3“Mudu dua kɛse bi a esi Tabor ho a, mubehyia mmarima baasa bi a wofi Bet-El rekɔ akɔsom Onyankopɔn. Ɔbaako so mmirekyi mma abiɛsa, ɔbaako nso so brodo mua abiɛsa, na nea ɔka ho no nso so nsa aboa nhoma kotoku baako. 4Wobekyia mo, na wɔama mo brodo mua abien, na ɛsɛ sɛ mugye fi wɔn nkyɛn.

Samuel Nsɛnkyerɛnne Ba Mu
9Saulo dan ne ho pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ara pɛ, Onyankopɔn sesaa ne koma, na Samuel nsɛnkyerɛnne nyinaa baa mu da no. 10Bere a Saulo ne ne somfo no duu Gibea no, wohuu sɛ adiyifo no reba. Afei Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso fii ase hyɛɛ nkɔm. 11Bere a ne nnamfonom tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Asɛm bɛn na moreka yi? Saulo nso abɛyɛ odiyifo? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kis babarima tumi bɛyɛɛ odiyifo?”
12Nanso ɛhɔni bi kae se, “Sɛnea nʼagya te de, ɛmfa ho; obiara tumi bɛyɛ odiyifo.” Enti ɛbɛyɛɛ sɛnnahɔ se, “Enti Saulo nso abɛyɛ odiyifo?” 13Saulo gyaee adiyi no, ɔforoo bepɔw no kɔɔ afɔremuka no so.
14Oduu hɔ no, Saulo wɔfa bisaa no se, “Ɛhefa na wokɔe a dedaada yenhuu wo yi?”
Saulo buae se, “Yɛkɔhwehwɛɛ mfurum a wɔayera no, nanso yɛanhu wɔn. Ɛno nti, yɛkɔɔ odiyifo Samuel nkyɛn kobisaa no faako a wɔwɔ.”
15Ne wɔfa no bisae se, “Saa? Na asɛm bɛn na ɔkae?”
16Saulo buae se, “Ɔkae se, wɔahu mfurum no.” Nanso Saulo anka ankyerɛ ne wɔfa no sɛ Samuel asra no ngo sɛ wobesi no ɔhene.
17Samuel frɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa baa Awurade anim wɔ Mispa,10.17 Mispa na na wɔtaa hyia ma ɔmanfo dwinnwen wɔn nsɛnhia ho (Ate 20.1; 21.1). 18na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se ni, ‘Mede Israelfo fii Misraim bae, na migyee mo fii Misraim tumi ne wɔn a wodi mo nya no nyinaa ase.’ 19Nanso ɛwɔ mu sɛ mayɛ bebree ama mo de, nso moapo me aka se, ‘Yɛpɛ ɔhene.’ Enti afei, momfa mo mmusuakuw ne mo mmusua mmra Awurade anim.”
20Samuel maa Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa bae no, Benyamin abusuakuw na woyii wɔn. 21Afei ɔmaa Benyamin abusuakuw no mu afi nyinaa baa Awurade anim na woyii Matri abusua, na awiei no woyii Kis babarima Saulo. Na wɔhwehwɛɛ no no, na wonhu baabi a wafa. 22Enti wobisaa Awurade se, “Na ɔwɔ he?”
Na Awurade buae se, “Yiw, ɔde ne ho ahintaw nneɛma mu.”
23Enti wotuu mmirika kɔfaa no bae. Na obegyinaa nnipa no mu no na ne tenten bunkam fa obiara so. 24Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Ɔbarima a Awurade apaw no sɛ mo hene ni. Obiara nni Israel ha a ɔne no sɛ.”
Afei, nnipa no nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
25Samuel kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara a ɛbata saa ahenni no ho kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔkyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee so, de kɔtoo Awurade anim. Afei, Samuel gyaa ɔmanfo no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ wɔn afi mu.
26Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fi wɔ Gibea na nnipakuw bi a Onyankopɔn aka wɔn koma de wɔn ho bɛbɔɔ no. 27Nanso amumɔyɛfo bi kae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi agye yɛn?” Wobuu no animtiaa a wɔammrɛ no akyɛde biara. Nanso Saulo ammua wɔn.

