USamuweli umisa amadodana akhe ukuba abe abahluleli
1Kwathi uSamuweli esemdala wabeka amadodana akhe abahluleli phezu kukaIsrayeli.
2Igama lezibulo lakhe lalinguJoweli; igama lowesibili lalingu-Abiya; babengabahluleli eBeri Sheba.
3Amadodana akhe awahambanga ngezindlela zakhe, kepha aphambukela ekuzuzeni inzuzo, amukela isifumbathiso, aphendukezela isahlulelo.
4Abuthana onke amadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli, eza kuSamuweli eRama.
5Wathi kuye: “Bheka, usumdala, amadodana akho awahambi ngezindlela zakho; manje simisele inkosi ukuba isahlulele njengezizwe zonke.
6Kodwa le ndaba yayimbi emehlweni kaSamuweli lapho bethi: “Sinike inkosi ukuba isahlulele.” USamuweli wakhuleka kuJehova.
7INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Lalela ilizwi labantu kukho konke abakutsho kuwe, ngoba kabakulahlanga wena, kodwa bangilahlile mina, ukuze ngingabi yinkosi phezu kwabo.
8Njengemisebenzi yonke abayenzayo kusukela osukwini engabakhuphula ngalo eGibithe kuze kube yilolu suku abangishiya ngalo, bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, benza kanjalo nakini.
9Manje lalela izwi labo; kodwa phikisane labo futhi ubatshele ilungelo lenkosi ezakubabusa.
10USamuweli wakhuluma onke amazwi kaJehova kubantu abacela kuye inkosi.
11Wathi: “Nansi indlela yenkosi eyakubusa phezu kwenu: iyakuthatha amadodana enu, iwamisele wona abe yizinqola zayo nangabamahhashi bayo; abanye bayakugijima phambi kwezinqola zakhe.
12Iyakummisa abe yinduna yenkulungwane nenduna yamashumi ayisihlanu; futhi iyozimisela ukuba zilime insimu yayo, zivune isivuno sayo, yenze izikhali zayo zempi nezinqola zayo.
13Iyakuthatha amadodakazi enu abe abapheki, nabapheki, nababhaki.
14Iyakuthatha amasimu enu, nezivini zenu, neminqumo yenu emihle kunayo yonke, ikunike izinceku zayo.
15Iyakuthatha okweshumi kwembewu yenu nokwezivini zenu, ikunike izinceku zayo nezinceku zayo.
16Iyakuthatha izinceku zenu nezincekukazi zenu nezinsizwa zenu ezinhle nezimbongolo zenu ikwenzele umsebenzi wayo.
17Izathatha okwetshumi kwezimvu zenu, lina libe yizinceku zayo.
18Niyokhala ngalolo suku ngenxa yenkosi yenu enizikhethele yona; uJehova akayikunilalela ngalolo suku.
19Kepha abantu bala ukulalela izwi likaSamuweli; baphendula bathi: Hatshi! kepha siyakuba nenkosi phezu kwethu;
20ukuze nathi sibe njengazo zonke izizwe; futhi ukuze inkosi yethu isahlulele futhi iphume phambi kwethu futhi ilwe izimpi zethu.
21USamuweli wezwa onke amazwi abantu, wawezwa phambi kwezindlebe zikaJehova.
22UJehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Lalela izwi labo, ubenzele inkosi.” Wayesethi uSamuweli kubantu bakwa-Israyeli: “Hambani, kube yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo.”
