< 1 Samuel 10 >
1 Afei, Samuel faa ngotoa a ngo wɔ mu hwie guu Saulo tirim, fee nʼafono ho, kaa sɛ, “Mereyɛ yei de akyerɛ sɛ Awurade apa wo sɛ ɔkannifoɔ ama ne ɔman Israel.
Ndipo Samueli anatenga botolo la mafuta nathira mafutawo pa mutu wa Sauli ndipo anapsompsona nati, “Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake, Aisraeli. Iwe udzalamulira anthu a Yehova ndiponso udzawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani awo owazungulira. Chizindikiro chakuti Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake ndi ichi:
2 Sɛ wogya me ha ɛnnɛ na worekɔ a, wobɛhyia mmarima baanu wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Rahel ɛda a ɛwɔ Selsa a ɛbɛn Benyamin hyeɛ no. Wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Mfunumu a motuu ho anammɔn kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn no, wɔahu wɔn. Enti, seesei, wʼagya agyae wɔn ho dwene, na mmom, mo ho na ɔredwene. Ɔtaa bisa sɛ, “Obi ahunu me babarima no anaa?”’
Ukachoka pano lero lino, udzakumana ndi amuna awiri kufupi ndi manda a Rakele ku Zeliza mʼmalire mwa dziko la Benjamini ndipo adzakuwuza kuti, ‘Abulu amene munkafunafuna aja apezeka. Ndipo tsopano abambo ako asiya kuganiza za abulu ndipo akudera nkhawa za iwe.’ Iwo akufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzachita chiyani mmene mwana wanga sakuoneka?’”
3 “Moduru dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Tabor ho a mobɛhyia mmarima baasa bi a wɔfiri Bet-El rekɔ akɔsom Onyankopɔn. Ɔbaako so mmirekyie mma mmiɛnsa, ɔbaako nso so burodo mua mmiɛnsa ɛnna deɛ ɔka ho no nso so nsã aboa nwoma kotokuo baako.
“Ndipo udzapyola pamenepo ndi kufika ku mtengo wa thundu wa ku Tabori. Kumeneko udzakumana ndi anthu atatu akupita kukapereka nsembe ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Beteli. Mmodzi adzakhala atanyamula ana ambuzi atatu, wina atanyamula malofu atatu a buledi, ndi winayo atanyamula thumba la vinyo.
4 Wɔbɛkyea mo, na wɔama mo burodo mua mmienu, na ɛsɛ sɛ mogye firi wɔn nkyɛn.
Adzakupatsa moni ndi kukupatsa malofu awiri a buledi. Iwe udzalandire bulediyo.
5 “Na sɛ moduru Onyankopɔn kokoɔ a ɛwɔ Gibea a Filistifoɔ akodɔm abɔ kyɛmpem wɔ hɔ no a, mobɛhunu adiyifoɔ asafodɔm sɛ wɔfiri afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ bepɔ no so hɔ resiane ba. Ɛhɔ na mobɛhyia adiyifoɔ asafo a wɔresiane firi bepɔ no so hɔ reba na bɛnta ne mpintin ne mmɛn ne nsankuo di wɔn anim a wɔrehyɛ nkɔm.
“Pambuyo pake, udzafike ku Gibeyati-Elohimu, kumene kuli gulu la ankhondo la Afilisti. Pamene ukuyandikira mzindawo, udzakumana ndi gulu la aneneri akutsika kuchokera ku phiri, akuyimba zeze, ngʼoma, zitoliro ndi pangwe, ndiponso akulosera.
6 Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade Honhom bɛba wo so wɔ tumi mu, na wo ne wɔn bɛhyɛ nkɔm. Wobɛsakyera ayɛ onipa foforɔ.
Kenaka Mzimu wa Yehova udzabwera pa iwe ndi mphamvu, ndipo udzayamba kulosera nawo pamodzi. Ndipo udzasinthika kukhala munthu wina.
7 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ yi akyi no, yɛ deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ biara, na Onyankopɔn bɛka wo ho.
