1Samueri akati kuna Sauro, “Ndini ndakatumwa naJehovha kuti ndizokuzodza kuti uve mambo pamusoro pavanhu vake ivo vaIsraeri; saka teerera zvino kushoko rinobva kuna Jehovha. 2Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: ‘Ndicharanga vaAmareki nokuda kwezvavakaita kuvaIsraeri pavakavadzivirira panzira panguva yavakabuda kubva kuIjipiti. 3Zvino chienda undorwisa vaAmareki uye uparadze zvachose zvinhu zvavo zvose. Usavarega vari vapenyu uuraye varume navakadzi, vana navacheche, mombe namakwai, ngamera nembongoro.’ ”

4Saka Sauro akadana vanhu akavaverenga paTeraimi, zviuru mazana maviri zvavarwi vetsoka uye varume vaibva kuJudha zviuru gumi. 5Sauro akaenda kuguta ravaAmareki akavavandira ari mumupata. 6Ipapo akati kuvaKeni, “Endai, ibvai kuvaAmareki kuti ndirege kukuparadzai pamwe chete navo; nokuti makaita mwoyo munyoro kuvaIsraeri vose panguva yavakabuda muIjipiti.” Naizvozvo vaKeni vakabva pakati pavaAmareki.

7Ipapo Sauro akarwisa vaAmareki kubva paHavhira kusvikira kuShuri, kumabvazuva kweIjipiti. 8Akabata Agagi mambo wavaAmareki ari mupenyu, uye akaparadza chose vanhu vake vose nomunondo. 9Asi Sauro nehondo yake vakarega Agagi namakwai akanakisisa nemombe, mhuru dzakakora uye namakwayana, zvakanga zvakanaka zvose. Izvi havana kuda kuzviparadza zvachose, asi zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvichizvidzikana uye zvisina simba ndizvo zvavakaparadza zvachose.

10Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Samueri richiti, 11“Ndinozvidemba kuti ndakagadza Sauro kuti ave mambo, nokuti akatsauka kubva kwandiri uye haana kuita zvandakamurayira.” Samueri akatambudzika, akachema kuna Jehovha usiku hwose.

12Samueri akamuka mangwanani-ngwanani akaenda kuti andosangana naSauro, asi akaudzwa kuti, “Sauro aenda kuKarimeri. Ikoko azvivakira shongwe yokuzviremekedza, abvako akadzika kuGirigari.”

13Samueri akati asvika kwaari, Sauro akati, “Jehovha ngaakuropafadzei! Ndakaita zvandakarayirwa naJehovha.”

14Asi Samueri akati, “Ko, zvino kuchema uku kwamakwai munzeve dzangu ndokwei? Kukuma kwemombe kwandinonzwa uku chiiko?”

15Sauro akapindura akati, “Varwi vakabva nazvo kuvaAmareki; vakasiya makwai akanakisisa nemombe kuti vabayire kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu, asi zvimwe zvose takazviparadza chose.”

16Samueri akati kuna Sauro, “Mira! Rega ndikutaurire zvandakaudzwa naJehovha nezuro usiku.”

Sauro akati, “Ndiudzei.”

17Samueri akati, “Kunyange wakanga uri muduku pakufunga kwako kare, ko, hauna kuitwa mukuru wamarudzi avaIsraeri here? Jehovha akakuzodza kuti uve mambo wavaIsraeri. 18Uye akakutuma parwendo, achiti, ‘Enda undoparadza zvachose vanhu vose vakaipa, ivo vaAmareki; uvarwise kusvikira vapera.’ 19Seiko usina kuteerera Jehovha? Wakamhanyirireiko kune zvakapambwa uchiita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha?”

20Sauro akati, “Asi ndakateerera Jehovha. Ndakaenda parwendo rwandakatumwa naJehovha. Ndakaparadza vaAmareki zvachose ndikauya naAgagi mambo wavo. 21Varwi vakatora makwai nemombe zvakabva pane zvakapambwa, izvo zvakanakisisa zvavakatsaurira Mwari, kuitira kuti vagozvibayira kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu paGirigari.”

22Asi Samueri akapindura akati,

“Ko, Jehovha angafarira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro
sezvaanofarira kuteererwa kwenzwi raJehovha here?
Kuteerera kunokunda chibayiro,
uye kuteerera kunokunda mafuta amakondobwe.
23Nokuti kumukira kwakafanana nechivi chokuvuka,
uye kusindimara kwakafanana nechivi chokunamata zvifananidzo.
Nemhaka yokuti wakaramba shoko raJehovha,
naiye akuramba kuti usaramba uri mambo.”
24Ipapo Sauro akati kuna Samueri, “Ndatadza, ndamukira murayiro waJehovha nezvamakandirayira. Ndakanga ndichitya vanhu nokudaro ndakateerera mashoko avo. 25Zvino ndinokukumbirisai, ndikanganwirei chivi changu mugodzoka neni, kuti ndigononamata Jehovha.”

26Asi Samueri akati kwaari, “Handingadzoki newe. Wakaramba shoko raJehovha, saka Jehovha akuramba kuti uve mambo wavaIsraeri!”

27Samueri akati atendeuka kuti abve, Sauro akabata mupendero wenguo yake, ukabvaruka. 28Samueri akati kwaari, “Jehovha abvarura umambo hweIsraeri kubva kwauri nhasi uye ahupa kuno mumwe wavavakidzani vako, kuna iye ari nani panewe. 29Iye Kubwinya kwaIsraeri haangarevi nhema kana kushandura pfungwa dzake; nokuti haasi munhu, kuti angashandura pfungwa dzake.”

30Sauro akati, “Ndatadza hangu. Asi ndapota ndikudzei henyu pamberi pavakuru vavanhu vangu napamberi pavaIsraeri; dzokai neni kuitira kuti ndigononamata Jehovha Mwari wenyu.” 31Saka Samueri akadzokera naSauro, ipapo Sauro akanamata Jehovha.

32Zvino Samueri akati, “Uyai naAgagi mambo wavaAmareki kwandiri.”

Agagi akauya kwaari akanyatsofara, achifunga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo kuvava kworufu kwapfuura.”

33Asi Samueri akati,

“Munondo wako sezvo wakaita kuti vakadzi vashaye vana,
saizvozvo mai vako vachashayiwa mwana pakati pavakadzi.”
Zvino Samueri akauraya Agagi pamberi paJehovha paGirigari.

34Ipapo Samueri akabva akaenda kuRama, asi Sauro akakwidza akaenda kumba kwake paGibhea raSauro. 35Kusvikira pazuva rakafa Samueri, haana kuzomboenda kundoona Sauro, kunyange Samueri akamuchema hake. Uye Jehovha akazvidemba kuti akanga aita kuti Sauro ave mambo wavaIsraeri.
