15 E lyo Samwele aebele Shauli ati: “Nine Yehova atumine ku kukusuba+ ukuba imfumu pa bantu bakwe abena Israele, e ico nomba umfwa kwi shiwi lya kwa Yehova.+ 2 Yehova wa mabumba+ asosa ati, ‘Nkakanda+ Amaleke pa fyo acitile ku bena Israele ilyo abalwishishe lintu balefuma mu Egupti.+ 3 Nomba, kabiye, kabili kepaye abena Amaleke+ no kubonaula+ na fyonse ifyo bakwata, kabili wikabomfwila uluse, kabili ukepaye+ umwaume pamo no mwanakashi, umwana pamo no onka,+ ing’ombe pamo ne mpaanga, ingamila pamo ne mpunda.’”+ 4 Awe Shauli aitile abantu no kubapenda mu Telemu,+ bali amakana imyanda ibili (200,000) abenda pa makasa na makana ikumi (10,000) abaume ba kwa Yuda.+

5 Kabili Shauli afikile na ku musumba wa bena Amaleke no ku-ubelamina lwa ku mumana. 6 Lelo Shauli aebele abena Keni+ ati: “Kabiyeni,+ paatukeniko, fumeni mu kati ka bena Amaleke, pantu kuti namonawila pamo na bo. Pantu imwe, mwacitile uluse ku bana ba kwa Israele+ bonse ilyo balefuma mu Egupti.”+ E ico abena Keni balifumine mu kati ka bena Amaleke. 7 Pa numa e lyo Shauli aipeye abena Amaleke+ ukufuma ku Habila+ ukufika na ku Shuri+ uwaba ku kabanga ka Egupti. 8 Kabili aikete Agagi+ imfumu ya kwa Amaleke umutuntulu, na bantu bonse abepeye ku lupanga.+ 9 Lelo Shauli na bantu baumfwilile Agagi uluse, tabaipeye ne fitekwa fyawamisha, impaanga ne ng’ombe+ ne fitekwa fyaina na basukusuku kabili basungile fyonse ifisuma, tabafwaile ukufyonaula.+ Lelo ifipe fyonse ifyasuulwa ne fya fye, e fyo baonawile.

10 Nomba icebo ca kwa Yehova caishile kuli Samwele, no kutila:11 “Ninanguluka+ apo nalengele Shauli ukuba imfumu, pantu naleka ukunkonka,+ ne fyo nasosa taficita.”+ Kabili ici calengele Samwele+ ubulanda, kabili alilile kuli Yehova ubushiku bonse.+ 12 E lyo Samwele acelele ulucelo ku kuyakumanya Shauli. Lelo bamo baebele Samwele ati: “Shauli aile ku Karmele,+ kabili moneni! aleikuulila ica kumwibukishishako,+ kabili alyabwike no kuya ku Gilgali.” 13 Awe Samwele aile kuli Shauli, na Shauli atile kuli Samwele: “Mube abapaalwa+ kuli Yehova. Nincita ifyo Yehova asosele.”+ 14 Lelo Samwele atile: “Nga uko kulila kwa mpaanga uko ndeumfwa mu matwi yandi, no kulila kwa ng’ombe?”+ 15 E lyo Shauli atile: “Ni ku bena Amaleke e ko abantu bafifumishe, pantu abantu tabafwaile+ ukwipaya impaanga shawamisha ne ng’ombe, pantu balefwaya ukupeela ilambo kuli Yehova Lesa+ wenu; lelo ifyashala natonaula.” 16 E lyo Samwele atile kuli Shauli: “Talala! Kabili ndekweba ico Yehova anjebele ubushiku.”+ Na o atile: “Soseni mukwai!”

17 E lyo Samwele atile: “Bushe te lintu we mwine waleimona uwacepesha+ e lyo wali intungulushi ya mikowa ya kwa Israele, na Yehova akusubile+ ku kuba imfumu pali Israele?18 Na Yehova akutumine no kutila, ‘Kabiye, konaule ababembu,+ abena Amaleke, kabili ukabalwishe mpaka ukabalofye.’+ 19 Nomba cinshi ushaumfwilile kwi shiwi lya kwa Yehova lelo wasendele bufunushi bufunushi ifyapokelwe+ no kucita icabipa mu menso ya kwa Yehova?”+

20 Lelo, Shauli ayaswike Samwele ati: “Lelo ning’umfwila+ ishiwi lya kwa Yehova pantu naile uko Yehova antumine kabili nasendele Agagi+ imfumu ya kwa Amaleke, na bena Amaleke nalibonawile.+ 21 Na bantu+ babuulilepo ifyo twapokolwele, impaanga ne ng’ombe, ifyawamisha ifyalingile ukonaulwa, pa kuti bapeele ilambo+ kuli Yehova Lesa wenu mu Gilgali.”+

22 E lyo Samwele atile: “Bushe Yehova alitemwa imituulo ya koca+ na malambo ukucila ukunakila ishiwi lya kwa Yehova? Mona! Ukunakila+ kwawama ukucila ilambo,+ ukumfwila kwawama ukucila amafuta+ ya basukusuku; 23 pantu bucipondoka+ cimo cine no lubembu lwa kubuka,+ no kuitutumuna cimo cine no kucita ifinjelengwe no kupepa utulubi twa terafimu.+ Apo naukaana icebo ca kwa Yehova,+ na o nakukaana ukuba imfumu.”+

24 E lyo Shauli atile kuli Samwele: “Nimembuka;+ pantu nimpula mu cipope ca kwa Yehova na mu mashiwi yenu, pantu natiinine abantu+ no kumfwa kwi shiwi lyabo. 25 Nomba, shi njeleleni+ pa lubembu lwandi no kubwelela na ine pa kuti nje mpapaate+ Yehova.” 26 Lelo Samwele aebele Shauli ati: “Nshabwele pamo na iwe, pantu naukaana icebo ca kwa Yehova, kabili Yehova nakukaana ukuba imfumu pali Israele.”+ 27 Ilyo Samwele alepilibuka ukuti aye, apo pene Shauli aikete ku cisempe ca ku ca kufwala cakwe icabula amaboko, lelo calilepwike no kususuka.+ 28 E lyo Samwele amwebele ati: “Lelo Yehova nafumpula+ ubufumu bwa kwa Israele ukufuma kuli iwe, kabili akabupeela ku munobe uwaba bwino ukukucila.+ 29 Kabili, Uwapulamo wa kwa Israele+ takabepe ubufi,+ kabili takalanguluke, pantu te muntunse uwa kuti alelanguluka.”+

30 Na o atile: “Nimembuka. Nomba ncindikeni+ mukwai pa menso ya bakalamba ba mu bantu bandi na pa menso ya kwa Israele kabili natubwelelemo pamo, kabili nalapapaata Yehova Lesa wenu.”+ 31 E ico Samwele alibwelelemo alekonka Shauli, na o Shauli apapeete Yehova. 32 Pa numa ya ifyo, Samwele atile: “Palamikeni Agagi imfumu ya bena Amaleke kuli ine.” E lyo Agagi aile kuli Samwele aleshimunuka, kabili alaisosha ati: “Cine cine tabanjipaye nomba.” 33 Lelo, Samwele atile: “Ifyo ulupanga lobe+ lwalenga abanakashi ukufwilwa abana, e fyo na noko+ akafwilwa sana abana ukucila abanakashi bambi.”+ E fyo Samwele aputawile Agagi pa cinso ca kwa Yehova mu Gilgali.+
