1 Awurade bisaa Samuel sɛ, “Woadi Saulo ho awerɛhoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ. Mapo no sɛ Israel ɔhene. Fa ngo gu wo toa mu, na tutu so kɔ Betlehem. Hwehwɛ obi a wɔfrɛ no Yisai na mayi ne mmammarima no mu baako sɛ ɔnyɛ me ɔhene foforɔ.”
BAWIPA ni Samuel koe Isarel lathueng hoi ukkung lah onae dawk hoi ka pahnawt e na hmu eiteh Sawl kecu dawk bangkong na lung a mathoe han. Na ki dawk satui hlun nateh cet haw. Bethlehem kho e Jesi koe na patoun han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a capanaw thung dawk siangpahrang lah tami buet touh ka pouk tangcoung e ao telah atipouh.
2 Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ dɛn ayɛ yei? Sɛ Saulo te a ɔbɛkum me.” Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa nantwie ba ka wo ho, na ka sɛ, maba sɛ merebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade.
Samuel ni bangtelamaw khuet ka cei thai han. Sawl ni thai pawiteh na thei han doeh telah ati. BAWIPA ni maitolaca lat nateh BAWIPA koe thueng hanelah ka tho han ti pouh han.
3 To nsa frɛ Yisai na ɔmmra afɔrebɔ no, na mɛkyerɛ wo ne mmammarima no mu deɛ wobɛsra no ngo ama me.”
Jesi haiyah thuengnae koe coun nateh, na sak hane na patue vaiteh, nang koe ka dei e hah kai hane satui na awi han telah atipouh.
4 Samuel yɛɛ deɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ɛberɛ a ɔduruu Betlehem no, ɛhɔ mpanimfoɔ no bɔɔ hu. Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ mu anaa?”
Samuel ni, BAWIPA e kâ poe e patetlah a sak teh Bethlehem vah a cei, a thonae ni kho thung e kacuenaw a tâlueng sak. Roumnae hoi na tho maw telah atipouh awh.
5 Samuel buaa sɛ, “Aane, asomdwoeɛ mu. Merebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Monnwira mo ho, na mommɛka me ho na yɛmmɔ.” Enti, Samuel dwiraa Yisai ne ne mmammarima no na ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ wɔn afɔrebɔ no ase.
Samuel ni roumnae hoi doeh. BAWIPA koe thuengnae ka sak hanelah ka tho. Kamthoung awh nateh thuengnae koe tho van awh atipouh. Jeese hoi a capanaw a kamthoung sak awh hnukkhu ahnimanaw hah thuengnae koe a coun.
6 Wɔduruiɛ no, Samuel hunuu Eliab na ɔdwenee sɛ, “Ampa, deɛ Awurade asra noɔ no ni.”
Ahnimouh a tho awh toteh Samuel ni Eliab hah a hmu toteh BAWIPA ni satui a awi e tami teh het han doeh telah ati navah,
7 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Nhwɛ nʼahoɔfɛ ne ne tenten, ɛfiri sɛ, mapo no. Awurade nhwɛ nneɛma sɛdeɛ nnipa hwɛ no. Onipa hwɛ deɛ aniwa hunu, na Awurade deɛ, ɔhwɛ akoma mu.”
BAWIPA ni a meilam a tungtang khen hanh, Kai ni ahni teh ka pahnawt toe. Kai teh tami ni a khet e patetlah ka khen hoeh. Tami ni teh avanlah doeh a khet. BAWIPA teh a lungthin ka khen e doeh telah ati.
8 Na Yisai frɛɛ Abinadab maa ɔtwaam Samuel anim. Nanso, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Yei nyɛ deɛ Awurade ayi no.”
Jesi ni Abinadab a kaw teh Samuel hmalah a ceisak. Ahni ni het hai BAWIPA ni a rawi e nahoeh telah ati.
9 Yisai maa Sama twaam, nanso Samuel kaa sɛ, “Saa ara na Awurade nyii yei.”
Jesi ni Samah bout a ceisak ahni hai BAWIPA ni a rawi e nahoeh telah ati.
10 Yisai maa ne mmammarima baason bɛfaa Samuel anim, na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade nyii wɔn mu biara.”
Jesi ni a capa 7 touh Samuel hmalah a ceisak. Samuel ni Jesi koevah BAWIPA ni hetnaw rawi hoeh telah ati.
11 Enti, ɔbisaa Yisai sɛ, “Mmammarima a wowɔ nyinaa ni anaa?” Yisai buaa sɛ, “Akumaa pa ara wɔ hɔ, nanso ɔrehwɛ nnwan.” Samuel kaa sɛ, “Soma na wɔnkɔfa no mmra seesei. Sɛ ɔmmaeɛ a, yɛrentena ase nnidi.”
Samuel ni Jesi koe hi vah na canaw koung a kuep maw, atipouh. Ahni na cahnoung ao rah, hatei tu a khoum telah bout a dei pouh navah, tami patoun nateh kaw sak haw, hi a tho hoehroukrak tahung awh mahoeh telah Samuel ni atipouh.
