4 Nena aawiliki ayehe yaIsrael oya gongala noya yi kuSamuel kuRama. 5 Oya ti kuye: “Tala, ngoye owa kulupa, naamwoye inaa landula oshinkoti shoye. Onkee ano tu langekela omukwaniilwa, e tu pangele, opo tu kale tu na omukwaniilwa, ngaashi iilongo yilwe yi li.” 6 Samuel okwa li a ninga omwenyo omwiinayi, sho ya pula omukwaniilwa; onkee okwa galikana Omuwa. 7 Omuwa okwa ti: “Pulakena kwaashihe shoka aantu taye ku lombwele. Hangoye ya tindi; ongame ya tindi, ndaa kale we omukwaniilwa gwawo. 8 Okuza poku ya tembudha muEgipiti oya pilamene ndje e taa simaneke iikalunga yilwe. Ngashingeyi otaye ku ningile shoka haa ningile ndje. 9 Ya pulakena ano, ihe ya londodha noonkondo e to ya fatululile nawa shoka omukwaniilwa gwawo te ke ya ningila.”
10 Oshigwana sho sha li sha hala omukwaniilwa, Samuel okwe shi hokololele omalombwelo agehe gOmuwa. 11 Samuel okwa ti: “Omukwaniilwa gweni ote ke mu pula iinima mbika. Aana yeni aamati ote ke ya ninga aakwiita ye; yamwe yomuyo otaa ka hinga omatembakwiita ge, yamwe otaa ka ninga aakayilinkambe nayamwe otaa ka matuka komeho gomatembakwiita ge. 12 Ota ka ninga yamwe aambala naakuluntu yomatanga geyuvi, nayamwe oyomatanga gomilongo ntano. Aana yeni otaa ka pulula omapya ge, otaa ka teya iilya ye notaa ke mu hambulila iikondjitho nokupangela omatembakwiita ge. 13 Aana yeni aakadhona otaye ke mu longekidhila omigwayo dhiizimba notaye ke mu telekela iithima niikwiila. 14 Omatathapya geni ote ga kutha po, iitsambe yeni yomiviinu nomiti dheni dhomiolivi e te dhi pe aambala ye. 15 Ota ka kutha oshitimulongo shiilya yeni noshomandjembele geni, yi ninge yaambala ye aapanguli naambala ooyakwawo. 16 Ota kutha po aapika yeni niimuna yeni iiwanawa nuusino weni notau mu longele. 17 Ota ka kutha po oshitimulongo miigunda yeni yoonzi niikombo. Nane yene otamu ningi aapika ye. 18 Uuna ethimbo ndika tali thiki, otamu ka nyenyetela omukwaniilwa gweni, ngoka mwe mu ihogololele, ihe ita ka uva nando omayemato geni.”
19 Aantu inaa pupa ko nando kuSamuel, ihe oya ti: “Aawe! Tse otwa hala omukwaniilwa, 20 opo tu kale ngaashi iigwana yilwe, tu kale nomukwaniilwa gwetu yene te tu pangele note tu wilike miita.” 21 Samuel okwa pulakene ohapu kehe ye mu lombwele, nena okwa yi nokwe shi lombwele Omuwa. 22 Omuwa okwa yamukula a ti: “Ninga, ngaashi ya hala, ya pa omukwaniilwa.” Nena Samuel okwa lombwele aalumentu ayehe yaIsrael, ya shune komagumbo.
