1 Samwiri 16

1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Olituusa ddi okunakuwala olwa Sawulo, ate nga nze sikyamubala kuba kabaka wa Isirayiri? Jjuza ejjembe lyo amafuta nkutume eri Yese Omubesirekemu kubanga nnonze omu ku batabani be okuba kabaka.”

Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Samuel niya, “Ibiro kuyo ne wach Saulo nyaka karangʼo nikech asedage mondo kik obed ruodh Israel? Pongʼ tungʼ mari gi mo mondo ichak wuoth; aori ka Jesse ma ja-Bethlehem. Aseyiero achiel kuom yawuote mondo obed ruoth.”

2 Naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Nnaagenda ntya? Sawulo bw’anakiwulira ajja kunzita.” Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Weetwalire ennyana oyogere nti, ‘Nzize kuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.’

To Samuel nopenje niya, “Dadhi nade? Saulo biro winjo wachno to obiro nega.” Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kaw nyaroya idhigo kendo iwachne ni abiro timo misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.

3 Yita Yese ajje okuwaayo ssaddaaka, nzija kukulaga eky’okukola. Ojja kufuka amafuta ku oyo gwe nnaaba nnonze.”

Luong Jesse e sawo mar misango, to abiro nyisi gima onego itim. Ibiro wirona ngʼat mabiro nyisi.”

4 Samwiri n’akola ekyo Mukama kye yamulagira. Bwe yatuuka e Besirekemu abakulu b’ekibuga ne bakankana olw’okutya bwe baamusisinkana era ne bamubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe?”

Samuel notimo gima Jehova Nyasaye nowacho. Kane ochopo Bethlehem, to jodong dala ne luoro omako kane giromo kode. Negipenje niya, “Bende ibiro e yor kwe?”

5 N’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo, mirembe. Nzize okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama. Mwetukuze tugende ffenna tuweeyo ssaddaaka.” N’atukuza Yese ne batabani be, n’abayita okujja okuwaayo ssaddaaka.

Samuel nodwoko niya, “Ee, abiro e yor kwe. Asebiro mondo atim misango ni Jehova Nyasaye. Pwodhreuru mondo ubi e misango koda.” Eka nopwodho Jesse gi yawuote mi noluongogi e timo misangono.

6 Bwe baatuuka n’atunuulira Eriyaabu, n’alowooza nti, “Mazima Mukama ono gw’afuseeko amafuta, era y’ayimiridde kaakano mu maaso ga Mukama.”

Kane gichopo, Samuel noneno Eliab moparo niya, “Adier ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowiro eri ochungʼ ka e nyime.”

7 Naye Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Totunuulira nfaanana ye wadde obuwanvu bwe, kubanga si gwe nnonze. Mukama tatunuulira ebyo abantu bye batunuulira. Abantu batunuulira bya kungulu naye Mukama atunuulira bya mu mutima.”

To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Samuel niya, “Kik ingʼi ber mar dende kata borne nikech asedage. Jehova Nyasaye ok ngʼi gik ma dhano ngʼiyo. Dhano ngʼiyo ber ma oko, Jehova Nyasaye to ngʼiyo chuny.”

8 Awo Yese n’ayita Abinadaabu, n’amuyisa mu maaso ga Samwiri. Naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Oyo naye Mukama si gw’alonze.”

Eka Jesse noluongo Abinadab kendo nokete okadho e nyim Samuel. Samuel to nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok oyiero kata ngʼatni.”

9 Yese n’ayita Samma n’amusimbawo, naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Era n’oyo Mukama si gw’alonze.”

Eka Jesse noketo Shama mondo okadhi, to Samuel nowacho niya, “Kata mana ngʼatni bende Jehova Nyasaye ok oyiero.”

10 Yese n’ayisa batabani be omusanvu mu maaso ga Samwiri, naye Samwiri n’amugamba nti, “Ku bo tekuli n’omu Mukama gw’alonze.”

Jesse noketo yawuote abiriyo okadho e nyim Samuel mi Samuel nowachone ni onge ngʼama Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero kuomgi.

11 N’abuuza Yese nti, “Bano be batabani bo bokka?” Yese n’addamu nti, “Ekyasigaddeyo asingira ddala obuto, alunda ndiga.” Samwiri n’agamba Yese nti, “Mutumye; tetujja kuweera okutuusa lw’anajja.”

Omiyo nopenjo Jesse niya, “Magi kende e yawuoti?” Jesse nodwoko niya, “Pod nitiere wuowi ma chogo, en to okwayo rombe.” Samuel nowachone niya, “Or ngʼato mondo oome, nikech ok wabi bet piny ka kapok ochopo.”

