1Umusi umwe Yonatani mwene Sawuli abwira umuhungu yamutwaza ibigwanisho ati: “Ingo, tuje ku kirindiro c’Abafilisitiya hariya hakurya.” Ariko ntiyabibwira se wiwe.2Sawuli yari ku rubibe rw’i Gibeya yicaye musi y’igiti c’amakomamanga kiri i Miguroni. Yari kumwe n’abasoda amajana atandatu,3muri bo harimwo Ahiya, yari yambaye Efodi. Ahiya yari mwene Ahitubu yavukana na Ikabodi mwene Finehasi, Finehasi mwene Eli, umuherezi w’Uhoraho w’i Shilo. Mu basoda, nta n’umwe yigeze amenya ko Yonatani yagiye.4Mu kuja kuri ico kirindiro c’Abafilisitiya, Yonatani yari yaciye mu nzira iri hagati y’ibitandara bibiri, kimwe citwa Bozezi, ikindi Senehi.5Kimwe cari mu buraruko werekeye i Mikimashi, ikindi mu bumanuko werekeye i Gibeya.6Yonatani abwira wa musore amutwaza ibigwanisho ati: “Ingo tujabuke hakurya kuri kirya kirindiro ca zirya ntakebwa. Kumbure Uhoraho yogira ico adukoreye. Nta cobuza Uhoraho gukiza abantu, akoresheje benshi canke akoresheje bake.”7Uwo amutwaza ibigwanisho aramubwira ati: “Kora ico wumva kibereye, nanje ndi kumwe nawe muri vyose.”8Yonatani aravuga ati: “Ingo rero tujabuke dutumbereye barya bagabo kandi tugende batubona.9Nibatubwira bati: ‘Rindira tubasange aho mugeze,’ duca tuguma aho tugeze, ntitubasangayo.10Ariko nibatubwira bati: ‘Nimuduge mudusange ino,’ duca tuduga, kuko kizoba ari ikimenyetso ko Uhoraho abagabuye mu maboko yacu.”11Nuko bompi bagenda abari ku kirindiro c’Abafilisitiya bababona. Abafilisitiya baravuga bati: “Ehe Abaheburayo bariko baranyeguruka bava mu myobo bari binyegejemwo.”12Ba bantu bari kuri ico kirindiro barasemerera babwira Yonatani n’uwari amutwaje ibigwanisho bati: “Nimuduge hano tubereke!”
Nuko Yonatani abwira umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho ati: “Nkurikira tuduge; Uhoraho abagabuye mu maboko y’Abisirayeli.”13Yonatani aduga aharamba n’amaboko n’amaguru, umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho amukurikiye. Yonatani agenda atera Abafilisitiya bagwa imbere yiwe, umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho na we akagenda arabahohosha.14Muri ico gitero ca mbere Yonatani n’uwari amutwaje ibigwanisho bica abagabo mirongo ibiri, imivyimba yabo yandagara ahantu hangana n’ahorimwa n’inka zibiri ku musi.
Sawuli aravuga ati: “Mwahemutse! Nimunyarukane ibuye rinini hano ubu nyene.”34Nuko aravuga ati: “Nimugende murondere abantu mubabwire umuntu wese azane hano inka yiwe canke intama yiwe, babibagire kandi babirire hano. Nimureke gucumura k’Uhoraho mu kurya inyama zikirimwo amaraso.”
Nuko umuntu wese azana ishuri yiwe muri iryo joro ayibagira ngaho.35Maze Sawuli yubakira Uhoraho igicaniro; kandi bwari ubwa mbere akora atyo.36Sawuli aravuga ati: “Nimuze tumanuke dukurikire Abafilisitiya mw’ijoro tubanyage ivyabo gushika mu mutwenzi, kandi ntidusigaze n’umwe ari muzima.”
Na bo barishura bati: “Nukore ivyo ubona ko ari vyiza.”
Ariko umuherezi aravuga ati: “Reka dusigurize Imana ngaha nyene.”37Nuko Sawuli abaza Uhoraho ati: “Mbega manuke nkurikire Abafilisitiya? Urabagabura mu maboko y’Abisirayeli?” Ariko Imana ntiyamwishura kuri uwo musi.38Nuko Sawuli aravuga ati: “Nimuze hano mwebwe mwese murongoye abasoda, kugira ngo tugire ubupfindo tumenye icaha cakozwe uwu musi.39Kandi ndahiye uguhoraho kw’Uhoraho atabara Abisirayeli, naho yoba ari umwana wanje Yonatani, ategerezwa gupfa.” Ariko nta n’umwe mu bantu yagize ico avuga.40Nuko Sawuli abwira Abisirayeli bose ati: “Nimuhagarare harya; nanje n’umuhungu wanje Yonatani duhagarare hano.”
