¹³ Anɔ abe ƒe 3,000 enee nye esi va yi la, Yehowa gblɔ na nyagblɔɖila tsitsi Samuel gbe ɖeka be: “Etsɔ ɣealewoɣi la, madɔ ŋutsu aɖe ɖe wò tso Benyamin-nyigba dzi.

Eya ta be Samuel nadzra kplɔla yeyea ƒe dzi ɖo na dɔdeasia la, eɖe susu aɖe.

¹⁴ Le ŋufɔke la, Samuel do go Saul eye Yehowa gblɔ na nyagblɔɖilaa be: “Ŋutsu sia ŋu nyae megblɔ na wò.” Enumake Samuel wɔ nu si wòɖo ɖe tame. Eɖe afɔ siwo ana nɔnɔmeawo nasɔ nyuie be wòaɖo dze kple Saul. Samuel kpe Saul kple eƒe subɔvi be woava ɖu nu kpli ye, ena nɔƒe wo ɖe teƒe nyuitɔ, eye wòtsɔ lã ƒe akpa nyuitɔ ɖo wo kɔme. Samuel gblɔ na Saul be: “Ðui, elabena wòe wodzrae ɖo ɖi na.” Esi woɖu nua vɔ la, Samuel kpe Saul be wòava yeƒe aƒe me. Esi wonɔ mɔa dzi yina la, wonɔ dze viviwo ɖom.  Eye esi wova ɖo Samuel ƒe me la, woyi ɖe xɔta, eye “Samuel kple Saul ɖo dze” geɖe le afi ma va se ɖe esime woyi ɖamlɔ anyi. Le ŋufɔke la, Samuel si ami na Saul, egbugbɔ nu nɛ, eye wòɖo aɖaŋu bubu geɖe nɛ. Ema megbe la, Saul trɔ dzo eye wònɔ dzadzraɖoɖi na nu siwo le ŋgɔ nɛ.—1 Samuel 9:17-27; 10:1.

¹⁵ Samuel si ami na Saul be wòanye dukɔ blibo ƒe kplɔla. Enye nyateƒe be esia to vovo na nɔviŋutsu aɖe hehe be wòava zu hamemetsitsi alo subɔsubɔdɔwɔla. Ke hã hamemetsitsiwo ate ŋu asrɔ̃ nu vevi geɖewo tso ale si Samuel dzra Saul ƒe dzi ɖo na eƒe dɔdeasia me. Na míadzro wo dometɔ eve me.

16. (a) Aleke Samuel se le eɖokui me esi Israel-viwo bia be wòaɖo fia na yewo? (b) Aleke Samuel wɔ nui esi Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be wòasi ami na Saul?

¹⁶ Lɔ̃ faa, mègahe ɖe megbe o. Esi Samuel see gbã be Israel-viwo di be woaɖo fia na yewo la, medze eŋu o, eye wòwɔ nɛ be dukɔa gbe ye.

(1 Samuel 8:7, 9, 22) Togbɔ be Samuel se le eɖokui me alea hã la, meʋã ŋu ame si wotia be wòakplɔ dukɔa alo do dziku ɖe eŋu o. Eye esi Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel be wòasi ami na Saul la, mehe ɖe megbe kura o. Elɔ̃ faa wɔ ɖe edzi, menye esi wobiae tso esi ta ko o, ke boŋ le esi wòlɔ̃ Yehowa ta.

17. Egbea aleke hamemetsitsiwo srɔ̃a Samuel ƒe kpɔɖeŋu, eye dzidzɔ kae wònyena na wo?

¹⁷ Egbea hamemetsitsi bibi geɖewo li siwo srɔ̃a Samuel ƒe kpɔɖeŋu eye wonaa hehe nɔvi bubuwo lɔlɔ̃tɔe.

¹⁸ Nye xɔlɔ̃, ke menye nufiala ko o. Esi nyagblɔɖila Samuel do go Saul la, ate ŋu akɔ amia ɖe tame nɛ enumake atsɔ aɖoe fiae.
