¹Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi wakabvapo akatizira kubako reAdhurami; zvino hama dzake navose veimba yababa vake vakati vachinzwa, vakaburukirako kwaari.

¹Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud halkaas wuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u baxsaday xagga bohoshii Cadullaam, oo markii walaalihiis iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhammu ay taas maqleen ayay halkaas isagii ugu tageen.

²Zvino vose vakanga vari panjodzi, navose vakanga vane mhosva, navose vakanga vane shungu vakaungana kwaari, akava mutangamiriri wavo; kwakanga kuna varume vanenge mazana mana naye.

²Oo mid kasta oo cidhiidhi ku jira, iyo mid kasta oo deyn qaba, iyo mid kasta oo aan raalli ahaynba isagay isu soo urursadeen, oo isna wuxuu u noqday madax u taliya, oo waxaa isaga la joogay in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin.

³Zvino Dhavhidhi akabvapo akaenda Mizipa kwaMoabhu; akati kuna mambo waMoabhu, Baba vangu namai vangu ndinokumbira kuti vauye vagare nemi, kusvikira ndaziva chandichaitirwa naMwari.

³Markaasaa Daa'uud halkaas ka tegey oo Misfaahdii reer Moo'aab u kacay; oo wuxuu boqorkii reer Moo'aab ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, aabbahay iyo hooyaday ha soo baxeen oo ha kula joogeen, ilaa aan ogaado waxa Ilaah ii samaynayo.

⁴Akavaisa kuna mambo waMoabhu, vakagara naye nguva yose yokugara kwaDhavhidhi munhare.

⁴Oo wuxuu iyagii hor keenay boqorkii reer Moo'aab, oo isagay la joogeen intii Daa'uud dhufayska ku jiray oo dhan.

⁵Zvino muporofita Gadhi akati kuna Dhavhidhi: Usaramba ugere munhare, asi ibva undogara panyika yaJudha. Ipapo Dhavhidhi akabva akasvika kudondo reHereti.

⁵Markaasaa Nebi Gaad wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Dhufayska ha ku sii jirine bax oo waxaad tagtaa dalka Yahuudah. Markaasaa Daa'uud tegey, oo wuxuu yimid kayntii Xaared.

⁶Zvino Sauro wakanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi wawanikwa, iye navarume vaiva naye; Sauro wakange agere Gibhiya, munyasi momuti womutamarisiki paRama, akabata pfumo rake muruoko rwake, navaranda vake vose vakanga vamire naye.

⁶Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu maqlay in Daa'uud iyo raggii la jirayba la soo arkay; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu joogay Gibecaah, isagoo hoos fadhiya geed Raamaah ku yaal, oo warankiisiina gacanta ugu jiro, addoommadiisii oo dhammuna hareero taagan yihiin.

⁷Zvino Sauro wakati kuvaranda vake vakanga vamire naye, Inzwai zvino, vaBhenjamini! Mwanakomana waJese uchakupai mose minda neminda yemizambiringa here? Uchakuitai mose vakuru vezviuru navakuru vamazana here?

⁷Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi addoommadiisii hareerahiisa taagnaa, Bal maqla hadda, kuwiinnan reer Benyaamiinow, wiilka Yesay miyuu midkiin kastaba siinayaa beero iyo beero canab ah, oo miyuu kulligiin idinka wada dhigi doonaa kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya?

⁸Zvamandirangana mose, zvakusina mumwe unondizivisa kana mwanakomana wangu akaita sungano nomwanakomana waJese, zvakusino mumwe wenyu unondinzwira tsitsi, kana unondizivisa kuti mwanakomana wangu wakamutsa muranda wangu kuti andimukire, andivandire, sezvaanoita nhasi here?

⁸Ma saasaad kulligiin iigu heshiiseen, oo uu midkiinna iigu soo sheegi waayay markii wiilkaygu axdi la dhiganayay wiilka Yesay, oo uu midkiinna ii nixi waayay, wuuna iigu soo sheegi waayay in wiilkaygu igu kiciyey addoonkayga inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

⁹Ipapo Dhoegi muEdhomu, wakange amire navaranda vaSauro, akapindura akati, Ndakaona mwanakomana waJese achisvika Nobhi, kuna Ahimereki mwanakomana waAitubi.

⁹Markaasaa waxaa jawaabay Do'eeggii reer Edom oo ag taagnaa Saa'uul addoommadiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan arkay wiilkii Yesay oo Nob ku soo socda oo u yimid Axiimeleg ina Axiituub.

¹⁰Iye akamubvunzira kuna Jehovha, akamupa mbuva, akamupawo munondo waGoriati muFirisitia.

¹⁰Oo isna Rabbiguu wax u weyddiiyey, oo saadna wuu siiyey, oo seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiinna wuu siiyey.

¹¹Ipapo mambo akatuma nhume kundodana Ahimereki mupristi, mwanakomana waAhitubi, neveimba yake yose, ivo vapristi vaiva paNobhi; vakauya vose kuna mambo.

¹¹Kolkaasaa boqorku u cid diray in loo yeedho wadaadkii Axiimeleg ee ahaa ina Axiituub, isagii iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhanba, kuwaas oo ahaa wadaaddadii Nob joogay; oo iyana kulligood boqorkii bay u yimaadeen.

¹²Zvino Sauro akati; Zvino chinzwa, iwe mwanakomana waAhitubi. Iye akapindura, akati, Ndiri pano, ishe wangu.

