Ndele va dipaa monhele yolwoodi ovalumenhu ve fike ngeno pomayovi ane. 3 Ovakwaita fimbo tave uya monhanda, ovakulunhu vOvaisraeli tava ti: Omolwashike Omwene e tu taataifa nena kOvafilisti? Natu ka taleni oshikefa shehangano shOmwene muSilo shi kale mokati ketu ndele tashi tu xupifa momake ovatondadi vetu. 4 Opo nee ovakwaita va tuma ko kuSilo, ndele va eta ko oshikefa shehangano lOmwene womatanga ovakwaita, ou ta kala kombada yovakerubi. Novana ovamati vavali vaEli, Hofni naPinehas, va li poshikefa shehangano laKalunga. 5 Ndele nee oshikefa shehangano lOmwene eshi she uya monhanda, Ovaisraeli aveshe va yelula ondaka tava ingida va hafa, nedu la kakama. 6 NOvafilisti va uda ondaka yehafo ndee tava ti: “Ondaka inene yeuyaano tai udika monhanda yOvaheberi oyashike?” Opo nee va shiivifilwa nokutya, oshikefa shOmwene she uya monhanda, 7 nOvafilisti va tila, osheshi va tya: “Kalunga e uya monhanda! Woo fye, osheshi oshinima sha tya ngaha inashi ningwa shito. 8 Woo fye! Olyelye te ke tu xupifa momake oikalunga ei oinaenghono? Oikalunga oyo tuu oyo ya hepeka Ovaegipiti mombuwa noiponga i lili nai lili. 9 Nye Ovafilisti, kaleni mwa nyatipala, kaleni ngaashi ovalumenhweelela, nye muha longele kaude Ovaheberi, ngaashi vo ve tu longela. Kaleni hano nokulwa ngaashi ovalumenhweelela!” 10 Opo nee Ovafilisti va lwa, nOvaisraeli va tewa fiyo va ya onhapo, keshe umwe kofaila yaye. Nolwoodi la li linene shili. Ovakwaita voposhi Ovaisraeli omayovi omilongo nhatu va dipawa. 11 Oshikefa shaKalunga sha iwa yo nasho, novana ovamati vavali vaEli, Hofni naPinehas, va dipawa.

Nomulumenhu e uya ndele ta hepaulula moshilando osho sha ningwa, noshilando ashishe sha weelela. 14 Eli eshi a uda ondaka yeweelelo, ye ta ti: “Eweelelo olo olashike?” Nomulumenhu e uya diva ndele te shi lombwele Eli. 15 Omido daEli da li 98, nomesho aye a kulupa, ye ke wete ko vali. 16 Nomulumenhu okwa lombwela Eli: “Ame nda dja konhele yolwoodi. Heeno, onena eli nda dja onhapo konhele yolwoodi.” Ndele ye ota pula: “Omumwange, oshike sha ningwa ko?” 17 Nomutumwa okwa nyamukula ta ti: “Ovaisraeli va tewatewa kOvafilisti, ndele ovakwaita vahapu va dipawa, novana voye vavali, Hofni naPinehas, va dipawa yo, noshikefa shaKalunga sha iwa nasho.” 18 Naanaa winya eshi ta hepaulula ta tongo oshikefa shaKalunga, Eli okwa wa ongali konima kolukalwa poshivelo, ta teka ofingo ndele ta fi, osheshi ye okwa li omulumenhu munene nomudjuu. Ndele ye a pangela Israel omido omilongo nhee. 19 Ndele oshitenya shaye, omwalikadi waPinehas, okwa li popepi nokudala. Ye eshi a uda eenghundana nokutya, oshikefa shaKalunga osha iwa nasho naxemweno nomulumenhu waye va fya, ye okwa wila poshi ndele ta dala, osheshi efeto ledimo le mu hanga. 20 Ndele fimbo e li pokufya, ovakainhu ava va li ofika puye, tava ti: “Ino tila, osheshi owa dala okaana okalume.” Ndelenee ye ine shi yavala, 21 ndelenee okwa luka okaana okalume Ikabod ndele ta ti: “Efimano laIsrael la xula po!” Ye a diladila okwiiwa nako kwoshikefa shaKalunga naxemweno nomulumenhu waye. 22 Ndele okwa tya: “Efimano laIsrael la xula, osheshi oshikefa shaKalunga sha iwa nasho.”
Ekwatopo lyoshikethahangano
1 Pethimbo ndiyaka Aafilisti oya gongala, ya hingile Aaisraeli iita. Onkee Aaisraeli oya tokola oku ya kondjitha. Aaisraeli oya yungu ontanda yawo puEbenezer nAafilisti opuAfek. 2 Aafilisti oya ponokele Aaisraeli, nokonima yolugodhi olululu oye ya dhenge noya dhipaga konyala aalumentu omayuvi gane. 3 Mboka ya hupu po, sho ye ya kontanda, aawiliki yaIsrael oya ti: “Omolwashike Omuwa e etha Aafilisti, ye tu dhenge nena? Tu yeni, tu ka tale oshikethahangano shOmuwa kuShilo, opo e ende natse, e tu hupithe kaatondi yetu.” 4 Onkee oya tumu aatumwa kuShilo noya kutha oshikethahangano shOmuwa, shoka shi lile po oshipangelapundi shOmuwa Omunankondoawike. Aana yaali yaEli, Hofni naPinehas, oya thindikile oshikethahangano.
5 Oshikethahangano sho sha thiki, Aaisraeli oya kugilile kenyanyu, ndele nevi olya fa tali kakama. 6 Aafilisti sho yu uvu onkugilili, oya ti: “Pulakeneni shoka tashi kugililwa montanda yAahebeli! Otashi ti ngiini?” Sho ya dhimbulula kutya nani oshikethahangano shOmuwa she ya montanda yAahebeli, 7 oya li ya tila noya ti: “Okalunga e ya montanda yawo! Yaye tse! Nonale inatu ningilwa iinima yi thike mpa! 8 Olye te tu hupitha kookalunga mboka aanankondo! Oyo ookalunga mboka ya dhipaga Aayegipiti mombuga! 9 Yafilisti ne, ikoleleleni! Kondjeni ngaashi aalumentu, opo twaa ninge aapika yAahebeli, ngaashi yo ya li aapika yetu. Onkee tu kondjeni twa mana mo!”
10 Aafilisti oya kondjo noonkondo noya dhenge Aaisraeli, onkee oya yi ondapo kaandjawo. Ekanitho olya li enene: aakwiita Aaisraeli omayuvi omilongo ndatu oya dhipagwa. 11 Oshikethahangano shaKalunga osha kwatwa po, naana yaEli, Hofni naPinehas, ayehe yaali oya dhipagwa.
