Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Mimi ndiye ambaye Bwana alinituma nikutie mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya watu wake Israeli, basi sasa sikiliza ujumbe kutoka kwa Bwana.

Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote asemalo: ‘Nitawaadhibu Waamaleki kwa kile walichowatendea Israeli walipowavizia wakati walipanda kutoka Misri.

Basi sasa nenda ukawashambulie Waamaleki na kuwaangamiza kabisa pamoja na kila kitu kilicho mali yao. Usiwahurumie; waue wanaume na wanawake, watoto na wanyonyao, ngʼombe na kondoo, ngamia na punda.’”
4 Te dongah pilnam te Saul loh a yaak sak tih amih te rhalkap thawng yahnih neh Judah hlang thawng rha la Telaim ah a soep.
Ndipo Sauli akawaita watu na kuwapanga huko Telaimu, askari wa miguu 200,000 pamoja na watu 10,000 kutoka Yuda.
5 Saul tah Amalek khopuei la cet tih, soklong ah a rhongngol thil.
Sauli akaenda katika mji wa Amaleki na kuwavizia bondeni.

Kisha akawaambia Wakeni, “Ondokeni, waacheni Waamaleki ili nisije nikawaangamiza ninyi pamoja nao, kwa kuwa ninyi mliwatendea mema Waisraeli wote wakati walipanda kutoka Misri.” Basi Wakeni wakaondoka, wakawaacha Waamaleki.
7 Te phoeiah Havilah lamkah Egypt imdan Shur la aka pha Amalek te Saul loh a tloek.
Ndipo Sauli akawashambulia Waamaleki toka Havila mpaka Shuri, hadi mashariki ya Misri.

Lakini Sauli na hilo jeshi wakamhifadhi hai Agagi na kondoo na ngʼombe walio wazuri, mafahali na wana-kondoo walionona kila kitu kilichokuwa kizuri. Hivi vitu hawakuwa radhi kuviangamiza kabisa, bali kila kitu kilichodharauliwa na kilicho dhaifu wakakiangamiza kabisa.
10 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol loh Samuel taengla thoeng tih,
Kisha neno la Bwana likamjia Samweli kusema:
11 “Saul manghai la ka manghai sak he damti coeng. Kai taeng lamloh hnukpoh tih ka ol a thoh puei moenih,” a ti nah. Samuel taengah a sai dongah khoyin puet BOEIPA taengah pang.
“Ninasikitika kwamba nimemfanya Sauli kuwa mfalme, kwa sababu ameacha kunifuata mimi na hakutimiza maagizo yangu.” Samweli akafadhaika, naye akamlilia Bwana usiku ule wote.
12 Saul doe ham te mincang ah Samuel thoo coeng. Tedae Samuel te a voek tih, “Saul te Karmel la pawk tih a kut a thoh lahko, te phoeiah tinghil tih aka khum te Gilgal la suntla lahko,'' a ti nah.
Asubuhi na mapema Samweli akaamka kwenda kukutana na Sauli, lakini akaambiwa, “Sauli amekwenda Karmeli. Huko amesimamisha mnara kwa heshima yake mwenyewe naye ameendelea na kuteremkia Gilgali.”
13 Samuel te Saul taeng a pha vaengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA rhang neh na yoethen coeng, BOEIPA ol te ka thoh puei ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
Samweli alipomfikia, Sauli akamwambia, “Bwana akubariki! Nimetimiza yale Bwana aliniagiza.”
14 Tedae Samuel loh, “Ka hna dongkah tu ol he ta? Saelhung kah a ol khaw ka yaak,” a ti nah.
Lakini Samweli akasema, “Nini basi huu mlio wa kondoo masikioni mwangu? Huu mlio wa ngʼombe ninaousikia ni kitu gani?”
15 Te vaengah Saul loh, “Amalek taeng lamkah boiva then neh saelhung te pilnam loh a hnaih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah nawn hamla hang khuen uh, tih a hoeikhang te tah ka thup uh,” a ti nah.
