1 Hagi mago zupa Samueli'a amanage huno Solina asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a nagri hunantege'na Israeli vahe kinima mani'nankura masavena eme fregante'na huhampri kante'noe. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'ma kasami'nia nanekea antahise huo.
USamuyeli wathi kuSawuli, “Mina yimi engathunywa nguThixo ukuthi ngikugcobe ukuba yinkosi yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli; ngakho-ke khathesi lalela ilizwi elivela kuThixo.
2 Hagi amanage huno hanavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Israeli vahe'ma Isipinti'ma neage'za zamazeri haviza hu'naza zantera, Nagra Ameleki vahera zamazeri haviza menina hugahue.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: ‘Ama-Amaleki ngizawajezisa ngenxa yalokhu akwenzayo ku-Israyeli lapho abacathamela ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe.
3 Hagi menina vuta Ameleki vahera ha' ome huzmanteta mika zazimia eri haviza nehuta, zamahe fanane hu vagareho. Hagi vene'nema, a'nema, mofavrema, meni kasente'nenia mofavrema bulimakaoma, sipisipima, kemolima, donkinena mika'a zamahe friho.
Khathesi hamba uyehlasela ama-Amaleki uqede du konke okungokwawo. Ungawayekeli; bulala amadoda labafazi, abantwana lensane, inkomo lezimvu, amakamela kanye labobabhemi.’”
4 Higeno Soli'a Israeli sondia vahera Telaimi kumate zamazeri atru huno zamazeri antefatgo huno keana, 200 tauseni'a Israeli vahe manizageno, Juda vahera 10 tauseni'a sondia vahe mani'naze.
Ngakho uSawuli wabiza abantu wababuthanisa eThelayimi, izinkulungwane ezimbili zebutho lezinyawo kanye lamadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi avela koJuda.
5 Hagi Soli'a sondia vahe'ane Ameleki vahe ha' huzmantenaku kafo ome ante'za timo'a ko hagage hu'nea karahopi ome fraki'za mani'naze.
USawuli waya edolobheni lase-Amaleki bacathama edongeni.
6 Anante Soli'a Kenaiti vahekura huno, Ameleki vahera zamatreta viho. Hagi ana'ma osnazana ana vahe'ene tamahe hana hugahue. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama Isipima atre'za karankama neageta tamagra knare tamavutamava huzmanteta zamaza hu'naze. Anage hige'za Kenaiti vahe'mo'za Ameleki vahera zamatre'za vu'naze.
Wasesithi kumaKheni, “Sukani, tshiyani ama-Amaleki ukuze ngingaliqothuli kanye lawo; ngoba lina latshengisa umusa kuwo wonke ama-Israyeli ekuphumeni kwawo eGibhithe.” Ngakho amaKheni asuka kuma-Amaleki.
7 Ana hutazageno Soli'ene sondia vahe'amo'zanena Ameleki vahera hara Havira kumateti huzmante'za vu'za Isipi mopamofo zage hanati kaziga Suri kumate uhanati'naze.
Lapho-ke uSawuli wahlasela ama-Amaleki umango wonke kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri, empumalanga kweGibhithe.
8 Hagi kini ne'zamia Agakina ahe ofri amne aze'neri'za, maka vahera bainati kazinkonteti zamahe fri'naze.
Wathumba u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki ephila, kodwa bonke abantu bakhe wabaqothula ngokupheleleyo, ngenkemba.
9 Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahe'amozanena Agakina nohe'za, knare'ma hu'nea sipisipi afutamine, knare'ma hu'nea bulimakao afutamine, agaho sipisipine, agaho bulimakaone marerirfa fenozanena eri havizana osu'naze. Hianagi haviza huno knare'ma osu'nea zantamina miko zamahe frivaga nere'za eri haviza huvagare'naze.
Kodwa uSawuli lebutho kabambulalanga u-Agagi lezimvu ezinhle lenkomo, amathole anonileyo lamawundlu lakho konke okwakukuhle. Lokhu babengafisi ukukuqeda ngokupheleleyo, konke okwakuseyiseka lokungelasizo bakuqeda du.
10 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuSamuyeli lisithi,
11 Solina otroanki kinima azeri oti'noa zankura, narimpamo'a haviza hie. Na'ankure agra amagena hunenamino, osuoma hu'na hunte'noaza nehie. Anagema huno asamigeno'a, Ra Anumzamofontega Samueli'a krafage huno nunamuna huno nevigeno kotu'ne.
“Ngilusizi ngokuthi ngibeke uSawuli waba yinkosi, ngoba usengifulathele njalo kalandelanga imilayo yami.” USamuyeli wakhathazeka, wakhuleka kuThixo bonke lobobusuku.
12 Hagi Samueli'a nanterame otino Soli ome kenaku nevigeno, mago'a vahe'mo'za asami'za, Soli'a ha'ma hugatere'nea zante'ma nege'za antahimi haverami Karmel kumate ome retru renteteno, anantetira atreno Gilgali vu'ne.
