1 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Penisimani, ko Kisi hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo ʻApieli, ko e foha ʻo Siloa, ko e foha ʻo Pikolati, ko e foha ʻo ʻAfia ko e tangata Penisimani, ko e tangata mālohi.
E nwere otu nwoke si Benjamin aha ya bụ Kish nwa Abiel, nwa Zeroa, nwa Bekorat, nwa Afia, onye Benjamin, burukwa oke mmadụ a maa ama.
2 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ko Saula hono hingoa, ko e tangata talavou lelei, mo toulekeleka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe lelei hake ʻiate ia: mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe māʻolunga lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
O nwere nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Sọl, onye bụ okorobịa nọ nʼuju ya. O nweghị nwoke ọzọ e ji atụnyere ya nʼIzrel niile. O toro ogologo karịa onye ọbụla site nʼubu ruo nʼisi.
3 Pea naʻe hē ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻa Kisi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kisi kia Saula ko hono foha, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi.”
Otu ụbọchị, ụfọdụ nʼime ịnyịnya ibu Kish nna Sọl nwere kpafuru. Nʼihi ya, Kish kpọrọ Sọl gwa ya okwu sị, “Duru otu odibo ka gị na ya soro ga chọgharịa ịnyịnya ibu ndị a.”
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne ʻosiki ʻae fonua ʻo Salisa, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa na toki ō ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo Salima, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻi ai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Penisimani, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu.
Ha chọrọ ịnyịnya ndị ahụ gaa nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem, na nʼakụkụ Shalisha, ma ha ahụghị ha. Ha chọkwara ha gaa nʼakụkụ Shaalim, ma ha ahụghị ha nʼebe ahụ. Emesịa, ha chọrọ ịnyịnya ibu ndị ahụ gaa nʼala niile nke ndị Benjamin, ma ha ahụghị ha ebe ọbụla.
5 Pea ʻi he ʻena hoko ki he fonua ʻo Sufi, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ke ta tafoki; telia naʻa tuku ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, pea hoko ʻo tokanga kiate kitaua.”
Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe ha chọọrọ ha rute nʼala Zuf, Sọl gwara onyeozi ahụ ya na ya so, sị, “Ka anyị laghachi, nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na nna m elee anya anyị ma ọ hụghị anyị, ọ ga-amalite iche echiche banyere anyị karịa ịnyịnya ibu ndị a.”
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e tangata ongoongolelei ia; ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai: pea ko eni ke ta ō ki ai; heiʻilo pe te ne faʻa fakahā mai hota hala ke ta ō ai.”
Ma odibo ahụ zara ya sị, “Lee, e nwere otu onye nke Chineke bi nʼobodo a; ọ bụkwa onye mmadụ niile na-asọpụrụ nʼihi na ihe ọbụla o kwuru na-emezu. Ka anyị gaa hụ ya, ma eleghị anya ọ ga-agwa anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi.”
7 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Kae vakai, kapau te ta ō, ko e hā te ta ʻave ki he tangata? He kuo ʻosi ʻae mā ʻi heʻeta ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻaʻofa ke ʻatu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e hā ʻoku ta maʻu?”
Sọl sịrị odibo ya, “Ọ bụrụ na anyị agaa, gịnị ka anyị ga-enye nwoke ahụ? Nri dị na-akpa anyị agwụla, ọ dịkwaghị onyinye anyị nwere nke anyị ga-enye onye nke Chineke. Gịnị ka anyị nwere?”
8 Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tamaioʻeiki kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli siliva: te u ʻatu ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ke ne fakahā hota hala.”
Onyeozi ahụ zara ya ọzọ sị, “Lee, enwere m otu mkpụrụ shekel ọlaọcha. Aga m enye ya onye Chineke a ka ọ gwa anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi.”
9 (ʻI he ʻalu ha tangata ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki he tangata kikite: he ko ia ʻoku ui ni ko e Palōfita, naʻe ui ia ʻi muʻa ko e tangata kikite.”)
(Na mgbe gara aga nʼIzrel, ọ bụrụ na mmadụ agaa iju Chineke ase, ọ na-asị, “Bịa ka anyị jekwuru onye ọhụ ụzọ,” nʼihi na onye a na-akpọ onye amụma taa, ka a na-akpọ onye ọhụ ụzọ nʼoge ahụ).
