Bantu tababaadi abauku’shi Yonatane baadi muende. 4 Pankatshi pa mbalo ibaadi Yonatane akiebe kusambukila bua kuenda kui basalayi ba bena Filistine, kubaadi lubuebue lui nsongo bu eyino lupese lumune, na ku lungi lupese kubaadi lungi lubuebue lui nsongo bu eyino. Eshina dia lumune dibaadi Bosese na eshina dia lungi dibaadi Sene. 5 Lubuebue lumune lubaadi bu musungo lupese lua kunundu luitalene na Mikemashe na lungi namu lubaadi lupese lua kuushi luitalene na Geba.
6 Paapa Yonatane balunguile muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi’shi: “Fika tusambukie tuende kui bano basalayi bashi basadiibue, pangi Yehowa e kuitukuasha, muanda takui kintu kilombene kukutshishua Yehowa bua kupaasha, biabikala na bantu bebungi, sunga na bantu bapeela.” 7 Paapa muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi biaye bamualuluile’shi: “Kita kioso akikutumu eshimba diobe bua kukita, enda koso k’okumiina, ami nakulondo koso kuende.” 8 Paapa Yonatane bambile’shi: “Atusambuka kui abaa bantu na atuilesha kuabadi. 9 Su betulungula’shi: ‘Imanayi nka paapa mpa na p’atufiki kuanudi, atukemana nka paapa patudi, t’atukaamina kuabadi nya. 10 Kadi su betulungula’shi: ‘Kaaminayi kuno kuatudi!’ Paapa atukakaamina, muanda Yehowa akebatuulu mu maasa eetu. Kino nyi akikala bu kitunduilo kietu.”
11 Paapa abo boso babidi nkuilesha kui basalayi ba bena Filistine. Bena Filistine nkuamba’shi: “Talayi! Bena Ebelu babatuuku mu mena muabekalanga bafuame.” 12 Biabia basalayi babalunguile Yonatane na muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi’shi: “Kaaminayi kuno kuatudi, atuinupa dilongiesha!” Musango umune Yonatane nkulungula muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi’shi: “Ndonde, muanda Yehowa ebatuulu mu maasa mua Isalele.” 13 Paapa Yonatane babangile kukaamina na maboko na mikoolo, muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi baadi kunyima kuaye; bena Filistine nkubanga kupona kumpala kua Yonatane, na muntu baadi asemuna bina ngoshi biaye baadi ebayipaa kunyima kuaye. 14 Mu ngoshi ya kumpala ibaadi Yonatane na muntu baadi amusemuina bina ngoshi balue, abaadi bayipee bantu bafikie ku 20 mu mbalo ipeela.*
15 Paapa moo nkupalakana mu kishalelo, mpa na kui kisaka kia basalayi babaadi kumpala kua kishalelo, sunga bisaka bia basalayi bibaabadi abatumu bua kulua na bena Isalele bibapushishe moo wibukopo. Nsenga ibabangile kutshinka, na moo w’Efile Mukulu ubebakuatshile. 16 Balami ba Saule babaadi ku Gibeya a Benyamine babamuene’shi, kafutakanyi kabaadi akapalakana mu kishalelo kioso kia bena Filistine.
17 Saule nkulungula basalayi boso babaadi nabo’shi: “Ebadikisheneyi bua kuuka bashi panka.” Pabababadikile, babamuene’shi Yonatane na muntu amusemuinaa bina ngoshi tabe panka. 18 Saule nkulungula Akiya’shi: “Eseesele na mushete w’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi pepi!” (Muanda bena Isalele babaadi na mushete w’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi aa mafuku.) 19 Pabaadi Saule esamba na tshite muakuidi, kafutakanyi kabaadi mu kishalelo kia bena Filistine kabaadi akanyisha kufuima. Paapa Saule balunguile tshite muakuidi’shi: “Leka biabia biokitshi.” 20 Saule na basalayi baye boso babebungile benda mu kulua ngoshi, pabaabafikile kuakua, babapetele bena Filistine bakuete kuiyipayishena na mpete ya ngoshi, na kafutakanyi kabaadi bukopo. 21 Dingi, bena Ebelu batabekalanga ku lupese lua bena Filistine na babafikile nabo mu kishalelo, babalukiile ku lupese lua bena Isalele babaadi ku bukunkushi bua Saule na Yonatane. 22 Bantu boso ba bena Isalele babaadi bafuame mu nsenga ya ku miengie ya Efraime babapushishe’shi bena Filistine bakuete kusuuka, biabia abo namu nkubanga kuibalonda bua kulua nabo. 23 Biabia Yehowa bapaashile Isalele mu diadia efuku, ngoshi ibayile yakafika mpa na ku Bete-awene.
24 Anka, bana balume ba mu Isalele babaadi bakookie muanda Saule baadi muibeleshe mutshipo wa’shi: “Mulua wikale kui muntu adi kantu sunga nkapeela kumpala kua’shi kiolua kikumbane, mpa nka na pankeobuela kui beshikuanyi bande. Biabia muntu su ngumune tabadiile kantu.
25 Paapa bantu boso babatuelele mu mutamba, mu nsenga mubaadi buuki. 26 Pabatuelele bantu mu mutamba, babasangene buuki abunoko, anka takui muntu su ngumune baadi muibulambe, muanda babaadi abatshinyi mutshipo. 27 Kadi Yonatane tabapushishe pabaadi nshaye mukamikie bantu mutshipo, biabia aye nkoola mukombo ubaadi muiyasa diaye, nkuiusabika ku kisaa kia buuki. Pabebulambile, baadi mupetuule bukome.* 28 Umune a ku basalayi bamulunguile’shi: “Nshobe mmutshipishe bantu mutshipo wibukopo amba’shi: ‘Mulua wikale kui muntu adi kintu lelo!’ Nyi buakinyi bantu mbakookie.” 29 Yonatane nkualuula’shi: “Nshami bafuishila eumbo malua akata. Nalamba penda tu buuki tupeela, tala binampetuula bukome. 30 Banda kunangushena su lelo uno basalayi bekeele badie bintu bibabapete kui beshikuanyi babo! Babadia kuipaa bena Filistine bakile bungi.”
