi: «Mâshi yagirwa nie nabihire, obubi bunali bwani! Amarhwiri gawe gayumve ebinwa bya mwambalikazi wawe, waliha oyumve oku mwambalikazi wawe akubwira. 25 Muhanyi orhashibiriraga okôla kulogorha kwa mwene Beliyali, yerigi Nabala bulya izino linamanyise obworhere bw’omuntu, ntyôla banakaderha mpu musirhe, erhi kwo binali, isirhe limubamwo. Ci kwonene nie onôla mwambalikazi wawe ntabwine abôla bambali bawe wali orhumire. 26 Ci yagirwa muhanyi, oku irenge lya Nyamubâho, oku irenge ly’iroho lyawe, Nyamubâho anakuhanzize okubulaga omuko, na ntyôla mpu ebi olagirirekwo ocihebyo wenene n’okubûko kwawe. Na bunôla abanzi bawe na ngasi boshi bakulongeza amabi yagirwa, bakaba aka Nabala mâshi! 27 Lolaga olula luhembo lusungunu mwambalikazi wawe adwirhire nnawirhu muhanyi lwanahashihabwa abala bana balusize nnawirhu. 28 Obabalire,  nkusengire yagirwa obubi bwa mwambalikazi wawe, bulya okuli, Nyamubâho atugikiza buzibu enyumpa ya Nnawirhu. Bulya nnawirhu ali oku matabâro ga Nyamubâho  na  nta bubi babona buli muli we omu nsiku zawe. 29 Erhi hankajira owacishomya mpu akurhêra, anakuyirhe, iroho lya nawirhu lyanabonerwa omu irhu lya halya balama hofi na Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wawe,  n’iroho  ly’abashombanyi bawe, analiyôha kuli n’engondôzo.

³⁰ Amango Nyamubâho anayukirize galya minja alaganyagya nawirhu na hanola aba amakusimika mwami omu Israheli, 31 gurhabaga mulenge na kafulo kanene mpu wabulazire omuko buzira cirhumire cinene ci mpu lyo obona e byakurhabâla. Ntyo amango Nyamubâho anakushobôze agôla minja goshi oyibuke mwambali-kazi wawe naye.

32 Daudi anacishuza Abigayila, erhi: “Aganze Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda w’Israheli owakurhumaga emunda ndi. “ Obu bukengere bwawe bukonkwa na nawe wene kwokwo bulya wamancîka okuhulaga omuko ene omu kulonza okuciha akantu n’okuboko kwani! 34 Ci naye ayagirwe Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda w’Israheli, owancîkaga okukujirira amabi okuli nka orhacîsezagya okuyisha duba eno munda ndi. Nabala aha mwage burhankacire erhi haciba akantu kaganga oku nyasi.

35 Daudi anaciyemera okuyankirira lulya luhembo nyamukazi ali amurhuzire anacimubwira, erhi: «Sôkeraga emwawe n’omurhûla, nyemire okwôla osengire, namashagaluka n’obusu bwawe».

36 Abigayila ayinamuka ashubira emwa Nabala, ashimana adwirhe ajirisa

olusiku lukulu yeshi erhi anarhwangusire analalusire okurhankaderhwa. Arhamubwiraga akantu, ciru n’ehitya kuhika bwaca. 37 Ci erhi buca, Nabala amarhenga mw’erya ndalwe yage, mukâge aba lyo amuganirira ebyôla byabire. Nabala yeshi asikirira omurhima gwaba muzibu nk’ibuye. ³⁸ N’erhi kugera hofi nka nsiku ikumi, Nyamubâho arhingamira Nabala, afa.

³⁹ Erhi babwira Daudi ogw’olwo lufù lwa Nabala, aderha, erhi: «Ayagirwe Nyamubâho owamatwa olubanja lwa kulya najaciragwa na Nabala na kandi amabulilanga omurhumisi wage alekijira okubi. Ci obubi Nabala ajiraga, Nyamubâho amamuhirimizabwo oku irhwe lyage.» Enyuma  ly’okwôla,  Daudi alika entumwa yagendibwira Abigayila oku alonza okumuyinjira.

