1 Na rĩrĩ, Nahashu ũrĩa Mũamoni nĩambatire agĩthiĩ akĩrigiicĩria Jabeshi-Gileadi. Nao andũ othe a Jabeshi makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gĩa na kĩrĩĩko kĩa ũiguano, na ithuĩ nĩ tũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”
Ɛbɛyɛ ɔsram akyi, Amonhene Nahas dii nʼakofo anim bɛtoaa Israel kuropɔn Yabes Gilead. Na Yabesman mma srɛɛ sɛ, “Momma yɛne mo nyɛ apam, na yɛbɛyɛ mo asomfo.”
2 Nowe Nahashu ũcio Mũamoni agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkũgĩa na kĩrĩĩko kĩa ũiguano na inyuĩ mwetĩkĩra ũndũ ũyũ ũmwe: atĩ ngũũre riitho rĩa ũrĩo rĩa o mũndũ wothe nĩgeetha nyararithie andũ a Isiraeli othe.”
Nanso Amonni Nahas buae se, “Eye, na ade baako pɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mopene so. Ɛne sɛ, metu obiara ani nifa baako de agu Israel nyinaa anim ase.”
3 Athuuri acio a Jabeshi makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũhe mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩguo tũtũme andũ Isiraeli guothe, kũngĩaga mũndũ wa gũtũhonokia-rĩ, nĩtũkwĩneana kũrĩ we.”
Na Yabes mpanyin no buae se, “Ma yɛn nnanson, na yɛmfa nsoma abɔfo mfa Israel nyinaa, na sɛ yɛn abusuafo amma ammegye yɛn de a, yɛbɛpene wo nhyehyɛe no so.”
4 Rĩrĩa andũ acio matũmĩtwo maakinyire Gibea gwa Saũlũ na makĩheana ũhoro ũcio kũrĩ andũ-rĩ, andũ othe makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire.
Abɔfo no beduu Gibea a ɛyɛ Saulo kurom, bɛkaa asɛm a ato wɔn no kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo maa wɔn nyinaa sui.
5 Na rĩrĩ, Saũlũ nĩgũcooka aacookaga oimĩte mĩgũnda-inĩ, oimĩte ndegwa ciake thuutha, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ andũ aya moonete ũũru ũrĩkũ? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma marĩre?” Nao magĩcookera ũhoro ũcio makĩmwĩra ũrĩa andũ a Jabeshi moigĩte.
Saa bere no, na Saulo refuntum nʼafuw. Na ɔbaa fie no, obisae se, “Dɛn asɛm na asi? Adɛn nti na nusu abu obiara kɔn yi?” Enti wɔbɔɔ asɛm a efi Yabes aba no ho amanneɛ.
6 Rĩrĩa Saũlũ aiguire ũhoro ũcio, Roho wa Ngai agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya mũno, nake agĩcinwo nĩ marakara.
Onyankopɔn honhom besii Saulo so denneennen. Na ne bo fuw yiye.
7 Akĩnyiita ndegwa igĩrĩ, agĩcitinangia icunjĩ, na agĩtũma andũ Isiraeli guothe nacio, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo ndegwa cia mũndũ o wothe igwĩkwo ũrĩa ũtekũrũmĩrĩra Saũlũ na Samũeli.” Naguo guoya woimĩte harĩ Jehova ũkĩnyiita andũ acio, nao makiumagara ta maarĩ o mũndũ ũmwe.
Ɔfaa anantwi abien, twitwaa wɔn asinasin, na wɔmaa abɔfo no soa kyinii Israel nyinaa, kae se, “Obiara a wanni Saulo ne Samuel akyi ankɔ ɔko no, saa ara na ne nantwi bɛyɛ!” Na Awurade maa nnipa no suroo Saulo abufuw no. Enti wɔn nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Saũlũ aamatarire hamwe marĩ kũu Bezeki, andũ a Isiraeli maarĩ andũ ngiri magana matatũ na andũ a Juda ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
Bere a Saulo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Besek a ɔkan wɔn no, na Israel mmarima dodow yɛ mpem ahaasa na Yudafo nso dodow yɛ mpem aduasa.
