17 Samuele a re: “A ga ke re, o tlhogo ya ditso tsa Iseraele le fa o ikaya yo mmotlana. KanaMorenao go tloditse gore o nne kgosi ya Iseraele.

18 Le gonaMorenao go romile a re: ‘Ya o dirafatse khutso ya Modimo mo baleofing bale mo go Baamaleke, o tlhabana nabo go tsamaya o ba fedise.’

19 Jaanong ke ka ntlha ya eng fa o sa utlwa lentswe laMorena, mme wa phomegela mo thopong, wa dira tse di bosula mo matlhong aMorena?”

20 Ke fa Saule a fetola Samuele a re: “Kana ke utlwile lentswe laMorena, ka tsena tseleng eMorenao nthomileng mo go yona, ka tlisa Agage kgosi ya Baamaleke, mme Baamaleke bone ka ba bolaela ruri ka khutso ya Modimo.

21 Fela banna ba tsere dinku le dikgomo tsa thopo, e bong tse dintle tsa tse di hutsitsweng ke Modimo go di tlhabelaMorenaModimo wa gago mono Gilegala.”

22 Mme Samuele a re: “A ditlhabelo tsa phiso le tse di jewang di kgatlhaMorenajaaka go utlwa lentswe laMorena? Nnyaya go utlwa go gaisa setlhabelo; go reetsa go phala mafura a diphelehu!

23 Gonne go sa utlweng ke boleo jwa boloi; go ganetsa ke go ikepela medimong e sele. E re ka o latlhile Lefoko laMorenale ene o go latlhile gore o se tlhole o nna kgosi.”

24 Ke fa Saule a raya Samuele a re: “Ke leofile, gonne ke tlodile taolo yaMorenale mafoko a gago; ka gonne ke boifile batho, ka utlwa mantswe a bone.

25 Mme jaanong a ko o itshwarele boleo jwa me, o boe le nna gore ke obameleMorena.”

26 Mme Samuele a fetola Saule a re: “Ga nkitla ke boa nao. E re ka o nyaditse Lefoko laMorenaleMorenao go latlhile gore o se tlhole o nna kgosi ya Iseraele.”

27 Ya re Samuele a retologa a re o a tsamaya Saule a tshwara moja wa kobo ya gagwe, mme ya gagoga.

28 Ke fa Samuele a mo raya a re: “Morenao gagotse bogosi jwa Iseraele mo go wena kajeno, a bo neela yo mongwe yo o siameng bogolo go wena.

29 Le gona ene yo e leng tumiso ya Iseraele ga a ake, le e seng go ikwatlhaya; gonne ene ga se motho mo a ka ikwatlhayang.”

30 Jaanong Saule a re: “Ke leofile, mme a ko o ntlotle jaanong fa pele ga bagolo ba morafe wa me le fa pele ga Baiseraele, o boe le nna gore ke obameleMorena, Modimo wa gago.”

31 Ke fa Samuele a boa a sala Saule morago, mme Saule a obamelaMorena.

32 Ya baa gona Samuele a reng: “Tlisang Agage kgosi ya Baamaleke kwano go nna.” Agage a ya kwa go ene a thabile. Agage a re: “Ruri, bogalaka jwa loso bo tlogile.”

33 Mme Samuele a re: “Mmaago o tla amogwa ngwana mo basading jaaka tšhaka ya gago e amogile basadi bana.” Jaanong Samuele a remaganya Agage fa pele gaMorenakwa Gilegala.

34 Jaanong Samuele a ya kwa Rama; Saule ene a tlhatlogela kwa lapeng la gagwe, kwa Gibea-wa-ga-Saule.

35 Samuele a se ka a tlhola a bona Saule go ya letsatsing la loso lwa gagwe ka Samuele a hutsafalela Saule.Morenaa utlwa botlhoko fa a dirile Saule kgosi ya Iseraele.
