2 Jo-Filistia noyaro ne lweny mondo orom gi jo-Israel, kendo lweny nolandore. Jo-Israel ne olo gi jo-Filistia mine ginego ji madirom alufu angʼwen e paw lweny.
Afilisti anandanda kuyangʼana Aisraeli nayamba kumenyana. Nkhondo inakula ndipo Afilisti anagonjetsa Aisraeli napha anthu 4,000 pa malo a nkhondopo.
3 Kane jolweny odwogo e kambi, jodong Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye oseweyo jo-Filistia oloyowa kawuononi? Waomuru Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye man Shilo, mondo odhi kodwa kendo oreswa e lwet wasikwa.”

5 Kane Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo e kambi, jo-Israel duto nokok matek ma piny noyiengni.

6 Jo-Filistia kane owinjo koko negipenjo niya, “Mano to koko manade magore e kambi mar jo-Hibrania?” Kane gifwenyo ni Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye osekel e kambi,
Atamva kufuwulaku, Afilisti anafunsa, “Kodi kufuwula kwakukulu kumeneku ku misasa ya Ahebri ndi kwachiyani?” Atamva kuti Bokosi la Yehova lafika ku msasako,
7 jo-Filistia nobedo maluor kagiwacho niya, “Nyasaye osebiro e kambi. Wan gi chandruok! Gima kama pok otimore nyaka nene.
Afilisti anachita mantha pakuti iwo ankanena kuti, “Milungu yafika ku msasa. Iwo anati, ‘Tili pamavuto. Chinthu choterechi sichinachitikepo nʼkale lomwe.
8 To mano kaka wan gi masira! En ngʼa mabiro resowa e lwet nyiseche maratekegi? Gin nyiseche mane ogoyo jo-Misri gi masiche mayoreyore e thim.
Atsoka ife! Adzatipulumutsa ndani mʼmanja mwa milungu yamphamvuyi? Iyi ndi milungu imene inakantha Aigupto ndi miliri yosiyanasiyana mʼchipululu.
9 Beduru motegno un jo-Filistia! Beduru gi chir kaka chwo ka ok kamano to udhi bedo wasumb jo-Hibrania mana kaka gisebedonu. Omiyo beduru jochir kendo ukedi!”
Limbani mtima Afilisti! Chitani chamuna, kuti mungakhale akapolo a Ahebri monga iwowa alili akapolo anu. Chitani chamuna ndipo menyani nkhondo!’”
10 Omiyo jo-Filistia nokedo kendo, jo-Israel nolo mi ngʼato ka ngʼato noringo kadhi e hembe. Noneg ji mathoth ahinya! Noneg jolweny mag jo-Israel alufu piero adek.
Choncho Afilisti anamenya nkhondo, ndipo anagonjetsa Aisraeli. Iwo anathawa aliyense kwawo. Ankhondo a Aisraeli oyenda pansi okwanira 30,000 anaphedwa.
11 Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye ne okaw, yawuot Eli ariyo Hofni gi Finehas ne onegi.
Ndipo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova linalandidwa, ndiponso ana awiri Eli, Hofini ndi Finehasi anaphedwa.
12 Chiengʼ onogo ja-Benjamin moro noringo koa e lweny modhi Shilo, lepe ne oyiech kendo wiye notimo buru.
Tsiku lomwelo munthu wina wa fuko la Benjamini anathawa ku nkhondo ndipo anafika ku Silo. Iyeyu zovala zake zinali zongʼamba ndipo anadzithira dothi kumutu kuonetsa chisoni.
13 Kane ochopo, nonwangʼo Eli kobet e kome e dir yo, ka orito nimar luoro nomake nikech Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye. Kane ngʼatno odonjo e dala mowacho gima ne osetimore, ji duto mane ni ei dala nomuoch gi nduru.
Atafika, anapeza Eli atakhala pa mpando wake mʼmbali mwa msewu, akungoyangʼana, pakuti ankadera nkhawa Bokosi la Mulungu. Munthuyo atalowa mu mzindamo ndi kufotokoza zimene zinachitika ku nkhondo, anthu onse a mu mzindamo anayamba kulira.
14 Eli nowinjo nduru mopenjo niya, “Nduru magoreni nyiso angʼo?” Ngʼatno noreto piyo kodhi ir Eli ma hike

Nthawiyo nʼkuti Eli ali wa zaka 98 ndipo maso ake anali atachita khungu kotero kuti samatha kuona.
16 Nowachone Eli niya, “Aringo ka awuok kar lweny mana kawuononi.” Eli nopenjo niya, “Angʼo motimore wuoda?”
Munthuyo anamuwuza Eli kuti, “Ine ndabwera kuchokera ku nkhondo, ndathawako lero lomwe lino.” Eli anafunsa, “Nanga nkhondo yayenda bwanji mwana wanga?”
17 Ngʼat mane okelo wach nodwoko niya, “Israel nolo gi jo-Filistia, kendo jolweny otho mangʼeny. Koda ka yawuoti ariyo, Hofni gi Finehas osetho, to Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye okaw modhi.”
Iye anayankha kuti, “Aisraeli athawa pamaso pa Afilisti. Anthu ambirimbiri aphedwa. Ana anunso Hofini ndi Finehasi aphedwa. Bokosi la Mulungu nalonso lalandidwa.”
18 Kane ohulo wach mar Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye, Eli nogore piny ataro koa e kom manobetie e bath rangach. Ngʼute ne otur mi notho, nikech ne oti kendo ne ochwe. Ne osetelo ne Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen.

20 Kane odwa tho, mon mane chole nowachone niya, “Kik iluor nikech isenywolo wuowi.” To ne ok odwokogi kata dewogi.
Popeza mkaziyo anali pafupi kumwalira, akazi amene amamuthandiza anati, “Usaope, wabereka mwana wamwamuna” Koma iye sanayankhe kapena kulabadirako.
21 Nochako nyathi ma wuowino ni Ikabod kowacho niya, “Duongʼ oseweyo Israel, nikech negikawo Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye kod tho mar kwar mare gi mar chwore.”
Tsono iye anatcha mwanayo dzina loti Ikabodi kutanthauza kuti, “Ulemerero wachoka mu Israeli,” chifukwa cha kulandidwa Bokosi la Mulungu ndi imfa ya mpongozi wake Eli ndi mwamuna wake.
22 Nowacho niya, “Duongʼ oseweyo Israel, nimar Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye osekaw.”
Ananena momwemo kuti, “Ulemerero wachoka mu Israeli, pakuti Bokosi la Mulungu lalandidwa.”
