1 Samuele 26 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

26 ¹Aziputi anadza kwa Sauli ku Gibeya, nati, “Kodi Davide sakubisala pa phiri la Hakila, loyang'anana ndi Yesimoni?” ²Ndipo Sauli ananyamuka napita ku chipululu cha Zifi ndi anthu 3,000 osankhidwa a Israeli, kukafunafuna Davide kumeneko. ³Sauli anamanga msasa pa phiri la Hakila loyang'anana ndi Yesimoni, m'mbali mwa msewu, pamene Davide anali kukhala m'chipululu. Davide ataona kuti Sauli wamutsatira ku chipululu, ⁴anatumiza azondi, nadziwa kuti Sauli wafikadi. ⁵Ndipo Davide anapita ku malo kumene Sauli anamanga msasa, naona pamene Sauli anagona pamodzi ndi Abineri mwana wa Neri, mkulu wa asilikali ake. Sauli anagona mkati mwa msasa, asilikali atamuzungulira. ⁶Davide anafunsa Ahimeleki Mhiti ndi Abisai mwana wa Zeruya, mbale wake wa Yowabu, nati, “Ndani adzatsika nane ku msasa wa Sauli?” Abisai anati, “Ine ndidzatsika nanu.”

⁷Davide ndi Abisai anafika kwa asilikali usiku. Sauli anagona tulo mkati mwa msasa, mkondo wake utazika pansi kumutu kwake, Abineri ndi asilikali atamuzungulira. ⁸Abisai anati kwa Davide, “Lero Atate wathu wapereka mdani wanu m'manja mwanu. Tsono mundilole ndimbaye pansi ndi mkondo kamodzi kokha—osafunika kumbaya kachiwiri.”

⁹Koma Davide anati kwa Abisai, “Usamuphe! Ndani angatukule dzanja lake kutsutsana ndi wodzozedwa wa Atate wathu, nakhala wopanda mlandu?” ¹⁰Davide anati, “Pali Atate wathu, Atate wathu adzamukantha; kapena tsiku lake lidzafika ndipo adzafa, kapena adzapita ku nkhondo ndipo adzawonongeka. ¹¹Zisatheke, pamaso pa Atate wathu, kuti nditukule dzanja langa kutsutsana ndi wodzozedwa wa Atate wathu. Tsopano tenga mkondo uli kumutu kwake, ndi botolo la madzi, ndipo tiye tizipita.”

¹²Davide anatenga mkondo ndi botolo la madzi pafupi ndi mutu wa Sauli, ndipo anachoka. Palibe amene anawaona, palibe amene anadziwa, ndipo palibe amene anadzuka, chifukwa tulo tofa nato tochokera kwa Atate wathu tinawagwera onse.

¹³Ndipo Davide anawoloka, naimirira pamwamba pa phiri lakutali, pakati pawo panali mpata waukulu. ¹⁴Nafuula kwa asilikali ndi kwa Abineri mwana wa Neri, nati, “Kodi suyankha, Abineri?” Abineri anayankha nati, “Ndiwe yani, akufuulira mfumu?”

¹⁵Davide anati kwa Abineri, “Kodi iwe sindiwe munthu? Ndani ali ngati iwe mu Israeli? Chifukwa chiyani sunalondera mbuye wako mfumu? Munthu wina anadza kudzapha mfumu, mbuye wako. ¹⁶Wachita zoipa. Pali Atate wathu, inu nonse muyenera kufa chifukwa simunalondera mbuye wanu, wodzozedwa wa Atate wathu. Tsopano taona—uli kuti mkondo wa mfumu ndi botolo la madzi zimene zinali kumutu kwake?”

¹⁷Sauli anazindikira mau a Davide, nati, “Kodi ndi mau ako, mwana wanga Davide?” Davide anati, “Ndi mau anga, mbuye wanga mfumu.”

¹⁸Nati, “Chifukwa chiyani mbuye wanga akuthamangitsa kapolo wake? Ndachita chiyani, cholakwa chotani m'manja mwanga? ¹⁹Tsopano mbuye wanga mfumu amve mau a kapolo wake. Ngati Atate wathu wakuutsani kuti mulimbane nane, Iye alandire nsembe; koma ngati ndi anthu amene achita zimenezi, atembereredwe pamaso pake—pakuti lero andipirikitsa ku gawo langa mwa cholowa chake, nati, ‘Pita, katumikire milungu ina.’ ²⁰Tsopano magazi anga asagwere pansi kutali ndi pamaso pa Atate wathu—pakuti mfumu ya Israeli yatuluka kudzasaka nthata imodzi, ngati wothamangitsa nkhwali m'mapiri.”

²¹Sauli anati, “Ndachimwa. Bwerera, Davide mwana wanga. Sindidzakuvutitsanso, popeza moyo wanga unali wamtengo wapatali pamaso pako lero. Ndachita zopusa, ndipo ndalakwa kwambiri.”

²²Davide anayankha nati, “Nawu mkondo wa mfumu. Mnyamata wina abwere adzawutenge. ²³Atate wathu amabwezera munthu aliyense molingana ndi chilungamo chake ndi kukhulupirika kwake. Lero anakuperekani m'manja mwanga, koma sindinafune kutukula dzanja langa kutsutsana ndi wodzozedwa wake. ²⁴Monga momwe ndawulemekeza moyo wanu lero, Atate wathu alemekeze moyo wanga, nandipulumutse ku masautso onse.”

²⁵Sauli anati kwa Davide, “Wodala iwe, mwana wanga Davide—udzachita zinthu zazikulu, ndipo udzapambanadi.” Ndipo Davide anapita njira yake, Sauli nabwerera kwawo.