40 Bambali ba Daudi banacilikula baja emunda Abigayila ali, aha Karmeli, banacimubwira mpu: «Daudi arhuhumire emunda oli n’okukubwira  oku  alonza okukuyinjira.»

41 Nyamukazi anaciyimuka, afukama afukamiriza, ak’amalanga kahika oku idaho, anacishuza erhi: «Lola oku mwambalikazi wawe akola aba mujakazi w’okukashuka amagulu g’abarhumisi ba Nnawirhu».

42 Abigayila acikurumanya duba duba, ashonera oku ndogomi yage, bananyere barhanu omu banyere bage bamuyimiza n’amagulu; akulikira balya bali barhumirwe na Daudi, agendiba ntyo muka Daudi.

⁴³ Daudi ayanka kandi Ahinowami w’e Yisreeli, oku banali bombi bashuba bakâge.

44 Ci kwonene agôla mango, Saulu ali erhi amayanza Mikala, owali muka Daudi, amuha Palti w’e Galimi, mwene Layishi.

1 Abantu b’e Zifa baja emunda Saulu ali aha  Gibeya  banacimubwira mpu: «Ka orhamanyiri erhi Daudi acîfulisire omu karhondo ka Hakila

olunda lw’amashaka?”

2 Saulu ayimuka ayandagalira ebwa irungu lya Zifa, ali adwirhe engabo ya bantu bihumbi bisharhu balya bali balwi bakulu omu bene Israheli, mpu bajage bashakula Daudi omwôla irungu lya Zifa. ³Saulu ahanda oku karhondo ka Hakila, ebushoshokero bw’izûba  olunda  lw’amashaka  hofi  n’enjira.  Daudi muli agôla mango erhi aciberire omu irungu. Daudi amanya oku Saulu ayisha amuhivahiva omu irungu. 4 Daudi arhuma abaj’ishamba banajimubwira oku Saulu neci anahisire ahôla hantu.

5 Daudi anaciyimuka ahika halya Saulu ali ahizire ecirâlo. Daudi abona ahantu Saulu ali agwishire boshi n’omurhambo w’engabo yage ye  Abneri mugala wa Neri. Saulu ali agwishire ekagarhi n’engabo yamuzunguluka.

⁶Daudi anacibwira Abimeleki boshi na Abishayi mugala wa Seruya, mulumuna wa Yowabu, ababwira, erhi: «Ndi walonza okunkulikira rhuyandagalire mula cirâlo ca Saulu?» Abishayi ashuza erhi niono nabunguluka rhwembi.

7 Daudi boshi na Abishayi banacibungulukira muli cirya cirâlo budufu bukulu, lola oku oyo Saulu abali ekagarhî, erhi alangusire n’iro, itumu lyage ligwike aha mushego gwage. Naye Abneri haguma n’olubaga bali bagwishire eburhambi bwage.

⁸ Obwo Abishayi anacibwira Daudi, erhi: «Lola oku Nnâmahanga oyula wamahira omushombayi wawe omu maboko gawe; bunôla nkuhunyire, oleke mmushinge itumu liguma lyonene lirya lyamubamba oku idaho ntanaci shubirize”.

9 Ci Daudi ashuza Abishayi erhi: «Nanga omanye wankamuyirha, bulya ndi wankahumakwo omushigwa wa Nyamubâho anabule kujira ecâha?» 10 Daudi aderha, erhi: «Alame Nyamubâho! Nyamubâho yene wanamuyirhe; kwanabe amango olusiku lwage lwamahika, ahôla anafa, nisi erhi aderhe mpu aya ndagalira oku matabâro lero anabe yo afira». 11 Ci Nyamubâho annange oku kuhuma oku mwami wage w’ishungwe. Orhôlage bunôla eryo itumu liri oku mushego gwage, kuguma n’eyo ntendere y’amîshi rhunacigendere».

