¹Zvino Sauro akataura naJonatani mwanakomana wake, navaranda vake vose, kuti vauraye Dhavhidhi.

¹Markaasaa Saa'uul la hadlay wiilkiisii Yoonaataan iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku amray inay Daa'uud dilaan.

²Asi Jonatani mwanakomana waSauro, wakange achifarira Dhavhidhi kwazvo. Naizvozvo Jonatani akaudza Dhavhidhi, akati, Sauro, baba vangu, vanotsvaka kukuuraya; naizvozvo zvino, chenjera kwazvo mangwana, ugare pakavanda, uvande;

²Laakiinse Saa'uul wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ahaa Daa'uud aad buu ugu farxay. Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Aabbahay Saa'uul wuxuu doonayaa inuu ku dilo. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, subaxdii digtoonow, oo intaad meel qarsoon gashid dhuumo;

³ini ndichabuda, ndichandomira kuna baba vangu mumunda, mauri, nditaurirane nababa vangu pamusoro pako; kana ndichinge ndikaona chinhu, ndichakuudza.

³oo anigu waan tegayaa, oo beerta aad ku jirto dhexdeeda ayaan aabbahay ag istaagayaa, oo xaggaagaan aabbahay kala hadlayaa, oo hadday wax jiraanna waan kuu soo sheegayaa.

⁴Ipapo Jonatani akareverera Dhavhidhi zvakanaka kuna Sauro baba vake, akati kwavari, Mambo ngaarege kutadzira Dhavhidhi muranda wake, nekuti iye haana kukutadzirai imi, asi wakakuitirai zvakanaka kwazvo;

⁴Oo Yoonaataanna wax wanaagsan ayuu aabbihiis Saa'uul uga sheegay Daa'uud, oo ku yidhi, Addoonkaaga Daa'uud ha ku dembaabin, maxaa yeelay, isagu kuguma uu dembaabin, oo shuqulladiisuna xaggaaga aad bay ugu wanaagsanaayeen,

⁵nekuti wakabata upenyu hwake mumaoko ake, akauraya muFirisitia; Jehovha akakundisa vaIsiraeri nokukunda kukuru; imwi makazviona, mukafara; naizvozvo muchatadzireiko ropa risine mhosva, mukauraya Dhavhidhi asine mhaka hake?

⁵waayo, intuu isku biimeeyey ayuu kii reer Falastiin dilay, oo Rabbiguna guul weyn buu u sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Waad aragtay, waanad ku faraxday, haddaba maxaad dhiig aan xaq qabin ugu dembaabaysaa inaad sababla'aan Daa'uud u disho?

⁶Sauro akateerera inzwi raJonatani, Sauro akapika akati, NaJehovha mupenyu, haangaurawi!

⁶Markaasaa Saa'uul maqlay codkii Yoonaataan, oo wuxuu ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga inaan Daa'uud la dilayn.

⁷Zvino Jonatani akadana Dhavhidhi, Jonatani akamuzivisa zvinhu izvo zvose. Jonatani akaenda naDhavhidhi kuna Sauro, akagara pamberi pake sapakutanga.

⁷Dabadeedna Yoonaataan Daa'uud buu u yeedhay, oo u sheegay waxyaalahan oo dhan. Markaasaa Yoonaataan Daa'uud u keenay Saa'uul, oo uu hor joogay sidii waagii hore.

⁸Zvino kurwa kukavapozve, Dhavhidhi akabuda kundorwa navaFirisitia, akavauraya nokuuraya kukuru, vakatiza pamberi pake.

⁸Oo haddana mar kale waxaa dhacay dagaal. Markaasaa Daa'uud baxay oo la diriray reer Falastiin, oo intuu aad u laayay ayay ka hor carareen.

⁹Mweya wakaipa, wakange watumwa naJehovha, ukauya pamusoro paSauro, agere mumba make ane pfumo rake muruoko rwake; Dhavhidhi akaridza noruoko rwake.

⁹Oo haddana ruux xun oo xagga Rabbiga ka yimid ayaa ku soo degay Saa'uul isagoo gurigiisa dhex fadhiya oo warankiisii gacanta ugu jiro; markaasaa Daa'uud gacanta ku dhuftay kataaraddii.

¹⁰Sauro akaidza kubayira Dhavhidhi pamadziro nepfumo; Dhavhidhi akatiza, akapukunyuka usiku uhwo.

¹⁰Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu damcay inuu Daa'uud wareemo oo uu derbiga ku qodbo; laakiinse wuu ka cararay Saa'uul hortiisii oo Saa'uul wuxuu warankii ka taagay derbigii. Daa'uudna wuu cararay, oo habeenkaasuu baxsaday.

¹¹Ipapo Sauro akatuma nhume kumba kwaDhavhidhi kumurinda nokumuuraya mangwanani; Mikari mukadzi waDhavhidhi, akamuudza akati, Kana ukasaponesa upenyu hwako usiku hwuno, uchaurawa mangwana.

¹¹Markaasaa Saa'uul rag u diray Daa'uud gurigiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhawra oo subaxdii isaga dila. Markaasaa Miikaal oo Daa'uud naagtiisii ahayd ayaa warkii u sheegtay, oo ku tidhi, Haddaadan caawa naftaada la baxsan, berri waa lagu dilayaa.

¹²Naizvozvo Mikari akaburutsa Dhavhidhi pasi napahwindo; akaenda, akatiza, akapukunyuka.

