Davide watsi asengakavuki nakuvuka ngakusasa ekuseni, livi laSimakadze labeselifikile kuGadi, umphrofethi, umboniswa waDavide, latsi:
1 Samuweli 22:4 - Siswati 1996 Bible Wase uyabaletsa, beta enkhosini yakaMowabi, bahlala nayo ngaso sonkhe leso sikhatsi, yena asesebhacile enqabeni. |
Davide watsi asengakavuki nakuvuka ngakusasa ekuseni, livi laSimakadze labeselifikile kuGadi, umphrofethi, umboniswa waDavide, latsi:
Davide wachubeka wahlasela nemaMowabi, wawehlula. Abebalalisa phansi emhlabatsini, bese ubulala babili njalo kulabatsatfu baletitfunjwa. Ngako emaMowabi ase aba ngaphansi kwakhe, aletsa imitselo yawo kuDavide.
Ngaleso sikhatsi Davide abesekhatsi enqabeni, kantsi libutfo lemaFilisti lona laliseBhetlehema.
Imininingwane ngekubusa kwaDavide, kusukela ekucaleni kuze kube ngusekugcineni, kubhaliwe emlandvweni waSamuweli, umboniswa, nasemlandvweni waNathani, umphrofethi, kanye nasemlandvweni waGadi, umboniswa.
Wemisa emaLevi ethempelini laSimakadze aphetse emasimbali, nemahabhu, nemalire ngayo yona leyo ndlela leyayimiswe nguDavide naGadi, umboniswa wenkhosi, kanye naNathani, umphrofethi. Loko bekungumyalo lowetfulwa nguSimakadze ngebaphrofethi bakhe.
Kodvwa ngamphendvula ngatsi: “Indvodza lenjengami ingabaleka yini iyewubhaca? Empeleni umuntfu lofanana nami angabaleka yini, abalekele kufa ayewubhaca ethempelini? Ngingeke ngiye!”
KuSimakadze ngitfole siphephelo. Pho, ngabe ningeluleka njani nanitsi: “Ndizela entsabeni njengenyoni!
Nabanitingela kulelinye lidolobha, nibobalekela kulelinye; ngobe ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Ningeke niwacedze onkhe emadolobha aka-Israyeli, iNdvodzana yemuntfu ingakabuyi.
Davide wesuka lapho waya eMispa yakaMowabi, wafike wakhuluma enkhosini yakhona, watsi: “Ngicela kukhontela bobabe namake bahlale lapha kakho, ngize ngati kahle kutsi Nkulunkulu utangentelani.”
Kodvwa umphrofethi Gadi wakhuluma kuDavide, watsi: “Ungahlali lapha enqabeni. Hamba uye eveni lakaJuda.” Ngako Davide wesuka wahamba, waya ehlatsini laseHarethi.