12 N’amutumya, n’aleetebwa. Yali mumyufu, n’amaaso ge nga malungi, era ng’alabika bulungi nnyo. Awo Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Golokoka omufukeko amafuta; ye wuuyo.”

Ne ooro jaote mine okele. Ne en silwal man-gi ngima maber, ne dende nenore maber kendo ne en jachia. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Chungi iwire gi mo; nikech ngʼatni e en.”

13 Awo Samwiri n’addira ejjembe ly’amafuta, n’agamufukako mu maaso ga baganda be. Okuva ku lunaku olwo Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akka ku Dawudi mu maanyi mangi. Oluvannyuma Samwiri n’addayo e Laama.

Omiyo Samuel nokawo tungʼne mar mo mine owire e nyim owetene kendo kochakore chiengʼno Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Daudi gi teko. Bangʼe Samuel to nodok Rama.

14 Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda yali avudde ku Sawulo, omwoyo omubi ogwava eri Mukama ne gumucoccanga.

Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye noseweyo Saulo kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo thuolo mondo roho marach othage.

15 Awo abaweereza ba Sawulo ne bamuleetera ekiteeso nti, “Laba, omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda gukucocca.

Jotich Saulo nowachone niya, “Ngʼe ni roho marach machandini, Nyasaye ema ochiwone thuolo.

16 Mukama waffe alagire abaweereza be kaakano okumunoonyeza omuntu asobola okukuba entongooli. Omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda bwe gunaabanga gukusseeko, bw’anagikubanga n’oddamu endasi, onoowuliranga bulungi n’okkakkana.”

We ruodhwa ochik jotichne man kagi mondo odwar ngʼat manyalo goyo nyatiti. Obiro goye e kindeno ma roho marach ma Nyasaye omiyo thuolo obiro kuomi to iniwinj maber.”

17 Awo Sawulo n’alagira abaweereza be nti, “Munfunireyo omuntu asobola okukuba entongooli obulungi, mumundeetere.”

Eka Saulo nowachone jotije niya, “Dwaruru ngʼat magoyo thum maber mondo ukelna.”

18 Omu ku baweereza n’addamu nti, “Waliwo mutabani wa Yese Omubesirekemu gwe nalaba asobola okukuba entongooli obulungi. Musajja muzira era mulwanyi, ate nga mwogezi mulungi, era alabika bulungi. Ate Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.”

Achiel kuom jotich nodwoko niya, “Aseneno wuod Jesse moro ma ja-Bethlehem mongʼeyo goyo nyatiti. En ngʼat ma jachir bende en jalweny. Owuoyo maber kendo en jaber. To bende Jehova Nyasaye ni kode.”

19 Awo Sawulo n’atuma ababaka eri Yese, ng’agamba nti, “Mpeereza mutabani wo Dawudi, alabirira endiga.”

Eka Saulo nooro joote ir Jesse kawacho niya, “Orna wuodi Daudi makwayo rombe.”

20 Yese n’addira endogoyi n’agitikka emigaati, n’eccupa y’envinnyo n’omwana gw’embuzi, n’abiweereza wamu ne mutabani we Dawudi eri Sawulo.

Eka Jesse nokawo punda mokawo makati oketo e ngʼeye, ndede mar divai kod nyadiel mi nooro Daudi ma wuode oterone Saulo.

21 Dawudi n’atuuka eri Sawulo, n’afuuka omu ku baweereza be. Sawulo n’amwagala nnyo, era n’amufuula omu ku abo abaasitulanga ebyokulwanyisa bye.

Daudi nobiro ir Saulo mi nodonjo mochako tiyone. Saulo nohere ahinya, kendo Daudi nobedo achiel kuom jatingʼne gige lweny.

22 Awo Sawulo n’atumira Yese ng’agamba nti, “Kkiriza Dawudi asigale ng’omu ku baweereza bange, kubanga nsiimye by’ankolera.”

Eka Saulo nooro wach ni Jesse, kowacho niya, “Yie mondo Daudi obed jatija, nikech amor kode.”

23 Awo buli omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda lwe gw’ajjanga ku Sawulo, Dawudi n’amukubiranga entongooli, Sawulo n’akkakkana, era n’awulira bulungiko, n’omwoyo omubi ne gumuvaako.

E kinde duto ma Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuom Saulo, Daudi to ne kawo nyatiti kendo goyo. Saulo ne yudo kwe; kendo nochako winjo maber, eka roho marach ne weye.
