1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel sịrị Sọl, “Mụ ka Onyenwe anyị zitere ite gị mmanụ ka ị bụrụ eze ndị ya, bụ Izrel. Ya mere, gee ntị nʼozi sitere nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa.
Ɛda koro bi Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Me na Awurade somaa me sɛ memmɛsra wo ngo sɛ Israel ɔhene. Afei tie nkra a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn no.
2 Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru. ‘Aga m ata ndị Amalek ahụhụ nʼihi ihe ọjọọ niile ha mere Izrel, mgbe ha nọchiri ha nʼụzọ oge ha si Ijipt pụta.
Asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘Me ne Amalekfoɔ bɛdi wɔ deɛ wɔyɛ de tiaa Israelfoɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔfiri Misraim reba no.
3 Ugbu a, gaa buso ndị Amalek agha. Gbuchapụ ihe niile ha nwere. Enwekwala ọmịiko nʼahụ ha. Gbuo ndị ikom niile, ndị inyom niile, ụmụntakịrị niile na ụmụ na-aṅụ ara, igwe ehi na atụrụ, ịnyịnya kamel na ịnyịnya ibu ha niile.’”
Enti, kɔ na kɔsɛe Amalek mantam no pasaa. Kunkum mmarima ne mmaa, mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa, anantwie ne nnwan, nyoma ne mfunumu.’”
4 Ya mere, Sọl chịkọtara ndị agha ya mee ka ha zukọtaa nʼobodo Telaim. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị puku abụọ, ndị agha ji ụkwụ, tinyere puku ndị ikom iri si na Juda.
Enti, Saulo frɛɛ nʼakodɔm boaa wɔn ano wɔ Telaim. Na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ asraafoɔ ɔpehanu ne ɔpedu nso a wɔfiri Yuda.
5 Sọl duuru ndị agha ya gaa zoo nʼakụkụ iyi tara ata dị nso nʼobodo ndị Amalek.
Saulo kɔɔ Amalek kuropɔn no mu, kɔtɛɛ bɔnhwa no mu.
6 Sọl zigaara ndị Ken ozi sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼetiti ndị Amalek wezuga onwe unu ka m ghara ibibikọta unu na ha. Nʼihi na unu gosiri ndị Izrel obiọma mgbe ha si nʼIjipt pụta.” Ya mere, ndị Ken sitere nʼetiti ndị Amalek wezuga onwe ha.
Na ɔtoo Kenifoɔ no nkra sɛ, “Momfiri deɛ Amalekfoɔ teɛ hɔ na mansɛe mo ne wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ no firi Misraim reba no, mo ne wɔn dii no yie.” Enti, Kenifoɔ no twee wɔn ho firi Amalekfoɔ no ho.
7 Sọl busoro ndị Amalek agha site na Havila ruo Shua, nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Ijipt.
Na Saulo kunkumm Amalekfoɔ no firii Hawila kɔsii Sur wɔ Misraim apueeɛ fam.
8 O jidere Agag, eze ndị Amalek na ndụ, ma jiri mma agha gbuchapụ ndị ya niile.
Ɔkyeree Amalekfoɔ ɔhene Agag anikann, nanso ɔkunkumm nnipa no nyinaa.
9 Ma Sọl na ndị agha ya debere Agag ndụ, debekwa atụrụ na ehi kachasị mma, na ụmụ ebule na atụrụ gbara abụba, na ihe ndị ọzọ niile mara mma. Nʼezie, ihe ọbụla dị mma nʼanya ka ha jụrụ ibibi. Ma ihe ndị ọzọ niile nke na-amasịghị ha, na nke na-abaghị uru, ka ha bibiri.
Na Saulo ne nʼakodɔm no anyɛ Agag bɔne biara, na mmom wɔfaa wɔn nnwan pa, anantwie pa ne anantwie ne nnwan mma a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ ne biribiara a wɔn ani gye ho. Wɔsɛee deɛ ɛho nni wɔn mfasoɔ na ɛnni mu nyinaa.
10 Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Samuel ntị,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ,
11 “Ọ na-ewute m na m mere Sọl ka ọ bụrụ eze, nʼihi na o nupuru isi site nʼokwu m, jụ ime ihe m nyere ya nʼiwu.” O wutere Samuel nke ukwuu mgbe ọ nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Ya mere, o tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa abalị ahụ niile.
“Manu me ho sɛ masi Saulo ɔhene, ɛfiri sɛ, wanni me nokorɛ, na afei wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrentie mʼasɛm.” Asɛm no haa Samuel, na ɔsu frɛɛ Awurade anadwo mu no nyinaa.
