11 Ndipo Yehova anatumiza Yerubaala, ndi Baraki, ndi Yefita, ndi Samuele, napulumutsa inu m’manja mwa adani anu pozungulira ponse, ndipo munakhala mosatekeseka.

12 Ndipo pamene munaona kuti Nahasi mfumu ya ana a Amoni inadza kuponyana nanu, munanena ndi ine, Koma mfumu itiweruze; ngakhale mfumu yanu ndiye Yehova Mulungu wanu.

13 Chifukwa chake siyi mfumu imene munaisankha, imene munandipempha; ndipo taonani, Yehova anakuikirani mfumu.

15 Koma mukapanda kumvera mau a Yehova, ndi kupikisana ndi lamulo la Yehova, dzanja la Yehova lidzatsutsana nanu, monga linatsutsana ndi makolo anu.

16 Chifukwa chake tsono, imani pano, muone chinthu ichi chachikulu Yehova adzachichita pamaso panu.

17 Si nyengo yakumweta tirigu lero kodi? Ndidzaitana kwa Yehova, kuti atumize bingu ndi mvula; ndipo mudzazindikira ndi kuona kuti choipa chanu munachichita pamaso pa Yehova ndi kudzipemphera mfumu, nchachikulu.

18 Momwemo Samuele anaitana kwa Yehova; ndipo Yehova anatumiza bingu ndi mvula tsiku lomwelo; ndipo anthu onse anaopa kwambiri Yehova ndi Samuele.

19 Ndipo anthu onse ananena ndi Samuele, Mupempherere akapolo anu kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, kuti tingafe; popeza pamwamba pa zoipa zathu zonse tinaonjeza choipa ichi, chakuti tinadzipemphera mfumu.

20 Ndipo Samuele ananena kwa anthuwo, Musaope; munachitadi choipa ichi chonse, koma musaleka kutsata Yehova, koma mutumikire Yehova ndi mtima wanu wonse;

21 musapatukire inu kutsata zinthu zachabe, zosapindulitsa, zosapulumutsa, popeza zili zopanda pake.

4 Ndipo Aisraele onse anamva kunena kuti Saulo anathyola kaboma ka Afilisti, ndi kuti Afilisti anyansidwa ndi Aisraele. Ndipo anthuwo anasonkhana kwa Saulo ku Giligala.

5 Ndipo Afilisti anasonkhana kuti akamenyane ndi Aisraele, anali nao magaleta zikwi makumi atatu, ndi apakavalo zikwi zisanu ndi chimodzi, ndi anthu akuchuluka monga mchenga wa m’mphepete mwa nyanja. Iwowa anakwera namanga zithando ku Mikimasi kum’mawa kwa Betaveni.

10 Ndipo kunali kuti pakutsiriza iye kupereka nsembe yopserezayo, pomwepo, onani, Samuele anafika. Ndipo Saulo anamchingamira kukamlonjera iye.

11 Ndipo Samuele anati, Mwachitanji? Nati Saulo, Chifukwa ndinaona kuti anthuwo alinkubalalika kundisiya ine, ndi kuti inu simunafike masiku aja tinapangana, ndi kuti Afilisti anasonkhana ku Mikimasi;

12 chifukwa chake ndinati, Afilisti adzatitsikira pano pa Giligala, ndisanapembedze Yehova; potero ndinadzifulumiza, ndi kupereka nsembe yopsereza.

13 Ndipo Samuele ananena ndi Saulo, Munachita kopusa; simunasunge lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wanu, limene Iye anakulamulirani; mwenzi Yehova atakhazikitsa nthawi ino ufumu wanu, ukhale pa Israele nthawi yosatha.

14 Koma tsopano ufumu wanu sudzakhala chikhalire; Yehova wadzifunira munthu wa pamtima pake; ndipo Yehova wamuika iye akhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake, chifukwa inu simunasunge chimene Yehova anakulamulirani.

15 Ndipo Samuele anauka nachoka ku Giligala kunka ku Gibea wa ku Benjamini. Ndipo Saulo anawerenga anthu amene anali naye, monga mazana asanu ndi limodzi.

16 Ndipo Saulo, ndi Yonatani mwana wake, ndi anthu akukhala nao anakhala ku Geba wa ku Benjamini; koma Afilistiwo anali nazo zithando zao ku Mikimasi.

17 Ndipo owawanya anatuluka ku zithando za Afilisti magulu atatu; gulu limodzi linalowa njira yonka ku Ofura, ku dera la Suwala;

18 gulu lina linalowa njira yonka ku Betehoroni; ndi gulu linanso linalowa ku njira ya kumalire, akuyang’ana ku chigwa cha Zeboimu kuchipululuko.

19 Ndipo m’dziko lonse la Israele simunapezeke wosula; popeza Afilisti adati, Kuti Aisraele angadzisulire malupanga kapena mikondo;

20 koma Aisraele onse ankatsikira kwa Afilisti, kuti awasanjire munthu yense chikhasu chake, cholimira chake, nkhwangwa yake, ndi chisenga chake;

21 ndipo mtengo wakukonza makasu, ndi zikhasu ndi makasu a mano unali masekeli awiri mwa atatu ndi mtengo wa nkhwangwazo; ndi kusongola zotwikira unali sekeli imodzi mwa atatu.

