Kwakulomuntu wakoBhenjamini, indoda elesithunzi, ibizo layo lalinguKhishi indodana ka-Abhiyeli, indodana kaZerori, indodana kaBhekhorathi, indodana ka-Afiya owakoBhenjamini.

Wayelendodana ethiwa nguSawuli, ijaha elilesithunzi kungekho ongalinganiswa lalo phakathi kwama-Israyeli, edlula abantu bonke ngobude kusukela emahlombe kusiya ekhanda.
3 Hagi mago knafina Kisi donki afutamimo'za fanene hu'nazageno nemofo Solina asamino, mago eri'za vahe nevrenka vunka ana donki afuzagagu ome hako.
Ngalesisikhathi obabhemi bakaKhishi uyise kaSawuli balahleka, uKhishi wasesithi kuSawuli indodana yakhe, “Thatha enye yezinceku uhambe layo ukuyadinga obabhemi.”
4 Higeno Soli'ene eri'za ne'ane hakeke Efraemi agona kokampina nevune, Salisa uhanati'na'anagi magore huke hakeke eriforera osu'na'e. Anantetira hakeke Salimi vuna'anagi hakeke eri fore osuke netreke, Benzameni naga'mokizmi kumatamimpi vu'na'anagi onketfa hu'na'e.
Ngakho wadabula elizweni lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi lasemangweni ozungeze iShalisha, kodwa kababatholanga. Baqhubeka baya esifundeni saseShalimi, kodwa obabhemi babengekho. Wadabula phakathi kwelizwe lakoBhenjamini, kodwa kabawatholanga.
5 Hagi anantetira hakeke Sufu kaziga uhanatiteke, Soli'a eri'za ne'a asamino, Ru nenfa'a donki afuku'ma agesa antahintahima nehiama'a agatereno tagrikura agesa antahinigi egeta ete kumatega va'maneno.
Kwathi sebefikile esifundeni saseZufi, uSawuli wathi encekwini eyayilaye, “Woza, kasibuyele, hlezi ubaba ekele ukucabanga ngabobabhemi aqalise ukukhathazeka ngathi.”
6 Hianagi eri'za ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Ko, antu kumatera magora Ra Anumzamofo eri'za nera mani'neankino vahe'mo'za kesaga hunentaza nere. Hagi mika zanku'ma fore hugahiema nehiazamo'a fore nehia neki, egeta antu ana nete va'manenkeno, amaretira inante vugahu'e agra tasamigahie.
Kodwa inceku yaphendula yathi, “Khangela, kulumuzi kulomuntu kaNkulunkulu; uyahlonitshwa kakhulu, njalo konke akutshoyo kuyenzakala. Kasiye khona khathesi nje. Mhlawumbe angasitshela ukuthi siqonde ngaphi.”
7 Hagi Soli'a eri'za ne'amofona amanage huno kenona hunte'ne, Tagra knare Ra Anumzamofo eri'za netera vugahuanagi, naza muse zana eri'neta omenemita hugahue. Hagi hago ne'zama eri'no'a zana nevagare'noe. Hagi tavatera musezama amisu'azana omane'ne.
USawuli wasesithi encekwini, “Singaya kuye, sizamnikani umuntu lowo na? Ukudla kakusekho emigodleni yethu. Kasilasipho esingahamba laso emuntwini kaNkulunkulu. Kuyini esilakho na?”
8 Anage higeno ete eri'za ne'amo'a Solina kenona hunteno, Ko, ama kunifina osi'a silva zagoa eri'noankita Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mofona aminukeno inante tagra vugahu'e agra tasamigahie.
Inceku yaphendula njalo yathi, “Khangela, ngilokwesine kweshekeli elesiliva. Ngizakunika umuntu kaNkulunkulu ukuze asitshele ukuthi siqonde ngaphi.”
9 (Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Anumzamofontegati'ma keagama erinakura, enketa avune vahe ome kamaneno nehaze. Hagi korapara avune vahere hu'za nehazanagi, menina Anumzamofo kasnampa vahere hu'za nehaze).
(Ngaphambilini ko-Israyeli, lapho umuntu esiyabuza uNkulunkulu, wayesithi, “Woza, kasiye kumboni,” ngoba umphrofethi wakhathesi wayethiwa ngumboni.)