12 Daudi anacirhôla oku mushego gwa Saulu lirya itumu n’erya ntendere, banacihuma enjira yabo bagenda. Ntaye wabwine, ntaye wazusire, bulya boshi bali iro, bulya boshi Nyamubâho amabarhogezakwo iro lizirho.¹³ Daudi ayikira erindi ishiriza, agendiyimanga kuli oku irhwerhwe ly’entondo, ecirêre cinene cali ekarhî kabo. 14 Daudi anacibirikira olubaga boshi na Abneri aderha, erhi: «K’orhanshuze obwôla wani Abncri mwene Neri.» Abneri ashuza, erhi:«We ndi oyôla wabera mwami irhwe ntyola wani?»

15 Daudi anacibwira Abneri, erhi: «Ka orhali mulume bulya? Ndi olinganine na nawe omu Israheli? Carhumirage orhalanga mwami, nnahamwinyu? Bulya hali muguma w’omu lubaga wali oyishire okuyirha mwami, nnawinyu.

16 Mâshi arhali kwinja okwôla wajizire. Oku izino lya Nyamubâho wali okwanine olufu we muntu orhamanyirilanga nnawinyu, omushigwa wa Nyamubâho. Lolaga bunôla ngahi liri lirya itumu lya mwami n’erya ntendendêrè yage y’amîshi yali omu mushego gwage?»

17 Saulu amanyîrira izu lya Daudi, anacimubwira, erhi: .«K’arhakanaba izu lyawe eryo, mwana wani Daudi?» Daudi anacishuza, erhi: «Neci izu lyani eryo waliha mwami Nnawirhu”. 18 Anaderha, erhi: «Yagirwa bici nnawirhu ashimbîre omurhumisi wage? Bici najizire na bubi buci bundikwo?

19 Yagirwa, mwami nnawirhu, okalonza oyumvagye bunôla ebinwa bya mwambali wawe: Akaba Nyamubâho okunsunisirekwo, neci ayankirire e enterekêro y’obuhumule bwinja. Ci akaba bantu bakunsunikirekwo, mâshi bakahehêrerwa na Nyamubâho obûla baja bampivulula mpu bamperêrekeze omu kashambala ka Nyamubâho ebwa kuderha mpu ogende ojilolera ba nyamuzinda b’ahandi. 20 Ci bunôla, mâshi omuko gwani gurhabulajikiraga oku idaho kulî n’obusu bwa Nyamubâho mâshi! Bulya mwami w’Israheli aj’ahîvulula enguku nka kulya bankahîva enkwale omu ntondo».

21 Saulu ashuza, erhi: «Najizire ecâha, ci ogalukage mwana wani Daudi bulya ntacikujire kurhi, bulya wayerekine oku wakenzire obuzine bwani.»

22 Daudi ashuza, erhi: «Alaga itumu lyawe waliha mwami; muguma omu barhumisi ayikirage ayishilirôla. 23 Nyamubâho yene agalulira ngasi muguma okukwanine n’obushinganyanya bwage bulya Nyamubâho ali  akuhizire  ene omu maboko gani ci ntalonzize okuhira okuboko kwani oku mushigwa wa Nyamubâho. 24 Olole, nka okula obuzine bwawe buli bwa lukengwa omu masu

gani, kwo n’obwani buzine bwaba bwa lukengwa omu masu ga Nyamubâho, ye wanandikûza oku ngasi mabi goshi.

²⁵ Saulu ashuza Daudi, erhi: «Ogishwe mwana wani Daudi! Wakayôrha wajira ntyola onarhabaluke okunali. Daudi ahuma enjira, naye Saulu ahi­ ndamuka ashubira emwage.

ngabo yawe.»

