1 Samuel 12

1 Samuel nowachone jo-Israel duto niya, “Asewinjo gik moko duto ma usewachona kendo koro asemiyou ruoth.

Pambuyo pake Samueli anawuza Aisraeli onse kuti, “Ine ndamvera zonse zimene munandiwuza ndipo ndakupatsani mfumu kuti izikulamulirani.

2 Koro un kod ruoth kaka jatendu. Anto aseti ma wiya oti lwar, kendo yawuota un-go ka. Asebedo jatendu chakre tin-na nyaka sani.

Tsopano muli ndi mfumu imene izikutsogolerani, koma ine ndakalamba, kumutu kwanga kuli imvi zokhazokha ndipo ana anga ali pamodzi ndi inu. Ndakhala ndili mtsogoleri wanu kuyambira ndili mnyamata mpaka lero.

3 Eri achungʼ ka. Hulieuru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kod ngʼate mowir ketho ma asetimo. Rwadh ngʼa masekawo? Punda ngʼa masekawo? Ngʼatno ma asethiro? Asekawo asoya koa kuom ngʼa mondo odin wangʼa? Ka dipo ni asetimo achiel kuom gigi, to aikora mar loso.”

Ine ndili pano. Ngati ndinalakwa chilichonse nditsutseni pamaso pa Yehova ndi wodzozedwa wake. Kodi ndinalanda ngʼombe ya yani? Kodi ndinalanda bulu wa yani? Kodi ndani amene ndinamudyera masuku pa mutu? Kodi ndinazunza yani? Kodi ndinalandira kwa yani chiphuphu choti nʼkundidetsa mʼmaso? Ngati ndinachita chilichonse cha izi, ine ndidzakubwezerani.”

4 Negidwoko niya, “Pok iwuondowa kata thirowa. Bende pok ikawo gimoro amora moa e lwet ngʼato.”

Iwo anayankha kuti, “Inu simunatidyere masuku pamutu kapena kutizunza. Simunalande kanthu kalikonse ka munthu.”

5 Samuel nowachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye en janeno kuomu, kendo ngʼate mowir bende obedo janeno kawuononi, ni ok useyudo gimoro e lweta.” Negiwacho niya, “Adier, en janeno.”

Samueli anawawuza kuti, “Yehova ndiye mboni pakati pa inu ndi ine, ndiponso wodzozedwa wake ndi mboni kuti lero simunapeze chilichonse mʼdzanja langa.” Iwo anati, “Inde, Yehova ndiye mboni.”

6 Eka Samuel nowachone ji niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ema ne oyiero Musa gi Harun kendo nogolo kwereu koa e piny Misri.

Samueli anawawuzanso kuti, “Yehova ndiye amene anasankha Mose ndi Aaroni kuti atulutse makolo anu mʼdziko la Igupto.

7 Koro sani, chungʼuru ka, mondo anyisu ratiro kendo aparnu e nyim Jehova Nyasaye timbe duto makare mane otimonu kaachiel gi wuoneu.

Nʼchifukwa chake tsopano imani pomwepa kuti ndikufotokozereni pamaso pa Yehova, za ntchito za chipulumutso zimene Yehova anachitira inu ndi makolo anu.

8 “Kane Jakobo odonjo e piny Misri, ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi, kendo Jehova Nyasaye ne ooro Musa gi Harun, mane ogolo kwereu owuok oa Misri mi oketogi kama gidakieni.

“Yakobo atapita ku dziko la Igupto, Aiguptowo akuwazunza, iwo analirira kwa Yehova kuti awathandize, ndipo Yehova anatumiza Mose ndi Aaroni, amene anatulutsa makolo anu mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kudzawakhazika pa malo ano.

9 “To wigi nowil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi; omiyo nojwangʼogi e lwet Sisera, jatend lweny mar Hazor, kendo e lwet jo-Filistia gi ruodh Moab mane okedo kodgi.

“Koma iwo anayiwala Yehova Mulungu wawo, choncho Yehova anawapereka mʼdzanja la Sisera mkulu wa ankhondo wa mzinda wa Hazori, ndiponso mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi mfumu ya Mowabu. Mafumu onsewa anathira nkhondo makolo anu.

10 Ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye kagiwacho niya, ‘Wasetimo richo, waseweyo Jehova Nyasaye mi watiyo ne nyiseche mag Baal gi Ashtoreth. To koro sani reswa e lwet wasikwa mi wanatini.’

Tsono iwo analira kwa Yehova nati, ‘Ife tachimwa, chifukwa tamusiya Yehova ndi kumatumikira mafano a Baala ndi Asiteroti. Koma tsopano tilanditseni mʼmanja mwa adani athu ndipo tidzakutumikirani.’

11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne ooro Jerub-Baal (ma bende iluongo ni Gideon), Barak (ma bende iluongo ni Bedan), Jeftha gi Samuel, kendo ne oresou kuom wasiku mane omonjou koa koni gi koni, momiyo udak gi kwe.

