1 SAMUELE 11
Saulo o fenya Baamone
1Kgoši Nahashe wa Amone o ile a tšwa dira mme a hloma mešaša ya gagwe gore a tle a hlasele motse wa Jabeshe, nageng ya Gileade. Banna ba Jabeshe ba re go Nahashe: “Hle, kwana le rena, mme re tla ba batho ba gago.”
2Nahashe a ba fetola a re: “Ke tla kwana le lena ge le ka dumela gore ke gonye yo mongwe le yo mongwe wa lena leihlo la la go ja. Ka go dira bjalo ke tla goboša Baisraele ka moka.”
3Baetapele ba Jabeshe ba re: “Re fe matšatši a a šupago gore re rome batseta nageng ya Israele ka moka. Ge go se yo a ka re thušago, gona re tla ineela go wena.”
4Batseta bao ba fihla Gibea, moo Saulo a bego a dula gona, gomme ya re ge ba bega taba yeo, batho ba hlaboša mantšu ba lla. 5E be e le gona Saulo a gorogago a etšwa mašemong a gapa dipholo tša gagwe, gomme a botšiša a re: “A molato ke eng? Ke ka lebaka lang batho ba lla?” Ba mmotša se batseta ba ba tšwago Jabeshe ba se begilego. 6Ge Saulo a ekwa seo, moya wa Modimo wa mo laola, gomme a galefa kudu. 7A tšea dipholo tše pedi a di ripaganya, gomme a roma batseta gore ba iše diripana tšeo nageng ka moka ya Israele mme ba botše batho ba re: “Yo a sa latelego Saulo le Samuele ge ba eya ntweng – dipholo tša gagwe di tla ripaganywa ka mokgwa wo!”
Setšhaba sa Israele se be se boifa se Morena a ka se dirago, gomme ka moka ga bona ba tšwa e le seboka, gwa se šale motho. 8Saulo a ba kgobokanya kua Beseke: ya ba ba dikete tše makgolo a mararo ba ba tšwago Israele le ba dikete tše masome a mararo ba ba tšwago Juda. 9Ba re go batseta bale ba go tšwa Jabeshe: “Le botšeng batho ba gabolena gore pele ga mosegare wa sekgalela ka moswane ba tla phološwa.” Ge batho ba Jabeshe ba ekwa molaetša woo, ba thaba 10gomme ba re go Nahashe: “Ka moswane re tla ineela go wena, gomme wa dira se o se ratago ka rena.”
11Ka letšatši le le latelago ka masa Saulo a arola banna ba gagwe dihlopha tše tharo, mme ya re ka mahube ba šwahlela mešaša ya manaba gomme ba hlasela Baamone. Ba ba bolaya go fihlela mosegare wa sekgalela. Bao ba phonyokgilego ba šwalalana, monna yo mongwe le yo mongwe a tšhaba a nnoši.
12Ke moo banna ba Israele ba itšego go Samuele: “A ba kae batho bale ba itšego Saulo ga a swanela go ba kgoši ya rena? Re gafele bona, re ba bolaye!”
13Eupša Saulo a re: “Ga go bolawe motho lehono, ka gobane le ke letšatši leo ka lona Morena a hlakodišitšego Baisraele.” 14Gomme Samuele a re go setšhaba: “Ka moka ga rena a re yeng Gilgale re yo bea Saulo gape kgoši ya rena.” 15Ka gona ka moka ga bona ba ya Gilgale, gomme moo ba bea Saulo kgoši ka felo mo gokgethwa. Ba dira dihlabelo tša kagišano, gomme Saulo le setšhaba ka moka sa Israele ba bina monyanya wo mogolo wa go bea kgoši.
