2 Nyengu yitali yingujumphapu, mpaka vyaka 20 kutuliya po Bokosi linguziya ku Kiriyati-yearimu, ndipu nyumba yosi yaku Isirayeli yingwamba kupenja* Yehova.+

4 Mwaviyo Ayisirayeli angutuzgapu pakati pawu Abala kweniso vikozgu va Ashitoreti, ndipu angwamba kuteŵete Yehova pe.+
5 Sonu Samuyeli wangukamba kuti: “Wunganisani Ayisirayeli wosi ku Mizipa+ ndipu ini ndikupempheriyeningi kwaku Yehova.”+

7 Afilisiti ŵati avwa ŵaka kuti Ayisirayeli awungana ku Mizipa, mafumu nga Afilisiti+ ngangusoka kuti ngakachiti nkhondu ndi Ayisirayeli. Ayisirayeli ŵati avwa venivi, anguchita mantha ukongwa chifukwa cha Afilisiti.
8 Sonu Ayisirayeli angukambiya Samuyeli kuti: “Ungalekanga cha kuliriya Yehova Chiuta widu kuti watiwovyi+ kweniso kuti watitaski mu manja mwa Afilisiti.”
9 Mwaviyo, Samuyeli wanguto kamwana ka mbereri kakonkha ndipu wangukapereka+ kwaku Yehova nge sembi yakupiriza yamphumphu. Samuyeli wangupempha Yehova kuti wawovyi Ayisirayeli, ndipu Yehova wangumumuka.+
10 Samuyeli wachipereka sembi yakupiriza, Afilisiti angundere kufupi ukongwa ndi Ayisirayeli kuti achiti nawu nkhondu. Sonu Yehova wanguchitiska kuti kuchanya kugululusi ukongwa+ pa zuŵa lenili, ndipu Iyu wanguchitiska kuti Afilisiti atimbanyizgiki.+ Pakumaliya paki Afilisiti anguthereskeka ndi Isirayeli.+
11 Sonu Ayisirayeli angutuwa ku Mizipa ndi kudikisa Afilisiti. Yiwu angubaya Afilisiti mpaka kumwera kwa Beti-kara.
12 Samuyeli wanguto mwa+ ndi kuwuŵika pakati pa Mizipa ndi Yeshana, ndipu wanguwudana kuti Ebenezeri,* chifukwa wanguti: “Yehova watiwovya mpaka sonu.”+
13 Mwaviyo Afilisiti anguthereskeka ndipu anguzamu so cha muchigaŵa cha Ayisirayeli;+ janja laku Yehova lingulutirizga kulimbana ndi Afilisiti mu mazuŵa ngosi ngaku Samuyeli.+
14 Kweniso Afilisiti anguweze Ayisirayeli matawuni ngosi ngo anguphanga, kwambiya ku Ekironi mpaka ku Gati, ndipu Ayisirayeli angulonda chigaŵa chawu cho chenga mu manja mwa Afilisiti.
Penga so chimangu pakati pa Ayisirayeli ndi Aamori.+
15 Samuyeli wangulutirizga kuyeruzga Ayisirayeli mazuŵa ngosi nga umoyu waki.+
16 Chaka chechosi wazunguliyanga ku Beteli,+ Giligala+ ndipuso ku Mizipa,+ ndipu wayeruzganga Ayisirayeli mumalu ngosi ngenanga.
