Saulo aghangula Abammoni
1Agho kyabazinga Omuammoni eyayetebwanga Nahashi, yaaja yaalumba ekibuga Yabeshi Gileadi, yaakizingiza okukyezunguluza. Abantu ab’e Yabeshi baakoba Nahashi oyo bati: “Kola n’ife endagaano, olwo twidha kukugheerezanga.”
2Aye Nahashi yaabakoba ati: “Ndidha kukola n’imwe endagaano, bwe munaaganha ni ntundulamu eriiso lya buli muntu ery’oku mukono omusaadha, olwo ndeetere Isiraeli yoonayoona okunhoomebwa.”
3Abakulembeze b’e Yabeshi baamweghemba bati: “Tughe ekiseera kya nnaku musanvu, tughange okutuma abakwenda mu Isiraeli mwonamwona. Bwe ghataabeegho atununula, olwo twidha kweghaayo y’oli.”
4Abakwenda bwe baatuuka e Gibea ekya Saulo, baakobera abantu ebibono ebyo. Agho abantu boonaboona baalira inho amaziga. 5Saulo yali ali kuva mu nimiro, ng’akulembeizaamu ente. Agho yaabuuza ati: “Abantu babaire ki, okutuuka okulira amaziga?” Baamukobera ebyo abantu abaava e Yabeshi bye baayogera. 6Saulo bwe yawulira ebibono ebyo, omwoyo gwa Katonda gwamwidhaku n’amaani, obusungu bwe bwatumbuka ng’oti muliro. 7Yaatoola ente ibiri, yaadhitematemamu ebitundu, yaabigha abakwenda babitwale woonawoona mu Isiraeli nga bakoba abantu bati: “Kiisi ataaveeyo kunonereza Saulo ni Samueli, ente dhe baidha kudhitematema batyo.”
Musengwa Katonda yaaleetera abantu okutya, baavaayo boonaboona nga bali kwisa kirala. 8Saulo yaababalira e Bezeki. Abaava mu Isiraeli baali emitwalo amakumi asatu (300,000), ate abaava mu Buyudaaya emitwalo esatu (30,000). 9Agho baakoba abakwenda bale abaidha, bati: “Muje mukobe abantu b’e Yabeshi Gileadi muti, ‘Enkyo endhuba enaaja okutuuka mu kasana ghagati, nga mumaze okununulwa.’ ” Abakwenda bwe baaja ni bakobera abantu b’e Yebeshi batyo, abantu ab’e Yebeshi abo baasangaala! 10Kale abantu b’e Yebeshi abo baakoba Abammoni bati: “Enkyo twidha kweghaayo ye muli mutukole kyonakyona kye mwenda.” 11Agho ku lunaku olwairirira, Saulo yaagabaniamu abantu be mu bikunsu bisatu. Baalumba Abammoni mu kifo ghe baasimba weema dhaibwe, baabaita okutuusa mu kasana ghagati. Abaawonagho baalumuka, nga buli muntu ali ku lulwe aghazira kusigala na mwine.
12Abantu baakoba Samueli bati: “Ni baani abaakoba bati Saulo taidha kutufuga? Baleete tubaite.”
13Aye Saulo yaakoba ati: “Ghazira muntu waire omulala anaitibwa olwaleero, kuba luno n’olunaku Musengwa Katonda lw’anunuliireku Isiraeli.” 14Agho Samueli yaakoba abantu ati: “Mwidhe tuje e Giligali twizeegho obwakyabazinga.” 15Kale boonaboona baaja e Giligali, era nga bali eyo mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda, baalangirira Saulo nga ni kyabazinga. Baagheerayo eyo emisengo egy’ebigheebwayo olw’okutabagana, era Saulo n’abantu boonaboona baasagamba inho nga bali eyo.
