Ukwizera kwa Yonatani kwirukana Abafilisitiya

Yonatani yurira umwanya ari kumwe gusa n'uwumutwaza ibirwanisho, avuga ko Data ashobora gukiza abicishije ku benshi canke ku bake, maze ingando y'Abafilisitiya ikadurumbana mu bwoba. Hanyuma Sawuli yonona uwo musi kw'indahiro yo kubuza kurya; Yonatani asomako ubuki, ubuzima bwiwe bugakizwa gusa n'uko ingabo zanse.

Igice 14.

Umusi umwe Yonatani umwana wa Sauli abwira umusore amutwaza ibirwanisho ati: “Ingo, duce tuje ku rutara rw’Abafilisitiya rwadushikirije,” ariko ntiyabimenyesha se. Sauli yari yicaye ku rubibe rwa Gibeya musi y’igiti c’umukomamanga i Migironi, afise abagabo nk’amajana atandatu. Ahiya umwana wa Ahitubu, mwene wabo na Ikabodi, umwana wa Fineyasi, umwana wa Eli, umuherezi wa Data wa twese i Shilo, ni we yambaye efodi. Ingabo ntizari zizi yuko Yonatani yagiye. ^a

Hagati y’ivyanya Yonatani yariko arondera kucamwo aja ku rutara rw’Abafilisitiya, hari ikibuye kinini gihagaze ku ruhande rumwe n’ikindi kibuye kinini ku rundi ruhande, kimwe citwa Bozezi, ikindi Seneya. Ikibuye kimwe cari gihagaze mu buraruko, kwerekeye i Mikimasi, ikindi mu bumanuko, kwerekeye i Geba. Yonatani abwira umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho ati: “Ingo, duce tuje kuri uru rutara rw’abatakebwe. Kumbure Data wa twese azodukorera; nta kintu kimubuza gukiza ari benshi canke ari bake.”

Umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho ati: “Gira ivyo ushaka vyose mu mutima wawe. Genda, ndi kumwe nawe, umutima n’ubuzima.”

Nuko Yonatani ati: “Tuzoca tuje kuri abo bagabo, tureke babone. Nimba babwira bati: ‘Nimurindire gushika tubashikira,’ tuzoguma aho tutari kwurira ngo tubashikire. Ariko nimba bavuze bati: ‘Nimuduurireko,’ tuzoca tuzamuka, kuko Data wa twese azoba yabashize mu maboko yacu, ni co kizoba ari ikimenyetso cacu.”

Bompi biyereka urutara rw’Abafilisitiya. Abafilisitiya bati: “Raba, Abaheburayo bava mu nyenga bariho binyegeza.” Abagabo bo ku rutara bahamagara Yonatani n’umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho bati: “Nimuduurireko, tubigishe icigwa.” Yonatani abwira umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho ati: “Zamuka unkurikire, kuko Data wa twese yabashize mu maboko ya Isirayeli.”

Yonatani yurira ku maboko n’amaguru, umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho amukurikiye; Abafilisitiya baguma imbere ya Yonatani, umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho abicira inyuma yiwe. Muri iryo tero rya mbere, Yonatani n’umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho bishe abagabo nka mirongo ibiri mu kibanza nk’igice c’ikibuga.

Ubwoba bwinjira mu nkambi, mu maswa no mu ngabo zose; abo ku rutara n’abambuzi na bo barajugumira, isi iranyiganyiga, ubwoba buva kuri Data wa twese. Abacungezi ba Sauli i Gibeya ya Benyamini barihweza, bona uruteri rw’Abafilisitiya rushongesha, rutataganijwe hose. Sauli abwira ingabo ziwe ati: “Nimuharure murabe uwaguye.” Bamaze guharura, basanga Yonatani n’umutwazi wiwe w’ibirwanisho bagiye.

Sauli abwira Ahiya ati: “Zana isandugu ya Data wa twese ng’aha,” kuko ico gihe isandugu ya Data wa twese yari kumwe n’Abisirayeli. Sauli akiyaga n’umuherezi, urwamo rwo mu nkambi y’Abafilisitiya ruragwira ruba rwinshi cane. Sauli abwira umuherezi ati: “Kura ukuboko kwawe.”

Sauli n’ingabo ziwe bahuriza hamwe, bashika mu rugamba, basanga inkota z’Abafilisitiya zihindukiranye, hari urujijo rwinshi. Abaheburayo bari baratanguye kwifatanya n’Abafilisitiya bakazamukana na bo mu nkambi, na bo bahindukira bisanisha n’Abisirayeli bari kumwe na Sauli na Yonatani. Abagabo b’Abisirayeli bose bari binyegeje mu misozi ya Efurayimu bumvise yuko Abafilisitiya bahunze, na bo baca babakurikirana cane mu rugamba. Nuko Data wa twese arokora Isirayeli uwo musi, naho urugamba rwaguma rwikwirira hakurya ya Beti-aveni.