¹²Haddaba Miikaal waxay Daa'uud ka dejisay daaqaddii; oo isna intuu tegey ayuu cararay, waana baxsaday.

¹³Mikari akatora terafimi, akairadzika panhovo, akaisa mutsamiro wemvere dzembudzi pamusoro wayo, akaifukidza nejira.

¹³Markaasaa Miikaal waxay soo qaadday sanam oo sariirtay saartay, oo waxay madaxa u dhigtay barkin dhogor riyood ah, waxayna ku dedday dhar.

¹⁴Zvino Sauro wakati achituma nhume kuzobata Dhavhidhi, iye akati, Unorwara.

¹⁴Oo markii Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo kexeeyaan ayay ku tidhi, Wuu bukaa.

¹⁵Ipapo Sauro akatuma nhume kuzotarira Dhavhidhi akati, Uyai naye kwandiri ari panhovo, ndimuuraye.

¹⁵Markaasaa Saa'uul raggii soo diray inay Daa'uud soo arkaan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Isagoo sariirta ku jiifa ii keena aan dilee.

¹⁶Zvino nhume dzakati dzichipinda, dzikaona terafimi iri panhovo nomutsamiro wemvere dzembudzi pamusoro wayo.

¹⁶Oo raggiina markay gurigiisii soo galeen ayay arkeen sanamkii oo sariirta saaran oo barkin dhogor riyood ahu madaxa u taal.

¹⁷Sauro akati kuna Mikari, Wandinyengereiko kudai, ukarega muvengi wangu achienda, akapukunyuka? Mikari akapindura Sauro achiti, Iye wakati kwandiri, Ndirege, ndiende; ndichakuurayireiko?

¹⁷Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Miikaal ku yidhi, Naa maxaad saas iigu khiyaanaysay oo cadowgayga u sii daysay inuu baxsado? Miikaalna waxay Saa'uul ugu jawaabtay, Wuxuu igu yidhi, I sii daa, yaanan ku diline.

¹⁸Dhavhidhi akatiza, akapukunyuka, akasvika kuna Samueri paRama, akamuudza zvose zvaakanga aitirwa naSauro. Iye naSamueri vakandogara Naioti.

¹⁸Haddaba Daa'uud wuu cararay oo wuu baxsaday, oo wuxuu Samuu'eel ugu yimid Raamaah, oo uu u sheegay kulli wixii Saa'uul ku sameeyey oo dhan. Markaasaa isaga iyo Samuu'eel waxay tageen oo degeen Naayood.

¹⁹Zvino Sauro wakaudzwa, zvichinzi, Tarirai, Dhavhidhi uri Naioti paRama.

¹⁹Saa'uulna waa loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Daa'uud wuxuu joogaa Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

²⁰Sauro akatuma nhume kundobata Dhavhidhi; asi idzo dzakati dzichiona boka ravaporofita vachiporofita, naSamueri amire ari mutungamiriri wavo, Mweya waMwari akauya pamusoro penhume dzaSauro, naidzo dzikaporofitawo.

²⁰Markaasaa Saa'uul rag u soo diray inay Daa'uud soo qabtaan; oo iyana markay arkeen guutadii nebiyada ahayd oo wax sheegaya, iyo Samuu'eel oo dhex taagan oo madax u ah ayaa ruuxii Rabbigu ku soo degay raggii Saa'uul soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

²¹Zvino Sauro wakati achiudzwa izvozvo, akatumazve dzimwe nhume, naidzo dzikaporofitawo. Ipapo Sauro akatumazve nhume rwechitatu, naidzo dzikaporofitawo.

²¹Oo taas markii Saa'uul loo sheegay ayuu haddana soo diray rag kale, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen. Oo haddana mar saddexaad ayaa Saa'uul rag kale soo diray, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegeen.

²²Zvino naiye akaendawo Rama, akasvika patsime guru riri paSeku, akabvunza akati, VanaSamueri naDhavhidhi varipiko? Mumwe akati, Tarirai, vari Naioti paRama.

²²Markaasaa isagiina Raamaah tegey, oo wuxuu yimid ceelka weyn oo ku yaal Sekuu, dabadeedna dadkii buu wax weyddiiyey oo ku yidhi, Samuu'eel iyo Daa'uud xaggee bay joogaan? Oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Waxay joogaan Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.

²³Iye akaendako Naioti paRama, Mweya waMwari wakauya pamusoro pakewo, akafamba achiporofita kudzimara asvika Naioti paRama.

²³Markaasuu wuxuu tegey Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal; markaasaa isagiina waxaa ku soo degay ruuxii Ilaah, oo wuu sii socday, oo sidii nebi buu wax u sheegay tan iyo ilaa uu yimid Naayood oo Raamaah ku taal.Oo isna dharkii buu iska siibay, oo Samuu'eel hortiisuu wax ku sii sheegay, oo halkaasuu jiifay isagoo qaawan maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay yidhaahdaan, Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

²⁴Akabvisawo nguvo dzake, akaporofita pamberi paSamueri, akavata pasi, asakafuka, zuva iro rose nousiku uhwo hwose. Naizvozvo vanoti, Sauro uri pakati pavaporofitawo here?

²⁴Oo isna dharkii buu iska siibay, oo Samuu'eel hortiisuu wax ku sii sheegay, oo halkaasuu jiifay isagoo qaawan maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxay yidhaahdaan, Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?