10 Hagi Soli'a eri'za ne'agura anage hu'ne, Knare ke hananki vanu'e. Anage higeke Anumzamofo vahe'ma nemanirega vu'na'e.
USawuli wasesithi encekwini yakhe, “Kuhle. Woza kasihambe.” Ngakho basuka baya emzini okwakuhlala khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
11 Hagi agonarega umarerike rankumatega nevakeno ana kumapinti tifinaku atineramiza mofa'nezaga ome zamantahigeke anage hu'na'e, avune nera mani'neo?
Besaqansa uqaqa besiya kulowomuzi bahlangana lamantombazana ayephume ukuyakukha amanzi basebewabuza besithi, “Kulomboni lapha na?”
12 Hakeno ana mofa'nemo'za kenona hu'za, izo meni avune nera tagri kumapina e'neno kresramana vu ofa nehu'za ruotge ne'za nenaku nehaza vahe zamavareno agonarega vu'za nehianki, ame huta ko vi'o.
Aphendula athi, “Ukhona. Uphambidlana kwenu. Phangisani khathesi; usanda kufika emzini wethu lamhla, ngoba abantu balomhlatshelo endaweni ephakemeyo.
13 Hagi ne'zama nenaku agonarega mareorinesigeta kumapima ufresuta'a ome tutagiha huntegaha'e. Hagi zamagima hu'nea vahe'mo'za ne'zana one avega ante'zma mani'nenageno uhanatino asomu kea ome hutena negahaze. Hagi hantaka huta vanuta'a ome kegaha'e.
Khonokho nje lingena umuzi, lizamfica engakaqanseli phezulu endaweni ephakemeyo ukuyakudla. Abantu kabayikuqalisa ukudla aze afike, ngoba kumele abusise umhlatshelo; emva kwalokho bazakudla-ke labo abanxusiweyo. Hambani-ke, lizamthola khathesi nje.”
14 Hagi zanagra kumapi ufreke nevuke, Samueli'a agonarega mono'ma nehaza kumatega vunaku ne-egeke ome ke'na'e.
Baya kulowomuzi, kwathi lapho bengena kuwo, babona uSamuyeli esiza kubo eqansela endaweni ephakemeyo.
15 Hagi Soli'ma ome'negeno ko oki Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino,
Ngosuku uSawuli engakafiki, uThixo wayeveze lokhu kuSamuyeli wathi,
16 okina ama ana knare Benzameni mopafinti mago nera hunta'nenkeno kagrite egahie. Hagi kagra masave frentenka azeri ruotage hugeno Israeli vaheni'arera kva mani'neno Filistia vahe'mo'zama zamazeri havizama nehaza zamazampintira zamagu vazigahie. Na'ankure zavi krafagezmia Nagra nentahi'na vaheni'a antahinezamue.
“Ngesikhathi esingaba yisonalesi kusasa ngizaletha kuwe umuntu ovela elizweni lakoBhenjamini. Mgcobe ukuba ngumkhokheli wabantu bami u-Israyeli; uzakhulula abantu bami esandleni samaFilistiya. Ngibakhangele abantu bami, ngoba ukukhala kwabo sekufikile kimi.”
17 Hagi Samueli'ma Solima negegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, E'i'na neku kasami'noankino agra vahe'nirera kegava hugahie.
Kwathi uSamuyeli ebona uSawuli, uThixo wathi kuye, “Lo nguye umuntu engikhulume kuwe ngaye; uzabusa abantu bami.”
18 Higeno Soli'ma kuma kahante Samuelima tutagiha hunenteno'a antahigeno, Inantega avune ne'mofo nona me'ne huno Samuelina antahige'ne?
USawuli wasondela kuSamuyeli wabuza wathi, “Ake ungitshele ukuthi indlu yomboni ingaphi.”
19 Higeno Samueli'a kenona hunteno, Nagra ama'na avune nera mani'noanki, ete vugeta agonarega marerimaneno. Hagi menina nagrane ne'zana nenenka oki nantera katra'nena vugahane. Hagi kagra'ma kagesa antahi'nana zantamina kasamivaregahue.