2 Daudi anacishuza, erhi: «Neci waliha ene wabona ebi mwambaliwaweabamwo.» Akishi anacibwira Daudi erhi: «Niono nkola nakujira murhambo w’okukandalira n’okulanga obuzine bwani ngasi mango»!

Saulu n’omukazi mugeremwa

3 Obwôla Samweli anacifa, bene Israheli bamushiba banamubisha aha Ra­ ma omu lugo lwabo. Ci muli agôla mango erhi Saulu arhegesire mpu bayirhe ngasi boshi balaguza n’okurherekêra abazimu omu cihugo.

4 Erhi Abafilistini baba bamashubûzanya bagenditwa olugerêro aha Shune mu, naye Saulo ashubûza  bene Israheli  boshi,  bacumbika  nabo aha Gilibowa.

5 Saulu oku anabona ntya olugerêro lw’Abafilistini, ayôboha, entemu yamuja oku murhima. ⁶ Saulo akanya ajidôsa Nyamubâho, ci nta kuguma Nyamubâho amushuzize  oli omu  bilôrho oli omu  lujimbi, oli omu bugeremwa.

7 Lero Saulu anacibwira abambali, erhi: «Gendi munnongeze omukazi w’omugeremwa nje emwage mmudose.» Abambali banacimushuza mpu: «AhaEndori hoki haba mukazi muguma, oharhûla abazimu.»

⁸ Saulu agoshôla ayija, ci bwifulikwe, erhi ahogwire emyambalo yage aliyambirhe, ayamhala yindiyindi, bambali bage babirhi banacimulusa bahika budufu aha mw’olya mukazi. Saulu anacimubwira, erhi: «Mâshi onyôlere ensambwe, nkuyôlere emihigo onanzukize oyu nankakakubwira».

⁹ Oyo mukazi anamushuza erhi: «Ala oku wene nawe oyishi  ebi  Saulu ajizire omu cihugo, omanyire kurhi anigûzagya omu cihugo ngasi boshi bahêra abazimu na ngasi boshi balaguza. Cirhumirage oyishi ntega mpu lyo onyisa.»

10 Saulu amulahirira oku izino lya Nyamubâho, aderha, erhi: «Alame Nya

mubâho ozine, niehe ananyirhe, okwôla kukakulerhera omutuko».

11 Nyamukazi anacimudôsa, erhi: «Indi olya nakuhamagalira?» Anacishuza

erhi: «Ompamagalire Samweli.»

12 Lero nyamukazi anacibona Samweli, kwarhuma nyamukazi afuduka anayama bwenêne abwira Saulu, erhi: «Carhumaga onteba ntyala? Kali we Saulu!»

¹³   Mwami anacimushuza, erhi: «Orhayôbohaga, ci kwonene cici wabwine?»

Olya  mukazi  abwira Saulu erhi: «Namabona omuntu  afununuka  omu idaho.»

14  Saulo amudôsa,  erhi: «Enshusho  yage  kurhi eyosire?»  Nyamukazi erhi:

«Mushosi wayisha arherema anacihundikire ecishuli.» Saulo amanya oku Sa

mweli oyo, anacifukama ayunama ayunamiriza.

15 Samweli anacibwira Saulo erhi: «Cirhumire odwirhe wansholoshonza obûla warhuma nashubiyinamuka?» Saulo ashuza, erhi: «Waliha ndi nendyagane nyinji omu murhima: Abafilistini bantezire, na Nyamuzinda anacîyegwire kuli nie; ntaho adwirhe anshugiza, oli oku balêbi, oli oku bilôrho. Nakuhamagire nti ombwire kurhi najira.»

16 Samweli amushuza, erhi: «Cankarhuma wandôsa n’obwo Nyamuzinda aciyegwire kuli we, aba omu winyu mw’aja. 17 Nyamubâho anajizire nk’oku anakubwiraga n’akanwa kâni. Nyamubâho akunyazire obwami abuha owinyu Daudi.