Indahiro ihubutse ya Sauli igoyagoza Isirayeli

Ingabo za Isirayeli zarashikirijwe cane uwo musi, kuko Sauli yari yarabagize indahiro ati: “Havumwe uwuzorya ivyokurya imbere y’umugoroba, imbere yuko ndihoza ku bansi banje.” Nta n’umwe mu ngabo yahonja ivyokurya.

Ingabo zose zinjira mw’ishamba, hari ubuki hasi. Binjira mw’ishamba, ubuki bwariko bwidurika, ariko nta n’umwe yaduza ukuboko ku kanwa, kuko ingabo zatinya iyo ndahiro. Ariko Yonatani ntiyari yarumvise yuko se yagize ingabo indahiro, aca arambura impera y’inkoni yiwe, ayijujubiza mu rutara rw’ubuki, ashira ukuboko ku kanwa, amaso yiwe aramurika. Umusoda umwe ati: “So yagize ingabo indahiro ati: ‘Havumwe uwuzorya ivyokurya uyu musi,’ ni co gituma abagabo baruhuka.”

Yonatani ati: “Dawe yateje agahaze mu gihugu. Raba ingene amaso yanje yamuritse kubera ndahonjeko gato kuri ubu buki. None, iyo ingabo ziryoherwa zikarya uyu musi ku minyago y’abansi bazo, vyari kuba vyiza kuruta! Kurwanya Abafilisitiya ntivyagize ingana.” Uwo musi batsinda Abafilisitiya kuva i Mikimasi gushika i Ayaloni, ingabo ziruha gushika ku gushira intege zose. Ingabo zisandabira ku minyago, zica zifata intama, inka n’inyana, zibicira hasi, zirya inyama zifisemwo amaraso. Umuntu abwira Sauli ati: “Ingabo zariko zicumura kuri Data wa twese, zariko zirya inyama zikiriko amaraso.” Sauli ati: “Mwagumutse. Nimunzingurukirize ng’aha ikibuye kinini.”

Nuko ati: “Nimukwiragire mu ngabo muzibwire ngo: ‘Umwe wese anzanire ikimasa ciwe canke intama yiwe, akibagire ng’aha, akirye, ntiwiceceshe kuri Data wa twese mu kurya inyama zifisemwo amaraso.’ ” Nuko muri iryo joro umwe wese azana ikimasa ciwe akicabagira ng’aho.

Sauli yubakira Data wa twese igicaniro, ni co gicaniro ca mbere yamwubakiye. Sauli ati: “Tumanuke dukurikire Abafilisitiya muri iri joro, tubanyage gushika mu museke, ntihagire n’umwe dusigaza.” Bamwishura bati: “Gira ico ubona ko ari co ciza.” Ariko umuherezi ati: “Tube turi hafi ya Data wa twese ng’aha.”

Nuko Sauli abaza Data wa twese ati: “Mbe nomanuka nkurikire Abafilisitiya? Uzobashira mu maboko ya Isirayeli?” Ariko ntiyamwishura uwo musi. Sauli ati: “Nimwegere ng’aha, mwebwe bakuru b’ingabo mwese, tumenye ingene iki caha cabaye uyu musi. Ndahiye Data wa twese arokora Isirayeli uko ari muzima, naho ico caha coba kiri ku mwana wanje Yonatani, ategerezwa gupfa.” Ariko nta n’umwe mu bantu yamwishuye. Abwira Isirayeli yose ati: “Mwebwe nimube ku ruhande rumwe; nanje na Yonatani umwana wanje tube ku rundi.” Abantu babwira Sauli bati: “Gira ivyo ubona ko ari vyiza.”

Sauli asenga ati: “Data wa twese, Mana ya Isirayeli, ni kuki utishuye umusavyi wawe uyu musi? Nimba iki caha kiri kuri jewe canke ku mwana wanje Yonatani, Data wa twese, Mana ya Isirayeli, nishure n’Urimu; mugabo nimba kiri ku bantu bawe Isirayeli, nishure na Tumimu.” Akalulu kagwa kuri Yonatani na Sauli, ingabo zigira umwere. ^b

Sauli ati: “Nimuterere akalulu hagati yanje n’umwana wanje Yonatani.” Akalulu kagwa kuri Yonatani.

Sauli abwira Yonatani ati: “Mbwira ivyo wakoze.” Yonatani yishura ati: “Nahonjeko gusa ubuki buke ku mpera y’inkoni yanje. None ndategerezwa gupfa.”

Sauli ati: “Data wa twese angirire gutyo, akongere anyongereko, nutaba ngo upfe koko, Yonatani.”

Ingabo zibwira Sauli ziti: “Mbega Yonatani yopfa, we yatsindiye Isirayeli iyi ntsinzi ihambaye? Ntibizoshoboka! Ndahira Data wa twese uko ari muzima, nta n’urwoya rumwe rwo ku mutwe wiwe ruzogwa hasi, kuko ivyo yakoze uyu musi yabikoranye ubufasha bwa Data wa twese.” Nuko barokora Yonatani, ntiyapfa. Nuko Sauli ahagarika gukurikirana Abafilisitiya, Abafilisitiya basubira mu gihugu cabo.

Intambara za Sauli n’umuryango wiwe
