1 Samuel 9
1 Ne nitie ja-Benjamin moro mongʼere ma nyinge Kish wuod Abiel, ma wuod Zeror, ma wuod Bekorath, ma wuod Afia ma ja-Benjamin.
Waaliwo omusajja Omubenyamini eyali omututumufu erinnya lye Kiisi, mutabani wa Abiyeeri, mutabani wa Zeroli, mutabani wa Bekolaasi, mutabani wa Afiya, Omubenyamini.
2 Ne en gi wuowi miluongo ni Saulo, ne en rawera ma jaber e kind jo-Israel bende ne en rabora ma ji moko ne rem mana e goke.
Yalina mutabani we erinnya lye Sawulo, nga mulenzi alabika bulungi, era nga tewali amwenkana obulungi mu bantu ba Isirayiri, nga muwanvu okusinga abantu bonna.
3 Chiengʼ moro punde mag Kish wuon Saulo nolal kendo Kish nowachone wuode ma Saulo niya, “Kaw achiel kuom jotich mondo udhigo udwar punde.”
Endogoyi za Kiisi, kitaawe wa Sawulo zaali zibuze. Kiisi n’agamba mutabani we Sawulo nti, “Twala omu ku baweereza, mugende munoonye endogoyi.”
4 Omiyo nokadho e piny got mar Efraim kod alwora mar Shalisha, to ok ne giyudogi. Negidhiyo ma gichopo e gwenge mag Shaalim, to punde ne onge kuondego. Eka nokadho e piny Benjamin, to ne ok giyudogi.
Ne bayitira mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu ne mu nsi ya Salisa, naye ne bataziraba. Ne bayita ne mu nsi ya Saalimu naye ne bataziraba. Ne bayita ne mu nsi ye Benyamini, naye ne zibabula.
5 Kane gichopo e gwenge mag Zuf, Saulo nowachone jatich mane ni kode niya, “Bi wadogi, dipo ka wuora oweyo paro punde kendo mochako mana parowa.”
Awo bwe baatuuka mu nsi ya Zufu, Sawulo n’agamba omuweereza eyali naye nti, “Jjangu tuddeyo, sikuba nga kitange ava ku b’endogoyi, n’atandika okweraliikirira ffe.”
6 To jatich nodwoke kawachone niya, “Iwinjo, e dalano nitiere ngʼat Nyasaye moro marahuma kendo gik mowacho duto timore mana kaka owacho. Bi wadhi ire koro nikech onyalo nyisowa yo monego waluw.”
Naye omuweereza n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, mu kibuga muno mulimu omusajja wa Katonda, era assibwamu nnyo ekitiibwa, na buli ky’ayogera kituukirira. Tugendeyo, oboolyawo anaayinza okututegeeza ekkubo lye tuba tukwata.”
7 Saulo nowachone jatich niya, “To ka wadhi, en angʼo ma wabiro miyo ngʼatni? Chiemo mane ni e mifukewa oserumo. Waonge kod mich ma wanyalo tero ne ngʼat Nyasaye. En angʼo ma wan-go?”
Sawulo n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Naye bwe tugendayo, omusajja tunaamutwalira ki? Emmere eweddemu mu nsawo zaffe, ate tewali na kirabo kya kutwalira musajja wa Katonda. Tulinawo ki?”
8 Jatich nowachone kendo niya, “An-gi pesa moko manok. Abiro miye ngʼat Nyasaye mondo onyiswa yo monego waluw.”
Omuweereza n’addamu Sawulo nti, “Laba, wano nninawo gulaamu ssatu eza ffeeza, era ze nzija okuwa omusajja wa Katonda atutegeeze ekkubo lye tuba tukwata.”
9 Chon e piny Israel kane ngʼato dhi penjo Nyasaye wach ne owacho niya, “Bi wadhi ka Janen,” nikech ngʼat miluongo ni janabi ndaloni ne iluongo ni janen.
(Edda mu Isirayiri, omuntu bwe yagendanga okwebuuza ku Katonda, yayogeranga nti, “Jjangu tugende ew’omulabi;” kubanga ayitibwa nnabbi mu nnaku zino, edda ye yayitibwanga omulabi).
