12 Bosi Samueli wukamba dikabu dioso di Isaeli: “Minu yima vanga mamoso lundindizi, yima kulubiekila ntinu. 2 Buabu, awuwu nandi ntinu wunkuiza lutuadisa. Minu yeka minlengi miphembi ayi yeka kiboba, vayi bana bama badi va khat′inu. Minu yilutuadisidi tona mu butoko buama nate bubu. 3 Buabu minu yidi vantual′inu, tanu kimbangi vantuala Yave, ayi vantuala mutu no nandi kama sola: Phunda voti ngombi yi nani yivinza? Nani minu yiyiba biuma? Zimbongo zi nani yitambula muingi yibika fundisa mutu mu diambu dimbi kavanga? Boti yivanga mawu, buna tubanu muingi yifuta.” 4 Bawu bankamba: “Ngie wusa tukuiba ko ayi wusa kikinina ko ni zimbongo zi mutu, muingi wubika kumfundisa mu mambu mambi kavanga.” 5 Mu phila ayoyo, Samueli wuba kamba: “Bubu Yave ayi mutu no nandi kabe sola, banta kimbangi ti minu yisa kuiba ko ni kiuma ki mutu ayi benu mulendi kuphunina ko ni diambu.” Bosi bawu batuba: “Ngete Nzambi wunta kimbangi.”
6 Ayi Samueli wubue kamba dikabu: “Yave no wusadila Mose ayi Aloni muingi kukula dikabu diandi ku Ngipiti, widi mbangi. 7 Buabu telamanu vantual′ama ayi yeka lutebula monyo vantuala Yave, mu kutadila mambu moso mamboti Yave kaluvangila ayi kavangila zikhaya zinu.
8 “Bo Yakobi ayi dikanda diandi bayenda ku Ngipiti, ayi bo zikhaya zinu batona kutovuka, bawu badinda lusalusu kuidi Yave. Ayi Yave wufila Mose ayi Aloni muingi babotula zikhaya zinu ku Ngipiti, ayi kuba tuala ku kibuangu akiki. 9 Vayi zikhaya zinu babanda mbusa Yave Nzambi′awu, ayi nandi wuba yekula mu mioko mi Sizera mfumu masodi ma Hazor, mu mioko mi basi Filistea ayi mi basi Moabi. 10 Ayi bawu balinda lusalusu kuidi Yave, mu kutuba: ‘Tubandizi mbusa Yave, ayi tusumukizi mu kubuongimina bitumba bi Baal ayi bi Astoreti. Buabu lemvuka, wutukula mu mioko mi zimbeni zitu, muingi tubuongimina to ngiewu.’ 11 Bosi Yave wufila Jerubal, Bedan,* Jefte ayi Samueli muingi kukula dikabu diandi mu mioko mi zimbeni ziawu. Kavangila mawu, muingi dikabu diandi bazingila mu nsika. 12 Bo benu luzaba ti Naás ntinu wu basi Amom widi mu kuiza lunuanisa, benu lutatamana kukhamba: ‘Tubiekila ntinu muingi katuyadila,’ kheti mu kuzaba ti Yave nandi Ntinu′inu. 13 Awuwu, nandi ntinu no benu ludinda. Yave wulubiekidi ntinu. 14 Benu kukinzika Yave, benu kunsadila mu ntima woso, ayi benu kuntumukina mukhambu bayisa zithumu zi Yave, buna benu ayi ntinu no Yave kabe sola, lunkuiza baka ndandu mu luzingu. 15 Vayi benu kukhambu tumukina minsiku mi Yave, mu kubayisa zithumu zi Yave, zabanu ti Yave wunkuiza tuadisa ziphasi kuidi matata minu ayi kuidi benu. 16 Buabu telamanu va kibuangu muidi, muingi lumona mambu ma kukuitukila Yave kemvanga vantual′inu. 17 Benu luzebi buboti ti tuidi mu thangu yi kuvela trigu, vayi kheti bobo, minu yensambila kuidi Yave muingi kavanga vanoka mvula ayi vabanda zinzazi. Mu phila ayoyo, benu lunkuiza zaba ti diambu dimbi luvengi va meso ma Yave, mu kudinda ba lubiekila ntinu.”
18 Bosi Samueli wusambila kuidi Yave, ayi mu kilumbu beni Yave wuvanga vanoka mvula ayi vabanda zinzazi. Mu phila ayoyo, dikabu bayiza tona kumona boma Yave ayi Samueli. 19 Dikabu dioso bakamba Samueli: “Tulindila nlemvu vantuala Yave Nzambi′aku, muingi tubika fua. Befu tuvengi masumu mawombo, ayi tuma bue vola disumu dinkaka, mu kulinda ba tubiekila ntinu.”
20 Diawu Samueli kakambila dikabu: “Bikanu kumona boma. Bukiedika, benu nzimbala yinneni luvengi. Vayi buabu, bikanu kubanda Yave mbusa, ayi sadilanu Yave mu ntima woso. 21 Bikanu kuvekuka mu kusambidila zinzambi zi luvunu, kibila ziawu zisi ko luvalu ayi zilendi kuluvukisa ko. 22 Yave mu kibila ki dizina diandi dinlongo, kalasa kuekula ko dikabu diandi, kibila naveka Yave wulusola muingi luba dikabu diandi. 23 Yilendi sumuka ko vantuala Yave, mu kukhambu lunatanga mu minsambu miama, vayi yala tatamana kululonga zinzila zifuana lufueti diatila. 24 Yiku ludinda muingi lukinzika Yave, ayi lunsadila mu ntim′inu woso. Mvandi wufueti tebukilanga monyo mambu moso mamboti Nzambi kaluvangila. 25 Vayi benu kumonisa ntu ngolo mu kuvanga mamu mambi, buna zabanu kuinu ti benu ayi ntinu’inu bala kuluvonda.”
