1 Samwiri 10

1 Awo Samwiri n’addira eccupa ey’amafuta n’agifuka ku mutwe gwa Sawulo, n’amunywegera ng’agamba nti, “Mukama akufuseeko amafuta okufuga abantu be, Isirayiri.

Afei, Samuel faa ngotoa a ngo wɔ mu hwie guu Saulo tirim, fee nʼafono ho, kaa sɛ, “Mereyɛ yei de akyerɛ sɛ Awurade apa wo sɛ ɔkannifoɔ ama ne ɔman Israel.

2 Bw’onoova wano leero, onoosisinkana abasajja babiri okumpi n’amalaalo ga Laakeeri, e Zereza ku nsalo ya Benyamini, banaakugamba nti, ‘Endogoyi ze wagenda okunoonya zaalabise. Kitaawo kaakano takyalowooza ku ndogoyi, naye, yeeraliikirira ggwe, nga yeebuuza nti, “Ebya mutabani wange mbikole ntya?”’

Sɛ wogya me ha ɛnnɛ na worekɔ a, wobɛhyia mmarima baanu wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Rahel ɛda a ɛwɔ Selsa a ɛbɛn Benyamin hyeɛ no. Wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Mfunumu a motuu ho anammɔn kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn no, wɔahu wɔn. Enti, seesei, wʼagya agyae wɔn ho dwene, na mmom, mo ho na ɔredwene. Ɔtaa bisa sɛ, “Obi ahunu me babarima no anaa?”’

3 “Bw’onoova awo, ne weeyongerayo okutuuka ku mwera gwa Taboli, onoosisinkana abasajja basatu abanaaba bagenda okusisinkana Katonda e Beseri, omu nga yeetisse obubuzi busatu, omulala nga yeetisse emigaati esatu, n’omulala ng’asitudde eccupa y’envinnyo.

“Moduru dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Tabor ho a mobɛhyia mmarima baasa bi a wɔfiri Bet-El rekɔ akɔsom Onyankopɔn. Ɔbaako so mmirekyie mma mmiɛnsa, ɔbaako nso so burodo mua mmiɛnsa ɛnna deɛ ɔka ho no nso so nsã aboa nwoma kotokuo baako.

4 Banaakulamusa ne bakuwa emigaati ebiri, era gikkirize.

Wɔbɛkyea mo, na wɔama mo burodo mua mmienu, na ɛsɛ sɛ mogye firi wɔn nkyɛn.

5 “Bw’onoova eyo ogenda ku Lusozi lwa Katonda oluliko ekigo eky’Abafirisuuti. Bw’onooba onootera okutuuka ku kibuga, onoosisinkana ekibiina kya bannabbi nga baserengeta okuva mu kifo ekigulumivu nga bakulembeddwamu abakuba entongooli, n’ebitaasa, n’endere, n’ennanga, era nga bawa obunnabbi.

“Na sɛ moduru Onyankopɔn kokoɔ a ɛwɔ Gibea a Filistifoɔ akodɔm abɔ kyɛmpem wɔ hɔ no a, mobɛhunu adiyifoɔ asafodɔm sɛ wɔfiri afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ bepɔ no so hɔ resiane ba. Ɛhɔ na mobɛhyia adiyifoɔ asafo a wɔresiane firi bepɔ no so hɔ reba na bɛnta ne mpintin ne mmɛn ne nsankuo di wɔn anim a wɔrehyɛ nkɔm.

6 Omwoyo wa Mukama anakukkako mu maanyi, n’owa obunnabbi wamu nabo, era onookyusibwa n’ofuuka omuntu omuggya.

Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade Honhom bɛba wo so wɔ tumi mu, na wo ne wɔn bɛhyɛ nkɔm. Wobɛsakyera ayɛ onipa foforɔ.

7 Obubonero obwo bwe bunaatuukirira, kola kyonna ky’onoolaba nga kituufu, kubanga Katonda ali wamu naawe.

Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ yi akyi no, yɛ deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ biara, na Onyankopɔn bɛka wo ho.

