31 Sonu Afilisiti achitanga nkhondu ndi Ayisirayeli.+ Ayisirayeli anguthaŵa pa masu pa Afilisiti ndipu ŵanthu anandi angubayika pa Phiri la Gilibowa.+
2 Afilisiti angutchimbiza Sauli ndi ŵana ŵaki ndipu ŵenga nawu pafupi ukongwa. Yiwu angubaya Yonatani,+ Abinadabu ndi Malaki-shuwa, ŵana anthulumi aku Sauli.+
3 Nkhondu yingumukuliya ukongwa Sauli, ndipu akuponya mivi mwakugwiriskiya ntchitu uta angumusaniya mwakuti angumupweteka ukongwa.+
4 Sonu Sauli wangukambiya munthu yo wamupingiyanga vidya kuti: “Solo lipanga laku ndipu undigwazi nalu, kuti ŵanthu ambula kudumulika yaŵa+ aleki kundigwaza kweniso kuti aleki kundichitiya nkhaza.”* Kweni munthu yo wamupingiyanga vidya wangukana chifukwa wenga ndi mantha ukongwa. Mwaviyo, Sauli wanguto lipanga laki ndipu wanguwiyapu.+
5 Munthu yo wamunyamuliyanga vidya wati wawona kuti Sauli wafwa,+ nayu so wanguwiya pa lipanga laki ndipu wangufwiya nayu limoza.
6 Mwaviyo, Sauli, ŵana ŵaki anthulumi atatu, munthu yo wamupingiyanga vidya kweniso ŵanthu ŵaki wosi angufwiya limoza pa zuŵa lenilo.+
7 Ayisirayeli wo ajanga mudambu* kweniso muchigaŵa cha Yorodani, ŵati awona kuti anthulumi a ku Isirayeli athaŵa ndipuso kuti Sauli ndi ŵana ŵaki afwa, angwamba kusiya matawuni ndi kuthaŵa.+ Pavuli paki Afilisiti anguza ndi kuja mumatawuni ngenanga.
8 Mawa laki, Afilisiti ŵati aza kuti aziŵazuwi vakuvwala ŵanthu wo angubayika, angusaniya kuti Sauli ndi ŵana ŵaki anthulumi atatu afwa pa Phiri la Gilibowa.+
9 Mwaviyo, yiwu angudumuwa mutu waku Sauli kweniso angumuzuwa vidya vaki vankhondu. Pavuli paki angutuma uthenga mucharu chosi cha Afilisiti kuti apharazgi uthenga wenuwu+ munyumba* za angoza ŵawu+ kweniso pakati pa ŵanthu.
10 Pakumaliya yiwu anguŵika vidya vaki vankhondu munyumba za vikozgu va Ashitoreti kweniso angukhoma thupi laki kumpanda wa Beti-shani.+
11 Ŵanthu wo ajanga ku Yabeshi-giliyadi+ ŵati avwa vo Afilisiti anguchitiya Sauli,
12 asilikali wosi wo ŵenga vinkhara angusoka ndipu angwenda usiku wosi kuchito thupi laku Sauli kweniso mathupi nga ŵana ŵaki ngo angungakhoma kumpanda wa ku Beti-shani. Yiwu anguwere ku Yabeshi ndipu angungawotcha kweniko.
13 Sonu yiwu anguto viwanga vawu+ ndi kuviŵika mumuwunda musina mwa chimiti cha tamarisiki* ku Yabeshi.+ Pavuli paki angufunga kwa mazuŵa 7.
