Buku Mutanshi wa Samwela

15 Kepo Samwela aambijile Saulo amba: “Yehoba wantumine kukushinga manyi amba wikale mfumu wa bantu banji bena Isalela;+ pano umvwa byaamba Yehoba.+ 2 Yehoba wa mabumba waamba’mba: ‘Nkazhachisha bena Amaleki pa bintu byo baubile ku bena Isalela byo bebalwishishenga kimye kyo bajinga pa lwendo kufuma mu Ijipita.+ 3 Pano yanga, ukepaye bena Amaleki,+ ne kwibonawina+ pamo na bintu byonse byo baji nabyo. Kechi wafwainwa kwibaleka* ne; wafwainwa kwibepaya,+ banabalume ne banabakazhi, baana ne baana bakyamwa, bañombe ne mikooko, ne bangamela ne bambongolo.’”+ 4 Saulo waichile bantu ku Telaimu ne kwibabala: Bajinga bashilikale 200,000 benda panshi ne banabalume bena Yuda 10,000.+

5 Saulo wayile kwipi na muzhi wa Amaleki ne kubelamina mu kimpachiko.* 6 Kepo Saulo aambijile bena Keni+ amba: “Fumaiko ku bena Amaleki, kuchina’mba nakemwipayila pamo nabo.+ Mambo anweba mwamwesheshe butemwe bubula kwaluka ku bena Isalela+ bonse kimye kyo bafuminenga mu Ijipita.” Byonkabyo bena Keni bafumineko ku bena Amaleki. 7 Byo apwishishe kuba bino, Saulo waipayile bena Amaleki+ kufuma ku Havila+ kukafika ne ku Shula,+ kwipi na Ijipita. 8 Wakwachile Agagi+ mfumu wa Amaleki kwa kubula kumwipaya, bino bantu bonse bashala wibepayile na mpoko.+ 9 Nangwa byonkabyo, Saulo ne bantu banji bakaine kwipaya* Agagi ne bilelwa byonse byawama, bañombe balume, banyama banuna, mikooko ilume, ne bintu byonse byawamine.+ Kechi bakebelenga kwibyonauna ne. Pakuba bintu byonse byabujile kunema ne byo babujilenga kukeba, byonse bebyonawine.

10 Kepo Yehoba abuujile Samwela amba: 11 “Nelangulusha* byo natongwele Saulo kwikala mfumu, mambo waleka kundondela kabiji kechi wauba byo naambile ne.”+ Samwela wazhingijile bingi, kabiji watwajijiletu na kujijila Yehoba bufuku bonse.+ 12 Samwela byo aimene lukelo kuya na kusambakana Saulo, Samwela bamubuujile’mba: “Saulo wayile ku Kamela,+ kabiji waimikile kibumbwaloba kyanji konkakwa.+ Kepo afumineko ne kuya ku Giligala.” 13 Samwela byo afikile ko ajinga, Saulo wamwambijile’mba: “Yehoba emupeshe. Nauba byonka byaambile Yehoba.” 14 Bino Samwela waambile’mba: “Nanchi kuno kujila kwa banyama ne kujila kwa bañombe ko mbena kumvwa kwatala mwepi?”+ 15 Kepo Saulo amukumbwile’mba: “Bebafumishe ku bena Amaleki, mambo bantu bakaine kwipaya* banyama bawama ne bañombe kuba’mba bakebalambule kwi Yehoba Lesa wenu; pakuba byonse byashajile twibyonawine.” 16 Ponkapo Samwela waambijile Saulo amba: “Kileke! Leka nkubuule byaji kuñambila Yehoba bufuku.”+ Ne aye wamwambijile’mba: “Ambai!”

17 Samwela waambile’mba: “Nanchi kechi wimwenengatu wabula kunema+ kimye kyo bakutongwele kwikala ntangi wa mikoka ya bena Isalela, ne Yehoba byo akushingile manyi amba wikale mfumu wa bena Isalela nenyi?+ 18 Yehoba wakupele mwingilo ne kukwambila’mba, ‘Yanga ukonaune bena Amaleki bantu babi.+ Ukalwe nabo kufikatu ne byo ukebonauna.’+ 19 Pano mambo ka o wabujile kukookela jiwi ja Yehoba? Pakuba obewa wanyemejile pa bipukulwa+ na mambo a lwiso ne kuba bintu byatama kwi Yehoba!”