Sauli akajibu, “Askari wamewaleta kutoka kwa Waamaleki, waliwaacha wale kondoo na ngʼombe wazuri ili kuwatoa dhabihu kwa Bwana, Mungu wako, lakini tuliwaangamiza kabisa wengine wote.”
16 Tedae Samuel loh Saul te, “Duem lamtah khoyin ah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui te nang taengah kan thui eh?,” a ti nah hatah, “Thui lah,” a ti nah.
Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Ngoja! Nami nitakuambia lile Bwana aliloniambia usiku huu.” Sauli akajibu, “Niambie.”
17 Samuel loh, “Na mikhmuh ah na noe cakhaw, nang he Israel koca kah a lu neh Israel manghai la BOEIPA loh nang ng'koelh moenih a?
Samweli akamwambia, “Ingawa zamani ulijiona mdogo machoni pako mwenyewe, Je, hukuwa kiongozi wa kabila za Israeli? Bwana alikutia mafuta kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli.
18 Nang he longpuei la BOEIPA loh n'tueih vaengah, “Cet lamtah Amalek hlangtholh rhoek te thup laeh, amih te boeih a thok duela vathoh thil,” a ti.
Naye akakutuma kwa kazi maalum, akisema, ‘Nenda ukaangamize kabisa wale watu waovu, wale Waamaleki, upigane nao vita mpaka utakapowaangamiza kabisa.’
19 Tedae balae tih BOEIPA ol na yaak pawh? Kutbuem dongah na cu tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii,” a ti nah.
Kwa nini hukumtii Bwana? Kwa nini ulivamia nyara na kufanya uovu machoni pa Bwana?”
20 Samuel taengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA ol te ka hnatun tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih vanbangla, longpuei ah ka cet. Te dongah Amalek manghai Agag te kang khuen tih Amalek te ka thup.
Sauli akasema, “Lakini nilimtii Bwana. Nilikamilisha ile kazi ambayo Bwana alinituma. Niliwaangamiza Waamaleki kabisa na kumleta Agagi mfalme wao.
21 Tedae kutbuem khui lamloh boiva neh saelhung then tah Gilgal kah na Pathen BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla pilnam loh yaehtaboeih la a loh,” a ti nah.
Askari walichukua kondoo na ngʼombe kutoka kwenye nyara, zile ambazo ni nzuri sana zimewekwa wakfu kwa Mungu, ili zitolewe dhabihu kwa Bwana Mungu wako huko Gilgali.”
22 Te dongah Samuel loh, “Hmueihhlutnah he BOEIPA ol hnatun bangla hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih dongah BOEIPA te hmae a? Olngai he hmueih lakah, hnatung ham he tutal kah a tha lakah then ngai.
Lakini Samweli akajibu: “Je, Bwana anafurahia sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu kama vile kuitii sauti ya Bwana? Kutii ni bora zaidi kuliko dhabihu, nako kusikia ni bora kuliko mafuta ya kondoo dume.
23 Boekoek bihma kah tholhnah, boethae neh sithui dongah na mangkhak tih BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah namah te manghai lamloh n'hnawt van coeng,” a ti nah.
Kwa maana kuasi ni kama dhambi ya uaguzi, nao ukaidi ni kama uovu wa kuabudu sanamu. Kwa sababu umelikataa neno la Bwana, naye amekukataa wewe kuendelea kuwa mfalme.”
24 Te daengah Saul loh Samuel taengah, “Pilnam ka rhih hulah BOEIPA olpaek neh nang ol ka poe tih amih ol ka hnatun tholh coeng.
Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Samweli, “Nimetenda dhambi. Nimevunja amri ya Bwana na maagizo yako. Niliwaogopa watu na kwa hiyo nikafanya walivyotaka.
