Noyudo jo-Israel odhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Jo-Israel ne ogo kambi Ebeneza to jo-Filistia to nogo kambi Afek. 2 Jo-Filistia noyaro ne lweny mondo orom gi jo-Israel, kendo lweny nolandore. Jo-Israel ne olo gi jo-Filistia mine ginego ji madirom alufu angʼwen e paw lweny. 3 Kane jolweny odwogo e kambi, jodong Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye oseweyo jo-Filistia oloyowa kawuononi? Waomuru Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye man Shilo, mondo odhi kodwa kendo oreswa e lwet wasikwa.”

10 Omiyo jo-Filistia nokedo kendo, jo-Israel nolo mi ngʼato ka ngʼato noringo kadhi e hembe. Noneg ji mathoth ahinya! Noneg jolweny mag jo-Israel alufu piero adek. 11 Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye ne okaw, yawuot Eli ariyo Hofni gi Finehas ne onegi.
