¹Umphongolo kaJehova wawusezweni lamaFilisti izinyanga eziyisikhombisa.

²AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nabahlola imihlola, athi: “Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na?” sitshele ukuthi sizoyithumela ngani endaweni yayo.

³Bathi: “Uma niwumukisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ningawuthumi uze; kodwa noma kunjalo nimbuyisele umnikelo wecala; khona-ke niyakuphiliswa, futhi nizokwaziwa kini ukuthi kungani isandla sakhe singasuswanga kini.

⁴Base bethi: “Uyini umnikelo wecala ukuba siwubuyisele kuye na?” Athi: Amankonjane amahlanu egolide namagundane ayisihlanu egolide njengomumo wezikhulu zamaFilisti, ngokuba isifo sinye sasiphezu kwenu nonke namakhosi enu.

⁵Ngalokho niyakuzenzela izithombe zabagayi benu nemifanekiso yamagundane enu abhubhisa izwe; futhi kumelwe nimkhazimulise uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; mhlawumbe angasenza lula isandla sakhe kini, nakonkulunkulu benu, nasezweni lenu.

⁶Pho-ke niyenzelani lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengalokho abaseGibithe noFaro bazenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabo na? Lapho esebenza ngokuyisimangaliso phakathi kwabo, abavumelanga yini abantu ukuthi banyakaze futhi basuke?

⁷Manje yenzani inqola entsha, nithathe izinkomo ezimbili ezincelisayo ezingaboshelwa ejokeni, nizibophe enqoleni, nibuyisele amathole azo ekhaya.

⁸Thathani umphongolo kaJehova, niwubeke enqoleni; izinto zegolide enizibuyisela kuye njengomnikelo wecala, nizibeke ebhokisini eliseduze kwalo; futhi uyimukise, ukuze ihambe.

⁹Bhekani, uma ikhuphuka ngendlela isuka ogwini lwakubo, iye eBeti Shemeshi, usenze lobu bubi obukhulu; kepha uma kungenjalo, sizokwazi ukuthi akusona isandla sakhe esisishayileyo; kwakuyithuba elenzeke kithi.

¹⁰Amadoda enza njalo; athatha izinkomo ezimbili ezanyisayo, azibophela enqoleni, azivalela amathole azo endlini.

¹¹Bawubeka umphongolo kaJehova enqoleni, nebhokisi elinamagundane egolide nemifanekiso yezimpondo zabo eziloliwe.

¹²Izinkomo zahamba ngendlela eqondile endleleni yaseBeti Shemeshi, zahamba ngendlela ephakeme, zisatshekile, aziphendukanga ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo; izikhulu zamaFilisti zawalandela, zaze zafika emkhawulweni waseBeti Shemeshi.

¹³Abantu baseBeti Shemeshi babevuna ukolweni esigodini, baphakamisa amehlo abo, bawubona umphongolo, bathokoza ukuwubona.

¹⁴Inqola yafika ensimini kaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemi, yema khona lapho kwakukhona itshe elikhulu; bacanda izinkuni zenqola, banikela ngezinkomo zaba ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova.

¹⁵AmaLevi ehlisa umphongolo kaJehova nebhokisi elalinawo, okwakukhona kuwo izinto zegolide, awubeka phezu kwetshe elikhulu; abantu baseBeti Shemeshi banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo kuJehova ngalona lolo suku.

¹⁶Lapho izikhulu ezinhlanu zamaFilisti zikubona lokho, zabuyela e-Ekroni ngalolo suku.

¹⁷Lawa angamasikela egolide amaFilisti awabuyisela kuJehova njengomnikelo wecala; ele-Ashidodi elilodwa, ngeleGaza elilodwa, ngele-Ashikeloni elilodwa, ngeleGati elilodwa, ngele-Ekroni elilodwa;

¹⁸namagundane egolide ngokwesibalo semizi yonke yamaFilisti eyezikhulu eziyisihlanu, imizi ebiyelweyo neyasemaphandleni, kwaze kwaba etsheni elikhulu lika-Abela abawubeka phezu kwalo umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova. NKOSI itshe elisekhona nanamuhla esiqeshini sezwe likaJoshuwa waseBeti Shemi.

¹⁹Wabulala abantu baseBeti Shemeshi, ngokuba babebheke emphongolweni kaJehova, yebo, wabulala abantu abangamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu; isibhicongo.

²⁰Base bethi abantu baseBeti Shemeshi: “Ngubani ongema phambi kwalo Jehova uNkulunkulu ongcwele na?” futhi uyokwenyukela kubani esuka kithi?

²¹Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi ukuthi: “AmaFilisti awubuyisile umphongolo kaJehova; yehla uzoyicosha kuwe.
