Ubuhlobo bukaDavide noYonatan

1 Wabaleka uDavide eNayoti ngaseRama, weza, wathi phambi koYonatan, Ndenzé ntoni na? Buyini na ubugwenxa bam? Síyini na isono sam phambi koyihlo, ukuba angxamele umphefumlo wam nje?

2 Wathi yena kuye, Makube lee oko; akuyi kufa. Uyabona, ubawo akenzi nenkulu into, nencinane into, angayityhileli indlebe yam; ubawo uyifihleleni na ke le nto kum? Akunjalo.

3 Wafunga phezu koko uDavide, wathi, Uyihlo uyazi kakuhle ukuba ùndibabale; ùthi, Makangakwazi oku uYonatan, hleze abe buhlungu. Inene, ehleli nje uYehova, uhleli nje umphefumlo wakho, ngathi sisithuba esinye sokunyathela esiphakathi kwam nokufa.

4 Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Into oyithethayo umphefumlo wakho, ndiya kuyenza.

5 Wathi uDavide kuYonatan, Uyabona, iya kuthwasa inyanga ngomso; ndifanele ukuhlala nokumkani, ndidle; ndíndulule, ndiye kuzifihla endle, kude kuhlwe ngosuku lwesithathu.

6 Ukuba uyihlo uthe wandifuna, wòthi wena, Úcele kum wandibongoza uDavide, ukuba agidime aye eBhetelehem emzini wakowabo; ngokuba kukho umbingelelo weminyaka ngeminyaka apho, owenzelwa umzi wonke wakowabo.

7 Ukuba uyihlo uthe, Kulungile: koba kuluxolo kumkhonzi wakho. Ke ukuba uthe wavutha kakhulu ngumsindo, yazi ukuba úgqibe kwelobubi.

8 Ngoko ke uze umenzele inceba umkhonzi wakho; ngokuba umngenisé emnqophisweni kaYehova umkhozi wakho lo nawe. Ke ukuba buthe bakho kum ubugwenxa, ndibulale wena ngokwakho; yini na ukuba undise kuyihlo?

9 Wathi uYonatan, Makube lee kuwe; ukuba ndithe ndazi kakuhle ukuba ubawo ugqibe kwelokuba ufikelwe bububi, ndibe ndingekuxeleli na?

10 Wathi uDavide kuYonatan, Hi, ukuba uyihlo ukuphendule kalukhuni, ndoxelelwa ngubani na?

11 Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Hamba, siphume siye ezindle. Baphuma bobabini baya ezindle.

12 Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli! Xa ndithe ndamgocagoca ubawo malunga neli xesha ngomso nangomsomnye, kwabonakala ukuba kulungile kuDavide, ndaza andathumela kuwe, ndiyityhilele indlebe yakho:

13 makenjenje uYehova kuYonatan, makaqokele ukwenjenje. Xa kuthe kwalunga kubawo ukuba akwenze ububi, ndoyityhilela indlebe yakho, ndikundulule, uhambe unoxolo; uYehova makabe nawe, njengokuba ebenobawo.

14 Wanga ungáthi, ukuba ndisaphilile, undenzele inceba kaYehova;

15 ungàthi, ndakufa, uyinqumle inceba yakho endlwini yam nanini, ungènjenjalo nasekuzinqamleni kukaYehova iintshaba zikaDavide zonke ngazinye, ebusweni bomhlaba.

16 Wanqophisana ke uYonatan nendlu kaDavide, esithi, UYehova makakubuze ke oku esandleni seentshaba zikaDavide.

17 Waphinda uYonatan ukumfungisa uDavide ngokumthanda kwakhe; ngokuba ebemthanda njengomphefumlo wakhe.

18 UYonatan wathi kuye, Ngomso iya kuthwasa inyanga; ùya kubuzwa, ngokuba isihlalo sakho siya kuba sodwa.

19 Ngomhla wesithathu uze uhle kamsinya, uye kuloo ndawo wawuzifihle kuyo ngemini yomsebenzi lowa, uhlale ecaleni lelitye le-Ezeli;

20 ndizitolele ecaleni lalo iintolo zontathu, ndinge ndizixunela etekenini.*

21 Yabona, ndiya kumthuma umfana, ndithi, Yiya, uzithabathe iintolo. Ukuba ndithe kumfana, Nanzi iintolo, zinganeno kwakho, zithabathe: wòza wena; ngokuba koba kuluxolo kuwe, akukho nto, ehleli nje uYehova.

