Omolwashoka Aaisraeli oye ya kuGilgal, ya landule Saul kiita.
5 Aafilisti oya gongala, ya kondjithe Aaisraeli; oya li ye na omatembakwiita omayuvi omilongo ndatu, aakawilinkambe omayuvi gahamano naakwiita oyendjiyendji ya fa ehekevi lyomooha dhefuta. Oya yi kuMikmash, kuuzilo waBetaven, noya yungu ontanda nkoka. 6 Aaisraeli sho ya mono kutya oya li moshiponga oshinene, oya holama momakololo nokomitutu nenge pokati komamanya nenge miikweyo nomomithima. 7 Yakwawo oya taaguluka omulonga Jordan e taa yi koshitopolwa shaGad noshaGilead.

Onkee onda li ndu uvite ndi na okuyamba efikilondjambo.”
13 Nena Samuel okwa yamukula a ti: “Owa ningi nayi. Ino vulika koshipango shOmuwa Kalunga koye e shi ku pa. Ando owa li wa vulika, ando okwe ku etha noluvalo lwoye, mu lele Aaisraeli sigo aluhe. 14 Ihe ngashingeyi elelo lyoye itali ka kalelela we. Oshoka ino vulika kuye, Omuwa ote ki imonena omulumentu e mu opalela note mu ningi omuleli gwaantu ye.”

Etanga limwe olyu uka lwokuOfra moshitopolwa shaShual, 18 ekwawo olyu uka lwokuBethoron, netitatu olyu uka kongamba pooha dholusilu lwaSeboim nombuga.
19 Pethimbo ndiyaka muIsrael kamwa li aahambudhi nando ogumwe, oshoka Aafilisti oye ya keelele okuhambula omagongamwele nomagonga. 20 (Aaisraeli oya li ye na okuya kAafilisti, opo ya upikithe iipululo, omatemo, omakuya niimwitho yawo. 21 Ofuto oya li okamaliwa kamwe okuupikitha ekuya nenge okwoopalekitha epanda nuumaliwa uyali okuupikitha oshipululo nenge etemo.) 22 Onkee ano kakele kaSaul nomwana Jonatan, mesiku lyolugodhi muIsrael kamwa li nando omukwiita e na egongamwele nenge egonga.
23 Aafilisti oya tumu etanga lyaakwiita, li popile etaulilo lyokuMikmash.
