Watheti wa Samwela 18 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

18 ¹Buna Tavidi kámana zonza yi Sawulu, moya wa Yonatani wúkangama yi moya wa Tavidi, amana Yonatani wámuzola nana moya wandi mosi. ²Tuka kilumbu dina, Sawulu wásimba Tavidi kumosi yi yandi, kásisaku ni kavutuka ku nzu ya tata wandi. ³Amana Yonatani wásala bulunda yi Tavidi, mukuma wámuzola nana moya wandi mosi. ⁴Yonatani wákatula muzaka wandi amana wámuheka kwena Tavidi, kumosi yi kikutu kyandi, mbedi yandi, buta yandi yi mukaba wandi.

⁵Tavidi wánunga muna homa hosu hana Sawulu kámuthuma, buna Sawulu wámutula ha mutwa wa baphumbulu; wásephidisa batu boosu yi basadi ba Sawulu phi.

⁶Muna kuvutuka kwa bawu, buna Tavidi kávutuka tuka ku kuhonda Mufilisiti, bakhetu ba mbanza zoosu za Kiseledi balubuki, bendi tundakana yi kinga Sawulu, mu kuyimbila, mu makinu, yi kyesi, yi zingoma yi bimbila bya miziki. ⁷Muna kusangwala kwa bawu, bakhetu bakala diyimbidila bawu yi bawu: «Sawulu wáhonda mafunda mandi, amana Tavidi mafunda kumi mandi.»

⁸Sawulu wáyuka khabu lawu; ndinga yina yámubela lawu. Wuzimbudi: «Bápheka Tavidi mafunda kumi, kaasi meni bápheka mafunda kaka. Kima kinsyala kwena yandi, kaka Kipfumu!» ⁹Amana tuka kilumbu dina, Sawulu wákala tala Tavidi ni disu dya kiphala. ¹⁰Kilumbu kyalanda, kitembu kya mbi kyatuka kwena Tata wetu kyámubwila Sawulu; wákala zimbula mambu ma buzoba muna nzu yandi, buna Tavidi kakala sika nsambi, nana kosu kilumbu. Sawulu kákala yi ngumba yandi mu koku. ¹¹Sawulu wáloza ngumba, mu kubanza: «Yikákhukula Tavidi ku kibaka.» Kaasi Tavidi wántina mbala zodi. ¹²Sawulu wáyuka bweya bwa Tavidi, mukuma Tata wetu kákala kumosi yi yandi, kaasi wákatuka kwena Sawulu. ¹³Buna Sawulu wákatula Tavidi ku thwala yandi, wámukhitula pfumu wa baphumbulu funda dimosi, amana Tavidi wákala twadisa batu mu kwenda ku mvita yi mu kuvutuka. ¹⁴Tavidi wánunga muna nzila zandi zoosu, mukuma Tata wetu kákala kumosi yi yandi. ¹⁵Buna Sawulu kámona buna Tavidi kakala nunga lawu, wámuyukila bweya lawu. ¹⁶Kaasi Kiseledi dyosu yi Yuta bázola Tavidi, mukuma wákala babatwadisa ku mvita yi kuvutuka.

Tavidi Wábonga Mikali ku Thwala ya Bimeka bya Sawuli

¹⁷Sawulu wuzimbudi kwena Tavidi: «Tala mwana wama wa tsomi wa mukhetu, Melabi. Yikuheka yandi hanga mukhetu waku—kaka wakala kikesa kikuma kya meni amana wanwana mvita za Tata wetu.» Mukuma Sawulu wabánza: «Koku kwama kwisiku kala ha yandi; kaasi koku kwa Bafilisiti kwakala ha yandi.»

¹⁸Tavidi wuzimbudi kwena Sawulu: «Meni nani yenina, amana kikanda kyama biki, kikanda kya tata wama muna Kiseledi, ndangu yíkituka nkwelani wa kinga?» ¹⁹Kaasi muna tangwa báfwana kuheka Melabi, mwana wa Sawulu, kwena Tavidi, báheka yandi kwena Adiliyeli mwisi Mehola hanga mukhetu wandi.

²⁰Mikali, mwana wa Sawulu wa mukhetu, wázola Tavidi. Buna Sawulu káyuka bwabuna, bwámusephidisa. ²¹Sawulu wabánza: «Yimúheka yandi hanga kifwandu, ndangu koku kwa Bafilisiti kumubeta.» Buna Sawulu wuzimbudi kwena Tavidi: «Lelu wenina yi mbala ya zodi mu kukituka nkwelani wama.»

²²Sawulu wuzimbudi kwena basadi bandi: «Luzimbwala kwena Tavidi mu kingenga: “Kinga kakutyini, amana basadi bandi boosu bakuzola. Buthwena kituka nkwelani wandi.”»

²³Basadi ba Sawulu bázimbula ndinga zina kwena Tavidi. Tavidi wuzimbudi: «Keti kukituka nkwelani wa kinga kima kya fyoti kwena benu? Meni yenina musukami amana mutu wa mpamba.»

²⁴Amana basadi ba Sawulu bámuzimbwala: «Mana-ma ma kázimbula Tavidi.»

²⁵Sawulu wuzimbudi: «Luzimbwala kwena Tavidi: “Kinga kazodiku ndandu ya mukhetu, kaka khama ya bikhunzu bya Bafilisiti, mu kuvutula landu ku bambeni ba kinga.”» Kázola ni Tavidi kabwa mu moku ma Bafilisiti. ^a a v25 Kusonga bikhunzu bya bambeni hanga kidimbu kya batu bana báhonda, kikala kifu kizayakana muna Kanana dya khulu yi muna makanda mana mazyungila. ²⁶Basadi bandi bámuzimbwala Tavidi mambu mana; kyesi kimukwati mu kukituka nkwelani wa kinga. Ku thwala tangwa dina dyamana, ²⁷Tavidi yi batu bandi balubuki, báhonda Bafilisiti nkama zodi, amana bánata bikhunzu bya bawu kwena kinga, bátanga byosu ndangu kakituka nkwelani wa kinga. Buna Sawulu wámuheka mwana wandi Mikali hanga mukhetu wandi. ²⁸Buna Sawulu kámona amana kázaya ni Tata wetu kákala kumosi yi Tavidi, amana ni Mikali, mwana wandi, wámuzola, ²⁹Sawulu wáyukila Tavidi bweya kuluta, amana wákituka mbeni wa Tavidi muna bilumbu byandi byosu bya luzingu lwandi.

³⁰Batudibeni ba Bafilisiti bakala lubuka mu kwenda ku mvita, amana kosu mbala Tavidi wákala nunga kuluta basadi boosu ba Sawulu, buna khumbu yandi yábasa luzitu lwa lawu.
