20 ¹Dhavidhi athawa ku Naiote wa ku Rama, mbabwera kuna Yonatani, mbalonga kuti: “Ndacitanji? Mulando wanga ndi wanji, pontho ndadawira tani baba wako, mpaka iye asafuna umaso wanga?”

²Yonatani atawira tenepa: “Nkhabe! Iwe nkhabe kufa. Baba wanga asandipanga pyonsene, pikulu peno ping'ono. Thangwi yanji mbadabisa ipi kuna ine? Si pyandimo tayu.”

³Mbwenye Dhavidhi adadumbira pontho, mbalonga kuti: “Baba wako asadziwa mwadidi kuti ndagumana ntsisi pamaso pako, natenepa iye alonga kuti: ‘Leka kupanga Yonatani, toera iye akhonde kutsukwala.’ Mbwenye ninga Baba wathu ali maso, pontho ninga iwe uli maso, pakati pa ine na kufa pasala ntsamba ubodzi basi.”

⁴Yonatani apanga Dhavidhi: “Cionsene cinafuna iwe, ndinakucitira.”

⁵Dhavidhi alonga kuti: “Mangwana ndi muyezi upsa; ndisafunika kudya pabodzi na mambo. Ndisiye ndibise m'munda mpaka namasiku acitatu. ^a a v5 Phwando ya muyezi upsa ikhali cikondwerero ca mwezi na mwezi cakuti cikhadzindikira ntsiku yakutoma ya mwezi wa Ahebheri, cakuti cikhacitwa na ntsembe zakupambulika na phwando ikulu ya pabodzi pa meza ya mambo. ⁶Baba wako angandisowa, mpange kuti: ‘Dhavidhi andiphemba mwamphinga toera aende mwakucimbiza ku Bhetelehemu, nzinda wace, thangwi ya ntsembe ya pyaka yace ya dzindza yace yonsene.’” ⁷Iye angalonga kuti: ‘Pyadidi,’ ntumiki wako ali pa ntendere. Mbwenye iye angaipirwa kakamwe, dziwa mwadidi kuti iye asankhula kundicitira pyakuipa. ⁸Pangiza ntumiki wako kukoma ntima—iwe wandiikha m'cibverano cako pamaso pa Baba wathu. Ndingakhala na mulando, ndipha iwe wekhene; thangwi yanji kundipereka kuna baba wako?

⁹Yonatani alonga kuti: “Nkhabe! Ndingadadziwa kuti baba wanga asafuna kukucitira pyakuipa, mbindadakupanga tayu?”

¹⁰Dhavidhi abvundza: “Mbani anandipanga baba wako angakutawira mwaukali?”

¹¹“Ndzeni,” alonga Yonatani, “tiende kunja ku munda.” Na tenepo awiri awa abuluka pabodzi. ¹²Yonatani apanga Dhavidhi: “Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, khalani mboni yanga! Ndinasaka kudziwa manyerezero a baba wanga mangwana peno pa ntsiku yacitatu—iye angakukomerwa, mbindadzakutumira mphangwa na kukudziwisa tayu? ¹³Mbwenye baba wanga angafuna kukucitira pyakuipa, Baba wathu andilange kakamwe ndingakhonda kukudziwisa na kukutuma uende mwa ntendere. Baba wathu akhale na iwe, ninga mukhalire iye na baba wanga. ¹⁴Mbwenye ndipangize kufuna kwakukhonda kumala kwa Baba wathu, mu ntsiku zonsene zinakhala ine maso, toera ndikhonde kufa. ¹⁵Leka kugwanda kukoma ntima kwako kuna banja yanga—ngakhalambo n'dzidzi unagwanda Baba wathu nyamalwa onsene a Dhavidhi pa ntsi pano.” ¹⁶Yonatani acita cibverano na nyumba ya Dhavidhi, mbalonga kuti: “Baba wathu asake mulando kuna anyamalwa a Dhavidhi.” ¹⁷Yonatani acitisa pontho Dhavidhi kudumbira thangwi ya kufuna kwace kuna iye, thangwi iye akhan'funa ninga umaso wace. ¹⁸Na tenepo Yonatani alonga kuti: “Mangwana ndi muyezi upsa. Iwe unadzasoweka, thangwi mpando wako unadzakhala wacabe. ¹⁹Ntsiku inatowera mangwana, cifupi na namasiku, enda mwakucimbiza pakhabisa iwe pidatoma nyatwa iyi, mbukhala pafupi na mwala wa Ezeli. ²⁰Ine ndinadzaponya miseu mitatu ku ntsenga yace, ninga kuti ndikuponya pa cinthu cakuponyera. ²¹Ndinadzatuma mwana mbalumbwana mbandimpanga kuti: ‘Ndoko, saka miseu.’ Ndingampanga kuti: ‘Ona, iyo iri kunkhundu kuno kwako—bwera nayo kuno,’ penepo bwera; ninga Baba wathu ali maso, iwe uli pa ntendere, nkhabe ngozwi. ²²Mbwenye ndingapanga mwana mbalumbwana kuti: ‘Ona, miseu iri kutsogolo kwako,’ ndoko—Baba wathu akutuma uende. ²³Thangwi ya pidalonga ife na iwe—kumbuka, Baba wathu ndi mboni pakati pa iwe na ine kwenda na kwenda.”

