14 ¹Ntsiku inango Yonatani, mwana wa Sauli, apanga nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo tenepa: “Ndzidze, tiwambuke tiende ku mbuto ya Afilisti iri ntsogolo mwathu,” mbwenye iye hapanga baba wace tayu. ²Sauli akhali n'khundu mwa Gibeya, pantsi pa muti wa romã ku Migroni, na amuna ninga 600. ³Ahiya, mwana wa Ahitubi, m'bale wa Ikabodi, mwana wa Finiyasi, mwana wa Eli, nyantsembe wa Baba wathu ku Xilo, akhabvala efodi. Anyankhondo akhadziwa tayu kuti Yonatani aenda kale. ^a a v3 Efodi ikhali nguwo yakupambulika ya nyantsembe, yakubvalwa pakufuna kubvundza Mulungu toera kutsogolerwa.

⁴Pakati-pakati pa njira zing'ono zidafuna Yonatani kuwambuka toera kuenda ku mbuto ya Afilisti, pakhali na thanthwe ku khundu ibodzi na thanthwe ku khundu inango—ibodzi dzina yace Bozezi, inango Seneni. ⁵Thanthwe ibodzi ikhali kumpoto, kuyang'ana ku Mikimaxi, inango kumwera, kuyang'ana ku Geba. ⁶Yonatani apanga nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo tenepa: “Ndzidze, tiwambuke tiende ku mbuto ya anthu anewa akukhonda kusidzirwa. Panango Baba wathu anadzaticitira cinthu, thangwi nkhabe cinthu cinankhondesa Iye kupulumusa na anthu azinji peno angasi.”

⁷Nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo atawira tenepa: “Citani pyonsene piri muntima mwanu. Ndokoni—ine ndiri na imwe, muntima na moyo.”

⁸Penepo Yonatani alonga tenepa: “Ife tinawambuka mbatienda kuna amuna anewa, mbatiadziwonesa. ⁹Angalonga tenepa: ‘Dikhirani mpaka tikwane kwa imwe,’ ife tinakhala pa mbuto yathu, nee tinakwira kuenda kuna iwo. ¹⁰Mbwenye angalonga tenepa: ‘Kwirani mudze kuna ife,’ ife tinakwira, thangwi Baba wathu aapereka kale m'manja mwathu—pyenepi ndi cizindikiro cathu.”

¹¹Awiri awa adzipangiza ku mbuto ya Afilisti. Afilisti alonga tenepa: “Onani, Ahebereu ari kubuluka m'maphako mudabisala iwo.” ¹²Amuna a pa mbuto ya nkhondo acemera Yonatani na nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo tenepa: “Kwirani mudze kuna ife, tinakupfundzisani cinthu.” Yonatani apanga nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo tenepa: “Kwira, unditowere nkumbuyo mwanga, thangwi Baba wathu aapereka m'manja mwa Izarayeli.”

¹³Yonatani akwira mukuphatirira na manja na miyendo, nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo ali nkumbuyo mwace. Afilisti agwa pamaso pa Yonatani, nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo mbaapha nkumbuyo mwace. ¹⁴Pa kumenya kwakutoma kweneku, Yonatani na nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo apha amuna ninga makumi mawiri mu mbuto ing'ono, ninga hafu ya munda.

¹⁵Kugopa kukulu kwabwera pa nkambi, pa munda na pa anyankhondo onsene; mbuto ya nkhondo na anyakupanda-panda agopambo, dziko yatetemera—kugopa kweneku kwabuluka kwa Baba wathu. ¹⁶Alindiri a Sauli ku Gibeya ya Benjamini ayang'ana, mbaona kuti mwinji wa Afilisti ukhamwazika, mbuthamanga konsene-konsene. ¹⁷Sauli apanga anyankhondo ace tenepa: “Lengesani mbaonani kuti mbani asowa.” Pidamala iwo kulengesa, aona kuti Yonatani na nyakuthukula pida pyace pya nkhondo nkhabepo.

¹⁸Sauli apanga Ahiya tenepa: “Bweresa muno bokosi ya Baba wathu,” thangwi n'dzidzi unoyu bokosi ya Baba wathu ikhali na Aizarayeli. ¹⁹Mu kulonga kwa Sauli na nyantsembe, phokoso ya nkambi wa Afilisti ikakamira kakamwe. Sauli apanga nyantsembe tenepa: “Koka nkono wako.”

²⁰Sauli na anyankhondo ace agumanyikana, mbafika ku nkhondo, mbagumana kuti Afilisti akhaphana okhene na maspada awo, mu cinyakanyaka cikulu. ²¹Ahebereu ale akhadaphatana na Afilisti kale, mbakwira pabodzi na iwo ku nkambi, iwombo abwerera toera kuphatana na Aizarayeli akhali na Sauli na Yonatani. ²²Pidabva amuna onsene a Izarayeli akhadabisala m'mapiri a Efraimu kuti Afilisti athawa, iwombo aathamangisa mwamphamvu mu nkhondo. ²³Natenepo Baba wathu apulumusa Izarayeli pa ntsiku ineyi, nkhondo mbipita kutsogolo kwa Beti-aveni.

Kudumbira Kwakusowa Nzeru kwa Sauli Kwafewesa Izarayeli

²⁴Anyankhondo a Izarayeli athupiswa kakamwe pa ntsiku ineyi, thangwi Sauli akhadaadumbirisa tenepa: “Atembereriwe munthu onsene anadya cakudya mbudzati kufika namaulo, mbandidzati kubwezera anyamalwa anga.” Nkhabe m'bodzi wa anyankhondo adabva kukoma kwa cakudya.

