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 Samuel's words were communicated to all the Israelites. The Israelites marched out to confront the Philistines in battle. They set up camp at Ebenezer, while the Philistines set up camp at Aphek.
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.
The Philistines attacked the Israelites in formation, and when the battle spread, the Philistines defeated the Israelites, killing 4,000 of them on the battlefield.
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.”
When the Israelite army returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the Lord defeat us before Philistines today? Let's go and get the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Shiloh, so that he can accompany us and save us from 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 army sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the Ark of the Lord Almighty's Agreement, he who sits on his throne between the cherubim. Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the Ark of the God's Agreement.
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.
When the Ark of the Lord's Agreement arrived in the camp, all the Israelites gave such a loud shout it made the ground shake.
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,
When the Philistines heard all the shouting, they asked, “What's the meaning of this shouting in the Israelite camp?” When they found out that the Ark of the Lord had arrived in 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.
the Philistines were afraid. “A god has arrived in the camp,” they said. “We're in trouble, for nothing like this has happened before.
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.
This is disaster for us! Who will save us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who attacked the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
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!”
Be brave, and fight like real men, Philistines! Otherwise you'll end up as slaves to the Israelites, just as they were your slaves. Now be real men 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 the Israelites were defeated—every man ran away home. The death toll was very large: thirty thousand of the Israelite infantry were killed.
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.
The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, Eli's two sons, died.
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.
A man from the tribe of Benjamin ran from the battle that day all the way to Shiloh. His clothes were torn and he had dirt on his head.
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.
When he arrived, Eli was sitting there on his chair by the road, watching out for news because he was worried about the Ark of God. When the man came into town and gave his report, the whole town cried out loud.
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.
Eli heard the crying and asked, “What's all this noise?” The man rushed over to Eli and told him what had happened.
15 (Ilai da ode98gadenenewane gidigimuba: le, ea si da gadenenewane dofoidafa.)
Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed because he couldn't 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!”
“I've just come from the battle,” the man said. “I ran away from it today.” “What happened, my son?” Eli asked.
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.”
“Israel ran away from the Philistines—we were badly defeated,” the messenger replied. “Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed, and the Ark of God has been captured.”
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.
As soon as the Ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the town gate. Since he was old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. Eli had been Israel's leader for 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.
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news that the Ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but her labor pains were too strong.
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.
Just before she died, the women caring for her said, “Don't give up—you have given birth to a son!” But she didn't answer or give any response.
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.
She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has left Israel,” because Ark of God had been captured, and her father-in-law and her husband had died.
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.”
She said, “The glory has left Israel, for the Ark of God has been captured.”
