Samuel de ne dibea no ma, na obisa sɛ wafa obi nantwi anaa kɛtɛasehyɛ pɛn ana; obiara ntumi mmɔ no sobo. Ɔsan ka sɛnea yɛn Agya gyee wɔn bere biara na Israel werɛ fii no, afei ɔfrɛ aprannaa wɔ awi twabere mu de kyerɛ sɛ ɔhene a wɔsrɛe no yɛ bɔne.
12 1Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israel nyinaa se, “Mate mo nne wɔ biribiara a moka kyerɛɛ me no mu, na mede ɔhene asi mo so. 2Afei ɔhene no di mo anim nantew. Mabɔ akwakoraa, na me ti adan dwen; me mma nso ka mo ho. Madi mo anim anantew fi me mmofraase de bɛsi nnɛ. 3Me ni—monni adanse ntia me wɔ yɛn Agya ne nea wasra no ngo no anim. Hena nantwi na magye? Hena afurum na magye? Hena na madaadaa no? Hena na mahyɛ no so? Hena nsa mu na magye kawa de afura mʼani? Monka nkyerɛ me, na mɛsan de ama mo.”
4Wɔkae se, “Wonnaadaa yɛn, wonhyɛɛ yɛn so, na wonnye biribiara mfii obiara nsa mu.”
5Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yɛn Agya di adanse tia mo, na nea wasra no ngo no nso di adanse nnɛ, sɛ moanhu biribiara wɔ me nsa mu.” Wɔkae se, “Ɔno ne ɔdansefo.”
6Afei Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Yɛn Agya na ɔyii Mose ne Aaron, na ɔde mo agyanom fii Misraim bae. 7Afei monnyina hɔ, na menka me asɛm ntia mo wɔ yɛn Agya anim—nneyɛe atreneetrenee a wayɛ ama mo ne mo agyanom no nyinaa.”
8Bere a Yakob kɔɔ Misraim no, mo agyanom su frɛɛ yɛn Agya, na ɔsomaa Mose ne Aaron, ma wɔde wɔn fii Misraim, na wɔma wɔtenaa ha. 9Nanso wɔn werɛ fii yɛn Agya, enti ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Sisera a ɔyɛ Hasor asraafo sahene no nsa, ne Filistifo nsa, ne Moab hene nsa, na wɔne wɔn koe.
10Wɔsu frɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “Yɛayɛ bɔne; yɛagyaw yɛn Agya, na yɛasom Baal ne Astarot ahoni. Afei gye yɛn fi yɛn atamfo nsa mu, na yɛbɛsom wo.” 11Enti yɛn Agya somaa Yerubaal, Barak, Yefta ne Samuel, na ogyee mo fii mo atamfo a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no nsa mu, enti motenaa ase asomdwoe mu. a a v11 Yerubaal yɛ Gideon din foforo; ɔno ne otemmufo a ɔbubuu nʼagya afɔremuka a ɔde maa Baal no.
12Bere a muhuu sɛ Amon hene Nahas reba abɛko atia mo no, moka kyerɛɛ me se, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene di yɛn so”—nanso na yɛn Agya ne mo hene. 13Afei ɔhene a mopaw no na mobisaa no no ni. Hwɛ, yɛn Agya de ɔhene asi mo so. 14Sɛ musuro yɛn Agya, na mosom no, na moyɛ nʼasɛm so, na moantew antia nʼahyɛde, na mo ne mo hene no nyinaa di yɛn Agya akyi a, ebeyɛ yiye ama mo. 15Nanso sɛ moanyɛ yɛn Agya asɛm so, na motew tia nʼahyɛde a, yɛn Agya nsa bɛko atia mo, sɛnea ɛkoo tiaa mo agyanom no.
16Afei monnyina hɔ dinn na monhwɛ ade kɛse yi a yɛn Agya rebɛyɛ wɔ mo anim yi. 17Ɛnyɛ awi twabere ne nnɛ? Mɛfrɛ yɛn Agya—ɔbɛma aprannaa abobɔ na osu atɔ, na moahu sɛ bɔne a moyɛe sɛ mobisaa ɔhene maa mo ho no yɛ kɛse wɔ yɛn Agya ani so. b b v17 Osu ntaa ntɔ wɔ awi twabere mu wɔ ahohuru bere mfiase, enti aprannaa ne osu a ɛbaa mpofirim no yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne a efi yɛn Agya hɔ ampa.
18Samuel su frɛɛ yɛn Agya; da no ara ɔmaa aprannaa bobɔe na osu tɔe, na nnipa no nyinaa suroo yɛn Agya ne Samuel yiye.
19Nnipa no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Bɔ wʼAgya mpae ma wo nkoa, na yɛanwuwu, efisɛ yɛde bɔne aka yɛn bɔne nyinaa ho, sɛ yɛabisa ɔhene.”
20Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Munnsuro. Moayɛ bɔne yi nyinaa—nanso mommfi yɛn Agya akyi; momfa mo koma nyinaa nsom no. 21Monnnan mo ho nkɔ ahoni hunu a wontumi mmoa, na wontumi nnye nkwa no nkyɛn, efisɛ wɔyɛ hunu. 22Efisɛ yɛn Agya rennyaw ne nkurɔfo, ne din kɛse no nti. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde mo yɛ ne nkurɔfo. 23Me nso, minnyɛ bɔne ntia yɛn Agya da sɛ mɛgyae mpaebɔ ama mo; mɛkyerɛ mo ɔkwan pa a ɛtene. 24Nanso munsuro yɛn Agya, na momfa nokware ne mo koma nyinaa nsom no, na monnwene nneɛma akɛse a wayɛ ama mo no ho. 25Nanso sɛ mokɔ so yɛ bɔne a, wɔbɛpra mo ne mo hene nyinaa akɔ.”