USamuyeli wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ukuba ayebonana loSawuli, kodwa watshelwa ukuthi, “USawuli uye eKhameli. Uzibekele ilitshe lesikhumbuzo sakhe khonale wasephenduka esehlela eGiligali.”
13 Higeno Samueli'ma Solinte'ma ehanatigeno'a Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugante'nie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ome hugahane huno'ma hunante'nea kante ante'na maka zana huvagare'noe.
Kwathi uSamuyeli esemficile, uSawuli wathi, “Uthixo kakubusise! Sengikwenzile engikulaywe nguThixo.”
14 Hianagi Samueli'a huno, Na'a hige'na sipisipi ageru'ene bulimakao agerura nentahue?
Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Pho ukukhala kwezimvu ezindlebeni zami lokhu kuyini na? Kuyini ukubhonsa kwezinkomo lokhu engikuzwayo na?”
15 Anage higeno Soli'a kenona huno, Sondia vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofontega kresramna vunte'za Ameleki vahe'mokizmi knare'ma hu'nea Sipisipine bulimakaonena avre'za e'nazanki, mika zana zamahe vaganereta eri haviza hu'none.
USawuli waphendula wathi, “Amabutho azilethe zivela kuma-Amaleki; agcine izimvu ezinhle lenkomo ukuba azenze umhlatshelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, kodwa ezinye sizikhucule.”
16 Hagi Samueli'a huno, Taganenka mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamo'ma oki kenage'ma nasami'nea kea kasamineno, huno Solina azeri korigeno Soli'a huno, na'ane hu'nefi nasamio, huno Soli'a hu'ne.
USamuyeli wathi kuSawuli, “Mana! Wothi ngikutshele okutshiwo nguThixo kimi ebusuku obedluleyo.” USawuli waphendula wathi, “Ngitshela.”
17 Higeno Samueli'a asamino, Kagra kora kagi omane vahe mani'noe hunka kagesa antahi'nananagi, Ra Anumzamo Agra'a Israeli vahe kinia kazeri oti'ne.
USamuyeli wasesithi, “Lanxa wazibona umncane, kawuzange ube yinhloko yezizwana zako-Israyeli na? Uthixo wakugcoba ukuba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli.
18 Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno eri'zankea hugante'ne, kumi zamavu'zamava nehaza Ameleki vahera ha' ome huzamantenka mika zamahe fri vagaro huno hu'ne.
Njalo wakuthuma emsebenzini, esithi, ‘Hamba uyeqothula abantu labayana ababi, ama-Amaleki, uvuse impi labo uze ubaqede du.’
19 Hagi nahigeta Ra Anumzamofo ke'a amagera onteta, knare'nare'zana ha'ma hazafintira ame'amara huta omenerita Ra Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'avara hu'naze?
Pho kungani ungalalelanga uThixo? Kungani uzithathele impango wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo na?”
20 Higeno Soli'a amanage huno Samuelina asami'ne, Hianagi nagra Ra Anumzamofo ke amage ante'na Ra Anumzamo'ma ome hugahanema hunanteazana ome hu'noe. Nagra maka'zana ome zamahe vaganere'na Kini ne' Agakina avre'na e'noe.
USawuli wathi, “Kodwa mina ngimlalele uThixo. Ngihambile emsebenzini uThixo anginike wona. Ama-Amaleki ngiwaqede du, ngabuya lo-Agagi inkosi yawo.
21 Hianagi knare'nare'ma hu'nea sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamine, bulimakao afutamina Gilgali Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofontega kresramna vunte'zane hu'za sondia vahe'mo'za avre'za e'naze.
Amabutho athatha izimvu lenkomo empangweni, ezinhle zalezo ezazahlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu, ukuze zenziwe umhlatshelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho eGiligali.”
22 Hianagi Samueli'a kenona huno, Ra Anumzamo'a ofama hu'zane kresramna vuzanku musena hugahifi, ke'ama amage'ma ante'zanku musena hugahie? Ra Anumzamofo kema antahino amage ante'zamo'a, ofama hu'zana agateregeno, sipisipi afovama erino eme kresramna vu'zana, Anumzamofo kema antahi'zamo agatere'ne.
Kodwa uSamuyeli waphendula wathi: “Kambe uThixo uthokozela iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo ngokunjengokulalela ilizwi likaThixo na? Ukulalela kungcono kulomhlatshelo, lokukhathalela kungcono kulamahwahwa enqama.
23 Hagi kema rutagre avu'avazamo'a zagomareno ke avu'avazamofo kumi kna higeno, kema ontahi'zamo'a, havi anumzante mono hunentea kumikna hu'ne. Kagra Ra Anumzamofo ke rutrage'nanku, Ra Anumzamo'a kini tratetira kagria kazeri atre.
