Tswana 1992 Bible - 11 verses
1Jaana Bafilisitia ba phuthela dintwa tsotlhe tsa bone kwa Afeke; Baiseraele ba thibelela fa motsweding o o mo Jesereele.
2Barena ba Bafilisitia ba feta ka ba makgolo, le ka ba makgolo a masome; Dafite le banna ba gagwe ba feta ba le mo tshimegeng ba na le Akiše.
3Foo dikgosana tsa Bafilisitia tsa re: “Ana Bahebere ba, ba dirang fano?” Akiše a raya dikgosana tsa Bafilisitia a re: “A yo ga se Dafite, motlhanka wa ga Saule kgosi ya Iseraele, yo ke ntseng ke na nae malatsi a, kgotsa dinyaga tse, mme e sa le jaaka a thobela kwa go nna le gompieno, ga ke ise ke bone molato ope mo go ene.”
4Mme dikgosana tsa Bafilisitia tsa nna bogale thata nae; dikgosana tsa Bafilisitia tsa mo raya tsa re: “Busa monna yo, gore a boele kwa felong ga gagwe, kwa o mo laoletseng gone, a se ka a ya le rona tlhabanong, e ka tla ya re mo tlhabanong a nna mmaba wa rona; gonne seapu se se tlaa itetlanya le morena wa sone ka eng? A ga e tlaa bo e le ka ditlhogo tsa batho ba?
5A yo ga se Dafite yo ba ne ba opelelana ka ga gagwe mo dipineng ba re: “ ‘Saule o bolaile ba makgolo a masome ba gagwe, Dafite o bolaile ba makgolo a makgolo ba gagwe’?”
6Foo Akiše a bitsa Dafite, a mo raya a re: “Jaaka Jehofa a tshedile, o ntse o le tshiamo, go tswa ga gago le go tsena ga gago le nna mo ntweng go molemo mo matlhong a me; gonne e sa le ka o tla mo go nna nako ke eno, ga ke ise ke bone bosula mo go wena; le fa go ntse jalo barena ga ba go lebe sentle.
7Ke gone jaana boa o tsamaye ka kagiso, gore o se itumolole barena ba Bafilisitia.”
8Dafite a raya Akiše a re: “Ke dirileng? O bonye eng mo motlhankeng wa gago ka lobaka lotlhe lo ke ntseng fa pele ga gago ka lone, nako e sa le eno, fa e tlaa bo ne ne fano ke sa ye go tlhabana le baba ba kgosi morena wa me?”
9Akiše a fetola a raya Dafite a re: “Ke a itse fa o le molemo mo matlhong a me, o ntse jaaka moengele mongwe wa Modimo; le fa go ntse jalo dikgosana tsa Bafilisitia di rile: ‘Ga a ye le rona tlhabanong.’
10Ke gone o tle o tsoge ka maphakela le batlhanka ba morena wa gago ba o tsileng nabo; mme e tlaa re lo sena go tsoga ka maphakela, bosa bo sele, lo tsamaye.”
11Jalo Dafite a tsoga ka maphakela, ene le banna ba gagwe, go tla ba tsamaya mo mosong, go boela kwa lefatsheng la Bafilisitia. Bafilisitia ba tlhatlogela kwa Jesereele.
