1 USamuyeli 16
1 INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Koze kube nini umlilela uSawuli lokhu mina ngimalile ekubeni yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli? Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha, uhambe; ngizakuthuma kuJese umBhethelehema, ngoba ngizibonele emadodaneni akhe inkosi.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele: Pak’ombia t’ie mbe handala i Saole kanao fa nadòko tsy ho mpanjaka’ Israele ka? lipolipò menake i tsifa’oy le akia, fa hiraheko mb’am’ Iisay nte-Betlekheme mb’eo fa nijoboñeko mpanjaka ho ahy ty raik’ amo ana’eo.
2 USamuweli wasesithi: Ngizahamba njani? Uba uSawuli ekuzwa, uzangibulala. INkosi yasisithi: Thatha ithokazi lenkomo esandleni sakho uthi: Ngizehlabela iNkosi.
Le hoe t’i Samoele, Akore ty handenàko mb’eo? ke ho rendre’ i Saole, hañohofa’e loza. Le hoe t’Iehovà. Andeso tamana vaho anò ty hoe: Pok’ atoy iraho hanao soroñe am’ Iehovà.
3 Ubizele uJese emhlatshelweni; mina ngizakwazisa ozakwenza; uzangigcobela lowo engizamutsho kuwe.
Kanjio t’Iisay hiatrefa’e i soroñey, le hatoroko azo ze hanoe’o, vaho horiza’o ho ahy ty hitoñonako añarañe.
4 USamuweli wasesenza lokho iNkosi ekutshiloyo, wafika eBhethelehema. Abadala bomuzi basebethuthumela ukumhlangabeza bathi: Ukufika kwakho kulokuthula yini?
Le nanoe’ i Samoele i tsinara’ Iehovày vaho niheo mb’e Betlekheme mb’eo. Le ninevenevetse amy fitotsaha’ey o androanavi’ i rovaio nanao ty hoe: An-kanintsiñe hao ty ivotraha’o atoy?
5 Wasesithi: Ukuthula; ngize ukuhlabela iNkosi; zingcweliseni, lize lami emhlatshelweni. Wasengcwelisa uJese lamadodana akhe, wababizela emhlatshelweni.
Le hoe re, Fañanintsiñe, pok’ eo iraho hisoroñe amy Iehovà; mañefera vatañe, naho mindreza amako mb’ amy soroñey; le nefera’e ka t’Iisay naho o ana’eo vaho nambara’e homb’ amy soroñey.
6 Kwasekusithi ekufikeni kwabo, wakhangela uEliyabi wathi: Isibili ogcotshiweyo wayo uphambi kweNkosi.
Ie nihirike, le nitalare’e t’i Eliabe, nitsakore ty hoe; Toe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo i horìza’ey.
7 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuSamuweli: Ungakhangeli isimo sakhe lobude besithombo sakhe, ngoba ngimalile, ngoba kakunjengokubona komuntu, ngoba umuntu ubona okuphambi kwamehlo, kodwa iNkosi ibona enhliziyeni.
Fe hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele; Ko mandrèndreke ty lahara’e ndra ty haabo’ ty fijohaña’e, amy t’ie fa nadòko; toe tsy ami’ty fahaisaha’ ondatio ro ie, amy te mandrèndreke ty vinta’e alafe’e ondatio, vaho mandrendrek’ arofo t’Iehovà.
8 UJese wasebiza uAbinadaba, wamedlulisa phambi kukaSamuweli, kodwa wathi: Laye lo iNkosi kayimkhethanga.
Kinanji’ Iisay t’i Abinadabe vaho nampiarie’e añatrefa’ i Samoele. Fa hoe re, Tsy jinobo’ Iehovà toke.
9 UJese wasedlulisa uShama, kodwa wathi: Laye lo iNkosi kayimkhethanga.
Nampiarie’ Iisay ama’e ka t’i Samà, fa hoe re, toe tsy jinobo’ Iehovà ka toke.
10 UJese wasedlulisa amadodana akhe ayisikhombisa phambi kukaSamuweli. Kodwa uSamuweli wathi kuJese: INkosi kayibakhethanga laba.
Aa le nampiarie’ Iisay añatrefa’ i Samoele ty ana-dahi’e fito, fa hoe t’i Samoele am’ Iisay, Tsy jinobo’ Iehovà o retoañe.
11 USamuweli wasesithi kuJese: Abafana sebephelile yini? Wasesithi: Kusasele icinathunjana; khangela-ke, liyelusa izimvu. USamuweli wasesithi kuJese: Thuma ulithathe, ngoba kasiyikuhlala phansi lize lifike lapha.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’Iisay, Etoañ’ iaby hao o ana’oo? le hoe re: Mbe añe ty tsitso’e; toe miarak’ añondry. Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ Iisay: Ampañitrifo; fa tsy hivory tika ampara’ t’ie pok’eo.
