8Zvino vaFirisitia vakati vanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi azodzwa kuti ave mambo wavaIsiraeri vose, vaFirisitia vose vakakwira kundotsvaka Dhavhidhi; Dhavhidhi akazvinzwa, akabuda kuzorwa navo.
8 Waato kaŋ Filistancey maa baaru kaŋ i na ji soogu Dawda boŋ k'a ciya bonkooni Israyla kulu boŋ, kala Filistancey kulu ziji ka kaa zama ngey ma Dawda ceeci. Dawda mo maa woodin baaru ka fatta i gaa.
9Zvino vaFirisitia vakanga vasvika, vakapararira pamupata weRefaimu.
9 Filistancey binde jin ka kaa ka wongu arzaka ku Refayim gooro ra.
10Dhavhidhi akabvunza Jehovha, akati, Ndokwira kundorwa navaFirisitia here? Muchavaisa mumaoko angu here? Jehovha akati kuna Dhavhidhi, Kwira, nekuti ndichavaisa mumaoko ako.
10 Dawda na Irikoy hã ka ne: «Ay ma ziji Filistancey gaa, wala? Ni g'i daŋ ay kambe ra no?» Rabbi ne: «Ma ziji ka koy, zama ay g'i daŋ ni kambe ra.»
11Vakasvika paBhaariperazimi, Dhavhidhi akavaparadzapo; Dhavhidhi akati, Mwari akapwanya vavengi vangu noruoko rwangu, sokupwanya kwemvura. Naizvozvo vakatumidza nzvimbo iyo Bhaariperazimi.
11 Kal i ziji ka kaa Baal-Perazim haray. Dawda n'i zeeri mo noodin. Dawda ne mo: «Irikoy na kortimi te ay ibarey boŋ ay kamba ra, danga saaya kaŋ hari kosaray baguyaŋ ga te!» Woodin sabbay se no i na noodin maa daŋ Baal-Perazim.
12VaFirisitia vakasiya vamwari vavopo, Dhavhidhi akaraira, vakavapisa nomoto.
12 Filistancey mo na ngey toorey furu noodin. Dawda lordi ka ne i m'i ton danji ra.
13VaFirisitia vakapararirazve pamupata uyo.
13 Filistancey ye ka kande wurrandi zama ngey ma arzaka ku gooro ra se.
14Ipapo Dhavhidhi akabvunza Mwari zve; Mwari akati kwaari, Usandovatevera; tsauka ubve kwavari, ugovavamba pakatarisana nemiti yemibharisami.
14 Dawda mo ye ka Irikoy hã koyne. Amma Irikoy ne a se: «Ni ma si ziji k'i ceeci. Ni ma windi ka kaa i gaa balsam nyaŋey jine.
15Zvino kana uchinzwa kutinhira kokufamba pamisoro yemiti yemibharisami, ipapo unofanira kundorwa; nekuti Mwari akutungamirira kundoparadza hondo yavaFirisitia.
15 A ga ciya mo, waati kaŋ ni ga maa danga diraw yooje go balsam* nyaŋey boŋ bindey ra, kala ni ma fatta ka koy tangamo do, zama Irikoy fatta ni jine. Zama nga ma Filistancey wongu marga kar.»

16 Dawda binde te danga mate kaŋ cine Irikoy n'a lordi nd'a. A na Filistancey marga kar ka zeeri mo za Jibeyon kal a koy ka to hala Gezer.
17Mbiri yaDhavhidhi ikabudira kunyika dzose; Jehovha akavhundusa marudzi ose pamusoro pake.
17 Gaa no Dawda maa darza koy laabey kulu ra. Rabbi n'a humburkuma daŋ mo dumey kulu gaa.
