1 Saamuʼeel 16
1 Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Saaʼol isa ani akka inni Israaʼel irratti mootii hin taaneef tuffadhe sanaaf hamma yoomiitti boossa? Gaanfa keetti zayitii guuttadhuutii deemi; ani gara Isseeyi nama Beetlihemitti sin erga. Ani ilmaan isaa keessaa isa tokko akka mootii taʼuuf filadheeraatii.”
Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Kodi udzamulira Sauli mpaka liti, popeza Ine ndamukana kuti akhale mfumu ya Israeli? Dzaza mafuta mʼbotolo lako ndipo unyamuke kupita kwa Yese wa ku Betelehemu popeza ndadzisankhira mmodzi mwa ana ake kukhala mfumu.”
2 Saamuʼeel garuu, “Ani akkamittin deemuu dandaʼa? Saaʼol yoo waan kana dhagaʼe na ajjeesa” jedhe. Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhe; “Goromsa tokko fudhadhuu dhaqiitii, ‘Ani Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuufin dhufe’ jedhi.
Koma Samueli anati, “Kodi ndingapite bwanji? Sauli akamva zimenezi adzandipha.” Yehova anayankha, “Tenga ngʼombe yayikazi ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Ndabwera kudzapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.
3 Isseeyinis gara aarsaatti waami; ani waan ati gootu sitti argisiisa. Atis nama ani sitti argisiisu sana naa dibda.”
Ukamuyitane Yese ku mwambo wa nsembe, ndipo ine ndidzakuwuza choti ukachite. Ukandidzozere amene ndikakulozere.’”
4 Saamuʼeelis waan Waaqayyo isa ajaje godhe. Yommuu inni Beetlihem gaʼetti maanguddoonni magaalaa sanaa hollachaa isa simachuu dhufanii, “Ati naguma dhuftee?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
Samueli anachita zimene Yehova ananena, ndipo anabweradi ku Betelehemu kuja. Akuluakulu a mu mzindawo anamuchingamira ali njenjenje ndi mantha ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi mwabwera mwa mtendere?”
5 Saamuʼeelis deebisee, “Eeyyee naguma; ani Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuun dhufe. Isinis of qulqulleessaatii na wajjin gara aarsaa kottaa” jedhe. Ergasiis inni Isseeyii fi ilmaan isaa qulqulleessee gara aarsaatti isaan waame.
Samueli anayankha kuti, “Inde, kwabwino. Ndabwera kudzapereka nsembe kwa Yehova. Mudzipatule ndipo mubwere kudzapereka nsembe pamodzi nane.” Kenaka iye anamupatula Yese ndi ana ake aamuna ndipo anawayitana kudzapereka nsembe.
6 Yeroo isaan achi gaʼanittis Saamuʼeel Eliiyaabin argee, “Dhugumaan namni Waaqayyo dibe as fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabateera” jedhee garaatti yaade.
Pamene anafika, Samueli anaona Eliabu ndipo anaganiza “Ndithu wodzozedwa wa Yehova uja ndi uyu wayima pamaso pakeyu.”
7 Waaqayyo garuu Saamuʼeeliin, “Ani isa tuffadheeraatii bifa isaa yookaan hojjaa isaa hin ilaalin. Waaqayyo waan namni ilaalu hin ilaalu. Namni bifa ilaala; Waaqayyo garuu waan garaa keessa jiru ilaala” jedhe.
Koma Yehova anati kwa Samueli, “Usaone maonekedwe ake kapena msinkhu wake, pakuti ndamukana iyeyu. Yehova sapenya zimene munthu amapenya. Anthu amapenya zakunja, koma Mulungu amapenya za mu mtima.”
8 Isseeyis ergasii Abiinaadaabin waamee akka inni fuula Saamuʼeel dura darbu godhe. Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isa kana hin filanne” jedhe.
Kenaka Yese anayitana Abinadabu namubweretsa pamaso pa Samueli. Koma Samueli anati, “Yehova sanamusankhenso ameneyu.”
9 Isseey akka Shamaan darbu godhe; Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isa kanas hin filanne” jedhe.
Ndipo Yese anayitana Sama, koma Samueli anati, “Ngakhale uyu Yehova sanamusankhe.”
10 Isseey akka ilmaan isaa torbanuu fuula Saamuʼeel dura darban godhe; Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isaan kanneen hin filanne” jedhe.
Pambuyo pake, Yese anayitana ana ake amuna asanu ndi awiri kuti apite kwa Samueli. Koma Samueli anati, “Yehova sanasankhe amenewa.”
11 Innis, “Ilmaan kee hundi kanneenumaa?” jedhee Isseeyin gaafate. Isseeyis, “Quxxisuun hunda isaanii tokko jira; inni garuu hoolota tiksaa jira” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis, “Nama itti ergiitii isa fichisiisi; nu hamma inni dhufutti hin teenyuutii” jedhe.
Tsono Samueli anafunsa Yese kuti, “Kodi awa ndi ana ako onse aamuna?” Yese anayankha kuti, “Ayi, alipo wina wamngʼono amene watsala, koma akuweta nkhosa.” Samueli anati, “Apite munthu akamutenge popeza sitipereka nsembe mpaka iye atabwera.”
