1 Samweli 12 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

12 ¹Samwele alonga kuna Izarayeli yonsene kuti: “Ine ndabvera fala yanu mu pyonsene pidandipanga imwe, mbandiikha mambo pa imwe. ²Cincino mambo asafamba patsogolo panu. Ine ndakalamba, misoi yanga yacena; anawanga ali pakati panu. Ndafamba patsogolo panu kutomera uphale wanga mpaka lero. ³Onani, ndiri pano—pterani umboni wakuti ndadawa pamaso pa Baba wathu na pa nyakudzodzwa wace. Ndakwata ng'ombe ya ani? Ndakwata buru wa ani? Ndanyengerera ani? Ndapondera ani? Ndatambira cipaso ca ani toera kutsautsa maso anga? Ndipangeni, ndinakulipani.”

⁴Iwo atawira tenepa: “Imwe nee mwatinyengerera, nee mwatipondera, nee mwakwata cinthu m'manja mwa munthu.”

⁵Iye aapanga: “Baba wathu ndi mboni wa pa imwe, na nyakudzodzwa wace ndi mboni lero, kuti imwe nee mwagumana cinthu m'manja mwanga.” Iwo alonga: “Iye ndi mboni.”

⁶Penepo Samwele apanga mbumba: “Ndi Baba wathu ule adasankhula Mose na Aroni, mbabulusa ambuya anu ku Edjitu. ⁷Cincino imirani, toera ndikutsutseni pamaso pa Baba wathu thangwi ya mabasa onsene akulungama adacita Iye kuna imwe na ambuya anu.”

⁸Yakobe pidapita iye ku Edjitu, ambuya anu alira kuna Baba wathu, ule adatuma Mose na Aroni, mbaabulusa ku Edjitu mbaakhazika pano. ⁹Mbwenye iwo aduwala Baba wathu, natenepo Iye aapereka m'manja mwa Sisera, nkulu wa anyankhondo a ku Hazori, na kuna Afilisti, na kuna mambo wa Moabe, adaamenya nkhondo.

¹⁰Iwo alira kuna Baba wathu: “Ife tadawa; tasiya Baba wathu mbatatumikira Abhaali na Axtarote. Cincino tipulumuseni m'manja mwa anyamalwa athu, ife tinakutumikirani.” ¹¹Natenepo Baba wathu atuma Yerubhaali, Baraki, Yefte, na Samwele, mbakupulumusani m'manja mwa anyamalwa anu akuzungulira, natenepo imwe mwakhala mwa ntendere. ^a a v11 Yerubhaali ndi dzina inango ya Gidyoni, ntongi ule adagwesa guwa ya ntsembe ya Abhaali idakhala ya babace.

¹²Pidaona imwe Nahaxi, mambo wa Amoni, mbakhabwera toera kukumenyani, imwe mwandipanga: “Nkhabe, mambo asafunika kutitonga”—maseze Baba wathu akhali mambo wanu. ¹³Cincino ndi uyu mambo adasankhula imwe mbamuphemba. Onani, Baba wathu aikha mambo pa imwe. ¹⁴Mungagopa Baba wathu, mbamuntumikira na kumbvera, mbamukhonda kupandukira matongero ace, imwe pabodzi na mambo wanu mbamutowera Baba wathu, pyonsene pinakhala mwadidi. ¹⁵Mbwenye mungakhonda kubvera Baba wathu, mbamupandukira matongero ace, djanja ya Baba wathu inakutsutsani imwe, ninga pidacita iyo kuna ambuya anu.

¹⁶Cincino imirani, mbamuona cinthu ici cikulu cinafuna kucita Baba wathu pamaso panu. ¹⁷Kodi lero nee ndi n'dzidzi wakubvuna tirigu? Ine ndinacemera Baba wathu—Iye anatuma kugunda na mvura, toera imwe mudzindikire kuti kuipa kwanu kukhali kukulu tani, pakuphemba mambo toera imwe mwene, pamaso pa Baba wathu. ^b b v17 Mvura nkhabe kugwa kakamwe n'dzidzi wakubvuna tirigu pakutoma kwa cirimo, natenepo kugunda na mvura pidabwera mwadzidzidzi pikhali cidzindikiro cakuonekera pakweca cakubuluka kuna Baba wathu.

¹⁸Samwele acemera Baba wathu; ntsiku ineyi Iye atuma kugunda na mvura, mbumba yonsene yagopa kakamwe Baba wathu na Samwele.

¹⁹Mbumba yonsene yalonga kuna Samwele: “Phembererani Baba wanu thangwi ya atumiki anu, toera ife tikhonde kufa: ife tathimizira kuipa pa madawo athu onsene mukuphemba mambo.”

²⁰Samwele apanga mbumba: “Lekani kugopa. Imwe mwacita kuipa konsene uku - mbwenye lekani kusiya kutowera Baba wathu; muntumikireni na ntima wanu onsene. ²¹Lekani kutsendzekera milungu yauthambi—yakukhonda kuphedza, yakukhonda kupulumusa, thangwi iyo ndi yacabe. ²²Thangwi Baba wathu nkhabe kusiya mbumba yace, thangwi ya dzina yace ikulu. Iye asankhula kukucitani mbumba yace mwene. ²³Inembo, nee ndinadawa kuna Baba wathu mukusiya kukuphembererani imwe; ndinakupfundzisani njira yadidi na yakulungama. ²⁴Basi gopani Baba wathu, muntumikireni mwakukhulupirika na ntima wanu onsene, nyerezerani mabasa ace makulu adacita Iye kuna imwe. ²⁵Mbwenye mungapitiriza kucita kuipa, imwe pabodzi na mambo wanu munafudzwa.”
