2 Asi Samueri akati, “Ndingaenda seiko? Sauro achanzwa nezvazvo akandiuraya.” Jehovha akati, “Tora tsiru uende naro ugondoti, ‘Ndauya kuzobayira kuna Jehovha.’
Samuel bisae se, “Mɛyɛ dɛn ayɛ eyi? Sɛ Saulo te a obekum me.” Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa nantwi ba ka wo ho, na ka se, ‘maba sɛ merebɛbɔ afɔre ama Awurade.’
3 Ukoke Jese kuti auye kuchibayiro, uye ini ndichakuratidza zvokuita. Unofanira kundizodzera uyo wandichakuratidza.”
To nsa frɛ Yisai na ɔmmra afɔrebɔ no, na mɛkyerɛ wo ne mmabarima no mu nea wobɛsra no ngo ama me.”
4 Samueri akaita zvakataurwa naJehovha. Akati asvika kuBheterehema, vakuru vomusha vakadedera pavakasangana naye. Vakamubvunza vakati, “Mauya norugare here?”

5 Samueri akati, “Hongu, ndauya norugare; ndauya kuzobayira kuna Jehovha. Zvinatsei mugoenda neni kuchibayiro.” Ipapo akanatsa Jese navanakomana vake akavakoka kuti vauye kuchibayiro.
Samuel buae se, “Yiw, asomdwoe mu. Merebɛbɔ afɔre ama Awurade. Munnwira mo ho, na mommɛka me ho na yɛmmɔ.” Enti Samuel dwiraa Yisai ne ne mmabarima no na ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ wɔn baa afɔrebɔ no ase.
6 Vakati vasvika, Samueri akaona Eriabhi akafunga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo muzodziwa waJehovha ndiye amire pano pamberi paJehovha.”
Wodui no, Samuel huu Eliab na osusuwii se, “Ampa, nea Awurade asra no no ni.”
7 Asi Jehovha akati kuna Samueri, “Rega kutarira chiso chake kana mumhu wake, nokuti ndamuramba. Jehovha haatarisi zvinhu zvinoonekwa navanhu. Munhu anotarisa zviri kunze, asi Jehovha anotarisa pamwoyo.”
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Nhwɛ nʼahoɔfɛ ne ne tenten, efisɛ mapo no. Awurade nhwɛ nneɛma sɛnea nnipa hwɛ no. Onipa hwɛ nea aniwa hu, na Awurade de, ɔhwɛ koma mu.”
8 Ipapo Jese akadana Abhinadhabhi akaita kuti apfuure napamberi paSamueri. Asi Samueri akati, “Jehovha haana kusarudza uyuwo.”
Na Yisai frɛɛ Abinadab ma otwaa mu wɔ Samuel anim. Nanso Samuel kae se, “Oyi nyɛ nea Awurade ayi no.”
9 Jese akaita kuti Shama apfuure napo, asi Samueri akati, “Nouyu haana kusarudzwa naJehovha.”

10 Jese akaita kuti vanakomana vake vanomwe vapfuure napamberi paSamueri, asi Samueri akati kwaari, “Jehovha haana kusarudza ava.”
Yisai maa ne mmabarima baason bɛfaa Samuel anim, na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade nyii wɔn mu biara ɛ.”
11 Saka akabvunza Jese akati, “Ava ndivo vose vanakomana vaunavo here?” Jese akapindura akati, “Kuchino mumwe muduku kuna vose, asi ari kufudza makwai.” Samueri akati, “Tuma munhu kwaari; hatingagari pasi kusvikira asvika pano.”
Enti obisaa Yisai se, “Mmabarima a wowɔ nyinaa ni ana?” Yisai buae se, “Akumaa pa ara wɔ hɔ, nanso ɔrehwɛ nguan.” Samuel kae se, “Soma na wɔnkɔfa no mmra mprempren. Sɛ ɔmmae a, yɛrentena ase nnidi.”
12 Saka akatuma munhu kuti andouya naye. Akanga ari mutsvuku, ane chiso chakaisvonaka nechimiro chakanaka. Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Simuka umuzodze, nokuti ndiyeyu.”
Enti Yisai soma ma wɔkɔfaa no bae. Na ɔyɛ ɔkɔkɔɔ a ahoɔfɛ aguare no na nʼani yɛ fɛ. Awurade kae se, “Sɔre na sra no ngo. Ɔno ni.”
