Oyipee muana mulume na muana mukashi, muana mukinga na muana tooka, ngombe na mukooko, kamelo na mpunda.’” 4 Paapa Saule bayitanyishe bantu aye nkuibabadika ku Telaime: Kubaadi basalayi 200 000 abatambukaa lua ngua, na basalayi 10 000 ba mu Yunda.

5 Saule bayile mpa na ku kibundi kia Amaleke, aye na basalayi baye babafuamine muibanda buabadia kulua na bena Amaleke. 6 Akupu Saule balunguile bena Keni’shi: “Endayi, nukatukie munkatshi mua bena Amaleke bua’shi ntshinuipanga pamune nabo. Muanda nubaadi baleshe muilo ushima wa Isalele kifulo kia lulamato nsaa ibaabadi abatuuku mu Ejipitu.” Biabia bena Keni babakatukile munkatshi mua bena Amaleke. 7 Kunyima Saule bayipayile bena Amaleke kukatukila ku Awila mpa na ku Shure, muitalene na Ejipitu. 8 Bakuatshile Agage nfumu a Amaleke, kadi bangi bantu boso aye nkuibayipaa na lupete lua ngoshi. 9 Anka, Saule na bantu baye babalekiele Agage na muwa, nyema ikile buwa, mikooko, ngombe, nyema itame, mikooko ilume na bintu bioso bibaadi buwa. Tababaadi bakumiine kuibibutula, kadi bintu bioso bishibaadi na muulo na biabashibaadi bakumiine, abaadi bebibutule.

10 Akupu eyi dia Yehowa nkufika kui Samuele nkumulungula’shi: 11 “Nenyongola buakinyi nasanguile Saule bu nfumu, muanda bampele na ta mukookiele mayi ande.” Wawa muanda ubaadi ukalakashe Samuele ngofu na aye nkudidila Yehowa bufuku bushima. 12 Ku nakashika buee pabebuele Samuele bua kukamona Saule, babalunguile Samuele’shi: “Saule mmuende ku Karmele, na kuakua mmuiyibakile musungo* bua’shi bamutentekieshanga. Akupu katukile kuakua, alaala ku Gilegale.” 13 Nfudiilo a bioso, pabaadi Samuele mufikie kui Saule, Saule bamulunguile’shi: “Yehowa akuelele miabi. Nakookiela eyi dia Yehowa.” 14 Anka Samuele bamuipuishe’shi: “Buakinyi napusha kudila kua mikooko na kua ngombe?” 15 Saule nkumualuula’shi: “Basalayi bekeele beyinyengie kui bena Amaleke, abo nkuleka mikooko na ngombe ikile buwa, nkufika nayo bua kuiyilambula Yehowa; anka biabia bintu bioso bikele bishale abaadi bebibutule.” 16 Paapa Samuele nkulungula Saule’shi: “Imena nka paapa! Imana nkulungule bibandungula Yehowa buno bufuku.” Saule nkumulungula’shi: “Akula!”

17 Samuele nkumulungula’shi: “Toboodi wemono na muulo upeela pabaabadi bakutuule bu nfumu a bisamba bia Isalele na pabaadi Yehowa mukuele muimu bu nfumu a Isalele su? 18 Kunyima Yehowa bakutumine akulungula’shi: ‘Nda okabutule bena Amaleke muanda wa miluisho yabadi bakite. Olue nabo ngoshi mpa nka na pokebabutula boso.’ 19 Kadi buakinyi tue mutumikile eyi dia Yehowa? Anka we muende lubilo na luabi loso mu kuata bintu bipaulue, obe nkukita muanda wi bubi ku meso kua Yehowa.”

20 Anka, Saule balunguile Samuele’shi: “Kadi ne mukookiele eyi dia Yehowa! Ne muende kubaadi Yehowa muntume, ami nkufika na Agage nfumu a Amaleke, kadi nkubutula bena Amaleke. 21 Anka bantu babaadi baate mikooko na ngombe mu bintu bibaatudi bapaule, bintu bi buwa bia mu bintu bibaatudi na kia kubutula bua kuibilambula Yehowa Efile Mukulu oobe ku Gilegale.”

22 Akupu Samuele nkuakula’shi: “Yehowa asankilaa milambu ya kushiika, kukila kukookiela eyi dia Yehowa su? Tala! Kukookiela nkukile mulambu, na kuteemesha, nkukile muimu wa mikooko ilume;* 23 Muanda bu ntomboshi bui mumune na muluisho wa lubuko, na kukita mianda na nkomanga kui mumune na kukita mianda ya malenganyi na kulanguila ma nkishi. Bu bibosumbushena eyi dia Yehowa, aye namu bakusumbushena bua’shi tuekalanga dingi nfumu.”

24 Paapa Saule nkualuula Samuele’shi: “Nakitshi muluisho, muanda nakutua kukookiela eyi dia Yehowa na mayi oobe, nekalanga mutshine bantu nateemesha kibaabadi bandungule. 25 Binobino, nfuile namu lusa bua muluisho wande, na walukie nami bua’shi nkayiname kumpala kua Yehowa.” 26 Kadi Samuele nkulungula Saule’shi: “Ntangalukiila nobe muanda bosumbushena eyi dia Yehowa, na Yehowa namu bakusumbushena bua’shi totungunukanga na kuikala nfumu a Isalele.” 27 Pabaadi Samuele muialuule bua kuenda, Saule bamukuatshile ku luembe lua musapi waye ushi na maboko, anka alo nkusanuka. 28 Paapa Samuele nkumulungula’shi: “Lelo uno Yehowa bakunyengie bufumu bua Isalele, na ebupa ungi muntu mukukile. 29 Efile Mukulu mukile bukata a Isalele takadimbi nya, sunga kushintuula* binangu biaye, muanda te bu muntu bua’shi ashintuule binangu biaye.”

30 Paapa Saule nkualuula’shi: “Nakitshi muluisho, anka nakuisendeela, mpe namu kinemo kumpala kua bakulu ba mu muilo wande na kumpala kua Isalele. Alukiila namu nami bua’shi nkayiname kumpala kua Yehowa Efile Mukulu oobe.” 31 Paapa Samuele nkualukiila na Saule, biabia Saule nkukayinama kumpala kua Yehowa. 32 Samuele nkuamba’shi: “Fikayi na nfumu Agage a ku Amaleke pano pepi nami.” Agage bayile kuadi na moo* wi bukopo mpa n’eshimba kuiyilu, muanda Agage baadi eakuila’shi: ‘Mbinyibinyi tabangipaa’nyi.’ 33 Anka, Samuele nkuamba’shi: “Nka bi bakashi bebungi mbakutue bana kukiila ku lupete lobe lua ngoshi, nyi abikakutua namu nyinobe bana munkatshi mua bakashi naye.” Paapa Samuele nkuipaa Agage kumpala kua Yehowa mu Gilegale.
