1 Samuel 4

2 Filisitakae naxa mini a gere ki ma Isirayilakae ya i. Na gere kui e naxa Isirayilakae bɔnbɔ, e mixi wulu naani faxa. 3 Sɔɔrie to gbilen yonkin yire, Isirayila forie naxa maxɔrinyi ti, «Munfe ra Alatala a luxi Filisitakae xa won bɔnbɔ to? Won xɛɛ Silo Alatala xa saatɛ kankira tongode. A xa lu won tagi, a xa fa won nakisi won yaxuie ma.»

4 E naxa mixie xɛɛ Silo Alatala xa saatɛ kankira tongode, naxan dɔxɔxi malekɛ sawurɛ firinyie tagi. Eli xa di firinyie Xofini nun Finexasi naxa na saatɛ kankira mati han Isirayilakae nu yonkinxi dɛnnaxɛ. 5 Alatala xa saatɛ kankira to so yonkinde, Isirayilakae naxa e xui ite han bɔxi fa sɛrɛn. 6 Filisitakae to na mɛ, e naxa a fala, «Munse na yi xui gbe ra naxan tefe Isirayilakae xɔnyi yi ki?» E to a kolon a Alatala xa saatɛ kankira bara fa Isirayilakae yonkinde, 7 e naxa gaaxu, barima e nu a falama, «Ala bara fa e yire. Ɲaxankatɛ na won bɛ, naxan maniyɛ mu toxi sinden. 8 Ɲaxankatɛ na won bɛ. Nde won kantama yi ala sɛnbɛmae ma? Alae nan yi ki naxee gbaloe mɔɔli birin dɔxɔ Misirakae ma gbengberenyi ma. 9 Filisitakae, won xa limaniya, won xa lu alɔ xɛmɛ sɛnbɛmae, alako Isirayilakae naxa nɔ won na alɔ won tan nɔxi e ra ki naxɛ. Won xa findi xɛmɛ sɛnbɛmae ra, won xa gere so!»

10 Filisitakae naxa gere ti, e naxa Isirayilakae bɔnbɔ han e gi e siga e xɔnyi. Na lɔxɔɛ kasarɛ naxa gbo. Isirayilaka mixi wulu tongo saxan naxa faxa na gere kui. 11 Filisitakae naxa Ala xa saatɛ kankira suxu, e fa Eli xa di firinyie Xofini nun Finexasi faxa.
