1 Samwiri 8
1 Samwiri bwe yakaddiwa, n’alonda batabani be okuba abalamuzi ba Isirayiri.
Kwasekusithi uSamuweli esemdala wabeka amadodana akhe ukuze abe ngabahluleli koIsrayeli.
2 Erinnya lya mutabani we omukulu ye yali Yoweeri, n’owokubiri nga ye Abiya, ne balamulanga mu Beeruseba.
Lebizo lendodana yakhe elizibulo lalinguJoweli, lebizo leyesibili yakhe linguAbhiya; ayengabahluleli eBherishebha.
3 Naye batabani be ne batagoberera mpisa ze, ne bakyama ne banoonya amagoba, ne balya enguzi, era nga tebalamula mu bwenkanya.
Kodwa amadodana akhe ayengahambi ngendlela zakhe, kodwa aphambukela enzuzweni embi, emukela isivalamlomo, aphambula isahlulelo.
4 Awo abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaana ne bajja eri Samwiri e Laama,
Kwasekubuthana abadala bonke bakoIsrayeli, beza kuSamuweli eRama,
5 ne bamugamba nti, “Laba, okaddiye ne batabani bo tebagoberera mpisa zo, kaakano tulondere kabaka anaatukulemberanga, tubeere ng’amawanga amalala gonna.”
bathi kuye: Khangela, wena usumdala, lamadodana akho kawahambi ngendlela zakho; ngakho sibekele inkosi ukuze isahlulele njengazo zonke izizwe.
6 Naye bwe baayogera nti, “Tuwe kabaka anaatukulemberanga,” ne kitasanyusa Samwiri. Samwiri n’asaba eri Mukama.
Kodwa leyonto yayimbi emehlweni kaSamuweli lapho besithi: Sinike inkosi ukusahlulela. USamuweli wasekhuleka eNkosini.
7 Awo Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Wuliriza ebigambo byonna abantu bye bakugamba. Tebajeemedde ggwe, naye bajeemedde nze nneme kuba kabaka waabwe.
INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Lalela ilizwi labantu kukho konke abakutshoyo kuwe, ngoba kakusuwe abakwalayo, kodwa bala mina ukuze ngingabusi phezu kwabo.
8 Okusinziira ku bikolwa byabwe okuva ku lunaku lwe nabaggya mu Misiri okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero, bwe banjeemera, ne baweereza bakatonda abalala, nawe bwe batyo bwe bakuyisa.
Ngokwezenzo zonke abazenzileyo kusukela ngosuku engabenyusa ngalo eGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla, bangitshiyile bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu; benza njalo lakuwe.
9 Kaakano bawulirize, naye obalabulire ddala, era obategeeze ebintu byonna kabaka anaabafuga by’alibakola.”
Ngakho khathesi, lalela ilizwi labo; kodwa nxa ubafakazele kakhulu, ubazise indlela yenkosi ezabusa phezu kwabo.
10 Awo Samwiri n’ategeeza abantu abaali bamusaba kabaka, ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yamugamba.
USamuweli wasetshela abantu abacela kuye inkosi wonke amazwi eNkosi.
11 N’abagamba nti, “Bino bye bintu kabaka alibafuga by’alibakola: alitwala batabani bammwe n’abafuula abagoba ab’amagaali ge n’abeebagazi ab’embalaasi ze, n’abamu okuddukiranga mu maaso ag’amagaali ge.
Wasesithi: Le izakuba yindlela yenkosi ezabusa phezu kwenu; izathatha amadodana enu izibekele wona enqoleni zayo lakubagadi bamabhiza ayo, agijime phambi kwezinqola zayo.
12 Abamu ku bo alibafuula abaduumizi b’enkumi, n’abalala n’abafuula abaduumizi b’ataano, n’abalala okumulimiranga ennimiro ze n’okuzikungulanga, n’abalala okuweesanga ebyokulwanyisa n’ebintu eby’amagaali ge.
Izazibekela wona abe yizinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamatshumi amahlanu, lokulima amasimu ayo, lokuvuna isivuno sayo, lokwenza izikhali zayo zempi, lezikhali zezinqola zayo.
13 Alitwala bawala bammwe, okumuteekerateekera ebyakaloosa, n’okumufumbiranga, n’okumukoleranga emigaati.
Izathatha amadodakazi enu iwenze abe ngabenzi bamakha, labapheki, labaphekizinkwa.
14 Alitwala ennimiro zammwe ennungi, n’ennimiro zammwe ez’emizabbibu n’ez’emizeeyituuni, n’aziwa abaweereza be.
Izathatha amasimu enu, lezivini zenu lezivande zenu zemihlwathi, ezinhle, ikunike inceku zayo.
15 Alitwala ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’emmere yammwe ey’empeke, n’eky’ennimiro zammwe ez’emizabbibu, n’akigabira abakungu be n’abaweereza be.
Izathatha okwetshumi yenhlanyelo yenu leyezivini zenu, iyinike induna zayo lenceku zayo.
16 Alitwala abaweereza bammwe abasajja n’abaweereza bammwe abakazi, n’abavubuka bammwe abasinga obulungi n’endogoyi, n’abyeddiza.
Izathatha inceku zenu lencekukazi zenu lamajaha enu angcono labobabhemi benu, ikusebenzise emsebenzini wayo.
17 Alitwala ekimu eky’ekkumi ku bisibo byammwe, mmwe n’abafuula abaweereza be.
Izathatha okwetshumi kwemihlambi yenu; lina-ke libe yizinceku zayo.
18 Luliba lumu, mulyekkokkola kabaka wammwe gwe mwerondera, naye Mukama talibafaako ku lunaku olwo.”
Njalo lizakhala ngalolosuku ngenxa yenkosi yenu elizikhethele yona; kodwa iNkosi kayiyikuliphendula mhlalokho.
19 Naye abantu ne bagaana okuwuliriza Samwiri, ne boogera nti, “Nedda! Twagala kabaka okutufuga,
Kodwa abantu bala ukulilalela ilizwi likaSamuweli, bathi: Hatshi, kodwa kuzakuba lenkosi phezu kwethu,
20 naffe tubeere ng’amawanga amalala gonna, nga tulina kabaka atufuga ayinza okutukulembera n’atulwanira entalo zaffe.”
ukuze lathi sibe njengezizwe zonke, lenkosi yethu isahlulele, iphume phambi kwethu, ilwe izimpi zethu.
21 Awo Samwiri bwe yawulira ebigambo byonna eby’abantu, n’abiddiramu Mukama.
USamuweli esewazwile wonke amazwi abantu, wawalandisa endlebeni zeNkosi.
22 Mukama n’addamu Samwiri nti, “Bawulirize obalondere kabaka.” Awo Samwiri n’agamba abantu ba Isirayiri nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe addeyo ewuwe.”
INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Lalela ilizwi labo, ubabekele inkosi. USamuweli wasesithi emadodeni akoIsrayeli: Hambani liye ngulowo lalowo emzini wakhe.
