Igice 29.

Nuko Abafilisitiya bakoranyiriza ingabo zabo zose i Afeki, Isirayeli na bo bari bakambitse hafi y’isôko i Yezireeli. Abatware b’Abafilisitiya bariko barasohoka bagenda ku magana no ku bihumbi, Dawidi na bagabo biwe na bo baja inyuma na Akishi.

Abategetsi b’Abafilisitiya babaza bati: “Aba Baheburayo bariko bagira iki ng’aha?” Akishi na we ababwira ati: “Uyu ni Dawidi, umusuku wa Sauli umwami wa Isirayeli. Amaze iminsi ari kumwe nanje—ng’o, imyaka myinshi—kandi kuva umusi yantoroka akaza iwanje gushika ubu, nta kabi na kamwe namusangamwo.”

Ariko abategetsi b’Abafilisitiya baramurakariye bati: “Subiza uwo mugabo i wabo mu kibanza wamuhaye. Ntaze aje mu rugamba hamwe natwe, kugira ngo ntaze aduhindukirire mu gihe c’intambara. Yotegura gute gusubirana urukundo rwa shebuja kuruta kudutwara imitwe y’abagabo bacu? Mbega uyu si wa Dawidi bararirimba mu makinamo yabo bati: ‘Sauli yishe ibihumbi vyiwe, Dawidi na we ibihumbi mirongo icumi vyiwe’?”

Nuko Akishi ahamagara Dawidi aramubwira ati: “Nk’uko Uhoraho abaho, uri umunyakuri, kandi noshima ko usohoka ukinjirana nanje mu nkambi. Nta kabi na kamwe nagusangamwo kuva umusi waje iwanje gushika ubu. Ariko abatware ntibakwemera. Ubu rero subira inyuma ugende amahoro, kugira ngo ntugire ico ushavuza abatware b’Abafilisitiya.”

Dawidi na we ariyamirira ati: “Mbega nakoze iki? Ni ikihe kibi wasanze ku musuku wawe kuva umusi naje iwawe gushika ubu, kugira ngo sinje kurwanya abansi ba databuja umwami?”

Akishi abwira Dawidi ati: “Ndazi ko kuri jewe uri mwiza nk’umumarayika w’Imana. Yamara, abategetsi b’Abafilisitiya bavuze bati: ‘Ntaze adukorane mu rugamba.’ Ni co gituma uzovyuke kare mu gitondo, wewe hamwe n’abasuku ba shobuja baje nawe; muvyuke kare, muce mugenda bukeye.”

Nuko Dawidi na bagabo biwe bavyuka kare kugira basubire mu gihugu c’Abafilisitiya bukeye, Abafilisitiya na bo baduga baja i Yezireeli.
