16 Ungi mususa Samishonyi bayile ku Gaza aye nkumona kuanka ndumba, na nkutuela muadi. 2 Abalunguile bena Gaza’shi: “Samishonyi mmufikie pano.” Biabia babamuifunyishe na abo nkumubelamina munda mua bufuku bushima ku kibelo kia kibundi. Abo nkushala baumine bufuku bushima, beakuilanga’shi: “P’abutooko, atumuipaa.”

3 Anka Samishonyi bashele mulaale nka paapa mpa na munkatshi’abufuku. Akupu babuukile munkatshi’abufuku na akuata ku biibi bia kibelo kia kibundi na ku ntempa ibidi na aye nkuibishimuna pamune na kibao. Aye nkuibituula pa mapampa aaye na nkuibituala ku nsongo kua muengie witalene na Ebrone.

4 Kunyima kua biabia aye nkufula ungi muana mukashi a Muibanda* dia Soreke baadi n’eshina bu Dalila. 5 Biabia ba nfumu ba bena Filistine babafikile kuadi na bamulungula’shi: “Mudimbe* na oukie akimupaa bukome bui bungi biabia, na biatudi balombene kumukambila, kumuanya mioshi na kumubatshika. Su bokitshi biabia oso a kuatudi akupa makuta 1 100 a kiamo kia arja.”

6 Kunyima Dalila nkulungula Samishonyi’shi: “Ndungule namu akufiki bukome bobe bui bungi bino na nkinyi akitungu kufubisha bua kukuanya na kukubatshika.” 7 Samishonyi nkumulungula’shi: “Su banganya na mioshi* ibishi musambobidi ya buta yabashabandile kuumisha, nabofula nekale nka bu muntu oso.” 8 Nyi ba nfumu ba bena Filistine nkumutuadila mioshi musambobidi iki ibishi ya buta yabashabandile kuumisha na aye nkumuanya nayo. 9 Abo nkubelama mu kadimbo ka munda, na aye nkumuitanyina’shi: “Samishonyi, bena Filistine biabadi’bi!” Biabia aye nkutshiba mioshi ya buta kushi lukalakashi, nka bu abitshibikaa buanda bua lin pabukumu kaalo. Tababaadi baukie akufiki bukome buaye nya.

10 Akupu Dalila nkulungula Samishonyi’shi: “Tala! Bonsengie* na bondimbi. Binobino ndungule namu, nkinyi kiabadi balombene kufubisha bua kukuanya.” 11 Biabia aye nkumulungula’shi: “Su banganya na mioshi ipia yabashafubishe, nabofula nekale nka bu muntu oso.” 12 Biabia Dalila nkuata mioshi ipia, nkumuanya nayo na nkuela musaase’shi: “Samishonyi, bena Filistine biabadi’bi! (Yaaya nsaa yoso abaadi babelame mu kadimbo ka munda.) Nyi aye nkutshiba yaaya mioshi ku maboko kuaye nka bu buanda.

13 Kunyima Dalila nkulungula Samishonyi’shi: “Mpa na binobino bonsengie na bondimbi. Ndungule kiabadi balombene kufubisha bua kukuanya.” Nyi aye nkumulungula’shi: “Nka su buanya bipaaba bia nyene musambobidi bia ku mutue wande na buanda buabaluka nabo bilamba.” 14 Biabia aye nkuibikuatshisha na mutshi na nkumuitanyina’shi: “Samishonyi, bena Filistine biabadi’bi!” Nyi aye nkubuuka mu tulo na nkutukula wawa mutshi na buanda bua kuluka nabo bilamba.