18 Na cirhumire bulya orhakagiyumva izu lya Nyamubâho, walekaga okuherêrekeza bene Amaleki nk’oku Nyamubâho anali abakunirire. Co cirhumire Nyamubâho akujirira kwoshi ene. 19 Ciru Nyamubâho akuhâna mpira we  na bene Israheli boshi emwa Abafilistini.»

20 Irhondo mweshi na bagala bawe mwanshanga eno, na Nyamubâho ahâna engombe ya bene Israheli emwa Abafilistini. 21 Aho honene, Saulo  acîrhimba oku idaho n’obulî bwage boshi, bulya ebinwa bya Samweli byamamujugumya bwenêne; ciru na kulusha aho, yeshi arha emisi, bulya arhalicihira akalyo ekanwa muli ogwôla mulegerere gwoshi na muli obwôla budufu bwoshi. 21 Nyamukazi ashubira halya Saulo ali, ci erhi acibona ayôbohire bwenêne, amubwira erhi: «Mwambalikazi wawe anajizire nka oku wamurhumaga, nahizire  omûka gwani omu maboko gawe omu kujira nk’oku wambwiraga.

22 Ci nawe oyumvagye bunôla izu lya Mwambalikazi wawe: Ka nankahasha okukuhêreza ecihimbi c’omugati ocilye ly’obona emisi hano ogenda?»

23 Ci Saulo ahakana anaderha erhi: «Ntalya». Abambali bombi n’olya mukazi banacimuseza mpu alye, naye anaciyumva akanwa kabo. Ayimuka oku idaho, atamala oku ntebe.

24 Nyamukazi ali gwerhe omudege gwage mwinjinja, agubaga dubaduba, anaciyanka  enshano,  ayishengeshera,  anacijiramwo  emigati  erhalimwo  lwango. 25 Ayisha adwirhe birya biryo byoshi abihêreza Saulu boshi n’abambali, nabo banacilya. Banaciyimuka, balala bagenda obwôla budufu boshi.

1 Abafilistini bashubûgiza engabo zabo zoshi aha Afeki, naye Israheli erhi ahanzirage aha iriba lya Yizreeli. 2 Oku abarhambo b’Abafilistini balongoline, baguma amagana, abandi ebihumbi, Daudi naye abayisha oku nyuma bone Akishi, abarhambo b’Abafilistini, banaciderha mpu: «Abala bayahudi kwo kuderha kurhi?» 3 Naye Akishi anacishuza balya barhambo b’Abafilistini erhi: K’arhali olya Daudi washigaga mira Saulo, Mwami w’Israheli oyo, na buno akola anshiga, hamagera ensiku ciru n’emyaka? Ntasagimubonakwo kantu ka kuyobohya kurhenga amango atwikaga nnawa

bo, kuhika oku lusiku lw’ene.»

4 Balya barhambo b’Abafilistini bacigakabula kuliye, banacimubwira mpu:

«Ogalulage oyo muntu ashubire omu ishwa lyage wamutuliraga, omanye wankaderha mpu ayishe na nirhu oku matabâro, bulya hali amango ankarhugolonjoka, obone akola mushombanyi warhulwisa. Ka bantu bali ahala? 5 Karhali olya Daudi oyula bayishaga bayimbira banasama mpu: Saulu ayisire bage cihumbi, na Daudi ayirha amakumi gage bihumbi?»

6 Kuli okwôla Akishi ahamagala Daudi anacimubwira, erhi: «Nyamubâho aganze! Neci kwo kunali oli muntu mushinganyanya, nsimire okubona rhwagenda rhwembi oku matabâro, bulya nta hibi nakubwinekwo kurhenga amango wayishiginshiga kuhika ene. Ci abarhambo b’ Abafilistini barhakusimiri. ₇ Ku­ziga kuli kwinja ocishubirire emwawe n’omurhûla, halikiba ebyarhuma washombwa n’abarhambo b’Abafilistini.»

