1Beza abaseZifi kuSawule eGibheha, bathi, Bendisithi na, uDavide uzimele endulini yeHagila, ngaseYesimon?

2Wagqiba uSawule, wehla waya entlango yeZifi, enamadoda angamawaka amathathu ahleliweyo akwaSirayeli, eya kufuna uDavide entlango yaseZifi.

3uSawule wamisa endulini yeHagila, ngakuYesmon, ngasendleleni. Ke uDavide wayehleli entlango, wabona uSawule emlandela entlango.

4uDavide wasusa iintlola, weva ukuba uSawule uzile kakuhle.

5Wemka uDavide, waya kuloo ndawo ebemise kuyo uSawule; Wayibona uDavide indawo alele kuyo uSawule, noAbhinere unyana kaNere, umthetheli womkhosi; uSawule wayelele emhadini, yaye abantu bamise iintente kufutshane naye.

6Waphendula uDavide, wathi kuAhimeleki umHeti, nakuAbhishayi, unyana kaTseruya, umntakwabo-Yowabhi, Ngubani na oya kuhla nam aye kuSawule emkhosini? Wathi uAbhishayi, Ndiya kuhla nawe.

7Wafika uDavide noAbhishayi ebantwini ebusuku. Nanko uSawule elele emhadini, igxunyekiwe intshuntshe yakhe emhlabeni ngasemhadini, uAbhinere namadoda elele, bemlalele ngaphakathi.

8Wathi uAbhishayi kuDavide, uThixo ulunikele namhla utshaba lwakho esandleni sakho; Andiyi kumbetha nangentshuntshe nakanye, ndingayi kumeyisa okwesibini.

9Wathi uDavide kuAbhishayi, Musa ukumtshabalalisa; ngokuba ngubani na ongasolula isandla sakhe kumthanjiswa kaYehova omsulwa?

10uDavide wongezelela wathi, NgoYehova ovayo, uYehova uya kumvelela; nokuba iya kufika imini yakhe yokufa; okanye uya kuhla aye emfazweni, atshabalale.

11Wandinqanda uYehova ukuba ndingasoluli isandla sam kumthanjiswa kaYehova; kodwa thabatha umkhonto ngasemphongolweni wakhe nasemnqamlezweni wamanzi, sihambe.

12uDavide wathabatha intshuntshe, nonqamlezo lwamanzi kumphongolo kaSawule; barhoxa, akwabakho bani ubonayo, nokwaziyo, novukayo; kuba bonke babephethukile; ngokuba balele ebuthongweni obukhulu bukaYehova.

13Wesuka uDavide, waya kwelinye icala, wema encotsheni yenduli ekude; umgama phakathi kwabo:

14Wababiza abantu uDavide, noAbhinere, unyana kaNere, wathi, Akuphenduli na, Abhinere? Waphendula uAbhinere, wathi, Ungubani na wena ubiza ukumkani?

15Wathi uDavide kuAbhinere, Akuyindoda elikroti na? yaye ngubani na onjengawe kwaSirayeli? Yini na ukuba ungayisindisanga inkosi yakho, kumkani? ngokuba kufike umntu ebantwini, eza konakalisa ukumkani wakho.

16Ayilungile le nto uyenzileyo. Ehleli nje uYehova, nifanelwe kukufa, ngenxa yokuba aniyikhuselanga inkosi yenu, umthanjiswa kaYehova. Ngoku khawujonge apho umkhonto wokumkani kunye nomnqamlezo wamanzi wawukumphongolo wakhe.

17Walazi uSawule ilizwi likaDavide, wathi, Lilizwi lakho na elo, Davide, nyana wam? Wathi uDavide, Lilo eli ilizwi lam, nkosi yam, nkosi yam!

18Wathi, Yini na ukuba inkosi yam imsukele ngolu hlobo umkhonzi wayo? Ndenze bubi buni na, siyintoni na esandleni sam?

19Ke ngoko inkosi yam ukumkani mayikhe iwaphulaphule amazwi omkhonzi wayo. Ukuba uYehova ekuxhobisile kum, makawamkele umbingelelo; Ke oonyana babantu baqalekisiwe phambi koYehova; ngenxa yokuba namhlanje bandigxothile ukuba ndingahlali elifeni likaYehova, besithi, ‘Hamba uye kukhonza abanye oothixo.

20Ke kaloku igazi lam alifanele liwele emhlabeni phambi koYehova, ngenxa yokuba ukumkani wakwaSirayeli waphuma waya kufuna iintakumba njengokuzingela ezintabeni.

21Wathi uSawule, Ndidanile; buya, nyana wam Davide, ngokuba andiyi kuba sakwenza nto imbi, ngokuba umphefumlo wam ubunqabile emehlweni akho namhla;

22Waphendula uDavide, wathi, Nantsi intshuntshe yokumkani; makeze omnye wabafana, ayithabathe.

23Ngamana uYehova angabuyisela ubulungisa bakhe nokuthembeka kwakhe elowo nalowo, ngenxa yokuba namhlanje uYehova ubunikele esandleni sam, kodwa andivumanga ukusa isandla sam phezu kothanjisiweyo kaYehova.

24Yabonani, njengoko umphefumlo wenu uqinile emehlweni am, kwada kwayile mini, ngamana umphefumlo wam ungama phambi koYehova, andisindise kuko konke ukubandezeleka.

25Wathi uSawule kuDavide, Usikelelwe, nyana wam, Davide; ngokuba wenze izinto ezinkulu, woyise. Wahamba ke uDavide, waza uSawule wabuyela endlwini yakhe.
