Aye nkuakula’shi: “Nakiebe kutuela mui mukashi ande mu kadimbo ka kulaala.”* Anka nshaye na mukashi ta baadi mumutadiile bua’shi atuele. 2 Nshaye na mukashi nkuakula’shi: “Nekeele munangushene’shi, ‘We mumushikue binyibinyi.’ Nyi namupa umune a ku ba kuuku bobe. Muina aaye mukashi, te buwa kumukila su? Muate namu pa mbalo yaye.” 3 Anka Samishonyi nkuibalungula’shi: “Uno musuusa bena Filistine t’abantopeka su nebakitshina bi bubi.”
4 Biabia Samishonyi nkuenda na nkukuata mikiengie 300. Akupu aye nkuata biengie bia kaalo nkuanya mikiengie ibibi ibidi ku mikila, na nkutuula kiengie kia kaalo pankatshi pa mikila yoso ibidi ibidi. 5 Akupu aye nkuela biengie kaalo na nkutuma mikiengie mu mafuba a ntete yabashabandile kutshiba a bena Filistine. Aye nkuela bintu bioso kaalo, kubanga ku bisaasa mpa na ku ntete yabashabandile kutshiba, mpa na mafuba a nfinyo na mafuba a mitshi ya olive.
6 Bena Filistine nkuipusha’shi: “Nnanyi bakitshi bino?” Abo nkuibalungula’shi: “Nyi Samishonyi, muko a muina Timena, muanda baata mukashi aaye bamupa umune a ku ba kuuku baye.” Biabia bena Filistine nkuenda na nkushiika yawa muana mukashi na nshaye kaalo. 7 Akupu Samishonyi nkuibalungula’shi: “Bu bianubakitshi bino, tandekie mpa na paneobuela kuanudi.” 8 Akupu aye nkuibayipaa ngofu umune ku umune, kunyima aye nkualaala na nkushala mu mpako* i mu lubuebue lua Etame.
9 Kunyima bena Filistine nkukaamina na nkutuula kishalelo mu Yunda na babaadi abende na kuumbakana mu Lehi. 10 Akupu bantu ba mu Yunda kuipusha’shi: “Buakinyi nubakaamina mu kuituluisha?” abo nkualula’shi: “Tubakaamina bua kukuata* Samishonyi, bua’shi tumukite bu bibetukitshi.” 11 Biabia bantu 3 000 ba mu Yunda abalaleele mu mpako* i mu lubuebue lua Etame na balungula Samishonyi’shi: “Touku’shi bena Filistine nyi bakuete kuitumuna? Buakinyi bokitshi biabia?” Aye nkuibalungula’shi: “Nebakitshi nka bu biabankitshine.” 12 Abo nkumulungula’shi: “Tubafiki bua’shi tukukuate* na tukutuule mu maasa a bena Filistine.” Anka Samishonyi nkuakula’shi: “Etshipeyi kuandi’shi tanunkitshina bi bubi.” 13 Abo nkumulungula’shi: “Nya, atukuanya bisumanga na tukutuule mu maasa aabo, anka t’atukuipaa.”

Biabia kikudi kia Yehowa nkumupa bukome, na mioshi ibaadi ku maboko kuaye nkufika nka bu buanda bua lin butaate kaalo, na mioshi ibaadi ku maboko kuaye nkupona. 15 Aye nkupeta lubangabanga lua mpunda mulume luki lubishi; aye nkoola mboko nkuiluata na nkuipaa nalo bantu 1 000. 16 Akupu Samishonyi nkuakula’shi:
“Na lubangabanga lua mpunda, mututo umune, mituto ibidi!
Na lubangabanga lua mpunda nayipaa bantu 1 000.”
17 Pabapuile kuakula, basumbuile lualua lubangabanga na aye nkuitanyina yaaya mbalo bu Ramate-lehi.* 18 Akupu bapushishe nyota ngofu, na aye nkuitanyina Yehowa na nkuakula’shi: “Nnobe bapa mufubi oobe kuno kutshokola kukata. Anka binobino abitungu nfue na nyota na mpone mu maasa mua bantu bashi basadiibue?” 19 Biabia Efile Mukulu nkutanya buina bubaadi mu Lehi, na mema nkuimutuuka.