Zizindikiro izi zikakachitika, dzachite chilichonse manja ako angathe kuchita, pakuti Mulungu ali nawe.
8 Afei, siane di mʼanim kɔ Gilgal na kɔtwɛn me wɔ hɔ nnanson. Mɛba abɛka wo ho wɔ hɔ, na yɛabɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ. Na sɛ meduru hɔ a, mɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ bio.”
“Tsono tsogola kupita ku Giligala. Ine ndidzabwera ndithu kudzapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Koma ukandidikire masiku asanu ndi awiri mpaka ine nditabwera kuti ndidzakuwuze zomwe udzachite.”
9 Saulo danee ne ho pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ara pɛ, Onyankopɔn sesaa nʼakoma, na Samuel nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nyinaa baa mu da no.
Sauli akutembenuka kusiyana ndi Samueli, Mulungu anasintha mtima wa Sauli, ndipo zinthu zonsezi zinakwaniritsidwa tsiku lomwelo.
10 Ɛberɛ a Saulo ne ne ɔsomfoɔ no duruu Gibea no, wɔhunuu sɛ adiyifoɔ no reba. Afei Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso hyɛɛ aseɛ hyɛɛ nkɔm.
Atafika ku Gibeya, anakumana ndi gulu la aneneri. Mzimu wa Mulungu unabwera pa iye mwamphamvu, nayamba kulosa nawo.
11 Ɛberɛ a ne nnamfonom tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔteaam sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na moreka yi? Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kis babarima tumi bɛyɛɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”
Pamene onse amene ankamudziwa kale anamuona akulosera pamodzi ndi aneneri, anafunsana wina ndi mnzake. “Kodi nʼchiyani chachitika ndi mwana wa Kisi? Kodi Sauli alinso mʼgulu la aneneri?”
12 Nanso, ɛhɔni bi kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ nʼagya te deɛ, ɛmfa ho; obiara tumi bɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni.” Enti, ɛbɛyɛɛ sɛnnahɔ sɛ, “Enti, Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”
Munthu wina wa kumeneko anayankha kuti, “Nanga enawa abambo awo ndani?” Kotero kunayambika mwambi wakuti, “Kodi Saulinso ali mʼgulu la aneneri?”
13 Saulo gyaee nkɔmhyɛ no, ɔforo bepɔ no kɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
Sauli atasiya kuloserako, anapita ku kachisi ku phiri.
14 Ɔduruu hɔ no, Saulo wɔfa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhefa na wokɔeɛ a dadaada yɛnhunuu wo yi?” Saulo buaa sɛ, “Yɛkɔhwehwɛɛ mfunumu a wɔayera no, nanso yɛanhunu wɔn. Ɛno enti, yɛkɔɔ odiyifoɔ Samuel nkyɛn kɔbisaa no baabi a wɔwɔ.”
Tsono amalume ake a Sauli anamufunsa ndi mnyamata wake kuti, “Munapita kuti?” Iye anayakha, “Timakafunafuna abulu koma titaona kuti sakupezeka, tinapita kwa Samueli.”
15 Ne wɔfa no bisaa sɛ, “Saa? Na asɛm bɛn na ɔkaeɛ?”
Amalume ake a Sauli anati, “Chonde, ndifotokozereniko zimene Samueli wakuwuzani.”
16 Saulo buaa sɛ, “Ɔkaa sɛ, wɔahunu mfunumu no.” Nanso, Saulo anka ankyerɛ ne wɔfa no sɛ Samuel asra no ngo sɛ wɔbɛsi no ɔhene.
Sauli anati, “Iye anatitsimikizira kuti abulu anapezeka.” Koma sanawawuze amalume akewo za nkhani ija ya ufumu imene Samueli anamuwuza.
17 Samuel frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa baa Awurade anim wɔ Mispa,
Samueli anayitana Aisraeli onse kuti asonkhane pamaso pa Yehova ku Mizipa.
18 na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie, ‘Mede Israelfoɔ firi Misraim baeɛ, na megyee mo firii Misraim tumi ne wɔn a wɔdi mo nya no nyinaa ase.’
