1uSamuweli wathabatha isigodlo seoli, wamgalela entloko, wamanga, wathi, Ndithe mna, uYehova ukuthambisile, ukuba ube yinganga yelifa lakhe?

2Ekumkeni kwenu namhla kum, niya kufumana amadoda amabini engcwabeni likaRakeli, emdeni wakwaBhenjamin, iSelsa; aya kuthi kuwe, Zifunyenwe iimazi zamaesile obuzifuna; nanko uyihlo eseleyishiyile idizili, ebuhlungu, esithi, Ndiya kuthini na ngonyana wam?

3Ukuphuma kwakho apho, hamba, ufika entlango yeTabhore, uqubisane namadoda amathathu enyuka esiya kuThixo eBheteli, enye ithwele iibhokhwe ezintathu, enye ithwele izonka ezithathu, enye ithwele igwegwe lehagwe yewayini.

4Baya kukubulisa bakunike izonka ezibini; oya kukwamkela ezandleni zabo.

5Emva koko uya kufika endulini kaThixo, apho akhona amajoni amaFilistiya; wothi wakufika esixekweni, uquqele inkitha yabaprofeti, besihla ivela phezulu, iphethe uhadi, nengqongqo, nempempe, nohadi; kwaye baya kuprofeta;

6uMoya kaYehova uya kuhlela phezu kwakho, uprofete kunye nabo, ube mntu wumbi.

7Ke, xa ithe yabonakala kuwe le miqondiso, zenzele indawo efanelekileyo; ngokuba uThixo unawe;

8uhle phambi kwam uye eGiligali; uyabona, ndiyeza kuwe, ukuze ndinyuse amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yombulelo; hlalani iintsuku zibe sixhenxe, ndide ndize kuni, ndinixelele into eniya kuyenza.

9Wathi akuthi gu bucala ukuba emke kuSamuweli, uThixo wamguqula, wanantliziyo yimbi; yafika yonke loo miqondiso kwangayo loo mini.

10Bakufika endulini, wahlangatyezwa yindimbane yabaprofeti; wafikelwa nguMoya kaThixo phezu kwakhe, waprofeta phakathi kwabo.

11Babona bonke ababemazi ngaphambili, ukuba uprofete phakathi kwabaprofeti, bathi abantu omnye komnye, Uhliwe yintoni na unyana kaKishe? Ngaba naye uSawule ungomnye wabaprofeti?

12Waphendula umntu wathi, Ngubani na uyise wabo? Ke ngoko kwabakho umzekeliso othi, Ungomnye wabaprofeti na noSawule?

13Akugqiba ukuprofeta, wafika kwindawo ephakamileyo.

14Wathi uRangwanaa uSawule kuye nakumfana lowo, Ubusiya phi na? Wathi, Sifuna iiesile; sathi sakubona ukuba abakho, saya kuSamuweli.

15Wathi ubawo noyisekazi uSawule, Ndixeleleni, ukuba utheni na kuni uSamuweli.

16Wathi uSawule kuyise, Usixelele ukuba zifunyenwe idizili. Kodwa akazange amxelele ngobukumkani awayethetha ngabo uSamuweli.

17uSamuweli wabahlanganisela kuYehova abantu eMizpa;

18Wathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ndawakhupha amaSirayeli eYiputa, ndanihlangula esandleni samaYiputa, nasesandleni soorhulumente bonke, nasesandleni sabathwali abanitshutshisayo;

19Namhla nimlahlile uThixo wenu, owanihlangulayo kuzo zonke iimbandezelo zenu, nasekubandezelweni kwenu; wathi kuye, Hayi, simisele ukumkani. Zilungiseleleni ke ngoku phambi koYehova, kunye nezizukulwana zenu, namawaka enu.

20Wazibizela ndawonye uSamuweli zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli, kwanyulwa isizwe sakwaBhenjamin.

21Wasisondeza isizwe sakwaBhenjamin ngokwemizalwane yaso, kwanyulwa umzi wakwaMatri, kwathi uSawule unyana kaKishe wathinjwa; bamfuna, akafunyanwa.

22Kungenxa yoko le nto baqhubeka bebuza kuYehova enoba yayisaya kufika na apho loo ndoda. Wathi uYehova, Yabona, uzimele phakathi kwezinto.

23Bagidima, bamthabatha khona; yaye xa wema phakathi kwabantu, wayemde kunabo bonke abantu ukususela egxalabeni ukusa phezulu.

24Wathi uSamuweli ebantwini bonke, Niyambona na lo umnyulileyo uYehova, ukuba akukho unjengaye ebantwini bonke? Baduma bonke abantu, besithi, uYehova makamsindise ukumkani.

25Wandula ke uSamuweli wabaxelela abantu indlela yobukumkani waza wayibhala encwadini waza wayibeka phambi koYehova. Waza uSamuweli wathi bonke abantu mabahambe, elowo aye endlwini yakhe.

26Naye uSawule waya endlwini yakhe eGibheha; wahamba neqela lamadoda antliziyo zichukumisekileyo kuThixo.

27Ke bona oonyana bakaBheliyali bathi, Wothini na ukusisindisa loo mntu? Bamdela, abamzisela nezipho. Kodwa wathi cwaka.
