1 Samweli 26:19
1 Samuel 26:19 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Sasa mfalme bwana wangu na asikilize maneno ya mtumishi wake. Kama Bwana amekuchochea dhidi yangu, basi yeye na aipokee sadaka yangu. Lakini hata hivyo, kama ni wanadamu waliofanya hivyo, walaaniwe mbele za Bwana! Wao sasa wamenifukuza kutoka sehemu yangu katika urithi wa Bwana wangu wakisema, ‘Nenda ukatumikie miungu mingine.’
1 Samuel 26:19 in English
1 Samuel 26:19 · Berean Standard Bible
Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
Context
17Sauli akatambua sauti ya Daudi, na kusema, “Je, hiyo ni sauti yako, Daudi mwanangu?”
Daudi akajibu, “Naam, hiyo ndiyo, bwana wangu mfalme.” 18Pia akaongeza, “Kwa nini bwana wangu anamfuatia mtumishi wake? Nimefanya nini, nalo kosa langu ni lipi nililolifanya niwe na hatia? 19Sasa mfalme bwana wangu na asikilize maneno ya mtumishi wake. Kama Bwana amekuchochea dhidi yangu, basi yeye na aipokee sadaka yangu. Lakini hata hivyo, kama ni wanadamu waliofanya hivyo, walaaniwe mbele za Bwana! Wao sasa wamenifukuza kutoka sehemu yangu katika urithi wa Bwana wangu wakisema, ‘Nenda ukatumikie miungu mingine.’ 20Basi usiache damu yangu imwagike kwenye ardhi mbali na uso wa Bwana. Mfalme wa Israeli ametoka kutafuta kiroboto, kama vile mtu awindavyo kware katika milima.” 21Ndipo Sauli akasema, “Nimetenda dhambi. Rudi, Daudi mwanangu. Kwa kuwa uliyahesabu maisha yangu kuwa ya thamani leo, sitajaribu kukudhuru tena. Hakika nimetenda kama mpumbavu na nimekosa sana.”
