4 Saul tsɛ ni ɔmɛ nɛ e kane mɛ ngɛ Telaim: A ná ta buli nɛ a nyɛɛɔ nane 200,000, kɛ Yuda nyumuhi 10,000.
5 Saul tsa nɔ kɛ ho Amalek ma a mi ya tɔɔ, nɛ e ya wo ka ngɛ dɔgba a* he.
6 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, Saul de Ken bi ɔmɛ ke: “Nyɛɛ je Amalek bi ɔmɛ a kpɛti, konɛ ma ko kpata nyɛ hɛ mi kɛ piɛɛ a he. Ejakaa nyɛ je suɔmi nɛ se pui kpo kɛ tsɔɔ Israel bi ɔmɛ benɛ a je Egipt kɛ ma a.” Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Ken bi ɔmɛ je Amalek bi ɔmɛ a kpɛti.

10 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa kɛ Samuel tu munyu ke:

12 Benɛ Samuel te si mɔtu mla konɛ e kɛ Saul nɛ ya kpe ɔ, a de Samuel ke: “Saul ho Karmel ya, nɛ e ya ma kaimi nɔ́ ko kɛ ha e he ngɛ lejɛ ɔ. Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e po e he nɛ e kple kɛ ho Gilgal ya.”
13 Nyagbenyagbe ɔ, benɛ Samuel ba Saul ngɔ ɔ, Saul de lɛ ke: “Yehowa nɛ jɔɔ mo. I pee nɔ́ nɛ Yehowa de ɔ.”
14 Se Samuel bi lɛ ke: “Lɛɛ mɛni to kuu lɛ ngɛ pɛe kɛ ngɛ ye tue mi woe, nɛ mɛni nahi lɛ a ngɛ pɛe nɛ i ngɛ nue ɔ?”
15 Kɛkɛ nɛ Saul de ke: “A ngɔ mɛ kɛ je Amalek bi ɔmɛ a ngɔ kɛ ba, ejakaa ni ɔmɛ baa to kuu ɔ kɛ na amɛ a kpɛti ní nɛmɛ nɛ a hi pe kulaa a yi, konɛ a kɛ sã afɔle ha Yehowa o Mawu ɔ; se níhi nɛ piɛ ɔ lɛɛ wa kpata a hɛ mi.”
16 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de Saul ke: “Poo nɔ! Ha nɛ ma de mo nɔ́ nɛ Yehowa de mi nyɔ nɛ ɔ mi.” Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Saul de lɛ ke: “Moo tu munyu!”
17 Samuel tsa nɔ ke: “Be nɛ a pee mo Israel wɛtso ɔmɛ a hɛ mi nyɛɛlɔ, nɛ Yehowa pɔ mo nu kaa matsɛ konɛ o ye Israel nɔ ɔ, anɛ o bui mo nitsɛ o he kaa nɔ nyafii lo?
18 Pee se ɔ, Yehowa tsɔ mo nɛ e de ke, ‘Yaa nɛ o ya kpata Amalek bi yayami peeli ɔmɛ a hɛ mi. O kɛ mɛ nɛ hwu ta kɛ yaa si be nɛ o ma kpata mɛ tsuo a hɛ mi.’
19 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, mɛni he je nɛ o bui Yehowa gbi tue ɔ? Mohu ɔ, o kɛ hɛ tsumi tu fo kɛ ya ha ta yibu ní, nɛ o pee yayami ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi!”
20 Se Saul de Samuel ke: “Tse i bu Yehowa gbi tue! I ya tsɔmi nɛ Yehowa tsɔ mi ɔ, nɛ i ngɔ Agag, Amalek matsɛ ɔ kɛ ba, nɛ i kpata Amalek bi ɔmɛ a hɛ mi.
