1 Samuele 15:1-35
15 Ebuna Samuele tubilaka Saule nde: “Yehowa tindaka mono sambu na kutula nge mafuta sambu nge kuma ntotila ya bantu na yandi Izraele;+ ntangu yai wa mambu yina Yehowa ke tuba.+
2 Yehowa ya makesa ke tuba nde: ‘Mono ta sambisa bantu ya Amaleki na mambu yina bo salaka Izraele ntangu bo nwanisaka bo na nzila, ntangu bo vandaka kubasika na Ezipte.+
3 Ntangu yai kwenda, mpi bula bantu ya Amaleki,+ ebuna fwa+ bo ti bima na bo yonso. Nge fwete bikisa bo ve na luzingu;* nge fwete fwa bo,+ babakala ti bankento, bana ti bana-fioti, bangombe ti mameme, bashamo ti bampunda.’”+
4 Saule bingaka bantu mpi tangaka bo na Telayimi: Bo vandaka basoda 200 000 yina ke tambulaka na makulu mpi bantu ya Yuda 10 000.+
5 Saule kwendaka tii na mbanza ya Amaleki mpi bumbanaka pene-pene ya muwanda.
6 Ebuna Saule tubilaka bantu ya Keni nde:+ “Beno kwenda, beno katuka na kati ya bantu ya Amaleki, sambu mono fwa beno ve nzila mosi ti bo.+ Sambu beno monisaka zola ya kwikama na bantu yonso ya Izraele+ ntangu bo basikaka na Ezipte.” Yo yina bantu ya Keni katukaka na kati ya bantu ya Amaleki.
7 Na nima Saule fwaka bantu ya Amaleki+ yantika na Avila+ tii na Shure,+ yina kele pene-pene ya Ezipte.
8 Yandi kangaka Agagi,+ ntotila ya Amaleki ya moyo, kansi yandi fwaka bantu yonso ya nkaka ti mbele ya bitumba.+
9 Saule ti bantu na yandi fwaka ve* Agagi, mpi mameme ya kuluta kitoko, bangombe ya kuluta kitoko, bambisi ya mafuta ya kuluta kitoko, mameme ya babakala ya kuluta kitoko, mpi bima yonso ya mbote ya kuluta kitoko.+ Bo zolaka ve kufwa yo. Kansi bo fwaka bima yonso ya mpamba mpi ya kukonda mfunu.
10 Ebuna Yehowa tubilaka Samuele nde:
11 “Mono me wa mawa* mutindu mono tulaka Saule ntotila, sambu yandi me yambula kulanda mono, mpi yandi me zitisa ve mambu yina mono tubaka.”+ Diambu yai yangisaka Samuele mingi, mpi yandi landaka kudidila Yehowa mpimpa ya mvimba.+
12 Ntangu yandi telamaka na suka-suka sambu na kukutana ti Saule, bo songaka Samuele nde: “Saule kwendaka na Karmele,+ mpi yandi kuditungilaka monima kuna.+ Na nima yandi balukaka mpi kulumukaka na Gilgale.”
13 Nsuka-nsuka ntangu Samuele kumaka na kisika yina yandi vandaka, Saule tubilaka yandi nde: “Bika Yehowa kusakumuna nge. Mono me zitisa ndinga ya Yehowa.”
14 Kansi Samuele tubaka nde: “Ebuna makelele ya mameme yina mono ke wa na makutu na mono, mpi makelele ya bangombe yina mono ke wa ke tendula inki?”+
15 Saule tubaka nde: “Bo bakaka yo na bantu ya Amaleki, sambu bantu fwaka ve* mameme mpi bangombe ya kuluta kitoko sambu na kutambikila Yehowa Nzambi na nge; kansi beto fwaka yina bikalaka.”
16 Ebuna Samuele tubilaka Saule nde: “Bika kutuba! Bika mono songa nge mambu yina Yehowa me tubila mono na mpimpa.”+ Ebuna yandi tubilaka yandi nde: “Tuba!”
17 Samuele landaka kutuba nde: “Keti nge vandaka ve muntu ya kukonda mfunu na meso na nge mosi+ ntangu bo tulaka nge mfumu ya makanda ya Izraele mpi ntangu Yehowa tulaka nge mafuta sambu nge vanda ntotila ya Izraele?+
18 Na nima Yehowa pesaka nge kisalu mpi tubaka nde, ‘Kwenda, mpi fwa bansumuki ya Amaleki.+ Nwanisa bo tii kuna nge ta manisa bo.’+
19 Ebuna sambu na nki nge zitisaka ve ndinga ya Yehowa? Kansi, nge bwilaka bima na bo+ na lukasi yonso mpi nge salaka mambu yina kele mbi na meso ya Yehowa!”
