1 An yi wani mutum, attajiri daga kabilar Benyamin, sunansa Kish, ɗan Abiyel, jikan Zeror na iyalin Bekorat daga dangin Afiya.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Penisimani, ko Kisi hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo ʻApieli, ko e foha ʻo Siloa, ko e foha ʻo Pikolati, ko e foha ʻo ʻAfia ko e tangata Penisimani, ko e tangata mālohi.
2 Yana da ɗa mai suna Shawulu, wani kyakkyawan saurayi. A cikin mutanen Isra’ila ba wanda ya fi shi kyau, ya kuma fi kowa tsaye.
Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ko Saula hono hingoa, ko e tangata talavou lelei, mo toulekeleka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe lelei hake ʻiate ia: mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe māʻolunga lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
3 To, ana nan sai jakunan Kish mahaifin Shawulu suka ɓace. Kish ya ce wa ɗansa, “Tashi ka tafi tare da wani daga cikin bayi, ku nemo jakunan.”
Pea naʻe hē ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻa Kisi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kisi kia Saula ko hono foha, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi.”
4 Suka bi ta ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, suka ratsa ta ƙasar Shalisha amma ba su same su ba. Suka bi ta ƙasar Shalim, a can ma ba su same su ba sai suka bi ta ƙasar Benyamin, a can ma ba su same su ba.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne ʻosiki ʻae fonua ʻo Salisa, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa na toki ō ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo Salima, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻi ai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Penisimani, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu.
5 Da suka iso gunduman Zuf, sai Shawulu ya ce wa bawan da yake tare da shi, “Zo mu koma kada mahaifina yă bar damuwa a kan jakuna, yă shiga damuwa game da mu.”
Pea ʻi he ʻena hoko ki he fonua ʻo Sufi, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ke ta tafoki; telia naʻa tuku ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, pea hoko ʻo tokanga kiate kitaua.”
6 Amma bawan ya amsa ya ce, “Duba, a wannan gari akwai wani mutumin Allah, ana ganin girmansa ƙwarai kuma duk abin da ya faɗa yakan zama gaskiya. Mu tafi can wurinsa wataƙila zai gaya mana hanyar da za mu bi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e tangata ongoongolelei ia; ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai: pea ko eni ke ta ō ki ai; heiʻilo pe te ne faʻa fakahā mai hota hala ke ta ō ai.”
7 Shawulu ya ce wa bawan, “Idan muka isa can, me za mu ba wa mutumin? Ga shi abinci guzurinmu duk ya ƙare, ba mu da wani abin da za mu kai wa mutumin Allahn nan. Me muke da shi?”
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Kae vakai, kapau te ta ō, ko e hā te ta ʻave ki he tangata? He kuo ʻosi ʻae mā ʻi heʻeta ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻaʻofa ke ʻatu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e hā ʻoku ta maʻu?”
8 Bawan ya sāke ce masa, “Duba ina da kwatar azurfar da zan ba wa mutumin Allah don yă gaya mana wace hanya ce za mu bi.”
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tamaioʻeiki kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli siliva: te u ʻatu ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ke ne fakahā hota hala.”
9 (A dā a Isra’ila, in wani yana so yă nemi nufin Allah, mutumin yakan ce, “Zo mu tafi wajen mai duba.” Gama wanda ake ce da shi annabi a yanzu, a dā ana kiransa mai duba ne.)
(ʻI he ʻalu ha tangata ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki he tangata kikite: he ko ia ʻoku ui ni ko e Palōfita, naʻe ui ia ʻi muʻa ko e tangata kikite.”)
10 Shawulu ya ce wa bawansa, “Madalla, zo mu tafi.” Sai suka kama hanya suka nufi birnin da mutumin Allah yake.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku lelei hoʻo lea, haʻu ke ta ō.” Ko ia ne na ō ai ki he kolo ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
11 Sa’ad da suke haura tudun zuwa birnin, sai suka sadu da waɗansu’yan mata sun fito za su ɗiban ruwa. Sai suka tambaye su, suka ce, “Mai duba yana nan?”
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohake ʻi he moʻunga ki he kolo, naʻa na ʻilo ʻae kau finemui naʻe ʻalu ke ʻutu vai, pea ne na pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tangata kikite?”
12 ’Yan matan suka ce, “I, yana nan, ai, ga shi ma a gabanku, ku hanzarta. Shigowarsa ke nan a garin, domin yau mutane za su ba da sadaka a bagade a kan tudu.
Pea naʻa nau tali ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ia; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoua: mo fakatoʻotoʻo, he naʻe haʻu he ʻaho ni ia ki he kolo; he ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu māʻolunga:
13 Da zarar kun shiga garin, za ku same shi kafin yă tafi cin abinci a wurin yin sadakar, can kan tudu. Gama jama’a ba za su ci ba, sai ya kai can ya sa albarka a sadakar, sa’an nan waɗanda aka gayyata su ci. Ku haura da sauri, za ku same.”
ʻI hoʻomo hoko ki he kolo, te mo ʻilo leva ia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻalu hake ia ki he potu māʻolunga ke kai: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe he kakai kaeʻoua ke hoko ange ia, he ʻoku ne tāpuaki ʻae feilaulau; pea hili ia, ʻe toki kai ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai. Ko ia mo ʻohake eni; he ko e feituʻulaʻā eni te mo ʻilo ia.”
