1 Samuweli 10

¹ USamuweli wayesethatha isitsha samafutha, wawathela ekhanda lakhe, wamanga, wathi: “Kungokuba uJehova ekugcobile ukuba ube ngumbusi wefa lakhe na?

² Lapho nisuka kimi namuhla niyakufumana amadoda amabili ethuneni likaRaheli emngceleni wakwaBenjamini eSelsa; bayakuthi kuwe: Izimbongolo obuye ukuzifuna zitholiwe; bheka, uyihlo waziyeka izimbongolo, wadabuka ngawe, wathi: ‘Ngiyakwenze njani ngendodana yami na?’

³ Kumelwe usuke lapho, ufike ethafeni laseThabhori; amadoda amathathu ayakuhlangana nawe ekhuphukela kuNkulunkulu eBethele, omunye ethwele izimbuzi ezintathu, omunye ephethe izinkwa ezintathu, omunye ephethe imvaba lewayini.

⁴ Bayakubingelela, bakunike izinkwa ezimbili; elizakwemukela ezandleni zabo.

⁵ Emva kwalokho uyakufika entabeni kaNkulunkulu, lapho ibutho lamaFilisti likhona; lapho ufika khona emzini, uyakubona uquqaba lwabaprofethi behla phezulu bephethe ihabhu nesigubhu nesigubhu nehabhu phambi kwabo; bayakuprofetha;

⁶ UMoya kaJehova uzakufika phezu kwakho, uprofethe kanye nabo, uguqulwe ube ngomunye umuntu.

⁷ Futhi makuthi, lapho lezi zibonakaliso zifika kuwe, uzisebenze njengethuba; ngoba uNkulunkulu unawe.

⁸ Kumelwe wehlele phambi kwami eGiligali; bheka, ngiza kini ukunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nokuhlabela iminikelo yokuthula; uyakuhlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngize ngifike kuwe, ngikutshele omelwe ukwenze.

⁹ Lapho efulathela ukuba asuke kuSamuweli, uNkulunkulu wamnika enye inhliziyo, futhi zonke lezo zibonakaliso zenzeka ngalolo suku.

¹⁰ Lapho befika lapho entabeni, kwafika uquqaba lwabaprofethi ukumhlangabeza; uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe, waprofetha phakathi kwabo.

¹¹ Kwathi bonke ababemazi ngaphambili bebona ukuthi wayeprofethile phakathi kwabaprofethi, abantu bathi omunye komunye: “Kwenzekeni endodaneni kaKishi na?” Ingabe noSawule uphakathi kwabaprofethi?

¹² Wasephendula omunye wakhona wathi: Ngubani uyise wabo? Ngakho kwaba yisaga sokuthi: “Kanti noSawule uphakathi kwabaprofethi na?

¹³ Eseqedile ukuprofetha, wafika endaweni ephakemeyo;

¹⁴ Uyisekazi kaSawule wathi kuye nasencekwini yakhe: “Beniya ngaphi na? Wayesethi: “Ngiyofuna izimbongolo; kwathi sesibona ukuthi abekho, safika kuSamuweli.

¹⁵ Uyisekazi kaSawule wathi: “Ngitsheleni ukuthi uSamuweli utheni kini.

¹⁶ USawuli wasesithi kuyisekazi: Usitshele ngokucacileyo ukuthi izimbongolo zitholakele. Kodwa indaba yombuso uSamuweli akhuluma ngayo, kamtshelanga.

¹⁷ USamuweli wabizela ndawonye abantu kuJehova eMispa;

¹⁸ wathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Isho kanje iNkosi, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: Ngakhuphula u-Israyeli eGibithe, nganisindisa esandleni sabaseGibithe, nasesandleni sayo yonke imibuso, nakuyo eyayinicindezela.

¹⁹ Nina nimlahlile namuhla uNkulunkulu wenu, owanisindisa kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zenu nezinsizi zenu; laselisithi kuye: Hatshi, kodwa sibekele inkosi phezu kwethu. Manje zimiseni phambi kukaJehova ngokwezizwe zenu nangezinkulungwane zenu.

²⁰ Lapho uSamuweli esesondeza zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli, kwathathwa isizwe sakwaBenjamini.

²¹ Esesondele isizwe sakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yaso, kwathathwa umndeni wakwaMatiri, noSawule indodana kaKishi wathunjwa; kwathi sebemfuna, akabange esafunyanwa.

²² Yingakho babuza futhi kuJehova mayelana nokuthi lowo muntu usazoza yini lapho. Wathi uJehova: Bheka, wacasha phakathi kwezinto.

²³ Basebegijima bamlanda khona; lapho emi phakathi kwabantu, wayemude kunabo bonke abantu kusukela emahlombe kuye phezulu.

²⁴ USamuweli wasesithi ebantwini bonke: Limbonile yini amkhethileyo uJehova, ukuthi kakho onjengaye phakathi kwabantu bonke? Base bekhala bonke abantu, bathi: “Inkosi mayisindise inkosi!

²⁵ USamuweli wayesebatshela abantu indlela yombuso, wayiloba encwadini, wayibeka phambi kukaJehova. USamuweli wayesebamukisa bonke abantu, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya endlini yakhe.

²⁶ Naye uSawule waya ekhaya eGibeya; kwahamba naye iviyo lamadoda anhliziyo yawo yayithinte uNkulunkulu.

²⁷ Kepha abantwana bakwaBeliyali bathi: “Lo uyakusisindisa kanjani na?” Futhi bamdelela, futhi abazange bamlethele izipho. Kodwa wathula.
