1 Samuel 15
1 Da bi Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Me na Awurade somaa me sɛ memmɛsra wo ngo sɛ Israel ɔhene. Afei tie nkra a efi Awurade nkyɛn no.
Samueli anawuza Sauli kuti, “Yehova anandituma ine kuti ndikudzozeni kukhala mfumu ya anthu ake, Aisraeli. Tsopano imvani zimene Yehova akunena.
2 Asɛm a Asafo Awurade se ni, ‘Me ne Amalekfo bedi wɔ nea wɔyɛ de tiaa Israelfo bere a na wofi Misraim reba no ho.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Ine ndidzalanga Aamaleki chifukwa cha zimene anawachita Aisraeli. Paja iwo analimbana ndi Aisraeli pa njira pamene Aisraeliwo ankachoka ku Igupto.
3 Enti kɔ na kɔsɛe Amalek mantam no pasaa. Kunkum mmarima ne mmea, mmofra ne nkokoaa, anantwi ne nguan, yoma ne mfurum.’”
Tsopano pita kathire nkhondo Aamaleki ndi kuwononga kwathunthu zinthu zonse zimene ali nazo. Musakasiyeko munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe. Mukaphe amuna ndi akazi, ana ndi makanda, ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, ngamira ndi abulu.’”
4 Enti Saulo frɛɛ nʼakofo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Telaim. Na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem ahannu ne mpem du nso a wofi Yuda.
Kotero Sauli anayitana ankhondo ake nawawerenga ku Telaimu. Ankhondo oyenda pansi analipo 200,000 ndipo mwa iwowa 10,000 anali a fuko la Yuda.
5 Saulo kɔɔ Amalek kuropɔn no mu, kɔtɛw obon no mu.
Sauli anapita ku mzinda wa Aamaleki nawubisalira mʼkhwawa.
6 Na ɔkraa Kenifo no se, “Mumfi nea Amalekfo no te hɔ na mansɛe mo ne wɔn, efisɛ Israelfo no fi Misraim reba no, mo ne wɔn dii no yiye.” Enti Kenifo no twee wɔn ho fi Amalekfo no ho.
Tsono Sauli anawuza Akeni kuti, “Samukani, muchoke pakati pa Aamaleki kuti ine ndisakuwonongeni pamodzi ndi iwo pakuti inu munaonetsa kukoma mtima kwa Aisraeli onse pamene ankatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto,” Choncho Akeni anachoka pakati pa Aamaleki.
7 Na Saulo kunkum Amalekfo no fii Hawila kosii Sur wɔ Misraim apuei fam.
Tsono Sauli anakantha Aamaleki kuchokera ku Havila mpaka ku Suri, kummawa kwa Igupto.
8 Ɔkyeree Amalekfo hene Agag anikann, nanso okunkum nnipa no nyinaa.
Sauli anatenga Agagi mfumu ya Aamaleki, koma anthu ake onse anawapha ndi lupanga.
9 Na Saulo ne nʼakofo no anyɛ Agag bɔne biara, na mmom wɔfaa wɔn nguan pa, anantwi pa ne anantwi ne nguamma a wɔadodɔ srade ne biribiara a wɔn ani gye ho. Wɔsɛee nea so nni wɔn mfaso na enni mu nyinaa.
Koma Sauli ndi ankhondo ake sanaphe Agagi, sanaphenso nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zabwino ngakhalenso ana angʼombe ndi ana ankhosa onenepa. Chilichonse chimene chinali chabwino sanachiphe. Koma zonse zimene zinali zoyipa ndi zachabechabe anaziwononga.
10 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se,
Kenaka Yehova anawuza Samueli kuti,
11 “Manu me ho sɛ masi Saulo ɔhene, efisɛ wanni me nokware, na afei wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrentie mʼasɛm.” Asɛm no haw Samuel, na osu frɛɛ Awurade anadwo mu no nyinaa.
“Ine ndikumva chisoni chifukwa ndinayika Sauli kukhala mfumu. Wabwerera mʼmbuyo, waleka kunditsata ndipo sanamvere malangizo anga.” Samueli anapsa mtima, ndipo analira kwa Yehova usiku wonse.
12 Ade kyee no, Samuel sɔree ntɛm kohyiaa Saulo, nanso obi ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Saulo kɔɔ Karmel sɛ ɔrekosi nkaedum de ahyɛ ne ho anuonyam, na ofii hɔ kɔɔ Gilgal.”
