10 Paapa Samuele batshile kalondo ka muimu, aye nkuiupongooluela Saule mu mutue. Bamuanyine kiipa amulungula’shi: “Yehowa bakuele muimu bodia kuikala bu mukunkushi a muilo* waye. 2 Lelo uno, kunyima k’obe kundeka, okapete bantu babidi bemane pepi na mashama a Rashele mu nsenga ya Benyamine ku Selesa, abakakulungula’shi: ‘Tabapuile kupeta mpunda yoyile mu kukimba, binobino nshobe bapu kuluba muanda wa mpunda, t’ekalakasha b’obe. Kuete kuamba’shi: “A nakitshi naminyi bua muana ande.”’ 3 Okatukie kuakua wende mpa na ku mutshi ukata wa ku Tabore, kuakua okafumankana na bana balume basatu abende mu kulanguila Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi ku Betele, umune mmutuale bana ba mbushi basatu, ungi mmutuale mikate isatu, na ungi namu mmutuale elondo dikata dia nfinyo. 4 Abakakuipusha biodi na abakakupa mikate ibidi, abitungu okumiine yaaya mikate y’abakupa. 5 Kunyima kua biabia okende ku muengie w’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi kui kisaka kia basalayi kia bena Filistine. P’okafiki mu kibundi, okafumankana na batemuki abaalala, abakatuka ku mbalo i kunundu, kumpala kuabo akuikala bantu abend’ayimbanga na bindaala, matumba, milengie na lusese, abo namu abekala abende na kutemuka. 6 Kikudi kia Yehowa akikakupa bukome, na okatemuka pamune nabo, na okashintuluka wekale bu ungi muntu. 7 Apakakumbana bino bitunduilo bioso, kita kioso kiodi mulombene kukita, muanda Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi e nobe. 8 Paapa obadiile kumpala kuande wende ku Gilegale, ami namu nakakulondo kuakua bua kutusha milambu ya kushiika kaalo na milambu ya butaale. Abitungu otengiele mafuku musambobidi mpa na panfiki kodi. Paapa nakakulungula kiodia kukita.”
9 Musango umune pabaadi Saule muialuule bua kukatuka kui Samuele, Efile Mukulu babangile kushintuula eshimba diaye buadidia kufika bu dia ungi muntu, na bino bitunduilo bioso bibakumbene mu diadia efuku. 10 Biabia babakatukile paapa benda ku muengie, na kisaka kia batemuki kibafumankene naye. Musango umune kikudi ki’Efile Mukulu nkumupa bukome, aye nkubanga kutemuka munkatshi muabo. 11 Pabaadi bantu boso babaadi abamuuku bamumone atemuka pamune na batemuki, abo nkuilungushena’shi: “A nkinyi kibafikila muana a Kishe? Saule taadi namu munkatshi mua batemuki?” 12 Paapa ungi muntu a mu yaaya mbalo nkuamba’shi: “A nshabo nnanyi?” Nyi buakinyi bababangile kuamba’shi: “Saule taadi namu munkatshi mua batemuki?”
13 Pabapuile kutemuka, bayile ku mbalo i kunundu. 14 Kunyima, mukuabo na nshaye na Saule bebepuishe na mufubi aaye’shi: “A nuyile kunyi?” Paapa Saule nkumulungula’shi: “Tuyile mu kukimba mpunda, kadi patumuene’shi tatui beyipete, nyi tubende kui Samuele.” 15 Mukuabo na nshaye na Saule nkumuipusha’shi: “Ndungule namu, a Samuele kulunguile kinyi?” 16 Saule nkualuula mukuabo na nshaye’shi: “Etulunguile’shi mpunda tayipuile kumueneka.” Kadi Saule tabaadi mumulungule bibaadi Samuele muakule pabitale bufumu.
17 Kunyima kua biabia Samuele nkuitamisha muilo kumpala kua Yehowa ku Misepa. 18 Balunguile bena Isalele’shi: “Talayi abiamba Yehowa Efile Mukulu a Isalele: ‘Nnami baadi mutushe Isalele mu Ejipitu na baadi muinupaashe kuiyasa dia bena Ejipitu na kuiyasa dia mafumu oso abaadi aenukiengiesha. 19 Kadi lelo uno nubasumbushena Efile Mukulu eenu baadi muinupaashe ku malua oso na ku makienga eenu, na nubamba’shi: “Nya, etutudile nfumu a kuitukunkusha.” Binobino, imanayi kumpala kua Yehowa muyile bisamba bienu na muyile bifuko* bienu.’”
20 Biabia Samuele bayitanyine bisamba bioso bia Isalele buabidia kuiseesela pepi, na babasanguile kisamba kia Benyamine. 21 Akupu bayitanyine kisamba kia Benyamine buakidia kuiseesela pepi muyile bifuko biakio, na babasanguile kifuko kia bena Matri. Nfudiilo a bioso babasanguile Saule muana a Kishe. Kadi pababayile mu kumukimba, ta mbamupete nya. 22 Biabia babepuishe Yehowa’shi: “Yawa muntu tafikile pano?” Yehowa baluluile’shi: “E panka, mmufuame munkatshi mua mabofo.” 23 Biabia babayile lubilo abo nkumuata kuakua kubaadi mufuame. Pabayimene munkatshi mua bantu, baadi mukile bantu boso bula na babaadi abamufikila nka pa mapampa. 24 Samuele nkulungula bantu boso’shi: “Nubamono muntu abadi basangule kui Yehowa su? Takui muntu su ngumune ebu’ye munkatshi mua bantu boso.” Na bantu boso bababangile kuela misaase’shi: “Nfumu ekale na muwa bua loso!”
25 Samuele balunguile bantu bintu bibaadi nfumu na matalua a kuibateka, ebifunda mu mukanda na eutula kumpala kua Yehowa. Akupu Samuele bapalakeshe bantu boso, muntu oso enda ku nshibo kuaye. 26 Saule namu bayile kuaye ku Gibeya, na bilobo bia ngoshi bibaadi Yehowa mukume mashimba aabio, bibayile naye. 27 Kadi bangi bantu ba bisumanga babambile’shi: “A uno muntu namu aketupaasha naminyi?” Biabia abo kumubepuula, na ta bamutumine kia buntu su nkimune. Kadi Saule tabakuile muanda su ngumune.
