4 Wathi uDavide kuyo, Kuthekeni na? Khawundixelele. Yathi, Hayi, babalekile abantu ekulweni; kananjalo kuwé into eninzi yabantu, yafa; kananjalo uSawule, noYonatan unyana wakhe, babulewe.
5 Wathi uDavide kwindodana ebimxelela, Wazi ngani na, ukuba uSawule ufile, noYonatan unyana wakhe?
6 Yathi indodana ebimxelela, Kuthe ukuthi gaxa kwam, ndafika ezintabeni zaseGilibhowa; nanku uSawule ayame ngentshuntshe yakhe; nabo abeenqwelo zokulwa nabamahashe bethene mbende naye.
7 Uthe akubheka, wandibona, wandibiza; ndathi, Sendikho.
8 Wathi kum, Ungubani na? Ndathi kuye, NdingumAmaleki.
9 Wathi kum, Khawume phezu kwam, undibulale, ngokuba ndiphelelwe; kuba andikafi kanye.
10 Ndema phezu kwakhe, ndambulala; ngokuba bendisazi ukuba akayi kuba saphila emva kokuwa kwakhe. Ndathabatha isithsaba esibe sisentlokweni yakhe, nesacholo esibe sisengalweni yakhe; ndizise zona apha kwinkosi yam.
