Saoly, Mpanjakan’Israely Voalohane

HENTEO Samoela fa manìly menake amy loha lahilahy io eo. Io ty raha ataon-droze mba hampisehoa fa nofilìn’i Jehovah ho mpanjaka ty olo raike. Nivòla tamin’i Samoela Jehovah mba handrarake menake tan-dohan’i Saoly teo. Menake manitse miavake ro nampiasà tamin’io.

Nieritseritse Saoly fa tsy tokone hatao mpanjaka ie. Hoy ty asane: ‘Baka amy fokon’i Benjamina, foko farane ze kelikele tamy fokon’Israely aho. Ka ino ty antone ivolànanao fa ho mpanjaka aho?’ Tean’i Jehovah Saoly, satria, tsy nieritseritse ty vatane ho anabo ie, ka zay ty antone nifiliànan’i Jehovah aze ho mpanjaka io.

Fe tsy olo nahantra na ambanimbany Saoly. Baka amy fianakavia mpanarivo ie, no sady tovolahy lava bibike. Nihoatse 30 santimetatse ty halavane laha fa ampitovỳ amy lahilahy iaby tamin’Israely teo! Mahalay bibike Saoly, sady matanjake kea. Falifale ty olo laha fa nofilìn’i Jehovah ho mpanjaka Saoly. Niarake nivòla roze hoe: ‘Irìnay ho lava velo lahy mpanjaka io!’

Mbo matanjake biby manahake ty taloha avao ty fahavalon’Israely. Mbo manday fahasahiràna maro ho ahi’ty Israelita avao roze. Vo fotoa kelikele naha-mpanjaka an’i Saoly, le fa niavy hanafike an-droze ty Amonita. Fe namòry tafike matanjake Saoly, ka naharesy Amonita reo roze. Nahavy vahoake reo ho tea an’i Saoly raha zay.

Nandeha ty tao, ka nitarike Israelita reo haharesy ty fahavalon-droze avao Saoly. Nanan’anake lahy nahery fo zay kea Saoly, Jonatana ty anarane. Nanampy ty Israelita handresy tamy aly maro Jonatana. Filistina reo ro fahavalon’Israelita farane ze navàkan-droze biby. Ndraike andro, le nisy Filistina fa ho an’arivo mahery, niavy mba hialy tamin’Israelita reo.

Nivòla tamin’i Saoly Samoela mba handìny aze vo hanao soro na fanomeza ho an’i Jehovah. Samoela ro mahazo manao raha io. Fe mbo tsy niavy Samoela, ka tsy nahalìny sasy Saoly. Navàka ie tsy no ho avy avao ty Filistina, ka hanafike an-droze. Ka le nandeha ie raike, nanao soro iny. Fe laha fa niavy Samoela tamy farane, le nivòla tamin’i Saoly ie, fa tsy nanorike ty safàn’i Jehovah Saoly. Ka hoy ty asane hoe: ‘Hifìly olo hafa mba hatao mpanjakan’Israely Jehovah.’

Mbo tsy nanorike ty safàn’i Jehovah avao Saoly tafara atoy, ka nivòla tamine Samoela hoe: ‘Soa mandilatse ty fanaòva soro aondry farane ze soa, ty fanorìha ty safàn’i Jehovah. Tsy hataon’i Jehovah mpanjakan’Israely sasy iha, satria tsy nanorike ty safàne.’

Misy fianara azontsika baka amy tantara io. Nihita teo fa tokone hanorike ty safàn’i Jehovah avao tsika. Nianarantsika teo kea, fa ty olo soa fanahy manahake an’i Saoly le mety hiova ho olo raty fanahy. Tsy ta ho raty fanahy mihitsy tsika, sa tsy zay?
