1Abaisraeli bakahurura kurwanisa Abafilistia; baateera orusiisira rwabo aha rubaju rwa Ebenezeeri; n'Abafilistia nabo baateera orwabo ahari Afeki.2Abafilistia baatenga orugamba kurwanisa Abaisraeli; ku baarwaine, Abafilistia baabinga Abaisraeli, babaitamu abantu enkumi ina.3Engabo ku zaagarukire omu rusiisira, abakuru ba Israeli baabuuzana bati: Ahabw'enki MUKAMA yaatubingisa omu maisho g'Abafilistia eri izooba? Ka tuze kwenda eshanduukye y'endagaano ya MUKAMA, tugiihe Shiilo, tugireete aha; ku eraatuhikyemu, etujune omu mikono y'abazigu baitu.4Batyo baatuma abantu Shiilo, baihayo eshanduukye y'endagaano ya MUKAMA ow'amahe, oshutami ahari baakerubi. Kandi beene Eli bombi, Hofuni na Finehaasi, abaabaire bari hamwe n'eshanduukye y'endagaano ya Ruhanga, baija nayo.5Eshanduukye y'endagaano ya MUKAMA ku yaahikire omu rusiisira, Abaisraeli boona baateera munonga akaari, ensi yaateera obwaku.6Abafilistia ku baahuriire orwo rwari, baagira bati: Orwo rwari rwingi oruri omu rusiisira rw'Abaheburaayo n'orw'enki? Bwanyima baamanya ku eshanduukye ya MUKAMA yaahika omu rusiisira rwabo.7Abafilistia baatiina, ahakuba bakagira bati: Ruhanga yaahika omu rusiisira rwabo. Baagaruka baagira bati: Eshi twareeba enaku! Ahabw'okuba tihakabahoga kintu nk'eki okwiha ira ryona.8Twareeba enaku! N'oha oraabaase kutujuna baaruhanga aba ab'amaani? Aba nibo baaruhanga abaitsiize Abanyamisri enfu za buri muringo omu ihamba.9Mube ab'amaani, murwane mashaija, imwe Bafilistia 'mwe, murekye kuba abahuuku b'Abaheburaayo, nk'oku baabaire bari ahariimwe, mufe mashaija murwane.10Batyo Abafilistia baarwana; Abaisraeli baabingwa, baahunga, buri muntu yairukira omu ihema rye; haabaho kwitwa kuhango; ahakuba Abaisraeli bakafamu abantu abarikugyendesa ebigyere obukumi bushatu.11Kandi eshanduukye ya Ruhanga yaanyagwa, na beene Eli bombi Hofuni na Finehaasi baitwa.Okufa kwa Eli
12Omushaija Omubenyamiini yaacwa omu ngabo, yaahika Shiilo eryo izooba, ebijwaro bye bitaagukire, n'eitaka rimuri omu mutwe.13Obu yaija, Eli akaba ashutami aha kitebe kye aha rubaju rw'omuhanda, ataireyo amaisho; ahakuba omutima gukaba gumuhweire omunda ahabw'eshanduukye ya Ruhanga. Ogwo mushaija ku yaahikire omu rurembo, yaabagambira ebibaireho; ab'omu rurembo boona baayeha ekiboroogo.14Eli ku yaahuriire okwo kuborooga, yaabuuza ati: Okwo kujagarara n'okw'enki? Ogwo mushaija yaija naayehuuta, yaabimugambira.15Obwo Eli akaba ahikize emyaka makumi mwenda na munaana; amaisho ge gaahumire, atakihweza.16Ogwo mushaija yaagira Eli ati: Niinye ogwo owaaruga omu rugamba eri izooba, naacwa omu ngabo. Onu yaamubuuza ati: Bibaire bita, mwana wangye?17Ogwo owaareeta amakuru yaamugarukamu ati: Abaisraeli baahunga Abafilistia, haabaho okwitwa kw'abantu baingi, batabani baawe bombi, Hofuni na Finehaasi, baafa; kandi eshanduukye ya Ruhanga yaanyagwa.18Ku yaagambire eby'eshanduukye ya Ruhanga, Eli yaaruga aha kitebe kye, yaagwa agarami aha kiti ky'omuryango, yaahendeka ebitsya, yaafa; ahakuba akaba ari omugurusi, orikweremeera. Kandi akaba amazire emyaka makumi ana naacwera Abaisraeli emanja.19Obwo mukaamwana wa Eli, muka Finehaasi, akaba aine enda ari haihi kuzaara; ku yaahuriire enkuru ngu eshanduukye ya Ruhanga enyagirwe, kandi ngu ishezaara na iba baafa, yaafukama, yaazaara, ahakuba ebisha bikamukwatira aho.20Ku yaabaire ari haihi kufa, abakazi abaabaire nibamuzaaza, baamugira bati: Otatiina; ahabw'okuba waazaara omwana w'omwojo. Kwonka tiyaabagarukamu, n'obu kwakuba okukyetaho.21Yaayeta ogwo mwana Ikabodi, naagira ati: Ekitiinisa kyaruga ahari Israeli. Yaakigamba ahabw'eshanduukye ya Ruhanga kunyagwa, n'ahabw'ebya ishezaara na iba.22Kandi yaagira ati: Ekitiinisa kyaruga ahari Israeli; ahabw'okuba eshanduukye ya Ruhanga yaanyagwa.Bible Society of Uganda
