3 Buri mwaka, uwo mugabo yavaga mu mujyi w’iwabo, akazamuka akajya i Shilo+ gusenga* Yehova nyiri ingabo no kumutambira igitambo. Aho ni ho abahungu ba Eli babiri, ari bo Hofuni na Finehasi,+ bakoreraga Yehova+ ari abatambyi.

3 Ingabo zisubiye mu nkambi, abakuru b’Abisirayeli baravuga bati: “Kuki uyu munsi Yehova yemeye ko Abafilisitiya+ badutsinda?* Reka dukure isanduku y’isezerano rya Yehova i Shilo+ tuyijyane kugira ngo idukize amaboko y’abanzi bacu.

12 “‘Ariko noneho nimugende, mujye ahahoze ari iwanjye i Shilo,+ aho izina ryanjye ryabanje kuba,+ murebe uko nahagize bitewe n’ubugome bw’abantu banjye, ni ukuvuga Abisirayeli.+

44 “Igihe ba sogokuruza bari mu butayu bari bafite ihema ryagaragazaga ko Imana iri kumwe na bo. Imana ni yo yari yarahaye Mose amabwiriza yo kuryubaka. Yari kuryubaka akurikije ibyo yari yabonye.+ 45 Nyuma yaho abana babo bararihawe, maze na bo barizana bari kumwe na Yosuwa, baryinjirana mu gihugu bari bamaze kwigarurira,+ kuko Imana yari imaze kwirukana+ abari bagituyemo. Aho ni ho ryagumye kugeza mu gihe cya Dawidi.
