1Ke fa Samuele a tsaya kurwana ya lookwane, a lo tshela mo tlhogong ya gagwe, a mo atla a re: “Morena o go tloditse gore o nne moeteledipele wa boswa jwa gagwe. Mme sesupo sa teng ke se: 2Fa o tloga mo go nna kajeno, o tla fitlhela banna ba le babedi fa phupung ya ga Ragele mo nageng ya Benyamene kwa Selesa, ba tla go raya ba re: ‘Diesele tse dinamagadi tse o ileng go di batla, ba di bonye. E bile rraago o setse a tlhokomologile kgang ya diesele, mme o tshwenyegela lona a re: Ke tla dirang gore ke bone morwaake?’ 3E tla re o sena go tloga teng le go etela pele le go fitlha kwa setlhareng sa eike sa Thabore, banna ba le bararo ba go fitlhele teng ba ba tlhatlogelang kwa Modimong kwa Bethele; mongwe a rwele dipotsane di le tharo, yo mongwe a rwele dinkgwe di le tharo, wa boraro a rwele lekuka la weine. 4Ba tla go botsa matsogo, ba go naya dinkgwe di le pedi; o di amogele mo diatleng tsa bone. 5Morago ga moo o tla fitlha kwa thabaneng ya Modimo kwa balebeledi ba puso ya Bafelesita ba leng teng. Mme e tla re o fitlha teng mo motseng, o kgatlhane le setlhopha sa baporofeti, ba fologa mo thabaneng ya tlhabelo, ba eteletswe pele ke baletsi ba harepa le moropana le lotlhaka le lengope, ba ntse ba bua ka mokgwa wa baporofeti. 6Foo mowa wa Morena o tla go tsena, mme o tla itshola jaaka moporofeti nabo, o fetoga monna o sele. 7Mme e re ditshupo tseo di sena go go dirafalela, o dire se se gaufi le seatla sa gago; gonne Modimo o na nao. 8Jaanong nketelele pele, o fologele kwa Gilegala. Le nna ke tla fologa, ke go latela ke tla go fisa ditlhabelo tsa phiso le go tlhaba ditlhabelo tsa tebogo. O ntete malatsi a supa go fitlhelela ke be ke fitlhe kwa go wena, ke go itsise se o tla se dirang.”
9Ya re a hulara go tlogela Samuele, Modimo wa mo fetola pelo, ya nna e sele. Le gona ga dirafala ditshupo tsotlhe tseo ka letsatsi leo. 10E rile ba fitlha teng kwa thabaneng ya Modimo, setlhopha sa baporofeti sa mo kgatlhantsha, mme Mowa wa Modimo wa tsena mo go ene, mme a itshola jaaka moporofeti mo gare ga bone. 11Botlhe ba ba neng ba ntse ba mo itse, ya re ba mmona a duduetsa le baporofeti, ba botsana ba re: “Ke eng se se dirafaletseng morwa Khiše? A Saule le ene ke moporofeti?” 12Ga fetola monna wa teng a re: “Kana rraabo ke mang?” Ke ka moo go simologileng seane se se reng: “A Saule le ene ke moporofeti?” 13Ya re a sena go fetsa go duduetsa, a fitlha kwa Gibea.
14Ke fa rrangwanaagwe Saule a mmotsa le motlhanka wa gagwe a re: “Lo ne lo ile kae?”
A araba a re: “Re ne re ile go batla diesele tse dinamagadi; ya re re di tlhoka, ra ya kwa go Samuele.”
15Mme rrangwanaagwe Saule a re: “A ko o mpolelele tse Samuele o di buileng le lona.”
16Saule a araba rrangwanaagwe a re: “O re itsisitse a re: ‘Diesele tse dinamagadi di bonywe.’ ” Mme a se ka a mmolelela tsa bogosi tse Samuele o di buileng.
Saule o amogelwa ke Baiseraele e le kgosi ya bone
17Jaanong Samuele a biletsa morafe kwa Moreneng kwa Mitsepha, 18a raya Baiseraele a re: “Morena, Modimo wa Iseraele, o bua jaana a re: ‘Ke nna ke ntshitseng Baiseraele kwa Egepeto, ka lo golola mo diatleng tsa Baegepeto le mo diatleng tsa magosi aotlhe a a neng a lo pitlaganya.’ 19Mme lona lo latlhile Modimo wa lona kajeno o o lo thusitseng mo ditlalelong tsotlhe tsa lona le mo dipitlaganyong tsa lona, lwa o raya lwa re: ‘Re tlhomele kgosi!’ Jaanong he, emang fa pele ga Morena ka fa ditsong tsa lona le ka fa diketeng tsa lona!”
20Ya re Samuele a atametsa ditso tsotlhe tsa Iseraele, ga tshwarwa lotso lwa Benyamene. 21Ya re a atametsa lotso lwa Benyamene ka fa ditshikeng tsa lone, ga tshwarwa losika lwa ga Materi; ya re a atametsa losika lwa ga Materi, ga tshwarwa Saule morwa Khiše, mme ya re ba mmatla, a bo a se yo. 22Ke fa ba botsa Morena gape ba re: “A monna yoo o setse a tlile kwano?” Morena a re: “O teng, o iphitlhile kwa dithotong tsa leeto.”
23Ba taboga, ba mo tsaya teng. Ya re a ema mo gare ga morafe, a bo a le moleele, a feta batho botlhe, ba mo khutlela fa legetleng. 24Ke fa Samuele a raya morafe otlhe a re: “A lo a mmona yo Morena o mo tlhophileng? Gonne ga go na ope yo o tshwanang nae mo morafeng otlhe.” Ke fa morafe otlhe o tlhaba mokgosi o re: “A kgosi e phele!”
25Samuele a ba a bolelela morafe tse ba tshwanetseng go di direla kgosi, a di kwala mo lokwalong, a lo boloka fa pele ga Morena. Jaanong Samuele a naya morafe otlhe tsela, mongwe le mongwe a boela kwa lapeng la gagwe. 26Saule le ene a ya kwa lapeng la gagwe kwa Gibea, mme baetleetsi ba mephato ba ya nae, ba Modimo o neng o ba ratisitse jalo. 27Mme banna ba e seng ba sepe ba ne ba re: “Yoo, o tla re thusa eng?” Ba mo nyatsa jalo, ba se ka ba mo tlisetsa mpho, mme a ba tlhokomologa.
