2 Sandug Muma nobudho Kiriath Jearim kuom higni piero ariyo, jo-Israel duto nokuyo mi odok ir Jehova Nyasaye. 3 Kendo Samuel nowachone jo-Israel duto niya, “Ka udwogo ir Jehova Nyasaye gi chunyu duto, to goluru nyiseche mag jopinje mamoko ma un-go kod mag Ashtoreth, to chiwreuru ni Jehova Nyasaye kendo en kende ema utine, mi noresu kogolou e lwet jo-Filistia.” 4 Omiyo jo-Israel nogolo mowito nyisechegi mag Baal gi mag Ashtoreth; mine gitiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye kende.

5 Eka Samuel nowacho niya, “Chokuru jo-Israel duto Mizpa, anto abiro lemo ka akwayonu Jehova Nyasaye.” 6 Kane gisechokore kanyakla Mizpa ne giumbo pi mi gipuko e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Odiechiengno negitweyo chiemo ka gihulo richo kagiwacho niya, “Waseketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.” Kendo Samuel nobedo jatend Israel e piny Mizpa.

7 Kane jo-Filistia owinjo ni jo-Israel nosechokore Mizpa, ruodhi mag jo-Filistia nobiro mondo omonjgi. To kane jo-Israel owinjo wachno, luoro nomakogi. 8 Negiwachone Samuel niya, “Kik iwe ma ok ikwayonwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa mondo omi oreswa e lwet jo-Filistia.” 9 Eka Samuel nokawo nyarombo ma pod dhoth mi ochiwo ka misango miwangʼo pep ni Jehova Nyasaye. Noywak ni Jehova Nyasaye e lo jo-Israel, mi Jehova Nyasaye ne odwoke.

10 Kane Samuel pod chiwo misango miwangʼo pep, jo-Filistia noyworo machiegni mondo oked gi jo-Israel. To chiengʼno Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo polo omor matek kuom jo-Filistia manomiyogi luoro ma gikee ka gikia kuma gidhiye, kendo negiringo e nyim jo-Israel. 11 Jo-Israel nowuok Mizpa molawo jo-Filistia ma ginegogi e yo nyaka Beth-Kar.

12 Eka Samuel nokawo kidi mochungo e kind Mizpa gi Shen. Nochake ni Ebeneza kowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osekonyowa nyaka ka.” 13 Omiyo jo-Filistia nolo mine ok gichako gimonjo piny jo-Israel kendo.

E kinde duto mane Samuel pod ngima, lwet Jehova Nyasaye nosando jo-Filistia. 14 Mier mane jo-Filistia omayo jo-Israel kochakore Ekron nyaka Gath nodwoknegi, Israel noreso gwenge mane okiewo kode koa e loch jo-Filistia. Kendo kwe nobedo e kind Israel gi jo-Amor.

15 Samuel nobedo jangʼad bura e piny Israel e ndalo duto mag ngimane. 16 Higa ka higa nolworore koa Bethel nyaka Gilgal gi Mizpa kongʼado bura ne jo-Israel kuonde duto. 17 To kinde duto ne odokga Rama, kuma dalane ne nitie, kanyo bende ne ongʼadoe bura ne jo-Israel. Ne ogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