22 Ke ukuba ndithe kwindodana leyo, Nanzo iintolo zingaphaya kwakho: hamba, ngokuba uYehova woba ukundulule.

23 Ke ilizwi eliyá silithethileyo mna nawe, yabona, uYehova uphakathi kwam nawe kude kuse ephakadeni.

24 Wazímela ke uDavide ezindle. Yathwasa inyanga; wahlala ukumkani esidlweni ukuba adle.

25 Wahlala ukumkani esihlalweni sakhe njengezinye izihlandlo, esihlalweni saseludongeni. Wesuka wema uYonatan. Wahlala uAbhinere ecaleni likaSawule, yayodwa indawo kaDavide.

26 Akathetha nto uSawule ngaloo mini; ngokuba ebesithi, Uhlelwe yinto; àkahlambulukile, inene, akahlambulukile.

27 Kwathi ngengomso, iselithwasile nenyanga ngosuku lwesibini, ayaba namntu indawo kaDavide. Wathi uSawule kuYonatan, unyana wakhe, Yini na ukuba angezi kudla unyana kaYese nayizolo nanamhla?

28 UYonatan wamphendula uSawule, wathi, UDavide ucele kum, wandibongoza ukuba aye eBhetelehem;

29 wathi, Khawundiyeke ndiye; ngokuba kukho umbingelelo wemizalwane yakowethu ekhaya; ke yena umkhuluwa wam undiwisele umthetho; kaloku ukuba ùndibabale, makhe ndigidime, ndibone umkhuluwa wam. Kungenxa yoko angezanga etafileni yokumkani.

30 Wavutha ke umsindo kaSawule kuYonatan, wathi kuye, Nyana wegwenxakazi eligwilikileyo, andazi yini na ukuba unyana kaYese ùmnyulele ukuba abe lihlazo lakho, nehlazo lobuze bonyoko?

31 Kuba yonke imihla, unyana kaYese aya kudla ubomi ngayo emhlabeni, akuyi kuqiniseka wena nobukumkani bakho. Thumela ngoko, umzise kum, ngokuba engumntwana wokufa.

32 UYonatan wamphendula uSawule uyise, wathi kuye, Yini na ukuba abulawe? úfa ngani na?

33 USawule wabinza ngentshuntshe ukuba atsho kuye. Wazi uYonatan, ukuba uyise ugqibe kwelokuba ambulale uDavide.

34 UYonatan wesuka ke etafileni evutha ngumsindo; akadla kudla ngomhla wesibini wenyanga; ngokuba ubebuhlungu ngoDavide, kuba uyise ubemhlazisile.

35 Kwathi ngengomso, waphuma uYonatan waya ezindle, ukuba ahlangane noDavide, enomfana omncinane.

36 Wathi kumfana, Khawubaleke, uzithabathe iintolo endizixunayo. Umfana wabaleka; ke yena wazixuna iintolo, ukuze zigqithe kuye.

37 Wafika umfana kuloo ndawo belukuyo utolo abeluxunile uYonatan. Wamemeza uYonatan kumfana, wathi, Nalo ngaphaya kwakho utolo.

38 Wamemeza uYonatan kumfana, wathi, Khawuleza, ngxama, musa ukuma. Umfana wakwaYonatan waluchola utolo, waluzisa enkosini yakhe.

39 Umfana ubengazi nto. NguYonatan noDavide ababeyazi loo nto.

40 UYonatan wayinikela impahla yakhe umfana lo abenaye, wathi kuye, Hamba uyise ekhaya.

41 Waya umfana lowo.Wesuka uDavide, evela ecaleni langasezantsi, wawa ngobuso emhlabeni, waqubuda izihlandlo zozithathu; bangana, balilelana, wada uDavide watsho kakhulu.

42 Wathi uYonatan kuDavide, Hamba unoxolo; makume esikufungele igama likaYehova thina sobabini, sisithi, UYehova makabe phakathi kwam nawe, naphakathi kwembewu yam nembewu yakho, kude kuse ephakadeni. Wesuka ke wahamba. Ke uYonatan waya ekhaya.