20 Nangwa byonkabyo, Saulo waambijile Samwela amba: “Bino nakookejile byaambile Yehoba! Nayile ko antumine Yehoba, kabiji naletele Agagi mfumu wa bena Amaleki, kabiji naipayile bena Amaleki.+ 21 Bino pa bintu byo bafwainwe konauna, bantu basendelepo mikooko ne bañombe bawama kuba’mba bakebalambule kwi Yehoba Lesa wenu ku Giligala.”+

22 Kepo Samwela aambile’mba: “Nanchi Yehoba usekela mu milambo ya kusoka ne mu bitapisho+ kukila kukookela jiwi ja Yehoba nyi? Umvwa! Kukookela kwanema kukila kitapisho,+ ne kuta muchima ku bintu kwanema kukila mafuta+ a mikooko ilume; 23 mambo bunsatuki+ bujitu pamo na mambo a kupongesha,+ ne kuba bintu na kwilundumika po pamotu na kuba bingelekezha ne kupopwela bankishi.* Byo wakana byaambile Yehoba,+ ne aye wakukana kwikala mfumu.”+

24 Kepo Saulo aambijile Samwela amba: “Nalenga mambo, mambo kechi nalondejile mukambizho wa Yehoba ne byambo byenu ne, mambo nachiine bantu ne kumvwina byo baambile. 25 Pano napopwela, ndekelaiko mambo, kabiji tuyile pamo kuba’mba nkafukame kwi Yehoba.”+ 26 Bino Samwela waambijile Saulo amba: “Kechi nsakubwela ne obewa ne, mambo wakana byaambile Yehoba, ne Yehoba wakukana kutwajijila kwikala mfumu wa bena Isalela.”+ 27 Samwela byo aalulukile amba ayenga, Saulo wamukwachile ku mufumo wa mukangyo wabula maboko, bino watabukile. 28 Kepo Samwela amwambijile’mba: “Lelo jino Yehoba watabula bufumu bwa Isalela kufuma kwi obewa, kabiji ukebupana ku mukwenu wawama kukila obewa.+ 29 Kabiji aye wa Bulume wa bena Isalela+ kechi ubepa+ nangwa kupimpula milanguluko yanji* ne, mambo aye kechi muntu kya kuba’mba apimpule milanguluko yanji* ne.”+

30 Ponkapo waambile’mba: “Nalenga mambo. Bino nnemekai ku bakulumpe ba bantu bami ne ku bena Isalela. Tubwelele pamo, ne amiwa nkamufukamina Yehoba Lesa wenu.”+ 31 Kabiji Samwela wayile kunyuma ya kwa Saulo, ne Saulo wafukamine kwi Yehoba. 32 Kabiji Samwela waambile’mba: “Muletai kwi amiwa Agagi mfumu wa bena Amaleki.” Ne Agagi wayile kwi aye kwa kubula kwakamwa,* mambo Agagi walangulukilenga amba: ‘Kechi basakungipaya ne.’ 33 Nangwa byonkabyo, Samwela waambile’mba: “Byonkatu mpoko yobe byo yalengela banabakazhi kufwisha baana, ne bainobe nabo basakukilamo kwikala na bulanda pa banabakazhi bonse.” Ponkapo Samwela watetawile Agagi mu bipimvwa ku meso a Yehoba ku Giligala.+

34 Kepo Samwela ayile ku Lama, ne Saulo wayile ku nzubo yanji ku Gibea. 35 Samwela kechi wamonañenepo ne Saulo jikwabo ne, kufikatu ne juba jo afwile, mambo Samwela wayile na kumujila Saulo.+ Kabiji Yehoba wilangulwishenga pa kutongola Saulo kwikala mfumu wa bena Isalela.+