Samueli anadzuka mmamawa ndipo anapita kukakumana ndi Sauli. Koma anthu anamuwuza kuti, “Sauli anabwera ku Karimeli, ndipo kumeneko wadziyimikira mwala wachikumbutso cha iye mwini. Tsopano wachokako ndipo wapita ku Giligala.”
13 Samuel kɔtoo no no, Saulo kyiaa no anigye so se, “Awurade nhyira wo. Madi Awurade ahyɛde no so.”
Samueli atamupeza Sauli, Sauliyo anati kwa Samueli, “Yehova akudalitseni! Ndachita zonse zimene Yehova analamula.”
14 Samuel bisae se, “Na dɛn ne nguan ne anantwi su a mete yi?”
Koma Samueli anati, “Nanga bwanji ndikumva kulira kwa nkhosa ndi ngʼombe?”
15 Saulo gye too mu se, “Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ asraafo no amfa wɔn nsa anka nguan pa ne anantwi pa no. Nanso wɔde eyi rebɛbɔ afɔre ama Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn. Biribiara a ɛka ho no de, yɛasɛe no.”
Sauli anayankha, “Zimenezi Asilikali azitenga kuchokera kwa Aamaleki. Iwo anasungako nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zabwino kuti akapereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, koma zina zonse anaziwononga.”
16 Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Gyae! Tie asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me anadwo a atwa mu yi.” Saulo bisaa se, “Dɛn asɛm?”
Koma Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Khala chete! Ima ndikuwuze zimene Yehova wandiwuza usiku wathawu.” Sauli anayankha kuti, “Ndiwuzeni.”
17 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ebia wubu wo ho abomfiaa, nanso ɛnyɛ wo na wudii Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa so no? Awurade asra wo ngo sɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
Apo Samueli anati, “Munali wamngʼono pa maso pa anthu, koma tsopano mwasanduka mtsogoleri wa mafuko a Israeli. Yehova anakudzozani kuti mukhale mfumu yolamulira Aisraeli.
18 Na ɔsomaa wo sɛ kodi dwuma bi ma no, na osee wo sɛ, ‘Kɔ na kɔsɛe amumɔyɛfo a ɛyɛ Amalekfo no pasapasa, kosi sɛ mobɛtɔre wɔn ase dwerɛbee.’
Ndipo Yehova anakutumani kuti, ‘Pitani mukawononge kwathunthu Aamaleki, anthu oyipa aja. Mukachite nawo nkhondo mpaka kuwatheratu.’
19 Adɛn nti na woantie Awurade? Adɛn nti na mopere fom nneɛma, na moyɛɛ nea Awurade kaa se monnyɛ?”
Chifukwa chiyani simunamvere mawu a Yehova? Chifukwa chiyani munathamangira zofunkha ndi kuchita choyipira Yehova?”
20 Saulo nso kaa no denneennen se, “Mitiee Awurade. Nea ɔkyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, meyɛe. Mede ɔhene Agag san bae. Na wɔn a aka no de, mesɛee wɔn nyinaa.
Koma Saulo anawuza Samueli kuti, “Ine ndinamveradi mawu a Yehova. Ndinapita kukachita zimene Yehova anandituma. Ndinabwera naye Agagi, mfumu ya Amaleki, koma Aamaleki ena onse anaphedwa.
21 Na mʼakofo no nso de nguan pa, anantwi pa ne asade bae sɛ wɔde rebɛbɔ afɔre ama Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn wɔ Gilgal.”
Koma pa zofunkhazo anthu anatengapo nkhosa, ngʼombe ndi zabwino zina zoyenera kuwonongedwa kuti akapereke ngati nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ku Giligala.”
22 Na Samuel buae se, “Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛsɔ Awurade ani: sɛ wobɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne okum afɔre, anaasɛ wobɛyɛ osetie ama Awurade nne? Osetie ye sen afɔrebɔ. Sɛ wubetie no no ye sen sɛ wode adwennini akɛse srade bɛma.
Koma Samueli anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yehova amakondwera ndi nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zina kapena kumvera mawu a ake? Taona, kumvera ndi kwabwino kuposa nsembe, ndipo kutchera khutu ndi kwabwino kuposa kupereka mafuta a nkhosa.
