20 ¹Davide anathawa ku Nayoti m'Rama, nadza kwa Yonatani, nati, “Ndachita chiyani? Kulakwa kwanga nkutani, ndipo ndakuchimwira bwanji atate wako, kuti afune moyo wanga?”

²Yonatani anayankha nati, “Sichoncho! Sudzafa. Atate wanga sabisa kwa ine kanthu kalikonse, kakulu kapena kakang'ono. Nanga n'chifukwa chiyani angandibisire ichi? Sizoona ayi.”

³Koma Davide analumbira nati, “Atate wako akudziwa bwino kuti ndapeza ufulu pamaso pako, ndipo wanena kuti, ‘Usamuuze Yonatani, kuti angadzamve chisoni.’ Komatu pali Atate wathu, ndiponso pali iwe, pakati pa ine ndi imfa patsala gawo limodzi lokha.”

⁴Yonatani anati kwa Davide, “Chilichonse chimene ufuna, ndidzakuchitira.”

⁵Davide anati, “Mawa ndi mwezi watsopano; ndiyenera kudya pamodzi ndi mfumu. Koma undilole ndibisale kuthengo mpaka madzulo a tsiku lachitatu. ^a a v5 Chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano chinali chikondwerero cha mwezi uliwonse chimene chinkalemba tsiku loyamba la mwezi wa Chihebri, chochitidwa ndi nsembe zapadera ndi phwando la pamodzi la mwambo pa tebulo la mfumu. ⁶Ngati atate wako atandisowa, unene kuti, ‘Davide anandipempha kuti apite mwachangu ku Betelehemu, mudzi wake, chifukwa cha nsembe ya pachaka ya fuko lake lonse.’ ⁷Ngati anena kuti, ‘Chabwino,’ ndiye kuti kapolo wako ali pamtendere. Koma ngati akwiya kwambiri, udziwe kuti watsimikiza kundichitira zoipa. ⁸Umchitire kapolo wako chifundo, pakuti unalowa naye pangano pamaso pa Atate wathu. Ngati ndine wolakwa, undiphe wekha; nanga undiperekera chifukwa chiyani kwa atate wako?”

⁹Yonatani anati, “Sichoncho! Ndikanadziwa kuti atate wanga akufuna kukuchitira zoipa, kodi sindikanakuuza?”

¹⁰Davide anafunsa nati, “Ndani adzandiuza ngati atate wako akuyankha mwankhanza?”

¹¹Yonatani anati, “Tiye, tipite kuthengo.” Ndipo awiriwo anatulukira limodzi. ¹²Yonatani anati kwa Davide, “Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, akhale mboni yanga! Ndidzayesa kufufuza maganizo a atate wanga mawa kapena tsiku lachitatu—ngati akufunira iwe zabwino, kodi sindidzatumiza uthenga ndi kukudziwitsa? ¹³Koma ngati atate wanga akufuna kukuchitira zoipa, Atate wathu andilange koopsa ngati sindidzakuchenjeza ndi kukutumiza upite mu mtendere. Atate wathu akhale nawe iwe, monga momwe anakhalira ndi atate wanga. ¹⁴Koma undionetse chikondi chosatha cha Atate wathu masiku onse a moyo wanga, kuti ndisafe. ¹⁵Usadule konse chifundo chako pa banja langa—ngakhale pamene Atate wathu adzachotsa adani onse a Davide pa dziko lapansi.” ¹⁶Choncho Yonatani anachita pangano ndi nyumba ya Davide, nati, “Atate wathu awerengere adani a Davide zoipa zawo.” ¹⁷Ndipo Yonatani anamlumbiritsanso Davide chifukwa cha chikondi chake pa iye, popeza anamkonda ngati moyo wake. ¹⁸Ndipo Yonatani anati, “Mawa ndi mwezi watsopano. Udzasoweka, popeza mpando wako udzakhala wopanda munthu. ¹⁹Tsiku lotsatira mawa, kuloza madzulo, utsike mwachangu kupita kumalo kumene unabisala pamene mavuto awa anayamba, nukhale pafupi ndi mwala wa Ezeli. ²⁰Ndidzaponya mivi itatu mbali yake, ngati kuti ndikulasa chandamale. ²¹Ndidzatuma mnyamata, nati, ‘Pita, kafufuze mivi.’ Ngati ndidzamuuza kuti, ‘Taona, ili uku kwako—ibweretse kuno,’ pamenepo ubwere; pali Atate wathu, uli pamtendere, palibe choopsa. ²²Koma ngati ndidzauza mnyamatayo kuti, ‘Taona, mivi ili patsogolo pako,’ pita—Atate wathu wakutuma kuti uchoke. ²³Ndipo za zimene ife ndi iwe tinakambirana—kumbukira, Atate wathu ndiye mboni pakati pa iwe ndi ine kwamuyaya.”