8 “Serengeta onsookeyo e Girugaali. Nnaakugoberera ne nzija gy’oli okuwaayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, naye oteekwa okunnindako okumala ennaku musanvu okutuusa lwe ndijja gy’oli ne nkutegeeza eky’okukola.”

Afei, siane di mʼanim kɔ Gilgal na kɔtwɛn me wɔ hɔ nnanson. Mɛba abɛka wo ho wɔ hɔ, na yɛabɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ. Na sɛ meduru hɔ a, mɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ bio.”

9 Awo Sawulo bwe yava eri Samwiri, Katonda n’amuwa omutima omuggya, n’obubonero obwo bwonna ne butuukirira ku lunaku olwo.

Saulo danee ne ho pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ara pɛ, Onyankopɔn sesaa nʼakoma, na Samuel nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nyinaa baa mu da no.

10 Bwe baatuuka ku lusozi ekibiina kya bannabbi ne kimusisinkana, Omwoyo wa Katonda n’amukkako mu maanyi era n’atandika okuwa obunnabbi wamu nabo.

Ɛberɛ a Saulo ne ne ɔsomfoɔ no duruu Gibea no, wɔhunuu sɛ adiyifoɔ no reba. Afei Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso hyɛɛ aseɛ hyɛɛ nkɔm.

11 Abaali baamumanya okuva edda n’edda bwe baamulaba ng’awa obunnabbi wamu ne bannabbi, ne bagambagana nti, “Kiki kino ekituuse ku mutabani wa Kiisi? Sawulo naye ali omu ku bannabbi?”

Ɛberɛ a ne nnamfonom tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔteaam sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na moreka yi? Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kis babarima tumi bɛyɛɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”

12 Omu ku batuuze b’ekitundu ekyo n’abuuza nti, “Ye kitaabwe y’ani?” Kyerwava lufuuka olugero nti, “Ne Sawulo ali omu ku bannabbi?”

Nanso, ɛhɔni bi kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ nʼagya te deɛ, ɛmfa ho; obiara tumi bɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni.” Enti, ɛbɛyɛɛ sɛnnahɔ sɛ, “Enti, Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”

13 Awo Sawulo bwe yamala okuwa obunnabbi, n’ayambuka mu kifo ekigulumivu.

Saulo gyaee nkɔmhyɛ no, ɔforo bepɔ no kɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

14 Awo kojja wa Sawulo n’ababuuza ye n’omuweereza nti, “Mubadde wa?” N’addamu nti, “Tubadde tunoonya endogoyi, naye bwe tutaazirabye, ne tugenda eri Samwiri.”

Ɔduruu hɔ no, Saulo wɔfa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhefa na wokɔeɛ a dadaada yɛnhunuu wo yi?” Saulo buaa sɛ, “Yɛkɔhwehwɛɛ mfunumu a wɔayera no, nanso yɛanhunu wɔn. Ɛno enti, yɛkɔɔ odiyifoɔ Samuel nkyɛn kɔbisaa no baabi a wɔwɔ.”

15 Kojja wa Sawulo n’amugamba nti, “Mbuulira Samwiri kye yakugambye.”

Ne wɔfa no bisaa sɛ, “Saa? Na asɛm bɛn na ɔkaeɛ?”

16 Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Yatutegeeza nti endogoyi zaali zirabise.” Naye n’atamubuulira Samwiri bye yamugamba ku by’obwakabaka.

Saulo buaa sɛ, “Ɔkaa sɛ, wɔahunu mfunumu no.” Nanso, Saulo anka ankyerɛ ne wɔfa no sɛ Samuel asra no ngo sɛ wɔbɛsi no ɔhene.

