6 Mpindieu pavua Ebeyatâ+ muana wa Ahimeleke munyemene kudi Davidi ku Keila, uvua ne efoda. 7 Bakambila Shaula ne: “Davidi mmulue mu Keila.” Ke Shaula kuamba ne: “Nzambi mmumufile mu bianza bianyi,*+ bualu mmudibueje mu buteyi pa kubuela mu tshimenga tshidi ne biibi bikolesha bikole.” 8 Nunku Shaula wakabikidisha bantu bonso ku mvita bua kupueka ku Keila ne kutshintshimika Davidi ne bantu bende. 9 Pakumvua Davidi ne: Shaula uvua umuelela tshifufu, wakambila muakuidi Ebeyatâ ne: “Luaku ne efoda muaba eu.”+ 10 Pashishe Davidi wakamba ne: “Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele, muena mudimu webe mmumvue bulelela ne: Shaula mmusue kulua ku Keila bua kubutula tshimenga bua bualu buanyi.+ 11 Balombodi* ba mu Keila nebamfile mu tshianza tshiende anyi?

13 Diakamue Davidi wakajuka ne bantu bende, bantu batue ku 600,+ kumbukabu ku Keila benda baya muaba wonso uvuabu mua kuya. Pakambilabu Shaula ne: Davidi mmunyeme ku Keila, kakamulonda to. 14 Davidi wakashala mu tshipela mu miaba ivua mikole bua kufika, mu buloba bua mikuna bua mu tshipela tshia Zifa.+ Shaula wakamukeba kayi wikisha,+ kadi Yehowa kavua mumufile mu tshianza tshiende to. 15 Pavua Davidi mu tshipela tshia Zifa ku Holesha,* Davidi uvua mumanye ne:* Shaula uvua mulue bua kukeba muoyo* wende.
16 Mpindieu Yonatana muana wa Shaula uvua muye kudi Davidi ku Holesha, yeye kumuambuluisha bua kupeta bukole* mu Yehowa.+ 17 Wakamuambila ne: “Kutshinyi to, bualu tatuanyi Shaula kakukupeta to; newikale mukalenge wa Isalele,+ ne meme nengikale mukulondele; tatuanyi Shaula mmumanye pende bualu ebu.”+ 18 Nunku bubidi buabu bakadia tshipungidi+ kumpala kua Yehowa; Davidi wakashala ku Holesha, ne Yonatana wakapingana kuende.
19 Pashishe bantu ba mu Zifa bakabanda kudi Shaula ku Gibea,+ kuambabu ne: “Davidi ki mmusokome pabuipi netu+ ku Holesha+ mu miaba idi mikole bua kufika, pa mukuna mukese wa Hakila,+ udi ku sud kua* Yeshimone* anyi?+ 20 Dîba dionso diudi* umvua bua kupueka kutudi, luaku mukalenge, ne netumufile mu tshianza tshia mukalenge.”+ 21 Ke Shaula kuamba ne: “Yehowa anubeneshe, bualu nudi bangumvuile luse. 22 Ndayiku, nutete kumanya menemene muaba udiye ne kumanya muntu uvua mumumone kuntu aku, bualu mbangambile ne: yeye udi ne budimu bua bungi be! 23 Nukebe bua kumanya bimpe menemene miaba idiye usokomena ne nupingane kundi ne bijadiki. Dîba adi nenye nenu, ne yeye muikale mu buloba abu, nemmukebe munkatshi mua binunu* bionso bia Yuda.”
24 Nunku bakumbuka, kudianjidilabu Shaula ku Zifa,+ pavua Davidi ne bantu bende mu tshipela tshia Maona,+ mu Alabâ+ ku sud kua Yeshimone. 25 Pashishe Shaula wakalua ne bantu bende bua kumukeba.+ Pakambilabu Davidi bualu ebu, wakapueka diakamue ku mukuna wa dibue,+ yeye kushala mu tshipela tshia Maona. Pakumvua Shaula nanku, wakalonda Davidi mu tshipela tshia Maona. 26 Pavua Shaula mufike ku luseke lumue lua mukuna, Davidi ne bantu bende bavua ku luseke lukuabu lua mukuna. Davidi uvua wenza lukasa lukasa bua kunyema+ Shaula, kadi Shaula ne bantu bende bavua benda basemena pabuipi menemene ne Davidi ne bantu bende bua kubakuata.+ 27 Kadi muntu mukuabu wakalua kudi Shaula ne mukenji wamba ne: “Luaku lukasa lukasa, bualu bena Peleshete mbalue kuluisha buloba!” 28 Ke Shaula kulekelaye kulonda Davidi,+ yeye kuya bua kuluangana ne bena Peleshete. Ke bualu kayi bakinyika muaba au ne: Sela-hamalekota.*
29 Pashishe Davidi wakumbuka kuntu aku, kubandaye bua kusombela ku Ene-gedi+ mu miaba ivua mikole bua kufika.