13 Saka Samueri akatora gonamombe ramafuta akamuzodza pamberi pamadzikoma ake, uye kubva pazuva iroro Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro paDhavhidhi nesimba. Ipapo Samueri akaenda kuRama.
Enti Samuel faa toa a ngo wɔ mu no sraa no wɔ ne nuanom anim. Na efi saa da no, Awurade honhom baa Dawid so wɔ tumi mu. Samuel kɔɔ Rama.
14 Zvino Mweya waJehovha wakanga wabva pana Sauro, uye mweya wakaipa wakabva kuna Jehovha ukamutambudza.
Saa bere yi na Awurade honhom afi Saulo so. Na Awurade maa ɔhaw honhom bɛhyɛɛ no ma. Ɛma ɔtenaa ase ehu ne osuro mu.
15 Varanda vaSauro vakati kwaari, “Tarirai mweya wakaipa unobva kuna Mwari unokutambudzai.
Ɛbaa saa no, Saulo asomfo no bi kyerɛɛ adwene bi se, “Honhommɔne bi a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ rehaw wo.
16 Ishe ngaarayire varanda vake vari pano kuti vatsvake mumwe munhu anogona kuridza mbira. Acharidza kana mweya wakaipa unobva kuna Mwari wauya pamusoro penyu, uye imi muchanzwa zviri nani.”
Momma yɛn Awurade mma ne nkoa mpɛ sankubɔfo papa bi, na sɛ honhom no fi Onyankopɔn hɔ ba wo so a, wabɔ nnwom ama wo, na wo ho bɛtɔ wo.”
17 Saka Sauro akati kuvaranda vake, “Tsvakai munhu anogona kuridza zvakanaka muuye naye kwandiri.”
Saulo kae se, “Monhwehwɛ ɔsankubɔni papa bi na momfa no mmrɛ me.”
18 Mumwe wavaranda akapindura akati, “Ndaona mwanakomana waJese wokuBheterehema anoziva kuridza mbira. Murume asingatyi uye murwi. Anogona kutaura zvakanaka uye munhu akaisvonaka. Uye Jehovha anaye.”
Asomfo no mu baako buae se, “Yisai a ofi Betlehem babarima baako nim sankubɔ yiye. Ɔyɛ ɔkokodurofo hoɔdenfo, na ɔyɛ ɔbadwemma nso. Ɔyɛ aberante a ne ho yɛ fɛ, na Awurade ka ne ho.”
19 Ipapo Sauro akatuma nhume kuna Jese akati, “Nditumirewo mwanakomana wako Dhavhidhi, uyo ari kumakwai.”
Enti Saulo tuu abɔfo kɔɔ Yisai hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo babarima Dawid a ɔyɛ oguanhwɛfo no brɛ me.”
20 Saka Jese akatora mbongoro akaitakudza chingwa, guchu rewaini nembudzana akazvitumira kuna Sauro naDhavhidhi mwanakomana wake.
Yisai penee so de Dawid kɔmaa Saulo a abirekyi ba ne afurum a wɔahyehyɛ aduan ne nsa wɔ ne so ka ho.
21 Dhavhidhi akasvika kuna Sauro akapinda kundomushandira. Sauro akamuda kwazvo, uye Dhavhidhi akava mumwe wavatakuri venhumbi dzake dzokurwa.
Dawid kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn kɔsom no. Na Saulo pɛ Dawid asɛm yiye, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Saulo akodekurafo no mu baako.
22 Ipapo Sauro akatuma shoko kuna Jese, achiti, “Tendera Dhavhidhi kuti andishandire, nokuti ndinofadzwa naye.”
Na Saulo de nkra kɔmaa Yisai se, “Ma Dawid nka mʼadwumayɛfo no ho, efisɛ mepɛ nʼasɛm yiye.”
23 Mweya waibva kuna Mwari waiti wasvika pamusoro paSauro, Dhavhidhi aibva atora mbira dzake oridza. Ipapo Sauro aibva anzwa kusununguka; onzwa zviri nani uye mweya wakaipa wobva wamusiya.
Na bere biara a honhommɔne a efi Onyankopɔn bɛba Saulo so abɛhaw no no, Dawid bɔ sanku no. Ɛba saa a, Saulo ho tɔ no, na honhommɔne no nso kɔ.
