2 Kɛ je be nɛ Daka a ba su Kiriat Yearim ɔ, behi fuu ba be; e hi lejɛ ɔ jeha 20 sɔuu, nɛ Israel we ɔ tsuo bɔni Yehowa se blɔ hlami.*
3 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de Israel we ɔ tsuo ke: “Ke nyɛ kpale kɛ ma Yehowa ngɔ kɛ nyɛ tsui tsuo ɔ, nyɛ je ma se mawu ɔmɛ kɛ Ashtoret amaga amɛ kɛ je nyɛ kpɛti, nɛ nyɛɛ kɛ nyɛ tsui tsuo nɛ ha Yehowa, nɛ nyɛ sɔmɔ lɛ pɛ, nɛ e ma kpɔ̃ nyɛ kɛ je Filisti bi ɔmɛ a dɛ mi.”
4 Kɛkɛ nɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ je Baal ɔmɛ kɛ Ashtoret amaga amɛ kɛ je a kpɛti nɛ a sɔmɔ Yehowa pɛ.
5 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel de ke: “Nyɛ ya bua Israel tsuo nya ngɛ Mizpa, nɛ ma da nyɛ nane mi kɛ sɔle ha Yehowa.”
6 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a ya bua a he nya ngɛ Mizpa, nɛ a sa nyu ngɛ vu mi, nɛ a plɛ pue si ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi, nɛ a ha hwɔ jamɛ a ligbi ɔ. A de ngɛ lejɛ ɔ ke: “Wa pee yayami kɛ si Yehowa.” Nɛ Samuel bɔni sɔmɔmi kaa Israel bi ɔmɛ a kojolɔ ngɛ Mizpa.
7 Benɛ Filisti bi ɔmɛ nu kaa Israel bi ɔmɛ ya bua a he nya ngɛ Mizpa a, Filisti ma nɔ yeli ɔmɛ kuɔ kɛ ya tua Israel. Benɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ nu he ɔ, a ye Filisti bi ɔmɛ gbeye.
8 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Israel bi ɔmɛ de Samuel ke: “Yaa nɔ nɛ o tsɛ Yehowa wa Mawu ɔ nɛ e ba ye bua wɔ, nɛ́ e he wa yi wami kɛ je Filisti bi ɔmɛ a dɛ mi.”
9 Kɛkɛ nɛ Samuel ngɔ jijɔ bi nɛ ngɛ nyɔ nya, nɛ e kɛ sã sami afɔle ha Yehowa; nɛ Samuel da Israel bi ɔmɛ a nane mi kɛ tsɛ Yehowa kaa e ba ye bua mɛ, nɛ Yehowa he lɛ nɔ.
10 Benɛ Samuel ngɛ sami afɔle ɔ sãe ɔ, Filisti bi ɔmɛ hɛ mɛ kɛ ba konɛ a kɛ Israel nɛ ba hwu ta. Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa ha nɛ hiɔwe si wawɛɛ jamɛ a ligbi ɔ kɛ wo Filisti bi ɔmɛ, nɛ e ha nɛ a lulu, nɛ a ye a nɔ kunimi ngɛ Israel hɛ mi.
11 Kɛkɛ nɛ Israel nyumu ɔmɛ je kpo kɛ je Mizpa, nɛ a fiee Filisti bi ɔmɛ a se, nɛ a gbe mɛ hluu kɛ ya su Bet Kar woyi je tɔɔ.
12 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, Samuel ngɔ tɛ ko, nɛ e kɛ ma si ngɛ Mizpa kɛ Yeshana a kpɛti, nɛ e wo lɛ biɛ ke Ebenezer,* ejakaa e de ke: “Yehowa ye bua wɔ kɛ ba si amlɔ nɛ ɔ.”
13 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a ba Filisti bi ɔmɛ si, nɛ a bɛ Israel zugba kpɔ ɔ mi hu; nɛ ngɛ Samuel be ɔ mi tsuo ɔ, Yehowa ya nɔ nɛ e te si kɛ wo Filisti bi ɔmɛ.
14 Jehanɛ se hu ɔ, Filisti bi ɔmɛ kpale mahi nɛ a kpɔ̃ ngɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ a dɛ ɔ kɛ ha mɛ, kɛ je Ekron kɛ ya si Gat, nɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ kpale ngɔ a zugba kpɔ ɔ ngɛ Filisti bi ɔmɛ a dɛ.
Tue mi jɔmi hu ba Israel bi ɔmɛ kɛ Amor bi ɔmɛ a kpɛti.
15 Samuel ya nɔ nɛ e kojo Israel e wami ligbi ɔmɛ tsuo.
16 Daa jeha a, e hiaa blɔ kɛ bɔleɔ si kɛ yaa Betel, Gilgal, kɛ Mizpa, nɛ e kojoɔ Israel ngɛ ma nɛ ɔmɛ tsuo a mi.