Abantu barishura bati: “Nukore ikiguhimbaye cose.”41Nuko Sawuli asenga Uhoraho, Imana y’Abisirayeli ati: “Ni igiki catumye utanyishura jewe umusavyi wawe uno musi? Nimba vyavuye ku caha nakoze canke umuhungu wanje Yonatani yakoze, ndakwinginze wishure na Urimu, ariko nimba vyavuye ku caha c’abasoda ba Isirayeli, ndakwinginze wishure na Tumimu.” Maze Yonatani na Sawuli baba ari bo bafatwa n’ubupfindo, abasoda bo barera.42Sawuli aravuga ati: “Mugire ubupfindo hagati yanje na Yonatani umuhungu wanje.” Maze Yonatani aba ari we afatwa.43Maze Sawuli abwira Yonatani ati: “Mbwira ico wakoze.”
Yonatani aramubwira ati: “Narigase ubuki bukeya ndabuhakuje inkoni yanje. None ntegerezwa gupfa!”44Sawuli aravuga ati: “Imana ize ibimpore mbere birushirije, nutapfa, Yonatani.”45Ariko abasoda baravuga bati: “Mbega Yonatani yopfa ari we yazanye ugutabarwa kungana gutya mu Bisirayeli? Ntibikabe! Turahiye uguhoraho kw’Uhoraho, nta n’agashatsi ko ku mutwe wiwe kaza gukorokera hasi, kuko yakoze ivyo uno musi afashijwe n’Imana.” Nuko abantu bakiza Yonatani batyo, maze ntiyicwa.46Nuko Sawuli areka gukurikira Abafilisitiya, na bo basubira mu gihugu cabo.47Kuva Sawuli ahawe kuganza Abisirayeli, yagwanye n’abansi b’impande zose: Abanyamowabu, Abamoni, Abanyedomu, abami b’i Zoba, n’Abafilisitiya. Kandi aho yaja kugwana hose, yama atahukana intsinzi.48Yagwananye ubuhizi anesha Abamaleki, akura Abisirayeli mu maboko y’abari barabanyaze ivyabo.
Nuko Yonatani abwira umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho ati: “Nkurikira tuduge; Uhoraho abagabuye mu maboko y’Abisirayeli.”13Yonatani aduga aharamba n’amaboko n’amaguru, umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho amukurikiye. Yonatani agenda atera Abafilisitiya bagwa imbere yiwe, umwe amutwaje ibigwanisho na we akagenda arabahohosha.14Muri ico gitero ca mbere Yonatani n’uwari amutwaje ibigwanisho bica abagabo mirongo ibiri, imivyimba yabo yandagara ahantu hangana n’ahorimwa n’inka zibiri ku musi.
Abisirayeli bakinagiza Abafilisitiya
15Maze ubwoba bufata ingabo zose z’Abafilisitiya: abasigaye aho bacumbitse, abari mu mirima, abari ku birindiro hamwe n’imice yagiye gutera yose. Isi iranyiganyiga, haba ubwoba bukomeye burungitswe n’Imana.16Abareretsi ba Sawuli bari i Gibeya mu ntara ya Benyamini babona ingabo z’Abafilisitiya ziruka zishwiragira impande zose.17Nuko Sawuli abwira abari kumwe na we ati: “Koranya ingabo zose turabe uwatuvuyemwo.” Baravye, basanga Yonatani n’uwumutwaza ibigwanisho ni bo bari babuze.18Sawuli abwira Ahiya ati: “Zana Isandugu y’Imana.” (Muri ico gihe yari ifiswe n’Abisirayeli.)19Sawuli akivugana n’umuherezi, urwamo rurushaho kuba rwinshi mu ngabo z’Abafilisitiya. Nuko Sawuli abwira wa muherezi Ahiya ati: “Isigireho kwinginga Uhoraho.”20Nuko Sawuli n’ingabo zari kumwe na we barakorana baja kugwana. Basanga Abafilisitiya bari mu muvurungano ukomeye, umwe wese acumita inkota mugenziwe.21Mbere n’Abaheburayo bari bagiye kwishikana ku Bafilisitiya kandi bari kumwe na bo aho bacumbitse barahindukira baja ku ruhande rw’Abisirayeli bari kumwe na Sawuli na Yonatani.22Abisirayeli bari binyegeje mu karere k’imisozi k’Abefurayimu bumvise ko Abafilisitiya bariko barahunga, babaja inyuma barabagwanya.23Nuko kuri uwo musi, Uhoraho atabara Abisirayeli, kandi urugamba rurabandanya gushika barenze i Beti-Aveni.Yonatani arya ubuki
