1Agho Abafilisiti baalwanisa Abaisiraeli. Abaisiraeli abo baalumuka, era kamaala baitirwa ku lusozi Giliboa. 31:1-13: 2 Sam 1:6-10; 1 Byom 10:1-12 2Abafilisiti baabingirira Saulo ni batabane be, 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’abasaadha boonaboona aba Saulo oyo. Boonaboona baafiira ghalala ku lunaku olwo. 7Abaisiraeli abaali ku luuyi lule olw’ekiiko, n’abo abaali ere ng’osomoike Yorudani, 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 okutoola ebivaalo ku mirambo, baayagaana nga Saulo ni batabane be abasatu baagwire ku lusozi Giliboa. 9Saulo baamutemaku omutwe, era baamuvaalulula eby’okulwanisa bye. 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’omusambwa omukazi Ashitarothi, era baakomerera omulambo gwe ku kimante ky’ekibuga Bethi Shani.

Baaja baaghanulayo ku kimante ky’ekibuga Bethi Shani omulambo gwa Saulo n’emirambo gya batabane be, baagireeta e Yabeshi baagyokera eyo. 13Baatwala amagumba gaibwe, baagaziika ghansi gh’omuti omutamarisiki, era baasiiba enaku musanvu.