22 Chomwecho kunali kuti tsiku lankhondolo sunapezeke mkondo kapena lupanga m’manja a anthu onse anali ndi Saulo ndi Yonatani; koma Saulo yekha ndi Yonatani mwana wake anali nazo.

23 Ndipo a ku kaboma ka Afilisti anatuluka kunja ku mpata wa ku Mikimasi.

4 Ndipo pakati pa mipata imene Yonatani anafuna kupitapo kunka ku kaboma ka Afilisti, panali phiri lathanthwe pa mbali ina, ndi phiri lathanthwe pa mbali inzake; ndipo dzina la linalo ndilo Bozezi, ndi la linzake ndilo Sene.

5 Phiri lija linaimirira kuyang’ana kumpoto pandunji pa Mikimasi, ndi linzake kumwera pandunji pa Geba.

6 Ndipo Yonatani ananena ndi mnyamata wonyamula zida zake, Tiye tipite ku kaboma ka osadulidwa awa; kapena Yehova adzatigwirira ntchito; pakuti palibe chomletsa Yehova kupulumutsa angakhale ndi ambiri kapena ndi owerengeka.

7 Ndipo wonyamula zida zake anena naye, Chitani zonse zili mumtima mwanu; palukani, onani ndili pamodzi ndi inu monga mwa mtima wanu.

8 Ndipo Yonatani anati, Taona, ife tidzapita kunka kwa anthuwo, ndipo tidzadziwulula kwa iwo.

9 Akatero ndi ife kuti, Baimani kufikira titsikira kwa inu; tsono tidzaima m’malo mwathu, osakwera kwa iwo.

10 Koma akatero kuti, Kwerani kuno kwa ife, tsono tidzakwera; pakuti Yehova wawapereka m’manja mwathu; ndipo ichi chidzatikhalira chizindikiro.

11 Ndipo onse awiri anadziwulula kwa a ku kaboma ka Afilistiwo; ndipo Afilistiwo anati, Onani, Ahebri alikutuluka m’mauna m’mene anabisala.

12 Ndipo a ku kabomawo anayankha Yonatani ndi wonyamula zida zake, nati, Kwerani kuno kwa ife, tikuonetseni kanthu. Ndipo Yonatani, anauza wonyamula zida zake, Kwera unditsate m’mbuyo, pakuti Yehova wawapereka m’dzanja la Israele.

13 Ndipo Yonatani anakwera chokwawa, ndi wonyamula zida zake anamtsata; ndi Afilisti anagwa pamaso pa Yonatani, ndi wonyamula zida zake anawapha pambuyo pake.

14 Kuwapha koyambako, Yonatani ndi wonyamula zida zake, anapha monga anthu makumi awiri, monga ndime ya munda yolima ng’ombe ziwiri tsiku limodzi.

15 Ndipo kunali kunthunthumira kuzithando, kuthengoko, ndi pakati pa anthu onse; a ku kaboma ndi owawanya omwe ananthunthumira; ndi dziko linagwedezeka; chomwecho kunali kunthunthumira kwakukulu koposa.

16 Ndipo ozonda a Saulo ku Gibea wa ku Benjamini anayang’ana; ndipo, onani, khamu la anthu linamwazikana, kulowa kwina ndi kwina.

Saulo alumbirira anthu

17 Pamenepo Saulo ananena ndi anthu amene anali naye, Awerenge tsopano, kuti tizindikire anatichokera ndani. Ndipo pamene anawerenga, onani Yonatani ndi wonyamula zida zake panalibe.

18 Ndipo Saulo ananena ndi Ahiya, Bwera nalo likasa la Mulungu kuno. Pakuti likasa la Mulungu linali kumeneko masiku aja ndi ana a Israele.

19 Ndipo kunali m’mene Saulo anali chilankhulire ndi wansembeyo, phokoso la m’chigono cha Afilisti linachitikabe, nilikula; ndipo Saulo ananena ndi wansembeyo, Bweza dzanja lako.

20 Ndipo Saulo ndi anthu onse amene anali naye anaunjikana pamodzi, natulukira kunkhondoko; ndipo taonani, munthu yense anakantha mnzake ndi lupanga, ndipo panali kusokonezeka kwakukulu.

21 Ndiponso Ahebri akukhala nao Afilisti kale, amene anatuluka m’dziko lozungulira kukalowa nao kuzithando; iwonso anatembenukira kuti akakhale ndi Aisraele amene anali ndi Saulo ndi Yonatani.

22 Anateronso Aisraele onse akubisala m’phiri la Efuremu, pakumva kuti Afilisti anathawa, iwo anawapirikitsa kolimba kunkhondoko.

23 Chomwecho Yehova anapulumutsa Israele tsiku lija; ndipo nkhondo inapitirira pa Betaveni.

24 Ndipo Aisraele anasauka tsiku lija; pakuti Saulo anawalumbirira, kuti, Atembereredwe iye wakudya kanthu kufikira madzulo, ndikabwezere chilango adani anga. Motero anthu onse anakhala opanda kudya.

