Ami mba kurupa nu mba hara ozonḓi, novazandu vandje owo mbo puna eṋe. Ami mbe mu hongorera okuza koumutanda wandje nga ku ndinondi. 3 Owami ngwi. Ndji hongononeye komurungu wa Muhona na komurungu womutwirisiwa we: Tji mba kambura ongombe yomundu worive poo okasino ke poo tji mba ṋiṋikiza nokutatumisa omundu poo tji mba kambura otjimariva tjombopero, me vi yarura ku eṋe.”
4 Notjiwaṋa tja zira nai: “Ove ko tu ṋiṋikizire, nu ko tu tatumisire, nu ko kamburire otjiṋa komundu.”
5 Samuel otja zira a tja: “Muhona nombara ndja toorora, ombe ri ovahongonone ndinondi kutja eṋe mwe ndji munu omuhinandjo oparukaze.”
Nowo va ravaera ave tja: “Muhona onguri omuhongonone wetu.”
6 Norukwao Samuel wa hungira kotjiwaṋa a tja: “Muhona onguri omuhongonone; eye ongwa toorora ooMoses na Aron nongwa tjindisa ooiho mukururume mehi ra Engipte. 7 Nambano kurameye mbo pu mu ri kutja ami mbi mu pangure komurungu wa Muhona mena rozondjito zouwa azehe Muhona nḓa tjita ku eṋe na kooiho mukururume. 8 Jakob neṱunḓu re tji ve yere kOengipte nOvaengipte tji ve ve tatumisire, ooiho mukururume va kwa ombatero ku Muhona, neye wa hinda ooMoses na Aron mbe ve tjindisa mOengipte nokuveturisa mehi ndi. 9 Nungwari owo va zemba Muhona, Ndjambi wawo; neye otje ve yandja mouvara wa Sisera, omuhongore wotjimbumba tja Hasor tjovita, na mouvara wOvafilisti nowombara yOvamoab mbe ve rwisa nave ve havere. 10 Nowo va kwa ombatero ku Muhona ave tja: ‘Twa tura ondjo tjinga atwa humburuka na ove, Muhona, natu karere oomukuru vovisenginina ooBaal na Astarte. Tu yama nambano kovanavita na eṱe, otji matu Ku karere!’ 11 Nu Muhona wa hinda Jerubbaal na Barak na Jefta na ami, Samuel, mbu twe mu yama kovanavita na eṋe mbe mu kondoroka kutja mu ture nokuhinatjipo. 12 Nungwari tji mwa muna kutja Nahas, ombara yOvaamoni, me mu rwisa, otji mwa tja nai ku ami: ‘Ayee, matu vanga ombara!’ Ingwi Muhona, Ndjambi weṋu, ngunda e ri ombara yeṋu.”
13 “Nambano tareye ombara ndji mwa toorora, nu ndji mwa ningira, oyo ndji, Muhona we mu pe. 14 Avihe mavi kara nawa ku eṋe tji mamu tira Muhona, Ndjambi weṋu, nokumukarera, nokuzuva ku ye nokuṱakamisa omarakiza we, neṋe nombara yeṋu tji mamu ryanga mozondjira ze. 15 Nungwari tji mu hi nakupuratena keraka ra Muhona nu tji mu hi nokuṱakamisa omarakiza we, eye ma pirukire eṋe nombara yeṋu. 16 Nambano kurameye mbo pu mu ri, neṋe mamu munu otjiṋa otjinene Muhona tji ma tjiti. 17 Indwi kandu ri oruveze rwomakondero wovikokotwa are? Ami me kumbu ku Muhona kutja eye a ete otuṱuṱumo nombura. Notji mamu tjiwa nokumuna kutja ouvi mbu mwa tjita komurungu wa Muhona owo ounene, indu tji mwa ningira okupewa ombara.”
18 Samuel otja kumba ku Muhona, nu meyuva tjingero ndo Muhona wa hinda otuṱuṱumo nombura; notjiwaṋa atjihe tja tira Muhona na Samuel tjinene. 19 Notjiwaṋa atjihe arire tji tja tja ku Samuel: “Kumbira ovakarere voye, ku Muhona, Ndjambi woye, kutja atu ha ṱu, eṱe tjinga atwa weza ouvi komauvi wetu aehe ngu twa tjita, indu tji twa ningira ombara.”
20 Nu Samuel wa zira a tja: “Amu tira! Eṋe mwa tjita omauvi nga aehe; nungwari nambano amu humburuka na Muhona, nu mu karereye nomitima vyeṋu avihe. 21 Amu hondjo koomukuru vovisenginina. Owo kave nakumuvatera nokumuyama, tjinga ave he ri ovatjiri. 22 Muhona kamaa imbirahi otjiwaṋa tje mena rena re enene, tjinga apa tjata ku ye okumutjita otjiwaṋa tje. 23 Ami wina himee isa okukumbira eṋe kutja e ha tura ondjo komurungu wa Muhona, nungwari ami me vanga okumuhonga ondjira ombwa nosemba. 24 Tireye Muhona nu mu mu karere nouṱakame nomitima vyeṋu avihe. Zemburukeye oviṋa ovinene eye mbye mu tjitira. 25 Nungwari tji mamu tjiti ouvi komeho, eṋe oveni nombara yeṋu mamu yandekwa.”
