Nkilema kinyi kiandi mukite, na mmuanda kinyi wi bubi wandi mukitshine nshobe wa kuete kunkimba bua kungipaa?” 2 Paapa Yonatane nkumulungula’shi: “Ta mbilombene kukitshika nya! T’ofu nya. Tala! Nshami ta mmulombene kukita muanda su ngumune biawikala ukata sunga upeela kuashi mundungule. Na nshami mmulombene kunfia muanda wi bino naminyi? Ta mbilombene kukitshika nya.” 3 Kadi Davide nkuitshipa dingi kui Yonatane’shi: “Nshobe auku binyibinyi’shi we munfule, e kuamba’shi: ‘Tanuiwukishanga Yonatane uno muanda bisumanga enyongola.’ Kadi bu bikale binyibinyi Yehowa na muwa, na biodi’be binyibinyi na muwa, kui nka penda etabula dimune pankatshi pande na lufu!”

4 Akupu Yonatane nkulungula Davide’shi: “Kioso kiondungula bua kukita, nakukitshina kianka.” 5 Davide nkulungula Yonatane’shi: “Malooba mueshi aubaluka, na abikatungu’shi nshale na nfumu bua kudia, abitungu ondekie nyende nkafuame mu kisuku mpa na ku kiolua ki’efuku dia kasatu. 6 Su nshobe batundula’shi ntshi panka, omulungule’shi: ‘Davide ekele muntekie matalua bua kuenda bukidibukidi mu kibundi kiabo mu Beteleme, muanda kifuko kiabo kioso kishima akikala kuakua bua kutuusha mulambu wa ku kipua.’ 7 Su nshobe aluula’shi: ‘Mmuanda wibuwa,’ biabia abilesha’shi mufubi oobe ekala mu butaale. Kadi su bakuata nsungu, paapa oshinkamishe’shi e na kitshibilo kia kunkitshina bibubi. 8 Biabia, ndeshe ami mufubi oobe kifulo kia lulamato, muanda we mukite kilombeno na mufubi oobe kumpala kua Yehowa. Su ne mukite muanda wibubi, ngipee obe nabene, buakinyi we kuntuala kui nshobe?”

9 Paapa Yonatane nkumualuula’shi: “Ntshi mulombene kukukitshina muanda wi biabia, su nauka’shi nshami e na kitshibilo kia kukukitshina muanda wi bubi, buakinyi ne kupela kukulungula?” 10 Paapa Davide nkuipusha Yonatane’shi: “Nnanyi akangukisha su nshobe bakualuula bibubi?” 11 Yonatane balunguile Davide’shi: “Fika tuende mu kisuku.” Paapa bubidi buabo nkuenda mu kisuku. 12 Na Yonatane nkulungula Davide’shi: “Yehowa Efile Mukulu a Isalele ekale kamonyi, malooba sunga aa malooba pa nsaa i bino, natuele nshami munda bua kuuka binangu biaye su e na binangu bi buwa pa bikutale, paapa nakatumu muntu bua’shi akuukishe. 13 Kadi su nshami e na binangu bia kukukitshina muanda wibubi, Yehowa annyokie ngofu su ntshi mukulungule bianka na nkulekiela bua’shi wende mu butaale. Yehowa ekale noobe nka bu bibaadi na nshami. 14 Obe namu tokandesha kifulo kia lulamato kia Yehowa panki na muwa sunga nafua su? 15 Tokumanga kukatusha kifulo kiobe kia lulamato kui ba mu nshibo muande, sunga apakabutula Yehowa beshikuanyi boso ba Davide pa nsenga.” 16 Biabia Yonatane nkukita kilombeno na ba mu nshibo ya Davide, amba’shi: “Yehowa akatshibila beshikuanyi ba Davide kiimu.” 17 Paapa Yonatane nkuelesha dingi Davide mutshipo pabitale kifulo kiaye kuadi, muanda Yonatane baadi mufule Davide nka bu bibaadi muifule aye nabene.

18 Akupu, Yonatane nkulungula Davide’shi: “Malooba mueshi aubaluka, na abakamono’shi tue panka muanda pa mbalo yobe t’apekala muntu. 19 Muifuku dia kasatu abakanyisha’nyi kutundula’shi tue panka, biabia abitungu’shi wende ku mbalo iboodi mufuame diadia dingi efuku, na oshale kuakua pepi n’ebue. 20 Biabia, nakaasa mikietue isatu ku lupese lu’ebue nka bu’mi kuete kuasa kintu. 21 Nakatumu mufubi ande mmulungule’shi: ‘Enda okaate mikietue.’ Su namulungula’shi: ‘Tala! Mikietue i nka mu lupese lobe muamua eyate,’ paapa we mulombene kualuka, muanda bu bikale binyibinyi Yehowa na muwa, abilesha’shi takui muanda su ngumune odia kutshina, takui masaku. 22 Kadi su nalungula nsongualume’shi: ‘Tala! Mikietue ikii kumpala kobe, paapa abitungu okatukie muanda Yehowa bakumiina’shi wende. 23 Pabitale kipuano kia bu kuuku ki pankatshi p’obe nami, Yehowa ekale pankatshi petu bua loso.”