25 Ndipo anthu onsewo analowa munkhalango, panali uchi pansi.

26 Ndipo pakufika anthuwo m’nkhalangomo, onani, madzi a uchi anachuluka; koma panalibe munthu mmodzi anaika dzanja lake pakamwa, pakuti anthuwo anaopa tembererolo.

27 Koma Yonatani sanamve m’mene atate wake analumbirira anthu; chifukwa chake iye anatambalitsa ndodo ya m’dzanja lake, naitosa m’chisa cha uchi, naika dzanja lake pakamwa pake; ndipo m’maso mwake munayera.

28 Ndipo wina wa anthuwo anayankha, nati, Atate wanu analangiza anthu kolimba ndi lumbiro, ndi kuti, Wotembereredwa iye wakudya lero chakudya. Ndipo anthuwo analema.

29 Ndipo Yonatani anati, Atate wanga wavuta dziko; onani m’maso mwanga mwayera, chifukwa ndinalawako pang’ono uchiwu.

30 Koposa kotani nanga, ngati anthu akadadya nakhuta zowawanya anazipeza za adani ao? Popeza tsopano palibe kuwapha kwakukulu kwa Afilisti.

31 Ndipo anakantha Afilisti tsiku lija kuyambira ku Mikimasi kufikira ku Ayaloni, ndipo anthu anafooka kwambiri.

32 Ndipo anthuwo anathamangira zowawanyazo, natenga nkhosa, ndi ng’ombe, ndi anaang’ombe, naziphera pansi; anthu nazidya zili ndi mwazi wao.

33 Pamenepo anauza Saulo, kuti, Onani anthu alikuchimwira Yehova, umo akudya zamwazi. Ndipo iye anati, Munachita konyenga; kunkhunizani mwala waukulu kwa ine lero.

34 Ndipo Saulo anati, Balalikani pakati pa anthu, nimuwauze kuti abwere kwa ine kuno munthu yense ndi ng’ombe yake, ndi munthu yense ndi nkhosa yake, aziphe pano, ndi kuzidya, osachimwira Yehova ndi kudya zamwazi. Nabwera anthu onse, yense ndi ng’ombe yake, usiku uja naziphera pomwepo.

35 Ndipo Saulo anamangira Yehova guwa la nsembe; limenelo ndilo guwa loyamba iye anamangira Yehova.

Yonatani atsutsidwa afe

36 Ndipo Saulo anati, Tiyeni titsikire usiku kwa Afilistiwo, ndi kuwawawanya kufikira kutayera, tisasiye munthu mmodzi wa iwowa. Ndipo iwo anati, Chitani chilichonse chikukomerani. Pamenepo wansembeyo anati, Tisendere kwa Mulungu kuno.

37 Ndipo Saulo anafunsira uphungu kwa Mulungu, Nditsikire kodi kwa Afilisti? Mudzawapereka m’dzanja la Israele kodi? Koma Iye sanamyankhe tsiku lomweli.

38 Ndipo Saulo anati, Musendere kuno, inu nonse akulu a anthu; kuti muzindikire ndi kuona m’mene muli choipa ichi lero.

39 Pakuti, pali Yehova wakupulumutsa Israele, chingakhale chili m’mwana wanga Yonatani, koma adzafa ndithu. Koma pakati pa anthu onse panalibe mmodzi wakumyankha iye.

40 Ndipo iye ananena ndi Aisraele onse, Inu mukhale mbali ina, ndipo ine ndi Yonatani mwana wanga tidzakhala mbali yinanso. Ndipo anthuwo ananena ndi Saulo, Chitani chimene chikukomerani.

41 Chifukwa chake Saulo ananena ndi Yehova, Mulungu wa Israele, muonetse choonadi. Ndipo maere anagwera Saulo ndi Yonatani; koma anthuwo anapulumuka.

44 Pamenepo Saulo anati, Mulungu andilange, naonjezereko, pakuti udzafa ndithu, Yonatani.

Anthu alanditsa Yonatani

45 Ndipo anthuwo ananena ndi Saulo, kodi Yonatani adzafa, amene anachititsa chipulumutso chachikulu ichi mu Israele? Musatero. Pali Yehova, palibe tsitsi limodzi la pamutu wake lidzagwa pansi, pakuti iye anagwirizana ndi Mulungu lero. Chomwecho anthuwo anapulumutsa Yonatani kuti angafe.

47 Ndipo pamene Saulo atakhazikitsa ufumu wa pa Israele, iye anaponyana ndi adani ake onse pozungulira ponse, ndi Mowabu, ndi ana a Amoni, ndi Edomu ndi mafumu a Zoba, ndi Afilisti; ndipo paliponse anapotolokerapo, anawalanga.

48 Ndipo iye anakula mphamvu, nakantha Aamaleke, napulumutsa Aisraele m’manja a akuwawawanya.

49 Ndipo ana a Saulo ndiwo Yonatani, ndi Isivi, ndi Malikisuwa; ndi maina a ana aakazi ake awiri ndi awa: dzina la woyamba ndiye Merabi, ndi dzina la mng’ono wake ndiye Mikala;