21 Se ni ɔmɛ ngɔ ta yibu ní ɔmɛ a kpɛti jijɔhi kɛ nahi, níhi nɛ jinɛ e sa nɛ a kpata a hɛ mi ɔ a mi níhi nɛ a hi pe kulaa a, konɛ a kɛ ba sã afɔle ha Yehowa o Mawu ɔ ngɛ Gilgal.”
22 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de ke: “Anɛ Yehowa bua jɔɔ sami afɔlehi kɛ afɔle kpahi a he pe Yehowa gbi tue bumi lo? Hyɛ! Tue bumi hi pe afɔle sami, nɛ munyu numi hi pe agbosuhi a zɔ;
23 ejakaa atuã tsɔmi ji yayami kaa bɔ nɛ klaami ngɛ ɔ nɔuu, nɛ he nɔ womi ngɛ kaa kunya yemi kɛ wɔ jami.* Akɛnɛ o kua Yehowa munyu ɔ he je ɔ, lɛ hu e kua mo kaa matsɛ.”
24 Kɛkɛ nɛ Saul de Samuel ke: “I pee yayami, ejakaa i yi Yehowa fami ɔ kɛ o munyu ɔ nɔ, ejakaa i ye ni ɔmɛ gbeye nɛ i bu nɔ́ nɛ a de ɔ tue.
25 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, amlɔ nɛ ɔ, i kpa mo pɛɛ, ngɔɔ ye he yayami kɛ ke mi, nɛ o kɛ mi nɛ kpale kɛ ho konɛ ma ya kplã si ha Yehowa.”
26 Se Samuel de Saul ke: “I kɛ mo be yae, ejakaa o kua Yehowa munyu ɔ, nɛ Yehowa hu kua mo, o be Israel nɔ matsɛ yee hu.”
27 Benɛ Samuel ngɛ e he plɛe nɛ e maa je ɔ, Saul nu Samuel tade klɔii nɛ kɔni be he ɔ nya, nɛ tade ɔ gba.
28 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de lɛ ke: “Yehowa gba Israel matsɛ yemi ɔ ngɛ o he mwɔnɛ ɔ, nɛ e maa ngɔ kɛ ha nɔ ko nɛ e hi pe mo.
29 Jehanɛ hu ɔ, Israel Hɛminyamitsɛ ɔ be lakpa yee, nɛ e be e juɛmi tsakee,* ejakaa tsa pi nɔmlɔ adesa ji lɛ nɛ e sa kaa e tsake e juɛmi.”*
30 Kɛkɛ nɛ Saul de ke: “I pee yayami. Se i kpa mo pɛɛ, moo wo ye hɛ mi nyami ngɛ ye ma nikɔtɔma amɛ a hɛ mi, kɛ Israel hɛ mi. O kɛ mi nɛ kpale kɛ ho, nɛ ma ya kplã si ha Yehowa o Mawu ɔ.”
31 Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Samuel nyɛɛ Saul se kɛ kpale kɛ ho, nɛ Saul ya kplã si ha Yehowa.
32 Nɛ Samuel de lɛ ke: “Ngɔɔ Agag, Amalek matsɛ ɔ kɛ ba ha mi.” Kɛkɛ nɛ Agag kɛ nane si gblami ya Samuel ngɔ,* ejakaa Agag ngɛ e he dee ke: ‘Ngɛ anɔkuale mi ɔ, gbenɔ he gbeye yemi* ɔ be.’
33 Se Samuel de ke: “Kaa bɔ nɛ o klaate ɔ ha nɛ yi komɛ a bimɛ gbo kɛ je a he ɔ, jã kɛ̃ nɛ ngɛ yihi a kpɛti ɔ, o nyɛ hu maa pee nɔ nɛ e be bi ko bi ko.” Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel poo Agag mi kpɔ nya kpɔ nya ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi ngɛ Gilgal.
34 Jehanɛ ɔ, Samuel ho Rama ya, nɛ Saul kuɔ kɛ ho lɛ nitsɛ e we mi ya ngɛ Saul ma Gibea a mi.