USamuyeli waphendula wathi, “Umboni yimi. Hamba phambi kwami uye endaweni ephakemeyo, ngoba lamhla uzakudla lami, ekuseni ngizakuyekela uhambe njalo ngizakutshela konke okusenhliziyweni yakho.
20 Hagi donkima fananema higeno 3'a knama evu'nea zankura kagesa ontahio, ko hake'za erifore hu'naze. Hagi menina Israeli vahe'mo'za kagri'ene negafa nagaku'ene amuhara nehaze.
Obabhemi abalahlekileyo ensukwini ezintathu ezedluleyo, ungakhathazeki ngabo; sebebonakele. Njalo kungubani izifiso zonke zika-Israyeli ezikhangele kuye nxa kungasuwe lendlu yonke kayihlo na?”
21 Hagi Soli'a kenona amanage hu'ne, Israeli naga nofipina Benzameni nagara osi naga manizageno, ana agau'afina nagri naga'mo'za osi'a naga mani'none. Hagi nahigenka e'inahu kea nehane?
USawuli waphendula wathi, “Kodwa mina kangisuye yini wakoBhenjamini, isizwana esincinyane kulazo zonke ko-Israyeli, njalo lendlu yakwethu kayincinyane kulazo zonke izindlu zesizwe sakoBhenjamini na?”
22 Hagi Samueli'a, Soline eri'za ne'anena nezanavreno vuno vahe'ma kehige'za emani'naza nompi ufreno, ese trate ome zanante'ne. Hagi anampinka 30'a vahe naza mani'naze.
USamuyeli wasengenisa uSawuli lenceku yakhe endlini enkulu wabahlalisa phambi kwalabo ababenxusiwe babengaba ngamatshumi amathathu ubunengi babo.
23 Hagi Samueli'a ne'zama negrea nera asamino, rure antese huo hu'nama kasami'noa afu ame'a erinka eme namio.
USamuyeli wasesithi kumpheki wakhe, “Letha iqatha lenyama engikuphe lona, leliyana engithe uligcine.”
24 Higeno ne'zama negrea ne'mo'a afu aga'a erino Soli avuga eme ante'ne. Hagi Samueli'a Solina amanage huno asami'ne, Vahetamima kema nehu'na, kagri suzane hu'na antegante'noanki, amama zamagima huge'za aza vahe'ene ne'zana no. Higeno Soli'a ana zupa Samueli'ene ne'zana ne'ne.
Ngakho umpheki wathatha umlenze lalokho okwakuphezu kwawo, wakubeka phambi kukaSawuli. USamuyeli wasesithi, “Nanku okube kugcinelwe wena. Dlana, ngoba kade kubekelwe wena kulelithuba, kusukela ngesikhathi ngisithi, ‘Ngilabemzini abanxusiweyo.’” USawuli wadla loSamuyeli ngalolosuku.
25 Hagi anantetira kumate'ma eramizageno'a Samueli'a nomofo agofetu Soli'enena keaga huteno, noma mase'niazana retro huntegeno mase'ne.
Sebehlile endaweni ephakemeyo ukuya emzini, uSamuyeli wakhuluma loSawuli bephezu kophahla lwendlu yakhe.
26 Hagi kotu avame Samueli'a otino Solina kehuno, Otige'na kazeri retrotra hanena kumakarega vuo. Higeno Soli'a otino Samueli'ene magoka kantega vu'na'e.
Bavuka ngezikhathi zemadabukakusa, uSamuyeli wabiza uSawuli phezu kophahla wathi, “Lunga ngikuqhube ohanjweni lwakho.” USawuli eselungile, yena loSamuyeli baphuma bonke.
27 Hagi kumapinti'ma utiraminaku'ma nehu'za Samueli'a Solina amanage huno asami'ne, ko huntegeno eri'za nekamo'a tatreno vugoteno nevina, kagra amare osi'agna nagrane mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamo nasami'nea kea huama hu'na kasami'neno.
Ekuhambeni kwabo besehlela emaphethelweni omuzi, uSamuyeli wathi kuSawuli, “Tshela inceku yakho iqhubeke phambi kwethu” lakanye inceku yenza njalo “kodwa wena sala lapha okwesikhatshana ukuze ngikutshele ilizwi elivela kuNkulunkulu.”
