1 Samuweli 9 - Siswati 1996 Bible

Kuhlangana kwaboSawula naSamuweli

¹ Kwakukhona indvodza leyayingumBhenjamini, injingile futsi yatiwa. Libito layo bekunguKhishi, umsa wa-Abiyeli, umsa waSerori, umsa waBekorathi, umsa wa-Afiya, wesive sakaBhenjamini.

² Yayinendvodzana leyayinguSawula, libhungu lelalilihle kakhulu lehlula onkhe ema-Israyeli, lilidze kwendlula onkhe ema-Israyeli, bonkhe labanye bantfu babekhawula emahlombe alo.

³ Timbongolo taKhishi, uyise waSawula, talahleka; Khishi wabe sewukhuluma kumsa wakhe, Sawula, watsi: “Tsatsa sinye setisebenti uhambe naso uyewufuna letimbongolo.”

⁴ Ngako wahamba wadzabula live laka-Efrayimu letintsaba, wahamba nangaseveni lelingaseShalisha, kodvwa abazange batitfole. Bachubeka bangena esigodzini saseShalimu, kodvwa timbongolo tatingekho lapho. Bachubeka badzabula live lakaBhenjamini, kodvwa abazange batitfole nalapho.

⁵ Batsi kube befike esifundzeni saseSufi, Sawula wakhuluma kulesisebenti labehamba naso, watsi: “Wota sincandzeke, ngaphandle kwaloko babe angeke abe asacabanga kakhulu ngaletimbongolo, kodvwa esikhundleni saloko utawube sewukhatsateka ngatsi.”

⁶ Kodvwa lesisebenti saphendvula satsi: “Ase ubuke la, kulelidolobha kunemuntfu waNkulunkulu, uhlonishwa kakhulu, konkhe lakushoko kuba liciniso, futsi kwenteke. Asambe siye khona nyalo. Mhlawumbe angahle asitjele kutsi kufanele sibheke ngakuphi.”

⁷ Sawula wakhuluma esisebentini sakhe, watsi: “Nangabe siya kuye nyalo sitawufike simnikeni? Kudla bekulapha emasakeni etfu sekuphelile. Kute sipho lesingahamba naso siye kulomuntfu waNkulunkulu. Yini nje lesinayo?”

⁸ Sisebenti samphendvula futsi, satsi: “Ase ubuke, ngineluhlavu lwesiliva lolungemagremu langaba matsatfu. Ngitalunika lomuntfu waNkulunkulu, khona atesitjela kutsi singatsatsa yiphi indlela.”

⁹ Kadzeni ka-Israyeli nangabe umuntfu aye kuyawubuta kuNkulunkulu, abetsi: “Kota, siye kumboniswa,” ngobe umphrofethi wangaleso sikhatsi abebitwa ngekutsi ngumboniswa.

¹⁰ Sawula wakhuluma kulesisebenti sakhe, watsi: “Kulungile, kota sambe.” Ngako besuka bahamba baya kulelo dolobha, lapho bekukhona khona lomuntfu waNkulunkulu.

¹¹ Batsi basenyuka leligcuma baya kulelidolobha, bahlangana nemantfombatana aphuma kulo, ayakukha emanti, base bayawabuta batsi: “Ukhona yini umboniswa lapha?”

¹² Abaphendvula atsi: “Ukhona, nilandzela yena nje. Sheshisani manje usandza kufika lamuhla kulelidolobha lakitsi, ngobe bantfu banemnikelo wemhlatjelo lena elatini endzaweni lephakeme.

¹³ Nitawutsi nisangena edolobheni, nimkhandze asengakaphumi kwenyukela entsabeni kuyakudla. Bantfu bangeke bacale kudla angakefiki, ngobe phela kufanele awubusise lomhlatjelo; emvakwaloko-ke, labo labamenyiwe batawube sebayadla. Yenyukani, nifanele kumkhandza ngaso lesikhatsi.”

