1 Samuel 9
1 Ɔbarima ɔdefo bi a odi mu tenaa ase a na ne din de Kis na ofi Benyamin abusua mu. Na ɔyɛ Abiel babarima, na ne nena ne Seror a ofi Bekorat fi ne Afia abusua mu.
Ne nitie ja-Benjamin moro mongʼere ma nyinge Kish wuod Abiel, ma wuod Zeror, ma wuod Bekorath, ma wuod Afia ma ja-Benjamin.
2 Na ne babarima Saulo ho yɛ fɛ yiye sen obiara wɔ Israel. Na ɔware sen obiara fi ne mmati kosi ne ti so wɔ asase no so.
Ne en gi wuowi miluongo ni Saulo, ne en rawera ma jaber e kind jo-Israel bende ne en rabora ma ji moko ne rem mana e goke.
3 Da bi Kis mfurum yerae, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Fa asomfo no mu baako, na wo ne no nkɔhwehwɛ mfurum no.”
Chiengʼ moro punde mag Kish wuon Saulo nolal kendo Kish nowachone wuode ma Saulo niya, “Kaw achiel kuom jotich mondo udhigo udwar punde.”
4 Enti Saulo faa asomfo no mu baako. Wɔkɔfaa Efraim bepɔw asase, Salisa asase, Saalim fam ne Benyamin asase nyinaa so, nanso wɔanhu mfurum no baabiara.
Omiyo nokadho e piny got mar Efraim kod alwora mar Shalisha, to ok ne giyudogi. Negidhiyo ma gichopo e gwenge mag Shaalim, to punde ne onge kuondego. Eka nokadho e piny Benjamin, to ne ok giyudogi.
5 Na woduu Suf mansin mu no, Saulo ka kyerɛɛ ɔsomfo a ɔka ne ho no se, “Bra, ma yɛnsan nkɔ faako a yefi bae, na ebia, mʼagya agyae mfurum no ho dwene, ɔredwen yɛn ho mmom.”
Kane gichopo e gwenge mag Zuf, Saulo nowachone jatich mane ni kode niya, “Bi wadogi, dipo ka wuora oweyo paro punde kendo mochako mana parowa.”
6 Nanso ɔsomfo no buae se, “Manya adwene bi, Onyame nipa bi te kurow yi mu a wobu no yiye. Na asɛm biara a ɔbɛka nso ba mu. Ma yɛnkɔ ne hɔ mprempren ara, ebia obetumi akyerɛ yɛn faako a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa.”
To jatich nodwoke kawachone niya, “Iwinjo, e dalano nitiere ngʼat Nyasaye moro marahuma kendo gik mowacho duto timore mana kaka owacho. Bi wadhi ire koro nikech onyalo nyisowa yo monego waluw.”
7 Saulo buaa no se, “Yenni hwee a yebetumi de akyɛ saa ɔbarima no, yɛn nnuan mpo asa, yenni biribiara a yɛde bɛma no.”
Saulo nowachone jatich niya, “To ka wadhi, en angʼo ma wabiro miyo ngʼatni? Chiemo mane ni e mifukewa oserumo. Waonge kod mich ma wanyalo tero ne ngʼat Nyasaye. En angʼo ma wan-go?”
8 Ɔsomfo no buaa no bio se, “Hwɛ! Mewɔ dwetɛ gram abiɛsa. Yebetumi de ama no, na yɛahwɛ nea ebesi.”
Jatich nowachone kendo niya, “An-gi pesa moko manok. Abiro miye ngʼat Nyasaye mondo onyiswa yo monego waluw.”
9 (Saa bere no, sɛ nnipa rekobisa Onyankopɔn hɔ ade a, wɔka se, “Momma yenkobisa adehuni” efisɛ saa bere no na wɔfrɛ adiyifo adehuni.)
Chon e piny Israel kane ngʼato dhi penjo Nyasaye wach ne owacho niya, “Bi wadhi ka Janen,” nikech ngʼat miluongo ni janabi ndaloni ne iluongo ni janen.
