²⁷ Atakafika ku mathero a mzindawo, Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Muwuzeni mnyamata wanu kuti atsogole, koma inuyo muyime pangʼono kuti ndikuwuzeni mawu ochokera kwa Mulungu.”

10 Ndipo Samueli anatenga botolo la mafuta nathira mafutawo pa mutu wa Sauli ndipo anapsompsona nati, “Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake, Aisraeli. Iwe udzalamulira anthu a Yehova ndiponso udzawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani awo owazungulira. Chizindikiro chakuti Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake ndi ichi: ² Ukachoka pano lero lino, udzakumana ndi amuna awiri kufupi ndi manda a Rakele ku Zeliza mʼmalire mwa dziko la Benjamini ndipo adzakuwuza kuti, ‘Abulu amene munkafunafuna aja apezeka. Ndipo tsopano abambo ako asiya kuganiza za abulu ndipo akudera nkhawa za iwe.’ Iwo akufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzachita chiyani mmene mwana wanga sakuoneka?’ ”

³ “Ndipo udzapyola pamenepo ndi kufika ku mtengo wa thundu wa ku Tabori. Kumeneko udzakumana ndi anthu atatu akupita kukapereka nsembe ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ku Beteli. Mmodzi adzakhala atanyamula ana ambuzi atatu, wina atanyamula malofu atatu a buledi, ndi winayo atanyamula thumba la vinyo. ⁴ Adzakupatsa moni ndi kukupatsa malofu awiri a buledi. Iwe udzalandire bulediyo.

⁵ “Pambuyo pake, udzafike ku Gibeyati-Elohimu, kumene kuli gulu la ankhondo la Afilisti. Pamene ukuyandikira mzindawo, udzakumana ndi gulu la aneneri akutsika kuchokera ku phiri, akuyimba zeze, ngʼoma, zitoliro ndi pangwe, ndiponso akulosera. ⁶ Kenaka Mzimu wa Yehova udzabwera pa iwe ndi mphamvu, ndipo udzayamba kulosera nawo pamodzi. Ndipo udzasinthika kukhala munthu wina. ⁷ Zizindikiro izi zikakachitika, dzachite chilichonse manja ako angathe kuchita, pakuti Mulungu ali nawe.

⁸ “Tsono tsogola kupita ku Giligala. Ine ndidzabwera ndithu kudzapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Koma ukandidikire masiku asanu ndi awiri mpaka ine nditabwera kuti ndidzakuwuze zomwe udzachite.”
