1 Saamuʼeel 13
1 Saaʼol yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa soddoma ture; innis waggaa afurtamii lama Israaʼelin bulche.
USawuli waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu ubudala bakhe, njalo wabusa u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane lambili.
2 Saaʼol namoota kuma sadii Israaʼel keessaa filate; kumni lama Mikmaasii fi biyya gaaraa Beetʼeelitti Saaʼol wajjin, kumni tokko immoo biyya Beniyaam keessatti Gibeʼaatti Yoonaataan wajjin turan. Namoota kaan garuu gara mana mana isaaniitti deebise.
USawuli wakhetha abantu abazinkulungwane ezintathu ko-Israyeli; abazinkulungwane ezimbili babelaye eMikhimashi laselizweni lezintaba eleBhetheli, njalo abayinkulungwane babeloJonathani eGibhiya koBhenjamini. Bonke abasalayo wababuyisela emakhaya abo.
3 Yoonaataan qubata waraana Filisxeemotaa kan Gibeʼaa keessa ture sana dhaʼe; Filisxeemonnis waaʼee kanaa dhagaʼan. Kana irratti Saaʼol, “Ibroonni hundinuu haa dhagaʼani!” jedhee biyyattii guutuu keessatti malakata afuufsise.
UJonathani wahlasela inkamba yamabutho amaFilistiya eGebha, njalo amaFilistiya akuzwa lokho. Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi kakukhaliswe icilongo kulolonke ilizwe wathi, “AmaHebheru kawezwe!”
4 Israaʼel hundinuus oduu, “Saaʼol qubata waraana Filisxeemotaa dhaʼeera; Israaʼelis Filisxeemota biratti balfameera” jedhu dhagaʼan. Namoonnis Saaʼol duukaa buʼuuf Gilgaalitti walitti qabaman.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wonke wayizwa indaba yokuthi: “USawuli usehlasele inkamba yamabutho amaFilistiya, njalo u-Israyeli khathesi useyisinengiso kumaFilistiya.” Njalo abantu babizwa ukuba bayehlanganyela loSawuli eGiligali.
5 Filisxeemonnis Israaʼeloota waraanuuf gaariiwwan kuma soddoma, namoota gaarii oofan kuma jaʼaa fi loltoota akka cirracha galaanaa baayʼataniin hiriiran. Ol baʼaniis karaa baʼa Beet Aawwen iddoo Mikmaas jedhamu qubatan.
AmaFilistiya abuthana ukuthi alwe lo-Israyeli ngezinqola zempi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye lamabutho ayemanengi njengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle. Ahamba ayamisa eMikhimashi, empumalanga kweBhethi-Aveni.
6 Namoonni Israaʼel yommuu akka haalli isaan keessa jiran sodaachisaa taʼee fi akka loltoonni isaanii sardamaa jiran arganitti holqa keessa, qoraattii keessa, kattaa keessa, bowwaa keessaa fi boolla keessa dhokatan.
Kwathi abantu bako-Israyeli bebona ukuthi umumo wabo wawusumubi lokuthi ibutho labo lalincindezelwe kanzima, bacatsha ezimbalwini lasemajukujukwini, laphakathi kwamadwala, emilindini lasemigodini.
7 Ibroonni tokko tokko immoo Yordaanos ceʼanii biyya Gaadii fi Giliʼaad dhaqan. Saaʼol garuu Gilgaalitti hafe; loltoonni isa wajjin turan hundinuus sodaadhaan hollachaa turan.
Amanye amaHebheru aze achaphela elizweni lakoGadi kanye leGiliyadi. USawuli wasala eGiligali, njalo wonke amabutho ayelaye ayeqhuqha ngenxa yokwesaba.
8 Innis akkuma yeroo Saamuʼeel murteesse sanaatti bultii torba eege; Saamuʼeel garuu gara Gilgaal hin dhufne; namoonni Saaʼolis bibittinnaaʼuu jalqaban.
Walinda insuku eziyisikhombisa, isikhathi esasimiswe nguSamuyeli; kodwa uSamuyeli kezanga eGiligali; yikho abantu bakaSawuli baqalisa ukuchitheka.
9 Saaʼolis, “Aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa as naa fidaa” jedhe. Innis aarsaa gubamu ni dhiʼeesse.
Ngakho wathi, “Ngilethelani umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yobuzalwane.” USawuli wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
10 Akkuma Saaʼol aarsaa dhiʼeessee xumureen Saamuʼeel dhufe. Saaʼolis isa simachuuf gad baʼe.
Kwathi khonokho nje eqeda ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, uSamuyeli wafika, uSawuli waphuma wayambingelela.
