1 Samuela 8
1 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo motuʻa ʻa Samuela naʻa ne fakanofo hono ongo foha ke fakamaau ki ʻIsileli.
Samuel bɔɔ akwakoraa no, oyii ne mmabarima sɛ wɔnyɛ Israel atemmufo.
2 Pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki foha ko Sioeli pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua, ko ʻApia pea ko e ongo fakamaau ʻakinaua ʻi Peasipa.
Nʼabakan no din de Yoel, na ne ba a ɔto so abien no din de Abiya. Na wɔyɛ atemmufo wɔ Beer-Seba.
3 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa hono ongo foha ʻi hono ngaahi hala ʻoʻona, ka naʻa na tafoki ʻo kumi koloa, ʻo na maʻu koloa totongi, pea fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaau.
Nanso na ne mmabarima no nte sɛ wɔn agya. Wɔyɛɛ sikanibere, gyigyee adanmude, san buu ntɛnkyew.
4 Pea naʻe toki fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo haʻu kia Samuela ki Lama,
Enti Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa hyiaa Samuel wɔ Rama ne no bedii saa asɛm yi ho nkɔmmɔ.
5 ʻO nau pehē kiate ia, “Vakai kuo ke motuʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu ʻa ho ongo foha ʻi ho ngaahi hala: pea ko eni fakanofo ha tuʻi moʻomautolu ke ne fakamaauʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.”
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woabɔ akwakoraa, na wo mmabarima nso nnantew wʼakwan so; enti si ɔhene na onni yɛn anim sɛnea aman bebree yɛ no no.”
6 Ka naʻe kovi lahi kia Samuela ʻa ʻenau pehē, “Tuku kiate kimautolu ha tuʻi ke ne fakamaauʻi ʻakimautolu.” Pea naʻe lotu ʻe Samuela kia Sihova.
Wɔn abisade no anyɛ Samuel dɛ nti, ɔkɔɔ Awurade anim kobisaa akwankyerɛ.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “Tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe kakai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tala kiate koe: he ʻoku teʻeki ai tenau siʻaki koe, ka kuo nau siʻaki au, ke ʻoua naʻaku pule kiate kinautolu.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Tie nsɛm a ɔmanfo no reka kyerɛ wo no na yɛ. Ɛnyɛ wo na wɔapo, na mmom, me na wɔapo me, sɛ minnni wɔn so hene bio.
8 Hangē ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻaia kuo nau fai talu ʻae ʻaho ʻaia ne u ʻomi ai kinautolu mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻaia kuo nau liʻaki au, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe; ʻoku pehē ʻenau fai kiate koe.
Efi bere a miyii wɔn fii Misraim no besi nnɛ yi no, wɔakɔ so apo me akodi anyame afoforo akyi; na nnɛ yi, saa ara na wɔde reyɛ wo.
9 Pea ko eni, tokanga ki honau leʻo; ka ke valoki mamafa kiate kinautolu, pea fakahā kiate kinautolu hono anga ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻe pule kiate kinautolu.”
Ɛno nti, tie wɔn, nanso bɔ wɔn kɔkɔ anibere so, na ma wonhu ɔkwan a ɔhene a ɔrebedi wɔn so no de wɔn bɛfa so.”
10 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Samuela ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ki he kakai naʻe tala tuʻi kiate ia.
Enti Samuel kaa Awurade kɔkɔbɔ no kyerɛɛ nnipa no.
11 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hono anga eni ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻe pule kiate kimoutolu: Te ne toʻo homou ngaahi foha pea vaheʻi ʻakinautolu moʻona, ki heʻene ngaahi saliote, pea ke hoko ko ʻene kau heka hoosi; pea ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻi hono ngaahi saliote.
“Sɛɛ na ɔhene ne mo bɛtena. Ɔhene bɛtwe mo mmabarima na wama wɔde ne nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ asom, na wama wɔn atu mmirika adi ne nteaseɛnam anim.
12 Pea ʻe fakanofo ʻe ia moʻona ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e ʻeiki pule ki he ngaahi toko nimangofulu; pea te ne fakafatongia kinautolu ke keli ʻene ngoue, pea ke tuʻusi ʻene taʻu, pea kenau ngaohi ʻene mahafutau, mo e ngaahi meʻa ki hono ngaahi saliote.
Ebinom bɛyɛ nʼakofo mpem ne aduonum so asahene, na ebinom nso ayɛ nkoa ma wɔafuntum nʼasase, na wɔatwa ne nnɔbae, na afoforo ayɛ nʼakode ne ne teaseɛnam ho nneɛma.
13 Pea te ne pule ke hoko ʻa homou ngaahi ʻofefine, ko e kau ngaohi mā melie, ko e kau teu kai, mo e kau taʻo mā.
Ɔhene no begye mo mmabea afi mo nsam, na wahyɛ wɔn ama wɔanoa nnuan, na wɔato nnuan, na wɔayɛ nnuhuam nso ama no.
14 Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe ia hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue, mo hoʻomou ngoue vaine, mo e ngoue ʻolive, ʻio, ʻaia ʻoku lelei lahi, pea ʻe foaki ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
Obegye mo mfuw ne mo bobe mfuw ne mo ngo mfuw a eye no afi mo nsam, na ɔde ama ɔno ankasa nʼasomfo.
15 Pea te ne toʻo hono hongofulu ʻo hono vahe ʻi hoʻomou tengaʻi ʻakau, pea mo hoʻomou ngoue vaine, pea foaki ki heʻene kau matāpule mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
Obegye mo nnɔbae mu nkyɛmu du mu baako, na wakyekyɛ ama nʼadwumayɛfo ne nʼasomfo.
16 Pea te ne toʻo hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻomou kau kaunanga, mo hoʻomou kau tangata toulekeleka, mo hoʻomou fanga ʻasi, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ki heʻene ngāue.
Ɔbɛpɛ sɛ obenya mo mfenaa ne nkoa, na wagye mo anantwi papa ne mo mfurum de wɔn ayɛ nʼadwuma.
17 ʻE toʻo ʻe ia ʻo ʻave hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻo hoʻomou fanga sipi: pea te mou hoko ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
Obegye mo nguan mu nkyɛmu du mu baako na moayɛ nʼasomfo.
18 Pea te mou tangi kalanga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he tuʻi ʻaia kuo mou fili moʻomoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai ongoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.”
Sɛ da no du a, mobɛsrɛ ahomegye afi saa ɔhene a morepɛ no no nkyɛn, nanso Awurade remmoa mo.”
19 Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻae kakai ki he leʻo ʻo Samuela, pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai, ka te mau maʻu ha tuʻi, ke pule kiate kimautolu;
Nanso ɔmanfo no antie Samuel kɔkɔbɔ no. Asɛm a wɔkae ara ne se, “Yɛpɛ ɔhene.
20 koeʻuhi ke mau tatau foki mo e ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ke fakamaaua kimautolu ʻe homau tuʻi, pea ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimautolu, ke fai ʻemau ngaahi tau.”
Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛyɛ sɛ aman a wɔatwa yɛn ho ahyia no. Yɛn hene bedi yɛn so, na wadi yɛn anim akɔ ɔko.”
21 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻe Samuela ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻae kakai, pea ne lea ʻaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Enti Samuel kaa asɛm a nkurɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ Awurade,
22 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “Tokanga ki honau leʻo, pea fakanofo ha tuʻi moʻonautolu.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, “Mou ʻalu, ko e tangata taki taha ki hono kolo.”
na Awurade buae se, “Yɛ nea wɔreka no ma wɔn, na ma wɔn ɔhene.” Afei, Samuel penee so, na ɔmaa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom.
