١ 1 فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ وَأَصْعَدُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِينَادَابَ فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ، وَقَدَّسُوا أَلِعَازَارَ ٱبْنَهُ لِأَجْلِ حِرَاسَةِ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And it was doon, fro which dai `the arke of the Lord dwellide in Caryathiarym, daies weren multiplied; for the twentithe yeer was now, after that Samuel bigan to teche the puple; and al Israel restide aftir the Lord.

٣ 3 وَكَلَّمَ صَمُوئِيلُ كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ رَاجِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱنْزِعُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ وَٱلْعَشْتَارُوثَ مِنْ وَسْطِكُمْ، وَأَعِدُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَحْدَهُ، فَيُنْقِذَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».

Forsothe Samuel spak to al the hows of Israel, and seide, If in al youre herte ye turnen ayen to the Lord, do ye awei alien goddis, Balym and Astaroth, fro the myddis of you; and make ye redi youre hertis to the Lord, and serue ye hym aloone; and he schal delyuere you fro the hond of Filisteis.

٤ 4 فَنَزَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلْعَشْتَارُوثَ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَحْدَهُ.

Therfor the sones of Israel diden awey Baalym and Astoroth, and serueden the Lord aloone.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «ٱجْمَعُوا كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ فَأُصَلِّيَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ»

Forsothe Samuel seide, Gadere ye al Israel in to Masphat, that Y preie the Lord for you.

٦ 6 فَٱجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ وَٱسْتَقَوْا مَاءً وَسَكَبُوهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَصَامُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَقَالُوا هُنَاكَ: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ». وَقَضَى صَمُوئِيلُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

And thei camen togidere in to Masphat, and thei drowen watir, and shedden out in the `siyt of the Lord; and thei fastiden in that day, and seiden, Lord, we synneden to thee. And Samuel demyde the sones of Israel in Masphat.

٧ 7 وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ، فَصَعِدَ أَقْطَابُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَافُوا مِنَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

And Filisteis herden that the sones of Israel weren gaderid in Masphat; and the princes of Filisteis stieden to Israel. And whanne the sones of Israel hadden herd this, thei dredden of the face of Filisteis.

٨ 8 وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «لَا تَكُفَّ عَنِ ٱلصُّرَاخِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا فَيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».

And `thei seiden to Samuel, Ceesse thou not to crye for vs to oure Lord God, that he saue vs fro the `hoond of Filisteis.

٩ 9 فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَمَلًا رَضِيعًا وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً بِتَمَامِهِ لِلرَّبِّ، وَصَرَخَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Forsothe Samuel took o soukynge lomb, and offride that hool in to brent sacrifice to the Lord. And Samuel criede to the Lord for Israel; and the Lord herde hym.

١٠ 10 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُصْعِدُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ، تَقَدَّمَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَزْعَجَهُمْ، فَٱنْكَسَرُوا أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Forsothe it was doon, whanne Samuel offryde brent sacrifice, that Filisteis bigunnen batel ayens Israel. Sotheli the Lord thundride with greet thundur in that dai on Filisteis, and made hem aferd; and thei weren slayn of the sones of Israel.

١١ 11 وَخَرَجَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ وَتَبِعُوا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ بَيْتِ كَارٍ.

And the sones of Israel yeden out of Masphat, and pursueden Filisteis, and smytiden hem `til to the place that was vndur Bethachar.

١٢ 12 فَأَخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ حَجَرًا وَنَصَبَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ وَٱلسِّنِّ، وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «حَجَرَ ٱلْمَعُونَةِ» وَقَالَ: «إِلَى هُنَا أَعَانَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

Forsothe Samuel took o stoon, and puttide it bitwixe Masphat, and bitwixe Sen; and he clepide the name of that place The stoon of help. And he seide, Hidir to the Lord helpide vs.

And Filisteis weren maad low, and addiden no more to come in to the termes of Israel. And so the `hond of the Lord was maad on Filisteis in alle the daies of Samuel.

١٤ 14 وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ عَقْرُونَ إِلَى جَتَّ. وَٱسْتَخْلَصَ إِسْرَائِيلُ تُخُومَهَا مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ صُلْحٌ بَيْنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ.

And the citees whiche the Filisteis token fro Israel, weren yoldun to Israel, fro Accaron `til to Geth and `hise termes; and the Lord delyuerede Israel fro the hond of Filisteis; and pees was bitwixe Israel and Ammorrey.
