5 Kepo Samwela aambile’mba: “Konkanyai bena Isalela bonse ku Mizipa,+ ne amiwa nsakwimulombelako kwi Yehoba.”+ 6 Byonkabyo, bakonkene ku Mizipa kabiji batapwile mema ne kwiechila panshi ku meso a Yehoba, kabiji bazhikilwe na nzala aja juba.+ Konkakwa baambile’mba: “Twamulenga mambo Yehoba.”+ Kabiji Samwela waikele ke mutonyi+ wa bena Isalela konkakwa ku Mizipa.

7 Bena Filishitiya byo baumvwine’mba bena Isalela bakonkana ku Mizipa, bamfumu ba bena Filishitiya+ bayile na kulwisha bena Isalela. Bena Isalela byo baumvwine kino, baumvwine moyo na mambo a bena Filishitiya. 8 Onkao mambo, bena Isalela baambijile Samwela amba: “Kange muleke kumujijila Yehoba Lesa wetu ne, pa kuba’mba etukwashe+ ne kwitupokolola mu maboko a bena Filishitiya.” 9 Kepo Samwela ashikwile mwana mukooko ukyamwa ne kumulambula ke mulambo wa kusoka+ kwi Yehoba; kabiji Samwela wamujijiile Yehoba amba akwashe bena Isalela, ne Yehoba wamukumbwile.+ 10 Samwela byo alambwilenga mulambo wa kusoka, bena Filishitiya baishile na kulwa na bena Isalela. Pa joja juba Yehoba wibalulumijile+ bena Filishitiya, ne kwibavulañanya,+ kabiji bebashinjile ku bena Isalela.+ 11 Kabiji banabalume bena Isalela bafumine ku Mizipa ne kupupila bena Filishitiya, saka bebatapa kukafikatu ne ku kabeta ka ku bulenge bwa Bete-ka. 12 Kepo Samwela ashikwile jibwe+ ne kwijimika pakachi ka Mizipa ne Yeshana ne kwijitumba’mba Ebeneza,* mambo waambile’mba: “Yehoba watwajijila kwitukwasha kufika ne lelo jino.”+ 13 Byonkabyo, bena Filishitiya bebashinjile, kabiji kechi baishilepo jibiji mu nyaunda ya bena Isalela ne;+ kabiji kuboko kwa Yehoba kwatwajijile kukanya bena Filishitiya mu moba onse a kwa Samwela.+ 14 Kabiji mizhi bena Filishitiya yo baangachile ku bena Isalela beibwezhezhe ku bena Isalela, kufuma ku Ekelona kukafikatu ne ku Gata, ne bena Isalela batambwile nyaunda yabo ku bena Filishitiya.