10 Saulo nowachone jatich niya, “Mano ber, bi wadhi.” Omiyo negiwuok ma gidhi e dala kama ngʼat Nyasaye nodakie.
Sawulo n’amuddamu nti, “Oteesezza bulungi, jjangu tugende.” Ne basitula okugenda mu kibuga omusajja wa Katonda gye yali.
11 Kane giidho got matin-no ka gichomo dalano negiromo gi nyiri moko kadhi umbo pi kendo ne gipenjogi niya, “Bende ngʼat makoro nika?”
Awo bwe baali nga balinnyalinnya akasozi okugenda mu kibuga ne basisinkana abawala abaali bagenda okusena amazzi, ne bababuuza nti, “Omulabi gy’ali?”
12 To negidwoko niya, “Ee entie, ero odhi nyimu kanyo, returu. Koro eka odonjo e dalawa kawuono nimar jowa timo misango e kama owal.”
Ne babaddamu nti, “Gy’ali. Ali mu maaso awo. Mwanguweeko, yaakatuuka kati mu kibuga, kubanga leero abantu balina ssaddaaka ey’okuweerayo mu kifo ekigulumivu.
13 E sa ma usedonjo e dala to ubiro yudo kapok oidho odhi malo kama owal mondo ochiem. Ji ok bi chako chiemo nyaka ochopi, nikech nyaka ogwedh gir timo misango eka bangʼe jomo oluongi nyalo chiemo. Returu mapiyo sani ema unyalo yude.
Bwe munaaba nga mwakayingira mu kibuga, mujja kumusisinkana nga tannayambuka kuliira mu kifo ekigulumivu. Abantu tebajja kulya nga tannatuuka, kubanga alina okusabira ssaddaaka omukisa n’oluvannyuma abayitiddwa balyoke balye. Kaakano mwanguwe mugende, mujja kumusisinkana.”
14 Ne giwuotho mi gidhi nyaka dala, to kane gidonjo kanyo to negineno Samuel, kabiro gwenyore kodgi kochiko kama owal.
Awo ne bayambuka okugenda mu kibuga. Bwe baali bakiyingira ne balaba Samwiri ng’ajja gye bali, ng’ayolekedde ekifo ekigulumivu.
15 To chiengʼ motelone biro mar Saulo, noyudo ka Jehova Nyasaye osefwenyo ma ne Samuel.
Kyokka bwe waali wakyabulayo olunaku lumu Sawulo ajje, Mukama yali abikkulidde Samwiri ekigambo ng’agamba nti,
16 “Kiny kar sa ma kama abiro oro ngʼato moa e piny Benjamin. Wire mondo otel ne joga ma jo-Israel, enores joga e lwet jo-Filistia. Asekecho joga nimar ywakgi osechopona.”
“Enkya ku ssaawa nga zino nzija kukusindikira omusajja okuva mu nsi ya Benyamini. Mufukeeko amafuta okuba omukulembeze w’abantu bange, Isirayiri; oyo y’alirokola abantu bange okuva mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti. Ntunuulidde abantu bange; okukaaba kwabwe kutuuse gye ndi.”
17 Kane Samuel ogoyo wangʼe kuom Saulo, Jehova Nyasaye ne owachone niya, “Ma e ngʼat mane awuoyoni kuome nibiro rito ogandana.”
Awo Samwiri olwalengera Sawulo, Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Omusajja gwe nakutegeezezzaako wuuyo. Oyo y’ajja okufuga abantu bange.”
18 Saulo nodhi ir Samuel e dhorangach mopenje niya, “Kiyie to nyisa od janen?”
Sawulo n’asemberera Samwiri mu mulyango, n’amubuuza nti, “Ssebo oyinza okundagirira ennyumba y’omulabi w’eri?”
19 Samuel nodwoke niya, “An e janen. Tel nyima idhi kama owal maler nimar kawuono ibiro chiemo koda kendo kiny gokinyi abiro weyi idhi kendo ananyisi mago duto man e chunyi.