15 Binobino Dalila nkumulungula’shi: “We kuakula naminyi’shi, we mmunfule, p’ekale eshimba diobe tadi kuandi? Bonsengie ino misusa isatu na tue mundungule akutuukila bukome bobe bui bungi bino.” 16 Pa muanda efuku dioso baadi nka amuele tuleo na kumukalakasha, bibaadi* bimutonde pepi na kufua. 17 Nfudiilo a bioso aye nkumufunguila eshimba diaye, nkuakula’shi: “Kasha kabuembe takabandile kukuma ku mutue wande, muanda ne Munazi a Efile Mukulu kubanga ku butandua.* Su bankuula kapueto, bukome buande abunkatuka na nabofula nfikie nka bu bangi bantu boso.”

18 Pabamuene Dalila’shi bamufunguila eshimba diaye, mususa umune bayitanyishe ba nfumu ba bena Filistine, akula’shi: “Fikayi uno mususa, muanda banfunguila eshimba diaye.” Biabia ba nfumu ba bena Filistine nkufika kuadi na makuta. 19 Aye nkumuladisha tulo pa makunungu aaye; akupu aye nkuitanyina muntu bua kumukuula bipaaba bia nyene musambobidi bi ku mutue waye. Akupu babangile kumumuna, muanda bukome buaye bubaadi abumukatuka. 20 Binobino aye nkuela musaase’shi: “Samishonyi, bena Filistine biabadi’bi!” Aye nkubuuka ku tulo na nkuakula’shi: “Natuuku nka bu ingi misusa na nefungule.” Anka tabaadi auku’shi Yehowa taki naye dingi. 21 Biabia bena Filistine nkumukuata na nkumutonkola meso. Akupu abo nkuenda naye ku Gaza na nkumuanya nkano ibidi ya kiamo kia munyinga,* na aye nkufika muntu apelaa ntete mu lukano. 22 Anka nyene ya ku mutue waye ibabangile dingi kumena kunyima kua’bo kumukuula yanka.

23 Ba nfumu ba bena Filistine abebungile pamune bua kulambula efile aabo Dagone mulambu ukata na bua kukita musangelo, muanda abaadi abakula’shi: “efile eetu batuulu Samishonyi muishikuanyi eetu mu maasa eetu!” 24 Pabaadi bantu bamumone, babaadi batumbishe efile aabo na bakula’shi: “efile eetu batuulu muishikuanyi eetu mu maasa eetu, yawa muluishe nsenga yetu na muipee bebungi ba kuatudi.”

25 Pa muanda wa muloo ubaabadi nao ku mashimba, abakuile’shi: “Itaminayi Samishonyi bua’shi etusepeshe.” Biabia abo nkumutuusha mu lukano bua’shi ebasepeshe; abo nkumuimika pankatshi pa misungo. 26 Akupu Samishonyi nkulungula nsongualume baadi mumukuate kuiyasa’shi: “Nkumishe namu ku misungo ikuate nshibo, bua’shi nyeeme kuanka.” 27 (Aku namu, mu nshibo mubaadi muule bana balume na bana bakashi. Ba nfumu boso ba bena Filistine babaadi muanka, na kuiyilu kua nshibo kubaadi bana balume na bana bakashi bafikie ku 3 000 abaadi abatala Samishonyi asepesha bantu.)

28 Binobino Samishonyi nkuela musaase kui Yehowa’shi: “Muanana mukile bukata Yehowa, ntentekieshe namu, na mpe namu bukome, nakusendeela penda bua uno mususa, Ô Efile Mukulu, na ntadiile neobuele kui bena Filistine bua dimune dia ku meso ande abidi.”

29 Akupu Samishonyi bakuatshile ngofu misungo ibidi ya munkatshi ibaadi ikuate nshibo, na aye nkukuata musungo umune na mboko yaye ibalume na ungi na mboko yaye ibakashi. 30 Samishonyi nkuela musaase’shi: “Nfue* na bena Filistine!” Akupu aye nkutakula na bukome buaye boso, na nshibo nkuponena ba nfumu na bantu boso babaadi muanka. Biabia baadi muipee bantu be bungi pa lufu luaye kukila babaadi muipee mu mafuku a muwa waye.
