funa emadvodzakati alabangakasoki atfokote.
21“Nine tintsaba taseGilbowa,
shangatsi ningabate ematolo nemvula,
nibete nemasimi laneminikelo yalokutinhlavu.
Ngobe lihawu lalabanemandla lilele ehlazweni,
lihawu laSawula alisamanyateliswa ngemafutsa.
22
Engatini yalabagwaziwe
nasetidvunjini temachawe,
butjoki baJonathani bashaya bacotfula,
nenkemba yaSawula ayibuyanga yabayaba.
23“Sawula naJonathani
basaphila babetsandvwa, baligugu,
nasekufeni abazange behlukane.
Bebanematubane kwendlula emangce,
bebanemandla kwendlula emabhubesi.
24“Awu, madvodzakati aka-Israyeli,
lilelani Sawula.
Wanembatsisa ngaletibovu naleticolisakele,
wahlobisa tingubo tenu
ngemihlobiso yegolide.
25“Emachawe lanemandla awile emphini!
Jonathani ulele, ubulawelwe etintsabeni takho.

27“Emachawe lanemandla awile!
Tikhali temphi nato setibhubhile.”
