Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Kodi udzamulira Sauli mpaka liti, popeza Ine ndamukana kuti akhale mfumu ya Israeli? Dzaza mafuta mʼbotolo lako ndipo unyamuke kupita kwa Yese wa ku Betelehemu popeza ndadzisankhira mmodzi mwa ana ake kukhala mfumu.”
2 Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Yaya zan yi haka? Ai, in Shawulu ya ji labari, zai kashe ni.” Ubangiji ya ce, “To, sai ka tafi tare da’yar karsana ka ce, ‘Na zo don in yi wa Ubangiji hadaya.’
Koma Samueli anati, “Kodi ndingapite bwanji? Sauli akamva zimenezi adzandipha.” Yehova anayankha, “Tenga ngʼombe yayikazi ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Ndabwera kudzapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.
3 Ka gayyato Yesse a wurin hadayar, ni kuma zan gaya maka abin da za ka yi. Za ka shafe mini wanda na nuna maka.”
Ukamuyitane Yese ku mwambo wa nsembe, ndipo ine ndidzakuwuza choti ukachite. Ukandidzozere amene ndikakulozere.’”
4 Sama’ila kuwa ya yi abin da Ubangiji ya umarce shi. Da ya isa Betlehem, sai dattawan garin suka tarye shi da rawar jiki, suka ce masa, “Mai duba, wannan ziyara lafiya dai ko?”

5 Sama’ila ya ce, “I, lafiya ƙalau. Na zo ne domin in yi wa Ubangiji hadaya. Ku tsarkake kanku sa’an nan ku zo mu tafi wurin yin hadaya tare.” Ya kuma sa Yesse da’ya’yansa maza su tsarkake kansu, su je wurin hadayar.
Samueli anayankha kuti, “Inde, kwabwino. Ndabwera kudzapereka nsembe kwa Yehova. Mudzipatule ndipo mubwere kudzapereka nsembe pamodzi nane.” Kenaka iye anamupatula Yese ndi ana ake aamuna ndipo anawayitana kudzapereka nsembe.
6 Da isarsu, Sama’ila ya ga Eliyab sai ya yi tsammani shi ne, sai ya ce, “Lalle ga shafaffe na Ubangiji tsaye a gaban Ubangiji.”
Pamene anafika, Samueli anaona Eliabu ndipo anaganiza “Ndithu wodzozedwa wa Yehova uja ndi uyu wayima pamaso pakeyu.”
7 Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Kada ka dubi kyan tsarinsa ko tsayinsa, domin ba shi nake so ba, gama yadda Ubangiji yake gani, ba haka mutum yake gani ba. Mutum yakan dubi kyan tsari ne kawai daga waje, amma Ubangiji yakan dubi zuciya.”
Koma Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Usaone maonekedwe ake kapena msinkhu wake, pakuti ndamukana iyeyu. Yehova sapenya zimene munthu amapenya. Anthu amapenya zakunja, koma Mulungu amapenya za mu mtima.”
8 Sai Yesse ya kira Abinadab yă zo gaban Sama’ila. Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ko wannan ma Ubangiji bai zaɓe shi ba.”
Kenaka Yese anayitana Abinadabu namubweretsa pamaso pa Samueli. Koma Samueli anati, “Yehova sanamusankhenso ameneyu.”
9 Sai Yesse ya sa Shamma yă zo gaban Sama’ila, amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ubangiji bai zaɓi wannan ma ba.”
Ndipo Yese anayitana Sama, koma Samueli anati, “Ngakhale uyu Yehova sanamusankhe.”
10 Yesse ya sa’ya’yansa maza bakwai suka wuce gaban Sama’ila, amma Sama’ila ya ce masa, “Ubangiji bai zaɓi waɗannan ba.”
Pambuyo pake, Yese anayitana ana ake amuna asanu ndi awiri kuti apite kwa Samueli. Koma Samueli anati, “Yehova sanasankhe amenewa.”
11 Don haka ya tambayi Yesse ya ce, “Su ke nan’ya’yan maza da kake da su?” Yesse ya ce, “Har yanzu akwai ɗan autan, amma yana kiwon tumaki.” Sama’ila ya ce, “Ka aika yă zo, ba za mu zauna ba sai ya iso.”
Tsono Samueli anafunsa Yese kuti, “Kodi awa ndi ana ako onse aamuna?” Yese anayankha kuti, “Ayi, alipo wina wamngʼono amene watsala, koma akuweta nkhosa.” Samueli anati, “Apite munthu akamutenge popeza sitipereka nsembe mpaka iye atabwera.”
12 Sai ya aika aka kawo shi. Ga shi kuwa kyakkyawan saurayi ne mai kyan gani. Ubangiji ya ce, “Tashi ka shafe shi, shi ne wannan.”
Choncho anatuma munthu kukamutenga ndipo anabwera naye. Iye anali wofiirira, wa maonekedwe abwino ochititsa kaso. Ndipo Yehova anati, “Mudzoze popeza ndi ameneyu.”

14 To, fa, Ruhun Ubangiji ya riga ya rabu da Shawulu, sai mugun ruhu daga Ubangiji ya soma ba shi wahala.
Nthawi imeneyo Mzimu wa Yehova unamuchokera Sauli, ndipo mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Yehova unayamba kumuzunza.
15 Ma’aikatan Shawulu suka ce masa, “Duba, ga mugun ruhu daga Allah yana ba ka wahala.
Atumiki a Sauli anati, “Taonani mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu ukukuzunzani.
16 Ranka yă daɗe, muna so ka ba mu izini mu tafi, mu nemo wanda ya iya kiɗan molo, domin duk sa’ad da mugun ruhun nan daga Allah ya tashi, sai yă kaɗa molon don hankalinka yă kwanta.”

Mmodzi mwa antchito ake anati, “Ine ndinaona mwana wa Yese wa ku Betelehemu. Ndiye munthu wodziwa bwino kuyimba, wolimba mtima, ngwazi pa nkhondo, wodziwa kuyankhula ndi wokongola. Ndipotu Yehova ali ndi iye.”
19 Sai Shawulu ya aiki manzanni zuwa wurin Yesse ya ce, “Ka aiko mini da ɗanka Dawuda wanda yake kiwon tumaki.”
Ndipo Sauli anatumiza amithenga kwa Yese kukanena kuti, “Nditumizireni mwana wanu Davide, amene amaweta nkhosa.”
20 Saboda haka Yesse ya ɗauki jaki tare da burodi da ruwan inabi da ɗan ƙarami bunsuru ya ba wa ɗansa Dawuda yă kai wa Shawulu.
Choncho Yese anatenga bulu namunyamulitsa buledi, thumba la vinyo ndi mwana wambuzi mmodzi. Zonsezi anamupatsa mwana wake Davide kuti akapereke kwa Sauli.
21 Dawuda ya isa wurin Shawulu ya shiga hidimarsa. Shawulu kuwa ya so shi ƙwarai da gaske. Dawuda ya zama ɗaya daga cikin masu sanya sulke.