12 Kanaaf Isseeyi nama itti ergee isa fichisiise. Innis diimaa, nama iji isaa miidhaguu fi nama dhaaba tolu ture. Waaqayyos, “Kaʼii isa dibi; inni ani filadhe isa kanaatii” jedhe.
Choncho anatuma munthu kukamutenga ndipo anabwera naye. Iye anali wofiirira, wa maonekedwe abwino ochititsa kaso. Ndipo Yehova anati, “Mudzoze popeza ndi ameneyu.”
13 Kanaafuu Saamuʼeel gaanfa zayitii fuudhee fuula obboloota isaa duratti isa dibe; guyyaa sanaa jalqabee Hafuurri Waaqayyoo humnaan Daawit irra buʼe. Saamuʼeelis gara Raamaa deeme.
Samueli anatenga botolo la mafuta ndi kumudzoza pamaso pa abale ake, ndipo Mzimu wa Yehova unabwera mwamphamvu pa Davide kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka mʼtsogolo. Pambuyo pake Samueli anabwerera ku Rama.
14 Hafuurri Waaqayyoos Saaʼol irraa fagaate; hafuurri hamaan Waaqayyo biraa ergame immoo Saaʼolin dhiphise.
Nthawi imeneyo Mzimu wa Yehova unamuchokera Sauli, ndipo mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Yehova unayamba kumuzunza.
15 Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol akkana isaan jedhan; “Kunoo hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa ergamee si dhiphisaa jira.
Atumiki a Sauli anati, “Taonani mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu ukukuzunzani.
16 Egaa gooftaan keenya akka isaan nama baganaa taphachuu dandaʼu barbaadaniif tajaajiltoota isaa warra fuula isaa dura jiran haa ajaju. Innis yommuu hafuurri hamaan sun Waaqa biraa sitti dhufu baganaa siif taphata; sittis ni wayyaaʼa.”
Ndiyetu, inu mbuye wathu titumeni ife antchito anu kuti tikafune munthu wodziwa bwino kuyimba zeze. Tsono pamene mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu wakufikirani, iye azidzayimba ndipo mudzakhala bwino.”
17 Kanaafuu Saaʼol tajaajiltoota isaatiin, “Nama akka gaariitti baganaa taphachuu dandaʼu tokko barbaadaatii naa fidaa” jedhe.
Choncho Sauli anati kwa atumiki ake, “Chabwino, kandipezereni munthu wodziwa bwino kuyimba ndipo mubwere naye kuno.”
18 Tajaajiltoota sana keessaa tokko, “Kunoo ilma Isseey nama Beetlihem kan baganaa taphachuu beeku tokko ani argeera. Innis jagnaa fi loltuu dha. Nama dubbii beekuu fi miidhagaa dha. Waaqayyos isa wajjin jira” jedhee deebise.
Mmodzi mwa antchito ake anati, “Ine ndinaona mwana wa Yese wa ku Betelehemu. Ndiye munthu wodziwa bwino kuyimba, wolimba mtima, ngwazi pa nkhondo, wodziwa kuyankhula ndi wokongola. Ndipotu Yehova ali ndi iye.”
19 Saaʼolis Isseeyitti ergamoota ergee, “Ilma kee Daawit isa hoolota bira jiru sana naa ergi” jedhe.
Ndipo Sauli anatumiza amithenga kwa Yese kukanena kuti, “Nditumizireni mwana wanu Davide, amene amaweta nkhosa.”
20 Isseeyis harree tokko fidee buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko itti feʼee, ilmoo reʼee tokko wajjin ilma isaa Daawitin Saaʼoliif erge.
Choncho Yese anatenga bulu namunyamulitsa buledi, thumba la vinyo ndi mwana wambuzi mmodzi. Zonsezi anamupatsa mwana wake Davide kuti akapereke kwa Sauli.
21 Daawit gara Saaʼol dhufee tajaajila isaa jalqabe. Saaʼol akka malee isa jaallate; Daawitis nama miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu taʼe.
Davide anafika kwa Sauli ndipo anayamba ntchito. Sauli anamukonda kwambiri Davide ndipo anamusandutsa wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo.
22 Saaʼolis, “Akka inni na wajjin turee na tajaajiluuf Daawitiif eeyyami; ani isatti gammadeeraatii” jedhee Isseeyitti dhaame.
Kenaka Sauli anatumiza mawu kwa Yese ndi kuti, “Mulole kuti Davide azinditumikira, pakuti ndamukonda kwambiri.”
23 Yommuu hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa Saaʼolitti dhufu hunda, Daawit baganaa isaa fudhatee taphata ture; Saaʼolis boqonnaa argata; itti wayyaaʼas ture. Hafuurri hamaan sunis isa dhiisee deema ture.
Nthawi zonse mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu umati ukamufikira Sauli, Davide ankatenga zeze wake nʼkumamuyimbira. Choncho Sauli ankapeza bwino, ndipo mzimu woyipa uja unkamusiya.
