1 Nahasi, Mwamoni anapita ndi kuzungulira mzinda wa Yabesi Giliyadi. Tsono anthu onse a ku Yabesi anapempha Nahasiyo kuti, “Muchite nafe pangano, ndipo tidzakutumikirani.”
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Naʻasi ko e tangata ʻAmoni, pea ne te u tau ki Sepesi-Kiliati: pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, “Fai hoʻo fuakava mo kimautolu, pea te mau tauhi kiate koe.”
2 Koma Nahasi Mwamoni uja anayankha kuti, “Ndidzachita nanu pangano pokhapokha nditakolowola diso lakumanja la aliyense wa inu kuti ndichititse manyazi Aisraeli onse.”
Pea pehē ʻe Naʻasi ko e tangata ʻAmoni kiate kinautolu, “ʻI he meʻa ni pe te u fai ʻae fuakava mo kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u kapeʻi homou mata toʻomataʻu kotoa pē ʻe tuku ia ko e meʻa manuki ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”
3 Akuluakulu a mzinda wa Yabesi anati kwa iye, “Utipatse masiku asanu ndi awiri kuti titumize uthenga mu Israeli monse. Ngati sipapezeka wodzatipulumutsa, ndiye ife tidzadzipereka kwa iwe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Sepesi kiate ia, “Ke ke kātaki ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, koeʻuhi ke mau fekau ʻemau talafekau ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea pehē, kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, te mau ʻalu atu kiate koe.”
4 Amithenga aja atafika kwawo kwa Sauli ku Gibeya ndi kufotokoza nkhaniyi kwa anthu onse, iwo analira motaya mtima.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kau talafekau ki Kipea ʻo Saula, pea fakahā ʻae ongoongo ki he telinga ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe hiki honau leʻo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo tangi.
5 Pa nthawiyo nʼkuti Sauli akubwera kuchokera ku munda, ali pambuyo pa ngʼombe zake za ntchito ndipo anafunsa. “Nʼchiyani chawavuta anthuwa kuti azilira motere?” Ndipo anamufotokozera zomwe anthu a mu mzinda wa Yabesi ananena.
Pea vakai, naʻe muimui mai ʻa Saula ki he fanga manu, mei he ngoue; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kakai?” Pea naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae ongoongo ʻoe kau tangata ʻo Sepesi.
6 Sauli atamva mawu awo, Mzimu wa Mulungu unabwera pa iye mwa mphamvu ndipo anakwiya kwambiri.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua kia Saula ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi ongoongo ni, pea tupu ai ʻene ʻita ʻo lahi.
7 Tsono anatenga ngʼombe ziwiri za ntchito, nazidula nthulinthuli. Ndipo anatumiza amithenga ndi nthulizo dziko lonse la Israeli ndi mawu akuti, “Umo ndi mmene adzachite ndi ngʼombe ya aliyense amene satsata Sauli ndi Samueli.” Ndipo anthu anachita mantha aakulu motero kuti onse ananyamuka ndi mtima umodzi.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae fanga pulu ʻe ua, pea tuʻutuʻu ke iiki, pea fekau ke ʻave ʻo tufaki ki he ngaahi potu kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he nima ʻoe kau tangata fekau, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ʻo muimui ʻia Saula mo Samuela, ʻe fai pehē pe ki heʻene fanga pulu.” Pea naʻe tō ki he kakai ʻae manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau hiki loto taha pe kituaʻā.
8 Pamenepo Sauli anawasonkhanitsa ku Bezeki nawawerenga, ndipo Aisraeli analipo 300,000, Ayuda analipo 30,000.
Pea ʻi heʻene lau ʻakinautolu ʻi Piseki, naʻe toko tolu kilu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea toko tolu mano ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta.
9 Tsono Sauli anawuza amithenga ochokera ku Yabesi aja kuti, “Mukawawuze anthu a ku Yabesi Giliyadi kuti mawa nthawi ya masana adzapulumutsidwa.” Pamene amithengawo anapita ndi kukafotokoza nkhani imeneyi kwa anthu a ku Yabesi, iwo anasangalala kwambiri.
Pea naʻa nau pehē ki he kau talafekau naʻe haʻu, Ke mou lea pehē ki he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati, “Ko e ʻapongipongi, ʻo feʻunga mo e mafana ʻoe laʻā, te mou maʻu ʻae tokoni.” Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata fekau ʻo fakahā ia ki he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi: pea naʻa nau fiefia ai.
10 Choncho anthu a ku Yabesi anawuza Nahasi kuti, “Mawa tidzadzipereka kwa inu ndipo inu mudzachite nafe chilichonse chokukomerani.”
Ko ia naʻe tala ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Sepesi, “Te mau ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻapongipongi, pea te mou fai kiate kimautolu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku matalelei kiate kimoutolu.”
11 Tsono mmawa mwake Sauli anagawa anthuwo mʼmagulu atatu. Mmamawa kusanache iwo analowa mʼmisasa ya Aamoni ndi kuwapha mpaka masana. Amene anapulumuka anabalalika, aliyense kwakekwake.
Pea hoko ki he ʻapongipongi, pea pehē, naʻe fokotuʻu vahe tolu ʻe Saula ʻae kakai; pea naʻa nau hoko ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tau ʻi he lakanga leʻo pongipongi, ʻo taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻAmoni ʻo aʻu ki he pupuha ʻoe ʻaho: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu naʻe toe, naʻe ʻikai tuʻu fakataha ha toko ua.
12 Kenaka anthu anafunsa Samueli kuti, “Kodi ndani aja ankanena kuti, ‘Kodi Sauli nʼkutilamulira ife?’ Bwera nawoni kuno kuti tidzawaphe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Samuela, ko hai ia naʻe pehē, “ʻE pule koā ʻa Saula kiate kimautolu? Omi ʻae kau tangata, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.”
13 Koma Sauli anati, “Palibe amene ati aphedwe lero, pakuti lero lino Yehova wagwira ntchito yopulumutsa Israeli.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “ʻE ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻe tāmateʻi he ʻaho ni: he kuo fai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻi ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni.”
14 Ndipo Samueli anati kwa anthuwo, “Tiyeni tipite ku Giligala kuti tikatsimikizenso kuti Sauli ndi mfumu yathu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki Kilikali, ō fakamaʻu ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi ai.”
15 Choncho anthu onse anapita ku Giligala ndipo kumeneko Samueli anakalonga Sauli ufumu pamaso pa Yehova. Pambuyo pake anthu anapereka nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anachita chikondwerero chachikulu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki Kilikali; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻi ai ʻa Saula ke tuʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Kilikali; pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ko e feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe fiefia lahi ʻi ai ʻa Saula mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
