Ibali likaGoliyati
1AmaFilisti ayihlanganisa imikhosi yawo ukuba ilwe, ayihlanganisela eSogo yakwaYuda, amisa phakathi kweSogo neAzeka, e-Efese-Damim. 2uSawule namadoda akwaSirayeli bahlanganisana, bamisa inkampu entlanjeni yoMfula kaElaa baza balwa imfazwe nxamnye namaFilisti. 3AmaFilisti ayemi kwelinye icala lentaba, amaSirayeli emi kwelinye icala lentaba, kukho intlambo phakathi kwawo. 4Kwavela igorha elisenkampini yamaFilisti, igama lalo lalinguGoliyati waseGati, obude buziikubhite ezintandathu nomolulo wesandla; 5enxibe isigcina-ntloko sobhedu entloko, ethwele isigcina-sifuba; ubunzima bengubo bebuziishekele zobhedu ezingamawaka amahlanu; 6ezinyaweni zayo yayineepani zobhedu, nombhinqo wobhedu phakathi kwamagxa ayo; 7uluthi lwentshuntshe yayo belungangomthi wabaluki; Intloko yentshuntshe yayo ibiziishekele ezimakhulu mathandathu esinyithi; 8Wesuka wema, wayibiza imikhosi yakwaSirayeli, wathi kuyo, Yini na ukuba niphume nalungiselela ukulwa kwenu? Andinguye na umFilisti, nabakhonzi bakho uSawule? Zinyuleleni indoda, ihle ize kum. 9Ukuba ithe yanako ukulwa nam, yandibulala, soba ngabakhonzi kuni; ukuba ndithe ndayoyisa mna, ndayibulala, noba ngabakhonzi kuthi, nisikhonze. 10Wathi umFilisti, Namhla ndiyawacekisa abathetheli bakwaSirayeli; ndinike indoda, silwe sobabini. 11Baweva ooSawule namaSirayeli onke amazwi alo mFilisti, boyika, boyika kunene. 12uDavide ubengunyana waloo mEfrata waseBhetelehem yakwaYuda, ogama belinguYese; ubenoonyana abasibhozo, ibe ke indoda leyo ibiyindoda enkulu phakathi kwabantu ngexesha likaSawule. 13Bahamba oonyana abathathu bakaYese abakhulu, bamlandela uSawule baya emfazweni; amagama oonyana bakhe abathathu ababeye emfazweni yayinguEliyabhi owamazibulo, noAbhinadabhi owesibini, noShama wesithathu. 14uDavide wayengoyena mncinane, yaye amadoda amakhulu amathathu alandela uSawule. 15uDavide ubehamba ebuya kuSawule, esiya kwalusa impahla emfutshane kayise eBhetelehem. 16UmFilisti lowo wayesondela kusasa nangokuhlwa, wamvelela iintsuku ezimashumi mane. 17Wathi uYese kuDavide unyana wakhe, Thabathela abakhuluwa bakho iefa yale ngqolowa egcadiweyo, nezonka ezi zilishumi, uzithumele eminqubeni kubakhuluwa bakho; 18Uze ezi mpahla emfutshane zilishumi, uzizise kumthetheli-waka, ubone ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni na abazalwana bakho, uthabathe kubo isibambiso. 19uSawule, nabo, namadoda onke akwaSirayeli, babekwintlambo kaEla, balwa namaFilisti. 20Wavuka kusasa uDavide, wazishiya izimvu kumalusi, wazithabatha, wemka, njengoko abemwisele umthetho uYese; Yafika emhadini xa umkhosi uphumayo usiya edabini, wakhala edabini. 21Kuba amaSirayeli namaFilisti ayemise imfazwe, umkhosi ukhangelene nomkhosi. 22uDavide wayishiya inqwelo yakhe esandleni sabalindi, wabalekela emkhosini, wababulisa abazalwana bakhe. 23Ngoxa wayesathetha nabo, kwathi gqi indoda elikroti, umFilisti waseGati, ogama linguGoliyati, evela ezintendelezweni zamaFilisti, yathetha kwalaa mazwi, waza uDavide weva. 24Onke amadoda akwaSirayeli ayibona le ndoda, asaba ebusweni bayo yaye oyika kakhulu. 25Athi amadoda akwaSirayeli, Niyibonile na laa ndoda inyukayo? wenyuka waya kuwadela amaSirayeli; yaye umntu oya kumbulala, ukumkani uya kumtyebisa ngobutyebi obuninzi, amnike intombi aze ayikhulule indlu kayise kwaSirayeli. 26Wathetha uDavide kumadoda abemi phambi kwakhe, wathi, Ngubani na othe wabulala laa mFilisti, walisusa ihlazo lamaSirayeli? ngenxa yokuba ngubani na laa mFilisti ungalukanga ukuba ade ayidele imiyalelo yoThixo ophilayo? 27Baphendula abantu ngokwelo lizwi, bathi, Kuya kwenjiwa nje kuloo mntu umbuleleyo. 28Weva uEliyabhi, umkhuluwa wakhe, ethetha naloo madoda; Wavutha umsindo kaEliyabhi kuDavide, wathi, Ifike apha? Uyishiye nabani na laa mpahla imfutshane imbalwa entlango? Ndiyakwazi mna ukukhukhumala kwakho, nobubi bentliziyo yakho; ngokuba nihle nize kubona imfazwe. 29Wathi uDavide, Ndenze ntoni na ngoku? Ngaba akukho sizathu? 30Wamshiya, waya komnye, ethetha kwangokunjalo. 