1 Samueri 9
1 Kwakanga kuno murume worudzi rwaBhenjamini, ainzi Kishi mwanakomana waAbhieri, mwanakomana waZerori, mwanakomana waBhekorati, mwanakomana waAfia muBhenjamini, murume wesimba noumhare.
Waaliwo omusajja Omubenyamini eyali omututumufu erinnya lye Kiisi, mutabani wa Abiyeeri, mutabani wa Zeroli, mutabani wa Bekolaasi, mutabani wa Afiya, Omubenyamini.
2 Aiva nomwanakomana ainzi Sauro, jaya raiyemurika rakanga risina akaenzana naro pakati pavaIsraeri, rakanga rakareba kupfuura vose.
Yalina mutabani we erinnya lye Sawulo, nga mulenzi alabika bulungi, era nga tewali amwenkana obulungi mu bantu ba Isirayiri, nga muwanvu okusinga abantu bonna.
3 Zvino mbongoro dzaKishi, baba vaSauro, dzakanga dzarasika, Kishi akati kuna Sauro mwanakomana wake, “Tora mumwe wavaranda uende naye kundotsvaga mbongoro.”
Endogoyi za Kiisi, kitaawe wa Sawulo zaali zibuze. Kiisi n’agamba mutabani we Sawulo nti, “Twala omu ku baweereza, mugende munoonye endogoyi.”
4 Saka akapfuura nomunyika yamakomo yeEfuremu, akapfuurawo nomunzvimbo yakapoteredza Sharisha, asi havana kudziwana. Vakapfuurira mberi nomudunhu reSharimu, asi mbongoro dzakanga dzisiko. Ipapo akapfuura nomunyika yaBhenjamini, asi havana kudziwana.
Ne bayitira mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu ne mu nsi ya Salisa, naye ne bataziraba. Ne bayita ne mu nsi ya Saalimu naye ne bataziraba. Ne bayita ne mu nsi ye Benyamini, naye ne zibabula.
5 Pavakasvika mudunhu reZufi, Sauro akati kumuranda waaiva naye, “Uya tidzokere, zvimwe baba vangu vangarega kufunga nezvembongoro vakatanga kufunganya pamusoro pedu.”
Awo bwe baatuuka mu nsi ya Zufu, Sawulo n’agamba omuweereza eyali naye nti, “Jjangu tuddeyo, sikuba nga kitange ava ku b’endogoyi, n’atandika okweraliikirira ffe.”
6 Asi muranda akapindura achiti, “Tarirai, muguta rino mune munhu waMwari; anoremekedzwa zvikuru uye zvinhu zvose zvaanotaura zvinoitika. Handei ikoko iye zvino. Zvichida achatiudza nzira yokuenda nayo.”
Naye omuweereza n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, mu kibuga muno mulimu omusajja wa Katonda, era assibwamu nnyo ekitiibwa, na buli ky’ayogera kituukirira. Tugendeyo, oboolyawo anaayinza okututegeeza ekkubo lye tuba tukwata.”
7 Sauro akati kumuranda, “Kana tikaenda, murume uyu tingandomupei? Zvokudya zvanga zviri mumasaga edu zvapera. Hatina chipo chokundopa munhu waMwari. Chii chatinacho?”
Sawulo n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Naye bwe tugendayo, omusajja tunaamutwalira ki? Emmere eweddemu mu nsawo zaffe, ate tewali na kirabo kya kutwalira musajja wa Katonda. Tulinawo ki?”
8 Muranda akamupindura zvakare achiti, “Tarirai, ndine chikamu chimwe chete muzvina cheshekeri resirivha. Ndichachipa kumunhu waMwari kuti agotiudza nzira yokuenda nayo.”
Omuweereza n’addamu Sawulo nti, “Laba, wano nninawo gulaamu ssatu eza ffeeza, era ze nzija okuwa omusajja wa Katonda atutegeeze ekkubo lye tuba tukwata.”
9 Kare munyika yeIsraeri, kana munhu achienda kundobvunza Mwari, aiti, “Handei kumuoni,” nokuti muprofita wanhasi ainzi muoni kare.
(Edda mu Isirayiri, omuntu bwe yagendanga okwebuuza ku Katonda, yayogeranga nti, “Jjangu tugende ew’omulabi;” kubanga ayitibwa nnabbi mu nnaku zino, edda ye yayitibwanga omulabi).