17 Samwiri n’ayita abantu ba Isirayiri bakuŋŋaanire eri Mukama e Mizupa.

Samuel frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa baa Awurade anim wɔ Mispa,

18 N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Naggya Isirayiri mu Misiri, ne mbalokola okuva mu mukono gw’Abamisiri, ne mu mukono gw’obwakabaka bwonna obwabajooganga.

na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie, ‘Mede Israelfoɔ firi Misraim baeɛ, na megyee mo firii Misraim tumi ne wɔn a wɔdi mo nya no nyinaa ase.’

19 Naye kaakano mujeemedde Katonda wammwe eyabalokola okuva mu buyinike bwammwe n’ennaku yammwe, ne mwogera nti, Nedda, tuteerewo kabaka atufuge.’ Kale mweyanjule mu maaso ga Mukama mu bika byammwe ne nnyiriri zammwe nga bwe biri.”

Nanso, ɛwom sɛ mayɛ bebree ama mo deɛ, nso moapo me aka sɛ, ‘Yɛpɛ ɔhene.’ Enti, afei, momfa mo mmusuakuo ne mo mmusua mmra Awurade anim.”

20 Awo Samwiri bwe yasembeza ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri okumpi ne we yali, ekika kya Benyamini ne kirondebwa na kalulu.

Samuel maa Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa baeɛ no, Benyamin abusuakuo na wɔyii wɔn.

21 N’asembeza ekika kya Benyamini, lunyiriri ku lunyiriri, era olunyiriri lwa Materi ne lulondebwa. N’oluvannyuma Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi n’alondebwa, naye bwe baamunoonya, nga talabika.

Afei ɔmaa Benyamin abusuakuo no mu mmusua nyinaa baa Awurade anim na wɔyii Matri abusua, ɛnna awieeɛ no wɔyii Kis babarima Saulo. Na wɔhwehwɛɛ no no, na wɔnhunu baabi a wafa.

22 Ne beeyongera okwebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Omusajja w’ali wano, atuuse?” Awo Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Ye, yeekwese mu bitereke.”

Enti, wɔbisaa Awurade sɛ, “Na ɔwɔ he?” Na Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, ɔde ne ho ahinta nneɛma mu.”

23 Ne badduka ne bagenda ne bamuleeta. Bwe yayimirira mu bantu, n’aba ng’asinga abantu bonna obuwanvu.

Enti, wɔtuu mmirika kɔfaa no baeɛ. Na ɔbɛgyinaa nnipa no mu no na ne tenten bunkam fa obiara so.

24 Samwiri n’agamba abantu bonna nti, “Mulaba omusajja Mukama gw’alonze? Tewali amwenkana mu bantu bonna.” Abantu ne baddamu n’eddoboozi eddene nti, “Wangaala Kabaka.”

Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Ɔbarima a Awurade apa no sɛ mo ɔhene nie. Obiara nni Israel ha a ɔne no sɛ.” Afei, nnipa no nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”

25 Samwiri n’annyonnyola abantu ebiragiro n’obulombolombo eby’obwakabaka, n’abiwandiika mu kitabo n’akiteeka mu maaso ga Mukama. Awo Samwiri n’asiibula abantu bonna, buli omu n’addayo ewuwe.

Samuel kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara a ɛbata saa ahennie no ho kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔtwerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ so, de kɔtoo Awurade anim. Afei, Samuel gyaa ɔmanfoɔ no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ wɔn afie.

26 Sawulo naye n’addayo ewaabwe mu Gibea, ng’awerekerwako abasajja abazira Katonda be yali akomyeko ku mitima.

Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fie wɔ Gibea na nnipakuo bi a Onyankopɔn aka wɔn akoma de wɔn ho bɛbɔɔ no.

27 Naye abamu ku basajja ab’effujjo ne boogera nti, “Omusajja ono ayinza atya okutulokola?” Ne bamunyooma, era ne batamuwa na birabo. Naye Sawulo n’akisirikira n’atabanyega.

Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi agye yɛn?” Wɔsopaa no a wɔammrɛ no akyɛdeɛ biara. Nanso Saulo ammua wɔn.