24Kuri uwo musi Abisirayeli bari bacitse intege kubera kuruha, kuko Sawuli yari yarahije abantu ati: “Aravumwe umuntu aza kugira ico arya butarira, ntarihora abansi banje!” Rero nta muntu n’umwe mu bari ku rugamba yigeze agira ico ashira ku munwa.25Ingabo zose zirenguka ahantu hari ishamba, zisanga hatemba ubuki.26Binjiye mw’ishamba, babona ubuki buriko buratemba, kandi ata n’umwe yigeze abukorako ngo ashire ku munwa, kuko batinya ya ndahiro.27Ariko Yonatani we ntiyari yumvise ko se yarahije abantu, aca ashira inkoni yari yitwaje mu kimamara c’ubuki. Araheza aratamira, intege ziragaruka.28Umwe mu bakuru b’ingabo aramubwira ati: “So yarahije ingabo zose ngo: ‘Aravumwe umuntu wese aza kugira ico ariye uwu musi!’ Ni co gituma abantu bacitse intege.”29Yonatani aravuga ati: “Data yateye amakuba mu gihugu. Raba ingene intege zigarutse maze kurigata kuri ubu buki.30Mbega ntivyari kuba vyiza kurushiriza iyo abantu baba bariye ku vyo banyaze abansi babo? Kandi tuba twarushirijeho kunesha Abafilisitiya.”31Kuri uwo musi, Abisirayeli bamaze kunesha Abafilisitiya kuva i Mikimashi gushika i Ayaloni, bagera aho bacika intege kubera kuruha.32Nuko basimbira ku vyo basahuye, bafata intama, amashuri n’inyana z’inka, babibagira aho nyene bari, baca babirya bikirimwo amaraso.33Umuntu umwe abwira Sawuli ati: “Ehe raba abantu bariko baracumura k’Uhoraho kuko bariko bararya inyama zikirimwo amaraso.”Sawuli aravuga ati: “Mwahemutse! Nimunyarukane ibuye rinini hano ubu nyene.”34Nuko aravuga ati: “Nimugende murondere abantu mubabwire umuntu wese azane hano inka yiwe canke intama yiwe, babibagire kandi babirire hano. Nimureke gucumura k’Uhoraho mu kurya inyama zikirimwo amaraso.”
Nuko umuntu wese azana ishuri yiwe muri iryo joro ayibagira ngaho.35Maze Sawuli yubakira Uhoraho igicaniro; kandi bwari ubwa mbere akora atyo.36Sawuli aravuga ati: “Nimuze tumanuke dukurikire Abafilisitiya mw’ijoro tubanyage ivyabo gushika mu mutwenzi, kandi ntidusigaze n’umwe ari muzima.”
Na bo barishura bati: “Nukore ivyo ubona ko ari vyiza.”
Ariko umuherezi aravuga ati: “Reka dusigurize Imana ngaha nyene.”37Nuko Sawuli abaza Uhoraho ati: “Mbega manuke nkurikire Abafilisitiya? Urabagabura mu maboko y’Abisirayeli?” Ariko Imana ntiyamwishura kuri uwo musi.38Nuko Sawuli aravuga ati: “Nimuze hano mwebwe mwese murongoye abasoda, kugira ngo tugire ubupfindo tumenye icaha cakozwe uwu musi.39Kandi ndahiye uguhoraho kw’Uhoraho atabara Abisirayeli, naho yoba ari umwana wanje Yonatani, ategerezwa gupfa.” Ariko nta n’umwe mu bantu yagize ico avuga.40Nuko Sawuli abwira Abisirayeli bose ati: “Nimuhagarare harya; nanje n’umuhungu wanje Yonatani duhagarare hano.”
Abantu barishura bati: “Nukore ikiguhimbaye cose.”41Nuko Sawuli asenga Uhoraho, Imana y’Abisirayeli ati: “Ni igiki catumye utanyishura jewe umusavyi wawe uno musi? Nimba vyavuye ku caha nakoze canke umuhungu wanje Yonatani yakoze, ndakwinginze wishure na Urimu, ariko nimba vyavuye ku caha c’abasoda ba Isirayeli, ndakwinginze wishure na Tumimu.” Maze Yonatani na Sawuli baba ari bo bafatwa n’ubupfindo, abasoda bo barera.42Sawuli aravuga ati: “Mugire ubupfindo hagati yanje na Yonatani umuhungu wanje.” Maze Yonatani aba ari we afatwa.43Maze Sawuli abwira Yonatani ati: “Mbwira ico wakoze.”
Yonatani aramubwira ati: “Narigase ubuki bukeya ndabuhakuje inkoni yanje. None ntegerezwa gupfa!”44Sawuli aravuga ati: “Imana ize ibimpore mbere birushirije, nutapfa, Yonatani.”45Ariko abasoda baravuga bati: “Mbega Yonatani yopfa ari we yazanye ugutabarwa kungana gutya mu Bisirayeli? Ntibikabe! Turahiye uguhoraho kw’Uhoraho, nta n’agashatsi ko ku mutwe wiwe kaza gukorokera hasi, kuko yakoze ivyo uno musi afashijwe n’Imana.” Nuko abantu bakiza Yonatani batyo, maze ntiyicwa.46Nuko Sawuli areka gukurikira Abafilisitiya, na bo basubira mu gihugu cabo.47Kuva Sawuli ahawe kuganza Abisirayeli, yagwanye n’abansi b’impande zose: Abanyamowabu, Abamoni, Abanyedomu, abami b’i Zoba, n’Abafilisitiya. Kandi aho yaja kugwana hose, yama atahukana intsinzi.48Yagwananye ubuhizi anesha Abamaleki, akura Abisirayeli mu maboko y’abari barabanyaze ivyabo.
