Uwo muntu ati: “Abisiraheli barahunze kandi benshi muri bo baguye ku rugamba, ndetse Sawuli n’umuhungu we Yonatani na bo barapfuye.”

5 Dawidi abaza uwo musore ati: “Wamenye ute ko Sawuli n’umuhungu we Yonatani bapfuye?”

6 Uwo musore ati: “Nari ku musozi wa Gilibowa mbona Sawuli yishingikirije icumu, yari asatiriwe cyane n’Abafilisiti bari mu magare y’intambara n’abarwanira ku mafarasi.

7 Akebutse arambona, arampamagara nditaba nti: ‘Karame!’

Aramusubiza ati: “Data ni Umwamaleki w’umwimukīra mu gihugu cyanyu.”

14 Dawidi aramubwira ati: “Koko watinyutse kwica umwami Uhoraho yimikishije amavuta!”

15 Dawidi ni ko guhamagara umwe mu ngabo ze aramubwira ati: “Genda umwice.” Nuko aramwica.

19 “Isiraheli we, icyubahiro cyawe kiburiye mu mpinga z’imisozi

mbega ukuntu intwari zawe zahaguye!

20 Ntimubihingukirize ab’i Gati,

ntibizamamazwe mu mayira ya Ashikeloni,

naho ubundi Abafilisitikazi bazishima,

abo bakobwa b’abatemera Imana bazasābwa n’ibyishimo.

21 Misozi y’i Gilibowa, ikime n’imvura ntibikabatose ukundi,

imirima yanyu ntizongere kurumbuka,

ingabo zakingiraga intwari zanduriye muri mwe,

ingabo ya Sawuli na yo ntigisigwa amavuta.

22 Umuheto wa Yonatani ntiwahushaga umwanzi,

inkota ya Sawuli na yo ntiyatahaga ubusa,

byombi byicaga ab’intwari mu banzi.

23 Sawuli na Yonatani bari bafite igikundiro mu mibereho yabo,

no mu rupfu rwabo ntibasiganye.

Banyarukaga kurusha agaca,

bagiraga imbaraga kurusha intare!

24 Bisirahelikazi, nimuririre Sawuli,

yabambikaga imyenda y’igiciro,

imyambaro yanyu yayitakishaga zahabu.

25 Mbega ukuntu intwari zaguye ku rugamba!

Yonatani yaguye mu mpinga z’imisozi.

26 Igendere muvandimwe Yonatani unsigiye agahinda,

wari incuti yanjye y’amagara,

wankunze ku buryo butangaje,

urukundo rwawe rwandutiraga urw’abagore.

27 Mbega ukuntu intwari zahaguye!

Intwaro z’intambara zararimbuwe.”
