1Ke moo batho ba Kiriate-Jearime ba tšerego Polokelo ya Kgwerano ya Morena ba e iša ngwakong wa monna yo leina la gagwe e bego e le Abinadaba, yo a bego a dula mmotong. Ba šegofatša morwa wa gagwe, Eleasara, gore a e hlokomele.
Samuele o buša Baisraele
2Polokelo ya Kgwerano ya Morena e ile ya dula Kiriate-Jearime nako ye telele – mengwaga ye masome a mabedi. Ka nako yeo Baisraele ka moka ba be ba llela Morena gore a ba thuše.
3Samuele a re go setšhaba sa Israele: “Ge le tloga le sokologela go Morena ka dipelo tša lena ka moka, gona tlošang medimo e šele ka moka le diswantšho tša Astarte, modimo wo motshadi. Dulang le ineetše Morena mme le khunamele yena a nnoši, gomme o tla le phološa diatleng tša Bafilista.” 4Ka gona Baisraele ba tloša medimo ya bona ya diswantšho ya Baale le Astarte, gomme ba khunamela Morena a nnoši.
5Ke moo Samuele a biditšego Baisraele ka moka a re ba gahlane kua Mitsepa, a re: “Ke tla le rapelela go Morena fao.” 6Ka gona ka moka ba kgobokana kua Mitsepa. Ba ga meetse ba a tšhollela fase e le kabelo go Morena, gomme ba ikona dijo letšatši leo ka moka. Ba re: “Re dirile sebe pele ga Morena.”
Ke gona kua Mitsepa moo Samuele a bego a rarolla diphapano tša Baisraele.
7Ge Bafilista ba ekwa gore Baisraele ba kgobokane kua Mitsepa, magoši ale a Bafilista a tla le banna ba ona go tlo ba hlasela. Baisraele ba kwa taba yeo mme ba boifa, 8gomme ba re go Samuele: “O se ke wa kgaotša go rapela Morena Modimo wa rena gore a re namolele go Bafilista.” 9Samuele a tšea kwanyana ye e sa anyago a direla Morena sehlabelo sa go tšhungwa ka moka ka yona. Ke moo a rapetšego Morena gore a thuše Baisraele, gomme Morena a kwa thapelo ya gagwe. 10Ge Samuele a sa dira sehlabelo, Bafilista ba batamela Baisraele go ba hlasela; eupša ka yona nako yeo Morena a ba tsošetša modumo wo o swanago le wa tladi. Ba gakanega mme ba fenywa ke Baisraele. 11Baisraele ba tloga Mitsepa gomme ba rakediša Bafilista ba tšama ba ba bolaya ba ba gomela ge ba fihla tlase ga motse wa Bethe-Kare.
12Ka morago ga moo Samuele a tšea letlapa, a le tsema gare ga Mitsepa le Shene, mme a re: “Morena o re thušitše go fihlela bjale,” gomme a le rea leina la “Letlapa la Thušo”. 13Ka gona Bafilista ba fenywa, gomme Morena a ba thibela go šwahlela naga ya Israele ge Samuele a sa phela. 14Metse ka moka ye Bafilista ba bego ba e thopile kgathe ga Ekrone le Gathe e ile ya ba ya Baisraele gape, ka fao Baisraele ba lokolla naga ya bona ka moka. Ntle le fao go ile gwa ba le khutšo gare ga Baisraele le Bakanana.
15Samuele o bušitše Baisraele bophelo bja gagwe ka moka. 16Ngwaga wo mongwe le wo mongwe o be a eya Bethele, Gilgale le Mitsepa, mme moo mafelong ao a rarolla diphapano. 17Ka morago o be a boela ga gabo kua Rama moo le gona e bego e eba moahlodi. Kua Rama o ile a agela Morena aletare.
