1 Samwiri 5

1 Awo Abafirisuuti bwe bawamba essanduuko ya Katonda, ne bagiggya Ebenezeri ne bagitwala mu Asudodi;

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ʻomi ia mei Epenisa ki ʻAsitoti.

2 ne bagisitula ne bagiteeka mu ssabo lya Dagoni, okuliraana Dagoni.

‌ʻI he maʻu ʻe he kau Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo Takoni, ʻonau fokotuʻu ia ofi kia Takoni.

3 Awo abantu ba Asudodi bwe baagolokoka enkeera, baasanga Dagoni agudde mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama. Ne basitula Dagoni ne bamuzzaawo.

Pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAsitoti, vakai, kuo tō fakafoʻohifo ʻa Takoni ki hono mata ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻa nau hiki ʻa Takoni ʻo toe fokotuʻu ia ki hono potu.

4 Era ne bwe baagolokoka enkeera ku lunaku olwaddirira, baasanga Dagoni agudde mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama, ng’omutwe gwe n’emikono gye bikutuseeko nga bigudde mu mulyango, ng’ekiwuduwudu kye, kye kisigaddewo.

Pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi ʻe taha, vakai, kuo tuʻulu ʻa Takoni mo hono mata ki he kelekele he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ʻo Sihova; pea kuo motuua ʻae ʻulu ʻo Takoni, mo hono fasi ʻae nima fakatouʻosi pē ʻi he mata fale: naʻe toe pe kia Takoni ʻa hono foʻi sino pe.

5 Bakabona ba Dagoni n’abo bonna abayingira mu ssabo lya Dagoni kyebava balema okulinnya ku mulyango gw’essabo lye, ne leero.

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lakalakavale ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻo Takoni, pe ha tokotaha ʻoku haʻu ki he fale ʻo Takoni, ki he matafale ʻo Takoni ʻi ʻAsitoti ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

6 Omukono gwa Mukama ne gubonereza abantu b’e Asudodi n’emiriraano, n’abaleetako entiisa era ne bakwatibwa ebizimba.

Ka naʻe mamafa ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ki he kakai ʻo ʻAsitoti, ʻo ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mahaki kovi, ʻio, ʻa ʻAsitoti mo hono ngaahi potu.

7 Awo abantu b’e Asudodi bwe baalaba ebyabatuukako ne boogera nti, “Essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri teteekwa kusigala wano naffe, kubanga omukono gwe gutuliko era guli ne ku lubaale waffe Dagoni.”

Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻAsitoti ʻoku pehē, naʻa nau lea, “ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: he ʻoku tō mamahi hono nima kiate kitautolu, pea kia Takoni ko hotau ʻotua.”

8 Ne bakuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna ab’Abafirisuuti ne bababuuza nti, “Tunaakola tutya essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri?” Ne baddamu nti, “Essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri etwalibwe e Gaasi.” Awo ne batwala eyo essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri.

Ko ia naʻa nau fekau ʻo tānaki kiate kinautolu ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kau Filisitia, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā te tau fai ki he puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ke haʻamo fano ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo ʻave ki Kati.” Pea naʻa nau haʻamo fano mei ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

9 Naye bwe baagituusa eyo, omukono gwa Mukama ne gulwana n’ekibuga ekyo, ne waba okutya kungi nnyo nnyini mu batuuze b’ekibuga ekyo. Abakulu n’abato n’abaleetako ebizimba ku bitundu byabwe eby’ekyama.

Pea naʻe pehē, hili ʻenau haʻamo fano ia, naʻe hoko mālohi ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ki he kolo ʻi he fakaʻauha lahi: pea ne taaʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻae siʻi mo e lahi, pea naʻa nau mahaki kovi ʻi honau potu fufū.

10 Kyebaava baweereza essanduuko ya Katonda mu Ekuloni. Naye essanduuko ya Katonda bwe yali ng’eneetera okutuuka mu Ekuloni, Abaekuloni ne bakaaba nga boogera nti, “Batuleetedde essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri, okututta n’abantu baffe.”

Ko ia naʻa nau ʻave ai ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki Ekiloni. Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki Ekiloni, naʻe tangi ʻae kakai Ekiloni, ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau ʻomi ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli kiate kitautolu, ke tāmateʻi kitautolu mo hotau kakai.”

11 Awo ne bakuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna ab’Abafirisuuti, ne babagamba nti, “Muzzeeyo essanduuko ya Katonda wa Isirayiri mu kifo kyayo, ereme kututta ffe n’abantu baffe.” Omukono gwa Katonda gwali gubazitooweredde nnyo era nga bajjudde entiisa ey’okufa.

Ko ia naʻa nau fekau ʻo tānaki ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ʻonau pehē, “Fekau ke ʻave ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea tuku ke ʻalu ia ki hono potu, telia naʻa ne tāmateʻi kitautolu mo hotau kakai:” he naʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha lahi ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe kolo; naʻe mamafa ʻaupito ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi ai.

12 Abo abataafa baalwala ebizimba, okukaaba mu kibuga ne kutuuka mu ggulu.

Pea ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻikai mate naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mahaki kovi: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae tangi ʻae kolo.
