Lumbo gwe bupelo gwa Dafite
1Ngono ngwenu, awa ndiwo matama e bupelo a Dafite,
ndebeleko ya Dafite nkololo wa Jesi,

nkwali we njimbo dzinozipa dze Iziraela.
2Meya ya Yahwe inolebeleka ili mundili,
matama abo amu nlomo wangu.
3Ndzimu we Iziraela walebeleka,

ha nthu ebusa bathu nge ndulamo,
ebusa nge kutja Ndzimu,
4unonga tjedza tje zhuba libhuda,
enga zhuba mangwanana kusina makole,
unopenya se vula yana inopenya mu bushwa.
5Apa nsha wangu auzojalo ku Ndzimu kene?
Ngobe wakathama tjidumano tjisingapele nami,

kugadzabgwe kusingowoshandugwa.
Ndiko kose kwandinoyemula,

tjoselele Ndzimu unowothama kuti kushingikale.
6Koga bathu basina Ndzimu banonga mihwa inoposegwa kutjena,
isingake ikabhakhwa nge maboko.
7Koga nthu unoibhata,
unoshingisa tshipi kene lupa gwe thumo,
inopisiwa nge moto ikalota.
Babhayani bakasima ba Dafite
(1 Zwiyitikalo 11:10-41)
8Awa ndiwo mazina e babhayani bakasima Dafite baakabe anabo: We kutanga wakabe ali Jehoshibhashebeti we Ntakemoni wakabe ali nlauli we batungamili batatu, wakagwa nge thumo lile kabulaya babhayani bali makumi ali zhanakadzi (800) nge tjibaka tjing'ompela.
9Wakabe entobeledza mu balume batatu bakasima wakabe ali Eleazari nkololo wa Dodo ali nkololo wa Ahohi. Wakabe ana Dafite pabakadadila Bafilisitiya bakabe bakakubunganila kugwa, ngono Baiziraela bakabgwilila shule. 10Iye kama katemelela Bafilisitiya kudzina tjiazha tjitje tjinyala, tjibuya tjinamatila bukano. Ngono Yahwe bakapa kukunda kukulu kwazo zhuba ilelo, babhayani bakashandukila kuna Eleazari, bewotapa koga zwibhayano mu bafi.
11Unontobeledza wakabe ali Shama, nkololo wa Agi we Nharari. Bafilisitiya bakabe bakubunganila ku Lehi, kwabe kuna nnda we ipimbo, ngono babhayani be Iziraela bakatizha Bafilisitiya. 12Koga Shama kama kapilimala ali pakati kwe nnda kutjigwila, katemelela Bafilisitiya, ngono Yahwe bakampa kukunda kukulu kwazo.
13Mu tjibaka tjekuvuna, babhayani bali batatu mu bakulu bali makumi matatu (30) bakayenda, bakanoswika kuna Dafite ku guwu le Adulamu, kwakabe goko le Bafilisitiya lakakotokelapo mu nkuku we Refaimu. 14Ipapo Dafite wakabe ali mu dizhilo, ngono babhayani be Bafilisitiya bali ku Bhetelehema. 15Ngono Dafite kalebeleka nge ishubu kati, “Ungati mmwe unganondipa vula ang'wa mu tshima le Bhetelehema lipa nkoba.” 16Ndizo babhayani batatu bakasima bakapalama goko le Bafilisitiya, bakanotjela vula mu tshima le Bhetelehema lakabe lili pa nkoba, bakaitola bakazha nayo kuna Dafite. Koga kasi ing'we akaitebulila pasi kupa Yahwe. 17Kalebeleka eti, “Yahwe, andingang'we vula iyeyi! Ndowobe ndinga ndinong'wa malopa e balume ibaba balonga butjilo gwabo mu mbatsha!” Ndizo kasiing'we.
Ezwi ndizo zwakathamwa nge babhayani batatu bakabe bana tjilopa. 18Ipapo Abishayi nnung'una wa Joabu nkololo wa Zeruya wakabe ali ntungamili we babhayani bali makumi matatu (30) wakagwa nge thumo lile kabulaya babhayani bali mazana matatu (300), kabe ne tjilumbi kupinda batatu. 19Apa aazobe ne tjilumbi kupinda butatu kene? Wakathang'wa nlauli we bali makumi matatu (30). Ngono kasibe mwe we batatu be kutanga.
20Bhenaya nkololo wa Jehoyada wakabe ali nlume una tjilopa edwa ku Kabuzele ali nthami we mishingo mikulu, wakabulaya Balume bakasima mu ngwa bali babili be Moabu. Kabuya kangina mu gomba kabulaya shumba mu zhuba lakabe lawa kapuku. 21Kakale kabulaya nlume mbuya we N'egipiti. N'egipiti wakabe akabhata thumo nge luboko, koga Bheneya kayenda kunli akabhata swimbo, kashwabula thumo mu luboko gwe N'egipiti, kambulaya nge thumo lile. 22Ezwi ndizo zwakathamwa ndi Bhenaya nkololo wa Jehoyada ekowana tjilumbi se balume batatu bana tjilopa. 23Bhenaya wakawana tjilumbi muna bali makumi matatu (30), koga kasitongolizana ne batatu be kutanga. Dafite kanthama nkulu mu balisi babe.
24Asahele nnung'una wa Joabu wakabe ali mmwe we bali makumi matatu (30) na Elihanani nkololo wa Dodo we Bhetelehema, 25na Shama we Nharode na Elika we Harode 26na Helezi we Npaliti na Ira nkololo wa Ikeshi edwa ku Tekowa, 27na Abiezera edwa ku Anatoti na Mebhunayi we Nhushahi, 28na Zalimoni we Nhohi na Maharayi edwa ku Netofa, 29na Helebu nkololo wa Bhaana edwa ku Netofa na Itai nkololo wa Ribhai edwa ku Gibeya we Bhenjamini, 30na Bhenaya edwa ku Pirathoni na Hidai edwa ku nkuku we Gaashi, 31na Abialiboni we N'arabhati na Azimaveti edwa ku Bhahurimu 32na Eliabha edwa ku Shaalibhoni nkololo wa Jasheni na Jonatani, 33na Shama we Nharari na Ahiamu nkololo wa Sharari we Nharari, 34na Elifeleti nkololo wa Ahasibai edwa ku Maaka, na Eliamu nkololo wa Ahithofele edwa ku Gilo, 35na Hezero edwa ku Karimeli, na Paarai we N'ariba, 36na Igali nkololo wa Nathani edwa ku Zobha na Bhani we N'gadi, 37na Zeleke we N'amoni na Naharayi edwa ku Bheeroti nsengi we zwibhayano zwa Joabu nkololo wa Zeruya 38na Ira we N'itheri na Garebu we N'itheri 39na Uriya we Nhiti: Babhayani bose bakasima bakabe bali makumi matatu ana kutendeka (37).
