1 Samuel 12
1 Afei, Samuel kasa kyerɛɛ ɔman no bio sɛ, “Deɛ mopɛɛ sɛ meyɛ no mayɛ, mama mo ɔhene.
Pambuyo pake Samueli anawuza Aisraeli onse kuti, “Ine ndamvera zonse zimene munandiwuza ndipo ndakupatsani mfumu kuti izikulamulirani.
2 Matwa me mmammarima ho ayi no, na megyina ha sɛ akɔkoraa tidwono. Masom sɛ mo ɔkannifoɔ firi me mmɔfraase.
Tsopano muli ndi mfumu imene izikutsogolerani, koma ine ndakalamba, kumutu kwanga kuli imvi zokhazokha ndipo ana anga ali pamodzi ndi inu. Ndakhala ndili mtsogoleri wanu kuyambira ndili mnyamata mpaka lero.
3 Afei, monka nkyerɛ me, ɛberɛ a megyina Awurade ne deɛ wɔasra no wɔ ne din mu anim yi, hwan nantwie anaa nʼafunumu na mawia? Masisi mo mu bi pɛn anaa? Madi mo nya pɛn anaa? Magye adanmudeɛ bi pɛn anaa? Sɛ mayɛ bɔne bi a, monka nkyerɛ me, na mɛtenetene deɛ manyɛ no yie.”
Ine ndili pano. Ngati ndinalakwa chilichonse nditsutseni pamaso pa Yehova ndi wodzozedwa wake. Kodi ndinalanda ngʼombe ya yani? Kodi ndinalanda bulu wa yani? Kodi ndani amene ndinamudyera masuku pa mutu? Kodi ndinazunza yani? Kodi ndinalandira kwa yani chiphuphu choti nʼkundidetsa mʼmaso? Ngati ndinachita chilichonse cha izi, ine ndidzakubwezerani.”
4 Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Dabi, wonsisii yɛn, na wonnii yɛn nya ɛkwan biara so, na wonnyee adanmudeɛ fua pɛ mpo.”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Inu simunatidyere masuku pamutu kapena kutizunza. Simunalande kanthu kalikonse ka munthu.”
5 Samuel kaa sɛ, “Awurade ne ne onipa a wɔasra no no yɛ mʼadansefoɔ sɛ morentumi nka sɛ mabɔ mo korɔno.” Wɔn nyinaa kaa sɛ, “Ampa ara, ɛyɛ nokorɛ!”
Samueli anawawuza kuti, “Yehova ndiye mboni pakati pa inu ndi ine, ndiponso wodzozedwa wake ndi mboni kuti lero simunapeze chilichonse mʼdzanja langa.” Iwo anati, “Inde, Yehova ndiye mboni.”
6 Samuel toaa so sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔyii Mose ne Aaron. Ɔno na ɔyii mo agyanom firii Misraim asase so.
Samueli anawawuzanso kuti, “Yehova ndiye amene anasankha Mose ndi Aaroni kuti atulutse makolo anu mʼdziko la Igupto.
7 Seesei, monnyina ha dinn wɔ Awurade anim ɛberɛ a megu so rekaakae mo nneɛma akɛseɛ a Awurade ayɛ ama mo ne mo agyanom no.
Nʼchifukwa chake tsopano imani pomwepa kuti ndikufotokozereni pamaso pa Yehova, za ntchito za chipulumutso zimene Yehova anachitira inu ndi makolo anu.
8 “Ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ wɔ Misraim na wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade no, ɔsomaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ, wɔnnyi wɔn mfiri Misraim, na wɔmfa wɔn mmra saa asase yi so.
“Yakobo atapita ku dziko la Igupto, Aiguptowo akuwazunza, iwo analirira kwa Yehova kuti awathandize, ndipo Yehova anatumiza Mose ndi Aaroni, amene anatulutsa makolo anu mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kudzawakhazika pa malo ano.
9 “Nanso, ankyɛre biara na nnipa no werɛ firii Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, enti ɔmaa Sisera a ɔyɛ Hasor akodɔm sahene no ne Filistifoɔ ne Moabhene dii wɔn so.
“Koma iwo anayiwala Yehova Mulungu wawo, choncho Yehova anawapereka mʼdzanja la Sisera mkulu wa ankhondo wa mzinda wa Hazori, ndiponso mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi mfumu ya Mowabu. Mafumu onsewa anathira nkhondo makolo anu.
10 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade bio, na wɔpaee mu kaa wɔn bɔne sɛ, ‘Yɛayɛ bɔne sɛ yɛatwe yɛn ho afiri Awurade ho, na yɛresom ahoni Baalim ne Astoret. Na sɛ wogye yɛn firi yɛn atamfoɔ nsam a, yɛbɛsom wo, na wo nko ara na yɛbɛsom.’
Tsono iwo analira kwa Yehova nati, ‘Ife tachimwa, chifukwa tamusiya Yehova ndi kumatumikira mafano a Baala ndi Asiteroti. Koma tsopano tilanditseni mʼmanja mwa adani athu ndipo tidzakutumikirani.’
11 Na Awurade somaa Yerub-Baal, Barak, Yefta ne Samuel, na ɔgyee mo firii mo atamfoɔ nsam na mobɛtenaa asomdwoeɛ mu.
Choncho Yehova anatumiza Yeru-Baala, Bedani, Yefita ndi Samueli ndipo anakulanditsani mʼmanja mwa adani anu amene anakuzungulirani, kotero munakhala mwamtendere.
