1Samuele a amba na Saulo a ri, “Ndi nṋe we nda ruṅwa nga Muṋe washu uri ndi ni ḓodze mapfura ni vhe khosi ya vhathu vhawe, zwino thetshelesani mafhungo a Muṋe washu. 2Muṋe washu Mulangazwoṱhe u ri, ‘Ndi ḓo lifhedza Vhaamaleke zwe vha ita Vhaisraele, zwe vha vha lalela nḓilani zwiḽa vha tshi bva Egipita. 3Zwino iyani ni yo dia Vhaamaleke, ni phusukanye zwoṱhe zwine zwa vha zwavho. Ni songo sia tshithu, ni vhulahe vhanna na vhasadzi na vhana na dzitshetshe na kholomo na nngu na gamela na donngi.’ ”
4Ndi hone Saulo a tshi ramba vhanna a vha khethekanya a vha vhala vhe Telemu: ho vha hu na vhahali vha 200 000 vha tshimbilaho nga milenzhe, na vhaṅwe vha 10 000 vha bvaho Juda. 5Saulo a livha muḓini wa Amaleke, a lalela mulambwanani. 6A vhudza Vhakeni a ri, “Ṱuwani, siani Vhaamaleke uri ndi tshi vha lozwa ndi si paṱekanye na inwi, inwi no tonda Vhaisraele vhoṱhe musi vha tshi bva Egipita.” Vhakeni vha mbo ṱutshela Vhaamaleke.
7Ndi hone Saulo a tshi dia Vhaamaleke nḓilani yoṱhe u bva Havila u swika Shuru, vhubvaḓuvha ha Egipita. 8Saulo a fara Agaga khosi ya Vhaamaleke a si mu vhulahe, vhathu vhawe vhoṱhe a vha lozwa nga pfumo. 9Hone Saulo na mmbi yawe vha litsha u vhulaha Agaga na nngu na kholomo dzavhuḓi na ṋamana dzo nonaho na ngwana dzo nonaho, zwoṱhe zwe zwa vha zwi zwavhuḓi vha litsha u zwi vhulaha. Vho vha vha sa funi u zwi lozwa tshoṱhe, hone zwe zwa vha zwi tshi nyadzea zwi si na mushumo, vha zwi lozwa.
Muṋe washu a tshi landula Saulo
10Ndi hone ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu ḽi tshi ḓa ha Samuele ḽa ri, 11“Ndi pfa vhuṱungu Saulo ndo mu vhumba khosi; o ntshandukela, ho ngo ita zwe nda mu laya.” Samuele zwa mu dina, a lilela Muṋe washu vhusiku honoho hoṱhe.
12Samuele a fhinduwa a yo ṱangana na Saulo, hone a vhudzwa upfi, “Saulo o ya Kharamele. Henefho o imisa tshihumbudzo tsha u ḓihulisa nahone o no rembuluwa o tsela Giligala.”
13Samuele a ya ha Saulo, Saulo a mu resha a ri, “Muṋe washu a vhe navho! Ndo ita zwe Muṋe washu a nndaya.”
14Huno Samuele a ri, “Zwino khezwi ndi tshi pfa nngu na kholomo dzi tshi lila?”
15Saulo a fhindula a ri, “Vhanna vho vhuya nadzo dzi tshi bva ha Vhaamaleke, vho litsha nngu dzavhuḓi na kholomo dzavhuḓi vha si dzi vhulahe, vha tshi itela u ṋekedza Muṋe washu Mudzimu wavho tshiṱhavhelo, hone zwiṅwe zwoṱhe ro zwi lozwa.”
16Samuele a amba na Saulo a ri, “Fhumulani! Litshani ndi ni vhudze zwe Muṋe washu a mmbudza madekwe.”
Saulo a fhindula a ri, “Nga vha mmbudze.”
