1 Benjamin hlang kah a capa Aphiah, Aphiah capa Bekorath, Bekorath capa Zeror, Zeror capa Abiel, Abiel capa, a ming ah Kish tah Benjamin khuiah Benjamin tongpa, tatthai hlangrhalh la om.
Kwakukhona-ke indoda yakoBhenjamini obizo layo linguKishi, indodana kaAbiyeli, indodana kaZerori, indodana kaBekorathi, indodana kaAfiya, umBhenjamini, iqhawe elilamandla.
2 Anih taengah capa pakhat tongpang then, a ming ah Saul te om. Anih lakah a suisak aka then he Israel ca rhoek khuiah hlang a om moenih. Pilnam tom lakah anih kah a laengpang te tah a sola sang ngai.
Njalo yayilendodana, obizo layo lalinguSawuli, ijaha elihle; kwakungelamuntu omuhle kulalo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli; kusukela emahlombe alo kusiya phezulu lalilide kulabo bonke abantu.
3 Saul napa Kish kah laak rhoek a hma pah hatah Kish loh a capa Saul taengah, “Cadong rhoek khuiah pakhat te namah taengla khuen laeh. Te phoeiah thoo lamtah laak rhoek te tlap hamla ha cet laeh,” a ti nah.
Obabhemikazi bakaKishi, uyise kaSawuli, balahleka-ke. Ngakho uKishi wathi kuSawuli indodana yakhe: Ake uthathe enye yezinceku lawe, usukume uhambe uyedinga obabhemikazi.
4 Te dongah Ephraim tlang te a paan tih Shalisha kho khaw a lan dae hmu rhoi pawh. Te phoeiah Shaalim kho la cet rhoi dae a om pawt dongah Benjamin kho te a lan rhoi akhaw hmu rhoi pawh.
Wasedabula intaba zakoEfrayimi, wadabula ilizwe leShalisha, kodwa kababatholanga. Basebedabula ilizwe leShalima, kodwa babengekho. Basebedabula ilizwe lakoBhenjamini, kodwa kababatholanga.
5 Zuph kho te a pha rhoi vaengah Saul loh a taengkah cadong te, “Ceh, bal pawn sih, a pa loh laak te toeng vetih mamih rhoi ham mawn ve,” a ti nah.
Bona sebefikile elizweni leZufi, uSawuli wathi encekwini yakhe eyayilaye: Woza sibuyele, hlezi ubaba ayekele obabhemikazi abesenqinekela thina.
6 Tedae cadong loh Saul te, “Hekah kho ah Pathen kah hlang om, teka hlang loh a thui boeih tah thoeng rhoela thoeng tih hlang loh a oep. Pahoi cet pawn sih lamtah mah rhoi taengah caeh long khaw a thui khaming,” a ti nah.
Yasisithi kuye: Khangela-ke, kulomuntu kaNkulunkulu kulumuzi, ungumuntu ohloniphekayo; konke akutshoyo kuyenzeka sibili. Khathesi asiye khona; mhlawumbe angasitshela indlela esizahamba ngayo.
7 Te dongah Saul loh a tueihyoeih taengah, “Tahae ah tarha n'cet cakhaw tekah hlang taengah balae ng'khuen eh? Mah rhoi kah hnocun khui lamkah caak khaw n'khawk. Kutdoe khuen mueh lamtah Pathen hlang taengah mamih rhoi balae n'loh eh?,” a ti nah.
USawuli wasesithi encekwini yakhe: Kodwa khangela, uba sisiya, sizamphathelani lowomuntu? Ngoba isinkwa kasisekho ezitsheni zethu; futhi kakulasipho sokusa emuntwini kaNkulunkulu. Silani?
8 Tueihyoeih loh Saul te a rhaep la a doo tih, “Ka kut dongah cak shekel tamat om ta he. Pathen hlang te ka paek vetih mamih rhoi kah longpuei khaw mah rhoi taengah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
Inceku yasibuya yamphendula uSawuli yathi: Khangela, kutholakala esandleni sami ingxenye yesine yeshekeli lesiliva; ngizamnika yona lowomuntu kaNkulunkulu ukuze asitshele indlela yethu.
9 Hlamat vaengah Israel khuikah hlang te Pathen dawt ham a caeh atah, “Halo lamtah kho aka hmu taengla cet lah sih,” a ti uh. Te dongah tihnin tonghma he hlamat vaengah tah khohmu ni a. ti uh.
