7 Saule a bolaya Baamaleke, ho tloha Havila, ho ya fihla Shure, o mabapa le Egepeta.
8 A tshwara le Agage, morena wa Baamaleke, a sa utlwa, a neela setjhaba sohle anathema ka ho se bolaya ka bohale ba lerumo.
9 Empa Saule le setjhaba ba pholosa Agage, le dinku tse ntle, le dikgomo tse ntle tse nonneng, le dikonyana, le tsohle tse ntle, ba sa rate ho di neela anathema; haele dintho tsohle tse nyatsehang, tse nyenyane, ba di neela anathema.
10 Yaba lentswe la Jehova le tlela Samuele, la re:
11 Ke swabile ha ke beile Saule morena; hobane o mphuraletse, mme ha a phetha mantswe a ka. Moo Samuele a hlomoha, a howeletsa ho Jehova bosiu bohle.
12 Samuele a tsohela hosasa ho ya kopana le Saule; Samuele a tsebiswa, ha thwe: Saule o ile Karmele; bona, o ikemiseditse seemahale sa kgopotso, a ntoo tloha, a feta, a theohela Gilgale.
13 Samuele ha a fihla ho Saule, Saule a re ho yena: Hlohonolofatswa ke Jehova! Ke phethile taelo ya Jehova.