12 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Samuel pụrụ gawa ịchọ Sọl. Otu onye gwara ya sị, “Sọl agaala nʼugwu Kamel iwuru onwe ya ihe ncheta. Ọ ga-esitekwa ebe ahụ gaa Gilgal.”
Adeɛ kyee no, Samuel sɔree ntɛm kɔhyiaa Saulo, nanso obi ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Saulo kɔɔ Karmel sɛ ɔrekɔsi nkaeɛdum de ahyɛ ne ho animuonyam, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ Gilgal.”
13 Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe Samuel hụrụ ya, Sọl ji oke ọṅụ kelee Samuel sị, “Onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi ka ị bụ. Lee, emeela m ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru!”
Na Samuel hunuu no akyire no, Saulo kyeaa no anigyeɛ so sɛ, “Awurade nhyira wo. Madi Awurade ahyɛdeɛ no so.”
14 Ma Samuel jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị bụ ube atụrụ ndị a m na-anụ? Ebee ka ube igwe ehi ndị a si na-ada?”
Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Na adɛn ne nnwan ne anantwie su a mete yi?”
15 Sọl zara sị, “Ndị agha m si nʼetiti ndị Amalek chịta ụfọdụ nʼime atụrụ na ehi ndị mara mma nke ha chọrọ iji chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị aja. Ma anyị bibiri ihe ndị ọzọ fọdụrụnụ.”
Saulo gye too mu sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ akodɔm no amfa wɔn nsa anka nnwan pa ne anantwie pa no. Nanso, wɔde yei rebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn. Biribiara a ɛka ho no deɛ, yɛasɛe no.”
16 Mgbe ahụ Samuel gwara Sọl sị, “Ekwukwala ọzọ! Gee ntị nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara m nʼabalị!” Sọl zara ya sị, “Kwuo, gịnị ka ọ gwara gị?”
Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Gyae! Tie asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me anadwo a atwam yi.” Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm?”
17 Samuel gwara ya sị, “Ọ bụghị ezie nʼagbanyeghị na ị dịrịị ntakịrị nʼanya gị onwe gị, ma ị bụụrụ onyeisi ndị ebo Izrel niile? Onyenwe anyị tere gị mmanụ ibu eze ndị Izrel.
Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ebia wobu wo ho abomfiaa, nanso ɛnyɛ wo na wodii Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa so no? Awurade asra wo ngo sɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
18 Onyenwe anyị ziri gị ijere ya ozi, gwa gị sị, ‘Gaa, laa ndị ajọ omume ahụ, bụ ndị Amalek nʼiyi; buso ha agha ruo mgbe ị kpochapụrụ ha niile.’
Na ɔsomaa wo sɛ kɔdi dwuma bi ma no, na ɔsee wo sɛ, ‘Kɔ na kɔsɛe amumuyɛfoɔ a ɛyɛ Amalekfoɔ no pasapasa, kɔsi sɛ mobɛtɔre wɔn ase dworobɛɛ.’
19 Gịnị mere i geghị ntị nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị ime ihe o kwuru? Gịnị mere i ji chụrụ ihe nkwata gaa, si otu a mee ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị?”
Adɛn enti na woantie Awurade? Adɛn enti na mopere fom nneɛma, na moyɛɛ deɛ Awurade kaa sɛ monnyɛ?”
20 Ma Sọl sịrị ya, “Ma erubeere m Onyenwe anyị isi. Ejere m ozi ahụ Onyenwe anyị zigara m. Anwụtara m Agag eze Amalek na ndụ, ma gbuchapụ ndị Amalek niile.
Saulo nso kaa no dendeenden sɛ, “Metiee Awurade. Deɛ ɔkyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, meyɛeɛ. Mede ɔhene Agag sane baeɛ. Na wɔn a aka no deɛ, mesɛee wɔn nyinaa.
21 Ndị agha sitere nʼihe a kwatara nʼagha were ụfọdụ atụrụ na ehi, bụ ndị kachasị mma nʼetiti ihe ndị ahụ e debere iche maka ịla ha nʼiyi, iji ha chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị aja na Gilgal.”
Na mʼakodɔm no nso de nnwan pa, anantwie pa ne asadeɛ baeɛ sɛ wɔde rebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn wɔ Gilgal.”
22 Ma Samuel sịrị, “Ihe na-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ ọ bụ onyinye na aja nsure ọkụ dịka nrube isi nye ihe si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta? Nrube isi dị mma karịa ịchụ aja ịṅa ntị dị mma karịa abụba ebule.
Na Samuel buaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na ɛsɔ Awurade ani: sɛ wobɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne okum afɔdeɛ anaasɛ wobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama Awurade nne? Osetie yɛ sene afɔrebɔ, sɛ wobɛtie no no yɛ sene sɛ wode nnwennini akɛseɛ sradeɛ bɛma.