10 Saulo penee so ka kyerɛɛ ne somfo no se, “Eye, ma yɛnsɔ nhwɛ!” Enti wosii mu kɔɔ kurow a Onyame nipa wɔ mu no so.
Saulo nowachone jatich niya, “Mano ber, bi wadhi.” Omiyo negiwuok ma gidhi e dala kama ngʼat Nyasaye nodakie.
11 Wɔreforo bepɔw bi akɔ kurow no mu no, wohyiaa mmabaa bi a wɔrekɔsaw nsu, na Saulo ne ne somfo no bisaa wɔn se, “Adehuni no wɔ ha nnɛ?”
Kane giidho got matin-no ka gichomo dalano negiromo gi nyiri moko kadhi umbo pi kendo ne gipenjogi niya, “Bende ngʼat makoro nika?”
12 Wobuae se, “Ɔwɔ mo anim. Monka mo ho, nnɛ ara a waba yɛn kurow yi mu efisɛ ɔmanfo rebɛbɔ afɔre wɔ bepɔw no so hɔ.
To negidwoko niya, “Ee entie, ero odhi nyimu kanyo, returu. Koro eka odonjo e dalawa kawuono nimar jowa timo misango e kama owal.”
13 Monka mo ho nkɔto no, ansa na waforo akɔ bepɔw no so akodidi. Nnipa no mfi ase nnidi kosi sɛ obehyira aduan no so.”
E sa ma usedonjo e dala to ubiro yudo kapok oidho odhi malo kama owal mondo ochiem. Ji ok bi chako chiemo nyaka ochopi, nikech nyaka ogwedh gir timo misango eka bangʼe jomo oluongi nyalo chiemo. Returu mapiyo sani ema unyalo yude.
14 Enti wɔkɔɔ kurow no mu. Na wɔrewura apon no mu no, na Samuel ani kyerɛ wɔn so a ɔrekɔforo bepɔw no.
Ne giwuotho mi gidhi nyaka dala, to kane gidonjo kanyo to negineno Samuel, kabiro gwenyore kodgi kochiko kama owal.
15 Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Samuel da a atwa mu no se,
To chiengʼ motelone biro mar Saulo, noyudo ka Jehova Nyasaye osefwenyo ma ne Samuel.
16 “Ɔkyena sesɛɛ, mɛsoma obi afi Benyamin asase so. Sra no ngo, na ɔmmɛyɛ me nkurɔfo Israelfo kannifo. Obegye wɔn afi Filistifo nsam. Mede ahummɔbɔ ahwɛ me nkurɔfo, na mate wɔn sufrɛ.”
“Kiny kar sa ma kama abiro oro ngʼato moa e piny Benjamin. Wire mondo otel ne joga ma jo-Israel, enores joga e lwet jo-Filistia. Asekecho joga nimar ywakgi osechopona.”
17 Bere a Samuel huu Saulo ara pɛ, Awurade kae se, “Oyi ne ɔbarima a mekaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wo no. Ɔno na obedi me nkurɔfo so no.”
Kane Samuel ogoyo wangʼe kuom Saulo, Jehova Nyasaye ne owachone niya, “Ma e ngʼat mane awuoyoni kuome nibiro rito ogandana.”
18 Saulo kɔɔ Samuel nkyɛn wɔ abɔntenpon no ano kobisaa no se, “Wubetumi akyerɛ me baabi a ɔdehufo no fi wɔ ana?”
Saulo nodhi ir Samuel e dhorangach mopenje niya, “Kiyie to nyisa od janen?”
19 Samuel buae se, “Mene ɔdehufo no. Di mʼanim kan wɔ bepɔw no so, kɔ faako a wɔbɔ afɔre hɔ, na yɛn nyinaa bedidi wɔ hɔ. Anɔpa, mɛkyerɛ wo nea wopɛ sɛ wuhu, na magya wo kwan.
