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.
Na rĩrĩ, Samũeli akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ndatũmirwo nĩ Jehova ngũitĩrĩrie maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa andũ ake a Isiraeli; nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu thikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri kuuma kũrĩ Jehova.
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.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩngaherithia Aamaleki nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa meekire Isiraeli rĩrĩa maamoheirie njĩra-inĩ makĩambata moimĩte bũrũri wa Misiri.
3 Enti kɔ na kɔsɛe Amalek mantam no pasaa. Kunkum mmarima ne mmea, mmofra ne nkokoaa, anantwi ne nguan, yoma ne mfurum.’”
Na rĩrĩ, thiĩ ũgatharĩkĩre Aamaleki, na ũniine biũ kĩrĩa gĩothe marĩ nakĩo. Ndũkamatigie; ũraga arũme na andũ-a-nja, na ciana na ngenge, na ngʼombe na ngʼondu, na ngamĩĩra na ndigiri.’”
4 Enti Saulo frɛɛ nʼakofo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Telaim. Na wɔn dodow yɛ mpem ahannu ne mpem du nso a wofi Yuda.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ agĩĩta andũ, akĩmacookanĩrĩria kũu Telaimu; nao maarĩ thigari cia magũrũ ngiri magana meerĩ na andũ ngiri ikũmi kuuma Juda.
5 Saulo kɔɔ Amalek kuropɔn no mu, kɔtɛw obon no mu.
Saũlũ agĩthiĩ itũũra inene rĩa Amaleki, agĩikara ooheirie andũ kĩanda-inĩ.
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.
Ningĩ akĩĩra Akeni atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mweherere Aamaleki nĩgeetha ndikamũniinanĩrie nao; nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ nĩmwekire andũ othe a Isiraeli maũndũ mega rĩrĩa maambataga moimĩte Misiri.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Akeni acio makĩeherera Aamaleki.
7 Na Saulo kunkum Amalekfo no fii Hawila kosii Sur wɔ Misraim apuei fam.
Nake Saũlũ agĩtharĩkĩra Aamaleki amarutĩtie kuuma Havila nginya Shuri, o nginya mwena wa irathĩro wa Misiri.
8 Ɔkyeree Amalekfo hene Agag anikann, nanso okunkum nnipa no nyinaa.
Akĩnyiita Agagi mũthamaki wa Aamaleki arĩ muoyo, nao andũ ake othe akĩmaniina biũ na rũhiũ rwa njora.
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.
No Saũlũ na ita rĩake makĩhonokia Agagi na ngʼondu imwe cia iria njega, na ngʼombe, na njaũ iria ciarĩ noru, na tũtũrũme, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩega. Indo icio njega makĩaga gũciniina biũ, no kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩa gĩtangĩendekire na kĩhinyaru magĩkĩniina biũ.
10 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Samũeli, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
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.
“Ndĩ na kĩeha nĩ gũtua Saũlũ mũthamaki, nĩ ũndũ nĩagarũrũkĩte na akaaga kũhingia mawatho makwa.” Samũeli agĩtangĩka na agĩkaĩra Jehova ũtukũ ũcio wothe.
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.”
Rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, Samũeli agĩũkĩra agĩthiĩ agatũnge Saũlũ, no akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Saũlũ nĩathiĩte Karimeli. Kũu nĩakĩte gĩtugĩ gĩa gũtũma aririkanagwo, na nĩahũndũkĩte agaikũrũka agathiĩ Giligali.”
13 Samuel kɔtoo no no, Saulo kyiaa no anigye so se, “Awurade nhyira wo. Madi Awurade ahyɛde no so.”
Rĩrĩa Samũeli aakinyire harĩ we, Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima! Nĩhingĩtie mawatho ma Jehova.”
14 Samuel bisae se, “Na dɛn ne nguan ne anantwi su a mete yi?”
No Samũeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Naguo mwanio ũcio wa ngʼondu ndĩraigua nĩ wa kĩĩ? Mwanio ũcio ndĩraigua wa ngʼombe-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ wa kĩĩ?”
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.”
Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thigari ici nĩcio ciacirutire kwa Aamaleki; magĩtigia ngʼondu imwe cia iria njega na ngʼombe cia kũrutĩra Jehova Ngai waku igongona, no icio ingĩ nĩtwaciniinire biũ.”
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?”
Samũeli akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩria! Reke ngwĩre ũrĩa Jehova anjĩĩrĩte ũtukũ ũyũ.” Nake Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra.”
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.
Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na gũtuĩka hĩndĩ ĩmwe nĩweiiraga-rĩ, githĩ ndwagĩtuĩkire mũtongoria wa mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli? Jehova nĩagũitĩrĩirie maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
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.’
Nake agĩgũtũma ũthiĩ ũkarute wĩra, agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ ũkaniine andũ acio aaganu biũ; ũrũe na Aamaleki acio nginya ũmaniine biũ.’