Ngoba ukuhlamuka kufana lesono sokuhlahlula, lobuqholo bufana lobubi bokukhonza izithombe. Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo ulalile, usekwalile njengenkosi.”
24 Higeno Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'ma kasamigenka nasami'nana kea nagra rutagre'na kumi hu'noe. Na'ankure sondia vaheku koro hu'na ana hu'noe.
USawuli wasesithi kuSamuyeli, “Ngenzile isono. Ngephule umlayo kaThixo leziqondiso zakho. Ngesabe abantu ngavumela okwabo.
25 Hagi nagra nasunku huanki kumi'ni'a atrenenantenka, nagrane ege'na Ra Anumzamofona monora ome huntaneno.
Khathesi-ke ngiyakucela, thethelela isono sami ubuyele emuva lami, ukuze ngikhonze uThixo.”
26 Hianagi Samueli'a kenona huno, Nagra kagranena ovugahue. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo ke rutagrankeno Israeli vahe kinia mago'ene omanisane huno kazeri atre'ne.
Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi kuye, “Angiyikubuyela emuva lawe. Ilizwi likaThixo ulalile, njalo uThixo usekwalile njengombusi wako-Israyeli!”
27 Hagi Samueli'ma rukrahe huno Solima atreno vu'za higeno, Soli'a Samuelina za'za kena'amofo atupa'are azerinegeno viana tagato hu'ne.
Kwathi uSamuyeli ephenduka ukuba asuke, uSawuli wabamba umphetho wesembatho sakhe, sasesidabuka.
28 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Samueli'a Solina asamino, Ra Anumzamo'a menina kinima mani'nenka Israeli vahe'ma kegavama hu'nana trara erimareno kagrima kagetere'nea ne' ami'ne.
USamuyeli wathi kuye, “Uthixo usewudabule kuwe lamhla umbuso wako-Israyeli, njalo usewunike omunye wabomakhelwane bakho, lowo ongcono kulawe.
29 Hagi Israeli vahe'mofo Hanavenentake Anumzamo'a, kema hia kemofona ruotagreno, antahi'zama'a ruzahe osu Anumzankino, Agra vahera omani'neankino antahintahi'a zahera osugosie!
Yena oyiNkazimulo ka-Israyeli kaqambi manga kumbe aguqule ingqondo yakhe, ngoba kasumuntu ukuba aguqule ingqondo yakhe.”
30 Hagi Soli'a mago'ene inene huno Samuelinkura anage hu'ne, Kumi hu'noanagi antahinaminka nagrane egeta, vahe'nimokizmine kva vahe zamavugane, Israeli vahe zamavuga Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofona monora ome huntaneno.
USawuli waphendula wathi, “Ngenzile isono. Kodwa ake ungihloniphe phambi kwabadala babantu bami laphambi kuka-Israyeli; buyela lami, ukuze ngiyekhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.”
31 Anage higeno Samueli'a avaririno vigeno Soli'a Ra Anumzamofona monora ome hunte'ne.
Ngakho uSamuyeli wabuyela loSawuli wasekhonza uThixo.
32 Hagi Samueli'a huno, Ameleki kini ne' Agakina avreta eho, huno Samueli'a hige'za avre'za e'naze. Hagi Agakima avre'za ne'ageno'a, hago hara vagareankino nahe ofrigahaze huno agesa antahi'ne.
USamuyeli wasesithi, “Ngilethelani u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki.” U-Agagi waya kuye ngokwethemba ecabanga esithi, “Impela intukuthelo yokufa isiphelile.”
33 Hagi Samueli'a Agakina asamino, Kagra rama'a vahe zamahanke'za mofavrezamia omani aneramina rama'a mani'nazankino, kagri'enena negrerana mofavre'a omanigahie. Anage huno nehuno Ra Anumzamofo avuga Samueli'a Agakina aheno Gilgali kumate rukafri makafri hutre'ne.
Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Njengoba inkemba yakho yenze abesifazane baswela abantwana, ngokunjalo unyoko kazukuba lomntwana phakathi kwabesifazane.” USamuyeli wambulala u-Agagi phambi kukaThixo eGiligali.
34 Ana huteno Samueli'a atreno Rama vigeno, Soli'a kuma arega Gibea vu'ne.
Emva kwalokho uSamuyeli wasuka waya eRama, kodwa uSawuli waya emzini wakhe eGibhiya yakoSawuli.
35 Hagi mago'ane Solina onke mani'neno Samueli'a fri'ne. Hagi Samueli'a Solinkura rama'a asunku hu'ne. Hagi nahigena Israeli vahe'mofo kinia Solina azeri oti'noe huno nehuno, Ra Anumzamo'a asunku hu'ne.
USamuyeli kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe engazange ayembona uSawuli futhi, lanxa uSamuyeli wamlilela uSawuli. Uthixo wakhathazeka ngokuthi wayenze uSawuli waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli.