12 “Nanso, mosuroo Amonfoɔ ɔhene Nahas enti, moka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Dabi, yɛrepɛ ɔhene ama wadi yɛn so’—nanso na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn yɛ mo so ɔhene.
“Koma mutaona kuti Nahasi mfumu ya Amoni inkabwera kudzamenyana nanu, inu munandiwuza kuti, ‘Ayi, ife tikufuna mfumu kuti itilamulire,’ ngakhale kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye anali mfumu yanu.
13 Afei, mo ɔhene a moayi no nie; deɛ mobisaeɛ no. Hwɛ, Awurade ayɛ mo apɛdeɛ ama mo.
Tsopano nayi mfumu imene mwayisankha, imene munayipempha. Onani, Yehova wakupatsani mfumu.
14 Sɛ mosuro Awurade, na mosom no, tie nʼasɛm, na sɛ moammu ne mmara so, na mo ne mo ɔhene a ɔdi mo so no nyinaa di Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn akyi a, biribiara bɛyɛ yie.
Ngati muziopa Yehova ndi kumamutumikira ndi kumamumvera, osamupandukira ndiponso ngati inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mudzatsata Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndiye zinthu zonse zidzakuyenderani bwino.
15 Na sɛ moantie Awurade, na motia ne mmara a, ne nsa bɛyɛ duru wɔ mo so sɛdeɛ ɛyɛɛ mo agyanom so no.
Koma mukapanda kumvera Yehova ndi kumupandukira, ndiye adzakulangani pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu yomwe.
16 “Enti afei, monnyina hɔ dinn, na monhwɛ ade kɛseɛ a Awurade rebɛyɛ.
“Tsono imani pomwepa kuti muone chinthu chachikulu chimene Yehova ali pafupi kuchita pamaso panu!
17 Monim sɛ saa ɛberɛ yi a ɛyɛ ayuotwaberɛ yi, osuo nntɔ. Mɛma Awurade adwa aprannaa na ama osuo atɔ. Afei mobɛhunu bɔne a moyɛeɛ sɛ mobisaa ɔhene no.”
Kodi ino si nthawi yokolola tirigu? Komabe ndipemphera kwa Yehova kuti agwetse mvula ya mabingu. Zikatero mudzadziwa kuti tchimo lanu limene mwachita popempha mfumu kwa Yehova ndi lalikulu.”
18 Ɛhɔ ara Samuel frɛɛ Awurade, na ɛda no ara, Awurade dwaa aprannaa, tɔɔ osuo. Nnipa no nyinaa suroo Awurade ne Samuel.
Choncho Samueli anapemphera, ndipo Yehova anatumiza mvula ya mabingu tsiku lomwelo. Apo anthu aja anaopa kwambiri Yehova ndi Samueli.
19 Nnipa no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Bɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, mpaeɛ ma wʼasomfoɔ sɛdeɛ yɛrenwuo, na yɛrenyɛ bɔne nka yɛn bɔne ahodoɔ nyinaa ho sɛ yɛabisa ɔhene.”
Tsono anamupempha Samueli nati, “Chonde mutipempherere kwa Yehova, ife atumiki kuti tingafe pakuti pa machimo athu onse tawonjezapo tchimo lopempha mfumu.”
20 Samuel buaa sɛ, “Monnsuro. Moayɛ saa bɔne yi nyinaa bi deɛ, nanso monnnane mo ani mfiri Awurade so, na momfa mo akoma nyinaa nsom Awurade.
Samueli anayankha kuti, “Musaope, inu mwachitadi tchimo ili, koma musaleke kumutsata Yehova ndi kumutumikira ndi mtima wanu wonse.
21 Monnsane nkɔdi ahoni huhuo a wɔrenyɛ mo papa biara, na wɔrentumi nnye mo nkwa no akyi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn ho nni mfasoɔ.
Ndipo musatsate mafano achabechabe amene alibe phindu ndipo sangakupulumutseni popeza ndi achabechabe.
22 Esiane ne din kɛseɛ no enti, Awurade rempo ne nkurɔfoɔ. Awurade afa mo sɛ nʼankasa nʼadeɛ.
Yehova adzakana anthu ake kuopa kuti dzina lake lamphamvu linganyozeke, pakuti chinamukondweretsa Yehova kuti akusandutseni inu kukhala anthu ake.
23 Na me deɛ, merenyɛ bɔne ntia Awurade sɛ meremmɔ mpaeɛ mma mo. Na mɛkɔ so akyerɛ mo papa ne bɔne.
Ndiponso kunena za ine, zisachitike kuti ndichimwire Yehova pakulephera kukupemphererani. Ndipo ine ndidzakuphunzitsani njira yabwino ndi yolungama kuti muziyendamo.
24 Nanso, monhwɛ sɛ mobɛsuro Awurade na moasom no nokorɛm.
Koma onetsetsani kuti mukuopa Yehova ndi kumutumikira mokhulupirika ndi mtima wanu wonse. Nthawi zonse muziganizira zinthu zazikulu wakhala akukuchitirani.
25 Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ bɔne a, wɔbɛsɛe mo ne mo ɔhene nyinaa.”
Komabe mukapitirira kuchita zoyipa, ndiye kuti inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mudzachotsedwa.”
