6 Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negitiyone Baal gi Ashtoreth, kod nyiseche mag jo-Aram, gi nyiseche mag jo-Sidon, nyiseche mag jo-Moab, nyiseche mag jo-Amon kod nyiseche mag jo-Filistia. Bende nikech jo-Israel nojwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye mi ok gitiyone,

And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.

And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.

And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
