uSamuweli 1 uSamuweli 1-28 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uSawule ubuza imimoya yabafileyo

1Ngelo xesha amaFilisti ahlanganisana ndawonye ukuba alwe noonyana bakaSirayeli. Wathi uAgise kuDavide, Yazi ukuba uya kuya nam emfazweni, wena namadoda akho.

2Wathi uDavide kuAgishe, Ewe, uya kuyazi into eya kwenziwa ngumkhonzi wakho. Wathi uAgise kuDavide, Ngenxa yoko ndikwenza ube ngumveleli wentloko yam ngamaxesha onke.

3Wafa ke uSamuweli; ammbambazelela onke amaSirayeli; amngcwabela eRama emzini wakowabo. uSawule wabakhupha oomoya babafileyo namagqwirha ezweni.

4Ahlanganisana ke amaFilisti, eza amisa iintente eShunem; uSawule wawahlanganisa onke amaSirayeli, wamisa eGilibhowa.

5Wayibona uSawule impi yamaFilisti, woyika, yagubha intliziyo yakhe kunene.

6Wabuza uSawule kuYehova, akamphendula nangamaphupha, nangeeUrim, nangabaprofeti.

7Wathi uSawule kubakhonzi bakhe, Ndikhangeleleni inkazana enomoya wabafileyo, ndiye kuyo, ndibuze kuyo. Bathi abakhonzi bakhe kuye, Nankuya umfazi e-Enedore enemimoya.

8uSawule wazenza mntu wumbi, wambatha ngubo zimbi, wahamba enamadoda amabini, baya kufika kuloo ntokazi ebusuku; nyuka, ndikubize.

9Yathi inkazana leyo kuye, Yabona, uyayazi nawe into ayenzileyo uSawule, ukuba ebebatshabalalisa oomoya abangasekhoyo namagqwirha ehlabathini; Yiyo le nto uwuthiyele umphefumlo wam, ukuze ndife?

10uSawule wamfungisa uYehova, wathi, NgoYehova ovayo iimbaleki zakho aziyi kuba netyala kuwe.

11Yathi inkazana leyo, Ndithume bani na kuwe? Wathi, Ndiziseleni uSamuweli.

12Yambona inkazana uSamuweli, yakhala ngezwi elikhulu; Yatsho inkazana leyo kuSawule, yathi, Undixokile na? ngokuba unguSawule wena.

13Wathi ukumkani kuye, Musa ukoyika, ngokuba ubonile? Yathi inkazana kuSawule, Ndibone kunyuka izithixo emhlabeni;

14Wathi kuye, Ungowabani na? Wathi, Kuzalwe indoda enkulu; kwaye uzigqume ngengubo. Waqonda uSawule ukuba nguSamuweli lowo, waqubuda kuye, waqubuda.

15Wathi uSamuweli kuSawule, Yini na ukuba undikhathaze ngokundivusa? Wathi uSawule, Ndibandezelekile kakhulu; ngokuba amaFilisti esilwa nam, uThixo undishiyile, anisayi kuba sandiphendula ngabaprofeti namaphupha; ke ngoko, ndikubizile, ukuze ube nokundazisa emandikwenze.

16Wathi uSamuweli, Yini na ukuba undibuze, uYehova ekushiyile nje, wasuke walutshaba lwakho?

17uYehova wamenzela njengoko wakuthethayo ngam; uYehova ubukrazule ubukumkani esandleni sakho, wabunika obakho, Davide.

18Ngenxa yokuba ungaliphulaphulanga ilizwi likaYehova, ungawuvumelanga umsindo wakhe ovuthayo kuma-Amaleki, kungenxa yoko le nto uYehova enjenje kuni namhlanje.

19Ngaphezu koko, uYehova uya kumnikela uSirayeli kunye nawe esandleni samaFilisti; ngomso wena noonyana bakho nibe nam; uYehova uya kuyinikela imikhosi yakwaSirayeli esandleni samaFilisti.

20Wawa emhlabeni kwaoko uSawule, woyika kunene ngamazwi kaSamuweli, akwabakho mandla kuye; ngokuba ubengadlanga sonka imini yonke, nobusuku bonke.

21Yeza inkazana leyo kuSawule, yabona ukuba ukhathazeke kakhulu, yathi kuye, Yabona, umkhonzazana wakho uliphulaphule izwi lakho, ndawunikela umphefumlo wam esandleni sam, ndaweva amazwi akho owandixelela wona.

22Liphulaphule izwi lomkhonzi wakho, ndibeke iqhekeza lesonka phambi kwakho; udle, ube namandla ekuhambeni kwakho.

23Akavuma ke esithi, Andiyi kudla. Bamnyanzela abakhonzi bakhe kwanenkazana leyo; waliphulaphula ilizwi labo. Uphakame phantsi wahlala ebhedini.

24Ke kaloku inkazana leyo yayinethole elityetyisiweyo endlwini; waxovula kamsinya, wathabatha umgubo, wawosa ngawo, wosa izonka ezingenagwele ngawo.

25Wabeka phambi koSawule naphambi kwabakhonzi bakhe; badla ke. Bavuka ke bahamba ngobo busuku.