Samwiri n’amuddamu nti, “Nze mulabi, nkulemberaamu nga twambuka mu kifo ekigulumivu, kubanga leero onooliira wamu nange, enkya ku makya nzija kukuleka ogende era nzija kukubuulira ebyo byonna ebiri ku mutima gwo.
20 Kor ka wach punde mane olal ndalo adek mokadho to owe chandi nimar oseyudgi. Koso en ngʼa ma chuny jo-Israel duto dwaro ka ok en in gi od wuonu?”
Naye ebifa ku ndogoyi zo ezimaze ennaku essatu nga zibuze, tobyeraliikirira, kubanga zaazuuliddwa. Okwegomba kwa Isirayiri yonna kunaaba kw’ani, bwe kutaabe ku ggwe n’ennyumba ya kitaawo yonna?”
21 Saulo nodwoko niya, “Donge an ja-Benjamin, oganda matin ahinya ei Israel, to donge dhoodwa bende e dhoot matin, moloyo ei oganda mar Benjamin? Angʼo momiyo iwacho wechegi kuoma?”
Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Nze ndi Mubenyamini, era nva mu kika ekisingirayo ddala obutono, ate nga n’ennyumba yaffe y’esingira ddala okuba eya wansi mu nnyumba zonna ez’ekika kya Benyamini. Lwaki oyogera nange ebigambo ebifaanana ng’ebyo?”
22 Eka Samuel nokelo Saulo gi jatije kar budho moketogi gibet e kom manyime kuom ji duto mane oluongo mane nyalo romo ji piero adek.
Awo Samwiri n’atwala Sawulo n’omuweereza we mu kisenge ekinene, n’abatuuza mu bifo eby’oku mwanjo mu maaso g’abo bonna abaayitibwa abaali bawera ng’amakumi asatu.
23 Samuel ne onyiso jatedo niya, “Kel lemo mar ringʼo mane amiyi, mane anyisi ni iket tenge.”
Samwiri n’agamba omufumbi nti, “Leeta ekifi ky’ennyama, kye nakuteresezza, kye nakugambye oteeke wabbali.”
24 Eka jatedo nokawo em gi sembe moketo e nyim Saulo. Samuel nowacho niya, “Ma e gima nokan-ni, cham, nikech nokan-nigo ne nyasini, chakre e kinde mane aluongoe welo.” Eka Saulo nochiemo gi Samuel chiengʼno.
Awo omufumbi n’addira ekisambi, n’ebyakiriko n’akiteeka mu maaso ga Sawulo. Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Laba kino kye kyakuterekeddwa. Kirye kubanga kyakuterekeddwa okutuusa ekiseera kino olw’omukolo guno, okuva ku kiseera kiri, bwe nagamba nti, ‘Nnina abagenyi abayite.’” Awo Sawulo n’aliira wamu ne Samwiri ku lunaku olwo.
25 Kane gisea e kama owal mi gidwogo e dala, Samuel nowuoyo gi Saulo ka gin kode ewi ode malo.
Bwe baava mu kifo ekigulumivu ne baserengeta mu kibuga, Samwiri n’atwala Sawulo waggulu ku nnyumba ye ne banyumyamu.
26 Ne gichiewo ka piny yawore, eka Samuel noluongo Saulo ewi ot, kowachone niya, “Ikri abiro gonyi mondo ichak wuodhi.” Kane Saulo oseikore, en kod Samuel ne giwuok oko.
Awo enkeera Samwiri n’agolokoka mu makya n’akoowoola Sawulo nti, “Golokoka nkusibule odde ku lugendo lwo.” Sawulo ne yeteekateeka, ye ne Samwiri ne baserengeta okugenda mu kibuga.
27 Kane oyudo gin e bath dala, Samuel nowachone Saulo niya, “Nyis jatichni mondo otel, in to dongʼ chien mondo amiyi wach moa kuom Nyasaye.” Omiyo jatijno notimo kamano.
Bwe baali baserengeta nga banaatera okutuuka ekibuga we kikoma, Samwiri n’agamba Sawulo nti, “Gamba omuweereza wo ayitewo, atukulemberemu, gwe osigaleko wano, nkutegeeze obubaka obuva eri Katonda.”
