< 1 Samuel 2 >
1 Na Hana bɔɔ mpae se, “Me koma di ahurusi wɔ Awurade mu! Awurade mu na wɔma mʼabɛn so. Afei, manya mmuae ama mʼatamfo, na mʼani gye wɔ wo gye no ho.
Awo Kaana n’asaba mu bigambo bino nti, “Omutima gwange gusanyukira Mukama; amaanyi gange geenyumiririza mu Mukama Katonda. Akamwa kange kasekerera abalabe bange, kubanga essanyu lyange liri mu bulokozi bwo.”
2 “Obiara nyɛ kronkron sɛ Awurade! Obi bi nnka wo ho; Ɔbotan bi nni hɔ sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn.
Tewali mutukuvu nga Mukama Katonda tewali mulala wabula ggwe; tewali Lwazi oluli nga Katonda waffe.
3 “Nkɔ so nkasa ahomaso so anaa nka ahantan kasa, efisɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a onim, na wɔfa ne so kari nneyɛe.
Toyogera nate nga weewaanawaana wadde okuleka akamwa ko okwogera eby’amalala, kubanga Mukama Katonda y’amanyi byonna, era y’apima ebikolwa.
4 “Wɔabubu akofo mpeaw, na wɔama wɔn a wohintihintiw no ahoɔden. Afei, wɔayɛ den.
Emitego egy’ab’amaanyi gimenyebbwa naye abanafu baweereddwa amaanyi.
5 Wɔn a na wodidi mee pintinn no afei, ɔkɔm rekum wɔn. Na wɔn a ɔkɔm rekum wɔn no nso afei, wɔamee pintinn. Afei, obonin wɔ mma baason. Na ɔbea a na ɔwɔ mma pii no, mma bɛbɔ no.
Abo abakkutanga, be bapakasa okufuna emmere naye abo abeetaaga, tebakyalumwa njala. Eyali omugumba azadde abaana musanvu, n’oyo alina abaana abangi, asobeddwa.
6 “Awurade de nkwa ne owu nyinaa ba; Ɔka bi hyɛ ɔda mu, na onyan ebinom. (Sheol )
Mukama Katonda y’aleeta okufa, era y’awa obulamu; atwala emagombe ate n’azuukiza. (Sheol )
7 Awurade yɛ obi ohiani na wayɛ obi ɔdefo; ɔbrɛ obi ase na wapagyaw obi.
Mukama Katonda y’ayavuwaza era y’agaggawaza; atoowaza ate n’agulumiza.
8 Ɔpagyaw ohiani fi mfutuma mu Yiw, oyi no fi nsosiw mu! Ɔyɛ wɔn sɛ mmapɔmma, de wɔn tena anuonyam ahengua so. “Efisɛ asase fapem yɛ Awurade de, na watoto wiase sɛnea ɛsɛ.
Ayimusa abaavu okuva mu nfuufu; asitula abali mu bwetaavu okuva mu ntuumu y’evvu; n’abatuuza n’abalangira, era ne basikira entebe ey’ekitiibwa. Kubanga emisingi gy’ensi gya Mukama Katonda, era okwo kw’atuuzizza ensi.
9 Ɔbɛbɔ onyamesurofo ho ban, na amumɔyɛfo bɛyera esum mu. “Sɛ ahoɔden mu nko de a, obiara renni nkonim.
Anaakuumanga ebigere by’abatukuvu be, naye ababi balisirisibwa mu kizikiza; kubanga omuntu tawangula lw’amaanyi.
10 Wɔn a wɔko tia Awurade no, ɔbɛdwerɛw wɔn. Ɔpae aprannaa fi wim gu wɔn so; Awurade bu atɛn wɔ asase so baabiara. “Ɔma ne hempɔn ahoɔden kɛse; nea wasra no no, ɔhyɛ nʼahoɔden mu den.”
Abalabe ba Mukama Katonda balisaasaanyizibwa; alibabwatukira ng’asinziira mu ggulu. Mukama alisalira ensonda ez’ensi omusango; aliwa kabaka we amaanyi, era n’agulumiza amaanyi g’oyo gwe yafukako amafuta.
