16. Wathi ke uDavide kuyo, Igazi lakho malibe sentlokweni yakho; ngokuba umlomo wakho úlingqina ngawe, usithi, Mna ndimbulele umthanjiswa kaYehova.
17. Ke kaloku uDavide wasenza esi simbonono ngoSawule nangoYonatan unyana wakhe,
18. wathi mabayifundiswe oonyana bakaYuda ingoma leyo yesaphetha; nantso ibhaliwe encwadini yOthe Tye.
19. Imbalarha, Sirayeli, ibulewe emimangweni yakho!Hayi, ukuwa kwamagorha!
20. Musani ukuxela eGati;Musani ukwenza zindaba ezitratweni zeAshkelon,Hleze zivuye iintombi zamaFilisti,Hleze zivuyelele iintombi zabangalukileyo.
21. Nina zintaba zaseGilibhowa,Makungaze kubekho mbethe, makungaze kubekho mvula kuni, namasimi emirhumo;Ngokuba khona kwangcola iingweletshetshe zamagorha,Ingweletshetshe kaSawule, wanga waye engathanjiswanga ngeoli.
22. Egazini labahlatyiweyo, emanqatheni amagorha,Isaphetha sikaYonatan besingabuyi umva,Ikrele likaSawule belingabuyi lilambatha.
23. USawule noYonatan babeziinzwana, bethandeka ekudleni kwabo ubomi,Nasekufeni kwabo abahlukananga.Babenamendu ngaphezu kwamaxhalanga,Babenamandla ngaphezu kweengonyama.
24. Zintombi zakwaSirayeli, mlileleni uSawule,Obenambesa iingubo ezibomvu, eniyolisa;Obeninxiba izihombo zegolide ezambathweni zenu.
25. Hayi, ukuwa kwamagorha phakathi kwemfazwe!UYonatan ubulawelwe emimangweni yakho
26. Ndibandezelekile ngenxa yakho, mzalwana wam Yonatan;Ùbumnandi kakhulu kum;Kubalukekile ukundithanda kwakhoNgaphezu kokuthanda komntu oyinkazana.
27. Hayi, ukuwa kwamagorha!Adakile amadoda okulwa!
