1 USamuyeli wathi kuSawuli, “Mina yimi engathunywa nguThixo ukuthi ngikugcobe ukuba yinkosi yabantu bakhe u-Israyeli; ngakho-ke khathesi lalela ilizwi elivela kuThixo.
Samuel ni Sawl koe BAWIPA ni nang teh na taminaw lathueng Isarelnaw lathueng siangpahrang hanelah satui awi hane na patoun, hatdawkvah atu BAWIPA e lawk ngâi haw.
2 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: ‘Ama-Amaleki ngizawajezisa ngenxa yalokhu akwenzayo ku-Israyeli lapho abacathamela ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe.
Kalvan ransabawi ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah lamlak vah Amaleknaw ni Isarelnaw a ngang awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw hai ka pathung han.
3 Khathesi hamba uyehlasela ama-Amaleki uqede du konke okungokwawo. Ungawayekeli; bulala amadoda labafazi, abantwana lensane, inkomo lezimvu, amakamela kanye labobabhemi.’”

4 Ngakho uSawuli wabiza abantu wababuthanisa eThelayimi, izinkulungwane ezimbili zebutho lezinyawo kanye lamadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi avela koJuda.
Sawl ni taminaw a pâkhueng teh, Telaim vah a touk. Ransanaw 200, 000 touh hoi Judah tami 10, 000 touh a pha.
5 USawuli waya edolobheni lase-Amaleki bacathama edongeni.
Sawl teh Amalek khopui vah a pha teh, tanghling dawk hoi a pawp.
6 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.
Sawl ni Ken taminaw koe, tâcawt awh haw. Amalek taminaw koehoi aloukcalah awm awh. Hottelah hoehpawiteh hmai na thet awh payon vaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi ka tâcawt e pueng na pahren awh, telah ati. Ken taminaw teh Amaleknaw koehoi a tâco awh.
7 Lapho-ke uSawuli wahlasela ama-Amaleki umango wonke kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri, empumalanga kweGibhithe.
Sawl ni Amaleknaw teh Havilah hoi Izip kanîtholah kaawm e Shur kho totouh a thei awh.
8 Wathumba u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki ephila, kodwa bonke abantu bakhe wabaqothula ngokupheleleyo, ngenkemba.
Amalek siangpahrang Agag hai a hring lah a hlung awh teh, a man e pueng tahloi hoi be a thei.
9 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 Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuSamuyeli lisithi,
BAWIPA e lawk Samuel koe a pha teh,
11 “Ngilusizi ngokuthi ngibeke uSawuli waba yinkosi, ngoba usengifulathele njalo kalandelanga imilayo yami.” USamuyeli wakhathazeka, wakhuleka kuThixo bonke lobobusuku.

12 USamuyeli wavuka ekuseni kakhulu ukuba ayebonana loSawuli, kodwa watshelwa ukuthi, “USawuli uye eKhameli. Uzibekele ilitshe lesikhumbuzo sakhe khonale wasephenduka esehlela eGiligali.”

13 Kwathi uSamuyeli esemficile, uSawuli wathi, “Uthixo kakubusise! Sengikwenzile engikulaywe nguThixo.”
Samuel Sawl koe a cei teh Sawl ni BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe e lah na o. BAWIPA e kâpoelawk pueng be ka tarawi telah a ti.
14 Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Pho ukukhala kwezimvu ezindlebeni zami lokhu kuyini na? Kuyini ukubhonsa kwezinkomo lokhu engikuzwayo na?”
Samuel ni hah pawiteh kaie ka hnâ dawk hram pawlawk ka thai e maito parawng lawk hah teh bangtelah atipouh.
15 USawuli waphendula wathi, “Amabutho azilethe zivela kuma-Amaleki; agcine izimvu ezinhle lenkomo ukuba azenze umhlatshelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, kodwa ezinye sizikhucule.”
Sawl ni Amaleknaw koe e hetnaw ka la toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA na Cathut koehoi thuengnae sak nahanelah taminaw ni tu kahawi maito kahawi kahawi a pâhlung awh e doeh, alouknaw teh koung ka thei awh telah a ti.
16 USamuyeli wathi kuSawuli, “Mana! Wothi ngikutshele okutshiwo nguThixo kimi ebusuku obedluleyo.” USawuli waphendula wathi, “Ngitshela.”
Samuel ni Sawl koevah awm ei, paduem tangmin BAWIPA ni kai koe a dei e na dei pouh han atipouh, Sawl ni dei haw atipouh.
17 USamuyeli wasesithi, “Lanxa wazibona umncane, kawuzange ube yinhloko yezizwana zako-Israyeli na? Uthixo wakugcoba ukuba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli.
Samuel ni nange na hmunae lah tami ka thoungca nakunghai, Isarel miphunnaw e lû lah na awm hoeh namaw. Isarel siangpahrang lah BAWIPA ni satui na awi e nahoehmaw.
18 Njalo wakuthuma emsebenzini, esithi, ‘Hamba uyeqothula abantu labayana ababi, ama-Amaleki, uvuse impi labo uze ubaqede du.’

Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi laipalah hnopai na lawp teh BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh na sak telah atipouh.
20 USawuli wathi, “Kodwa mina ngimlalele uThixo. Ngihambile emsebenzini uThixo anginike wona. Ama-Amaleki ngiwaqede du, ngabuya lo-Agagi inkosi yawo.
Sawl ni Samuel koevah BAWIPA e lawk atangcalah ka tarawi toe. BAWIPA ni na patoun e thaw ka tawk teh Amalek siangpahrang Agag ka thokhai teh, Amalek taminaw he ka pâmit.
21 Amabutho athatha izimvu lenkomo empangweni, ezinhle zalezo ezazahlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu, ukuze zenziwe umhlatshelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho eGiligali.”
Taminaw ni BAWIPA na Cathut Koe gilgal kho dawk thueng nahane lawp e hno thung dawk hoi maito, tunaw kahawipoung e ka la toe telah a dei.
22 Kodwa uSamuyeli waphendula wathi: “Kambe uThixo uthokozela iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo ngokunjengokulalela ilizwi likaThixo na? Ukulalela kungcono kulomhlatshelo, lokukhathalela kungcono kulamahwahwa enqama.

23 Ngoba ukuhlamuka kufana lesono sokuhlahlula, lobuqholo bufana lobubi bokukhonza izithombe. Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo ulalile, usekwalile njengenkosi.”

24 USawuli wasesithi kuSamuyeli, “Ngenzile isono. Ngephule umlayo kaThixo leziqondiso zakho. Ngesabe abantu ngavumela okwabo.

25 Khathesi-ke ngiyakucela, thethelela isono sami ubuyele emuva lami, ukuze ngikhonze uThixo.”
Hatdawkvah na pahren nateh ka yonnae ngaithoum haw, BAWIPA ka bawk thai nahanlah bout na bankhai loe atipouh.
26 Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi kuye, “Angiyikubuyela emuva lawe. Ilizwi likaThixo ulalile, njalo uThixo usekwalile njengombusi wako-Israyeli!”
Hatei Samuel ni Sawl koevah, na bankhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na pahnawt toe. BAWIPA ni hai Isarel siangpahrang dawk hoi na pahnawt toe atipouh.
27 Kwathi uSamuyeli ephenduka ukuba asuke, uSawuli wabamba umphetho wesembatho sakhe, sasesidabuka.
Samuel a cei hane a kamlang navah, Sawl ni a hni a kuet pouh teh a pawi a kâphi.
28 USamuyeli wathi kuye, “Uthixo usewudabule kuwe lamhla umbuso wako-Israyeli, njalo usewunike omunye wabomakhelwane bakho, lowo ongcono kulawe.

30 USawuli waphendula wathi, “Ngenzile isono. Kodwa ake ungihloniphe phambi kwabadala babantu bami laphambi kuka-Israyeli; buyela lami, ukuze ngiyekhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.”
Sawl ni ka yon toe. Hateiteh pahren lahoi ka tami kacuenaw e hmalah hoi Isarel hmalah atu barinae na poe haw, BAWIPA na Cathut ka bawk thai nahan na bankhai haw, hottelah a kâhei.
31 Ngakho uSamuyeli wabuyela loSawuli wasekhonza uThixo.

32 USamuyeli wasesithi, “Ngilethelani u-Agagi inkosi yama-Amaleki.” U-Agagi waya kuye ngokwethemba ecabanga esithi, “Impela intukuthelo yokufa isiphelile.”

33 Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Njengoba inkemba yakho yenze abesifazane baswela abantwana, ngokunjalo unyoko kazukuba lomntwana phakathi kwabesifazane.” USamuyeli wambulala u-Agagi phambi kukaThixo eGiligali.

35 USamuyeli kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe engazange ayembona uSawuli futhi, lanxa uSamuyeli wamlilela uSawuli. Uthixo wakhathazeka ngokuthi wayenze uSawuli waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli.