25 Tedae tahae ah ka tholh he ng'rhen mai laeh. Kai taengah ha bal mai lamtah BOEIPA taengah tho ka thueng mai eh,” a ti nah.
Sasa ninakusihi usamehe dhambi yangu, nawe urudi pamoja nami, ili nipate kumwabudu Bwana.”
26 Tedae Saul te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah nang taengla ka mael mahpawh. Israel soah manghai la na om te BOEIPA loh nang n'hnawt coeng,” a ti nah.
Lakini Samweli akamwambia, “Sitarudi pamoja nawe. Umelikataa neno la Bwana, naye Bwana amekukataa wewe, usiendelee kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli!”
27 Samuel te caeh ham a hooi uh vaengah a hnikul hmoi te a doek pah tih a phen pah.
Samweli alipogeuka ili aondoke, Sauli akangʼangʼania pindo la joho lake, nalo likararuka.
28 Te vaengah anih te Samuel loh, “Israel ram he tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang taeng lamkah a phen tih nang lakah aka then na hui taengla a paek coeng.
Samweli akamwambia, “Bwana ameurarua ufalme wa Israeli kutoka kwako leo, naye ameutia kwa mmoja wa majirani zako, aliye bora kuliko wewe.
29 Israel kah yoeyah Pathen he rhi a lat moenih. A hal ham khaw anih tah hlang mailai pawt dongah a hal moenih,” a ti nah.
Yeye aliye Utukufu wa Israeli hasemi uongo wala hana kigeugeu; kwa kuwa yeye si mwanadamu, hata abadili nia yake.”
30 Saul loh, “Ka tholh dae ka pilnam kah a hamca rhoek hmai neh Israel hmai ah kai he n'thangpom mai lamtah kai taengla ha mael mai. BOEIPA na Pathen te ka bawk tangloeng pawn eh,” a ti nah.
Sauli akajibu, “Nimetenda dhambi. Lakini tafadhali niheshimu mbele ya wazee wa watu wangu na mbele ya Israeli; rudi pamoja nami, ili nipate kumwabudu Bwana Mungu wako.”
31 Te dongah Samuel te Saul hnukla bal tih Saul loh BOEIPA te a bawk.
Hivyo Samweli akarudi pamoja na Sauli, naye Sauli akamwabudu Bwana.
32 Te vaengah Samuel loh, “Amalek manghai Agag te kai taengla han khuen,” a ti nah. Te dongah Agag te anih taengah phatphat cet. Te vaengah Agag loh, “Dueknah khahing he khum taktak coeng,” a ti.
Ndipo Samweli akasema, “Niletee Agagi mfalme wa Waamaleki.” Agagi akaja kwake kwa ujasiri, akifikiri, “Hakika uchungu wa mauti umepita.”
33 Samuel loh, “Na cunghang loh huta rhoek a cakol sak vanbangla na nu kah tanu te cakol la om van saeh,” a ti nah tih Gilgal kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Samuel loh Agag te a petpet a sah.
Lakini Samweli akasema, “Kama upanga wako ulivyofanya wanawake kufiwa na watoto wao, ndivyo mama yako atakavyokuwa hana mtoto miongoni mwa wanawake.” Naye Samweli akamuua Agagi mbele za Bwana huko Gilgali.
34 Samuel te Ramah la cet tih Saul te Gibeah kah amah im la cet.
Kisha Samweli akaenda Rama, lakini Sauli akapanda nyumbani kwake huko Gibea ya Sauli.
35 Te lamkah longtah Saul sawt ham te Samuel loh a dueknah hnin duela thoelh voel pawh. Tedae Saul ham te Samuel nguekcoi tih Israel soah Saul a manghai sak te BOEIPA khaw damti coeng.
Hadi siku Samweli alipofariki hakwenda kumwona Sauli tena, ingawa Samweli alimwombolezea. Naye Bwana alihuzunika kwamba alimfanya Sauli kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli.
