1Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmarũire na Isiraeli; nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmoorĩra, na aingĩ ao makĩũragĩrwo Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
2Afilisti makĩhatĩrĩria Saũlũ na ariũ ake mũno, na makĩũraga ariũ ake Jonathani, na Abinadabu, na Maliki-Shua.
3Na rĩrĩ, mbaara nĩyaneneheire Saũlũ mũno, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikia a mĩguĩ maamũkinyĩrire, makĩmũguraria.
4Nake Saũlũ akĩĩra mũkuui wa indo ciake cia mbaara atĩrĩ, “Comora rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora ũũthece naruo, nĩguo andũ aya mataruaga matigooke kũnyararithia.” No mũndũ ũcio mũkuui wa indo ciake cia mbaara agĩĩtigĩra mũno, akĩrega gwĩka ũguo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩoya rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, akĩrũgwĩra.

7Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ kĩanda moonire atĩ ita nĩrĩorĩte, na atĩ Saũlũ na ariũ ake nĩmakuĩte-rĩ, magĩtiganĩria matũũra mao, makĩũra; nao Afilisti magĩthiĩ magĩikara kuo.
8Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Afilisti magĩthiĩ gũcuuma ciimba, magĩkora Saũlũ na ariũ ake makuĩte kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
9Makĩmũbora, na magĩkuua mũtwe wake, na indo ciake cia mbaara; magĩcooka magĩtũma andũ mathiĩ bũrũri wothe wa Afilisti makaanĩrĩre ũhoro ũcio kũrĩ mĩhianano yao ya kũhooywo, na kũrĩ andũ ao.
10Makĩiga indo cia Saũlũ cia mbaara thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya ngai ciao, naguo mũtwe wake makĩwoherera kũu hekarũ ya Dagoni.
11No rĩrĩa andũ a Jabeshi-Gileadi maaiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Afilisti meekĩte Saũlũ-rĩ,
12njamba ciao cia ita igĩthiĩ, igĩkuua mĩĩrĩ ya Saũlũ na ya ariũ ake, ikĩmĩrehe Jabeshi. Magĩcooka magĩthika mahĩndĩ mao gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ ũrĩa mũnene kũu Jabeshi, na makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio mĩthenya mũgwanja.
13Saũlũ aakuire nĩ ũndũ ndaarĩ mwĩhokeku kũrĩ Jehova; ndaamenyereire kiugo kĩa Jehova, o na nĩahooire kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ mũragũri atĩ amũtongorie,
