1 Hagi mago'agna evutegeno, Amoni kini ne' Nahasi'a sondia vahe'a zamavarege'za, Israeli vahepi me'nea kuma Jabes-Kiriati ome avazagi kagizageno, ana kumapima mani'naza Jabesi-Kiriati vahe'mo'za Nahasina asami'za, kagrane huhagerafi huvempage hanunkenka kegava hurante'nanketa kagri eri'za vahe manigahune.
Ndipo Nahashi Mwamoni akaenda na kupiga kambi kuzunguka Yabeshi Gileadi. Watu wote wa Yabeshi wakamwambia Nahashi, “Fanya mkataba nasi, na tutakutumikia,”
2 Hagi Nahasi'a kenonazmirera anage hu'ne, tamagranema huhagerafi kema hanuana, nagra maka vahe'mota tamaga kaziga tamavurga tagati atregahue. Ana hanugeno Israeli vahe'mo'za zamagazegu hugahaze.
Nahashi Mwamoni akawajibu, “Kwa sharti hili nitafanya mkataba na ninyi, kwamba wote niwang'oe macho ya kulia, na kwa kitendo hiki kilete fedheha katika Israeli yote.”
3 Hagi Jabesi kumate ranra vahe'mo'za ananke nona'a Nahasina amanage hu'za asami'naze, 7ni'a zagegna tavega ante'nenketa, Israeli vahe'mo'zama eme taza hu'za tagumavazi'nagura kato vahera huzmantamnena kea eri'za vu'za Israeli vahera ome zamasamiho. Hagi zamagrama eme taza osanazana, nazano tamagrama hurantenaku'ma hazazana tamagrite maka'mota esunketa hurantegahaze.
Basi wazee wa Yabeshi wakamjibu, “Tuache kwa siku saba, ili tuwatume wajumbe katika nchi yote ya Israeli. Ndiposa, kama hakuna mtu wa kutuokoa, tutasalimu amri kwako.”
4 Hagi Nahasi'ma ana kere'ma hu izo'ma hige'za, Jabesi vahe'mo'za mago'a vahe huzamantage'za Soli kumatega Gibea kea eri'za vu'naze. Hagi ana ke'ma ome nezamasamige'za, miko vahe'mo'za nentahi'za ranke hu'za zavira ate'naze.
Nao wajumbe wakafika Gibea, alipoishi Sauli, na wakawaeleza watu kile kilichotokea. Watu wote wakalia kwa sauti kuu.
5 Hagi anama hu'za zavi krafama nehazageno'a, Soli'a hozaregati eri'zama e'neria bulimakaoma'ane ne-eno eme nezamageno anage hu'ne, naza fore hu'negeta miko vahe'mota zavira netaze, huno zamantahigege'za? Jabesi vahe'mo'za hu'naza kea agrira asami'naze.
Na Sauli alikuwa akiwafuata nyuma maksai kutoka shambani. Sauli akauliza, “Watu wamepatwa na nini hadi wanalia?” Ndipo wakamweleza Sauli kile ambacho watu wa Yabeshi walikisema.
6 Hagi Soli'ma anankema nentahigeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a agritera hanavetino egeno, Solina tusi arimpa ahe'ne.
Sauli aliposikia kile walichosema, Roho ya Mungu ikamjia kwa nguvu, na akakasirika.
7 Hagi Soli'a tare bulimakao'a aheno tagarago huno eri nezamino, ama ame'a erita nevuta, mika Israeli vahera amanage huta nanekea ome zamasamiho. Iza'o Soline Samuelinema amage'ma ontesimofona, ama bulimakaonte'ma fore'ma hianknaza fore humigahie. Hige'za ana nanekema nentahizageno'a Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri zamagogofege'za miko vahe'mo'za eri mago hu'za eme atru hu'naze.