¹⁴ Bavele benyukela edolobheni, batsi basangena nje kulo, bambona Samuweli, eta ngakubo, asendleleni lecondze etulu entsabeni.

¹⁵ Kwakutsite ngayitolo, Sawula asengakefiki, Simakadze wembulela Samuweli ngaloku, watsi:

¹⁶ “Kusasa ngaso lesikhatsi ngitakutfumelela indvodza lephuma eveni lakaBhenjamini. Uboyigcoba ibe ngumholi etikwesive sami sema-Israyeli. Utawukhulula bantfu bami esandleni semaFilisti. Labantfu bami sengibabukile, nekukhala kwabo sekufikile kimi.”

¹⁷ Watsi Samuweli nakabona Sawula, Simakadze wakhuluma kuye, watsi: “Nangu-ke lomuntfu lengikhulume ngaye kuwe. Nguye lotawubusa sive sami.”

¹⁸ Sawula wacondza kuSamuweli esangweni, wafike wabuta, watsi: “Ngicela kubuta kutsi ungete wangikhombisa yini indlu yemboniswa?”

¹⁹ Samuweli waphendvula watsi: “Ngimi umboniswa. Yenyuka uhambe embikwami uye etulu entsabeni, ngobe lamuhla utakudla kanye nami, bese kutsi kusasa ekuseni ngikukhulule uhambe, ngikutjele konkhe lokusenhlitiyweni yakho.

²⁰ Macondzana netimbongolo letinilahlekele kulamalanga lamatsatfu lendlulile, ungakhatsateki ngato; setitfolakele. Sifiso sesive sonkhe sema-Israyeli sijike sacondzana nabani, ngaphandle kwakho nemndeni weyihlo?”

²¹ Sawula wamphendvula watsi: “Kantsi mine angisiye umBhenjamini yini, lophuma esiveni lesincane kakhulu ka-Israyeli, lona lusendvo lwakitsi aluluncane kakhulu yini kunato tonkhe tinsendvo tesive sakaBhenjamini? Pho, ukhulumelani kimi kanjalo?”

²² Samuweli watsatsa Sawula nesisebenti sakhe, wabafaka endlini lenkhulu yekudlela, wabahlalisa embili kakhulu kwalabo lababemenyiwe, lababengaba ngema-30 sebabonkhe.

²³ Samuweli wakhuluma kulompheki, watsi: “Letsa lelicatsa lenyama lengikunike lona, lona lelo lengitsite libeke eceleni.”

²⁴ Ngako lompheki watsatsa lomlente kanye naloko lokwakusetikwawo, wakubeka embikwaSawula. Samuweli wakhuluma watsi: “Naku-ke loku bewubekelwe kona. Kudle, ngobe bekubekelwe wena macondzana nalomsebenti, kusukela mhlazana ngitsi: ‘Ngimeme tivakashi.’ ” Ngako Sawula wadla naSamuweli ngalelo langa.

²⁵ Emvakwekwehla kwabo, etulu entsabeni, behlela phansi edolobheni, Samuweli wakhuluma naSawula asendlini yakhe lesetulu.

Kugcotjwa kwaSawula nguSamuweli kutsi abe yinkhosi

²⁶ Samuweli wavuka ekuseni ngeluvivi, wenyukela kuSawula labesendlini lesetulu, wafike watsi: “Tilungiselele, sengitakubuyisela ekhaya.” Watsi kube Sawula atilungiselele, yena naSamuweli base baphumela ngaphandle kanyekanye.

²⁷ Batsi basehla baya emaphetselweni elidolobha, Samuweli wakhuluma watsi: “Tjela lesisebenti kutsi sigijimele embili, embikwetfu.” Lesisebenti savele sahamba, Samuweli wachubeka watsi: “Ase uhlale lapha sikhashana, khona ngitekunika umlayeto lophuma kuNkulunkulu.”
