11 Kodi amuna a ku Keila adzandipereka m'dzanja lace? Kodi Sauli adzatsikira ndithu, monga mnyamata wanu wamva? Yehova Mulungu wa Israyeli, ndikupemphani, muuze mnyamata wanu. Ndipo Yehova anati, Adzatsika.
12 Tsono Davide anati, Kodi amuna a ku Keila adzandipereka ine ndi anyamata anga m'dzanja la Sauli? Ndipo Yehova anati, Adzakupereka.
13 Potero Davide ndi anyamata ace, ndiwo monga ngati mazana asanu ndi limodzi, ananyamuka, naturuka ku Keila, nayendayenda kuli konse adakhoza kuyendako. Ndipo anauza Sauli kuti Davide wapulumuka ku Keila; iye naleka kumtsata.
14 Ndipo Davide anakhala m'cipululu m'ngaka, nakhala m'dziko la mapiri m'cipululu ca Zifi. Ndipo Sauli anamfunafuna masiku onse, koma Mulungu sadampereka m'dzanja lace.
15 Ndipo Davide anaona kuti Sauli adaturuka kudzafuna moyo wace; Davide nakhala m'cipululu ca Ziti m'nkhalango.
16 Ndipo Jonatani mwana wa Sauli ananyamuka, napita kwa Davide kunkhalangoko, namlimbitsa dzanja lace mwa Mulungu.
17 Ndipo iye ananena naye, Usaopa; cifukwa dzanja la Sauli atate wanga silidzakupeza; iwe udzakhala mfumu ya Israyeli, ndipo ine ndidzakhala wotsatana nawe, icinso Sauli atate wanga acidziwa.
