1 Samuweli 10
1USamuweli wayesethatha isitsha samafutha, wawathela ekhanda lakhe, wamanga, wathi: “Kungokuba uJehova ekugcobile ukuba ube ngumbusi wefa lakhe na?
2Lapho nisuka kimi namuhla niyakufumana amadoda amabili ethuneni likaRaheli emngceleni wakwaBenjamini eSelsa; bayakuthi kuwe: Izimbongolo obuye ukuzifuna zitholiwe; bheka, uyihlo waziyeka izimbongolo, wadabuka ngawe, wathi: ‘Ngiyakwenze njani ngendodana yami na?’
3Kumelwe usuke lapho, ufike ethafeni laseThabhori; amadoda amathathu ayakuhlangana nawe ekhuphukela kuNkulunkulu eBethele, omunye ethwele izimbuzi ezintathu, omunye ephethe izinkwa ezintathu, omunye ephethe imvaba lewayini.
4Bayakubingelela, bakunike izinkwa ezimbili; elizakwemukela ezandleni zabo.
5Emva kwalokho uyakufika entabeni kaNkulunkulu, lapho ibutho lamaFilisti likhona; lapho ufika khona emzini, uyakubona uquqaba lwabaprofethi behla phezulu bephethe ihabhu nesigubhu nesigubhu nehabhu phambi kwabo; bayakuprofetha;
6UMoya kaJehova uzakufika phezu kwakho, uprofethe kanye nabo, uguqulwe ube ngomunye umuntu.
7Futhi makuthi, lapho lezi zibonakaliso zifika kuwe, uzisebenze njengethuba; ngoba uNkulunkulu unawe.
8Kumelwe wehlele phambi kwami eGiligali; bheka, ngiza kini ukunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nokuhlabela iminikelo yokuthula; uyakuhlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngize ngifike kuwe, ngikutshele omelwe ukwenze.
9Lapho efulathela ukuba asuke kuSamuweli, uNkulunkulu wamnika enye inhliziyo, futhi zonke lezo zibonakaliso zenzeka ngalolo suku.
10Lapho befika lapho entabeni, kwafika uquqaba lwabaprofethi ukumhlangabeza; uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe, waprofetha phakathi kwabo.
11Kwathi bonke ababemazi ngaphambili bebona ukuthi wayeprofethile phakathi kwabaprofethi, abantu bathi omunye komunye: “Kwenzekeni endodaneni kaKishi na?” Ingabe noSawule uphakathi kwabaprofethi?
12Wasephendula omunye wakhona wathi: Ngubani uyise wabo? Ngakho kwaba yisaga sokuthi: “Kanti noSawule uphakathi kwabaprofethi na?
13Eseqedile ukuprofetha, wafika endaweni ephakemeyo;
14Uyisekazi kaSawule wathi kuye nasencekwini yakhe: “Beniya ngaphi na? Wayesethi: “Ngiyofuna izimbongolo; kwathi sesibona ukuthi abekho, safika kuSamuweli.
15Uyisekazi kaSawule wathi: “Ngitsheleni ukuthi uSamuweli utheni kini.
16USawuli wasesithi kuyisekazi: Usitshele ngokucacileyo ukuthi izimbongolo zitholakele. Kodwa indaba yombuso uSamuweli akhuluma ngayo, kamtshelanga.
17USamuweli wabizela ndawonye abantu kuJehova eMispa;
18wathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Isho kanje iNkosi, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: Ngakhuphula u-Israyeli eGibithe, nganisindisa esandleni sabaseGibithe, nasesandleni sayo yonke imibuso, nakuyo eyayinicindezela.
19Nina nimlahlile namuhla uNkulunkulu wenu, owanisindisa kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zenu nezinsizi zenu; laselisithi kuye: Hatshi, kodwa sibekele inkosi phezu kwethu. Manje zimiseni phambi kukaJehova ngokwezizwe zenu nangezinkulungwane zenu.
20Lapho uSamuweli esesondeza zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli, kwathathwa isizwe sakwaBenjamini.
21Esesondele isizwe sakwaBenjamini ngemindeni yaso, kwathathwa umndeni wakwaMatiri, noSawule indodana kaKishi wathunjwa; kwathi sebemfuna, akabange esafunyanwa.
22Yingakho babuza futhi kuJehova mayelana nokuthi lowo muntu usazoza yini lapho. Wathi uJehova: Bheka, wacasha phakathi kwezinto.
23Basebegijima bamlanda khona; lapho emi phakathi kwabantu, wayemude kunabo bonke abantu kusukela emahlombe kuye phezulu.
24USamuweli wasesithi ebantwini bonke: Limbonile yini amkhethileyo uJehova, ukuthi kakho onjengaye phakathi kwabantu bonke? Base bekhala bonke abantu, bathi: “Inkosi mayisindise inkosi!
25USamuweli wayesebatshela abantu indlela yombuso, wayiloba encwadini, wayibeka phambi kukaJehova. USamuweli wayesebamukisa bonke abantu, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya endlini yakhe.
26Naye uSawule waya ekhaya eGibeya; kwahamba naye iviyo lamadoda anhliziyo yawo yayithinte uNkulunkulu.
27Kepha abantwana bakwaBeliyali bathi: “Lo uyakusisindisa kanjani na?” Futhi bamdelela, futhi abazange bamlethele izipho. Kodwa wathula.
