19 “Haiwa iwe Israeri, runako rwako rwaurayirwa munzvimbo dzako dzakakwirira.+
Varume vane simba vawa!
20 Musazvitaura muGati;+Musazvizivise mumigwagwa yeAshkeroni,Nekuti vanasikana vevaFiristiya vangafara,Nekuti vanasikana vevarume vasina kuchecheudzwa vangapembera nemufaro.
21 Imi makomo eGiribhoa,+Dova kana mvura ngazvirege kuva pamusoro penyu,Kana minda inoita kuti pave nemipiro mitsvene,+Nekuti nhoo yevane simba yakasvibiswa ipapo,Nhoo yaSauro haisisina kuzodzwa nemafuta.
22 Paropa revakaurayiwa, pamafuta evane simba,Uta hwaJonatani hwaisakundikana,+Uye bakatwa raSauro raisadzoka risina kubudirira.+
23 Sauro naJonatani,+ vaidiwa chaizvo uye vaikosheswa* pakurarama kwavo,Uye pakufa havana kuparadzaniswa.+
Vaimhanya kupfuura makondo,+Vaine simba kupfuura shumba.+
24 Haiwa vanasikana vaIsraeri, chemai Sauro,Uyo aikupfekedzai zvipfeko zvitsvuku nezvinhu zvakanaka kwazvo,Uye aiisa zvishongo zvegoridhe pazvipfeko zvenyu.
25 Chokwadi vane simba vafira muhondo!
Jonatani aurayiwa uye ati rabada pasi panzvimbo dzako dzakakwirira!+
26 Ndiri kunetseka chaizvo pamusoro pako, hama yangu Jonatani;Ndaikuda chaizvo.+
Madiro awaindiita aishamisa kupfuura rudo rwevakadzi.+
27 Chokwadi vane simba vawaUye zvombo zvehondo zvaparara!”
