¹ Eshanduukye ya MUKAMA yaamara ameezi mushanju omu nsi y'Abafilistia.

³ Baabagarukamu bati: Ku muraayohereze eshanduukye ya Ruhanga wa Israeli, mutagyohereza yonka; kureka mucwe obwengye bwona kugigarurayo n'empongano y'okwihaho orubanja. Obwo nibwo muraakire, kandi mukamanya ekizibiire omukono gwe kubarugaho.

⁴ Banu bagira bati: Ni mpongano ki ey'okwihaho orubanja ei turaamwoherereze? Baagarukamu bati: Ebizimba bitaano by'ezaabu, n'embeba itaano z'ezaabu, nk'omubaro gw'abategyeki b'Abafilistia oku gurikwingana; ahakuba imwe mwena n'abategyeki baanyu mukajuumikirwa orwo rufu.

⁵ N'ahabw'ekyo mushemereire kuheesha ebishushani by'ebizimba byanyu, n'eby'embeba ezirikushiisha ensi yaanyu; kandi muryaha Ruhanga wa Israeli ekitiinisa; obundi akaatuubya oburemeezi bw'omukono gwe ahariimwe, n'ahari baaruhanga baanyu, n'aha nsi yaanyu.

⁶ Mbwenu shi nimugangaariza ki emitima, nk'Abanyamisri na Faraho oku baagangaize eyaabo? Obu yaakora eby'amahano omuribo, tibararekire abo bantu bakarugayo, bakagyenda?

⁷ N'ahabw'ekyo hati mureete ekigaari kisya, mukiboneze, n'ente ibiri ezirikwontsya, ezitakakururaga kintu, muzikomeho ekigaari, muzaakye enyana zaazo, muzigarure omuka;

⁹ Kandi mureebe ahu eraatoore; ku eraarabe ogurikuza aha mwatano gwayo, yaagyema Beti-shemeshi, nitwija kumanya ku MUKAMA niwe atureeteire aka kabi koona; kandi ku kiraabe kitabaire kityo, nabwo nitwija kumanya ku gutari mukono gwe ogwatwitsire; kureka ku kari akagwe akatugwereire.

¹⁰ Abo bashaija baatwaza batyo, baareeta ente ibiri zirikwontsya, baazikomaho ekigaari, enyana zaazo baazikingira omuka;

¹¹ baata eshanduukye ya MUKAMA aha kigaari, baataho n'akashanduukye akarimu embeba eziheesire omu zaabu n'ebishushani by'ebizimba byabo.

¹² Ezo nte zaatoora omuhanda ogurikucwekanisa niguza Beti-shemeshi, zaagumizamu omu muhanda rugyendwa nizijuga, tizaakiikama ha rubaju rwa buryo nari orwa bumosho; kandi abategyeki b'Abafilistia baagyenda bazikuratiire okuhika aha mwatano gwa Beti-shemeshi.

¹³ Eryo izooba aba Beti-shemeshi bakaba nibagyesha engano omu ruhita; ku baanagire amaisho, baareeba eshanduukye, baashemererwa munonga kugireeba.

¹⁴ Ekyo kigaari kyahika omu musiri gwa Yoshua owa Beti-shemeshi, kyayemerera aho, ahu eibaare rihango ryabaire riri; bwanyima baashatura embaaho z'ekyo kigaari, baatambira aho ezo nte kuba ekitambo ky'okwokyeza MUKAMA.

¹⁵ Abaleevi baihaho eshanduukye ya MUKAMA, n'akashanduukye akaabaire kari hamwe nayo, akarimu ebyo bintu by'ezaabu, baabita aha mutwe gw'eryo ibaare rihango; kandi eryo izooba aba Beti-shemeshi baatambira MUKAMA ebitambo by'okwotsya n'ebindi bitambo.

¹⁶ Abo bategyeki ku baaherize kubireeba, baagaruka Ekurooni eryo izooba.

¹⁷ Ebi nibyo bizimba by'ezaabu ebi Abafilistia baahongyeire MUKAMA kuba empongano y'okwihaho orubanja; kimwe aha bwa Ashidoodi, ekindi ahabwa Gaaza, ekindi ahabwa Ashikelooni, ekindi ahabwa Gaasi, n'ekindi ahabwa Ekurooni;

¹⁸ kandi n'embeba z'ezaabu, nk'omubaro gw'endembo zoona ez'Abafilistia, ezaabaire nizitwarwa abo bategyeki bataano, oku gwabaire guri, endembo ezeehinguririziibwe engo z'amabaare, n'ebirorero by'omu byaro. Kandi eryo ibaare rihango, eri baataireho eshanduukye ya MUKAMA aha rubaju omu musiri gwa Yoshua owa Beti-shemeshi, niryo kareebi n'okuhitsya hati.

¹⁹ Bwanyima MUKAMA yaita abantu ba Beti-shemeshi makumi mushanju, ahabw'okuringuriza omu shanduukye ya MUKAMA; abantu baacura munonga, ahabw'okuba MUKAMA akabaitamu abantu baingi.

²⁰ Abashaija ba Beti-shemeshi baagira bati: N'oha orikubaasa kwemerera omu maisho ga MUKAMA, Ruhanga ogu orikwera? Kandi ku araaturugyeho, naaza ahari oha?

²¹ Batyo baatuma entumwa aha batwire Kiryasi-yearimu, nibagira bati: Abafilistia bagarwire eshanduukye ya MUKAMA. Mushuume, mugiinamure owaanyu.