23 Nʼihi na nnupu isi dịka mmehie ịgba afa, mpako dịkwa njọ dịka ikpere arụsị. Nʼihi na ị jụla okwu Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya ajụkwala gị dịka eze.”
Adɔnyɛ te sɛ bayie, ɛna asoɔden nso te sɛ ahonisom. Esiane sɛ woapo Awurade asɛm no enti, ɔno nso apo wʼahennie.”
24 Sọl zara Samuel sị ya, “Emehiela m. Nʼezie, enupula m isi na ndụmọdụ gị na nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ nʼihi na m tụrụ egwu ndị Izrel ka m ji mee ihe ha chọrọ.
Na Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne. Manni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ ne wo nkyerɛkyerɛ so. Na mesuro nnipa no enti na meyɛɛ wɔn apɛdeɛ maa wɔn no.
25 Biko, gbaghara m mmehie m ugbu a, bịakwa soro m ka m gaa fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe.”
Enti, mesrɛ wo, fa me bɔne kyɛ me na wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade.”
26 Ma Samuel sịrị ya, “Agaghị m eso gị laghachi azụ. Ebe ị jụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị ajụkwala gị dịka eze ndị Izrel!”
Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merensane ne wo nkɔ. Woapo Awurade ahyɛdeɛ enti Awurade nso apo wʼahennie!”
27 Mgbe Samuel tụgharịrị ka o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, Sọl jidere ya nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe ya ime ka ọ lọghachi azụ, ma uwe ahụ dọwara.
Samuel yɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔ no, Saulo sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ mu pɛɛ sɛ ɔsane noɔ, na atadeɛ no mu suaneeɛ.
28 Mgbe ahụ, Samuel zara sị ya, “Taa Onyenwe anyị adọwapụla alaeze Izrel site nʼaka gị were ya nyefee otu nʼime ndị agbataobi gị, onye ka gị mma.
Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, Awurade ate Israel ahemman mu afiri wo ho de ama obi foforɔ a ɔyɛ sene wo.
29 Chineke, onye bụ Ebube Izrel, anaghị agha ụgha; ọ nakwaghị agbanwe obi ya, nʼihi na ọ bụghị mmadụ efu!”
Deɛ ɔyɛ Israel Animuonyam no nni atorɔ na ɔnsesa nʼadwene; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene.”
30 Ma Sọl malitekwara ịrịọ arịrịọ ọzọ sị, “Emehiela m. Ma, sọpụrụ m ugbu a nʼihu ndị okenye ndị m, na nʼihu ndị Izrel. Lọghachi soro m ka m gaa fee Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ofufe.”
Saulo srɛɛ bio sɛ, “Menim sɛ mayɛ bɔne. Na mesrɛ wo sɛ, hyɛ me animuonyam wɔ me mpanimfoɔ ne me nkurɔfoɔ anim; wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn.”
31 Ya mere, Samuel kwenyere soro Sọl laghachi, Sọl kpọkwara isiala nye Onyenwe anyị.
Enti, Samuel pene ne Saulo sane kɔeɛ, na Saulo somm Awurade.
32 Mgbe ahụ, Samuel gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Kpọpụtara m Agag, eze ndị Amalek.” Agag ji ihu ọchị bịakwute ya, nʼihi na o chere sị, “Nʼezie oge ọnwụ agaala.”
Afei, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Fa ɔhene Agag brɛ me.” Agag baa ne nkyɛn gyidie mu, susuu sɛ ɛhɔ a wakɔ no deɛ, owuo apare no.
33 Ma Samuel kwuru sị, “Dịka mma agha gị sị gbawa ndị inyom aka ụmụ otu a ka nne gị ga-esi bụrụ onye na-enweghị nwa nʼetiti ndị inyom.” Samuel gburu Agag nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na Gilgal.
Nanso, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ wʼakofena akum mmaa bi mmammarima no, wo nso wo maame bɛyɛ ɔbaa a ɔnni ba.” Enti, Samuel twitwaa Agag mu nketenkete Awurade anim wɔ Gilgal.
34 Emesịa, Samuel lara nʼụlọ ya na Rema. Ma Sọl laghachikwara na Gibea, obodo nke aka ya.
Na Samuel firi hɔ kɔɔ Rama ɛna Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fie wɔ Gibea.
35 Site nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe Samuel nwụrụ, ọ hụkwaghị Sọl anya ọzọ. Ma o rugidere ụjụ nʼihi Sọl oge ndị a niile. O wutekwara Onyenwe anyị na o mere Sọl eze ndị Izrel.
Samuel anhyia Saulo bio nanso ɔdii ne ho yea bebree. Na ɛyɛɛ Awurade yea sɛ wasi Saulo ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
