Igitabo cya mbere cya Samweli
10 Samweli afata icupa ry’amavuta ayasuka ku mutwe wa Sawuli.+ Aramusoma, aramubwira ati: “Yehova agusutseho amavuta kugira ngo ube umuyobozi+ w’abantu be.*+ 2 Uyu munsi nitumara gutandukana, ukagera i Selusa mu karere k’abakomoka kuri Benyamini, hafi y’imva ya Rasheli,+ urahasanga abagabo babiri. Bari bukubwire bati: ‘indogobe wari wagiye gushaka zarabonetse. Ubu papa wawe ntagihangayikishijwe n’indogobe,+ ahubwo ahangayikishijwe namwe. Aribaza ati: “ko umuhungu wanjye ataragaruka, ndabigira nte?”’ 3 Ukomeze ugende, ugere ku giti kinini cy’i Tabori. Nuhagera urahura n’abagabo batatu bazamutse bagiye gusenga Imana y’ukuri i Beteli.+ Umwe ari bube afite abana b’ihene batatu, undi afite imigati itatu, naho undi yikoreye ikibindi kinini kirimo divayi. 4 Barakubaza amakuru, hanyuma baguhe imigati ibiri. Iyo migati uyakire. 5 Nyuma yaho uri bugere ku musozi w’Imana y’ukuri, ahari ingabo z’Abafilisitiya. Nugera mu mujyi, urahasanga itsinda ry’abahanuzi bamanuka bavuye ahantu hirengeye ho gusengera kandi baraba barimo guhanura. Imbere yabo haraba hari abantu bacuranga inanga nto n’inanga nini, bavuza ingoma n’umwirongi. 6 Umwuka wa Yehova uratuma ugira imbaraga,+ uhanurane n’abo bahanuzi maze uhinduke undi muntu.+ 7 Ibyo bintu byose nibiba,* ukore ibyo ufitiye ububasha byose kuko Imana y’ukuri iri bube iri kumwe nawe. 8 Hanyuma uzamanuke untange i Gilugali,+ nanjye nzamanuka mpagusange ntambe ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro n’ibitambo bisangirwa.* Uzategereze iminsi irindwi kugeza nje, hanyuma nzakubwira icyo ugomba gukora.”
9 Nuko Sawuli agihindukira ngo atandukane na Samweli, Imana itangira guhindura umutima we kandi kuri uwo munsi bya bintu byose biraba.* 10 Sawuli n’umugaragu we bava aho bajya ku musozi, ahura n’itsinda ry’abahanuzi. Umwuka w’Imana utuma agira imbaraga+ atangira guhanurana+ na bo. 11 Nuko abari bamuzi bose bamubonye ari kumwe n’abahanuzi ahanura, barabazanya bati: “Byagendekeye bite umuhungu wa Kishi? Ese Sawuli na we ni umuhanuzi?” 12 Umuturage waho arasubiza ati: “Ariko se aba bandi bo, ba papa babo murabazi?” Aho ni ho haturutse imvugo* ivuga ngo: “Ese Sawuli na we ni umuhanuzi?”+
13 Arangije guhanura ajya ahantu hirengeye ho gusengera. 14 Umugabo uvukana na papa wa Sawuli, abaza Sawuli n’umugaragu we ati: “Mwari mwaragiye he?” Sawuli aramusubiza ati: “Twari twaragiye gushaka indogobe+ ariko turazibura maze tujya kwa Samweli.” 15 Uwo mugabo arababwira ati: “Ndabinginze, nimumbwire ibyo Samweli yababwiye.” 16 Sawuli aramusubiza ati: “Yatubwiye ko indogobe zabonetse.” Ariko Sawuli ntiyamubwira ko Samweli yavuze ko yari kuba umwami.
17 Samweli ateranyiriza abantu imbere ya Yehova i Misipa.+ 18 Nuko abwira Abisirayeli ati: “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yavuze ati: ‘ni njye wakuye Abisirayeli mu gihugu cya Egiputa,+ mbakiza Abanyegiputa n’abandi bami bose babatotezaga. 19 Ariko uyu munsi mwanze Imana yanyu+ yabakijije ibibi byose n’imibabaro yanyu. Ahubwo mwaravuze muti: “Dushyirireho umwami uzadutegeka.” None nimuhagarare imbere ya Yehova mukurikije imiryango yanyu n’amatsinda y’abantu igihumbi igihumbi.”
20 Nuko Samweli ateranyiriza hamwe imiryango yose ya Isirayeli+ maze hatoranywa umuryango w’abakomoka kuri Benyamini.+ 21 Hanyuma yigiza hafi imiryango y’abakomoka kuri Benyamini, hatoranywa umuryango w’Abamatiri. Nyuma Sawuli umuhungu wa Kishi aba ari we utoranywa,+ ariko baramushakisha baramubura. 22 Babaza Yehova bati:+ “Ese uwo muntu yaje?” Yehova arabasubiza ati: “Nguriya yihishe mu mizigo.” 23 Bariruka baramuzana. Ahagaze mu bantu hagati, umuremure muri bose amugera ku rutugu.+ 24 Samweli abwira abantu bose ati: “Ese mwabonye uwo Yehova yatoranyije?+ Nta wundi umeze nka we mu bantu bose?” Nuko abantu bose bavugira rimwe bati: “Umwami arakabaho!”
25 Samweli asobanurira abantu ibyo umwami yari kubasaba,+ abyandika mu gitabo maze agishyira imbere ya Yehova. Hanyuma asezerera abantu bose, buri wese ajya iwe. 26 Sawuli na we asubira iwe i Gibeya, aherekejwe n’abasirikare Yehova yari yashishikarije kujyana na we. 27 Ariko abantu b’ibyigomeke baravuga bati: “Ubu se, uyu azadukiza?”+ Baramusuzugura, banga no kugira impano bamuha.+ Ariko Sawuli aricecekera ntiyagira icyo avuga.
