8 Benɛ Samuel bwɔ ɔ, e wo e binyumu ɔmɛ kojoli ha Israel.
2 E kekleekle binyumu ɔ biɛ ji Yoel, nɛ enyɔne ɔ biɛ ji Abiya; a ji kojoli ngɛ Beersheba.
3 Se e binyumu ɔmɛ nyɛɛ we e blɔ ɔmɛ a nɔ; a hɛ tsuɔ, a heɔ nyɔ mi ní, nɛ a yi dami sane.
4 Pee se ɔ, Israel nikɔtɔma amɛ tsuo bua a he nya kɛ ba Samuel ngɔ ngɛ Rama.
5 A ba de lɛ ke: “Hyɛ! O bwɔ, se o binyumu ɔmɛ nyɛɛ we o blɔ ɔmɛ a nɔ. Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, moo wo matsɛ ha wɔ, konɛ e kojo wɔ kaa bɔ nɛ e ngɛ ngɛ ma kpa amɛ a mi ɔ.”
6 Se e ngɔɛ Samuel nya* benɛ a de ke: “Ha wɔ matsɛ nɛ́ e kojo wɔ” ɔ. Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel sɔle ha Yehowa,
7 nɛ Yehowa de Samuel ke: “Moo bu nɔ́ fɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ ni ɔmɛ de mo ɔ tue; ejakaa pi mo nɛ a kua, imi mohu lɛ a kua kaa a matsɛ.
8 A ngɛ pee kaa bɔ nɛ a pee kɛ je ligbi nɛ i ngɔ mɛ kɛ je Egipt kɛ ba si mwɔnɛ ligbi nɛ ɔ; a ya nɔ nɛ a ngɛ mi kuae nɛ a ngɛ mawu kpahi sɔmɔe, nɛ jã ji bɔ nɛ a ngɛ mo pee ɔ nɛ.
9 Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, moo bu mɛ tue. Se e sa nɛ o bɔ mɛ kɔkɔ veveeve; tsɔɔ mɛ níhi nɛ matsɛ nɛ e maa ye a nɔ ɔ ngɛ he blɔ kaa e biɔ ngɛ a dɛ.”
10 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Samuel bɔ ni ɔmɛ nɛ a ngɛ lɛ dee ke e wo matsɛ ha mɛ ɔ munyuhi tsuo nɛ Yehowa tu ɔ.
11 E de ke: “Níhi nɛ matsɛ nɛ e maa ye nyɛ nɔ ɔ ngɛ he blɔ kaa e biɔ ngɛ nyɛ dɛ ji nɛ ɔmɛ nɛ: E maa ngɔ nyɛ binyumu ɔmɛ, nɛ e kɛ mɛ maa wo e ta zugba lɛhi a mi, nɛ e maa pee mɛ e we okpɔngɔ nɔ hili, nɛ a ti ni komɛ maa tu fo ngɛ e ta zugba lɛ ɔmɛ a hɛ mi.
12 Nɛ e maa hla nihi kɛ da nimli akpehi a nya, kɛ nihi kɛ da nimli nyingmi enuɔɔnuɔ a nya, nɛ a ti ni komɛ ma hu ngmɔ ha lɛ, ni komɛ ma kpa ní ha lɛ, nɛ ni komɛ maa pee ta hwumi níhi kɛ ta zugba lɛhi a he níhi ha lɛ.
13 E maa ngɔ nyɛ biyi ɔmɛ kɛ pee nu futuli,* ní hooli, kɛ abolo sali.
14 E maa ngɔ nyɛ ngmɔhi nɛ a hi pe kulaa a, nyɛ wai ngmɔ ɔmɛ, kɛ nyɛ oliv ngmɔ ɔmɛ ngɛ nyɛ dɛ, nɛ e kɛ ma ha e sɔmɔli.
15 E maa ngɔ nyɛ ngma kɛ nyɛ wai ngmɔ ɔmɛ a mi dlami nyɔngmanyɔngma mi kakaaka, nɛ e kɛ ma ha e matsɛ we ɔ mi nikɔtɔma amɛ kɛ e sɔmɔli ɔmɛ.
16 Nɛ e maa ngɔ nyɛ sɔmɔli ɔmɛ kɛ nyɛ mawayi ɔmɛ, nyɛ lohwe lɛlɛɛ ɔmɛ nɛ a hi pe kulaa a, kɛ nyɛ teji ɔmɛ, nɛ e kɛ mɛ ma tsu lɛ nitsɛ e ní tsumi.
17 E maa ngɔ nyɛ to kuu ɔmɛ a mi dlami nyɔngmanyɔngma mi kakaaka, nɛ nyɛ maa pee e sɔmɔli.
18 Ligbi ko maa su nɛ nyɛ ma fo ya ngɛ matsɛ nɛ nyɛ hla kɛ ha nyɛ he ɔ he je, se jamɛ a ligbi ɔ, Yehowa be nyɛ nya mi poe.”
19 Se ni ɔmɛ bui nɔ́ nɛ Samuel de mɛ ɔ tue, nɛ a de lɛ ke: “Dɛbi, bɔ fɛɛ bɔ nɛ ji ɔ, wa suɔ nɛ wa ná matsɛ nɛ e ye wa nɔ.
20 Kɛkɛ ɔ, wa maa pee kaa je ma kpa amɛ tsuo, nɛ wa matsɛ ɔ maa kojo wɔ, nɛ e maa nyɛɛ wa hɛ mi, nɛ e maa hwu wa ta amɛ ha wɔ.”
21 Benɛ Samuel nu munyuhi tsuo nɛ ni ɔmɛ tu ɔ, e ya tĩ mi kɛ tsɔɔ Yehowa nɛ e nu.
22 Yehowa de Samuel ke: “Moo bu mɛ tue, nɛ o wo matsɛ ha mɛ nɛ e ye a nɔ.” Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de Israel nyumu ɔmɛ ke: “Nyɛ ti nɔ fɛɛ nɔ nɛ kpale kɛ ho e ma mi ya.”