10 Sauro akati kumuranda wake, “Zvakanaka, uya tiende.” Saka vakasimuka vakananga kuguta kwaiva nomunhu waMwari.
Sawulo n’amuddamu nti, “Oteesezza bulungi, jjangu tugende.” Ne basitula okugenda mu kibuga omusajja wa Katonda gye yali.
11 Pavaikwira gomo kuenda kuguta iri, vakasangana navasikana vaienda kundochera mvura, vakavabvunza vachiti, “Muoni aripo here?”
Awo bwe baali nga balinnyalinnya akasozi okugenda mu kibuga ne basisinkana abawala abaali bagenda okusena amazzi, ne bababuuza nti, “Omulabi gy’ali?”
12 Vakapindura vachiti, “Aripo. Ari mberi kwenyu. Kurumidzai achangosvika iye zvino muguta redu, nokuti vanhu vane chibayiro panzvimbo yakakwirira.
Ne babaddamu nti, “Gy’ali. Ali mu maaso awo. Mwanguweeko, yaakatuuka kati mu kibuga, kubanga leero abantu balina ssaddaaka ey’okuweerayo mu kifo ekigulumivu.
13 Muchingopinda muguta muchamuwana asati aenda kunzvimbo yakakwirira kundodya. Vanhu havatangi kudya asati auya, nokuti anofanira kuropafadza chibayiro; mushure maizvozvo, avo vanenge vakakokwa vozodya. Endai iye zvino; munofanira kumuwana nguva idzo dzino.”
Bwe munaaba nga mwakayingira mu kibuga, mujja kumusisinkana nga tannayambuka kuliira mu kifo ekigulumivu. Abantu tebajja kulya nga tannatuuka, kubanga alina okusabira ssaddaaka omukisa n’oluvannyuma abayitiddwa balyoke balye. Kaakano mwanguwe mugende, mujja kumusisinkana.”
14 Vakakwidza kuguta, uye pavakanga vava kupindamo vakaona Samueri achiuya nokwavakanga vari, ari munzira yake achikwidza kunzvimbo yakakwirira.
Awo ne bayambuka okugenda mu kibuga. Bwe baali bakiyingira ne balaba Samwiri ng’ajja gye bali, ng’ayolekedde ekifo ekigulumivu.
15 Nezuro wacho Sauro asati asvika, Jehovha akanga aratidza izvi kuna Samueri:
Kyokka bwe waali wakyabulayo olunaku lumu Sawulo ajje, Mukama yali abikkulidde Samwiri ekigambo ng’agamba nti,
16 “Nenguva inenge ino mangwana ndichakutumira mumwe anobva kunyika yaBhenjamini. Muzodze kuti ave mambo pamusoro pavanhu vangu veIsraeri; achanunura vanhu vangu kubva muruoko rwavaFiristia. Ndatarira vanhu vangu, nokuti kuchema kwavo kwasvika kwandiri.”
“Enkya ku ssaawa nga zino nzija kukusindikira omusajja okuva mu nsi ya Benyamini. Mufukeeko amafuta okuba omukulembeze w’abantu bange, Isirayiri; oyo y’alirokola abantu bange okuva mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti. Ntunuulidde abantu bange; okukaaba kwabwe kutuuse gye ndi.”
17 Samueri paakangoona Sauro, Jehovha akati kwaari, “Uyu ndiye murume wandakataura newe pamusoro pake; achatonga vanhu vangu.”
Awo Samwiri olwalengera Sawulo, Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Omusajja gwe nakutegeezezzaako wuuyo. Oyo y’ajja okufuga abantu bange.”
18 Sauro akaenda kuna Samueri pasuo akamubvunza achiti, “Mungandiudzewo here kune imba yomuoni?”
Sawulo n’asemberera Samwiri mu mulyango, n’amubuuza nti, “Ssebo oyinza okundagirira ennyumba y’omulabi w’eri?”
19 Samueri akapindura akati, “Ndini muoni. Chitungamira mberi kwangu kunzvimbo yakakwirira, nokuti nhasi unofanira kudya neni, mangwanani ndichakurega uchienda uye ndichakuudza zvose zviri mumwoyo mako.
