1 Samuweli 30UDavide namadoda akhe baya eZikilagi

1Kwathi uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikilagi ngosuku lwesithathu, ama-Amaleki ahlasela eningizimu leZikilagi, anqoba iZikilagi, ayitshisa ngomlilo;

2Bathumba abesifazane ababekulo beyiziboshwa;

3UDavide nabantu bakhe bangena emzini, bheka, wawushisiwe ngomlilo; omkabo namadodana abo namadodakazi abo bathunjwa.

4UDavide namadoda ayenaye baphakamisa amazwi abo, bakhala, baze bangabe besaba namandla okukhala.

5Nabafazi bakaDavide ababili bathunjwa, u-Ahinohama waseJizreyeli no-Abigayili umkaNabali waseKarmeli.

6UDavide wacindezeleka kakhulu; ngoba abantu babekhuluma ukumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba imiphefumulo yabantu bonke yayinomunyu, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenxa yamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe; kepha uDavide waziqinisa ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

7UDavide wayesethi ku-Abiyathara, umpristi, indodana ka-Ahimeleki, ngilethe lapha ingubo yamahlombe. U-Abiyathara wayeselethela uDavide khona ingubo yamahlombe.

8UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: “Ngixoshe leliviyo na? ngiyakubafica, wathi kuye: “Xosha, ngokuba uyakuwafica nokuwafica, ubuyise konke ngaphandle kokulibala.

9UDavide wahamba, yena namadoda angamakhulu ayisithupha ayenaye, bafika emfudlaneni iBesori, lapho abasala khona.

10Kepha uDavide waxosha, yena namadoda angamakhulu amane, ngokuba abangamakhulu amabili basala ngemuva, bekhathele bengenakuwela umfudlana iBesori.

11Bafumana owaseGibithe endle, bamyisa kuDavide, bamnika isinkwa, wadla; bamphuzisa amanzi;

12Basebemnika ucezu lweqebelengwane lomkhiwane nezigaxa ezimbili zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo; esedlile umoya wakhe wabuyela kuye, ngokuba wayengadlanga sinkwa, engaphuzanga manzi izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.

13UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? kanti ungowaphi? Wathi: “NgingowaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki; inkosi yami ingishiyile, ngokuba ezinsukwini ezintathu ezedlule ngigula.

14Sahlasela eningizimu yamaKrethe, nasogwini lwakwaJuda, naseningizimu yakwaKalebi; sayishisa iSikilagi ngomlilo.

15UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungangehlisela kulesixuku? Wathi: “Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi awuyikungibulala, unganginikele esandleni senkosi yami, ngikwehlisele kulesi sixuku;

16Lapho emehlisa, bheka, babehlakazekile emhlabeni wonke, bedla, bephuza, besina ngenxa yayo yonke impango enkulu ababeyithathile ezweni lamaFilisti nasezweni lakwaJuda.

17UDavide wababulala kusukela kusihlwa kwaze kwaba kusihlwa ngangomuso, akwaphunyuka muntu kubo, kuphela izinsizwa ezingamakhulu amane ezazigibele amakamela, zabaleka.

18UDavide wakhulula konke ama-Amaleki ayekuthathile, uDavide wasindisa nabafazi bakhe ababili.

19Abaswelanga lutho, encane noma enkulu, amadodana noma amadodakazi, nempango nanoma yini abazithathela yona; UDavid wathola konke.

20UDavide wathatha zonke izimvu nezinkomo abazixosha phambi kwezinye izinkomo, wathi: “Le yimpango kaDavide.”

21UDavida wasefika ebantwini abangamakhulu amabili ababediniwe njalo bengelakulandela uDavida, abahlalisa emfuleni iBesori; baphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza amadoda aye naye. Lapho uDavide esondela kubantu, wababingelela.

22Base bephendula bonke abantu ababi namadoda amabi ahamba noDavide, bathi: “Ngokuba bengahambanga nathi, asiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhulule, kube yilowo nalowo umkakhe nomkakhe abantwana, ukuze babahole bahambe.

23UDavida wasesithi: Lingenzi njalo, bazalwane bami, ngalokho i Nkosi esinike yona, eyasilondolozayo, yanikela esandleni sethu ixuku elasihlasela.

24Ngoba ngubani ozalilalela kulendaba? kepha njengesabelo salowo owehlela impi, siyakuba njalo isabelo salowo ohlala empangweni;

25Kwathi kusukela ngalolo suku kuya phambili wakwenza kwaba yisimiso nesimiso kwa-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla.

26UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathuma enye empangweni kubadala bakoJuda kubangane bakhe, wathi: Khangelani, kukhona isipho senu empangweni yezitha zikaJehova;

27nakulabo ababeseBethele, nakulabo ababeseningizimu yeRamoti, nakulabo ababeseJatiri,

28nakulabo ababese-Aroweri, nakulabo ababeseZifimoti, nakulabo ababese-Estemowa,

29nakulabo ababeseRagali, nakulabo ababesemizini yamaJerameli, nakulabo ababesemizini yamaKheni,

30nakulabo ababeseHorma, nakulabo ababeseKorasan, nakulabo ababese-Atagi,

31nakulabo ababeseHebroni, nakuzo zonke izindawo lapho uDavide ngokwakhe nabantu bakhe babevame ukuhamba khona.