Samuel nodwoke niya, “An e janen. Tel nyima idhi kama owal maler nimar kawuono ibiro chiemo koda kendo kiny gokinyi abiro weyi idhi kendo ananyisi mago duto man e chunyi.
20 Na mfurum a wɔyeraa nnɛnnansa no, mma wɔn ho asɛm nhaw wo koraa, efisɛ wɔahu wɔn. Na mepɛ sɛ meka kyerɛ wo se, Israel anidaso nyinaa yɛ wo ne wo fifo.”
Kor ka wach punde mane olal ndalo adek mokadho to owe chandi nimar oseyudgi. Koso en ngʼa ma chuny jo-Israel duto dwaro ka ok en in gi od wuonu?”
21 Saulo buae se, “So mimfi Benyamin a ɛyɛ abusua ketewa koraa wɔ mmusuakuw no mu. Na me fi nso nyɛ ketewa koraa wɔ Benyamin afi no nyinaa mu. Na adɛn nti na woka eyi kyerɛ me?”
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Donge an ja-Benjamin, oganda matin ahinya ei Israel, to donge dhoodwa bende e dhoot matin, moloyo ei oganda mar Benjamin? Angʼo momiyo iwacho wechegi kuoma?”
22 Enti Samuel de Saulo ne ne somfo no baa asa so hɔ. Ɔma wɔtenaa wɔn a wɔato nsa afrɛ wɔn no pon ti, de hyɛɛ wɔn anuonyam wɔ nnipa dodow bɛyɛ sɛ aduasa no anim.
Eka Samuel nokelo Saulo gi jatije kar budho moketogi gibet e kom manyime kuom ji duto mane oluongo mane nyalo romo ji piero adek.
23 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ osoodoni no se, “Fa nam sin a mede maa wo no bra, nea wɔde asie ama nea wɔrehyɛ no anuonyam no.”
Samuel ne onyiso jatedo niya, “Kel lemo mar ringʼo mane amiyi, mane anyisi ni iket tenge.”
24 Enti osoodoni no de ba bɛtoo Saulo anim. Samuel kae se, “Di nea wɔde asi wʼanim no. Mede sie maa wo ansa na mereto nsa afrɛ afoforo yi.” Enti Saulo ne Samuel didii.
Eka jatedo nokawo em gi sembe moketo e nyim Saulo. Samuel nowacho niya, “Ma e gima nokan-ni, cham, nikech nokan-nigo ne nyasini, chakre e kinde mane aluongoe welo.” Eka Saulo nochiemo gi Samuel chiengʼno.
25 Aponto no akyi a wɔsan baa kurow no mu no, Samuel de Saulo kɔɔ atifi dan mu kosiesie nnabea maa no.
Kane gisea e kama owal mi gidwogo e dala, Samuel nowuoyo gi Saulo ka gin kode ewi ode malo.
26 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Samuel kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn kɔfrɛɛ no se, “Sɔre! Anka ɛsɛ sɛ saa bere yi wonam kwan so.” Enti Saulo siesiee ne ho na ɔne Samuel nyinaa bɔɔ mu fii fie hɔ.
Ne gichiewo ka piny yawore, eka Samuel noluongo Saulo ewi ot, kowachone niya, “Ikri abiro gonyi mondo ichak wuodhi.” Kane Saulo oseikore, en kod Samuel ne giwuok oko.
27 Woduu kurotia no, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ ɔnsoma ne somfo no nni wɔn kan. Ɔsomfo no kɔe no, Samuel kae se, “Tena ha, efisɛ Onyankopɔn de nkra sononko bi ama me a, ɛsɛ sɛ meka kyerɛ wo.”
Kane oyudo gin e bath dala, Samuel nowachone Saulo niya, “Nyis jatichni mondo otel, in to dongʼ chien mondo amiyi wach moa kuom Nyasaye.” Omiyo jatijno notimo kamano.