Sawulo Afuulibwa Kabaka
910:9 nny 6Awo Sawulo bwe yava eri Samwiri, Katonda n’amuwa omutima omuggya, n’obubonero obwo bwonna ne butuukirira ku lunaku olwo. 1010:10 nny 5-6; 1Sa 19:20Bwe baatuuka ku lusozi ekibiina kya bannabbi ne kimusisinkana, Omwoyo wa Katonda n’amukkako mu maanyi era n’atandika okuwa obunnabbi wamu nabo. 1110:11 a Mat 13:54; Yk 7:15 b 1Sa 19:24Abaali baamumanya okuva edda n’edda bwe baamulaba ng’awa obunnabbi wamu ne bannabbi, ne bagambagana nti, “Kiki kino ekituuse ku mutabani wa Kiisi? Sawulo naye ali omu ku bannabbi?” 12Omu ku batuuze b’ekitundu ekyo n’abuuza nti, “Ye kitaabwe y’ani?” Kyerwava lufuuka olugero nti, “Ne Sawulo ali omu ku bannabbi?” 13Awo Sawulo bwe yamala okuwa obunnabbi, n’ayambuka mu kifo ekigulumivu.
1410:14 1Sa 14:50Awo kojja wa Sawulo n’ababuuza ye n’omuweereza nti, “Mubadde wa?” N’addamu nti, “Tubadde tunoonya endogoyi, naye bwe tutaazirabye, ne tugenda eri Samwiri.” 15Kojja wa Sawulo n’amugamba nti, “Mbuulira Samwiri kye yakugambye.” 1610:16 1Sa 9:20Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Yatutegeeza nti endogoyi zaali zirabise.” Naye n’atamubuulira Samwiri bye yamugamba ku by’obwakabaka.
1710:17 Bal 20:1; 1Sa 7:5Samwiri n’ayita abantu ba Isirayiri bakuŋŋaanire eri Mukama e Mizupa10:17 Mizupa kye kifo abantu gye baasisinkananga okuteesa ku nsonga enkulu (Bal 20:1; 21:1). 1810:18 Bal 6:8-9N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Naggya Isirayiri mu Misiri, ne mbalokola okuva mu mukono gw’Abamisiri, ne mu mukono gw’obwakabaka bwonna obwabajooganga. 1910:19 a 1Sa 8:5-7; 12:12 b Yos 7:14; 24:1Naye kaakano mujeemedde Katonda wammwe eyabalokola okuva mu buyinike bwammwe n’ennaku yammwe, ne mwogera nti, Nedda, tuteerewo kabaka atufuge.’ Kale mweyanjule mu maaso ga Mukama mu bika byammwe ne nnyiriri zammwe nga bwe biri.”
20Awo Samwiri bwe yasembeza ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri okumpi ne we yali, ekika kya Benyamini ne kirondebwa na kalulu10:20 Akalulu kaakubibwanga okusinziira ku wurimu ne Sumimu. 21N’asembeza ekika kya Benyamini, lunyiriri ku lunyiriri, era olunyiriri lwa Materi ne lulondebwa. N’oluvannyuma Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi n’alondebwa, naye bwe baamunoonya, nga talabika. 2210:22 1Sa 23:2, 4, 9-11Ne beeyongera okwebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Omusajja w’ali wano, atuuse?”
Awo Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Ye, yeekwese mu bitereke.”
2310:23 1Sa 9:2Ne badduka ne bagenda ne bamuleeta. Bwe yayimirira mu bantu, n’aba ng’asinga abantu bonna obuwanvu. 2410:24 a Ma 17:15; 2Sa 21:6 b 1Bk 1:25, 34, 39Samwiri n’agamba abantu bonna nti, “Mulaba omusajja Mukama gw’alonze? Tewali amwenkana mu bantu bonna.” Abantu ne baddamu n’eddoboozi eddene nti, “Wangaala Kabaka.”
2510:25 Ma 17:14-20; 1Sa 8:11-18Samwiri n’annyonnyola abantu ebiragiro n’obulombolombo eby’obwakabaka, n’abiwandiika mu kitabo n’akiteeka mu maaso ga Mukama. Awo Samwiri n’asiibula abantu bonna, buli omu n’addayo ewuwe.
2610:26 1Sa 11:4Sawulo naye n’addayo ewaabwe mu Gibea, ng’awerekerwako abasajja abazira Katonda be yali akomyeko ku mitima. 2710:27 a Ma 13:13 b 1Bk 10:25; 2By 17:5Naye abamu ku basajja ab’effujjo ne boogera nti, “Omusajja ono ayinza atya okutulokola?” Ne bamunyooma, era ne batamuwa na birabo. Naye Sawulo n’akisirikira n’atabanyega.