12 Enti, Yisai soma ma wɔkɔfaa no baeɛ. Na ɔyɛ bɔkɔɔ a ahoɔfɛ adware no na nʼani yɛ fɛ. Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɔre na sra no ngo. Ɔno nie.”
Hatdawkvah tami a patoun teh a kaw teh a kâenkhai, ahni teh a sam palingvuek, a mit padai e hai a kamcu teh a mei hai ahawi. BAWIPA ni het nan mah thaw nateh ahni hah satui awi haw atipouh.
13 Enti, Samuel faa toa a ngo wɔ mu no sraa no wɔ ne nuanom anim. Na, ɛfiri saa ɛda no, Awurade honhom baa Dawid so wɔ tumi mu. Samuel kɔɔ Rama.
Hottelahoi Samuel ni ki dawk hoi satui a la teh a hmaunaw rahak ahni teh satui a awi. Hat na hnin totouh hoi teh BAWIPA e Muitha teh Devit van a pha. Samuel a thaw teh Ramah kho lah a cei.
14 Saa ɛberɛ yi na Awurade honhom afiri Saulo so. Na Awurade maa ɔhaw honhom bɛhyɛɛ no ma. Ɛmaa ɔtenaa ase ehu ne suro mu.
BAWIPA e Muitha teh Sawl dawk hoi a kampuen teh BAWIPA koehoi e muitha kathout ni a lungpuen sak.
15 Ɛbaa saa no, Saulo asomfoɔ no bi kyerɛɛ adwene bi sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ honhommɔne bi na ɛreha wo.
Sawl e a sannaw ni ahni koevah, khenhaw! BAWIPA koehoi e muitha kathout ni runae a poe e doeh.
16 Sɛ saa a, ɛnneɛ, momma yɛmpɛ sankubɔfoɔ papa bi, na sɛ honhom no ba bɛha wo a, wabɔ nnwom ama wo. Sankuo so nnwom bɛdwodwo wo. Na ɛrenkyɛre, wo ho bɛtɔ wo bio.”
Nang koe kaawm awh e na sannaw hah ratoung ka kueng thai e tawng hanelah atu kâ na poe awh haw. Cathut koe e Muitha mathout a tho toteh, ahni ni a kut hoi ratoung a kueng vaiteh na hawi han doeh telah atipouh awh.
17 Saulo kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ asɛm papa. Monhwehwɛ sankubɔni papa bi na momfa no mmra ha.”
Sawl ni a sannaw koe ka kueng thai e na tawng pouh nateh kai koe thokhai awh telah ati.
18 Asomfoɔ no mu baako ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Yisai a ɔfiri Betlehem babarima baako nim sankuo bɔ yie. Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko. Ɔyɛ ɔkokoɔdurufoɔ hoɔdenfoɔ, na ɔyɛ ɔbadwemma nso. Ɔyɛ aberanteɛ a ne ho yɛ fɛ, na Awurade ka ne ho.”
A sannaw thung dawk e buet touh ni khenhaw! Bethlehem kho e Jesi capa ratoung kueng kathoum poung e a thakaawme, taran ka tuk thai e, lawkdei kathoum e, a mei ka hawi poung e, ka hmu toe. Ahni koe BAWIPA ao atipouh.
19 Enti, Saulo tuu abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Yisai hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo babarima Dawid a ɔyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ no brɛ me.”
Sawl ni Jesi koe patounenaw a patoun teh tu ka khoum e capa hah kai koe patoun haw telah atipouh.
20 Yisai penee so de Dawid kɔmaa Saulo a abirekyie ba ne afunumu a wɔahyehyɛ aduane ne nsã wɔ ne so ka ho.
Jesi ni la buet touh a la teh ca hane naw, vaiyei hoi misurtui um touh hoi hmaeca hoi a capa Devit hah Sawl koe a patoun.
21 Enti, Dawid kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn kɔsom no. Na Saulo pɛ Dawid asɛm yie, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Saulo akodeɛkurafoɔ no mu baako.
Devit ni Sawl koe a pha toteh a hmalah a kangdue, ahni ni a lung hroung a pataw teh senehmaica kasinkung lah a hruek.
22 Na Saulo too Yisai nkra sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, ma Dawid mmɛka mʼadwumayɛfoɔ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, mepɛ nʼasɛm yie.”
Sawl ni Jesi koevah, pahren lahoi Devit heh kai koe awm na nei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lungyouk telah dei pouh hane tami a patoun.
23 Na ɛberɛ biara a honhommɔne a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn bɛba Saulo so abɛha no no, Dawid bɔ sankuo no. Ɛba saa a, Saulo ho tɔ no, na honhommɔne no nso kɔ.
Cathut koehoi muitha mathout teh Sawl koe a phanae tueng dawk Devit ni ratoung a la teh a kueng. Sawl teh bout a thangcuem teh, bout a dam. Muitha mathout ni hai a kangheng takhai.
