1 Samuweli 8 USamuweli umisa amadodana akhe ukuba abe abahluleli

¹ Kwathi uSamuweli esemdala wabeka amadodana akhe abahluleli phezu kukaIsrayeli.

² Igama lezibulo lakhe lalinguJoweli; igama lowesibili lalingu-Abiya; babengabahluleli eBeri Sheba.

³ Amadodana akhe awahambanga ngezindlela zakhe, kepha aphambukela ekuzuzeni inzuzo, amukela isifumbathiso, aphendukezela isahlulelo.

⁴ Abuthana onke amadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli, eza kuSamuweli eRama.

⁵ Wathi kuye: “Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; manje simisele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.

⁶ Kodwa le ndaba yayimbi emehlweni kaSamuweli lapho bethi: “Sinike inkosi ukuba isahlulele.” USamuweli wakhuleka kuJehova.

⁷ INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Lalela ilizwi labantu kukho konke abakutsho kuwe, ngoba kabakulahlanga wena, kodwa bangilahlile mina, ukuze ngingabi yinkosi phezu kwabo.

⁸ Njengemisebenzi yonke abayenzayo kusukela osukwini engabakhuphula ngalo eGibithe kuze kube yilolu suku abangishiya ngalo, bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, benza kanjalo nakini.

⁹ Manje lalela izwi labo; kodwa phikisane labo futhi ubatshele ilungelo lenkosi ezakubabusa.

¹⁰ USamuweli wakhuluma onke amazwi kaJehova kubantu abacela kuye inkosi.

¹¹ Wathi: “Nansi indlela yenkosi eyakubusa phezu kwenu: iyakuthatha amadodana enu, iwamisele wona abe yizinqola zayo nangabamahhashi bayo; abanye bayakugijima phambi kwezinqola zakhe.

¹² Iyakummisa abe yinduna yenkulungwane nenduna yamashumi ayisihlanu; futhi iyozimisela ukuba zilime insimu yayo, zivune isivuno sayo, yenze izikhali zayo zempi nezinqola zayo.

¹³ Iyakuthatha amadodakazi enu abe abapheki, nabapheki, nababhaki.

¹⁴ Iyakuthatha amasimu enu, nezivini zenu, neminqumo yenu emihle kunayo yonke, ikunike izinceku zayo.

¹⁵ Iyakuthatha okweshumi kwembewu yenu nokwezivini zenu, ikunike izinceku zayo nezinceku zayo.

¹⁶ Iyakuthatha izinceku zenu nezincekukazi zenu nezinsizwa zenu ezinhle nezimbongolo zenu ikwenzele umsebenzi wayo.

¹⁷ Izathatha okwetshumi kwezimvu zenu, lina libe yizinceku zayo.

¹⁸ Niyokhala ngalolo suku ngenxa yenkosi yenu enizikhethele yona; uJehova akayikunilalela ngalolo suku.

¹⁹ Kepha abantu bala ukulalela izwi likaSamuweli; baphendula bathi: Hatshi! kepha siyakuba nenkosi phezu kwethu;

²⁰ ukuze nathi sibe njengazo zonke izizwe; futhi ukuze inkosi yethu isahlulele futhi iphume phambi kwethu futhi ilwe izimpi zethu.

²¹ USamuweli wezwa onke amazwi abantu, wawezwa phambi kwezindlebe zikaJehova.

²² UJehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Lalela izwi labo, ubenzele inkosi.” Wayesethi uSamuweli kubantu bakwa-Israyeli: “Hambani, kube yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo.”