31 Diadia efuku babatungunukile na kuipaa bena Filistine kubanga ku Mikemashe mpa na ku Ayalone, basalayi babakookiele ngofu. 32 Biabia bantu bababangile kuluila na luabi loso bintu bipaulue, abo nkuata mikooko, ngombe na bana ba ngombe, abo nkuibipayila mu nsenga na nkudia muita na mase. 33 Abo nkukebilungula Saule’shi: “Pusha! Bantu babakitshina Yehowa muluisho pa kudia muita na mase.” Aye nkualuula’shi: “Nubakitshi mianda na kukutua lulamato. Mbunguluileyi ebue dikata pano binobino.” 34 Akupu Saule nkuibalungula’shi: “Palakanayi kui bantu nuibalungule bino: ‘Abitungu oso a kuanudi afikie na ngombe na mukooko waye ebiipayile pano, akupu mmulombene kuibidia, tanukitshinanga dingi Yehowa muluisho pa kudia muita na mase.’” Biabia oso a kuabadi bafikile na ngombe buabua bufuku na aye nkumuipayila paapa p’ebue dikata. 35 Paapa Saule nkuibakila Yehowa kilambuilo. Kino kibaadi kilambuilo kia kumpala kibaadi muibakile Yehowa.
36 Kunyima Saule bambile’shi: “Tualaleyi tulonde bena Filistine buno bufuku na tuibapaule bintu mpa na p’abutooko. T’atulekie muntu su ngumune na muwa.” Babamualuluile’shi: “Kita kioso kiomono’shi kibuwa ku meso kobe.” Kadi tshite muakuidi bambile’shi: “Tuipushe Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi pano.” 37 Biabia Saule bayipuishe Efile Mukulu’shi: “Ndonde bena Filistine su? Okebatuulu mu maasa mua bena Isalele?” Kadi Efile Mukulu ta mmumualuule mu diadia efuku. 38 Paapa Saule nkuitanyina bakata ba basalayi, nkuibalungula’shi: “Kimbayi bua kuuka’shi mmuluisho kinyi ubakitshibua lelo uno. 39 Ku muanda bu bikale Yehowa binyibinyi na muwa, aye bapaasha Isalele, sunga biatuuka’shi muana ande Yonatane nyi bakitshi muluisho, abitungu afue.” Anka muntu su ngumune ta mmumualuule. 40 Paapa aye nkulungula bena Isalele boso’shi: “Anue ikalayi ku lupese lumune, ami na muana ande Yonatane tuikale ku luetu lupese.” Paapa muilo nkualuula Saule’shi: “Kita kioso kiomono’shi kibuwa ku meso kobe.”
41 Biabia Saule balunguile Yehowa’shi: “Ô Efile Mukulu a Isalele! Aluula na Tumime.” Paapa Tumime basanguile Yonatane na Saule, na aye nkulekiela bangi bantu. 42 Paapa Saule nkuamba’shi: “Etueleleyi bubale na muana ande Yonatane.” Abo nkusangula Yonatane. 43 Biabia Saule balunguile Yonatane’shi: “Ndungule, a nkinyi kiokitanga?” Yonatane bamulunguile’shi: “Ndambanga tu ndambo tua buuki ku nsongo ya mukombo wikele muiyasa diande. Nnami uno! Nakumiina kufua!”
44 Paapa Saule nkuamba’shi: “Efile Mukulu annyokie bi bukopo su tue mufue Yonatane.” 45 Anka bantu nkulungula Saule’shi: “Yonatane afue—aye batshimuna ino ngoshi ikata bua bena Isalele? Biabia ta mbilombene kukitshika! Bu bikale binyibinyi Yehowa na muwa, sunga ndunyene lumune lua ku mutue waye t’alupono mu nsenga, muanda nku bukuashi bu’Efile Mukulu kubakitshi biabia lelo.” Paapa bantu nkupaasha Yonatane, na ta mmufue nya.
46 Biabia Saule balekiele kuibingena na bena Filistine, na bena Filistine nkualukiila mu nsenga yabo.
47 Saule nkunyingisha bufumu buaye mu Isalele na nkulua na beshikuanyi baye boso babaadi mu mpese yoso, bena Moabe, bena Amone, bena Edome, ba nfumu ba Soba na bena Filistine; na koso kubaadi ende baadi ebatshimuna. 48 Baadi mulue na kishima, aye nkutshimuna bena Amaleke, na nkupaasha Isalele ku maasa kua bantu babaadi abamupaula.
49 Bana balume ba Saule babaadi Yonatane, Ishuwi, na Malaki-shuwa. Baadi’nyi na bana bakashi babidi; mukulu baadi Merabe, na mukinga baadi Mikale. 50 Mukashi a Saule babaadi abamuitanyina bu Akinoame, muana mukashi a Akimase. Nfumu a kiluilo kiaye kia ngoshi babaadi abamuitanyina bu Abnere muana a Nere, mukuabo na nshaye na Saule. 51 Kishe nyi baadi nshaye na Saule, na Nere nshaye na Abnere baadi muana a Abiele.
52 Mu mafuku oso a Saule kubaadi ngoshi i bukopo na bena Filistine. Pabaadi Saule amono muana mulume oso mukankamane na munyingie eshimba, baadi amutuesha mu busalayi.
