< Samuel 1 12 >
1 Samuel gaƒo nu na Israelviwo be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mewɔ nu si miebia la na mi. Meɖo fia na mi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Vakai, kuo u tokanga ki homou leʻo ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa mou tala kiate au, pea kuo u fakanofo homou tuʻi.
2 Ame si anɔ mia ŋgɔ. Fifia metsi, nye ta ƒo wɔ eye vinyewo le mia dome; mekpɔ mia dzi tso keke nye ɖekakpuime ke.
Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ʻae tuʻi ʻi homou ʻao: pea ko au kuo u motuʻa mo ʻuluhinā; pea vakai ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu hoku ongo foha: pea kuo u ʻalu pe ʻi homou ʻao talu ʻeku kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
3 Fifia, esi metsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ƒe ŋkume la, medi be mabia mi be ame ka ƒe nyitsu alo tedzi mefi kpɔ? Meba ame aɖe kpɔa? Mexɔ zãnu le ame aɖe si kpɔa? Mete ame aɖe ɖe anyi kpɔa? Migblɔe nam eye maɖo nu si mexɔ alo nu vɔ̃ si mewɔ la teƒe.”
Vakai ko au eni, mou fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene pani: ko e pulu ʻa hai kuo u faʻao? Pe ko e ʻasi ʻa hai kuo u toʻo? Pe ko hai ha tokotaha kuo u kākaaʻi? Pe ko hai ia kuo u fakafiuʻi? Pe naʻaku maʻu ʻae koloa totongi ʻi he nima ʻo hai ke fakakui ʻaki hoku mata? Pea te u toe ʻatu ia kiate kimoutolu.”
4 Ameawo ɖo eŋu be, “Mèba mí alo te mí ɖe anyi kpɔ le mɔ aɖeke nu o eye mèxɔ zãnu zi ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã kpɔ o.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te ke kākaaʻi ʻakimautolu, pe fakafiuʻi ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke toʻo ha meʻa mei he nima ʻo ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
5 Samuel yi edzi be, “Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la nye nye ɖasefo be miate ŋu atsɔ nya ɖe ŋunye be meda adzo yewo o.” Ameawo ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyateƒee.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni mo ʻene pani he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi hoku nima.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e fakamoʻoni [ia].”
6 Samuel yi edzi be, “Yehowa tia Mose kple Aron, eyae kplɔ mía tɔgbuiwo dzoe le Egipte.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “Ko Sihova ia ʻaia naʻa ne fakahikihiki ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, mo ne ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
7 Azɔ la, mitsi tsitre ɖe afi sia kpoo le Yehowa ŋkume ne maɖo ŋku nu nyui siwo katã wòwɔ na mi kple mia tɔgbuiwo la dzi na mi.
Pea ko eni mou tuʻu pe, koeʻuhi ke tau alea mo kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai kiate kimoutolu, pea ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
8 “Esime Israelviwo nɔ Egipte eye wodo ɣli ɖe kuku na Yehowa la, Yehowa ɖo Mose kple Aron ɖa be woakplɔ wo va anyigba sia dzi.
ʻI he hoko ʻa Sēkope ki ʻIsipite, pea tangi ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai kia Sihova, naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻaia naʻa na ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, pea ne ne pule ke nofomaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu ni.
9 “Ke woŋlɔ Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la be kaba eya ta Yehowa tsɔ wo de asi na Sisera, Fia Hazor ƒe aʋafia kple Filistitɔwo ƒe fia kple Moab fia.
Pea ʻi heʻenau fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, naʻa ne fakatau ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Sisela, ko e ʻeikitau ʻo Hasoa, pea ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Moape, pea naʻa nau tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
10 Wogado ɣli ɖe kuku na Yehowa eye woʋu eme be yewowɔ nu vɔ̃ esi yewotrɔ le Yehowa yome hesubɔ Baal kple Astarɔtwo. Woɖe kuku be, ‘Míasubɔ wò, míaƒe Mawu, ɖeɖe ko ne àɖe mí tso míaƒe futɔwo si me ko’
Pea naʻa nau tangi kia Sihova ʻonau pehē, ‘Kuo mau fai angahala, koeʻuhi kuo mau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, pea mau tauhi kia Peali mo ʻAsitelote: ka ko eni, fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻo homau ngaahi fili, pea te mau tauhi koe.’
11 Yehowa ɖo Yerubaal, Barak, Yefta kple Samuel ɖa eye wòɖe mi tso miaƒe futɔwo ƒe asime eye mienɔ anyi le ŋutifafa me.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻa Selupeali, mo Pitani, mo Sefita, mo Samuela, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, pea ne mou nonofo fiemālie pe.
12 “Ke esi mienɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Nahas, Amonitɔwo ƒe fia ta la, mieva gblɔ nam be maɖo fia na yewo wòaɖu yewo dzi, le esime Yehowa, mia Mawu la nye miaƒe Fia xoxo elabena eyae nye miaƒe Fia ɣeawo katã ɣi.
Pea ʻi hoʻomou mamata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Naʻasi ko e tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ke tauʻi ʻakimoutolu, naʻa mou pehē leva kiate au, ‘ʻIkai; ka ʻe pule ha tuʻi kiate kimoutolu: ka ko homou tuʻi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.’