11 Afei, Elkana ne Hana gyaw Samuel hɔ ma wɔkɔɔ fie wɔ Rama. Na abarimaa no bɛyɛɛ Awurade somfo wɔ ɔsɔfo Eli nan ase.
Awo Erukaana n’addayo ewuwe e Lama, naye omwana n’asigala ng’aweereza Mukama Katonda, ng’alabirirwa Eri.
12 Na Eli mmabarima no yɛ asansafo a wɔmfɛre Awurade,
Batabani ba Eri baali basajja ba mpisa mbi, nga tebatya Mukama Katonda.
13 anaa wɔn asɔfodwuma. Bere biara a obi bɛba abɛbɔ afɔre na wɔrenoa nam no, Eli mma no soma ɔsomfo de adinam a ɛwɔ ano abiɛsa ba. Bere a nam no si gya so no,
Omuntu yenna bwe yawangayo ssaddaaka, omuweereza wa kabona yajjanga, ng’akutte ewuuma ey’amannyo asatu ng’ennyama ekyatokosebwa,
14 ɔsomfo no de adinam no wɔ dadesɛn no mu. Na wɔhyɛ sɛ nea adinam no bɛwɔ mu no nyinaa yɛ Eli mma no de. Wɔde Israelfo a wɔba Silo hɔ nyinaa faa saa ɔkwan yi so.
n’asonseka ewuuma mu nsaka oba mu bbinika, oba mu ntamu, oba mu sefuliya, era ebyo byonna ewuuma bye yakwasanga, kabona bye yeetwaliranga. Bwe batyo bwe baakolanga Abayisirayiri bonna abajjanga okusinziza e Siiro.
15 Ɛtɔ da bi a, ansa na wɔbɛhyew srade no, ɔsɔfo no somfo ba bɛka kyerɛ onipa a ɔrebɔ afɔre no se, “Ma ɔsɔfo no nam no bi, na ɔntoto. Ɔmpɛ wo nam a woanoa, na mmom, nam amono nko ara.”
Ate amasavu bwe gaabanga tegannayokebwa, omuweereza wa kabona yajjanga n’agamba omuntu awaayo ssaddaaka nti, “Kabona muwe ku nnyama ayokye, kubanga tajja kukkiriza kutwala nnyama nfumbe ayagala mbisi yokka.”
16 Onipa a ɔrebɔ afɔre no ka se, “Fa dodow biara a wopɛ, nanso srade no de, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ansa.” Ɛhɔ na ɔsomfo no bɛka se, “Dabi da, fa ma me mprempren ara, anyɛ saa a, mede me tumi bɛfa.”
Omusajja bwe yamuddangamu nti, “Leka bamale okwokyako amasavu, olyoke otwale yonna gy’oyagala,” omuweereza yaddangamu nti, “Nedda, oteekwa okugimpa kaakano, bwe kitaba bwe kityo, nzija kugitwala lw’amaanyi.”
17 Na saa bɔne a mmerante yi yɛ yi yɛ akyiwade wɔ Awurade anim, efisɛ na wobu Awurade afɔrebɔ no animtiaa.
Ekibi ky’abavubuka abo ne kiba kinene nnyo mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga baanyoomanga ekiweebwayo kya Mukama Katonda.
18 Samuel de, ɛwɔ mu sɛ na ɔyɛ abarimaa de, nanso na ɔyɛ Awurade somfo a wɔde nwera asɔfotade ahyɛ no te sɛ ɔsɔfo.
Samwiri n’aweerezanga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda nga mulenzi muto, eyayambalanga ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya bafuta.
19 Afe biara a ne na ne ne kunu rekɔbɔ afirihyia afɔre no, na ne na pam batakari ketewaa bi de kɔma no.
Nnyina n’amukolelanga ekyambalo n’akimutwaliranga, bwe yabanga ayambuse ne bba okuwaayo ssaddaaka eya buli mwaka.
