1Ilizwi likaSamuweli lafika kumaSirayeli onke. Aphuma amaSirayeli, aya kulwa namaFilisti, amisa iintente e-Ebhenezere yaye amaFilisti ayingqinga iAfeki. 2AmaFilisti aqalisa ukuba buthathaka nxamnye namaSirayeli, yaye xa ayehlangene edabini, amaSirayeli oyiswa phambi kwamaFilisti; yaye babulala elizweni malunga namawaka amane amagorha. 3Afika amadoda eminqubeni, athi amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, Yini na ukuba uYehova esoyise namhlanje phambi kwamaFilisti? Masihambe siye kuthabatha ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova eShilo, ukuze isihlangule esandleni seentshaba zethu, ukuba ithe yangena phakathi kwethu. 4Bathumela abantu eShilo, ukuba kuyithabathe ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova wemikhosi ohleli phakathi kweekerubhi; Oonyana ababini bakaEli, uHofeni noFinehasi, babelapho netyeya yomnqophiso kaThixo. 5Yathi yakufika ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova enkampini, akhwaza kakhulu onke amaSirayeli, kangangokuba umhlaba waphinda wanyikima. 6Akusiva amaFilisti eso sandi sokukhwaza, athi: “Siyintoni na esi sandi sokukhwaza kwiinkampu zamaHebhere? Beva ke ukuba ityeya kaYehova ifikile enkampini. 7Oyika amaFilisti, athi, uThixo ungenile emkhosini. Bathi ke bona: Yeha ke thina! ngokuba ibingekho ngaphambili into enje. 8Yeha ke thina! Ngubani na oya kusihlangula esandleni saba thixo banamandla? ikwangoothixo ababetha amaYiputa ngezigwebo zonke entlango. 9Zinikeni amandla nize nime njengamadoda, nina maFilisti, ukuze ningawakhonzi amaHebhere njengoko ayekhonza kuni; 10Alwa ke amaFilisti, oyiswa amaSirayeli, abalekela elowo ententeni yakhe; kwabakho ukubulala kakhulu; ngokuba amashumi amathathu amawaka amaSirayeli abulawa ngeenyawo. 11Kwathinjwa ke ityeya kaThixo; babulawa oonyana ababini bakaEli, uHofeni noPinehasi. 12Kwabaleka indoda yakwaBhenjamin, ivela emkhosini, yeza eShilo kwangaloo mini, iingubo zayo zikrazukile, inomhlaba entloko. 13Ekufikeni kwakhe, wabona uEli ehleli esitulweni ecaleni kwendlela waza wakhangela, kuba intliziyo yakhe yayigubha ngenxa yetyeya yoTHIXO oyinyaniso. Ukufika kwale ndoda kuloo dolophana, yashumayela, yaye yonke loo dolophana yalila. 14Waliva uEli izwi lokuduma, wathi, Liyintoni na elo lizwi lesiphithiphithi? Yakhawuleza yangena indoda leyo, yamxelela uEli. 15uEli ebeminyaka imashumi asibhozo anamnye ekhona; amehlo akhe ayemnyama kangangokuba wayengaboni. 16Yathi indoda leyo kuEli, Ndingulo uvela emkhosini mna, ndibaleke ke mna namhla. Anathi: Kwenzeke ntoni apho nyana wam? 17Waphendula umthunywa lowo, wathi, Asaba oonyana bakaSirayeli kumaFilisti, kwabakho uxabelo olukhulu ebantwini, bafa oonyana bakho bobabini, uHofeni noPinehasi, yathinjwa ke ityeya kaThixo. 18Wathi akuthetha ngetyeya yoThixo oyinyaniso, waziphosa esihlalweni esisecaleni kwesango, waza wayaphula intamo, wafa, ngenxa yokuba wayeyindoda endala nenzima. Wawakhokela amaSirayeli iminyaka emashumi mane. 19Ke kaloku umolokazana wakhe, umkaPinehasi, wayemithi, seleza kuzala; Wathi akuva ukuba ityeya kaThixo ithinjiwe, nokuba uninazala nomyeni wakhe bafile, waguqa, wazala ngokuba intlungu yakhe yamongamela. 20Ekufeni kwakhe, abafazi ababemi ngakuye bathi kuye, Musa ukoyika; ngokuba uzele unyana. Kodwa akazange aphendule, yaye akazange ayicinge loo nto. 21Wandula ke wabiza inkwenkwe enguIkabhodi, wathi: “Uzuko lumkile kwaSirayeli, ngenxa yokuba ityeya yoTHIXO oyinyaniso ithinjiwe ngenxa kayisezala nomyeni wakhe. 22Waza wathi: “Uzuko lumkile kwaSirayeli, ngenxa yokuba ityeya yoTHIXO oyinyaniso ithinjiwe.”