23 Atuatew te sɛ bayi, na asoɔden nso te sɛ ahonisom. Esiane sɛ woapo Awurade asɛm no nti, ɔno nso apo wʼahenni.”
Pakuti kuwukira kuli ngati tchimo lowombeza, ndipo kukhala nkhutukumve kuli ngati tchimo lopembedza mafano. Chifukwa mwakana mawu a Yehova. Iyenso wakukana kuti iweyo ukhale mfumu.”
24 Na Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Mayɛ bɔne. Manni Awurade ahyɛde ne wo nkyerɛkyerɛ so. Na misuro nnipa no nti na meyɛɛ wɔn apɛde maa wɔn no.
Tsono Sauli anati kwa Samueli, “Ine ndachimwa. Ndaphwanya malamulo a Yehova ndiponso malangizo anu. Ndinkaopa anthu ndipo ndinawamvera.
25 Enti mesrɛ wo, fa me bɔne kyɛ me na wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade.”
Tsopano ndikukupemphani, khululukireni tchimo langa ndipo mubwerere nane kuti ndikapembedze Yehova.”
26 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Merensan ne wo nkɔ. Woapo Awurade ahyɛde enti Awurade nso apo wʼahenni!”
Koma Samueli anawuza Sauli kuti, “Ine sindibwerera nawe. Inu mwakana mawu a Yehova. Choncho Iyenso wakukanani kuti musakhale mfumu yolamulira Aisraeli.”
27 Samuel yɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔ no, Saulo soo nʼatade mu pɛɛ sɛ ɔsan no, na atade no mu suanee.
Samueli akutembenuka kuti azipita, Sauli anagwira mpendero wa mkanjo wake, ndipo unangʼambika.
28 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ efi nnɛ, Awurade atew Israel ahemman mu afi wo ho de ama obi foforo a oye sen wo.
Samueli anati kwa iye, “Yehova wangʼamba ufumu wanu kuchoka kwa inu, ndipo waupereka kwa mnzanu woposa inu.
29 Nea ɔyɛ Israel Anuonyam no nni atoro na ɔnsesa nʼadwene; efisɛ ɔnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene.”
Mulungu wa ulemerero wa Israeli sanama kapena kusintha maganizo ake; pakuti iye si munthu, kuti asinthe maganizo ake.”
30 Saulo srɛɛ bio se, “Minim sɛ mayɛ bɔne. Na mesrɛ wo sɛ, hyɛ me anuonyam wɔ me mpanyimfo ne me nkurɔfo anim; wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn.”
Sauli anati, “Ine ndachimwa. Komabe, chonde mundilemekeze pamaso pa akuluakulu, anthu anga, ndiponso pamaso pa Israeli. Mubwerere nane kuti ndikapembedze Yehova Mulungu wanu.”
31 Enti Samuel pene ne Saulo san kɔe, na Saulo som Awurade.
Pamenepo Samueli anabwerera ndi Sauli, ndipo Sauli anapembedza Yehova.
32 Afei, Samuel kaa se, “Fa ɔhene Agag brɛ me.” Agag baa ne nkyɛn gyidi mu, susuw sɛ ɛhɔ a wakɔ no de, owu apare no.
Kenaka Samueli anati, “Bwera nayeni kuno Agagi, mfumu ya Amaleki ija.” Choncho Agagi anapita kwa Samueli mokondwa chifukwa ankaganiza kuti, “Ndithu zowawa za imfa zapita.”
33 Nanso Samuel kae se, “Sɛnea wʼafoa akum mmea bi mmabarima no, wo nso wo na bɛyɛ ɔbea a onni ba.” Enti Samuel twitwaa Agag mu nketenkete Awurade anim wɔ Gilgal.
Koma Samueli anati, “Monga momwe lupanga lako linasandutsira amayi kukhala wopanda ana, momwemonso amayi ako adzakhala opanda mwana pakati pa amayi.” Ndipo Samueli anapha Agagi pamaso pa Yehova ku Giligala.
34 Na Samuel fi hɔ kɔɔ Rama na Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fi wɔ Gibea.
Ndipo Samueli anapita ku Rama, koma Sauli anapita ku mudzi kwawo ku Gibeya wa Sauli.
35 Samuel anhyia Saulo bio nanso odii ne ho yaw bebree. Na Awurade nuu ne ho sɛ osii Saulo hene wɔ Israel so.
Samueli sanamuonenso Sauli mpaka imfa yake ngakhale kuti ankamulira Sauliyo. Yehova anamva chisoni kuti anasankha Sauli kuti akhale mfumu ya Israeli.