²⁴Na tenepo Dhavidhi abisala m'munda. Muyezi upsa pidakwana, mambo akhala pantsi toera adye. ²⁵Mambo akhala pa mpando wace wakale cifupi na mpanda, Yonatani pakuyang'anana na iye, Abhineri pakhundu pa Sauli—mbuto ya Dhavidhi yacabe. ²⁶Pa ntsiku ineyi Sauli nee alonga cinthu, mbanyerezera kuti: “Cinthu cacitika kuna Dhavidhi cakuti camusiya wakukhonda kucena—mwandimomwene iye nkhabe kucena.” ^b b v26 Kukhala wakukhonda kucena mwa mwambo akhali makhaliro akupita mwa kanango n'dzidzi—akubwera na pinthu pizinji pyakudziwika—akuti akhakhondesa munthu kutenga khundu m'maphwando akucena peno m'kulambira.

²⁷Pa ntsiku yakutowera, ntsiku yaciwiri ya mwezi, mbuto ya Dhavidhi yakhala pontho yacabe. Sauli abvundza mwana wace Yonatani: “Thangwi yanji mwana wa Djese nee abwera toera kudya, dzulo peno lero?”

²⁸Yonatani atawira tenepa: “Dhavidhi andiphemba mwamphinga toera ndintawirise aende ku Bhetelehemu. ²⁹Iye alonga kuti: ‘Ndisiye ndiende—banja yathu iri na ntsembe mu nzinda, pontho m'bale wanga andipanga ndiende kweneko. Ndingagumana ntsisi pamaso pako, ndisiye ndibuluke mbaenda kuona abale anga.’ Ndico thangwi iye nee abwera pa meza ya mambo.”

³⁰Sauli aipirwa kakamwe na Yonatani: “Iwe mwana wa nkazi wakupandukira na wakusowa ntima! Kodi ine nkhabe kudziwa kuti wasankhula khundu ya mwana wa Djese—toera manyadzo ako, na manyadzo a mai adakubala? ³¹Mu ntsiku zonsene zinakhala mwana wa Djese maso pa ntsi pano, iwe peno umambo wako nkhabe kukhala wakukhotcerwa. Tuma anthu akwate iye abwere nawo kuna ine; iye asafunika kufa.”

³²Yonatani abvundza baba wace: “Thangwi yanji iye asafunika kuphiwa? Iye acitanji?”

³³Sauli amponyera dipa yace toera amuphe, natenepa Yonatani adziwa kuti baba wace akhatonga kupha Dhavidhi. ³⁴Yonatani alamuka pa meza mwaukali ukulu, nee adya cinthu pa ntsiku yaciwiri ya mwezi, mbatsukwala thangwi ya Dhavidhi thangwi baba wace apasa manyadzo Dhavidhi.

³⁵Namacibese Yonatani abuluka kuenda ku munda toera agumane Dhavidhi, ali na mwana mbalumbwana mng'ono. ³⁶Iye apanga mwana wace: “Thamanga, saka miseu inaponya ine.” Mwana mbathamanga, Yonatani aponya museu kutsogolo kwace. ³⁷Mwana pidafika iye pa museu udaponya Yonatani, Yonatani ankhuwira naku nduli kwace: “Kodi museu nkhabe kutsogolo kwako?” ³⁸Yonatani ankhuwira mwana: “Cimbiza! Mwakucimbiza! Leka kuima!” Iye agumanya miseu mbabwera kuna mbuya wace. ³⁹Mwana nee adziwa cinthu pa pyonsene ipi; Yonatani na Dhavidhi okha ndiwo akhadziwa cikhabvekera ipi. ⁴⁰Na tenepo Yonatani apasa mwana pida pyakumenyera pyace mbampanga kuti: “Ndoko, bwerera napyo ku nzinda.”

⁴¹Mwana pidaenda iye, Dhavidhi alamuka kunkhundu kwa khundu yakumwera ya mwala, mbagwa pantsi na nkhope yace, mbagodama katatu. Iwo apswompswona mbalira pabodzi, Dhavidhi mbalira kakamwe kupita onsene. ⁴²Yonatani apanga Dhavidhi: “Ndoko mwa ntendere—ife tawiri tadumbira mu dzina ya Baba wathu, mbatilonga kuti: ‘Baba wathu ndi mboni pakati pa iwe na ine, pontho pakati pa dzindza yako na dzindza yanga, kwenda na kwenda.’” Dhavidhi alamuka mbaenda; Yonatani abwerera ku nzinda.