24 Biabia Davide nkufuama mu kisuku, pabaadi mueshi ubalukie, nfumu Saule bashalele ku mesa bua kudia. 25 Nfumu baadi mushale pa mbalo yaye ya mafuku oso dia ku kimano, Yonatane baadi muitalene naye, na Abnere baadi mushale ku lupese lua Saule, kadi mbalo ya Davide ibaadi bisumanga. 26 Diadia efuku Saule tabakuile muanda, muanda baadi eakuila’shi: ‘Kui kuikala muanda kampanda ukitshikie umuikashe butete. Eyendo, e kuikala butete.’ 27 Muifuku dia kabidi kunyima kua mueshi kubaluka, mbalo ya Davide ibaadi nka bisumanga, biabia Saule nkuipusha muana aaye Yonatane’shi: ‘Buakinyi muana a Yesee ta mmufikie mu kudia biabikala malooba sunga lelo?” 28 Yonatane nkualuula Saule’shi: “Davide ekele muntekie matalua bua kuenda ku Beteleme. 29 Ambile’shi: ‘Ndekiele namu nyende, muanda kifuko kietu akikatuusha mulambu mu kibundi, dingi mukuetu mmungitanyishe, biabia su we munfule, ndekiele namu nyende kushi bantu kuuka nkemonene na bakuetu.’ Nyi buakinyi ta mufikie ku mesa a nfumu.” 30 Paapa Saule nkukuatshila Yonatane nsungu i bukopo nkumulungula’shi: “Muana a mukashi ntomboshi’be, omono’shi ntanguku’shi we musangule bua kuikala ku lupese lua muana a Yesee? Mmuanda wi buufu bukata kodi na kui nyinobe. 31 Mafuku oso aekala muana a Yesee na muwa pa nsenga, obe tokakunkusha bu nfumu na bufumu bobe tabuikala bunyingishibue, biabia tuma muntu binobino bua’shi akamungatshile muanda abitungu afue.”

32 Anka, Yonatane balunguile nshaye Saule’shi: “Buakinyi abitungu kumuipaa? Mmuanda kinyi wadi musoole?” 33 Paapa Saule nkuasa Yonatane mulumbu bua’shi amuipee. Biabia Yonatane nkuuka’shi nshaye baadi na kitshibilo kia kuipaa Davide. 34 Yonatane nkuibua musango umune ku mesa na nsungu i bukopo, tabadiile kintu su nkimune diadia efuku dia kabidi kunyima kua mueshi kubaluka, muanda baadi na kinyongua bua Davide, na nshaye baadi mumukuatshishe buufu.

35 Ku namashika, Yonatane bayile mu kisuku nka bu bibaabadi bepushene na Davide, na mufubi aaye mukinga baadi naye. 36 Yonatane nkulungula mufubi aaye’shi: “Suuka namu lubilo ongatshile mikietue yankiebe kuasa.” Mufubi basuukile lubilo, na Yonatane nkuasa mukietue kumpala kuaye. 37 Pabafikile mufubi pa mbalo ibaadi Yonatane muase mukietue, Yonatane bamuelele musaase amulungula’shi: “Mukietue tawi kumpala kobe su?” 38 Yonatane belele’nyi mufubi aaye musaase nkumulungula’shi: “Nyisha! Enda bukidi! Tonyengakananga!” Paapa mufubi a Yonatane basanguile mikietue, aye nkualuka kui nfumuaye. 39 Mufubi tabaukanga muanda su ngumune pabitale kibaadi akikitshika, nka penda Yonatane na Davide nyi babaadi abauku kiabilesha. 40 Akupu Yonatane bapeele mufubi aaye bina ngoshi biaye amulungula’shi: “Enda nabio paasha.”

41 Pabaadi mufubi a Yonatane mualukiile, Davide batuukile mu mbalo ibaadi paapa pepi, dia kuushi. Akupu aye nkukupila mpala paashi na nkuinama misango isatu, abo nkuianyena biipa na boso nkudila, kadi Davide nyi badidile bikile. 42 Yonatane nkulungula Davide’shi: “Enda mu butaale, muanda atue boso bubidi tui betshipe muishina dia Yehowa tuamba’shi: ‘Yehowa ekale pankatshi p’obe n’ami, na pankatshi pa bekulu bobe na bekulu bande bua loso.”

Paapa Davide bakatukile aye nkuenda, Yonatane namu balukiile paasha.