Akashika nira ya maksai, akawakata hao ng'ombe vipande vipande, na akavituma hivyo vipande katika nchi yote ya Israeli kwa kuwatumia wajumbe, Akasema, “Yeyote asiyejitokeza akimfuata Sauli na Samweli, hivi ndivyo ng'ombe wake watakavyofanywa.” Na hofu ya BWANA ikawaingia watu, na wakajitokeza wote kwa pamoja.
8 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Bezeke kumate'ma azageno Soli'ma zamazeri ante fatgoma huno'ma hampri'neana, Israeli sondia vahera 300 tauseni'a sondia vahe manizageno, Juda sondia vahera 30 tauseni'a sondia vahe mani'naze.
Alipowahesabu hapo Beseki, watu wa Israeli walikuwa elfu mia tatu, na watu wa Yuda elfu thelathini.
9 Hagi anama hute'za kema eri'za e'naza vahera amanage hu'za huzmante'naze, oki'na zagema hanatino mareri'nenigeno tamaza hu'zana fore hugahie huta Jabes vahera ome zamasamiho. Hagi ana nanekema eme zamasamizage'za Jabesi vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze.
Wakawaambia wale wajumbe waliotumwa, “Mtawaambia watu wa Yabeshi Gileadi, 'Kesho, wakati wa jua kali, Mtaokolewa.”' Basi wale wajumbe wakaenda na kuwaambia watu wa Yabeshi, na watu wakafurahi.
10 Anante Jabesi vahe'mo'za Nahasina asami'za, okina tagra atiramisunketa nazano hurantenaku'ma hanaza zana hurantegahaze.
Ndipo watu wa Yabeshi wakamwambia Nahashi, “Kesho tutasalimu amri kwako, na utaweza kutufanyia chochote unachoona kinakupendeza.”
11 Hagi kora otu'negeno nanterame Soli'a sondia vahera 3'a kevu refako hige'za, Amori vahe kumapi ufre'za ha' huzmante'za bainati kazinknonteti zamahe'za rukafri makafri nehazageno vuno feruse'ne. Ana hazage'za osi'ama maniza Amori vahe'mo'za panani hu'za ufre efre hu'naze.
Siku iliyofuata Sauli akawapanga watu katika vikosi vitatu. Wakafika katikati ya Kambi wakati wa asubuhi, wakawashambulia na kuwashinda Waamoni ilipofika mchana. Waliosalimika nao walitawanyika, kiasi kwamba hata watu wawili hawakuachwa pamoja.
12 Hagi ana hute'za Samuelina antahige'za, ina vahe'mo'za hu'za Soli'a kva huorantegahie hu'za hu'naze? Zamavreta amare enketa zamahe frimneno.
Ndipo watu wakamwambia Samweli, “Wako wapi waliosema, 'Hivi kweli Sauli atatutawala?' Walete watu hao, ili tuwauwe.”
13 Hianagi Soli'a kenona huno, magore huta Israeli vahera zamahe ofrigahune. Na'ankure menina Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera zamahokeno zamavare'ne.
Lakini Sauli akasema, “Hakuna atakayeuwawa siku ya leo, kwa sababu leo BWANA amemuokoa Isreli.”
14 Hagi Samueli'a huno, enketa Gilgali vuta ete mago'ane hu'ama huta Soli'a kini mani'ne huta eri hanavetita vahera zamasamisune.
Kisha Samweli akawaambia watu, “Njoni, twendeni Gilgali na tuimarishe ufalme tena huko.”
15 Hige'za miko vahe'mo'za Gilgali vu'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga Soli'a kini mani'ne hu'za mago'ene azeri hanaveti kea hu'naze. Hagi anantega arimpa fru ofa nehu'za, Soli'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'za tusi musenkase hu'naze.
Hivyo watu wote wakaenda Gilgali na wakamsimika Sauli kuwa mfalme mbele za BWANA huko Gilgali. Na huko walitoa sadaka za amani mbele za BWANA, na watu wote wa Israeli wakafurahi sana.
