1 Saamuʼeel 11
1 Naahaash namichi Amoon sun ol baʼee Yaabeesh Giliʼaadin marse. Namoonni Yaabeesh hundinuus Naaʼaashiin, “Kottu walii galtee godhannaa; nus siif hojjennaa” jedhan.
UNahashi umʼAmoni wasuka wayivimbezela iJabheshi Giliyadi. Bonke abantu baseJabheshi bathi kuye, “Yenza isivumelwano lathi, thina sizakuba ngaphansi kwakho.”
2 Naahaash namichi Amoon garuu, “Ani kanan isin wajjin walii galtee godhadhu yoo ija mirgaa tokkoo tokkoo keessanii isin keessaa baasee akkasiin Israaʼel hunda salphise qofa” jedhee deebiseef.
Kodwa uNahashi umʼAmoni waphendula wathi, “Ngizakwenza isivumelwano lani kuphela nxa kuyikuthi ngizakhupha ilihlo lesandla sokunene emuntwini wonke wakini ukuze u-Israyeli wonke ngimlethele ihlazo.”
3 Maanguddoonni Yaabeesh immoo, “Akka nu guutummaa Israaʼel keessa ergamoota ergannuuf guyyaa torba nuuf obsi; yoo namni nu oolchu tokko iyyuu jiraachuu baate nu siif bulla” isaan jedhan.
Abadala baseJabheshi bathi kuye, “Sinike insuku eziyisikhombisa ukuze sithume izithunywa kulolonke elako-Israyeli; nxa engekho ozasihlenga sizazinikela kuwe.”
4 Ergamoonni kunneenis yommuu gara Gibeʼaa iddoo Saaʼol jiraatu dhufanii waan kana namootatti himanitti, namoonni hundi sagalee ol fudhatanii ni booʼan.
Kwathi izithunywa sezifike eGibhiya kaSawuli njalo zabika izimiso lezi ebantwini bonke bakhala kakhulu.
5 Yeroo sanatti Saaʼol sangoota isaa oofaa iddoo qonnaatii gala ture; innis, “Sabni kun maal taʼee booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis waan namoonni Yaabeesh jedhan sana isatti himan.
Ngalesosikhathi uSawuli wayevela emasimini, engemuva kwenkabi zakhe, wasebuza esithi, “Kuyini okonakeleyo ebantwini? Kungani bekhala?” Bamlandisela okwakutshiwo ngabantu baseJabheshi.
6 Yeroo Saaʼol dubbii kana dhagaʼettis Hafuurri Waaqaa humnaan isa irra buʼe; innis aaree bobaʼe.
Kwathi uSawuli esezwe amazwi abo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe ngamandla, wathukuthela kakhulu.
7 Innis sangoota cimdii tokko fuudhee kukkutee foon isaanii harka ergamootaatti erguudhaan, “Sangoonni nama Saaʼolii fi Saamuʼeelin duukaa hin buune kamii iyyuu akkas taʼu” jedhee guutummaa Israaʼel keessa labse. Sodaachifni Waaqayyoos waan nama hunda qabateef namni hundinuu akkuma nama tokkootti baʼe.
Wathatha inkabi ezimbili, waziquma zaba yiziqayiqa, wathumela iziqa lezithunywa kulolonke elako-Israyeli, zimemezela zisithi, “Lokhu yikho okuzakwenziwa enkabini zikabani lobani ongalandeli uSawuli loSamuyeli.” Ukwesabeka kukaThixo kwehlela ebantwini, baphuma sebenjengomuntu munye.
8 Saaʼol iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti walitti isaan qabe; baayʼinni Israaʼelootaa kuma dhibba sadii, kan warra Yihuudaa immoo kuma soddoma ture.
Kwathi uSawuli esebaqoqile eBhezekhi, abantu bako-Israyeli babezinkulungwane ezintathu, abakoJuda bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
9 Isaanis ergamoota dhufan sanaan, “Namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaadiin, ‘Bor yeroo aduun hoʼutti bilisa baatu’ jedhaatii itti himaa” jedhaniin. Yommuu ergamoonni sun dhaqanii waan kana isaanitti odeessanitti warri Yaabeesh akka malee gammadan.
Batshela izithunywa ezazifikile bathi, “Tshelani abantu baseJabheshi Giliyadi ukuthi, ‘Kuzakuthi ilanga selitshisa kusasa, lina lizakuba selihlengiwe.’” Kwathi izithunywa sezihambe zayabika lokhu ebantwini baseJabheshi, bathokoza.
10 Isaanis namoota Amooniin, “Nu bor harka keenya isinitti kennanna; isin waan isinitti gaarii fakkaate hunda nu gochuu ni dandeessu” jedhan.
Basebesithi kuma-Amoni, “Kusasa sizazinikela kini, njalo lingenza kithi loba kuyini okukhanya kukuhle kini.”
11 Guyyaa itti aanutti Saaʼol namoota isaa garee sadiitti qoode; gara barii halkaniittis dallaa Amoonotaa cabsanii seenuudhaan hamma lafti hoʼutti isaan qalan. Kanneen hafan immoo gargar faffacaʼan; isaan keessaas namni lama iyyuu wal biratti hin hafne.
Ngelanga elalandelayo uSawuli wehlukanisa abantu bakhe baba ngamaviyo amathathu; kwathi ngomlindo wokucina ebusuku bafohlela ezihonqweni zama-Amoni bawabulala ilanga laze latshisa. Lawo aphephayo ahlakazeka, akwaze kwaba lamabili awo asala endawonye.
12 Ergasiis namoonni Saamuʼeeliin, “Warri, ‘Saaʼol nurratti mootii taʼuu hin qabu’ jedhan eenyu faʼi? Namoota kanneen nuu fidi ni ajjeefnaatii” jedhan.
Abantu basebesithi kuSamuyeli, “Ngubani owabuza wathi, ‘USawuli uzasibusa na?’ Balethe kithi labobantu sibabulale.”
13 Saaʼol garuu, “Guyyaan kun gaafa itti Waaqayyo Israaʼelin baraare waan taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu harʼa hin ajjeefamu” jedhe.
Kodwa uSawuli wathi, “Kakho ozabulawa lamhla, ngoba ngalolusuku uThixo umhlengile u-Israyeli.”
14 Saamuʼeel immoo namootaan, “Kottaa Gilgaal dhaqnee mootii taʼuu isaa achitti mirkaneessinaa” jedhe.
USamuyeli wasesithi ebantwini, “Wozani, kasiyeni eGiligali siyeqinisa ubukhosi khona.”
15 Kanaafuu namoonni hundinuu gara Gilgaal dhaqanii Saaʼol mootii taʼuu isaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti mirkaneessan. Aarsaa nagaas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessan; Saaʼolii fi sabni Israaʼel hundis guddaa gammadan.
Ngakho abantu bonke baya eGiligali bambeka uSawuli ukuba yinkosi phambi kukaThixo. Bahlaba khona imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula, njalo uSawuli labantu bonke bako-Israyeli baba lomkhosi omkhulu wokuthokoza.