Ndipo anawuza Aisraeli onse kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ine ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kukupulumutsani mʼdzanja la Igupto ndi mʼdzanja la mafumu onse amene ankakuzunzani.’
19 Nanso, ɛwom sɛ mayɛ bebree ama mo deɛ, nso moapo me aka sɛ, ‘Yɛpɛ ɔhene.’ Enti, afei, momfa mo mmusuakuo ne mo mmusua mmra Awurade anim.”
Koma lero mwamukana Mulungu wanu amene amakupulumutsani mʼmavuto anu onse ndi mʼzowawa zanu. Ndipo mukuti, ‘Ayi, koma mutipatse mfumu yotilamulira.’ Tsopanotu sonkhanani pamaso pa Yehova mwa mafuko ndi mabanja anu.”
20 Samuel maa Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa baeɛ no, Benyamin abusuakuo na wɔyii wɔn.
Samueli atasonkhanitsa mafuko onse a Israeli, fuko la Benjamini linasankhidwa.
21 Afei ɔmaa Benyamin abusuakuo no mu mmusua nyinaa baa Awurade anim na wɔyii Matri abusua, ɛnna awieeɛ no wɔyii Kis babarima Saulo. Na wɔhwehwɛɛ no no, na wɔnhunu baabi a wafa.
Anasonkhanitsa fuko la Benjamini banja ndi banja. Pomaliza anasonkhanitsa banja la Matiri mmodzimmodzi ndipo Sauli mwana wa Kisi anasankhidwa. Koma atamufunafuna, sanamupeze.
22 Enti, wɔbisaa Awurade sɛ, “Na ɔwɔ he?” Na Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, ɔde ne ho ahinta nneɛma mu.”
Tsono anthu anafunsanso kwa Yehova kuti, “Kodi munthuyu wabwera kale kuno?” Ndipo Yehova anayankha kuti, “Inde wabisala pakati pa katundu.”
23 Enti, wɔtuu mmirika kɔfaa no baeɛ. Na ɔbɛgyinaa nnipa no mu no na ne tenten bunkam fa obiara so.
Iwo anathamanga ndi kukamutenga kumeneko. Atayimirira pakati pa anthu anapezeka kuti anali wamtali kuposa anthu ena mwakuti ankamulekeza mʼmapewa.
24 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Ɔbarima a Awurade apa no sɛ mo ɔhene nie. Obiara nni Israel ha a ɔne no sɛ.” Afei, nnipa no nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
Samueli anafunsa anthu onse kuti, “Kodi mukumuona munthu amene Yehova wasankha? Palibe wofanana naye pakati pa anthu onse.” Kenaka anthu onse anafuwula kuti, “Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo wautali!”
25 Samuel kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara a ɛbata saa ahennie no ho kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔtwerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ so, de kɔtoo Awurade anim. Afei, Samuel gyaa ɔmanfoɔ no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ wɔn afie.
Samueli anafotokozera anthu ntchito ndi udindo wa mfumu. Pambuyo pake analemba mʼbuku zonse zokhudza ntchito ndi udindo wa mfumu, ndipo bukulo analiyika pamaso pa Yehova. Kenaka Samueli analola aliyense kuti abwerere kupita kwawo.
26 Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fie wɔ Gibea na nnipakuo bi a Onyankopɔn aka wɔn akoma de wɔn ho bɛbɔɔ no.
Sauli anapitanso ku mudzi kwawo ku Gibeya, pamodzi ndi anthu amphamvu amene Mulungu anawafewetsa mitima.
27 Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi agye yɛn?” Wɔsopaa no a wɔammrɛ no akyɛdeɛ biara. Nanso Saulo ammua wɔn.
Koma anthu ena achabechabe anati, “Kodi munthu uyu angathe bwanji kutipulumutsa?” Iwo anayamba kumunyoza Sauliyo, ndipo sankamupatsa ngakhale mphatso. Koma iye sanalabadireko.