13 Fia si mietia lae nye esi, milé ŋku ɖe eŋu nyuie. Miawoe bia eye Mawu tsɔe na mi.
Pea ko eni, vakai ki he tuʻi ʻaia kuo mou fili, mo ia ne mou holi ki ai! Pea vakai, kuo fakanofo ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻi, kiate kimoutolu.
14 Azɔ, ne miavɔ̃ eye miasubɔ Yehowa, ahawɔ eƒe sewo dzi, miagadze aglã ɖe eŋu o eye ne miawo kple miaƒe fia la siaa miadze Yehowa, mia Mawu, yome la, ekema nu sia nu adze edzi na mi nyuie.
Kapau te mou manavahē kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia, pea fai talangofua ki heʻene folofola, pea ʻoua naʻa angatuʻu ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, pehē ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ʻakimoutolu mo e tuʻi foki ʻoku pule kiate kimoutolu ʻi he muimui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:
15 Ke ne miatsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe sewo ŋu eye miagbe toɖoɖoe la, ekema eƒe asi asẽ ɖe mia dzi abe ale si wòsẽ ɖe mia tɔgbuiwo dzi ene.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko hono hiki hake ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
16 “Azɔ minɔ klalo miakpɔ Yehowa ƒe nukunuwɔwɔ ɖa.
“Pea ko eni, mou tutuʻu ʻo mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni, ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao.
17 Mienya be tsi medzana le ƒea ƒe ɣeyiɣi sia me, le luxaɣi o gake mado gbe ɖa na Yehowa be wòaɖo dziɖegbe kple tsidzadza ɖa egbe ale be miadze si miaƒe vɔɖivɔ̃ɖi ƒe todede le ale si miebia be woaɖo fia na yewo la ta!”
ʻIkai ko e ʻaho eni ʻoe ututaʻu uite? Te u ui kia Sihova, pea te ne fekau ʻae mana mo e ʻuha; koeʻuhi ke mou vakai ʻo ʻilo ʻoku lahi ʻa hoʻomou angahala, ʻaia kuo mou fai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi hoʻomou kole ʻae tuʻi moʻomoutolu.
18 Ale Samuel yɔ Yehowa eye wòɖo dziɖegbe kple tsidzadza ɖa gbe ma gbe. Ameawo vɔ̃ Yehowa kple Samuel ŋutɔŋutɔ.
Ko ia naʻe lotu ai ʻa Samuela kia Sihova: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae mana mo e ʻuha ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe manavahē lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē kia Sihova mo Samuela.”
19 Woɖe kuku na Samuel be, “Do gbe ɖa na Yehowa wò Mawu ɖe mía ta ne míagaku o elabena míetsɔ nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ to biabia be woaɖo fia na mí me la kpe ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃ bubuwo ŋuti.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kia Samuela, “Ke ke hūfia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻoua naʻa mau mate: he kuo mau fakalahi ʻaki ʻemau ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻae kovi ni, ke kole ʻae tuʻi moʻomautolu.”
20 Samuel de dzi ƒo na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, eme kɔ ƒãa be miewɔ nu vɔ̃, gake mikpɔ egbɔ azɔ be miasubɔ Yehowa nyateƒetɔe eye miagatrɔ le eyome le mɔ aɖeke nu o.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē: kuo mou fai ʻae ngaahi angahala ni kotoa pē: kaeʻoua naʻa mou tafoki mei hoʻomou muimui ʻia Sihova, ka mou tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻaki homou loto kotoa;
21 Mawu bubuawo mate ŋu akpe ɖe mia ŋu o.
Pea ʻoua naʻa mou afe atu: he ka pehē te mou muimui ai ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga pe faʻa fakamoʻui; he ko e meʻa vaʻinga.
22 Yehowa magblẽ eƒe ame tiatiawo ɖi o elabena ne ewɔ nenema la, aklo bubu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkɔ gã la ŋu. Ewɔ mi mienye dukɔ tɔxɛ nɛ le ale si wòdi be yeawɔ mi nenema ko la ta!
He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai koeʻuhi ko hono huafa lahi: he kuo lelei kia Sihova ke ne ngaohi ʻakimoutolu ko hono kakai.
23 Nye ya la, nete ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye be madzudzɔ gbedodoɖa ɖe mia ta eye mato eme awɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu. Mayi nu siwo nyo kple nu siwo dze la fiafia mi dzi.
Pea ko au foki, Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku fai angahala kia Sihova ʻi he tuku ʻeku hūfia ʻakimoutolu: ka teu ako kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala lelei mo totonu:
24 Mixɔ Yehowa dzi se eye miasubɔe le nyateƒe me. Mibu nu gã siwo katã wòwɔ na mi kpɔ la ŋu.
Ke mou manavahē pe kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia ʻi he moʻoni ʻo homou loto kotoa: he vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo ne fai maʻamoutolu.
25 Ke ne mieyi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi la, woatsrɔ̃ mi kple miaƒe fia la siaa.”
Pea kapau te mou kei fai angakovi, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu mo homou tuʻi.”