²⁵Anyankhondo onsene apita mu nsitu, mukhali na uci pantsi. ²⁶Pidapita iwo mu nsitu, uci ukhafambuka, mbwenye nkhabe m'bodzi adathukula djanja yace kuenda pamulomo pace, thangwi anyankhondo akhagopa kudumbira kule. ²⁷Mbwenye Yonatani nee akhadabva kuti baba wace akhadadumbirisa anyankhondo, natenepo iye afuthula nsonga ya ndodo yace, mbaidzika mu uci, mbaikha djanja pamulomo pace, maso ace mbayetimira. ²⁸Nyankhondo m'bodzi alonga tenepa: “Baba wanu adadumbirisa anyankhondo tenepa: ‘Atembereriwe munthu onsene anadya cakudya lero’—natenepo amuna aneta kakamwe.”

²⁹Yonatani atawira tenepa: “Baba wanga aphatanganyisa dziko. Onani kuti maso anga ayetimira tani thangwi yakulawa pang'ono uci uyu. ³⁰Mbapidadzakhala pyadidi kakamwe mbacidadya anyankhondo mwakusudzuka lero pya pfuma idalanda iwo kuna anyamalwa awo! Kukundwa kwa Afilisti nee kukhali kukulu tayu.” ³¹Pa ntsiku ineyi aafudza Afilisti kutomera ku Mikimaxi mpaka ku Aiyaloni, anyankhondo mbaneta kakamwe. ³²Anyankhondo athamangira pfuma, mbaphata mabira, ng'ombe na ana a ng'ombe, mbaapha pantsi, mbadya nyama na ciropa cace. ³³Munthu m'bodzi apanga Sauli tenepa: “Anyankhondo ari kudawira Baba wathu, mbadya nyama inaciropa.” Sauli alonga tenepa: “Imwe mwaswa cibverano. Gulusirani kuna ine mwala ukulu pano.”

³⁴Buluka penepo iye alonga tenepa: “Mwazikani pakati pa anyankhondo, mbamuapanga: m'bodzi na m'bodzi andibweresere ng'ombe yace peno bira yace, aiphere pano, mbadya—lekani kudawira Baba wathu mukudya nyama inaciropa.” Natenepo namasiku anewa m'bodzi na m'bodzi abweresa ng'ombe yace, mbaiphera penepo.

³⁵Sauli amanga guwa ya ntsembe kuna Baba wathu—iyi ikhali guwa yace yakutoma yakumangira Iye. ³⁶Sauli alonga tenepa: “Tiphtuluke tiende tithukize Afilisti namasiku ano, tiapande mpaka mamaco, mbatikhonda kusiya na m'bodzi wa iwo m'moyo.” Iwo atawira tenepa: “Citani pinakuoneka pyadidi kwa imwe.” Mbwenye nyantsembe alonga tenepa: “Tiendeni kuna Baba wathu pano.”

³⁷Natenepo Sauli abvundza Baba wathu tenepa: “Ndiphtuluke ndiende ndithukize Afilisti? Munadzaapereka kuna Izarayeli?” Mbwenye pa ntsiku ineyi Iye hantawira tayu. ³⁸Sauli alonga tenepa: “Bwerani pano, imwe atsogoleri onsene a anyankhondo, toera tidzindikire kuti kudawa uku kwacitika tani lero. ³⁹Ninga Baba wathu ule anapulumusa Izarayeli ali maso—maseze kudawa uku kuli kwa mwananga Yonatani, iye anafa kwenewene.” Mbwenye nkhabe m'bodzi pakati pa mbumba adatawira. ⁴⁰Iye apanga Izarayeli onsene tenepa: “Imwe limirani ku khundu ibodzi; ine na Yonatani mwananga ku khundu inango.” Mbumba yapanga Sauli tenepa: “Citani pinaoneka pyadidi kwa imwe.”

⁴¹Sauli aphembera tenepa: “Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, thangwi yanji lero nee mwatawira ntumiki wanu? Kudawa uku kungakhala kuli muna ine peno muna mwananga Yonatani, imwe Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, tawirani na Urimu; mbwenye kungakhala kuli mu mbumba yanu ya Izarayeli, tawirani na Tumimu.” Maere agwera Yonatani na Sauli; anyankhondo abuluswa pa mulando. ^b b v41 Urimu na Tumimu pikhali pinthu pyakucena pidakoyiwa mu efodi ya nyantsembe, pyakuphatisirwa toera kusaka ntawiro wa Mulungu kubulukira m'maere.

⁴²Sauli alonga tenepa: “Ponyani maere pakati pa ine na mwananga Yonatani.” Maere agwera Yonatani.

⁴³Sauli apanga Yonatani tenepa: “Ndipange pidacita iwe.” Yonatani atawira tenepa: “Ine ndalawa basi uci pang'ono na nsonga ya ndodo yanga. Cincino ndisafunika kufa.”

⁴⁴Sauli alonga tenepa: “Baba wathu andicitire tenepa, na kupita penepo, ungakhonda kufa kwenewene, iwe Yonatani.”

⁴⁵Anyankhondo apanga Sauli tenepa: “Kodi Yonatani afe—iye adakunda kukunda kukulu uku kwa Izarayeli? Nkhabe tayu! Ninga Baba wathu ali maso, nee tsisi ibodzi ya nsolo wace inadzagwa pantsi, thangwi iye acita pyenepi lero na ciphedzo ca Baba wathu.” Natenepo apulumusa Yonatani, iye mbakhonda kufa. ⁴⁶Buluka penepo Sauli alekerera kuthukiza Afilisti, Afilisti mbabwerera ku dziko yawo.
