2 Choncho Sauli ananyamuka pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake 3,000 napita ku chipululu cha Zifi kukafunafuna Davide ku chipululuko. 3 Sauli anamanga msasa wake mʼmbali mwa njira yopita ku phiri la Hakila moyangʼanana ndi Yesimoni. Koma Davide anali mʼchipululumo. Davide ataona kuti Sauli amamulondola mpaka kumeneko, 4 iye anatumiza anthu okazonda ndipo anapeza kuti Sauli wafikadi ndithu.
5 Tsono Davide ananyamuka napita kumalo kumene Sauli anamanga misasa. Iye anaona pamene Sauli ndi Abineri mwana wa Neri mkulu wa ankhondo anagona. Sauli anagona mʼkati mwa tenti ndipo asilikali anagona momuzungulira.
6 Ndipo Davide anafunsa Ahimeleki Mhiti ndi Abisai mwana wa Zeruya, mʼbale wa Yowabu kuti, “Ndani adzapita nane ku msasa kwa Sauli?”

8 Abisai anawuza Davide kuti, “Lero Mulungu wapereka mdani wanu mʼmanja mwanu. Tsopano ndiloleni ndimukhomere pansi ndi mkondo wangawu kamodzinʼkamodzi. Sindimulasa kawiri.”
9 Koma Davide anamuyankha Abisai kuti, “Usamuphe! Ndani adzapha wodzozedwa wa Yehova ndi kupezeka wosalakwa? 10 Davide anati, Pali Yehova wamoyo, Yehova mwini ndiye adzamukanthe, mwina tsiku lake lomwalira lidzafika, kapena adzapita ku nkhondo nakaphedwa komweko. 11 Koma Yehova andiletse kuti ndisapweteke wodzozedwa wa Yehova. Tsopano tingotenga mkondo umene uli ku mutu kwakewo ndi botolo la madzilo ndipo tizipita.”

13 Pambuyo pake Davide anadutsa nakakwerera mbali ina ya phiri, ndi kuyimirira pamwamba pa phiri patali. Pakati pawo panali mpata waukulu. 14 Davide anayitana gulu lankhondo ndi Abineri mwana wa Neri nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi sundiyankha ine Abineri?”
Abineri anayankha kuti, “Ndiwe yani amene ukuyitana mfumu?”
15 Davide anamufunsa Abineri kuti, “Kodi sindiwe mwamuna? Ndipo wofanana nawe ndani mu Israeli? Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunateteze mbuye wako mfumu? Munthu wina anabwera kumeneko. 16 Chimene wachita iwe si chabwino. Pali Yehova wamoyo iwe ndi asilikali ako muyenera kufa chifukwa simunateteze mbuye wanu, wodzozedwa wa Yehova. Tayangʼanayangʼana. Uli kuti mkondo wa mfumu ndi botolo lamadzi zimene zinali kumutu kwa mfumu?”
17 Sauli anazindikira mawu a Davide ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi amenewa ndi mawu ako Davide mwana wanga?”

Kodi ine ndachita chiyani ndipo ndapezeka ndi cholakwa chotani? 19 Tsopano mbuye wanga mfumu tamverani mawu a mtumiki wanu. Ngati ndi Yehova wautsa mtima wanu kuti mundiwukire, ndiye alandire chipepeso. Koma ngati ndi anthu amene achita zimene, ndiye Yehova awatemberere popeza andipirikitsa lero kundichotsa mʼdziko la Yehova, namati, ‘Pita kapembedze milungu ina.’ 20 Tsopano musalole kuti magazi anga akhetsedwe kutali ndi Yehova pakuti mfumu ya Israeli yatuluka kudzafunafuna ine nsabwe, monga mmene munthu asakira nkhwali ku mapiri.”
21 Ndipo Sauli anati, “Ine ndachimwa. Bwerera mwana wanga Davide. Sindidzakuchitanso choyipa popeza lero wauwona moyo wanga ngati wamtengowapatali. Taona, ndachita zauchitsiru ndipo ndachimwa kwambiri.”
22 Davide anayankha kuti, “Nawu mkondo wanu, mfumu. Tumani mmodzi wa anyamata anu abwere adzatenge. 23 Yehova amadalitsa munthu aliyense wolungama ndi wokhulupirika. Yehova anakuperekani lero mʼmanja mwanga, koma ine sindinakhudze wodzozedwa wa Yehova. 24 Monga momwe ine lero ndachitira kuwuyesa moyo wanu ngati wamtengowapatali, momwemonso Yehova awuyese moyo wanga wamtengowapatali ndipo andipulumutse mʼmavuto anga onse.”
25 Ndipo Sauli anawuza Davide kuti, “Yehova akudalitse iwe Davide mwana wanga. Udzachita zinthu zazikulu ndipo udzapambana.”
Choncho Davide anayenda njira yake ndipo Sauli anabwerera kwawo.
