1 Samweli 10
1 Ndipo Samweli akachukua chupa ya mafuta, akayamimina juu ya kichwa cha Sauli, na akambusu. Akasema, “Je, Mungu hajakutia mafuta uwe mtawala juu ya urithi wake?
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Samuela ʻae hina lolo, ʻo lingi ia ki hono fofonga, pea ʻuma kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatapui koe ʻe Sihova ke ke ʻeiki koe ki hono tofiʻa?
2 Utakapoondoka kwangu leo, utawaona wanaume wawili na kaburi la Raheli, katika nchi ya Benyamini hapo Selsa. Watu hao watakuambia, 'Wale punda mliokuwa mkiwatafuta wamepatikana. Sasa, Baba yako ameacha kuwatunza punda, na ana hofu juu yenu, anasema, “Nitafanya nini kuhusu mwanangu?”
ʻI hoʻo ʻalu ʻiate au he ʻaho ni, te ke toki ʻilo ʻae ongo tangata ofi ki he tanuʻanga ʻo Lesieli ʻi he potu ʻo Penisimani ʻi Selisa; pea te na pehē kiate koe, Ko e fanga ʻasi ne ke ʻalu ko hono kumi kuo ʻilo: pea ko eni kuo tuku ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, ka ʻoku mamahi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā te u fai koeʻuhi ko hoku foha?
3 Kisha utakwenda mbele kutoka hapo, na utafika katika mwaloni wa Tabori. Utakutana na watu watatu hapo wakienda kwa Mungu huko Betheli, mmoja akibeba wana-mbuzi watatu, mwingine akibeba mikate mitatu, na mwingine akibeba kiriba cha divai.
Pea ke ʻalu ai pe mei ai, pea ke hoko ki he tafangafanga ʻo Tepoa, pea ʻe fakafetaulaki kiate koe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻe toko tolu ko ʻenau ʻalu ki he ʻOtua ʻi Peteli, ʻoku fua ʻe he tokotaha ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi ʻe tolu, pea fua ʻe he tokotaha ʻae foʻi mā ʻe tolu, pea toʻo ʻe he tokotaha ʻae hina uaine:
4 Watawasalimu na watawapatia mikate miwili, kutoka mikononi mwao.
Pea tenau fetapa kiate koe, ʻo tuku kiate koe ʻae foʻi mā ʻe ua; ʻaia te ke maʻu mei honau nima.
5 Baada ya hayo, utafika katika mlima wa Mungu, mahali ilipo ngome ya Wafilisti. Utakapofika mjini, utakutana na kundi la manabii wakiteremka chini kutoka mahali pa juu wakiwa na kinanda, tari, kinubi na filimbi mbele yao; na watakuwa wakitabiri.
Hili ia, te ke hoko atu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ai ʻae kolo tau ʻae kau Filisitia: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hoʻo hoko atu ki he kolo, te mo fetaulaki mo e kau kikite ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga mo e meʻa faiva tatangi, mo e fangufangu, mo e haʻape, ʻi honau ʻao pea tenau kikite.
6 Roho ya BWANA itakujaza, nawe utatabiri pamoja nao, na utabadilishwa na kuwa mtu tofauti.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kiate koe, pea te ke kikite koe mo kinautolu, pea ke liliu koe ko e tangata foʻou.
7 Basi, ishara hizi zikikufikia, fanya lolote ambalo mikono yako itaona ifanye, kwa sababu Mungu yu pamoja nawe.
Pea tuku ke pehē, ʻoka hoko ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ni kiate koe, te ke fai ʻe koe ʻaia ʻe matamatalelei ʻi ho ʻao; he ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻOtua.
8 Nenda ushuke mbele yangu hadi Gilgali. Kisha nitakufuata huko nitoe dhabihu za kuteketezwa na kutoa dhabihu za amani. Nisubiri kwa muda wa siku saba hadi nije kwako na nikuoneshe unachopaswa kufanya.”
Pea te ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki Kilikali; pea vakai, te u ʻalu hifo kiate koe ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei: te ke tatali kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ke ʻoua ke u hoko atu kiate koe, pea fakahā kiate koe ʻaia te ke fai.”
9 Sauli alipotega mgongo amuache Samweli, Mungu akampa moyo mwingine. Ndipo ishara zote hizi zikatimia siku hiyo.
Pea naʻe pehē, hili ʻene tafoki hono tuʻa ke ʻalu ʻia Samuela, naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia ʻae loto foʻou: pea naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
10 Walipofika mlimani, kundi la manabii lilikutana naye, na Roho ya Mungu ikamjilia kwa nguvu ili atabiri pamoja nao.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki ai ki he moʻunga, vakai, ʻoku fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae kau kikite; pea naʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kikite ia mo kinautolu.
11 Kila mtu aliyemfahamu kabla hajamwona akitabiri pamoja na manabii, watu waliambizana wao kwa wao:”Kitu gani kimempata mtoto wa Kishi? Hivi Sauli ni mmoja wa manabii siku hizi?”
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi muʻa, pea vakai, ʻoku kikite ia mo e kau kikite, naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻe he kakai, “Ko e hā eni kuo hoko ki he foha ʻo Kisi? ʻOku kau ʻa Saula foki ki he kau palōfita?”
12 Mtu mmoja kutoka eneo hilo akajibu, “Na ni nani baba yao?” Kwa sababu ya jambo hili, ukawapo msemo, “Hivi Sauli naye ni mmoja wa manabii?”
Pea naʻe tali leva ʻe he tokotaha ʻoe potu ko ia, ʻo pehē, “Ka ko hai ʻenau tamai? Ko ia naʻe hoko ia ko e lea fakaefonua, ʻOku ʻi he kau palōfita ʻa Saula foki?