Choncho Yehova anatumiza Yeru-Baala, Bedani, Yefita ndi Samueli ndipo anakulanditsani mʼmanja mwa adani anu amene anakuzungulirani, kotero munakhala mwamtendere.

12 “To kane uneno ka Nahash ruodh jo-Amon dwaro monjou, ne uwachona ni, ‘Nyaka wabed gi ruoth ma ritowa,’ kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ne en ruodhu.

“Koma mutaona kuti Nahasi mfumu ya Amoni inkabwera kudzamenyana nanu, inu munandiwuza kuti, ‘Ayi, ife tikufuna mfumu kuti itilamulire,’ ngakhale kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye anali mfumu yanu.

13 Koro neuru ma e ruoth ma useyiero, mane ukwayo; omiyo Jehova Nyasaye oseketo ruoth mondo oritu.

Tsopano nayi mfumu imene mwayisankha, imene munayipempha. Onani, Yehova wakupatsani mfumu.

14 Ka umiyo Jehova Nyasaye luor kendo kutiyone, ka uwinjo chikne kendo ok ungʼanyone chikene, un kaachiel gi ruodhu ma ritou mi uluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, to mano ber.

Ngati muziopa Yehova ndi kumamutumikira ndi kumamumvera, osamupandukira ndiponso ngati inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mudzatsata Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndiye zinthu zonse zidzakuyenderani bwino.

15 To ka utamoru winjo Jehova Nyasaye, mi ungʼanyone chikene, to enokumu kaka ne okumo kwereu.

Koma mukapanda kumvera Yehova ndi kumupandukira, ndiye adzakulangani pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu yomwe.

16 “Koro sani chungʼuru kar tiendu mondo une hono maduongʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye timo mana ka uneno!

“Tsono imani pomwepa kuti muone chinthu chachikulu chimene Yehova ali pafupi kuchita pamaso panu!

17 Donge sani en ndalo mikayoe ngano? Abiro luongo Jehova Nyasaye mondo okel polo mamor gi koth. Eka ubiro ngʼeyo ni usetimo marach e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kuom kwayou mane upenjogo ruoth.”

Kodi ino si nthawi yokolola tirigu? Komabe ndipemphera kwa Yehova kuti agwetse mvula ya mabingu. Zikatero mudzadziwa kuti tchimo lanu limene mwachita popempha mfumu kwa Yehova ndi lalikulu.”

18 Eka Samuel noluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo mana gi odiechiengʼno Jehova Nyasaye nokelo mor polo gi koth. Omiyo ji duto nochungʼ ka luoro omakogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kod Samuel.

Choncho Samueli anapemphera, ndipo Yehova anatumiza mvula ya mabingu tsiku lomwelo. Apo anthu aja anaopa kwambiri Yehova ndi Samueli.

19 Eka ji duto nowachone Samuel niya, “Lam Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ni jotichni mondo kik watho, nimar wasemedo ewi richowa mamoko tim marach mar kwayo mondo miwa ruoth.”

Tsono anamupempha Samueli nati, “Chonde mutipempherere kwa Yehova, ife atumiki kuti tingafe pakuti pa machimo athu onse tawonjezapo tchimo lopempha mfumu.”

20 Samuel nodwokogi niya, “Kik ubed maluor. Kata obedo ni usetimo tim marachni, koro kik ulokru uwe Jehova Nyasaye, to tineuru gi chunyu duto.

Samueli anayankha kuti, “Musaope, inu mwachitadi tchimo ili, koma musaleke kumutsata Yehova ndi kumutumikira ndi mtima wanu wonse.

21 Kik ulokru uluw nyiseche manono. Ok ginyal konyou, bende ok ginyal resou nikech gin gik manono.

Ndipo musatsate mafano achabechabe amene alibe phindu ndipo sangakupulumutseni popeza ndi achabechabe.

22 Nikech nyinge maduongʼ, Jehova Nyasaye ok nojwangʼ joge, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne mor mar timou joge owuon.

Yehova adzakana anthu ake kuopa kuti dzina lake lamphamvu linganyozeke, pakuti chinamukondweretsa Yehova kuti akusandutseni inu kukhala anthu ake.

23 Kata kamano, anto ok anyal ketho ni Jehova Nyasaye kuom weyo ma ok alemonu. To abiro puonjou yo maber kendo makare.

Ndiponso kunena za ine, zisachitike kuti ndichimwire Yehova pakulephera kukupemphererani. Ndipo ine ndidzakuphunzitsani njira yabwino ndi yolungama kuti muziyendamo.

24 Un to nyaka une ni uluoru Jehova Nyasaye, kendo utine gi adieri gi chunyu duto; parieuru gigo madongo mosetimonu.

Koma onetsetsani kuti mukuopa Yehova ndi kumutumikira mokhulupirika ndi mtima wanu wonse. Nthawi zonse muziganizira zinthu zazikulu wakhala akukuchitirani.

25 To ka usiko ka utimo marach, to un kaachiel gi ruodhu ibiro tieku.”

Komabe mukapitirira kuchita zoyipa, ndiye kuti inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mudzachotsedwa.”
