15 ¹Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Atate wathu anandituma kuti ndidzakudzozeni kukhala mfumu ya anthu ake Aisraeli. Tsopano imvani mau a Atate wathu.

²Atate wa makamu akumwamba akuti: ‘Ndakumbukira zimene Amaleki anachitira Aisraeli, mmene anawalimbana nawo pa njira yawo yotuluka ku Igupto. ³Pita, ukakanthe Amaleki, ndipo ukawononge kotheratu zonse zawo. Usawachitire chifundo—ukaphe mwamuna ndi mkazi, mwana ndi khanda, ng'ombe ndi nkhosa, ngamira ndi bulu.’”

⁴Sauli anasonkhanitsa anthu ankhondo, nawawerenga ku Telaimu: asilikali oyenda pansi 200,000, ndi anthu a ku Yuda 10,000. ⁵Sauli anafika ku mzinda wa Amaleki, nabisalira m'chigwa. ⁶Sauli anati kwa Akeni, “Pitani, chokani, dzichotseni pakati pa Aamaleki, kuti ndingakuwononge pamodzi nawo; pakuti munaonetsa kukoma mtima kwa Aisraeli onse pamene ankatuluka ku Igupto.” Ndipo Akeni anachoka pakati pa Aamaleki.

⁷Ndipo Sauli anakantha Aamaleki kuchokera ku Havila mpaka ku Suri, kumene kuli kummawa kwa Igupto. ⁸Anagwira Agagi, mfumu ya Aamaleki, ali moyo, koma anthu ena onse anawawononga kotheratu ndi lupanga. ⁹Koma Sauli ndi anthu ankhondo anamleka Agagi, ndi nkhosa ndi ng'ombe zabwino koposa, zonenepa ndi ana a nkhosa—chilichonse chabwino. Anakana kuziwononga, koma zinthu zonse zonyozeka ndi zopanda phindu anaziwononga kotheratu.

¹⁰Ndipo mau a Atate wathu anafika kwa Samueli, kuti:

¹¹“Ndikumva chisoni chifukwa ndinamuika Sauli kukhala mfumu, pakuti wabwerera m'mbuyo kusiya kunditsata, ndipo sanachite zimene ndinamulamula.” Ndipo Samueli anakwiya, nalirira kwa Atate wathu usiku wonse. ^a a v11 Pamene Atate wathu akunena kuti “akumva chisoni” chifukwa anamuika Sauli kukhala mfumu, sakuvomereza kuti analakwitsa, koma akusonyeza chisoni chenicheni chifukwa cha kusiya kwa Sauli—monga momwe vesi 29 likusonyezera, Iye sasintha maganizo ake monga munthu amachitira.

¹²Samueli anadzuka m'mamawa kuti akakumane ndi Sauli, ndipo anamuuza kuti, “Sauli anapita ku Karimeli, nadzimangira chipilala, kenaka nabwerera, natsikira ku Giligala.”

¹³Samueli anafika kwa Sauli. Sauli anati, “Atate wathu akudalitseni! Ndachita zimene Atate wathu analamula.”

¹⁴Koma Samueli anati, “Nanga kulira kwa nkhosa kumene ndikumva m'makutu mwanga, ndi kukuwa kwa ng'ombe zimene ndikumva, nchiyani?”

¹⁵Sauli anati, “Anazitenga kwa Aamaleki; anthu ankhondo analeka nkhosa ndi ng'ombe zabwino koposa kuti akazipereke nsembe kwa Atate wanu, koma zina zonse anaziwononga kotheratu.”

¹⁶Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Lekani—ndikuuzeni zimene Atate wathu anandiuza usiku watha.” Sauli anati, “Nenani.”

¹⁷Samueli anati, “Ngakhale munali wamng'ono pamaso panu, kodi simunakhale mutu wa mafuko a Isiraeli? Atate wathu anakudzozani kukhala mfumu ya Aisraeli, ¹⁸ndipo Atate wathu anakutumani paulendo, nati, ‘Pita, ukawononge kotheratu anthu ochimwa, Aamaleki; umenyane nawo mpaka uwamalize.’” ¹⁹Nanga chifukwa chiyani simunamvera mau a Atate wathu? Munathamangira zofunkha, ndipo munachita zoipa pamaso pa Atate wathu.

²⁰Sauli anati kwa Samueli, “Ndithu ndinamvera mau a Atate wathu! Ndinapita paulendo umene Atate wathu anandituma, ndinabwera ndi Agagi mfumu ya Amaleki, ndipo Aamaleki ndinawawononga kotheratu. ²¹Koma anthu ankhondo anatenga nkhosa ndi ng'ombe zabwino koposa kuchokera pa zofunkha, zinthu zoyenera kuwonongedwa, kuti akazipereke nsembe kwa Atate wanu ku Giligala.”

²²Samueli anati, “Kodi Atate wathu amakondwera ndi nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zina monga momwe amakondwera ndi kumvera mau a Atate wathu? Kumvera nkwabwino kuposa nsembe, ndipo kutchera khutu nkwabwino kuposa mafuta a nkhosa zazimuna. ²³Pakuti kuwukira kuli ngati tchimo la kuwombeza, ndipo kudzikuza kuli ngati choipa cha kupembedza mafano. Chifukwa mwakana mau a Atate wathu, Iye wakukanani kuti musakhale mfumu.”

²⁴Sauli anati kwa Samueli, “Ndachimwa. Ndaphwanya lamulo la Atate wathu ndi mau anu, chifukwa ndinaopa anthu, nawamvera. ²⁵Tsopano chonde, ndikhululukireni tchimo langa, ndipo mubwerere nane, kuti ndikapembedze Atate wathu.”

²⁶Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Sindibwerera nanu. Mwakana mau a Atate wathu, ndipo Atate wathu wakukanani kuti musakhale mfumu ya Aisraeli.” ²⁷Pamene Samueli anatembenuka kuti apite, Sauli anagwira mpendero wa mkanjo wa Samueli, ndipo unang'ambika. ²⁸Samueli anati kwa iye, “Atate wathu wang'amba ufumu wa Isiraeli kuchoka kwa inu lero, ndipo waupereka kwa mnzanu, amene ndi wabwino kuposa inu. ²⁹Ulemerero wa Isiraeli, Atate wathu, sadzanama kapena kusintha maganizo ake, pakuti Iye si munthu woti asinthe maganizo ake.”

³⁰Sauli anati, “Ndachimwa, koma chonde ndilemekezeni tsopano pamaso pa akulu a anthu anga ndi pamaso pa Aisraeli; mubwerere nane, kuti ndikapembedze Atate wanu.”

³¹Choncho Samueli anabwerera ndi Sauli, ndipo Sauli anapembedza Atate wathu. ³²Ndipo Samueli anati, “Bweretsani Agagi mfumu ya Aamaleki kwa ine.” Agagi anadza kwa iye molimba mtima, akuganiza kuti, “Ndithu ngozi ya imfa yatha.”

³³Samueli anati, “Monga momwe lupanga lako linakhalitsa amayi opanda ana, momwemonso amayi ako adzakhala wopanda ana pakati pa amayi.” Ndipo anamudula Agagi zidutswazidutswa pamaso pa Atate wathu ku Giligala.

³⁴Ndipo Samueli anapita ku Rama, ndipo Sauli anakwera kupita kwawo ku Gibeya wa Sauli. ³⁵Samueli sanamuonenso Sauli mpaka tsiku la imfa yake, koma Samueli anamva chisoni chifukwa cha Sauli. Ndipo Atate wathu anamva chisoni chifukwa anamuika Sauli kukhala mfumu ya Aisraeli.