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku lelei hoʻo lea, haʻu ke ta ō.” Ko ia ne na ō ai ki he kolo ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
Sọl sịrị odibo ya, “Ọ dị mma, Bịa ka anyị gaa.” Ha biliri gawa nʼobodo ebe onye Chineke ahụ nọ.
11 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohake ʻi he moʻunga ki he kolo, naʻa na ʻilo ʻae kau finemui naʻe ʻalu ke ʻutu vai, pea ne na pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tangata kikite?”
Mgbe ha na-arịgo ugwu ịbanye obodo ahụ, ha zutere ụfọdụ ụmụ agbọghọ ka ha na-apụta iseta mmiri, jụọ ha ajụjụ sị, “Onye ọhụ ụzọ ahụ ọ nọ nʼebe a?”
12 Pea naʻa nau tali ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ia; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoua: mo fakatoʻotoʻo, he naʻe haʻu he ʻaho ni ia ki he kolo; he ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu māʻolunga:
Ụmụ agbọghọ ahụ zara ha sị, “E, ọ nọ ya. Lee ya ka ọ na-aga nʼihu unu. Unu jesie ike unu ga-ahụ ya. Ugbu a ka ọ batara obodo anyị, nʼihi na ọ na-aga iso ndị mmadụ gaa ịchụ aja nʼebe dị elu.
13 ʻI hoʻomo hoko ki he kolo, te mo ʻilo leva ia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻalu hake ia ki he potu māʻolunga ke kai: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe he kakai kaeʻoua ke hoko ange ia, he ʻoku ne tāpuaki ʻae feilaulau; pea hili ia, ʻe toki kai ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai. Ko ia mo ʻohake eni; he ko e feituʻulaʻā eni te mo ʻilo ia.”
Ngwangwa unu banye nʼobodo, unu ga-ahụ ya tupu o gaa nʼebe dị elu iri ihe. Nʼihi na ndị mmadụ agaghị ebido iri ihe tutu ruo mgbe o rutere, nʼihi na ọ ghaghị ịgọzi ihe aja ahụ tupu ndị a kpọrọ oku ebido iri ihe. Gbagoonụ unu ga-ahụ ya nʼoge dịka nke a.”
14 Pea naʻa na ʻohake ki he kolo: pea ʻi heʻena hoko hake ki he kolo, vakai, naʻe hū kituʻa ʻa Samuela kiate kinaua, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ki he potu māʻolunga.
Ya mere, ha mere ngwangwa, baa nʼime obodo ahụ. Dịka ha na-abata nʼime obodo, lee Samuel ka ọ na-abịakwute ha; ọ na-aga nʼebe ahụ dị elu.
15 Ka ko eni kuo ʻosi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he telinga ʻo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho naʻe muʻa ʻi he hoko atu ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē,
Ma nʼụbọchị bọrọ tupu ụbọchị Sọl na-abịa, Onyenwe anyị kpughere nke a nye Samuel.
16 “Feʻunga mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u fekau kiate koe ʻae tangata mei he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea te ke fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui hoku kakai mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia: he kuo u vakai ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hake ʻenau tangi kiate au.”
“Dịka mgbe a echi, aga m ezitere gị otu nwoke sị nʼala Benjamin. Ị ga-ete ya mmanụ nke ga-eme ya ka ọ bụrụ onyendu Izrel ndị m. Ọ ga-azọpụta ha site nʼaka ndị Filistia, nʼihi na ahụla m ahụhụ nke ha nọ nʼime ya; anụkwala m ịkwa akwa ha.”
17 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Samuela kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata eni ʻaia ne u lea ai kiate koe! Ko ia ia te ne pule ki hoku kakai.”
Mgbe Samuel hụrụ Sọl, Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Lee nwoke ahụ m gwara gị ihe banyere ya! Ọ bụ ya ga-achị ndị m.”
18 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Saula kia Samuela ʻi he matapā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tala mai, ko e fē ʻae fale ʻoe tangata kikite?”
Ma Sọl bịaruru Samuel nso jụọ ya sị, “Biko, zi m ebe ụlọ onye ọhụ ụzọ dị.”