14 Suka haura zuwa birnin, da shigarsu sai ga Sama’ila ya nufo su a hanyarsa ta zuwa kan tudu.
Pea naʻa na ʻohake ki he kolo: pea ʻi heʻena hoko hake ki he kolo, vakai, naʻe hū kituʻa ʻa Samuela kiate kinaua, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ki he potu māʻolunga.
15 Kafin zuwa Shawulu, Ubangiji ya riga ya bayyana wa Sama’ila ya ce,
Ka ko eni kuo ʻosi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he telinga ʻo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho naʻe muʻa ʻi he hoko atu ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē,
16 “Gobe war haka zan aiko maka da wani mutum daga ƙasar Benyamin. Ka keɓe shi shugaban mutanena Isra’ila. Shi zai cece mutanena daga hannun Filistiyawa. Na ga azabar mutanena gama kukansu ya hauro wurina.”
“Feʻunga mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u fekau kiate koe ʻae tangata mei he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea te ke fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui hoku kakai mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia: he kuo u vakai ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hake ʻenau tangi kiate au.”
17 Da Sama’ila ya hangi Shawulu, Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ga mutumin da na yi maka magana, shi ne zai bi da mutanena.”
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Samuela kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata eni ʻaia ne u lea ai kiate koe! Ko ia ia te ne pule ki hoku kakai.”
18 Shawulu ya sami Sama’ila a hanyar shiga gari, sai ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Ina roƙonka ka nuna mini gidan mai duba?”
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Saula kia Samuela ʻi he matapā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tala mai, ko e fē ʻae fale ʻoe tangata kikite?”
19 Sama’ila ya ce, “Ni ne mai duban, ka yi gaba zuwa ka tudu, gama yau za ka ci tare da ni, da safe kuma in sallame ka, in gaya muku duk abin da yake a zuciyarku.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e tangata kikite: ke ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki he potu māʻolunga, he te tau kai mo au he ʻaho ni, pea te u tuku koe ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi, pea te u tala kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto.
20 Game da jakunan da suka ɓace kwana uku kuwa, kada ka damu, an same su. Ga wane ne Isra’ila ta sa dukan zuciya, in ba ga kai da kuma dukan iyalin mahaifinka ba?”
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga ʻasi ʻaia naʻe hē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili, ʻoua naʻa tokanga ho loto ki ai; he kuo ʻilo ʻakinautolu. Pea ʻoku tau kia hai ʻae holi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai?”
21 Shawulu ya ce, “Ashe, ni ba mutumin Benyamin ba ne daga ƙaramar kabila ta Isra’ila? Dangina kuma ba shi ba ne mafi kakanni a cikin kabilar Benyamin ba? Yaya za ka faɗa mini irin wannan magana.”
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Saula ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai ko e tangata Penisimani au ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea ko hoku fale ko e siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke lea pehē ai kiate au?”
22 Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya shiga da Shawulu da baransa ya zaunar da su a gaban waɗanda aka gayyata, mutanen sun kai wajen mutum talatin.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he potu fale kuo teuteu, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinaua ʻi he potu lahi taha pe ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tala, ʻaia ko e toko tolungofulu nai.
23 Sama’ila ya ce wa mai dahuwa, “Kawo naman da na ba ka, wannan da na ce ka ajiye dabam.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he ngaohi kai, “ʻOmi ʻae tufakanga naʻaku ʻatu kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, Tuku pe ia ʻo tauhi.”
24 Sai mai dahuwan ya ɗauko cinya da abin da yake bisanta ya kawo ya ajiye a gaban Shawulu. Sama’ila ya ce, “Ga abin da aka ajiye dominka. Ka ci, gama an keɓe shi dominka saboda wannan hidima daga lokacin da na ce, ‘Na gayyaci baƙi.’” Shawulu kuwa ya ci tare da Sama’ila a ranan nan.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he ngaohi kai ʻae alanga muʻa, mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Vakai, ko ia ʻoku toe ke tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke kai: he naʻe tauhi ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni talu ʻeku pehē, kuo u tala ki he kakai.” Pea ko ia naʻe kai ʻe Saula mo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
25 Bayan suka gangaro daga tudu zuwa cikin gari, Sai Sama’ila ya yi magana da Shawulu a ɗakin samansa.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga ki he kolo, naʻe alea ʻa Samuela mo Saula ʻi he tuʻa fale.
26 Da asuba sai suka tashi, Sama’ila ya kira Shawulu daga ɗakin sama ya ce, “Ka shirya, zan sallame ka.” Da Shawulu ya shirya, sai Sama’ila da Shawulu suka fita waje tare.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pea feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, naʻe ui ʻe Samuela ke ʻalu hake ʻa Saula ki he tuʻa fale, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula, pea naʻa na ō kituʻa fakatouʻosi pe, ʻaia mo Samuela ki he mamaʻo.
27 Suna dab da ƙarshen gari, sai Sama’ila ya ce wa Shawulu, “Ka ce wa bawanka yă yi gaba, kai ka ɗan dakata a nan tukuna, domin in ba ka saƙo daga Allah.”
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohifo ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kolo, naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Fekau ki he tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitaua, (pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ) ka ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate koe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.”
