1Agho Abafilisiti baalwanisa Abaisiraeli. Abaisiraeli abo baalumuka, era kamaala baitirwa ku lusozi Giliboa. 2Abafilisiti baabingirira Saulo ni batabane be baabatuukaku, baita Yonathani, ni Abinadabu, ni Malakishua, batabane ba Saulo. 3Olutalo lwanhigiriza inho Saulo, ab’obulaso baamwagaana baamulasa, baamutaaku ebibwa ebinene einho. 4Agho Saulo yaakoba eyamugemeranga eby’okulwanisa ati: “Sowolayo empiima yo onfumite, abo abatali bakekete balobe kwidha kunfumita na kuneesanhukizaaku.” Aye eyamugemeranga eby’okulwanisa yaaloba kumufumita olw’okutya einho. Kale Saulo mwene yaasowolayo empiima eyiye, yaagyetungaku. 5Ole eyagemeranga Saulo eby’okulwanisa bwe yabona nga Saulo afiire, yeena yeetunga ku mpiima eyiye, yaafiira ghalala naye. 6Kale atyo Saulo yaafa, ni batabane bonsatule, n’ole eyamugemeranga eby’okulwanisa, era n’ab’endhu ya Saulo oyo boonaboona. Abo boonaboona baafiira ghalala. 7Abaisiraeli abaali mu kiiko bwe baabona ng’eigye lya Isiraeli lirumwike era nga Saulo ni batabane be bafiire, baalekulira agho ebibuga byaibwe, baalumuka. Abafilisiti baidha baabibaamu.
8Enkyo ku lunaku olwairirira ng’olutalo luwoire, Abafilisiti bwe baidha ku mirambo okugitoolamu ebivaalo, baayagaana nga Saulo ni batabane be abasatu nga baagwire ku lusozi Giliboa. 9Saulo baamuvaalulula eby’okulwanisa bye era baamutemaku omutwe baagutwala. Agho baatuma abakwenda woonawoona mu nsi y’Abafilisiti okutuusaayo amawulire ago, mu masabo ag’ebisinzibwa byaibwe ebitali Katonda era ni mu bantu boonaboona. 10Baata eby’okulwanisa bya Saulo mu isabo ly’emisambwa gyaibwe, era baakomerera omutwe mu isabo ly’omusambwa Dagoni. 11Abatyamye boonaboona ab’omu kibuga Yabeshi e Gileadi bwe baawulira ekyo Abafilisiti kye baakola Saulo, 12abasaadha abaziramu ntete boonaboona baasituka, baaja baatoolayo omulambo gwa Saulo n’emirambo gya batabane be, baagireeta e Yabeshi. Baaziika amagumba gaibwe eyo e Yabeshi ghansi gh’omuti omukologho, era baasiiba okumala enaku musanvu.
