Context

22Lakini Samweli akajibu: “Je, Bwana anafurahia sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu kama vile kuitii sauti ya Bwana? Kutii ni bora zaidi kuliko dhabihu, nako kusikia ni bora kuliko mafuta ya kondoo dume. 23Kwa maana kuasi ni kama dhambi ya uaguzi, nao ukaidi ni kama uovu wa kuabudu sanamu. Kwa sababu umelikataa neno la Bwana, naye amekukataa wewe kuendelea kuwa mfalme.” 24Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Samweli, “Nimetenda dhambi. Nimevunja amri ya Bwana na maagizo yako. Niliwaogopa watu na kwa hiyo nikafanya walivyotaka. 25Sasa ninakusihi usamehe dhambi yangu, nawe urudi pamoja nami, ili nipate kumwabudu Bwana.” 26Lakini Samweli akamwambia, “Sitarudi pamoja nawe. Umelikataa neno la Bwana, naye Bwana amekukataa wewe, usiendelee kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli!”