²⁴Choncho Davide anabisala kuthengo. Pamene mwezi watsopano unafika, mfumu inakhala pansi kuti idye. ²⁵Mfumu inakhala pa mpando wake wa chizolowezi pafupi ndi khoma, Yonatani anakhala moyang'anizana nayo, Abineri anakhala pambali pa Sauli—koma pa malo a Davide panalibe munthu. ²⁶Tsiku limenelo Sauli sananene kanthu, popeza anaganiza kuti, “Chinachake chachitika kwa Davide chomuchititsa kukhala wodetsedwa mwamwambo—ndithudi iye ndi wodetsedwa.” ^b b v26 Kukhala wodetsedwa mwamwambo kunali mkhalidwe wa kanthawi wa mwambo—wobwera chifukwa cha zinthu zambiri wamba—umene unaletsa munthu kutenga nawo mbali pa zakudya zopatulika kapena pa kupembedza.

²⁷Tsiku lotsatira, tsiku lachiwiri la mwezi, pa malo a Davide panalibenso munthu. Sauli anafunsa mwana wake Yonatani nati, “N'chifukwa chiyani mwana wa Yese sanabwere kudzadya, dzulo kapena lero?”

²⁸Yonatani anayankha nati, “Davide anandipempha kwambiri kuti ndimlole apite ku Betelehemu. ²⁹Iye anati, ‘Ndilole ndipite—banja lathu lili ndi nsembe mu mzinda, ndipo m'bale wanga wandilamula kuti ndipiteko. Ngati ndapeza ufulu pamaso pako, ndilole ndizembe ndikaone abale anga.’ Ndicho chifukwa chake iye sanabwere pa tebulo la mfumu.”

³⁰Sauli anamkwiyira Yonatani nati, “Iwe mwana wa mkazi wopanduka ndi wokhotakhota! Kodi sindikudziwa kuti wagwirizana ndi mwana wa Yese—kuchititsa manyazi iwe mwini, ndi kuchititsa manyazi amayi amene anakubala? ³¹Masiku onse amene mwana wa Yese ali ndi moyo pa dziko lapansi, iwe kaya ufumu wako sudzakhazikika. Tuma anthu akamtenge amubweretse kwa ine; iye ayenera kufa.”

³²Yonatani anafunsa atate wake nati, “N'chifukwa chiyani aphedwe? Wachita chiyani?”

³³Koma Sauli anamponyera mkondo wake kuti amuphe, kotero Yonatani anadziwa kuti atate wake anatsimikiza mtima kupha Davide. ³⁴Yonatani ananyamuka pa tebulo ali ndi mkwiyo woyaka, ndipo sanadye kanthu tsiku lachiwiri la mwezi, nachita chisoni chifukwa cha Davide, popeza atate wake anamchititsa manyazi.

³⁵M'mawa Yonatani anapita kuthengo kukakumana ndi Davide, ali ndi mnyamata wamng'ono. ³⁶Anauza mnyamata wake kuti, “Thamanga, ukafufuze mivi imene ndikuponya.” Pamene mnyamatayo ankathamanga, Yonatani anaponya muvi kudutsa patsogolo pake. ³⁷Pamene mnyamatayo anafika pa muvi umene Yonatani anaponya, Yonatani anamuitana nati, “Kodi muvi suli patsogolo pako?” ³⁸Yonatani anaitananso mnyamatayo nati, “Fulumira! Changa! Usayime!” Ndipo mnyamatayo anatola mivi, nabwera kwa mbuye wake. ³⁹Mnyamatayo sanadziwe chilichonse pa izi; anali Yonatani ndi Davide okha amene anadziwa tanthauzo lake. ⁴⁰Ndipo Yonatani anapatsa zida zake kwa mnyamatayo, nati kwa iye, “Pita, kazibwezere ku mzinda.”

⁴¹Mnyamatayo atachoka, Davide anadzuka kuchokera mbali ya kummwera ya mwala, nagwa pansi chafufumimba, nawerama katatu. Napsompsonana ndi kulirira pamodzi, koma Davide analira kwambiri. ⁴²Yonatani anati kwa Davide, “Pita mu mtendere—ife tonse tinalumbira m'dzina la Atate wathu kuti, ‘Atate wathu ndiye mboni pakati pa iwe ndi ine, ndi pakati pa zidzukulu zako ndi zanga, kwamuyaya.’” Davide ananyamuka napita; ndipo Yonatani anabwerera ku mzinda.