(Endulo koIsrayeli lapho umuntu esiyabuza kuNkulunkulu, wayesitsho kanje: Woza siye kumboni; ngoba lo ongumprofethi lamuhla kuqala wayebizwa ngokuthi ngumboni.)
10 Te dongah Saul loh a taengca taengah, “Nang ol te then, halo lamtah cet pawn sih,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Pathen hlang kah khopuei la cet rhoi.
USawuli wasesithi encekwini yakhe: Lihle ilizwi lakho; woza sihambe. Basebesiya emzini lapho okwakukhona lowomuntu kaNkulunkulu.
11 Khopuei kham ah a yoeng rhoi vaengah tui than la aka lo hula rhoek te a hmuh rhoi tih amih te, “He ah he khohmu om a,” a ti nah.
Besenyuka ngomqanso womuzi, bona bafica amantombazana ephuma ukuyakukha amanzi, bathi kuwo: Umboni ulapha yini?
12 Te vaengah amih rhoi te a doo uh tih, “Na hmai ah om ta ke, tihnin he hmuensang ah pilnam ham hmueih hnin la a om dongah khopuei la ha pawk te a loe la cet rhoi.
Asebaphendula athi: Ukhona; khangelani, uphambi kwenu. Phangisani khathesi; ngoba ufike lamuhla emzini, ngoba abantu balomhlatshelo lamuhla endaweni ephakemeyo.
13 Buh ca la hmuensang ah a caeh hlanah khopuei la na kun rhoi atah anih te na hmuh bitni. Anih a pawk hlan khuiah tah pilnam long khaw ca hlan ni. Hmueih te anih loh yoethen a paek daengah ni a khue rhoek loh a caak uh. Te dongah tahae rhoe ah anih taengla cet rhoi lamtah amah te tlek na hmuh rhoi bitni,” a ti na uh.
Ekungeneni kwenu emzini, lizahle limthole engakenyukeli endaweni ephakemeyo ukuyakudla; ngoba abantu kabayikudla aze afike, ngoba nguye obusisa umhlatshelo, emva kwalokho abanxusiweyo badle. Ngakho-ke yenyukani, ngoba yena, phose ngalesisikhathi, lizamthola.
14 Te dongah khopuei te a paan rhoi tih kho lung la a pha rhoi vaengah tah hmuensang la aka cet Samuel te amih rhoi aka doe la tarha ha pawk.
Basebesenyukela emzini; besangena phakathi komuzi, khangela, uSamuweli waphuma ukubahlangabeza ukwenyukela endaweni ephakemeyo.
15 Saul a pha hlan kah hnin at vaengah Samuel hna te BOEIPA loh a hnacueh pah coeng tih,
INkosi yasibonakalisa endlebeni kaSamuweli ngosuku phambi kokufika kukaSawuli, isithi:
16 “Thangvuen he vaeng tue ah Benjamin kho lamkah hlang pakhat te nang taengla kan tueih ni. Te vaengah anih te ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la koelh lamtah ka pilnam te Philisti kut lamloh khang saeh. Ka pilnam kah a pangngawlnah loh kai taengla ham pha te ka hmuh dam coeng,” a ti nah.
Kusasa phose ngalesisikhathi ngizathuma kuwe umuntu ovela elizweni lakoBhenjamini; futhi umgcobe abe ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli, ukuze asindise abantu bami esandleni samaFilisti, ngoba ngibonile abantu bami, ngoba ukukhala kwabo kufikile kimi.
17 Samuel loh Saul a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Kai pilnam soah taemrhai saeh,” tila nang taengah ka thui hlang te anih la he,” a ti nah.
Kwathi uSamuweli ebona uSawuli, iNkosi yamphendula: Khangela, umuntu ebengikhuluma ngaye kuwe. Lo uzabusa phezu kwabantu bami.
18 Saul tah vongka khui ah Samuel taengla thoeih tih, “Khohmu im te melae kai taengah han thui lah,” a ti nah.
USawuli wasesondela kuSamuweli phakathi kwesango wathi: Akungitshele, ingaphi lapha indlu yomboni?
19 Saul te Samuel loh a doo tih, “Kai la khohmu loel, kai hmaiah cet lamtah tihnin ah hmuensang ah kamah neh buh hmaih ca sih. Mincang ah kan tueih vetih na thinko ah aka om boeih te nang taengah kan thui bitni.