12 Wasethuma walingenisa. Lona-ke lalibomvana lilamehlo amahle lokukhangeleka okuhle. INkosi yasisithi: Sukuma, uligcobe, ngoba yilo leli.
Aa le nampañitrife’e naho nampizilihe’e. Volovoloen-dre, niloeloe o maso’eo naho naràm-bintañe; vaho hoe t’Iehovà: Miongaha orizo, ie toke.
13 USamuweli wasethatha uphondo lwamafutha, waligcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; uMoya weNkosi wasefika ngamandla phezu kukaDavida kusukela kulolosuku kusiya phambili. USamuweli wasesukuma waya eRama.
Aa le rinambe’ i Samoele i tsifa ama’ menakey naho noriza’e añivo’ o longo’eo; vaho namparingatse i Davide henane zay ty Arofo’ Iehovà. Le niongake t’i Samoele nimb’ e Ramà mb’eo.
14 Kodwa uMoya weNkosi wasuka kuSawuli, lomoya omubi ovela eNkosini wamhlukuluza.
Ie amy zao, fa nienga i Saole ty Arofo’ Iehovà, vaho nañangara’ ty fañahy raty boak’ am’ Iehovà.
15 Izinceku zikaSawuli zasezisithi kuye: Ake ukhangele, umoya omubi kaNkulunkulu uyakwesabisa.
Le hoe o mpitoro’ i Saoleo ama’e: Eo hey, toe fañahy raty boak’ aman’ Añahare ty mañangatse azo henaneo;
16 Ake itsho inkosi yethu kunceku zakho eziphambi kwakho ukuthi zidinge umuntu okwaziyo ukutshaya ichacho; kuzakuthi-ke lapho umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu uphezu kwakho, uzatshaya ngesandla sakhe ukuze kube kuhle kuwe.
ee te hafanto’ i talè’ay henaneo o mpitoro’e miatrek’ azeo, ty hitsoeke mpititike maro-taly mahimbañe; aa ie mañangats’ ama’o i fañahy raty boak’ aman’ Añaharey, le hititiha’e am-pità’e, hampanintsiñ’ azo.
17 Ngakho uSawuli wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Ake lingibonele umuntu otshaya kuhle, limlethe kimi.
Le hoe t’i Saole amo mpitoro’eo: Paiao ho ahy henaneo t’indaty mahafititike, le endeso mb’amako mb’etoa.
18 Omunye wamajaha wasephendula wathi: Khangela, ngibone indodana kaJese umBhethelehema, ekwaziyo ukutshaya, futhi eliqhawe elilamandla, lendoda yempi, lehlakaniphileyo endabeni, futhi indoda ebukekayo, leNkosi ilayo.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ ty ajalahy, Inao, nitrea’ay ty ana’ Iisay nte-Betlekheme, mpititike mahay, ie fanalolahy naho lahindefoñe, mahity am-pitoloñañe, ondaty soa vintañe vaho ama’e t’Iehovà.
19 Ngakho uSawuli wathuma izithunywa kuJese, wathi: Thuma kimi uDavida indodana yakho osezimvini.
Aa le nahitri’ i Saole am’Iisay ty hoe: Iraho mb’ amako mb’etoa i Davide ana’o mpiarak’ añondriy.
20 UJese wasethatha ubabhemi, ethwele isinkwa, lembodlela yewayini, lezinyane lembuzi elilodwa, wakuthumela ngesandla sikaDavida indodana yakhe kuSawuli.
Le nandrambe borìke t’Iisay naho nampilogologoe’e mofo naho ty zonjòn-divay naho ty vik’ose vaho nampihitrife’e mb’ amy Saole mb’eo añamy Davide, ana’e.
21 UDavida wasefika kuSawuli, wema phambi kwakhe; wasemthanda kakhulu, wasesiba ngumthwali wezikhali zakhe.
Nimb’ amy Saole mb’eo t’i Davide naho nijohañe añatrefa’e; le vata’e nikokoa’e; vaho nanoe’e mpinday ty fikala’e.
22 USawuli wasethumela kuJese esithi: UDavida ake eme phambi kwami, ngoba uthole umusa emehlweni ami.
Le nahitri’ i Saole am’ Iisay ty hoe: Ehe, iantofo te hijohañe añatrefako t’i Davide, ie nanjo fañisohañe am-pahatreavako.
23 Kwakusithi-ke lapho umoya ovela kuNkulunkulu uphezu kukaSawuli, uDavida athathe ichacho atshaye ngesandla sakhe, ukuze uSawuli avuseleleke abe ngcono, lomoya omubi usuke kuye.
Aa ndra mb’ia nañangaram-pañahy boak’ aman’ Añahare t’i Saole le rinambe’ i Davide i marovaniy naho nititihe’e am-pità’e; le nitotòtse t’i Saole, vaho nanintsiñe fa nisitak’ ama’e i anga-dratiy.