17Samuele a ri, “Naho ni tshi vhona unga ni muṱuku, ni murangaphanḓa wa matsinde a Israele. Muṋe washu o ni vhumba khosi ya Israele. 18Huno o ni ruma a ri, ‘Iyani u lozwa tshoṱhe vhathu havhaḽa vhavhi, Vhaamaleke, ilwani navho ni vhuye ni vha vhulahe vhoṱhe.’ 19Ndi mini ni songo thetshelesa Muṋe washu? Khezwi no dzhia zwe na ṱangula na ita zwi sa takadzi Muṋe washu?”
20Saulo a ri, “Muṋe washu ndo mu thetshelesa. Ndo ya he Muṋe washu a nthuma hone. Vhaamaleke ndo vha lozwa tshoṱhe, nda vhuya na Agaga khosi yavho. 21Vhanna vhone vho dzhia nngu na kholomo kha zwe ra thuba, dzi fhiraho dzoṱhe dzo kumedzwaho Mudzimu, uri dzi vhe tshiṱhavhelo dzi ṋekedzwe Muṋe washu Mudzimu wavho fhano Giligala.”
22Hone Samuele a fhindula a ri,
“Kani Muṋe washu u takalela nduvho dzi fhiswaho na zwiṱhavhelo
u fhira muthu a tshi ita zwine a amba?
U thetshelesa hu fhira tshiṱhavhelo,
u tevhedza ndaela hu fhira nngu dzo nonaho.
23U sa pfa hu nga vhutshinyi ha u tungula ṱhangu,
u ḓihudza hu nga tshivhi tsha u gwadamela zwitungulo.
Zwino nge na landula ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu,
na Ene o ni landula, a ni tsha vha khosi.”
24Ndi hone Saulo a tshi amba na Samuele a ri, “Ndo tshinya. Ndo pfuka ndaela ya Muṋe washu na ndayo dzawe. Ndo vha ndi tshi ofha vhathu, ndi zwe nda tenda zwe vha mmbudza. 25Zwino nga vha nkhangwele vhuvhi hanga nandi, vha hume na nṋe ri ye Giligala, ndi yo luvha Muṋe washu.”
26Huno Samuele a amba nae a ri, “Ndi nga si ṱuwe na inwi. No landula ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu, na Muṋe washu o ni landula, ni nga si tsha vha khosi ya Israele!”
U fhambana ha Saulo na Samuele
27Musi Samuele a tshi rembuluwa uri a ṱuwe, Saulo a fara lupendelo lwa phuraphura yawe, ya kheruwa. 28Samuele a mu vhudza a ri, “Muṋe washu o kherula muvhuso wa Israele wa ṱuwa kha inwi ṋamusi, o u ṋea muṅwe ane a fhira inwi. 29Mudzimu ane a vha Ene Vhugala ha Israele ha zwifhi, ha ḓisoli, hufha a si muthu.”
30Saulo a fhindula a ri, “Ndo tshinya. Naho zwo ralo nga vha nkhulise nandi ri na vhahulwane vha vhathu vhanga na Vhaisraele, nga vha ṱuwe na nṋe, uri ndi yo luvha Muṋe washu Mudzimu wavho.” 31Ndi hone Samuele a tshi ṱuwa na Saulo, Saulo a luvha Muṋe washu.
32Samuele a ri, “Ḓisani Agaga khosi ya Vhaamaleke.”
Agaga a swika kha Samuele o ḓitakalela a tshi khou elekanya a ri, “Zwino a thi tsha ofha uri vha ḓo mmbulaha!”
33Huno Samuele a ri, “Pfumo ḽau ḽo ṱangula vhasadzi vha sala vha si na vhana; na mme au u ḓo sala a si na ṅwana.”
Samuele a remekanya Agaga nga banga phanḓa ha Muṋe washu henefho Giligala.
34Ndi hone Samuele a tshi ṱuwa a ya Rama, Saulo a ṱuwa a ya hayani hawe Gibia. 35Samuele a vhuya a fa a sa athu dovha a vhonana na Saulo, hone a tshi ḓi ḽa mbilu nga u shanduka ha Saulo. Na Muṋe washu o vha a tshi pfa vhuṱungu zwe a ita uri Saulo a vhe khosi ya Israele.