20 Ansa na wɔbɛsan akɔ fie no, Eli hyira Elkana ne ne yere ka se, “Awurade mma ɔbea yi nwo mma, na ommesi nea ɔbɔɔ ne ho mpae nyae a ɔde no maa Awurade no anan mu.”
Eri n’awa Erukaana ne mukyala we omukisa, ng’ayogera nti, “Mukama Katonda abawe abaana okudda mu kifo ky’oyo mukazi wo ono gwe yasaba, n’amuwaayo ng’ekirabo eri Mukama.” N’oluvannyuma baddayo eka.
21 Na Awurade maa Hana woo mmabarima baasa ne mmabea baanu. Na Samuel nyinii wɔ Awurade anim.
Mukama n’aba wa kisa eri Kaana, n’azaala abaana aboobulenzi basatu, n’aboobuwala babiri. Omuvubuka Samwiri n’akulira mu maaso ga Mukama.
22 Afei, Eli bɔɔ akwakoraa, nanso na onim nea ne mmabarima no de reyɛ Israelfo. Nhwɛso bi ne sɛ, na onim sɛ ne mmabarima no fa mmabaa a wɔboa ntamadan no ano adwumayɛ no.
Awo Eri eyali akaddiye ennyo, n’awulira ebyo byonna batabani be bye baakolanga Abayisirayiri bonna, ne bwe beetabanga n’abakyala abaweerezanga ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
23 Eli ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Metete mo ho nsɛm fi ɔmanfo nkyɛn a ɛfa amumɔyɛsɛm a mudi no ho. Adɛn nti na mokɔ so yɛ bɔne?
N’abagamba nti, “Kiki ekibakoza ebifaanana bwe bityo? Bye mpulira okuva eri abantu bano bonna nga si birungi.
24 Me mma, ɛsɛ sɛ mugyae! Mo ho nsɛm a metete fi Awurade nkurɔfo nkyɛn no nye.
Nedda, baana bange; ebigambo bye mpulira ebisaasaana mu bantu ba Mukama si birungi n’akatono.
25 Sɛ obi yɛ bɔne tia ɔfoforo a, Onyankopɔn tumi gyina mu ma ɔfɔdifo no. Nanso sɛ obi yɛ bɔne tia Awurade a, hena na obetumi agyina mu?” Eli mma no antie wɔn agya afotu no, na Awurade nso reyɛ nʼadwene sɛ obekum wɔn.
Omuntu bw’ayonoona eri muntu munne, Katonda ayinza okubatabaganya, naye omuntu bw’ayonoona eri Mukama, ani anaamwegayiririra?” Naye ne batawuliriza bigambo bya kitaabwe, kubanga Mukama yali asazeewo okubazikiriza.
26 Na abofra Samuel nyinii, na ɔkɔɔ so nyaa adom fii Awurade ne ɔmanfo nkyɛn.
Awo omuvubuka Samwiri ne yeeyongera okukula, n’aba muganzi eri Mukama n’eri abantu.
27 Da koro bi Onyankopɔn nipa bi baa Eli nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade se, ‘Manna me ho adi pefee ankyerɛ wʼagya fi bere a na wɔyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim no ana?
Awo ne wabaawo omusajja wa Katonda eyajja eri Eri, n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Sseeraga bulungi eri ennyumba ya jjajjaawo mu Misiri bwe baali bafugibwa Falaawo?
28 Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu no, Aaron na miyii no sɛ, ɔnyɛ me sɔfo a ɔbɛkɔ afɔremuka anim akɔhyew aduhuam, na wɔahyɛ asɔfotade wɔ mʼanim. Na mede afɔre a wɔbɔɔ no ogya so no nyinaa maa mo asɔfo no.
Nalonda jjajjaawo okuva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri okuba kabona wange, okwambukanga ku kyoto kyange, okwoterezangako obubaane, n’okwambalanga ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya bafuta mu maaso gange. Era ne mpa ennyumba ya jjajjaawo ebiweebwayo byonna ebyokebwa Abayisirayiri.
