1 Oshikethahangano shOmuwa sho sha kala mevi lyAafilisti oomwedhi heyali, 2 aantu oyi ithana aayambi noonganga noye ya pula ya ti: “Oshikethahangano shOmuwa otatu shi ningi ngiini? Ngele tatu shi shunitha nkoka sha li, otatu shi tumu nashike?”
3 Oya yamukula ya ti: “Ngele otamu shunitha oshikethahangano shaKalunga kaIsrael, omu na oku mu faalela omagano, mu futile ondjo yeni. Oshikethahangano kashi na okushuna shaa na magano. Opo ihe otamu ka aluka notamu ka dhimbulula kutya omolwashike e mu geele.”
4 Aantu oya pula ya ti: “Otatu mu tumine omagano gashike?” Oya yamukula ya ti: “Iiyelekela yoshingoli itano yiitumbuka noombuku ntano dhoshingoli, ano omwaalu ngoka gu thike pamwe nomwaalu gwaakwaniilwa yAafilisti. Egeelo ndika olye mu adha ne amuhe naakwaniilwa yeni yatano. 5 Hambuleni ano iiyelekela yiitumbuka noyoombuku ndhoka dha hepeke oshilongo sheni, ne mu simaneke Kalunga kaIsrael. Pamwe ta mweneke ondjahi ye yoku mu geela, one niikalunga yeni noshilongo sheni. 6 Omolwashike tamu ikukutike, ngaashi omukwaniilwa gwaEgipiti nAayegipiti ya ningi? Inamu dhimbwa, nkene Kalunga e ya posipaleke, sigo ye etha Aaisraeli, ya tembuke muEgipiti. 7 Pangeleni ano etemba epe ne mu kuthe oonzinzi mbali oonyali ndhoka inaadhi humbata nale ondjoko; dhi kutileni ketemba, ihe uutana wadho u tuleni koshigunda, 8 Kutheni oshikethahangano shOmuwa, mu shi tule metemba ne mu tule mo ontega nasho okaketha ke na iiyelekela yoshingoli mbyoka tamu tumine Kalunga kaIsrael omagano gokufuta oondjo dheni. Ukitheni etemba moshitauwa ne mu li ethe, li ye nondjila yalyo. 9 Li undjeni; ngele otali yi lyu uka koshilando Bet Shemesh, shika otashi ti kutya Kalunga kaIsrael oye a tumu egeelo ndika. Ihe ngele hasho, nena otatu tseya kutya nani haye a tumu uuvu mbuka, osha li pamwe oshiponga shi iyeta.”
10 Oya ningi, ngaashi ya lombwelwa: oya kutha oonzinzi mbali oonyali e taye dhi kutile ketemba, ihe uutana oye u edhilile moshigunda. 11 Oya tula oshikethahangano metemba pamwe nokaketha ke na iiyelekela yoombuku noyiitumbuka. 12 Oonzinzi odha yi dhu ukilila ondjila yokuBet Shemesh, inadhi penga mo mondjila nando. Odhe ende tadhi lili. Aakwaniilwa yAafilisti yatano oye dhi landula sigo okongamba yaBetShemesh.
13 Aantu yokuBet Shemesh oya li taa teya osiima molusilu, nohaluka sho ya ligamene ko, oya mono oshikethahangano noya nyanyukilwa oku shi mona. 14 Etemba olya thiki pepya lyomulumentu gwomuBet Shemesh edhina lye Josua e tali thikama popepi nemanya enene. Aantu oya tyaya po etemba noya dhipaga oonzinzi e taye dhi yambele Omuwa efikilondjambo. 15 Aalevi oya toola po oshikethahangano nokaketha kiiyelekela yoshingoli e taye yi tula pemanya enene. Nena aantu yaBet Shemesh oya yambele Omuwa omafikilondjambo noondjambo oonkwawo. 16 Aakwaniilwa yatano yAafilisti oya li taye ya undju, sho taa longo ngeyi, noya shuna kuEkron esiku tuu ndyoka.
17 Aafilisti oya tumu omagano giitumbuka itano yoshingoli kOmuwa okufuta oondjo dhawo; moshilando kehe omwa zi shimwe: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gat naEkron. 18 Oya tumu wo oombuku dhiingoli; moshilando kehe shaambyoka itano omwa zi yimwe, nayi kale iilandohote nenge omikunda dha kala pontundulu. Emanya enene mepya lyaJosua kuBet Shemesh, moka ya tula oshikethahangano shOmuwa, oko li li sigo onena onzapo yaashoka sha ningilwe ko.
19 Omuwa okwa dhipaga aalumentu omilongo heyali yokuBet Shemesh, oshoka oya tala moshikethahangano. Aantu noya lili oosa, oshoka Omuwa okwe ya geele ngaaka.

Tu shiivifileni nhumbi hatu dulu oku shi shunifa konhele yasho.” 3 Ndele tava ti: “Nye ngeenge tamu shunifa oshikefa shaKalunga kaIsrael, inamu shi tuma ko hamakasha, ndelenee mu peni ehandukulukifo la wana; opo nee tamu ka veluka ndee tamu ka shiiva kutya omolwashike eke laye itali mu efa.” 4 Opo nee tava pula: “Ehandukulukifo lashike tu noku mu alulila?” Ndele tava ti: “Pamuvalo wovakulunhu vOvafilisti: oidinda itano yoshingoldo neemhuku nhano doshingoldo, osheshi eshi oshiponga kombada yavo aveshe nokombada yovakulunhu veni. 5 Ningeni hano omafano oidinda nomafano eemhuku, edi tadi nyono po oshilongo ndele fimanekeni Kalunga kaIsrael. Kashiimba Ye ota ka pupalifa eke laye kombada yeni noyoikalunga yeni noyoshilongo sheni. 6 Omolwashike hano tamu ka kukutika omitima deni ngaashi Ovaegipiti naFarao va kukutika omitima davo? Venya inave va efa hamba, Ye eshi e va monifila eenghono daye? 7 Onghee hano ningeni etemba lipe, nosho yo eengobe mbali eedidi hadi nyamwa, inadi ya kondjoko.

Ndelenee ngeenge hasho, opo nee twa shiiva hake laye le tu hangele, ndelenee we uya kombada yetu ashike.”
10 Ovalumenhu osho va ninga: va kufa eengobe mbali eedidi tadi nyamifa ndele ve di mangela ketemba ndele va kwatela outana vado peumbo. 11 Ndele va tula oshikefa shOmwene metemba nokakefa mu neemhuku doshingoldo nomafano oidinda yavo. 12 Neengobe eedidi da enda nokuyukilila kuBet-Semes. Do oda enda nokudimina efimbo alishe nondjila tuu imwe inadi yapukila kolulyo ile kolumosho, fimbo ovakulunhu vOvafilisti ve di shikula fiyo okongaba yopuBet-Semes. 13 Novanhu vomuBet-Semes va li va teya oilya mepumbu. Vo eshi va yelula omesho avo ndele tava mono oshikefa, vo ova hafela oku shi mona. 14 Netemba ole uya kepya laJosua Omubetsemes noko la kanghama. Oko kwa li emanya lakula, ndele etemba ve li pandaula oikuni ndele va yambela Omwene eengobe eedidi ngaashi exwikiloyambo. 15 NOvalevi va tula poshi oshikefa shOmwene pamwe nokakefa oko ka li pusho, muko mwa li oinima yoshingoldo ndele ve i tula kemanya lakula.
