1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.
Na ka haere nga tangata o Kiriata Tearimi ki te tiki i te aaka a Ihowa, a kawea ana e ratou ki te whare o Apinarapa i te pukepuke; i whakatapua hoki e ratou a Ereatara tana tama hei tiaki i te aaka a Ihowa.
2 And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.
A i te nohoanga o te aaka ki Kiriata Tearimi, i te mea kua maha nga ra; e rua tekau hoki nga tau; na ka tangi te whare katoa o Iharaira ki a Ihowa.
3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
Na ka korero a Hamuera ki te whare katoa o Iharaira, ka mea, Ki te mea e hoki katoa ana o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa, whakarerea nga atua ke i roto i a koutou, me Ahataroto ano hoki; whakapumautia hoki o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa, me mahi hoki ki a ia anake, a mana koutou e whakaora i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served Jehovah only.
Katahi ka whakarerea e nga tama a Iharaira nga Paara me Ahataroto, a mahi ana ki a Ihowa anake.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto Jehovah.
Na ka mea a Hamuera, Huihuia mai a Iharaira katoa ki Mihipa, a ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa mo koutou.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
Na ka huihui ratou ki Mihipa, a utuhia ana he wai, ringihia ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i nohopuku ano hoki i taua ra, a ka mea i reira, Kua hara matou ki a Ihowa. Na, ka whakawa a Hamuera mo nga tama a Iharaira ki Mihipa.
7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua huihui nga tama a Iharaira ki Mihipa, ka haere nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira. A, i te rongonga o nga tama a Iharaira, ka wehi ratou i nga Pirihitini.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
Na ka mea nga tama a Iharaira ki a Hamuera, Kei whakamutua tau karanga ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, mo matou, kia whakaorangia matou i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him.
Na tikina ana e Hamuera he reme, he mea ngote u, a whakaekea katoatia ana hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa. Na ka karanga a Hamuera ki a Ihowa mo Iharaira, a ka whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia.
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.
A, i a Hamuera e whakaeke ana i te tahunga tinana, ka whakatata mai nga Pirihitini ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira: otira nui atu te papatanga o ta Ihowa whatiri i taua ra ki runga ki nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana ratou; patua iho hoki i te aroaro o I haraira.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
Na ka puta nga tangata o Iharaira i roto i Mihipa, a whaia ana nga Pirihitini, tukitukia ana a tae noa ki raro, ki Petekara.
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us.
Na ka mau a Hamuera ki tetahi kohatu nui, a whakatakotoria ana ki waenganui o Mihipa, o Hene, a huaina iho tona ingoa, ko Epeneetere; i mea hoki, Ko Ihowa to tatou kaiawhina a tae noa mai ki tenei wa.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Heoi kua taea nga Pirihitini, kihai ano i haere mai i muri ki te rohe o Iharaira: i runga hoki i nga Pirihitini te ringa o Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hamuera.
14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
A i whakahokia atu ki a Iharaira nga pa i tongohia e nga Pirihitini i a Iharaira, a Ekerono tae noa ki Kata; i tangohia hoki nga rohe o ena pa e Iharaira i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini. A ka mau ta Iharaira rongo ki nga Amori.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
A i whakarite a Hamuera mo Iharaira i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
I taiawhio haere hoki ia i tenei tau, i tenei tau, ki Peteere, ki Kirikara, ki Mihipa, i whakarite ano mo Iharaira i aua wahi katoa.
17 And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar unto Jehovah.
A hoki ana ki Rana; i reira hoki tona whare, a whakarite ana mo Iharaira ki reira; i hanga hoki e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira.