19 Adɛn nti na woantie Awurade? Adɛn nti na mopere fom nneɛma, na moyɛɛ nea Awurade kaa se monnyɛ?”
Waregire gwathĩkĩra Jehova nĩkĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire ũguthũkĩre indo cia ndaho, ũgĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova?”
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.
Nake Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “No niĩ nĩndathĩkĩire Jehova; nĩndathiire kũruta wĩra ũrĩa Jehova aandũmire ngarute. Nĩndaniinire Aamaleki biũ, na ngĩrehe Agagi mũthamaki wao gũkũ.
21 Na mʼakofo no nso de nguan pa, anantwi pa ne asade bae sɛ wɔde rebɛbɔ afɔre ama Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn wɔ Gilgal.”
Thigari nĩcio cioire ngʼondu na ngʼombe kuuma kũrĩ indo iria ciatahĩtwo, iria ciarĩ njega ikĩamũrĩrwo Ngai, nĩguo irutĩrwo Jehova Ngai waku igongona kũu Giligali.”
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.
No Samũeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Anga Jehova nĩakenagio nĩ maruta ma njino na magongona ta ũrĩa akenagio nĩ gwathĩkĩra mũgambo wa Jehova? Gwathĩka nĩ kwega gũkĩra igongona, na kũmũigua nĩ kwega gũkĩra maguta ma ndũrũme.
23 Atuatew te sɛ bayi, na asoɔden nso te sɛ ahonisom. Esiane sɛ woapo Awurade asɛm no nti, ɔno nso apo wʼahenni.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũremi ũhaana ta mehia ma ũragũri, nakuo kwaga gwathĩka kũhaana ta wĩhia wa kũhooya mĩhianano. Tondũ nĩũregete kiugo kĩa Jehova, nake nĩakũregete ta mũthamaki.”
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.
Nake Saũlũ akĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie. Nĩnjagararĩte watho wa Jehova na uuge waku. Nĩ andũ ndeetigĩrire ngĩkĩmaathĩkĩra.
25 Enti mesrɛ wo, fa me bɔne kyɛ me na wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade.”
Rĩu ndagũthaitha, ndekera mehia makwa, na ũhũndũke ũtwarane na niĩ, nĩgeetha ngahooe Jehova.”
26 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Merensan ne wo nkɔ. Woapo Awurade ahyɛde enti Awurade nso apo wʼahenni!”
No Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndigũcooka hamwe nawe. Nĩũregete kiugo kĩa Jehova, nake Jehova nĩakũregete ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa gũthamakĩra Isiraeli!”
27 Samuel yɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔ no, Saulo soo nʼatade mu pɛɛ sɛ ɔsan no, na atade no mu suanee.
Rĩrĩa Samũeli aagarũrũkaga athiĩ-rĩ, Saũlũ akĩnyiita ruuno rwa nguo yake, nayo ĩgĩtarũka.
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.
Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩatarũra ũthamaki wa Isiraeli kuuma kũrĩ we ũmũthĩ na nĩaũnengera mũndũ ũngĩ wa andũ a itũũra rĩaku, mwega gũgũkĩra.
29 Nea ɔyɛ Israel Anuonyam no nni atoro na ɔnsesa nʼadwene; efisɛ ɔnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene.”
Ũrĩa we Riiri wa Isiraeli ndaheenanagia kana akericũkwo; nĩ ũndũ we ti mũndũ, atĩ nĩguo ericũkwo.”
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.”
Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie, no ndagũthaitha ndĩĩithia harĩ athuuri a andũ akwa na harĩ Isiraeli; cookania na niĩ, nĩgeetha ngahooe Jehova Ngai waku.”
31 Enti Samuel pene ne Saulo san kɔe, na Saulo som Awurade.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Samũeli agĩcookania na Saũlũ, nake Saũlũ akĩhooya Jehova.
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.
Samũeli agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Agagi mũthamaki wa Aamaleki.” Agagi agĩũka kũrĩ we arĩ na ũmĩrĩru, agĩĩciiragia atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ruo rwa gĩkuũ nĩrũthengu.”
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.
No Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora rũtũmĩte andũ-a-nja moorwo nĩ ciana-rĩ, noguo nyũkwa egũikara thĩinĩ wa andũ-a-nja atarĩ na mwana.” Nake Samũeli akĩũragĩra Agagi mbere ya Jehova kũu Giligali.
34 Na Samuel fi hɔ kɔɔ Rama na Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fi wɔ Gibea.
Samũeli agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Rama, no Saũlũ akĩambata mũciĩ gwake Gibea itũũra rĩake.
35 Samuel anhyia Saulo bio nanso odii ne ho yaw bebree. Na Awurade nuu ne ho sɛ osii Saulo hene wɔ Israel so.
Nginya mũthenya ũrĩa Samũeli aakuire, ndaathiire kuona Saũlũ rĩngĩ, o na gũtuĩka Samũeli nĩamũcakayagĩra. Nake Jehova akĩigua kĩeha nĩ ũndũ nĩatuĩte Saũlũ mũthamaki wa gũthamakĩra Isiraeli.
