E sa nɛ o mlɛ ngɛ lejɛ ɔ ligbi kpaago, kɛ yaa si be nɛ ma ba o ngɔ. Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, ma ha nɛ o maa le nɔ́ nɛ e sa kaa o pee.”

9 Benɛ Saul plɛ e he nɛ e maa je Samuel he pɛ, nɛ Mawu bɔni e tsui tsakemi konɛ e pee kaa nɔmlɔ kpa, nɛ okadi nɛ ɔmɛ tsuo ba mi jamɛ a ligbi ɔ. 10 Kɛkɛ nɛ a je lejɛ ɔ kɛ ho kpongu ɔ nɔ ya, nɛ gbali a kuu ko kɛ lɛ kpe.

Anɛ Saul hu piɛɛ gbali ɔmɛ a he lo?” 12 Kɛkɛ nɛ nyumu ko nɛ je lejɛ ɔ bi ke: “Se mɛnɔ ji a tsɛ?” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, enɛ ɔ ba pee nɔ́ nɛ nihi pɔɔ demi* ke: “Anɛ Saul hu piɛɛ gbali ɔmɛ a he lo?”

13 Benɛ e gba ta a, e ba su he nɛ ya hiɔwe ɔ. 14 Pee se ɔ, Saul tsɛ ɔ nyɛminyumu ɔ bi e kɛ e tsɔlɔ ɔ ke: “Jije nyɛ je?” Nɛ e de ke: “Wa ya hla teji ɔmɛ, se wa na kaa a be lejɛ ɔ, lɔ ɔ he ɔ, wa ya Samuel ngɔ.” 15 Saul tsɛ ɔ nyɛminyumu ɔ bi ke: “I kpa nyɛ pɛɛ, nyɛ de mi, mɛni Samuel de nyɛ?” 16 Saul ha e tsɛ ɔ nyɛminyumu ɔ heto ke: “E de wɔ ke a na teji ɔmɛ momo.” Se Saul de we lɛ nɔ́ nɛ Samuel de kɛ kɔ matsɛ yemi ɔ he ɔ.

17 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel tsɛ ni ɔmɛ nɛ a ba bua a he nya ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi ngɛ Mizpa, 18 nɛ e de Israel bi ɔmɛ ke: “Nɔ́ nɛ Yehowa, Israel Mawu ɔ ngɛ dee ji nɛ ɔ nɛ: ‘Imi ji nɔ nɛ ngɔ Israel kɛ je Egipt kɛ ba, nɛ imi ji nɔ nɛ kpɔ̃ nyɛ kɛ je Egipt dɛ mi kɛ matsɛ yemihi tsuo nɛ a ngɛ nyɛ yi mi wae ɔ a dɛ mi. 19 Se mwɔnɛ ɔ, nyɛ kua nyɛ Mawu ɔ, nɔ nɛ he nyɛ yi wami kɛ je nyɛ haomi ɔmɛ kɛ nyɛ nɔ́ nami ɔmɛ a mi ɔ, nɛ nyɛ de ke: “Dɛbi, e sa nɛ o wo matsɛ ha wɔ nɛ e ye wa nɔ.” Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, nyɛɛ da si wɛtso nya wɛtso nya, kɛ weku nya weku nya* ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi.’”

20 Nɛ Samuel ha nɛ Israel wɛtso ɔmɛ tsuo hɛ mɛ kɛ ba, nɛ a hla Benyamin wɛtso ɔ. 21 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e ha nɛ Benyamin wɛtso ɔ hɛ mɛ kɛ ba ngɛ weku nya weku nya, nɛ a hla Matri bi ɔmɛ a weku ɔ. Nyagbe ɔ, a hla Saul, Kish binyumu ɔ. Se benɛ a ya ngɛ lɛ hlae ɔ, a nɛ lɛ. 22 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a bi Yehowa ke: “Anɛ nyumu ɔ ba hiɛ ɔ lo?” Yehowa ha heto ke: “Nyɛ nɛ lɛ nɛ e ya laa e he ngɛ tlomi ɔmɛ a kpɛti.” 23 Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, a tu fo nɛ a ya ngɔ lɛ kɛ je lejɛ ɔ kɛ ba. Benɛ e ba da si ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a kpɛti ɔ, e ka pe ni ɔmɛ tsuo, e konɔ pɛ nɛ a kami su. 24 Samuel de ni ɔmɛ tsuo ke: “Anɛ nyɛ na nɔ nɛ Yehowa hla a lo, tse nyɛ na kaa nɔ ko be nɛ e ngɛ kaa lɛ ngɛ ni ɔmɛ tsuo a kpɛti?” Nɛ ni ɔmɛ tsuo bɔni ngmlaa kpami ke: “Matsɛ ɔ se nɛ kɛ!”