8 Daudi anacidôsa Akishi erhi: «Ci kwonene yagirwa, hibi hici obwine najizire galya mango nayishigikushiga kuhika oku lw’ene, kwankarhuma ntagendilwisa abashombanyi ba Mwami Nnawirhu?»

9 Akishi ashuza, anabwira Daudi, erhi: «Oyishi oku omu masu gani oli mwinja nka malahika wa Nyamuzinda. Ci kwonene abarhambo b’Abafilistini balahire mpu orhankasôkera oku matabâro haguma nirhu.  ¹⁰ Co carhuma  irhondo mucêracêra, we n’abala bambali ba nnahamwinyu bayishaga haguma nawe ogende. Mugende lubungubungu, irhondo bunacanûla ntya, munagende.»

11 Daudi boshi n’abambali bazûka lwifusèfusè, mpu lyo hano bunacanula ntya, bahasha okugaluka omu cihugo c’Abafalistini; nabo balya Bafilistini basôkera aha Israheli.

Daudi acihola kuli bene Amaleki

1 Daudi bone engabo yage, erhi bahika aha Sikilagi oku lusiku lwa kasharhu, bashimana bene Amaleki bahyajire amahirinji g’e Sikilagi; bali

erhi bahagwire Sikilagi yeshi, erhi banamudulisire muliro. 2 Bali erhi bahesire mpira abakazi na ngasi bandi balimwo boshi, abarho n’abakulu buzira okuyi rha omuntu ciru n’omuguma, habalongôlana bacigendera. ³ Daudi bone ahambali, oku banarhinda omu lugo, bashanga luli ludulike muliro, na bakabo boshi n’abana babo erhi babagendine buja. 4 Daudi haguma n’engabo yage bagwira omulenge, balaka bene Israheli kuhika bahwerwa n’emisi y’okulaka. 5 Balya baka Daudi bombi, nabo erhi bahesirwe buja, bo bali Ahinowami wa Yizreeli na Abigayila w’e Karmeli, olya wali muka Nabala.

⁶ Daudi amagala gamulya bwenêne, bulya olubaga lwali lwamahiga mpu lukola lwamuyirha, bulya lwoshi lwali erhi lwafire omurhima omu kubona abana babo b’abarhabana n’abanyere bahesirwe. Ci Daudi ashubiyumva omu rhima gw’oburhwali muli Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wage.₇ Daudi anacibwira omudâhwa Abiyatari mwene Ahimeleki, erhi: «Nderheraga ecishuli c’abadâhwa.» Abiyatari ayisha adwirhire Daudi cirya cishuli.

⁸ Daudi anacidôsa Nyamubâho, erhi: «Waliha, ka nkulikire guno muzinzi gw’abantu? Ka nanabagwarha obu?» Anacimushuza erhi: «Obashimbe bulya okunali wabahikakwo n’okunali wabalikuza.»

9 Daudi akanya boshi na balya bantu bage magana nka galindarhu. Erhi bahika oku mugezi gwa Besori, abali bamarhama boshi bayimanga.

10 Daudi akulikira balya bantu n’engabo yage ya bantu magana anni, bulya magana abirhi gamasigala enyuma erhi kurhama kurhuma, barhaciyikiraga ogwôla mugezi gwa Besori.

11 Banacishimana muntu muguma w’e Misiri omu ndimiro, bayisha bamudwirhire Daudi, bamuha omugati n’amîshi anywa. 12 Banacimuha oluhande lw’omugati gw’emitini n’amangaka mumu. Erhi aba amalya, ashaluka, obukengere bwage bwagaluka bulya amayusa miregerege isharhu na madufu asharhu arhalya arhananywa.