USamuweli wasemphendula uSawuli wathi: Yimi umboni; yenyuka phambi kwami uye endaweni ephakemeyo, ngoba lamuhla uzakudla lami; lekuseni ngizakuyekela uhambe, ngikutshele konke okusenhliziyweni yakho.
20 Laak rhoek te khaw namah taeng lamkah loh khohnin hnin thum hma coeng dae na hmuh la om coeng dongah te na lungbuei ah mawn sak boeh. Israel pum kah a sahnaih te ulae? Nang taeng neh na capa imkhui boeih taengah moenih a?,” a ti nah.
Lamayelana labobabhemikazi bakho asebelensuku ezintathu belahlekile, ungafaki inhliziyo yakho kubo, ngoba sebetholiwe. Kodwa zikubani iziloyiso zonke zikaIsrayeli? Kazikho kuwe yini lendlini yonke kayihlo?
21 Saul loh a doo tih, “Kai Benjamin ca he, Israel koca khuiah capoeih moenih a? Kamah huiko he khaw, Benjamin koca boeih khuiah a poeih ni. Balae tih hebang ol he kai taengah na thui,” a ti nah.
USawuli wasephendula wathi: Kangisuye umBhenjamini yini, owesincinyane sezizwe zakoIsrayeli, losendo lwethu luncinyane kulazo zonke insendo zesizwe sakoBhenjamini? Pho-ke, ukhulumelani kimi ngalindlela?
22 Samuel loh Saul neh a taengca te a khuen tih imkhui la a kun puei. Tedae a khue hlang sawmthum tluk kah a lu ah amih rhoi te hmuen a paek.
USamuweli wasethatha uSawuli lenceku yakhe, wabangenisa ekamelweni lokudlela, wabahlalisa endaweni engaphezulu yabanxusiweyo, ababengaphose babe ngamatshumi amathathu.
23 Te phoeiah Samuel loh imtawt taengah, “Nang taengah, 'Khueh dae,’ kan ti nah tih, “Namah kam paek maehvae te hang khuen,” a ti nah.
USamuweli wasesithi kumpheki: Letha isabelo engikunike sona, engithe kuwe ngaso: Sibeke ngakuwe.
24 Te dongah imtawt loh maeh laeng te a pom tih Saul hmai ah a tloeng pah. Te phoeiah, “Nang hmai ah tloeng ham a paih coeng ca laeh. ‘Khoning vaengkah la nang ham kael pah,’ tila ka khue pilnam khaw ka ti nah,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah khohnin ah tah Saul te Samuel taengah buh a caak.
Umpheki wasephakamisa umlenze lokwakuphezu kwawo, wakubeka phambi kukaSawuli. USamuweli wasesithi: Khangela, okuseleyo; kubeke phambi kwakho, dlana; ngoba bekubekelwe wena kuze kufike lesisikhathi esimisiweyo, njengoba ngitshilo: Nginxuse abantu. USawuli wasesidla loSamuweli ngalolosuku.
25 Hmuensang lamloh khopuei la ha suntlak phoeiah imphu ah Saul neh a cal puei.
Sebehlile endaweni ephakemeyo baya emzini, wakhuluma loSawuli ephahleni.
26 Mincang a pha tom vaengah thoo rhoi tih Samuel loh Saul te imphu, imphu lamloh a khue. Te vaengah, “Thoo lamtah nang te kan tueih pawn eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Saul te thoo tih amamih rhoi khaw, Samuel khaw kawtpoeng la cet uh.
Basebevuka ngovivi; kwasekusithi phose emadabukakusa, uSamuweli wambiza uSawuli ephahleni esithi: Sukuma ukuze ngikuyekele uhambe. Wasesukuma uSawuli, baphuma bobabili, yena loSamuweli, baya phandle.
27 Amih te khopuei a bawt la suntla uh tih, Samuel loh Saul taengah, “Na taengca te thui pah lamtah mamih rhoi hmai ah caeh sak. Tedae anih te cet mai cakhaw namah tah hnin at om mai dae. Te vaengah Pathen ol te nang taengah kan yaak sak eh,” a ti nah.
Sebesehlela ekucineni komuzi, uSamuweli wathi kuSawuli: Tshela inceku ukuthi yedlule phambi kwethu (yasisedlula), kodwa wena mana okwakhathesi, ukuthi ngikuzwise ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
