13 Shaula uvua ne bidimu . . .* pavuaye mulue mukalenge,+ ne wakakokesha mu Isalele bidimu bibidi.
2 Shaula wakasungula bantu balume 3 000 mu Isalele; bantu 2 000 ba kudibu bavua ne Shaula ku Mikemasha ne mu buloba bua mikuna bua ku Betele ne bantu tshinunu bavua ne Yonatana+ ku Gibea+ wa Benyamina. Wakapingaja bantu bavua bashale, muntu yonso ku ntenta wende.
3 Pashishe Yonatana wakashipa basalayi ba bena Peleshete+ bavua mu Geba,+ ne bena Peleshete bakumvua bualu abu. Nunku Shaula wakelesha mpungi+ mu buloba buonso wamba ne: “Bena Ebelu bumvue!”
4 Isalele mujima wakumvua lumu elu ne: “Shaula mmushipe basalayi ba bena Peleshete, ne mpindieu Isalele mmulue tshintu tshidi tshinunka bibi munkatshi mua bena Peleshete.” Nunku bakabikidisha bantu bua kulonda Shaula ku Gilegala.+
5 Bena Peleshete bakadisangisha pabu pamue bua kuluisha Isalele, bikale ne matempu a mvita binunu 30 ne bendeshi ba tubalu 6 000 ne basalayi bungi bu nsenga ya ku muelelu kua mbuu;+ ne bakabanda, kutudilabu mu Mikemasha ku est kua Bete-awena.+
6 Nunku bantu ba mu Isalele bakamona ne: bavua mu lutatu, bualu bavua babatshintshimike; nunku bantu bakasokoma mu nyongolo,+ mu bina, mu mikuna ya mabue, mu nzubu ya muinshi mua buloba ne mu bina bia kulamina mâyi.
7 Bena Ebelu bakuabu bakasabuka too ne Yadene, kuyabu mu buloba bua Gada ne bua Gilada.+ Kadi Shaula uvua yeye anu mu Gilegala, ne bantu bonso bavua bamulonda bavua benda bazakala.
8 Wakatungunuka ne kuindila matuku muanda mutekete too ne pavua dîba divua Samuele mukose* dikumbane, kadi Samuele kavua mulue ku Gilegala to, ne bantu bavua nende bakatuadija kumuangalaka.
9 Ndekelu wa bionso Shaula wakamba ne: “Ntuadilayi mulambu wa kuosha ne milambu ya diumvuangana.” Ke yeye kulambula mulambu wa kuosha.+
10 Kadi diakamue pakajikijaye kulambula mulambu wa kuosha, Samuele wakafika. Nunku Shaula wakaya bua kusambakena nende ne kumubenesha.
11 Pashishe Samuele wakakonka ne: “Tshiudi muenze ntshinyi?” Shaula wakandamuna ne: “Mvua mumone ne: bantu bakavua bumbuka kundi,+ ne wewe kuvua mulue pa dîba dikosa to, ne bena Peleshete bavua benda badisangisha pamue ku Mikemasha.+
12 Ke meme kudiambila ne: ‘Mpindieu bena Peleshete nebapueke bua kunduisha ku Gilegala, ne tshiena mukebe dianyishibua kudi* Yehowa to.’ Nunku mvua mudimone muenzejibue bua kufila mulambu wa kuosha.”
13 Nunku Samuele wakambila Shaula ne: “Udi muenze bualu bua bupote. Kuena mutumikile dîyi divua Yehowa Nzambi webe mukuambile to.+ Bu wewe muditumikile, Yehowa uvua mua kuenza bua bukalenge buebe bushindame mu Isalele bua kashidi.
14 Kadi mpindieu bukalenge buebe kabuakunenga to.+ Yehowa neakebe muntu udi usankisha muoyo wende,+ ne Yehowa neamuteke mulombodi wa tshisamba tshiende,+ bualu wewe kuvua mutumikile tshivua Yehowa mukutumine dîyi bua kuenza to.”+
15 Pashishe Samuele wakajuka ku Gilegala, kubandaye ku Gibea wa mu Benyamina, ne Shaula wakabala bantu; bantu batshivua nende bavua batue ku 600.+
16 Shaula, muanende Yonatana, ne bantu batshivuabu nabu bavua basombela mu Geba+ wa mu Benyamina, kadi bena Peleshete bobu bavua base tshitudilu ku Mikemasha.+
17 Bisumbu bia bapawudi bivua bipatuka mu tshitudilu tshia bena Peleshete mu bisumbu bisatu. Tshisumbu tshimue tshivua tshiyila mu njila wa ku Ofela, too ne ku buloba bua Shuala;
18 tshisumbu tshikuabu tshivua tshiyila njila wa ku Bete-holona;+ ne tshisumbu tshisatu tshivua tshiyila njila udi uya ku mikalu idi ku mutu kua tshibandabanda tshia Seboima, luseke lua tshipela.
19 Tshikondo atshi kakuvua nsenda wa biamu mu buloba buonso bua Isalele to, bualu bena Peleshete bavua bambe ne: “Bua bena Ebelu kabenji muele wa mvita anyi difuma to.”
20 Nunku bena Isalele bonso bavua bapueka kudi bena Peleshete bua kunonesha bikasu, mpiki, tusuyi, anyi miele yabu.
21 Bavua banonesha bikasu, mpiki, nkanya ya mênu asatu, tusuyi, ne bakoleshisha musongolo wa kusaka nawu ngombe ku mushinga wa pima* umue.
22 Nunku dituku dionso dia mvita, kakuvua muele wa mvita anyi difuma mu tshianza tshia muntu nansha umue wa ku bantu bavua ne Shaula ne Yonatana to;+ anu Shaula ne muanende Yonatana ke bavua ne bia mvita.
23 Mpindieu basalayi* ba bena Peleshete bavua baye mu kajila ka mu lupongo lua Mikemasha.+
