⁸A yi a yabi, a naxa, “N tan na a ra. Siga, i sa falan ti i kanna xa, i naxa, ‘Eli be.’ ”

⁹Abadi yi a maxɔdin, a naxa, “N hakɛn mundun ligaxi, alogo i xa n tan, i ya walikɛɛn so Axabi yii, a xa n faxa?

¹⁰N bata n kɔlɔ habadan Alatala yi, siya mi na, yamana mi na, n kanna mi xɛraan nasigaxi dɛnaxan yi i fendeni, e na a fala a xa, a i mi na yi, a yi yamanan nun siyaan nakɔlɔma nɛn xa e mi i toxi.

¹¹Iki, i bata yamarin fi n ma a n xa sa a fala n kanna xa a Eli be.

¹⁴Awa, iki, i a falama n xa a n xa a fala n kanna xa a Eli be yi. A n faxama nɛn!”

¹⁵Koni Eli yi a yabi, a naxa, “N bata n kɔlɔ habadan Alatala yi, Alatala Sɛnbɛn Birin Kanna, n naxan batuma, n bata i xaxili ragidi, to yɛtɛni n tima nɛn Axabi yɛtagi.”

¹⁶Abadi yi siga Axabi ralandeni, feen naxanye danguxi, a ne yɛba a xa. Axabi yi siga Eli yɛtagi.

¹⁷Axabi to Eli to tun, a yi a fala a xa, a naxa, “I tan na a ra ba, i tan naxan tɔrɔyaan nafaxi Isirayila ma?”

¹⁸Eli yi a yabi, a naxa, “N mi Isirayila tɔrɛ mumɛ! I tan nun i ya denbayaan na a ra, amasɔtɔ ɛ bata tondi Alatalaa yamarine suxɛ, ɛ yi Baali suxurene batu.

¹⁹Iki Isirayila kaane birin malan n fɛma, Karemele geyaan fari, e nun Baali ki muxu kɛmɛ naanin tonge suulunne, e nun Asera ki muxu kɛmɛ naaninna naxanye e dɛgema Yesabele a tabanla ra.”

²⁰Axabi yi xɛrane rasiga Isirayila muxune birin ma, a yi suxure kiine malan Karemele geyaan fari.

²¹Nayi, Eli yi a maso yamaan birin na, a fala e xa, a naxa, “Ɛ luma ɛ yɛtɛ yifuyɛ han waxatin mundun yi? Xa Alatala nan Ala ra, ɛ bira a fɔxɔ ra. Koni, xa Baali na a ra, ɛ bira na fan fɔxɔ ra.” Yamaan mi a yabi sese ra.

²²Eli yi a fala yamaan xa, a naxa, “N kedenna nan luxi Alatalaa nabine ra. Baali ki muxun kɛmɛ naanin tonge suulun nan be.

²³Ɛ xa tura firin so nxu yii, Baali ki muxune xa tura keden sugandi e yɛtɛ xa, e yi a yisɛgɛ, e a sa yegene fari, hali tɛɛ mi sa, n fan yi turaan bonni sɛgɛ, n yi a sa yegene fari, hali tɛɛ mi sa.

²⁴E xa e ala maxandi a xinla ra, n fan yi Alatala maxandi a xinla ra. Ala sensenna maxandine rasuxɛ nɛn a tɛɛn nadɛgɛ.” Yamaan birin yi a fala, e naxa, “Nxu tinxi.”

²⁵Nayi, Eli yi a fala Baali ki muxune xa, a naxa, “Ɛ tura keden sugandi, ɛ singe yi a yitɔn, amasɔtɔ ɛ tan nan wuya. Na xanbi ra, ɛ yi ɛ ala maxandi a xinla ra, koni ɛ nama tɛɛ sa ɛ yegene yi.”

²⁶E turaan naxan so Baali ki muxune yii, e yi na tongo, e yi a yitɔn saraxan na, e yi Baali maxandi a xinla ra keli xɔtɔnni han yanyi tagini saraxan gan feen na. E yi sɔnxɔ, e naxa, “Baali nxu yabi!” E yi faren bodonma e kiden yɛtagi e naxan ti, koni e mi yabi xui sɔtɔ.

²⁷Yanyi tagin masoni, Eli yi lu e magelɛ, a naxa, “Ɛ gbelegbele ɲaxi ra! Ala to a tan na, yanyina nde i ya lima, a a mirima fena nde ma, hanma a wali gbɛtɛ ra, xa na mi a ra, a sa safarin na, hanma a xima, a xulunma nɛn.”

²⁸Baali ki muxune yi gbelegbele e xuini texin na pore, e lu e maxɔlɛ silanfanne nun tanbane ra han wunli mini e fatine ma alo e namunna kiina.

²⁹Yanyi tagin to dangu, e lu feene falɛ han ɲinbanna saraxa ba waxatini. Koni Baali xui mi mɛ, e mi yabi sɔtɔ a ra, a taxamaseri mi to.

³⁰Nayi, Eli yi a fala yamaan birin xa, a naxa, “Ɛ maso n na.” Yamaan birin yi e maso a ra. Eli yi Alatalaa saraxa ganden nafala, naxan bata yi kala.

³¹A yi gɛmɛ fu nun firin tongo Yaxubaa dii xɛmɛne bɔnsɔn fu nun firinne yatɛna. Alatala bata yi falani ito ti Yaxuba naxan xa, a naxa, “I xili bama nɛn Isirayila.”

³²Eli yi saraxa ganden nafala Alatala xa na gɛmɛ fu nun firinne ra. A yi folon ge saraxa ganden nabilinni, igen litiri tonge saxan ɲɔxɔn nɔɛ sɛ naxan kui.

³³A yi yegene yɛlan, a turani xaba a dungi dungin na, a yi a sa yegene fari.

³⁴A mɔn yi a fala, a naxa, “Ɛ fɛɲɛ naanin nafe igen na, ɛ yi a bɔxɔn saraxan nun yegene fari.” A yi a fala, a naxa, “Ɛ mɔn xa a liga keden.” E mɔn yi a liga a firindeni. A yi a fala, a naxa, “Ɛ mɔn xa a liga a saxandeni.” E mɔn yi a liga a saxandeni.

³⁵Igen yi dɔxɔ yire sariɲanxin nabilinni han a folon nafe.

³⁶Saraxan yi daxa a ba waxatin naxan yi, Nabi Eli yi a maso, a fala, a naxa, “Alatala, Iburahima nun Isiyaga nun Isirayilaa Ala. Muxune xa a kolon to, a i tan nan Ala ra Isirayila yi, a i ya walikɛɛn nan n na, a n feni ito ngaan ligaxi i ya falan xɔn.

³⁷N yabi, Alatala, n yabi, alogo yamani ito xa a kolon a i tan, Alatala nan Ala ra. Na kiini, i yi a liga, e tubi i ma e bɔɲɛni.”

³⁸Alatalaa tɛɛn yi godo, saraxan nun yegene nun gɛmɛne nun bɔxɔna, a yi e birin gan, igen naxan yi folon na, a na xɔri.