¹³ Daudi amudôsa erhi: «Oli mwambali wa ndi? Na ngahi emwinyu?» Naye ashuza erhi: «Ndi muntu w’e Misiri, muja w’omunya-Amaleki muguma,  lola oku zikola nsiku isharhu zino kurhenga nahamwirhu andesire mpu okwenge namalwala. 14 Rhwayishire rhwahagula omu mahirinji g’emwa bene Kereti, kandi rhwaja omu ga Yuda, rhwayikirira emahirinji ga bene Kalebu, rhwayoca Sikilagi.»

15 Daudi amudôsa erhi: «Ka orhankampisa eyo munda ogwôla muzinzi gujire obwo?» Olya muntu ashuza erhi: «Orhangindahirira oku izino lya Nyamuzinda, erhi orhayishinyirhe, nisi erhi orhayishimpane emwa Nnahamwirhu, na ahôla nanakulongola na emunda ogwôla muzinzi guli.»

16 Anacimulongolana, na lola oku abantu bali bashandabine boshi omu lugo badwirhe balya banaywa, kwo kujira olusiku lukulu na birya byoshi bahagula ga omu cihugo c’ Abafilistini n’eca Yuda. 17 Daudi abalwisa anabahima kurhenga bijingo oku cirembabaja kuhika oku bijingo bya olundi lusiku. Abahima loshi, ntaye wafumire mulibo okuleka bana ba misole magana anni gone, bashonera oku ngamiya zabo baciyakira. 18 Daudi arhesa ntyo birya bene Amaleki bali bamanyaga, kuguma na balya bakâge bombi. 19 Barhabalekeraga ciru n’akantu kaguma muli birya bananyagaga byoshi, oli omu bikulu oli omu birho, oli akarhabana oli akanyere, barhabalekeraga ciru n’eciguma muli birya bananyagaga byoshi: Daudi abigalula byoshi. 20 Daudi ayanka ebîntu bishwekwa byoshi ebinene n’ebinyinyi, banacimuheka embere z’obwo buso, banaciderha mpu: «Go munyago gwa Daudi ogôla».

21 Daudi erhi akola ashubûka ayirukira halya bantu magana abirhi banyakurhama bali basigire oku mugezi gwa Besori. Bayishiyankirira Daudi na lulya lubaga lwayishaga boshi naye. Erhi Daudi  abahikaho  abalamusa.  22  Abantu bali bagwerhe omurhima mubi guli nka gwa bene Beliyali, muli balya banali bagenzire boshi naye baja omu kanwa baderha mpu: «Bulya barhali haguma nirhu, rhurhabahe akantu muli ebira bîntu rhwamarhesa; okuleka ngasi muguma na mukâge n’abana bage. Babarhôle bagende.

23 Ci Daudi abashuza erhi: «Arhali kwo rhwakajira ntyôla bene wirhu oku bîntu Nyamubâho arhuhaga. Bulya yene wajaga warhulanga, yene warhuhaga gulya muzinzi gwali rhuyishire. 24 Ndi wankabayumva omu bîntu bya bene ebyôla? Nanga, mwanya muguma kuli boshi oku bali erugamba, kuguma nka abali oku mizigo: boshi bahabwe kuguma.»

25 Kurhenga agôla mango na kuhika bunôla likola irhegeko omu Israheli ye shi.

²⁶ Erhi bashubira e Sikilagi, Daudi aja arhumira abira bage b’abashamuka

b’omu Yuda kuli birya by’omunyago, akababwira erhi: «Lolagi oluhembo kuli mwe, luli kwa birya byanyagagwa abashombanyi ba Nyamubâho.»

27 Arhumira abantu b’e Betuli, ab’e Rama y’omu Negebu. 28 Arhumira abira bage b’e Yatiri, aba e Aruweri, aba e Sifemoti n’aba e Eshitemowa.

29 Arhumira ab’e Karmeli, ab’e Yerameheli, ab’omu ngo za Keniti na Horma. 30 Arhumira ab’e Bor-Ashani, ab’e Heteri, 31 arhumira ab’omu Hebroni n’aba ngasi aha Daudi anagezire hoshi ye n’engabo yage.
