44. Wathi uSawule, UThixo makenjenje kum, aqokele ukwenjenje; inene, ukufa ùya kufa, Yonatan.
45. Bathi abantu kuSawule, Afe na uYonatan, owenze olu lusindiso lukhulu kwaSirayeli? Makube lee oko! Ehleli nje uYehova, akusayi kuwa nonwele lwentloko yakhe emhlabeni; ngokuba usebenzisene noThixo namhla. Bamkhulula ke abantu uYonatan, akafa.
