1 Samuel 11
1 Nʼoge ahụ, Nahash, eze ndị Amọn, duuru ndị agha ya bilie imegide ndị Izrel bi nʼala Jebesh Gilead. Ma ndị Jebesh rịọrọ ya sị, “Ka anyị na gị gbaa ndụ, anyị ga-anọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị gị.”
Ɛbɛyɛ bosome akyi, Amonhene Nahas dii nʼakodɔm anim bɛtoaa Israel kuropɔn Yabes Gilead. Na Yabesman mma bisaa asomdwoeɛ. Wɔsrɛɛ sɛ, “Momma yɛne mo nyɛ apam, na yɛbɛyɛ mo asomfoɔ.”
2 Ma Nahash, onye Amọn zara sị ha, “Mụ na unu ga-agba ndụ ma ọ bụrụ na unu ekwenye ka m ghụpụta anya aka nri nke onye ọbụla nʼime unu, si otu a wetara Izrel niile ihe nkọcha.”
Nahas kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, na adeɛ baako pɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mopene so. Ɛne sɛ, mɛtu obiara ani nifa baako de agu Israel nyinaa anim ase.”
3 Ndị okenye obodo Jebesh zara sị, “Nye anyị abalị asaa ka anyị ziga ndị ozi nʼala Izrel niile. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị onye kwere ịbịa zọpụta anyị, anyị ga-ewere onwe anyị nyefee gị nʼaka.”
Na Yabes mpanin no buaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn nnanson, na yɛmfa nsoma abɔfoɔ mfa Israel nyinaa, na sɛ yɛn abusuafoɔ amma ammɛgye yɛn deɛ a, yɛbɛpene wo nhyehyɛeɛ no so.”
4 Mgbe ndị ozi ha zipụrụ bịaruru Gibea, nke bụ obodo Sọl, ha kọọrọ ndị mmadụ ihe ndị a, ha niile dapụrụ nʼakwa.
Abɔfoɔ no bɛduruu Gibea a ɛyɛ Saulo kurom, bɛkaa asɛm a ato wɔn no kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ maa wɔn nyinaa suiɛ.
5 Ma nʼoge a, Sọl si nʼubi na-alọta, soro ụmụ ehi ya nʼazụ, ọ jụrụ, “Ọ bụ gịnị na-eme onye ọbụla? Gịnị mere na ha ji ebe akwa?” Ha kọọrọ ya ihe banyere ozi e si Jebesh zite.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Saulo refuntum nʼafuo. Na ɔbaa efie no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm na asie? Adɛn enti na nisuo abu obiara kɔn yi?” Enti, wɔbɔɔ asɛm a ɛfiri Yabes hɔ aba no ho amanneɛ.
6 Mgbe Sọl nụrụ ozi a, Mmụọ nke Chineke bịakwasịrị ya nʼike, iwe wekwara ya nke ukwuu.
Onyankopɔn honhom bɛsii Saulo so dendeenden. Na ne bo fuu yie.
7 Ọ kpụpụtara ehi abụọ bọkasịa ha, zipụ ndị ozi ka ha buru ha ga obodo niile dị nʼIzrel. Ozi ha ga-ezi ndị obodo ọbụla bụ nke a. “Ọ bụ ihe e mere ehi ndị a ka a ga-eme ehi onye ọbụla jụrụ iso Sọl na Samuel jee ọgụ.” Onyenwe anyị mere ka egwu jide ndị Izrel niile. Nʼihi ya, ha niile bịakwutere Sọl dịka otu mmadụ.
Ɔfaa anantwie mmienu, twitwaa wɔn asinasini, na wɔmaa abɔfoɔ no soa kyinii Israel nyinaa, de saa nkratoɔ yi kaa ho sɛ, “Obiara a wanni Saulo ne Samuel akyi ankɔ ɔko no, saa ara na ne nantwie bɛyɛ!” Na Awurade maa nnipa no suroo Saulo abufuo no. Enti, wɔn nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano.
8 Mgbe Sọl kpọkọtara ha na Bezek, ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom Izrel dị narị puku atọ, tinyekwara iri puku mmadụ atọ, ndị sitere na Juda.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Besek a ɔkan wɔn no, na Israel mmarima dodoɔ yɛ ɔpehasa ne Yudafoɔ a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ ɔpeduasa.
9 Ha gwara ndị zitere ozi ahụ okwu sị ha, “Zienụ ndị ikom Jebesh Gilead, ‘Echi, tupu anyanwụ achaa nʼuju ya, a ga-anapụta unu.’” Mgbe ndị ozi a gara zie ndị ikom Jebesh Gilead ozi a, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu.
Enti, Saulo somaa abɔfoɔ no ma wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔɔ Yabes Gilead kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɔkyena awia prɛmtoberɛ mu, yɛbɛyi mo afiri mo ahokyere no mu.” Abɔfoɔ no duruu kuro no mu no, anigyeɛ bunkam faa hɔ.
10 Ndị ikom Jebesh ziri ozi gwa ndị Amọn sị ha, “Echi, anyị ga-enye unu onwe anyị, ka unu mee anyị ihe masịrị unu.”
Na Yabes mmarima ka kyerɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛba mo so, na deɛ mopɛ no, monyɛ yɛn.”
11 Ma nʼụtụtụ echi, Sọl na ndị agha ya bịaruru. O kewara ndị agha ya ụzọ atọ, buso ụmụ Amọn agha na mberede nʼisi ụtụtụ. O gbugidere ha ụtụtụ niile ruo mgbe anyanwụ chara nʼuju ya, chụsasịa ndị fọdụrụ nʼime ha. Nke a mere na o nweghị ebe a ga-ahụ ka ndị agha Amọn abụọ nọkọtara.
Nanso, ansa na adeɛ rebɛkye no, na Saulo aduru hɔ dada. Ɔkyekyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no mu akuo mmiɛnsa. Ɔto hyɛɛ Amonfoɔ no so mpofirim, kunkumm wɔn anɔpa mu no nyinaa. Wɔn akodɔm nkaeɛ no bɔ hwetee baabiara a obi mpo nhunu sɛ wɔn mu baanu bi gyina baabi.
12 Ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere Samuel jụọ ya sị, “Olee ndị ahụ sị na Sọl agaghị abụ eze anyị? Kpọpụtara anyị ha ka anyị gbuo ha!”
Afei, nnipa no teaam frɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Nnipa a wɔka sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ Saulo di yɛn so ɔhene no wɔ he? Momfa wɔn mmra na yɛnkum wɔn.”
13 Ma Sọl zara sị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-egbu taa, nʼihi na taa, Onyenwe anyị anapụtala Izrel!”
Nanso, Saulo buaa sɛ, “Wɔrenkum obiara ɛnnɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade agye Israel ɛnnɛ.”
14 Samuel gwara ha sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị gaa Gilgal mee ịbụ eze a ka ọ dị ọhụrụ ọzọ.”
Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mommra na yɛn nyinaa nkɔ Gilgal nkɔsi Saulo ahennie no so dua.”
15 Ya mere, mmadụ niile gara Gilgal. Na mmemme pụrụ iche, ha mere Sọl eze nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ha chụkwara aja udo nye Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ. Ọṅụ jupụtakwara nʼobi Sọl na ndị Izrel niile.
Enti, wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Gilgal, na wɔhyɛɛ Saulo sahenekyɛ wɔ Awurade anim. Na wɔbɔɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade, na Saulo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa ani gyeeɛ.
