Mukanda wa kumpala wa Samuele 5:1-12
5 Pavua bena Peleshete banyenge Mushete+ wa Nzambi mulelela, bakumbuka nawu ku Ebene-ezê kuyabu nawu ku Ashedodo.
2 Bena Peleshete bakangata Mushete wa Nzambi mulelela, kuwubuejabu mu nzubu* wa Dagona, kuwutekabu kumpenga kua Dagona.+
3 Pavua bena Ashedodo bajuke mu dindadinda dituku diakalonda, bakasangana Dagona mudishinde mutue mpala panshi kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa.+ Nunku bakangata Dagona, kumupingajabu pa muaba wende.+
4 Pakajukabu mu dinda menemene dituku diakalonda, bakasangana Dagona mudishinde mutue mpala panshi kumpala kua Mushete wa Yehowa. Mutu wa Dagona ne bianza biende bionso bibidi bivua bikosa, bikale panshi mu mushiku wa mbelu. Anu tshitupa tshiende tshivua tshienze bu mushipa* ke tshivua tshishale tshijima.
5 Ke bualu kayi too ne lelu, bakuidi ba Dagona ne bantu bonso badi babuela mu nzubu wa Dagona kabatu badiata mu mushiku wa mbelu wa Dagona mu Ashedodo.
6 Tshianza tshia Yehowa tshiakanemena bena Ashedodo, yeye kubakengesha, kutua Ashedodo ne bitupa biende bia maloba nsundu.+
7 Pavua bantu ba mu Ashedodo bamone tshivua tshienzeka, bakamba ne: “Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele kawushadi munkatshi muetu to, bualu tshianza tshiende ntshitukengeshe tuetu ne nzambi wetu Dagona bikole.”
8 Nunku bakabikidisha bakalenge bonso ba bena Peleshete, kubasangishabu, kubebejabu ne: “Tuenze tshinyi ne Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele?” Kuandamunabu ne: “Baye ne Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele ku Gata.”+ Nunku bakaya ne Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele kuntu aku.
9 Bobu bamane kuya nawu kuntu aku, tshianza tshia Yehowa tshiakaluisha tshimenga atshi, kubatuminatshi buôwa bukole menemene. Yeye wakakengesha bantu ba mu tshimenga atshi, kumbukila ku bakese too ne ku banene, ne nsundu yakabapatuka.+
10 Nunku bakatuma Mushete wa Nzambi mulelela ku Ekelona,+ kadi diakamue pakafika Mushete wa Nzambi mulelela ku Ekelona, bena Ekelona bakabanga kudila bamba ne: “Mbalue ne Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele kutudi bua kutushipa tuetu ne bantu betu!”+
11 Nunku bakabikidisha bakalenge bonso ba bena Peleshete, kubasangishabu, kuambabu ne: “Pingajayi Mushete wa Nzambi wa Isalele; upingane muaba wawu bua tuetu ne bantu betu katufu to.” Bualu buôwa bua kufua buvua butangalake mu tshimenga tshijima; tshianza tshia Nzambi mulelela tshivua tshineme bujitu menemene mu tshimenga atshi,+
12 ne bantu bavua kabayi bafue bakapeta nsundu. Nunku muadi wa tshimenga bua kulomba diambuluisha wakabanda too ne mu diulu.