Samuel ta lekelafana novanhu
1 Opo nee Samuel ta ti kOvaisraeli aveshe: “Taleni, ame nde mu uda mwaashishe mwe shi lombwela nge, ndele nde mu pa ohamba tai mu pangele. 2 Ndele taleni, paife ohamba otai ke mu pitila komesho. Ndele ame nda kulupa nda ninga eenghwakutoka, novana vange ovamati ve li apa punye. Ndele ame onde mu pitila komesho okudja kounyasha wange fiyo onena eli. 3 Aame ou. Hokololifei nge koshipala shOmwene nokoshipala shomuvaekwa waye. Olyelye nde mu kufa ongobe, nolyelye nde mu kufa ondongi? Olyelye nde mu fininika ile nde mu hepeka? Ndele okulyelye nda tambula ombubo i twikife omesho ange omolwayo, opo nee ame handi ke shi shunifa kunye?” 4 Ndele va nyamukula: “Ove ino tu fininika ile u tu hepeke. Ndele ino kufa sha nande shomunhu.” 5 Opo nee ye te va lombwele: “Omwene Oye ondobwedi yange kunye; nomuvaekwa waye yo ondobwedi paife nokutya, inamu mona sha momake ange.” Ndee tava ti: “Heeno, ye ondobwedi.” 6 Samuel okwa lombwela vali ovanhu ndee ta ti: “Ondobwedi Oye Omwene ou a ifana Moses naAron, ndele a pitifa mo ooxo medu laEgipiti. 7 Eheneni hano oku paife, opo ndi shiive oku mu hokololifa koshipala shOmwene omolwoilonga youyuki aishe yOmwene, oyo e i mu ningila nye vene nooxo. 8 Jakob eshi e uya kuEgipiti nOvaegipiti ove va hepeka, ooxo eshi va kuwa kOmwene, Omwene okwa tuma Moses naAron. Ndele vo ova pitifa mo ooxo muEgipiti ndele e mu nangeka monhele ei. 9 Ndelenee vo ova dimbwa Omwene Kalunga kavo. Onghee hano Ye e va landifa po momake aSisera ondjai yaHasor, nomomake Ovafilisti nomomake ohamba yaMoab, ava ve va lwifa. 10 Opo nee va kuwa kOmwene ndee tava ti: ‘Fye otwa nyona, osheshi twe liteeka Omwene, ndele twa longela ooBaal nooAstarot. Ndelenee tu xupifa mo paife momake ovatondadi vetu, opo nee hatu ke ku longela.’ 11 NOmwene okwa tuma Jerubbaal naBarak naJefta naSamuel, ndele okwe mu xupifa mo movatondadi veni ve mu dingilila, opo mwa shiiva okukala netulumuko.
12 Ndelenee nye eshi mwa mona nokutya Nahas, ohamba yovana vaAmmoni, tai mu homona, nye mwa lombwela nge: ‘Ahowe, ohamba nai tu pangele, nande Omwene Kalunga keni, Ye ohamba yeni.’ 13 Ohamba omwe i hoolola, mwe i hala, oyei hano, ndele taleni, Omwene e mu pa ohamba. 14 Nye ngeenge tamu tila Omwene aeke, ndee tamu mu longele nokupwilikina ondaka yaye, ndele ihamu anye omhango yOmwene, ndele nye vene nohamba ei tai mu pangele, tamu shikula Omwene Kalunga keni aeke. 15 Ndelenee ngeenge nye itamu pwilikine ondaka yOmwene, ndele tamu anye omhango yOmwene opo nee eke lOmwene tali ke mu kondjifa ngaashi eehamba deni.
16 “Eheneni hano oku, mu tale oshilonga osho shinene, Omwene te shi ningi moipafi yeni. 17 Paife ndishi efimbo leteyo? Ame ohandi ka indila kOmwene, a ngungumife ndele a lokife odula, opo mu shiive mu mone hano ounene wowii weni ou fike peni momesho Omwene, nye eshi mwe lihalela ohamba.” 18 Opo nee Samuel okwa indila kOmwene, nOmwene okwa ngungumifa ndele a lokifa odula efiku tuu olo, onghee hano ovanhu aveshe va tila unene Omwene naSamuel. 19 Onghee hano ovanhu aveshe va lombwela Samuel: Indila kOmwene Kalunga koye molwovapiya voye tuha fye, shaashi komanyonauno aeshe etu twa weda ko vali owii ou eshi twe lihalela ohamba. 20 Opo nee Samuel ta ti kovanhu: “Inamu tila. Nye omwa ninga owii aushe ou. Ndelenee inamu kanduka po pOmwene, ndele longeleni Omwene nomutima weni aushe. 21 Ndele inamu kanduka po, mu shikule oikalunga yongaho, yo ihai dulu okukwafa nokuxupifa, shaashi yo oinima yongaho. 22 Osheshi Omwene omolwedina laye linene ina hala okweekelashi ovanhu vaye, osheshi Omwene a hala oku mu ninga oshiwana shaye mwene. 23 Naame yo nashi kale nge kokule ndi nyone kOmwene ndi efe ngeno oku mu ilikanena. Ndelenee ame ohandi ke mu longa ouwa nondjila ya yuka. 24 Tileni ashike Omwene noku mu longela noudiinini nomutima weni aushe. Osheshi taleni oinima inene i fike peni Ye e mu ningila. 25 Ndelenee ngeenge tamu ningi eshi inashi yuka, nye vene nohamba yeni, tamu ka nyonwa po.”
