1Lentsu la Samuele la fihla go Baiseraele ka moka. Baiseraele ba tswa go yo lwa le Bafilisitia, ba hloma mesasa kua Ebenesere. Bafilisitia ba dikanetsa Afeka.

2Bafilisitia ba thoma go tia go Baiseraele, le ge go be go e-ba le ntwa, Baiseraele e ile ya fenywa pele ga Bafilisitia; ba bolaya batho ba naga ye e ka bago banna ba bagale ba dikate tse nne.

3Ge banna bao ba fihla mesaseng, bagolo ba Baiseraele ba re: “Ka ka baka la’ng Jehofa a re otla lehono pele ga Bafilisitia?” A re rotogeng re yo re tlisa areka ya kgwerano ya Morena kua Shilo, gore e tle gare ga rena, e re pholose diatleng tsa manaba a rena.

4Setshaba sa romela molaetsa Shilo, sa tlisa areka ya kgwerano ya Jehofa wa madira, yo a dulago magareng ga bakarubi; Barwa ba babedi ba Eli, Hofini le Finehase, ba be ba na le areka ya kgwerano ya Modimo.

5Ge areka ya kgwerano ya Jehofa e tsena mesaseng, Baiseraele ka moka e ile ya goeletsa ka mokgosi o mogolo, moo lefatshe la sikinyegago gape.

6Ge Bafilisitia ba ekwa lesata la mokgosi, ba re: “Mokgosi wo mogolo wo o lego mesaseng ya Baheberu o bolela’ng?” Ba kwa gore areka ya Morena e tlile mesaseng.

7Bafilisitia ba tshoga, ka ge ba be ba re: “Modimo o tlile mesaseng.” Ka moka ba re: Re madimabe! gobane selo se se bjalo se be se se gona pele.

8Re madimabe! ka mang yo a tlago go re hlakodisa diatleng tsa medimo ye e matla? ka yona medimo yeo e ilego ya tshabela BaEgepeto dikotlo ka moka lesokang.

9Lena Bafilisitia, le tie le le itloseng bjalo ka batho, gore le se ka la hlankala Baheberu go etsa ge ba le hlankatse.

10Bafilisitia ba lwa, Baiseraele a fenywa, yo mongwe le yo mongwe a tshabela tenteng ya gagwe. Ka moka gwa ba le polao ye kgolo; ka gobane Baiseraele ba 30 000 ba ile ba wa ka maoto.

11Areka ya Modimo ya tsewa; barwa ba babedi ba Eli, Hofini le Finehase, ba bolawa.

12Monna wa Babenjamine a tshaba madira a tla Shilo ka lona letsatsi leo, a gagogile diaparo tsa gagwe, a rwele lefatshe hlogong ya gagwe.

13Ge a fihla, a bona Eli a dutse setulong kgauswi le tsela le a dula a lebeletse, ka gobane pelo ya gagwe e be e thothomela ka baka la areka ya Modimo wa thereso. Ge monna yoo a fihla motseng woo, o ile a rera, le motse ka moka wa lla.

14Ge Eli a ekwa lesata la mokgosi, a re: “Lesata la lesata le ka lefe? Ka moka monna yoo a kitimela go tsena le a botsa Eli.

15Eli o be a na le mengwaga ye masometshela-tee; mahlo a gagwe a be a le leswiswi kudu gore a ka bona.

16Monna a re go Eli: “Ka nna yo a tswilego mesaseng, le lehono ka tshabile ka ntle ga mesasa.” A re: “Mora wa ka, bothata ka eng moo?

17Morongwa a araba a re: “Baiseraele e tshabile pele ga Bafilisitia, le go bile le polao e kgolo gare ga setshaba, le barwa ba gago ba babedi, Hofini le Finehase, ba hwile le areka ya Modimo e tserwe.”

18Ge a bolela ka areka ya Modimo wa thereso, a wela setulong ka thoko ga kgoro, molala wa gagwe wa robega le a hwa, ka gobane e be e le mokgalabje e bile a imela. Ka moka a etelela pele Baiseraele ka nywaga e 40.

19Morwedi wa gagwe, mosadi wa Finease, o be a imile, a le kgauswi le go belega; ge a ekwa gore areka ya Modimo e tserwe, le gore mmatswale wa gagwe le monna wa gagwe ba hwile, a wa fase, a belega; gobane bohloko bja gagwe bo be bo mo fentse.

20Ge a hwa, basadi bao ba bego ba eme kgauswi le yena ba re go yena: “O se ka wa boifa; gobane o belege morwa. Eupsa ga se a ka a araba, e bile ga se a ka a nagana ka yona.

21A bitsa Ikabode a re: “Letago le tlogile go Baiseraele, gobane areka ya Modimo e tserwe ka baka la tatagwe le monna wa gagwe.”

22A re: “Letago le tlogile go Baiseraele, gobane areka ya Modimo e tserwe.”
