1 Sa:miuele 4
1 Amo esoha Filisidini fi dunu ilia da Isala: ili fi dunuma gegena masusa: wa: le asi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da dabe gegemusa: gilisilalu. Isala: ili dunu ilia Ebenisa soge gadenene ilia ha wa: i fisisu gagui. Amola Filisidini dunu ilia da A: ifege moilai bai bagadega ha wa: i fisisu gagui.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
2 Filisidini dunu ilia da Isala: ili dunuma doagala: le, bagadewane susa: ili gegei. Gegei da geala asili, fa: no ba: loba, Isala: ili dunu da bagadewane fefedei gia: i ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da 4000 agoane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.
And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
3 Amalalu, Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu hame bogoi esalebe da Isala: ili ilia ha wa: i fisisu bu manoba, Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilia da amane sia: i, “Abuliba: le Hina Gode da Filisidini dunu ninima hasalasima: ne wali logo doasibala: ? Be wali ninia da Siailou moilaiga asili, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili lale, amalu ninia da amo gisawene gilisili gegena masunu. Amasea, Hina Gode da ninia ha lai ninima mae hasalasima: ne gaga: mu.”
And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 Amaiba: le, ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili (amo ea bai da fedege Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea gadodafa ida: iwane Fisu), amo gisa misa: ne asunasi. Ilia da amo Gagili gisa manoba, Ilai egefela Hofinai amola Finia: se da oule misi.
So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da gisa misini doaga: loba, Isala: ili dunu huluane da ha: giwane nodone wele sia: beba: le, osobo bagade da fogoi.
And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
6 Filisidini dunu ilia da Hina Godema nodosu sia: amo huhududabe agoai amo nababeba: le, amane sia: i, “Nabima! Hibulu ha wa: i fisisu huhududabe goma. Gomo da abolebela: ?” Ilia da nabagaloba Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Gagili da Hibulu ha wa: i fisisu gisa misi sia: be nababeba: le,
And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 ilia da bagade beda: i galu. Ilia da amane sia: i, ‘gode’ afae da ilia ha wa: i fisisuga doaga: i dagoi. Ninimone da wadela: mu wea! Agoaiwane hou ninima da musa: hame doaga: i.
And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
8 Ilia ‘gode’lali da gasa bagadeba: le, ninimone da nowa gaga: ma: bela: ? Amo ‘gode’lali da hafoga: i sogega Idibidi dunu huluane medole legei.
Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
9 Filisidini dunu! Gasa fima: i! Hame amaiada, Hibulu dunu ilia da ninia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalebe ba: i. Amo defele ninia da ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai esaloma: bela: ? Amasa: besa: gini gasa fili, nimiwane gegema!”
Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
10 Filisidini dunu ili da gasa filiwane gegebeba: le, Isala: ili dunu osa: la heda: i dagoi. Isala: ili dunu mogili da ilia diasuga hobeale afia: i. Amalu ba: loba, dunu fai bogogia: i da bagadedafa ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da ba: loba, 30,000 agoane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.
So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 Filisidini dunu da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili samogei dagoi. Amola Ilai egefela Hofenai amola Finia: se, ela da ele galu medole legei dagoi ba: i.
And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
12 Bediamini fi dunu afae da gegesu soge fisili, amogalamusu hobeale hehenaia ahoana, Siailou moilaiga doaga: i. Ea da: i dioi dawa: digima: ne, e da abula gadelai amola dialuma da: iya osobo duduli gala: i ba: i.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
13 E da doaga: le ba: loba, Ilai da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo fawane bagade dada: wa: sa, logo bega: hi fisu fafai da: iya fili, si godonasia sosodosa esalebe ba: i. Amo dunu da amo fefedei sia: moilai fi dunuma sisia: i lai. Amalalu, dunu huluane beda: ga bulili didigia: i.
And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
14 Ilai da amo bulibi nababeba: le, e da amane adole ba: i, “Gomo da abuliga sia: gomo wali heda: sala: ?” Amo dunu da Ilaima amo sia: adomusa: hedolowane hehenai.
And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
15 (Ilai da ode98gadenenewane gidigimuba: le, ea si da gadenenewane dofoidafa.)
Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
16 Amo dunu da Ilaima amane sia: i, “Na da gegenanua amonini wali hobeale misi wea.” Ilai da ema adole ba: i, “Nagofe! Abuli hamoi!”
And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
17 Sia: adola ahoasu dunu da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu da Filisidini dunu amoba: le hobeale afia: i. Amo gegesu da ninima hasalasidafa. Amogalu, dia gofela Hofenai amola Finia: sela da fai bogoi dagoi, amola Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili da ha lai dunuga fedei dagoi ba: i.”
And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
18 Be amo dunu da Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili amo ha lai dunuga fedei sia: beba: le, Ilai da baliguduli muwane sa: ili, logo holei bega: gala: la sa: i. E da da: i hamoi amola basuluiba: le, ea mugi dugini gala: le, e bogoi. E da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini ode 40 agoane bisisu dunu esalu.
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
19 Ilai egefe Finia: se idua da abula aguiba: le, mano lalelegemu da gadenei ba: i. E da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo da fedelai dagoi amola ea nawi Ilai amola egoa Finia: se da bogoi dagoi nababeba: le, e da hedolowane asili, mano lamusa: se nabalu, mano lalelegei.
And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
20 E da sega bogolaloba, ea fidisu uda ilia ema amane sia: i, “Di mae beda: ma! Be di da dunu mano lalelegei dagoi.” Be e da mae nabawene amola ilia sia: hame alofei.
And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
21 E da mano amo ea dio Igabode asuli. Amo dio ea dawa: loma: ne da “Gode Ea hadigi da Isala: ili fi fisiagai.” Bai Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da ha lai dunuga fedei dagoi, amola ea nawi amola egoa da bogoi, amo e dawa: beba: le sia: i.
And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
22 E amane sia: i, “Gode Ea hadigi da Isala: ili fi fisiagai dagoi. Bai Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da fedei dagoi ba: i.”
And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