11 Saamuʼeel, “Ati maal gochuu kee ti?” jedhee gaafate. Saaʼolis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Ani yeroon akka sabni bibittinnaaʼe, akka ati yeroo murteeffametti hin dhufinii fi akka Filisxeemonni Mikmaasitti walitti qabaman argetti,
USamuyeli wabuza wathi, “Kuyini osukwenzile na?” USawuli waphendula wathi, “Kuthe ngibona abantu sebechitheka, lokuthi kawufikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, kanye lokuthi amaFilistiya abebuthana eMikhimashi,
12 ‘Filisxeemonni Gilgaalitti natti dhufan; anis surraa Waaqayyoo hin kadhanne’ jedheen yaade. Kanaafuu aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuun dirqama natti taʼe.”
ngacabanga ngathi, ‘Khathesi amaFilistiya azakuzangihlasela eGiligali, njalo kangicelanga umusa kuThixo.’ Ngakho ngizwe ngincindezeleka ukuba nginikele umnikelo wokutshiswa.”
13 Saamuʼeelis akkana jedhe; “Ati waan siif hin malle hojjete; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kenne hin eegne; utuu ajaja isaa eegdee jiraattee inni mootummaa kee Israaʼel irratti jabeessee bara baraan ni dhaaba ture.
USamuyeli wathi, “Wenze ubuthutha. Kawuwugcinanga umlayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akupha wona; aluba ubukwenzile lokho, ubezamisa umbuso wakho phezu kuka-Israyeli kokuphela.
14 Amma garuu mootummaan kee jabaatee hin dhaabatu; Waaqayyo nama akka fedhii garaa isaa taʼe argateera; sababii ati ajaja Waaqayyoo hin eeginiif inni dura deemaa saba isaa godhatee isa muudateera.”
Kodwa umbuso wakho kawuyikuqhubeka; uThixo usedinge indoda emthandayo ngenhliziyo yakhe wambeka ukuba ngumbusi wabantu bakhe, ngoba wena kawuwugcinanga umlayo kaThixo.”
15 Ergasii Saamuʼeel Gilgaal dhiisee gara Gibeʼaa ishee biyya Beniyaam keessatti argamtuutti ol baʼe; Saaʼolis namoota isa wajjin turan ni lakkaaʼe. Baayʼinni isaaniis gara nama dhibba jaʼa ture.
Emva kwalokho uSamuyeli wasuka eGiligali waya eGibhiya koBhenjamini, uSawuli wasebala abantu ababelaye. Babengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha.
16 Yeroo Filisxeemonni Mikmaas keessa qubatanii turanitti Saaʼol, ilmi isaa Yoonaataanii fi namoonni isaan wajjin turan biyya Beniyaam Gibeʼaa keessa turan.
USawuli lendodana yakhe uJonathani kanye labantu ayelabo babehlala eGibhiya koBhenjamini, amaFilistiya emise izihonqo eMikhimashi.
17 Gareen weerartootaa iddoo sadiitti qoodamanii qubata Filisxeemotaatii baʼan. Gareen tokko gara Ofraa kan biyya Shuuʼaali keessa jiru sanaatti qajeele;
Amaqembu abahlaseli aphuma ezihonqweni zamaFilistiya ngezigaba ezintathu. Elinye laqonda e-Ofira eduze leShuwali,
18 gareen lammaffaan karaa Beet Horoonitti, gareen sadaffaan immoo karaa daarii irraangadee Sulula Zebooʼiim kan fuullee gammoojjiitti geessu irra buʼe.
elinye laqonda eBhethi-Horoni, kwathi elesithathu laqonda endaweni esemngceleni ngaphezu kweSigodi saseZebhoyimi malungana lenkangala.
19 Sababii Filisxeemonni, “Ibroonni goraadee yookaan eeboo ofii isaaniitiif hin tumsiifatin!” jedhanii turaniif Israaʼel hunda keessatti namni sibiila tumu tokko iyyuu hin argamne.
Akulamkhandi wensimbi owayengatholakala kulolonke elako-Israyeli, ngoba amaFilistiya ayethe, “Mhlawumbe amaHebheru azakwenza izinkemba kumbe imikhonto.”
20 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hundi maarashaa isaanii, gasoo isaanii, dhagaraa fi haamtuu isaanii qarsiifachuuf gara Filisxeemotaatti gad buʼan.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wonke waya kumaFilistiya ukuyalola amakhuba akhe, lamamatoki, lamahloka kanye amasikela.
21 Gatiin ittiin maarashaa fi gasoo qarsiifatan saqilii tokko irraa harka sadii keessaa harka lama; qorbii, dhagaraa fi meeshaa ittiin qotiyyoo tuttuqan qarsiifachuuf immoo saqilii tokko irraa harka sadii keessaa harka tokko kaffalu turan.
Imbadalo yokulolisa amakhuba lamamatoki yayingokubili kokuthathu kweshekeli, njalo ingokukodwa kokuthathu kweshekeli ukulola amafologwe lamahloka kanye lokucijisa izijujo.
22 Kanaafuu guyyaa waraanaa Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan malee loltuun tokko iyyuu goraadee yookaan eeboo hin qabu ture.
Ngakho ngosuku lwempi akulabutho elaliloSawuli loJonathani elalilenkemba kumbe umkhonto esandleni salo; uSawuli loJonathani kuphela yibo ababelakho.
23 Gaafuma sana gareen Filisxeemotaa tokko gara malkaa Mikmaasitti gad buʼe.
Ngalesisikhathi amaFilistiya ayesephume aya emkhandlwini waseMikhimashi.