20 Ata mpidina, Saule tubilaka Samuele nde: “Kansi mono zitisaka ndinga ya Yehowa! Mono kwendaka kusala kisalu yina Yehowa tindaka mono, mono kwisaka kunata Agagi ntotila ya Amaleki, mpi mono fwaka bantu ya Amaleki.+
21 Kansi bantu bakaka mameme mpi bangombe na kati ya bima yina bo botulaka, bima ya kuluta kitoto na kati ya bima yina yo lombaka nde bo fwa, sambu na kutambikila Yehowa Nzambi na nge na Gilgale.”+
22 Ebuna Samuele tubaka nde: “Keti Yehowa ke waka kiese mingi na makabu ya kuyoka mpi na bimenga+ kuluta na kuzitisa ndinga ya Yehowa? Wa! Kulemfuka kele mbote kuluta kimenga,+ mpi kutula dikebi kele mbote kuluta mafuta+ ya mameme ya babakala;
23 sambu kukolama+ kele mutindu mosi ti disumu ya kuzabisa na ntwala mambu yina ta bwa,+ mpi kukwenda na ntwala na lulendo yonso kele mutindu mosi ti kusala bisalu ya mazi mpi lusambu ya biteki.* Sambu nge me losa ndinga ya Yehowa,+ yandi mpi me losa nge sambu nge vanda diaka ve ntotila.”+
24 Ebuna Saule tubilaka Samuele nde: “Mono me sala disumu, sambu mono me fwa nsiku ya Yehowa mpi mambu yina nge tubaka, sambu mono waka bantu boma mpi mono waka mambu yina bo tubaka.
25 Mpi ntangu yai pardo, lolula disumu na mono, mpi vutuka ti mono sambu mono fukimina Yehowa.”+
26 Kansi Samuele tubilaka Saule nde: “Mono ta vutuka ve ti nge, sambu nge me losa ndinga ya Yehowa, mpi Yehowa me losa nge sambu nge vanda diaka ve ntotila ya Izraele.”+
27 Ntangu Samuele balukaka sambu yandi kwenda, Saule simbaka nsongi ya kazaka na yandi ya kukonda maboko, ebuna yo pasukaka.
28 Ebuna Samuele tubilaka yandi nde: “Bubu yai Yehowa me katula kimfumu ya Izraele na maboko na nge, mpi yandi ta pesa yo na nkweno na nge yina kele mbote kuluta nge.+
29 Diaka, Muntu ya Lukumu ya Izraele+ ta kusa ve+ mpi ta soba ve mabanza na yandi,* sambu yandi kele ve muntu sambu yandi soba mabanza na yandi.”*+
30 Ebuna yandi tubaka nde: “Mono me sala disumu. Kansi pardo, pesa mono lukumu na ntwala ya bankuluntu ya bantu na mono mpi na ntwala ya Izraele. Vutuka ti mono, ebuna mono ta fukimina Yehowa Nzambi na nge.”+
31 Samuele vutukaka na nima ya Saule, mpi Saule fukiminaka Yehowa.
32 Ebuna Samuele tubaka nde: “Beno nata Agagi ntotila ya Amaleki pene-pene na mono.” Ebuna Agagi kwendaka pene-pene na yandi ti boma mpi keti-keti,* sambu Agagi vandaka kuditubila nde: ‘Ya kieleka, kigonsa* ya lufwa me luta.’
33 Kansi, Samuele tubaka nde: “Kaka mutindu mbele na nge ya bitumba me bikisaka bankento mingi kukonda bana, mama na nge mpi ta konda bana kuluta bankento yonso.” Mpi Samuele zengaka Agagi bitini-bitini na ntwala ya Yehowa na Gilgale.+
34 Ebuna Samuele kwendaka na Rama, mpi Saule tombukaka na nzo na yandi na Gibea ya Saule.
35 Samuele monaka diaka ve Saule tii kilumbu yina yandi fwaka, sambu Samuele kwendaka kudila Saule.+ Ebuna Yehowa waka mawa mutindu yandi tulaka Saule ntotila ya Izraele.+