Samwiri n’amuddamu nti, “Nze mulabi, nkulemberaamu nga twambuka mu kifo ekigulumivu, kubanga leero onooliira wamu nange, enkya ku makya nzija kukuleka ogende era nzija kukubuulira ebyo byonna ebiri ku mutima gwo.
20 Kana zviri zvembongoro dzawakarasa mazuva matatu apfuura, usafunganya pamusoro padzo, dzakawanikwa. Zvino zvido zvose zveIsraeri zvatarira kuna ani kana kusiri kwauri iwe nemhuri yose yababa vako?”
Naye ebifa ku ndogoyi zo ezimaze ennaku essatu nga zibuze, tobyeraliikirira, kubanga zaazuuliddwa. Okwegomba kwa Isirayiri yonna kunaaba kw’ani, bwe kutaabe ku ggwe n’ennyumba ya kitaawo yonna?”
21 Sauro akapindura achiti, “Ko, handisi muBhenjamini, worudzi rudiki pane mamwe ose aIsraeri here, uye mhuri yangu haisi diki here pamhuri dzose dzaBhenjamini? Sei muchitaura chinhu chakadaro kwandiri?”
Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Nze ndi Mubenyamini, era nva mu kika ekisingirayo ddala obutono, ate nga n’ennyumba yaffe y’esingira ddala okuba eya wansi mu nnyumba zonna ez’ekika kya Benyamini. Lwaki oyogera nange ebigambo ebifaanana ng’ebyo?”
22 Ipapo Samueri akatora Sauro nomuranda wake akapinda navo mumba yokudyira akavagadzika kumusoro kwaavo vakanga vakokwa, vaisvika makumi matatu.
Awo Samwiri n’atwala Sawulo n’omuweereza we mu kisenge ekinene, n’abatuuza mu bifo eby’oku mwanjo mu maaso g’abo bonna abaayitibwa abaali bawera ng’amakumi asatu.
23 Samueri akati kumubiki, “Uya nechidimbu chenyama chandakakupa, chiya chandakuudza kuti uise parutivi.”
Samwiri n’agamba omufumbi nti, “Leeta ekifi ky’ennyama, kye nakuteresezza, kye nakugambye oteeke wabbali.”
24 Naizvozvo mubiki akatora gumbo nezvaiva pariri akazvigadzika pamberi paSauro. Samueri akati, “Hezvi zvawakanga wachengeterwa. Idya, nokuti zvanga zvakachengeterwa iwe panguva ino, kubvira panguva yandakati, ‘Ndakoka vanhu.’” Zvino Sauro akadya naSamueri musi iwoyo.
Awo omufumbi n’addira ekisambi, n’ebyakiriko n’akiteeka mu maaso ga Sawulo. Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Laba kino kye kyakuterekeddwa. Kirye kubanga kyakuterekeddwa okutuusa ekiseera kino olw’omukolo guno, okuva ku kiseera kiri, bwe nagamba nti, ‘Nnina abagenyi abayite.’” Awo Sawulo n’aliira wamu ne Samwiri ku lunaku olwo.
25 Mushure mokunge vadzika kubva kunzvimbo yakakwirira vakaenda kuguta, Samueri akataura naSauro ari pamusoro pedenga reimba yake.
Bwe baava mu kifo ekigulumivu ne baserengeta mu kibuga, Samwiri n’atwala Sawulo waggulu ku nnyumba ye ne banyumyamu.
26 Vakamuka zuva richangobuda Samueri akadana Sauro ari padenga pemba akati, “Gadzirira ndigokurega uende hako.” Sauro akati agadzirira iye naSamueri vakabuda panze pamwe chete.
Awo enkeera Samwiri n’agolokoka mu makya n’akoowoola Sawulo nti, “Golokoka nkusibule odde ku lugendo lwo.” Sawulo ne yeteekateeka, ye ne Samwiri ne baserengeta okugenda mu kibuga.
27 Pavakanga vachienda kumucheto weguta, Samueri akati kuna Sauro, “Taurira muranda kuti atungamire mberi kwedu.” Muranda akaita saizvozvo. “Asi iwe chimbogara pano kwechinguva, kuti ndigokupa shoko rabva kuna Mwari.”
Bwe baali baserengeta nga banaatera okutuuka ekibuga we kikoma, Samwiri n’agamba Sawulo nti, “Gamba omuweereza wo ayitewo, atukulemberemu, gwe osigaleko wano, nkutegeeze obubaka obuva eri Katonda.”