19 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e tangata kikite: ke ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki he potu māʻolunga, he te tau kai mo au he ʻaho ni, pea te u tuku koe ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi, pea te u tala kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto.
Samuel zara sị ya, “Mụ onwe m bụ ọhụ ụzọ ahụ. Gaanụ nʼihu m rigoruo nʼebe dị elu, nʼihi na mụ na unu ga-eso rikọọ nri taa. Nʼụtụtụ echi aga m agwa gị ihe dị gị nʼobi. Aga m ezilagakwa gị.
20 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga ʻasi ʻaia naʻe hē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili, ʻoua naʻa tokanga ho loto ki ai; he kuo ʻilo ʻakinautolu. Pea ʻoku tau kia hai ʻae holi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai?”
Enyela obi gị nsogbu maka ịnyịnya ibu ndị ahụ furu efu nʼabalị atọ gara aga, nʼihi na a chọtala ha. Ma, onye ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye ndị Izrel niile na-achọsi ike? Ọ bụghị gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị.”
21 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Saula ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai ko e tangata Penisimani au ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea ko hoku fale ko e siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke lea pehē ai kiate au?”
Ma Sọl zara sị, “Ọ bụghị onye Benjamin ka m bụ, onye sitere nʼebo kachasị nta nʼIzrel; ọ bụghị agbụrụ m dịkarịsịrị nta nʼetiti agbụrụ niile ọzọ dị nʼebo Benjamin? Gịnị mere i ji agwa m ụdị okwu dị otu a?”
22 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he potu fale kuo teuteu, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinaua ʻi he potu lahi taha pe ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tala, ʻaia ko e toko tolungofulu nai.
Mgbe ahụ, Samuel duuru Sọl na onyeozi ya kpọbata ha nʼime ụlọ ukwu, nye ha ọnọdụ nʼisi oche nʼetiti iri mmadụ atọ ọ kpọrọ oriri.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he ngaohi kai, “ʻOmi ʻae tufakanga naʻaku ʻatu kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, Tuku pe ia ʻo tauhi.”
Samuel gwara onyeisi ndị na-esi nri okwu sị, “Weta anụ ahụ m nyere gị, nke ahụ m sị gị ka ị debe iche.”
24 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he ngaohi kai ʻae alanga muʻa, mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Vakai, ko ia ʻoku toe ke tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke kai: he naʻe tauhi ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni talu ʻeku pehē, kuo u tala ki he kakai.” Pea ko ia naʻe kai ʻe Saula mo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
Onye na-esi nri weere ụkwụ anụ ahụ na ihe ndị so ya debe ya nʼihu Sọl. Samuel sịrị, “Lee, ihe ndị e wepụrụ ka e debere gị. Rie, nʼihi na e debere gị ya maka oge akara aka, site nʼoge ahụ m kwuru si, ‘Akpọrọ m ndị mmadụ oku nri.’” Sọl sooro Samuel rie nri nʼụbọchị ahụ.
25 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga ki he kolo, naʻe alea ʻa Samuela mo Saula ʻi he tuʻa fale.
Mgbe ha sitere nʼebe ahụ dị elu rịdata nʼobodo. Samuel kpanyere Sọl ụka nʼelu ụlọ ya.
26 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pea feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, naʻe ui ʻe Samuela ke ʻalu hake ʻa Saula ki he tuʻa fale, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula, pea naʻa na ō kituʻa fakatouʻosi pe, ʻaia mo Samuela ki he mamaʻo.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ mgbe ha biliri, Samuel kpọrọ Sọl nʼụlọ elu sị, “Jikere, ka m zilaga gị.” Mgbe Sọl kwadoro, ya na Samuel sooro pụọ nʼezi.
27 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohifo ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kolo, naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Fekau ki he tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitaua, (pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ) ka ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate koe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.”
Ka ha na-arịda na-abịaru nsọtụ obodo ahụ, Samuel sịrị Sọl, “Gwa onyeozi ahụ ka ọ gafee nʼihu anyị.” Onyeozi ahụ mekwara otu a, ma, “Gị onwe gị chere ntakịrị oge nʼebe a ka m mee ka ị nụrụ ozi sitere nʼaka Chineke.”
