Tayerekezani kuti ndinu Natani ndipo mwakumana ndi Davide n’kuyamba kumuuza nkhani yakuti: “Panali amuna awiri amene anali kukhala mumzinda umodzi. Wina anali wolemera ndipo wina anali wosauka. Munthu wolemera uja anali ndi nkhosa ndi ng’ombe zambiri. Koma munthu wosauka uja anali ndi kamwana ka nkhosa kamodzi kokha kakakazi kamene anagula.

Kwa iye kanali ngati mwana wake wamkazi. Patapita nthawi, kwa munthu wolemera uja kunabwera mlendo. Koma munthu wolemerayo sanatenge zina mwa nkhosa zake ndi ng’ombe zake kuti akonzere mlendo amene anabwera kwawoyo. M’malomwake, anatenga kamwana ka nkhosa kakakazi ka munthu wosauka uja ndi kukonzera munthu amene anabwera kwawoyo kuti adye.”—2 Sam. 12:1-4.

Katswiri wina anati: “N’kutheka kuti Natani ankabwera kwa Davide kudzamupempha kuti athandize anthu ovutika omwe analibe owathandiza ndipo panopa Davide ankaganiza kuti Natani akuchita zimenezo.” Kaya zimenezi ndi zoona, Natani ayenera kuti anafunika kukhala wokhulupirika kwa Mulungu komanso wolimba mtima kuti akalankhule ndi mfumu. Zimene Natani analankhulazi zinakwiyitsa kwambiri Davide moti anati: “Ndithu, pali Yehova Mulungu wamoyo, munthu wochita zimenezi ayenera kufa.” Ndiyeno atatero Natani ananena mosapita m’mbali kuti: “Munthu ameneyo ndiwe!”—2 Sam. 12:5-7.

Natani ankalemekeza kwambiri Davide choncho anakambirana naye mosamala kwambiri. Natani ankadziwa kuti mumtima mwake Davide ankakonda chilungamo. Choncho mneneriyu anagwiritsa ntchito fanizo lomwe lingafike pamtima munthu wokonda chilungamo. Nafenso tikhoza kuthandiza anthu ofuna choonadi kumvetsa maganizo a Yehova pa nkhani zosiyanasiyana.

Popeza Natani ankalambira Yehova mokhulupirika, analimbikitsa Davide kuti amange nyumba yoyamba yoti azilambiriramo Mulungu padziko lapansi. Koma zikuoneka kuti pa nthawiyi, Natani anangonena maganizo ake m’malo monena zinthu m’dzina la Yehova.

Kenako Natani anapita kwa Davide kukamufunsa ngati wavomereza zoti Adoniya akhale mfumu. Davide ataona kuti nkhaniyi yafika povuta, anauza Natani ndi anthu ena okhulupirika kuti adzoze Solomo kukhala mfumu komanso alengeze zoti Solomoyo ndi mfumu. Apa zokhumba za Adoniya zinalephereka.—1 Maf. 1:5-53.