29 Adɛn nti na mutiatia me kum afɔre ne mʼaduan afɔre so? Adɛn nti na mubu mo mmabarima sen me? Moawe afɔrebɔde a me nkurɔfo Israelfo bɔ no mu kyɛfa a eye no, na monam so ayeyɛ akɛse!’
Lwaki munyooma ssaddaaka yange n’ekiweebwayo kyange bye nalagira, okuweebwangayo mu yeekaalu yange? Lwaki ossaamu batabani bo ekitiibwa okunsinga, nga mweddiza ebitundu ebisinga obusava ku buli kiweebwayo abantu bange, Isirayiri, kye bawaayo?’
30 “Enti asɛm a Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ka ara ni: ‘Meremma nneɛma bɔne a moreyɛ yi nkɔ so! Mehyɛɛ bɔ sɛ wo Lewi abusuafo no bɛyɛ mʼasɔfo, nanso wɔn a wodi me ni no, medi wɔn ni; na wɔn a wobu me animtiaa no, mɛbɔ wɔn ahohora.
“Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri kyava ayogera nti, ‘Nasuubiza nti ennyumba yo n’ennyumba ya jjajjaawo be banaaweerezanga mu maaso gange ennaku zonna;’ naye kaakano Mukama agamba nti, ‘Kikafuuwe! Abanzisaamu ekitiibwa bennassangamu ekitiibwa, naye abo abonnyooma banaaswazibwanga.
31 Mɛma mo fifo agyae mʼasɔfodi som no. Mpatuwu rempa mo fi da na mo mu biara rentena ase nni mfe mmee,
Laba ekiseera kijja lwe ndikumalamu amaanyi era n’ennyumba ya jjajjaawo nayo ne ngimalamu amaanyi, waleme okubaawo n’omu aliwangaala okutuuka mu bukadde,
32 na mubehu awerɛhow wɔ me tenabea. Ɛwɔ mu, trenee bɛba Israel so, nanso obiara nni mo abusua mu a obenyin abɔ akwakoraa.
olyoke olabire ennaku mu nnyumba yange. Newaakubadde Isirayiri erifuna omukisa, tewalibaawo n’omu ku b’omu nnyumba yo aliwangaala n’akaddiwa.
33 Wɔn a wɔbɛka no bɛtena ase awerɛhow ne ahoɔmmerɛw mu. Na mo asefo bɛtetew abun awuwu.
Omuntu yekka ku bantu bo gwe siizikirize, gwe ndikkiriza okumpeereza ku kyoto kyange, alisigalawo kukulabya nnaku, na kukunakuwaza mu mutima, na kukukaabya maziga; era bazzukulu bo bonna banaafanga nga kyebajje bavubuke.’
34 “‘Na sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wubehu sɛ nea maka no bɛba mu saa no nti, mɛma wo mmabarima baanu no, Hofni ne Pinehas no awuwu da koro mu.
“‘Ekirituuka ku batabani bo, Kofuni ne Finekaasi, ke kaliba akabonero gy’oli era bombi balifa ku lunaku lumu.
35 Ɛno akyi masi ɔsɔfo foforo a ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo a ɔbɛsom me, na wayɛ nea mɛkyerɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ biara. Mehyira nʼasefo, na ne fifo bɛyɛ ahene a mɛsra wɔn ngo no asefo akosi daa.
Ndyeyimusiza kabona omwesigwa, aligoberera ebiri mu mutima gwange ne mu mmeeme yange. Ndinywereza ddala ennyumba ye, era aliweerezanga ennaku zonna mu maaso g’oyo gwe ndifukako amafuta.
36 Na wʼasefo nyinaa bɛkotow nʼasefo, asrɛsrɛ wɔn sika ne aduan. Wɔbɛka se, “Mesrɛ mo, momma yɛn nnwuma bi nyɛ wɔ asɔfo no mu sɛnea ɛbɛma yɛanya aduan adi amee.”’”
Era buli aliba asigaddewo ku b’omu nnyumba yo alijja n’amuvuunamira ng’amusaba ekitundu kya ffeeza n’omugaati ng’ayogera nti, “Nkwegayiridde nnonda okuba omu ku bakabona, nsobole okufuna ekyokulya.”’”
