1 Nahasi, Mwamoni anapita ndi kuzungulira mzinda wa Yabesi Giliyadi. Tsono anthu onse a ku Yabesi anapempha Nahasiyo kuti, “Muchite nafe pangano, ndipo tidzakutumikirani.”
Ɛbɛyɛ bosome akyi, Amonhene Nahas dii nʼakodɔm anim bɛtoaa Israel kuropɔn Yabes Gilead. Na Yabesman mma bisaa asomdwoeɛ. Wɔsrɛɛ sɛ, “Momma yɛne mo nyɛ apam, na yɛbɛyɛ mo asomfoɔ.”
2 Koma Nahasi Mwamoni uja anayankha kuti, “Ndidzachita nanu pangano pokhapokha nditakolowola diso lakumanja la aliyense wa inu kuti ndichititse manyazi Aisraeli onse.”
Nahas kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, na adeɛ baako pɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mopene so. Ɛne sɛ, mɛtu obiara ani nifa baako de agu Israel nyinaa anim ase.”
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.”
Na Yabes mpanin no buaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn nnanson, na yɛmfa nsoma abɔfoɔ mfa Israel nyinaa, na sɛ yɛn abusuafoɔ amma ammɛgye yɛn deɛ a, yɛbɛpene wo nhyehyɛeɛ no so.”
4 Amithenga aja atafika kwawo kwa Sauli ku Gibeya ndi kufotokoza nkhaniyi kwa anthu onse, iwo analira motaya mtima.
Abɔfoɔ no bɛduruu Gibea a ɛyɛ Saulo kurom, bɛkaa asɛm a ato wɔn no kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ maa wɔn nyinaa suiɛ.
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.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Saulo refuntum nʼafuo. Na ɔbaa efie no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm na asie? Adɛn enti na nisuo abu obiara kɔn yi?” Enti, wɔbɔɔ asɛm a ɛfiri Yabes hɔ aba no ho amanneɛ.
6 Sauli atamva mawu awo, Mzimu wa Mulungu unabwera pa iye mwa mphamvu ndipo anakwiya kwambiri.
Onyankopɔn honhom bɛsii Saulo so dendeenden. Na ne bo fuu yie.
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.
Ɔfaa anantwie mmienu, twitwaa wɔn asinasini, na wɔmaa abɔfoɔ no soa kyinii Israel nyinaa, de saa nkratoɔ yi kaa ho sɛ, “Obiara a wanni Saulo ne Samuel akyi ankɔ ɔko no, saa ara na ne nantwie bɛyɛ!” Na Awurade maa nnipa no suroo Saulo abufuo no. Enti, wɔn nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano.
8 Pamenepo Sauli anawasonkhanitsa ku Bezeki nawawerenga, ndipo Aisraeli analipo 300,000, Ayuda analipo 30,000.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Besek a ɔkan wɔn no, na Israel mmarima dodoɔ yɛ ɔpehasa ne Yudafoɔ a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ ɔpeduasa.
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.
Enti, Saulo somaa abɔfoɔ no ma wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔɔ Yabes Gilead kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɔkyena awia prɛmtoberɛ mu, yɛbɛyi mo afiri mo ahokyere no mu.” Abɔfoɔ no duruu kuro no mu no, anigyeɛ bunkam faa hɔ.
10 Choncho anthu a ku Yabesi anawuza Nahasi kuti, “Mawa tidzadzipereka kwa inu ndipo inu mudzachite nafe chilichonse chokukomerani.”
Na Yabes mmarima ka kyerɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛba mo so, na deɛ mopɛ no, monyɛ yɛn.”
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.
Nanso, ansa na adeɛ rebɛkye no, na Saulo aduru hɔ dada. Ɔkyekyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no mu akuo mmiɛnsa. Ɔto hyɛɛ Amonfoɔ no so mpofirim, kunkumm wɔn anɔpa mu no nyinaa. Wɔn akodɔm nkaeɛ no bɔ hwetee baabiara a obi mpo nhunu sɛ wɔn mu baanu bi gyina baabi.
12 Kenaka anthu anafunsa Samueli kuti, “Kodi ndani aja ankanena kuti, ‘Kodi Sauli nʼkutilamulira ife?’ Bwera nawoni kuno kuti tidzawaphe.”
Afei, nnipa no teaam frɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Nnipa a wɔka sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ Saulo di yɛn so ɔhene no wɔ he? Momfa wɔn mmra na yɛnkum wɔn.”
13 Koma Sauli anati, “Palibe amene ati aphedwe lero, pakuti lero lino Yehova wagwira ntchito yopulumutsa Israeli.”
Nanso, Saulo buaa sɛ, “Wɔrenkum obiara ɛnnɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade agye Israel ɛnnɛ.”
14 Ndipo Samueli anati kwa anthuwo, “Tiyeni tipite ku Giligala kuti tikatsimikizenso kuti Sauli ndi mfumu yathu.”
Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mommra na yɛn nyinaa nkɔ Gilgal nkɔsi Saulo ahennie no so dua.”
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.
Enti, wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Gilgal, na wɔhyɛɛ Saulo sahenekyɛ wɔ Awurade anim. Na wɔbɔɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade, na Saulo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa ani gyeeɛ.
