2 Kwakuyisikhathi eside, iminyaka engamatshumi amabili isiyonke, ibhokisi lesivumelwano liseKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi. Njalo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bakhala befuna uThixo.

3 USamuyeli wasesithi kuyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli, “Nxa libuyela kuThixo ngezinhliziyo zenu zonke zehlukaniseni labonkulunkulu bezizweni labo-Ashithorethi lizinikele kuThixo njalo likhonze yena kuphela, uzalikhulula esandleni samaFilistiya.”

4 Ngakho abako-Israyeli babalahla oBhali babo labo-Ashithorethi, bakhonza uThixo kuphela.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel miphunnaw ni Baal cathut Ashtaroth hah a pahnawt awh teh, BAWIPA e thaw hah a tawk awh.
5 USamuyeli wasesithi, “Buthanisani u-Israyeli wonke eMizipha mina ngizalikhulekela kuThixo.”
Samuel ni Mizpah kho dawk Isarel miphun pueng hah kamkhueng sak nateh nangmouh hanelah BAWIPA koe ka ratoum han telah a ti.
6 Kwathi sebebuthene eMizipha, bakha amanzi bawathela phambi kukaThixo. Ngalolosuku bazila njalo bavuma izono zabo khonapho besithi, “Sonile.” Njalo uSamuyeli wahlulela abantu bako-Israyeli eMizipha.

7 Kwathi amaFilistiya esizwa ukuthi u-Israyeli wayebuthene eMizipha, ababusi bamaFilistiya baya khona ukuyabahlasela. Kwathi abako-Israyeli bekuzwa, besaba ngenxa yamaFilistiya.

8 Bathi kuSamuyeli, “Ungayekeli ukusikhalela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ukuba asihlenge esandleni samaFilistiya.”
Isarelnaw ni Samuel koe kaimanaw hah Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang thai nahan kaimae BAWIPA Cathut koe kâhat laipalah ratoum loe atipouh awh.
9 USamuyeli wathatha iwundlu elimunyayo walinikela kuThixo njengomnikelo opheleleyo wokutshiswa. Wamkhulekela kuThixo u-Israyeli, uThixo wamphendula.
Samuel ni sanu ka net lahun e tuca buet touh a la teh, BAWIPA koe abuemlahoi hmaisawi thuengnae a poe teh, Isarelnaw hanelah BAWIPA koe ratoum pouh teh, BAWIPA ni a thai pouh.
10 Kwathi uSamuyeli enikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, amaFilistiya asondela eduze ukuba alwe lo-Israyeli. Kodwa mhlalokho uThixo waduma ngomdumo omkhulu emelane lamaFilistiya wawenza athuthumela kangangoba aze achithwachithwa phambi kwabako-Israyeli.

11 Abantu bako-Israyeli bagijima bephuma eMizipha baxotshana lamaFilistiya bewabulala endleleni baze bayafika endaweni engaphansi kweBhethi-Khari.
Isarelnaw hah Mizpah kho hoi a tâco awh teh Bethkhar kho rahim totouh a pâlei awh teh Filistinnaw a thei awh.
12 USamuyeli wasethatha ilitshe walimisa phakathi kweMizipha leSheni. Walibiza ngokuthi yi-Ebhenezeri, esithi, “Kuze kube khathesi uThixo usisizile.”
Samuel ni talung buet touh a la teh, Mizpah kho hoi Shem kho rahak dawk a ung hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni maimouh sahnin totouh na kabawp awh toe telah a dei teh, hote talung teh Ebenezer telah min a poe.
13 Ngakho amaFilistiya anqotshwa njalo kawazange ahlasele ilizwe lako-Israyeli futhi. Kuyo yonke impilo kaSamuyeli, isandla sikaThixo sasimelane lamaFilistiya.
Filistinnaw teh a sung awh. Isarelnaw e ram dawk bout tho awh hoeh toe. Samuel a hring na thung pueng Filistinnaw e lathueng BAWIPA e a kut a pha sak.
14 Amadolobho kusukela e-Ekroni kusiya eGathi ayethunjwe ngamaFilistiya ku-Israyeli abuyiselwa kuye, njalo u-Israyeli wakhulula ilizwe eliseduze emandleni amaFilistiya. Njalo kwaba lokuthula phakathi kuka-Israyeli lama-Amori.
Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw e kho a la e Ekron kho hoi kamtawng teh Gath kho totouh Isarelnaw bout a poe awh teh a ram hah Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi bout a lawp awh teh, Isarelnaw hoi Amornaw hanelah roumnae a sak awh.
15 USamuyeli waqhubeka engumahluleli ka-Israyeli kuzozonke insuku zokuphila kwakhe.
Samuel ni a hring nathung pueng Isarel a uk.
16 Iminyaka ngeminyaka wayenquma esuka eBhetheli aye eGiligali leMizipha, esahlulela u-Israyeli kuzozonke lezindawo.

17 Kodwa wayehlezi ebuyela eRama lapho okwakulomuzi wakhe khona, lakhona wahlulela u-Israyeli. Njalo wakhela uThixo i-alithari.
Hathnukkhu hoi a onae im kaawm e kho Ramah vah a ban. Hote khothung vah Isarelnaw lawk a ceng teh BAWIPA hanelah hote hmuen koe thuengnae khoungroe a sak.
