1Kwakukho ndoda yakwaBhenjamin, igama layo belinguKishe, unyana ka-Abhiyeli, unyana kaSerore, unyana kaBhekorati, unyana ka-Afiya, umBhenjamin, igorha. 2Yayinonyana ogama linguSawule, umfo omtsha, omhle, omhle; bekungekho ndoda ilungileyo phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli kunaye; ethabathele emagxeni enyusa, wayemde kunabo bonke abantu. 3Zafa iiesile zikaKishe uyise kaSawule. Wathi uKishe kuSawule unyana wakhe, Thabatha omnye wakubakhonzi, uye kuzifuna iimazi zamaesile. 4Wahamba waya kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, wacanda ilizwe laseSalisa, abawabona; balityhutyha ilizwe laseSalem, nalapho zazingekho; yaye walityhutyha ilizwe loonyana bakaBhenjamin, kodwa abazange bababone. 5Bakufika ezweni laseSufi, uSawule wathi kumfana obenaye, Hamba sibuye; latata akayeki ukuhoya iidonki usicingele. 6Wathi ke yena kuye, Uyabona, kulo mzi kukho umntu kaThixo; yonke into ayithethayo iyenzeka; masiye khona ngoku; mhlawumbi angasibonisa indlela emasihambe ngayo. 7Wathi uSawule kumfana lowo, Yabona, sihamba nje, siya kumphathela ntoni na? ngokuba isonka esisezimbizeni zethu siphelile; akukho sathabatha singasisela umfo wakwaThixo into esinayo. 8Waphinda umfana wamphendula uSawule, wathi, Uyabona, ndinesahlulo sesine seshekele yesilivere; Le nto ndiza kuyinika umfo wakwaThixo, asixelele indlela yethu. 9Ngemihla yamandulo kwaSirayeli, xa umntu esiya kubuza kuThixo, ubesithi, Yiza siye kumatola; ngokuba lowo kuthiwa ungumprofeti namhla, ubethiwa yimboni ngenxa engaphambili. 10Wathi uSawule kumfana lowo, Ulungisile ukuthetha; Yiza sihambe, baya kuloo mzi abekhona umfo wakwaThixo. 11Enyuka esiya emzini, enyuka esiya entabeni, afumana iintombi zisiya kukha amanzi, athi kuwo, Ikho na imboni leyo? 12Baphendula bathi kubo, Ukhona; niyabona, uphambi kwenu; khawulezani, ngokuba ifikile namhlanje kulo mzi; kuba namhlanje kukho umbingelelo wasesidlangalaleni endaweni ephakamileyo; 13ekungeneni kwenu esixekweni, noyifumana kwaoko ingekanyuki iye kudla endaweni ephakamileyo; ngokuba abayi kudla abantu, ingekafiki, wawusikelela umbingelelo; baza emva koko badla abo babemenyiwe. Ngoko sukuma ngoku; ngokuba niya kumfumana ngeli xesha. 14Benyuka baya kuwo umzi, bakungena kuwo umzi, waphuma uSamuweli wabakhawulela, enyuka aye esigangeni. 15Wathetha uYehova kuSamuweli endlebeni yakhe, kwangemini yangaphambi kokuza kukaSawule, esithi, 16Ngeli xesha ngomso, ndiya kuthumela kuwe indoda yasezweni lakwaBhenjamin, iyithambise, ibe yinganga yabantu bam amaSirayeli, ibasindise abantu bam esandleni samaFilisti; kuba ndiyibonile. 17uSamuweli wambona uSawule, wathi uYehova kuye, Nantsi le ndoda bendithethe ngayo kuwe; Uya kubalawula abantu bam. 18Waya uSawule kuSamuweli esangweni, wathi, Ndixelele, iphi na indlu yemilingo? 19uSamuweli wamphendula uSawule, wathi, Ndiyimboni; Mtsalele phambi kwam enyangweni; ngokuba namhlanje uya kudla nam, ndikukhulule ngomso, ndikuxelele konke okusentliziyweni yakho. 20Ke iimazi zamaesile esekuntsuku ntathu namhla zikulahlekile, uze ungakhathali kuzo; ngokuba bafunyenwe. Ziphezu kabani na zonke izinto ezinqwenelekayo zakwaSirayeli? Ayikho kuwe nakuyo yonke indawo endlwini yakho? 21Waphendula uSawule, wathi, AndingumBhenjamin yini na, oyena mncinane kwizizwe zakwaSirayeli? nesizukulwana sam esincinane kwizizukulwana zonke zesizwe sakwaBhenjamin? Khona kutheni uthetha nam ngolohlobo? 22uSamuweli wamthabatha uSawule nomfana lowo, wabangenisa egumbini lokuhlala, wababeka kweyona ndawo iphakamileyo phakathi kwabamenyiweyo, bekumashumi amathathu abantu. 23Wathi uSamuweli kumpheki, Zisa isabelo endakunikayo, endisithethileyo kuwe, ndathi, Sibeke. 24Umoji-zonka wathabatha igxalaba eliphezu kwayo, wawubeka phambi koSawule. Wathi uSamuweli, Yabona, into eseleyo; Yibeke phambi kwakho udle, ngokuba ibibekelwe nina, kususela koko ndathi, Ndimemile abantu. Wadla ke uSawule noSamuweli ngaloo mini. 25Behla esigangeni, bangena esixekweni, wathetha uSamuweli kuSawule phezu kwendlu. 26Bavuka kusasa, uSamuweli wabiza uSawule phezu kwendlu, wathi, Vuka, ndikushiye. Wagqitywa ke uSawule, baphuma bobabini, yena noSamuweli. 27Kwathi, behla baya ekupheleni komzi, wathi uSamuweli kuSawule, Yitsho kumfana lowo, ukuba ahambe phambi kwethu (wasa ke yena), khawume ithutyana, ndithethe kuwe ilizwi likaYehova uThixo.
