4 Ndipo pakati pa mipata imene Yonatani anafuna kupitapo kunka ku kaboma ka Afilisti, panali phiri lathanthwe pa mbali ina, ndi phiri lathanthwe pa mbali inzake; ndipo dzina la linalo ndilo Bozezi, ndi la linzake ndilo Sene.
5 Phiri lija linaimirira kuyang’ana kumpoto pandunji pa Mikimasi, ndi linzake kumwera pandunji pa Geba.
6 Ndipo Yonatani ananena ndi mnyamata wonyamula zida zake, Tiye tipite ku kaboma ka osadulidwa awa; kapena Yehova adzatigwirira ntchito; pakuti palibe chomletsa Yehova kupulumutsa angakhale ndi ambiri kapena ndi owerengeka.
7 Ndipo wonyamula zida zake anena naye, Chitani zonse zili mumtima mwanu; palukani, onani ndili pamodzi ndi inu monga mwa mtima wanu.
8 Ndipo Yonatani anati, Taona, ife tidzapita kunka kwa anthuwo, ndipo tidzadziwulula kwa iwo.
9 Akatero ndi ife kuti, Baimani kufikira titsikira kwa inu; tsono tidzaima m’malo mwathu, osakwera kwa iwo.
10 Koma akatero kuti, Kwerani kuno kwa ife, tsono tidzakwera; pakuti Yehova wawapereka m’manja mwathu; ndipo ichi chidzatikhalira chizindikiro.
11 Ndipo onse awiri anadziwulula kwa a ku kaboma ka Afilistiwo; ndipo Afilistiwo anati, Onani, Ahebri alikutuluka m’mauna m’mene anabisala.
12 Ndipo a ku kabomawo anayankha Yonatani ndi wonyamula zida zake, nati, Kwerani kuno kwa ife, tikuonetseni kanthu. Ndipo Yonatani, anauza wonyamula zida zake, Kwera unditsate m’mbuyo, pakuti Yehova wawapereka m’dzanja la Israele.
13 Ndipo Yonatani anakwera chokwawa, ndi wonyamula zida zake anamtsata; ndi Afilisti anagwa pamaso pa Yonatani, ndi wonyamula zida zake anawapha pambuyo pake.
14 Kuwapha koyambako, Yonatani ndi wonyamula zida zake, anapha monga anthu makumi awiri, monga ndime ya munda yolima ng’ombe ziwiri tsiku limodzi.
15 Ndipo kunali kunthunthumira kuzithando, kuthengoko, ndi pakati pa anthu onse; a ku kaboma ndi owawanya omwe ananthunthumira; ndi dziko linagwedezeka; chomwecho kunali kunthunthumira kwakukulu koposa.

22 Anateronso Aisraele onse akubisala m’phiri la Efuremu, pakumva kuti Afilisti anathawa, iwo anawapirikitsa kolimba kunkhondoko.
23 Chomwecho Yehova anapulumutsa Israele tsiku lija; ndipo nkhondo inapitirira pa Betaveni.
24 Ndipo Aisraele anasauka tsiku lija; pakuti Saulo anawalumbirira, kuti, Atembereredwe iye wakudya kanthu kufikira madzulo, ndikabwezere chilango adani anga. Motero anthu onse anakhala opanda kudya.

26 Ndipo pakufika anthuwo m’nkhalangomo, onani, madzi a uchi anachuluka; koma panalibe munthu mmodzi anaika dzanja lake pakamwa, pakuti anthuwo anaopa tembererolo.
27 Koma Yonatani sanamve m’mene atate wake analumbirira anthu; chifukwa chake iye anatambalitsa ndodo ya m’dzanja lake, naitosa m’chisa cha uchi, naika dzanja lake pakamwa pake; ndipo m’maso mwake munayera.

29 Ndipo Yonatani anati, Atate wanga wavuta dziko; onani m’maso mwanga mwayera, chifukwa ndinalawako pang’ono uchiwu.
30 Koposa kotani nanga, ngati anthu akadadya nakhuta zowawanya anazipeza za adani ao? Popeza tsopano palibe kuwapha kwakukulu kwa Afilisti.
31 Ndipo anakantha Afilisti tsiku lija kuyambira ku Mikimasi kufikira ku Ayaloni, ndipo anthu anafooka kwambiri.
32 Ndipo anthuwo anathamangira zowawanyazo, natenga nkhosa, ndi ng’ombe, ndi anaang’ombe, naziphera pansi; anthu nazidya zili ndi mwazi wao.
33 Pamenepo anauza Saulo, kuti, Onani anthu alikuchimwira Yehova, umo akudya zamwazi. Ndipo iye anati, Munachita konyenga; kunkhunizani mwala waukulu kwa ine lero.

37 Ndipo Saulo anafunsira uphungu kwa Mulungu, Nditsikire kodi kwa Afilisti? Mudzawapereka m’dzanja la Israele kodi? Koma Iye sanamyankhe tsiku lomweli.
38 Ndipo Saulo anati, Musendere kuno, inu nonse akulu a anthu; kuti muzindikire ndi kuona m’mene muli choipa ichi lero.
39 Pakuti, pali Yehova wakupulumutsa Israele, chingakhale chili m’mwana wanga Yonatani, koma adzafa ndithu. Koma pakati pa anthu onse panalibe mmodzi wakumyankha iye.