13 Alipomaliza kutabiri, akafika mahali pa juu.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻene kikite, naʻe haʻu ia ki he potu māʻolunga.
14 Ndipo baba yake mdogo na akamuuliza Sauli na mtumishi wake, “Mlienda wapi?” Naye akamjibu, “Kuwatafuta punnda; tulipoona kwamba hatuwezi kuwapata, tukaenda kwa Samweli.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻasina ʻo Saula kiate ia mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Ne mo ō ki fē?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi: pea ʻi heʻema vakai ʻoku ʻikai ia, ne ma hoko atu kia Samuela.”
15 Baba yake mdogo akasema, “Tafadhali niambie kile alichosema kwako Samweli,”
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻasina ʻo Saula, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tala mai ʻaia naʻe tala ʻe Samuela kiate kimoua.”
16 Sauli akamjibu baba yake mdogo, “Alituambia waziwazi kwamba punda wamepatikana.” Lakini kuhusu swala la ufalme alilosema Samweli hakumwambia.
Pea pehē ʻe Saula ki hono tuʻasina, naʻa ne tala totonu kiate kimaua kuo ʻiloa ʻae fanga ʻasi. Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Samuela, naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ia.
17 Basi Samweli aliwaita watu pamoja huko Mispa.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Samuela ke kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai kia Sihova ki Misipa;
18 Akwaambia watu wa Israeli, “Hivi ndivyo BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli asemavyo: 'Niliwatoa Israeli kutoka Misri, na niliwaokoa kutoka nchi ya Wamisri, na kutoka mkono wa falme zote zilizowaonea.'
ʻO ne pehē ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Ne u ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, pea fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite, pea mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo kinautolu naʻe fakamoʻulaloaʻi ʻakimoutolu:
19 Lakini leo mmemkataa Mungu wenu, awaokoaye kutoka kwenye majanga na mahangaiko; na mmemwambia, ' Tuwekee mfalme juu yetu; Sasa jihudhurisheni wenyewe mbele za BWANA kwa kabila na jamaa zenu.”
Pea kuo mou liʻaki he ʻaho ni ʻa homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻui tonu ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou ngaahi kovi kotoa pē, mo hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi kotoa pē; pea kuo mou tala kiate ia, ʻIkai, ka ke fakanofo ha tuʻi kiate kimautolu. Pea ko eni fakakātoa ʻo fakahā ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga, pea ʻi homou ngaahi toko afe.’”
20 Kisha Samweli akawaleta kabila zote za Isareli karibu, na kulichagua kabila la Benyamini.
Pea ʻi he fakakātoa fakataha ʻe Samuela ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli kenau haʻu ʻo ofi, pea naʻe fili ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
21 Akawasogeza karibu kabila la Benyamini kwa kufuata jamaa zao; na jamaa ya Wamatri ikachaguliwa; na Sauli mwana wa Kishi akachaguliwa. Lakini walipokwenda kumtafuta, hakuweza kuonekana.
Pea ʻi heʻene fekau ke haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani ʻi honau ngaahi fale, naʻe fili ʻae fale ʻo Matili, pea fili ʻa Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi: pea ʻi heʻenau kumi ia, naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa ia.
22 Kisha watu walitaka kumuuliza Mungu maswali zaidi, “Bado yupo mtu mwingine ajaye?” BWANA akajibu, “Yeye mwenyewe kajificha kwenye mizigo.”
Ko ia naʻa nau toe fehuʻi ai kia Sihova, pe haʻu ki ai ʻae tangata pe ʻikai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, kuo fakafufū ʻe ia ia ʻi he tuʻunga ngaʻotoʻota.”
23 Wakaenda mbio na kumleta Sauli kutoka humo. Aliposimama kati yao, alikuwa mrefu kuliko watu wote kuanzia mabega yake kwenda juu.
Pea naʻa nau lele ʻo ʻomi ia mei ai: pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu mo e kakai, naʻe māʻolunga ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga.
24 Kisha Samweli akawaambia watu, “Je, mnamuona mtu ambaye BWANA amemchagua? Hakuna mtu kama yeye kati ya watu wote.” Watu wote wakapiga Kelele, “Mfalme na aishi”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Mou vakai kiate ia ʻaia kuo fili ʻe Sihova, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku hangē ko ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē!” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae tuʻi.”
25 Ndipo Samweli akawaambia watu desturi na sheria za ufalme, akaziandika katika kitabu, na kuziweke mbele za BWANA. Baadaye Samweli akawaruhusu watu waondoke kila mtu aende nyumbani kwake.
Pea naʻe toki tala ʻe Samuela ki he kakai hono anga ʻoe puleʻanga, ʻo ne tohi ia ʻi he tohi, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Samuela ki he kakai kotoa pē kenau ʻalu taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono fale.
26 Sauli pia alienda nyumbani kwake huko Gibea, akiwa na baadhi ya watu wenye nguvu, wenye mioyo iliyoguswa na Mungu.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saula ki hono ʻapi ʻi Kipea; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau tangata, naʻe laveʻi honau loto ʻe he ʻOtua.
27 Lakini baadhi ya watu wasiofaa walisema, “Huyu mtu atatuokoaje?” Watu hawa walimdharau Sauli na hawakumletea zawadi zozote. Lakini Sauli alinyamaza kimya.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻae angakovi, “ʻE fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe he tangata ni ʻakitautolu?” Pea naʻa nau manukiʻi ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ha meʻaʻofa kiate ia. Ka naʻe longo pe ia.
