Pabapushishe bena Isalele biabia, moo ubebakuatshile pa muanda wa bena Filistine. 8 Paapa bena Isalele babalunguile Samuele’shi: “Tolekanga kuitanyina Yehowa Efile Mukulu eetu bua’shi etukuashe, na etupashe kuiyasa dia bena Filistine.” 9 Paapa Samuele batshile muana a mukooko ukuete koomua, aye nkumulambula bu mulambu ushima wa kushiika kaalo kui Yehowa; Samuele nkuteka Yehowa bukuashi pabitale bena Isalele, na Yehowa nkumualuula. 10 Pabaadi Samuele alambula mulambu wa kushiika kaalo, bena Filistine nkuiseesela buabadia kulua na bena Isalele. Mu diadia efuku, Yehowa nkudidishila bena Filistine tupandapanda tui bukopo, aye nkuibatuesha mu kafutakanyi, na bena Isalele nkuibatshimuna. 11 Paapa bena Isalele nkutuuka mu Misepa, n’abo nkuilondena na bena Filistine, abo nkuibayipaa mpa na kuushi kua Bete-kare. 12 Paapa Samuele nkuata ebue, nkuidishimika pankatshi pa Misepa na Yeshana na nkuidiudika bu Ebenezere,* muanda bambile’shi: “Mpa na binobino Yehowa betukuasha.” 13 Paapa babaadi batshokole bena Filistine, na tababaadi bafikie dingi mu nsenga ya bena Isalele; eyasa dia Yehowa dibatungunukile na kuluisha bena Filistine ngoshi munda mua mafuku oso a Samuele. 14 Dingi, bena Isalele babaatshile bibundi biabo bibaadi bena Filistine banyengie, kukatukila ku Ekrone mpa na ku Gate, na bena Isalele nkupetuula nsenga yabo ibaadi bena Filistine banyengie.
