3 Samuel okwa lombwela eumbo alishe laIsrael a ti: “Ngeenge otamu alukile kuJehova nomutima weni aushe,+ ekeleishi ookalunga vokoilongo+ noihongwafano yaAstoret,+ oyo i li mokati keni, nokulongela Jehova aeke+ nomutima weni aushe, note ke mu xupifa momake Ovafilisti.”+
4 Onghee Ovaisrael ova ekelashi ooBaal noihongwafano yaAstoret, ndele tava longele Jehova aeke.+

7 Eshi Ovafilisti va uda kutya Ovaisrael ova li va ongala muMispa, ovapangeli vOvafilisti+ ova ka lwifa Ovaisrael. Eshi Ovaisrael ve shi uda, ova li va tila Ovafilisti.
8 Onghee Ovaisrael ova lombwela Samuel va ti: “Twikila okwiilikana Jehova Kalunga ketu e tu kwafele+ noku tu xupife momake Ovafilisti.”
9 Opo nee Samuel okwa kufa okadjona, ndele akeshe te ka yambele po Jehova ke li exwikiloyambo,+ ndele ta pulile Ovaisrael ekwafo kuJehova, na Jehova okwe mu nyamukula.+
10 Eshi Samuel a li ta yambe exwikiloyambo, Ovafilisti ova li ve uya okulwifa Ovaisrael. Mefiku olo Jehova okwa ngungumifa omingungumo dinene+ mewangadjo, ndele ta ngwangwaneke Ovafilisti,+ nova li va findwa kOvaisrael.+
11 Onghee Ovaisrael ova dja mo muMispa, ndele tava taataa Ovafilisti, noku va dipaa fiyo okolukadi laBet-kar.
12 Opo nee Samuel okwa kufa emanya,+ ndele te li diki pokati kaMispa naJesana nokwe li luka Eben-eser,* nokwa ti: “Natango Jehova okwe tu kwafela ngaashi ashike nale.”+
13 Ovafilisti osho va li va findwa ngaho, noinave uya vali moshitukulwa shOvaisrael,+ na Jehova okwa twikila okukondjifa Ovafilisti onghalamwenyo aishe yaSamuel.+
