Data Ayobora Sawuli kwa Samweli

Sawuli agiye gushaka indogobe za se zazimiye ntiyazibona, maze umukozi we agira inama yo kubaza umuhanuzi wo muri uwo mujyi. Samweli, uwo Data wa twese yari yamumenyesheje umunsi mbere, ari gutegereza afite igice cy'inyama yabikiye, maze yerekana ko ibyo Isiraheli ikundira byose bishingiye kuri Sawuli ubu.

Igice cya 9.

Hari umugabo w'Umubenyamini witwaga Kishi mwene Abiyeli, wa Zerori, wa Bekorati, wa Afiya, Umubenyamini, umugabo w'umukire kandi w'icyubahiro. Yari afite umuhungu witwaga Sawuli, umusore w'uburanga—nta Mwisiraheli wari umurusha uburanga; yari muremure kurusha abandi bose, abantu bakamugeraho ku bitugu gusa.

Indogobe za Kishi se wa Sawuli zari zazimiye, nuko Kishi abwira umuhungu we Sawuli ati: “Jyana n'umwe mu bakozi mujye gushaka indogobe.” Anyura mu misozi y'Abefurayimu no mu gihugu cya Shalisha, ariko ntibazibona. Banyura no mu gihugu cya Shālimu, ariko indogobe ntizahabonetse. Anyura no mu gihugu cya Benyamini, ariko na ho ntibazibona.

Bageze mu gihugu cya Sufu, Sawuli abwira umukozi bari kumwe ati: “Ngwino dusubire inyuma, kuko data ashobora kuba yaretse guhangayikira indogobe ahubwo akaduhangayikira.”

Ariko umukozi aravuga ati: “Dore muri uyu mujyi hari umuntu wa Data wa twese, umuntu w'icyubahiro cyane; ibyo avuga byose birasohora rwose. Reka tugende none; ahari yadubwira inzira dukwiye gukurikira.”

Sawuli abwira umukozi we ati: “Ariko niba tugiye, umuntu uwo twamuzanira iki? Imigati yo mu mifuka yacu yarangiye, kandi nta mpano dufite yo guha umuntu wa Data wa twese. Mbese dufite iki?”

Umukozi yongera gusubiza Sawuli ati: “Dore mfite igikoroto gito cy'ifeza. Nzagiha umuntu wa Data wa twese kugira ngo adubwire inzira yacu.” (Kera muri Isiraheli, umuntu wese wagiye kugisha inama Data wa twese yavugaga ati: “Reka tujye ku mushishozi,” kuko umuhanuzi w'ubu icyo gihe bamwitaga umushishozi.).

Sawuli aramusubiza ati: “Ni byiza. Reka tugende.” Nuko bajya mu mujyi umuntu wa Data wa twese yarimo. Bazamuka umusozi bajya mu mujyi, bahura n'abakobwa basohoka bajya kuvoma, barababaza bati: “Umushishozi ari hano?”

Baravuga bati: “Ari hano. Ari imbere yanyu gato. Nimwihute, yaje mu mujyi uyu munsi kuko abantu bafite igitambo ku gasongero. Mumaze kwinjira mu mujyi muzamubona atarazamuka ku gasongero ngo arye. Abantu ntibazarya kugeza amaze kuza, kuko ari we ugomba guha umugisha igitambo; ni bwo abatumirwa bazarya. Nimuzamuke none—muzamubona ako kanya.”

Bazamuka bajya mu mujyi. Bamaze kwinjira, Samweli araza abasanganira, azamuka ajya ku gasongero.

Umunsi wabanjirije uwo Sawuli yaje, Data wa twese yari yarabihishuriye Samweli ati:

“Nk'iki gihe ejo nzakoherereza umuntu uturutse mu gihugu cya Benyamini. Uzamusige amavuta abe umutware w'ubwoko bwanjye Isiraheli; azarokora ubwoko bwanjye mu maboko y'Abafilisiti, kuko nabonye ubwoko bwanjye, n'induru yabwo ikangeraho.”

Samweli abonye Sawuli, Data wa twese aramubwira ati: “Uyu ni we muntu nakubwiye; uyu ni we uzayobora ubwoko bwanjye.”

Sawuli yegera Samweli mu irembo ati: “Ndakwinginze umbwire aho inzu y'umushishozi iri.”

Samweli aramusubiza ati: “Ni jye mushishozi. Zamuka imbere yanjye ujye ku gasongero. Uyu munsi uzarya nanjye; mu gitondo nzagusezerera kandi nkubwire ibiri ku mutima wawe byose. Indogobe wabuze mbere y'iminsi itatu zarabonetse, ntuzihangayikire. Kandi ni nde utunze ibyiza byose bya Isiraheli, atari wowe n'inzu ya so yose?”

Sawuli aramusubiza ati: “Mbese sindi Umubenyamini, wo mu muryango muto kuruta iyindi muri Isiraheli, kandi inzu yacu ni yo isuzuguritse mu nzu z'umuryango wa Benyamini? None se kuki umbwira aya magambo?”

Nuko Samweli ajyana Sawuli n'umukozi we mu cyumba kigari, abicaza ku mwanya wa mbere mu batumirwa—bagera ku mirongo itatu. Samweli abwira umutetsi ati: “Zana wa mugabane naguhaye, wa wundi nakubwiye ngo uwubike.” Umutetsi afata itako n'ibyari biriho, abishyira imbere ya Sawuli. Samweli aravuga ati: “Dore ibyari byagubikiwe. Urye, kuko byakubikiwe kugira ngo urye muri iki gihe, kuva igihe natumiye aba bantu.” Nuko Sawuli arya na Samweli uwo munsi.

Bava ku gasongero bamanukira mu mujyi, Samweli avugana na Sawuli ku gisenge. Bazinduka, mu museke Samweli ahamagara Sawuli ku gisenge ati: “Byuka ngusezerere.” Sawuli arabyuka, maze bombi, we na Samweli, basohoka hamwe mu muhanda. Bamanukira ku mpera z'umujyi, Samweli abwira Sawuli ati: “Tuma umukozi akutambukire imbere”—nuko aragenda—“ariko wowe uhagarare gato, kugira ngo nkubwire ijambo rya Data wa twese.”