31Aviwa amazwi awawathethayo uDavide, avakala kuSawule, wadanduluka kuye. 32Wathi uDavide kuSawule, Makungathambi mntu ngenxa yakhe; umkhonzi wakho lo uya kuya alwe nalo mFilisti. 33Wathi uSawule kuDavide, Akunako ukumhlasela laa mFilisti umlwe naye; ngokuba usengumfana, ukanti ubeyindoda elwayo kwasebuncinaneni bakhe. 34Wathi uDavide kuSawule, Umkhonzi wakho ebesalusa impahla emfutshane kayise, kwafika ingonyama nebhere, yathabatha ixhwane emhlambini. 35Ndaphuma ke, ndayilandela, ndayibetha, ndayigcina emlonyeni wayo; yathi yesuka phezu kwam, ndayibamba ngodevu lwayo, ndayibetha, ndayibulala. 36Umkhonzi wakho ubulele ingonyama nebhere, yaye lo mFilisti usiyatha uya kuba njengenye yazo, ngenxa yokuba uyidelile imikhosi yoThixo ophilayo. 37Wathi uDavide, uYehova owandihlangulayo egazini lengonyama nasegazini lebhere, nguye oya kundihlangula esandleni saloo mFilisti. Wathi uSawule kuDavide, Hamba ke, uYehova abe nawe. 38uSawule wamambathisa uDavide iingubo zakhe, wabeka isigcina-ntloko sobhedu entloko; naye exhobe ngesixhobo. 39uDavide walibopha ikrele lakhe esikrweqeni sakhe, wazama ukuhamba; ngokuba engangqinanga. Wathi uDavide kuSawule, Andinako ukuhamba nawo; kuba andizange ndizame. uDavide wazithabatha kuye. 40Wathabatha umsimelelo wakhe ngesandla sakhe, wazinyulela amatye amahlanu agudileyo kwintlambo yomlambo, wawafaka engxoweni engxoweni yakhe yomalusi; isilingi sakhe sisesandleni sakhe, waya kumFilisti. 41Weza umFilisti, waya kuDavide; indoda ephethe ikhaka yayihamba phambi kwakhe. 42Xa umFilisti wasingasinga waza wambona uDavide, wamdelela, ngenxa yokuba umfana ebomvu, enembonakalo entle. 43Wathi umFilisti kuDavide, Ndiyinja na, uze kum uneentonga? UmFilisti wamqalekisa uDavide ngoothixo bakhe. 44Wathi umFilisti kuDavide, Yiza kum apha, ndiyinike iintaka zezulu namarhamncwa asendle inyama yakho. 45Wathi uDavide kumFilisti, Wena uza kum unekrele, nentshuntshe, nekhaka; ke mna ndiza kuwe egameni likaYehova wemikhosi, uThixo wemikhosi kaSirayeli. 46Namhlanje uYehova uya kukunikela esandleni sam; yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kukoyisa, ndiyinqumle intloko yakho; namhla ndizinike iintaka zezulu namarhamncwa asendle izidumbu zemikhosi yamaFilisti; ukuze ihlabathi lonke lazi ukuba kukho uThixo kwaSirayeli. 47Liya kwazi lonke eli bandla, ukuba uYehova akahlanguli ngakrele nantshuntshe; ngokuba imfazwe yekaYehova, woninikela esandleni sethu. 48Akugqiba umFilisti, waya kukhawulela uDavide, wakhawuleza uDavide, wagidima waya emkhosini, esiya kukhawulela umFilisti lowo. 49uDavide wafaka isandla sakhe epokothweni yakhe, warhola ilitye, waliphosa, wambetha umFilisti leyo ebunzi; wawa ngobuso. 50uDavide wamxabela umFilisti ngenkwitshi nangelitye, wamhlaba umFilisti lowo, wambulala; ke kungekho krele esandleni sikaDavide. 51Wagidima ke uDavide, wema ecaleni komFilisti, walithabatha ikrele lakhe, walirhola eludinini lwalo, wambulala, wamnqumla intloko ngalo. Abona ke amaFilisti ukuba lifile igorha lawo, asaba. 52Amadoda akwaSirayeli nakwaYuda azilungisa, amemeza, awasukela amaFilisti, ada aya kufika entilini yoMnayile, aya kufikelela emasangweni ase-Ekron. Yaye abo bawoyisayo kumaFilisti bawela emhlabeni endleleni eya eSarayim ukuya kufikelela eGati nokuya kufikelela e-Ekron. 53Babuya oonyana bakaSirayeli ekuwasukeleni amaFilisti, baziphanga iintente zawo. 54uDavide wayithabatha intloko yomFilisti, wayisa eYerusalem; isikrweqe sakhe wasibeka ententeni yakhe. 55uSawule wambona uDavide emxabela umFilisti, wathi kuAbhinere umthetheli-mkhosi, Ngunyana kabani na laa mfana, Abhinere? Wathi uAbhinere, Ewe, kumkani, uhleli umphefumlo wakho. 56Wathi ukumkani, Niyabuza ukuba ngunyana kabani na lo? 57Ekubuyeni kukaDavide ekumbulaleni umFilisti, uAbhinere wamthabatha, wamzisa phambi koSawule, ephethe intloko yomFilisti ngesandla sakhe. 58Wathi uSawule kuye, Ungunyana kabani na, mfanandini? Waphendula uDavide, wathi, Ndingunyana womkhonzi wakho uYese waseBhetelehem.