9 Nao makĩĩra andũ acio maatũmĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Ĩrai andũ acio a Jabeshi-Gileadi atĩrĩ, ‘rũciũ ihinda rĩrĩa riũa rĩgaakorwo rĩhiũhĩte, nĩguo mũkaahonokio.’” Rĩrĩa andũ acio maatũmĩtwo mathiire makĩheana ũhoro ũcio kũrĩ andũ a Jabeshi-rĩ, andũ acio makĩiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno kĩnene.
Saulo somaa abɔfo no ma wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔɔ Yabes Gilead kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Enkosi ɔkyena awia owigyinae bere mu no, yebeyi mo afi mo ahokyere no mu.” Abɔfo no kɔka eyi kyerɛɛ Yabes mmarima no, wɔn ani gyei.
10 Nao makĩĩra andũ a Amoni atĩrĩ, “Rũciũ nĩtũkeneana kũrĩ inyuĩ, na inyuĩ no mũtwĩke ũrĩa wothe mũkoona kwagĩrĩire.”
Na Yabes mmarima ka kyerɛɛ wɔn atamfo no se, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛba mo so, na nea mopɛ no, monyɛ yɛn.”
11 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Saũlũ akĩgayania ita rĩake akĩiga andũ ikundi ithatũ; na hĩndĩ ya ituanĩra rĩa arangĩri rĩa gũgĩkĩa makĩhithũka kambĩ-inĩ ya Aamoni makĩmooraga nginya rĩrĩa riũa rĩakoretwo rĩhiũhĩte. Arĩa maatigarire makĩharaganio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtiarĩ andũ ao eerĩ maatigĩtwo me hamwe.
Nanso ansa na ade bɛkye no, na Saulo adu hɔ dedaw. Ɔkyekyɛɛ nʼakofo no mu akuw abiɛsa. Ɔtow hyɛɛ Amonfo no so mpofirim, kunkum wɔn anɔpa mu no nyinaa. Wɔn asraafo nkae no bɔ hwetee baabiara a obi mpo nhu sɛ wɔn mu baanu bi gyina faako.
12 Andũ acio magĩcooka makĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Nĩ a acio mooragia atĩrĩ, ‘Saũlũ no atũthamakĩre?’ Tũrehere andũ acio tũmoorage.”
Afei, nnipa no teɛɛ mu frɛɛ Samuel se, “Nnipa a wɔka se ɛnsɛ sɛ Saulo di yɛn so hene no wɔ he? Momfa wɔn mmra na yenkum wɔn.”
13 Nowe Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũũ ũkũũragwo ũmũthĩ, nĩ ũndũ mũthenya ũyũ Jehova nĩahonoketie Isiraeli.”
Nanso Saulo buae se, “Wɔrenkum obiara nnɛ, efisɛ, Awurade agye Israel nnɛ.”
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samũeli agĩcooka akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, tũthiĩ Giligali na tũrĩ kũu tũkindĩre ũthamaki.”
Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mommra na yɛn nyinaa nkɔ Gilgal nkosi Saulo ahenni no so dua.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe magĩthiĩ Giligali na magĩkindĩra atĩ Saũlũ nĩwe mũthamaki marĩ mbere ya Jehova. Nao marĩ kũu makĩruta maruta ma ũiguano marĩ mbere ya Jehova, nake Saũlũ na andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩkũngũĩra na njĩra nene.
Enti wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Gilgal, na wɔhyɛɛ Saulo ahenkyɛw wɔ Awurade anim. Na wɔbɔɔ asomdwoe afɔre maa Awurade, na Saulo ne Israelfo nyinaa gyee wɔn ani.
