Dawid penee so sɛ, “Ɛyɛ pa ara, woankasa bɛhunu deɛ yɛbɛtumi ayɛ.” Akis kaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ wo me hobanbɔfoɔ afebɔɔ.”
3 Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Samueli atamwalira, ndipo Aisraeli onse anamulira namuyika mʼmanda ku mzinda wake wa Rama. Sauli anali atachotsa mʼdzikomo anthu owombeza mawula ndi woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa.
Saa ɛberɛ yi na Samuel awu, ama Israel nyinaa atwa agyaadwoɔ. Wɔsiee no wɔ ɔno ara ne kurom Rama. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Saulo apamo asamanfrɛfoɔ ne ahohomfrɛfoɔ afiri asase no so.
4 Tsono Afilisti anasonkhana nabwera kudzamanga misasa yawo ku Sunemu. Nayenso Sauli anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse ndi kumanga misasa yawo ku Gilibowa.

5 Sauli ataona gulu lankhondo la Afilisti anaopa ndipo ananjenjemera kwambiri.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo hunuu Filistifoɔ akodɔm dodoɔ no, ɔsuroeɛ, maa ehu bɛhyɛɛ nʼakoma ma.
6 Choncho Sauli anafunsa nzeru kwa Yehova koma Yehova sanamuyankhe ngakhale kudzera mʼmaloto, kapena mwa Urimu ngakhalenso kudzera mwa aneneri.
Ɔbisaa Awurade deɛ ɔnyɛ nanso Awurade ammua no, wɔ adaeɛsoɔ anaa ntontobɔ kronkron anaa adiyifoɔ so.
7 Kenaka Sauli anawuza nduna zake kuti, “Mundipezere mkazi amene amawombeza mawula kuti ndipite ndikafunse kwa iye.” Nduna zakezo zinamuyankha kuti, “Alipo mkazi woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa ku Endori.”
Saulo ka kyerɛɛ nʼafotufoɔ sɛ, “Monhwehwɛ ɔbaa samanfrɛfoɔ bi mma me, na menkɔ ne hɔ abisa.” Nʼafotufoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔbaa samanfrɛfoɔ bi wɔ Endor.”
8 Kotero Sauli anadzizimbayitsa navala zovala zachilendo. Tsono iye pamodzi ndi anthu awiri anapita nakafika kwa mkazi uja usiku, ndipo anamupempha kuti, “Chonde ndifunsireni nzeru kwa mizimu ya anthu akufa. Koma makamaka munditulutsire mzimu wa amene ndimutchule.”
Enti, Saulo sesaa ne ho, hyɛɛ ntadeɛ afoforɔ nsakyeramu bi a ɛnyɛ ɔhene afadeɛ, na ɔne mmarima no mu baanu kɔɔ ɔbaa no nkyɛn anadwo. Saulo kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ me ne obi a wawu kasa. Wobɛtumi afrɛ ne sunsum ama me anaa?”
9 Koma mkaziyo anayankha kuti, “Ndithu inu mukudziwa chimene Sauli anachita. Paja iye anachotsa mʼdziko muno anthu onse owombeza ndi woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa. Chifukwa chiyani mukutchera moyo wanga msampha kuti ndiphedwe?”
Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Wopɛ sɛ wɔkum me anaa? Wonim sɛ Saulo apamo asamanfrɛfoɔ ne ahohomfrɛfoɔ nyinaa afiri asase yi so. Adɛn enti na wosum me afidie?”
10 Koma Sauli analonjeza mkaziyo molumbira nati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, iweyo sudzalangidwa chifukwa cha zimenezi.”
Saulo de Awurade din kaa no ntam sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, wɔrentwe wʼaso wɔ yei ho da.”
11 Kenaka mkaziyo anafunsa, “Ndikuyitanireni yani?” Iye anati, “Undiyitanire Samueli.”
Afei, ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na memfrɛ no mma wo?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Frɛ Samuel ma me.”
12 Pamene mkaziyo anaona Samueli anakuwa kwambiri, nawuza Sauli kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mwandipusitsa? Inu ndinu Sauli!”
Na ɔbaa no hunuu Samuel no, ɔde nne kɛseɛ teaam ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “woadaadaa me! Wone Saulo!”
13 Mfumuyo inamuwuza kuti, “Usaope. Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Mkaziyo anayankha kuti, “Ndikuona mzimu ukutuluka pansi.”
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro. Ɛdeɛbɛn na wohunu?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Mehunu honhom bi sɛ apue afiri fam reba.”
14 Sauli anafunsa, “Kodi mzimuwo ukuoneka motani?” Mkaziyo anayankha kuti, “Amene akutuluka ndi munthu wokalamba ndipo wavala mkanjo.” Apo Sauli anadziwa kuti anali Samueli ndipo anawerama nagunditsa nkhope yake pansi.
Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɔte sɛn?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Akɔkoraa bi a ɔhyɛ batakari, na ɔreba.” Ɛhɔ na Saulo hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Samuel enti, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase de nʼanim butuu fam.
15 Samueli anafunsa Sauli kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wandivutitsa pondiyitana kuti ndibwere kuno?” Sauli anayankha kuti, “Ine ndavutika kwambiri mʼmaloto. Afilisti akumenyana nane, ndipo Mulungu wandifulatira. Iye sakundiyankhulanso, ngakhale kudzera mwa aneneri kapena maloto. Choncho ndakuyitanani kuti mundiwuze zoti ndichite.”
Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wofrɛ me de ha me saa?” Saulo buaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ amene me. Filistifoɔ de ɔko atentam yɛn. Na Onyankopɔn nso agya me. Mente ne nka wɔ adiyifoɔ nkyɛn anaa daeɛso mu. Enti, mafrɛ wo sɛ kyerɛ me deɛ menyɛ.”
16 Samueli anati, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukundifunsa ine, pakuti tsopano Yehova wakufulatira ndipo wasanduka mdani wako?
Na Samuel buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade agya wo, abɛyɛ wo ɔtamfoɔ a, adɛn enti na worebisa me?
17 Yehova wakuchita zimene ananeneratu kudzera mwa ine. Yehova wachotsa ufumu mʼmanja mwako ndipo waupereka kwa mnansi wako, kwa Davide.
Awurade ayɛ deɛ ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Wagye ahennie no afiri wo nsam de ama Dawid a ɔne wo resi akan.
18 Yehova wachita zimenezi lero chifukwa sunamvere mawu ake ndipo sunawawonongeretu Aamaleki.
Awurade ayɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, woanni ne mmara a ɛfa Amalekfoɔ ho no so.
19 Yehova adzapereka ndithu iweyo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli kwa Afilisti. Ndipo mmawa iweyo ndi ana ako mudzakhala ndi ine kuno. Ndithu Yehova adzapereka gulu lankhondo la Aisraeli kwa Afilisti.”
Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, ɔkyena, Awurade de wo ne Israel asraafodɔm nyinaa bɛma Filistifoɔ, na wo ne wo mma abɛka me ho wɔ ha. Awurade bɛma Israel akodɔm no nyinaa adi nkoguo.”
20 Nthawi yomweyo Sauli anagwa pansi atadzazidwa ndi mantha chifukwa cha mawu a Samueli. Analibenso mphamvu, pakuti sanadye tsiku lonse.
Samuel nsɛm a Saulo teeɛ no enti, ehu kyekyeree no ma ɔhwee fam tim. Afei nso, na ɔnni ahoɔden biara, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnnidii da mu no ne anadwo mu no nyinaa.
21 Mkazi uja tsono anasendera kufupi ndi Sauli, ndipo ataona kuti Sauli akuchita mantha, anamuwuza kuti, “Taonani, mdzakazi wanune ndakumverani. Ndayika moyo wanga pa chiswe ndipo ndamvera zimene munandiwuza.
Ɔbaa no hunuu adwenem haw a ɔwɔ mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mede me nkwa too hɔ, yɛɛ wʼabisadeɛ.
22 Tsono inunso mumvere mawu a mdzakazi wanune. Mundilole kuti ndikupatseni ka buledi pangʼono kuti mukhale ndi mphamvu zoyendera pa ulendo wanu.”
Enti, yɛ deɛ mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no, na mama wo biribi adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma woanya ahoɔden, asane akɔ wʼakyi.”
23 Iye anakana ndipo anati, “Ayi, ine sindidya.” Koma nduna zake pamodzi ndi mkaziyo anamuwumiriza, ndipo anawamvera. Choncho anadzuka pansi nakhala pa bedi.
Nanso, Saulo antie. Mmarima a wɔka ne ho no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnnidi. Enti, akyire yi, ɔpenee so sɔre firi fam hɔ, tenaa akonnwa so.
24 Mkaziyo anali ndi mwana wangʼombe wonenepa ndipo anamupha mwachangu. Anatenga ufa nawukanyanga ndipo anaphika buledi wopanda yisiti.
Na ɔbaa no ayɛn nantwie ba ama wadɔre sradeɛ enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔkumm no, na ɔfɔɔ asikyiresiam, fɔtɔeɛ de too apiti.
25 Tsono anapereka bulediyo kwa Sauli ndi nduna zake ndipo anadya. Pambuyo pake ananyamuka kupita kwawo usiku womwewo.
Ɔde aduane no bɛsii Saulo ne ne mmarima no anim, ma wɔdiiɛ. Na wɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ anadwo no.
