1 Samuweli 29 UDavid ukhuluma no-Agis

¹ AmaFilisti abutha zonke izimpi zawo e-Afeki; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamisa ngasemthonjeni oseJizreyeli.

² Izikhulu zamaFilisti zadabula ngamakhulu nangezinkulungwane, kepha uDavide nabantu bakhe bahamba no-Akhishi ngomvuzo.

³ Zase zithi izikhulu zamaFilisti: “Enzani la maHeberu lapha na? U-Akhishi wayesethi ezikhulwini zamaFilisti: “Lo akasiye uDavide inceku kaSawule, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, obe nami kulezi zinsuku noma le minyaka, futhi angitholanga cala kuye selokhu wangiwela? lolu suku?

⁴ Izikhulu zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izikhulu zamaFilisti zathi kuye: “Lowo muntu makabuyele emuva, abuyele endaweni yakhe owammisela yona, angehli nathi ukulwa, funa ukulwa nathi empini.” hhayi. Ngoba ubeyakuzibuyisa ngani enkosini yakhe? Akufanele yini kube ngamakhanda alaba bantu?

⁵ Akuyena yini uDavide abahlabelela ngaye ekusineni, bathi: “USawule ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe, uDavide amashumi ezinkulungwane zakhe na?”

⁶ U-Akhishi wayesembiza uDavide, wathi kuye: “Ngempela, kuphila kukaJehova, wena ulungile, nokuphuma kwakho nokungena kwakho nami empini kuhle emehlweni ami; ngokuba angifumananga bubi kuwe kusukela osukwini lokufika kwakho kimi kuze kube namuhla;

⁷ Ngakho buya khathesi, uhambe ngokuthula, hlezi uthukuthelise iziphathamandla zamaFilisti.

⁸ UDavide wayesethi ku-Akhishi: “Ngenzeni na? Ufumeneni encekwini yakho zonke izinsuku ngisenawe kuze kube namuhla ukuba ngingehambe ngilwe nezitha zenkosi yami, inkosi, na?

⁹ U-Akhishi wayesephendula, wathi kuDavide: “Ngiyazi ukuthi ulungile emehlweni ami njengengelosi kaNkulunkulu; lanxa izikhulu zamaFilisti zathi: Kayikukhuphuka lathi ekulweni.

¹⁰ Ngakho-ke kumelwe uvuke ekuseni kanye nezinceku zenkosi yakho eza nawe; futhi lapho nje uvuka ekuseni kakhulu futhi ukhanyise, hamba.

¹¹ UDavida labantu bakhe bavuka ekuseni kakhulu ukuze babuyele elizweni lamaFilisti. AmaFilisti akhuphukela eJizreyeli.