¹²Markaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Bal hadda maqal, ina Axiituubow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa i kan.

¹³Sauro akati kwaari; Mandiranganeiko, iwe nomwanakomana waJese, zvawakamupa, chingwa, nomunondo, nokumubvunzira kuna Mwari, kuti andimukire, andivandire sezvaanoita nhasi?

¹³Kolkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu heshiiseen, adiga iyo ina Yesay, oo maxaad u siisay kibista iyo seefta, oo Ilaahna wax ugu weyddiisay si uu iigu kaco inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?

¹⁴Ipapo Ahimereki akapindura mambo akati, Ndianiko pakati pavaranda venyu vose wakatendeka saDhavhidhi, mukwambo wamambo, unosirangana nemi, unokudzwa mumba menyu?

¹⁴Markaasaa Axiimeleg wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Bal yaa addoommadaada ka mid ah oo sida Daa'uud aamin u ah, kaasoo boqorku soddog u yahay, oo weliba shirkaaga ka qayb gala, oo reerkaagana sharaf ku leh?

¹⁵Ndiko nhasi kwandatanga kumubvunzira kuna Mwari here? Ngazvisadaro! Mambo ngaarege hake kusundira muranda wake mhosva, kunyange vose veimba yababa vangu; nekuti muranda wenyu haazivi izvozvo zvose, kunyange zviduku kana zv ikuru.

¹⁵Anigu ma maantaan bilaabay inaan isaga Ilaah wax u weyddiiyo? Taasu ha iga fogaato. Anigu waxan oo dhan waxba kama ogi wax yar iyo wax badan toona, haddaba, boqorow, anigoo addoonkaaga ah iyo reerka aabbahay oo dhanba waxba ha na saarin.

¹⁶Ipapo mambo akati, Zvirokwazvo, uchafa Ahimereki, iwe navose veimba yababa vako.

¹⁶Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Axiimelegow, hubaal waad dhimanaysaa adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhammuba.

¹⁷Mambo akati kuvanyai vakanga vamire naye, Tendeukai, muuraye vapristi vaJehovha, nekuti maoko avo anobatsira Dhavhidhi, nekuti vakanga vachiziva kuti watiza, asi havana kundizivisa. Asi varanda vamambo vakaramba kutambanudzira maoko avo kuuraya vapristi vaJehovha.

¹⁷Dabadeedna boqorkii wuxuu waardiyayaashii hareerihiisa taagnaa ku yidhi, Ku jeesta oo wadaaddada Rabbiga laaya, maxaa yeelay, gacantoodu Daa'uud bay la jirtaa, oo iyagoo og inuu baxsaday ayayan ii soo sheegin, laakiinse boqorka addoommadiisii way diideen inay gacantooda ku fidiyaan oo laayaan wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

¹⁸Ipapo mambo akati kuna Dhoegi, Tendeuka iwe, uuraye vapristi. Dhoegi muEdhomu, akatendeuka, akauraya vapristi, akaparadza nomusi iwoyo vanhu vana makumi masere navashanu vakanga vakafuka efodhi yomucheka.

¹⁸Markaasaa boqorkii Do'eeg ku yidhi, Adigu ku jeeso oo wadaaddada laa. Do'eeggii reer Edomna wuu ku jeestay oo wadaaddadii laayay, oo maalintaas wuxuu laayay shan iyo siddeetan qof oo wada qaba eefod dhar wanaagsan laga sameeyey.

¹⁹Akaparadzawo Nobhi, guta ravapristi, neminondo inopinza, varume navakadzi vose, navana navakanga vachimwa, nemombe, nembongoro, namakwai; zvose zvakaparadzwa neminondo inopinza.

¹⁹Oo magaaladii wadaaddada oo Nob ahaydna wixii joogay ayuu seef ku laayay. Rag iyo dumarba, iyo carruur iyo caanonuugba, iyo dibi iyo dameerro iyo idoba wuxuu ku wada laayay seef.

²⁰Asi mumwe wavanakomana vaAhimereki mwanakomana waAhitubi, wainzi Abhiatari, wakapukunyuka, akatiza, akatevera Dhavhidhi.

²⁰Oo waxaa ka baxsaday oo Daa'uud ka daba cararay mid ka mid ah wiilashii Axiimeleg ina Axiituub, magiciisana la odhan jiray Aabyaataar.

²¹Abhiatari akaudza Dhavhidhi kuti Sauro wauraya vapristi vaJehovha.

²¹Markaasaa Aabyaataar wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay in Saa'uul laayay wadaaddadii Rabbiga.

²²Dhavhidhi akati kuna Abhiatari, Musi uya wandakaona Dhoegi muEdhomu aripo, ndakaziva kuti zvirokwazvo uchandoudza Sauro; ndini ndakonzera rufu rwemweya yose yeimba yababa vako.

²²Kolkaasaa Daa'uud Aabyaataar ku yidhi, Maalintii Do'eeggii reer Edom halkaas joogay, waan garanayay inuu Saa'uul u sheegi doono. Dadkii reerka aabbahaa oo dhan anigaa dhimashada u soo jiiday.Haddaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.

²³Gara hako neni, usatya; nekuti unotsvaka kundiuraya ini, ndiye unotsvaka kukuuraya iwewo; nekuti kana ukagara neni uchachengetwa.

²³Haddaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.
