⁶ Penipo ŵaFilisti ŵanguvwa chiwawa chakukambura, ŵanguti “Ching'anamuwanji chiwawa chikuru ichi mu ugoŵi wa ŵaHebere?” Ndipo po ŵanguvwa kuti bokosi la phanganu la Ambuya laza mu ugoŵi,

⁷ ŵaFilisti ŵangopa, ndipo ŵanguliya, “Chiuta waza mu ugoŵi. Tasokwa! Mo tikujariya kale palivi kuchitika cha mtundu uwu.

⁸ Owe ifwe! Njani wangaziŵa kutitaska ku nthazi ya ŵaChiuta yaŵa? Yaŵa mba Chiuta wo ŵangubwanganduwa ŵaEgipiti ndi chideru ndi kuŵamara mu bozwa.

⁹ Khwimani; ndipo mujikhozge nge mbanthurumi, mwa ŵaFilisti, vinu mungaŵa ŵaŵanda ku ŵaHebere nge ndimo iwo ŵanguŵiya kwaku imwe; jikhozgeni mwaŵeni nge mbanthurumi, ndipo rwani.”
