1 Samuel 4
1 And what Samuel had said happened to all Israel. And Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
Kendo wach Samuel nochopo ne jo-Israel duto. Noyudo jo-Israel odhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Jo-Israel ne ogo kambi Ebeneza to jo-Filistia to nogo kambi Afek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and the battle spread, and Israel was routed before the Philistines; and they slew in battle array in the field about four thousand men.
Jo-Filistia noyaro ne lweny mondo orom gi jo-Israel, kendo lweny nolandore. Jo-Israel ne olo gi jo-Filistia mine ginego ji madirom alufu angʼwen e paw lweny.
3 And the people came into the camp; and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch ourselves the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.
Kane jolweny odwogo e kambi, jodong Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye oseweyo jo-Filistia oloyowa kawuononi? Waomuru Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye man Shilo, mondo odhi kodwa kendo oreswa e lwet wasikwa.”
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there by the ark of the covenant of God.
Eka oganda nooro jomoko mondo odhi Shilo kendo negidwogo gi Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, mobedo e kind kerubi. Kendo yawuot Eli ariyo ma gin Hofni gi Finehas nobiro gi Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Nyasaye.
5 And it came to pass when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, that all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook.
Kane Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo e kambi, jo-Israel duto nokok matek ma piny noyiengni.
6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.
Jo-Filistia kane owinjo koko negipenjo niya, “Mano to koko manade magore e kambi mar jo-Hibrania?” Kane gifwenyo ni Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye osekel e kambi,
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.
jo-Filistia nobedo maluor kagiwacho niya, “Nyasaye osebiro e kambi. Wan gi chandruok! Gima kama pok otimore nyaka nene.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
To mano kaka wan gi masira! En ngʼa mabiro resowa e lwet nyiseche maratekegi? Gin nyiseche mane ogoyo jo-Misri gi masiche mayoreyore e thim.
9 Shew yourselves valiant and be men, ye Philistines, that ye may not have to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: be men, and fight.
Beduru motegno un jo-Filistia! Beduru gi chir kaka chwo ka ok kamano to udhi bedo wasumb jo-Hibrania mana kaka gisebedonu. Omiyo beduru jochir kendo ukedi!”
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was routed, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Omiyo jo-Filistia nokedo kendo, jo-Israel nolo mi ngʼato ka ngʼato noringo kadhi e hembe. Noneg ji mathoth ahinya! Noneg jolweny mag jo-Israel alufu piero adek.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye ne okaw, yawuot Eli ariyo Hofni gi Finehas ne onegi.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head.
Chiengʼ onogo ja-Benjamin moro noringo koa e lweny modhi Shilo, lepe ne oyiech kendo wiye notimo buru.
13 And when he came, behold, Eli was sitting upon the seat by the way-side watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.
Kane ochopo, nonwangʼo Eli kobet e kome e dir yo, ka orito nimar luoro nomake nikech Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye. Kane ngʼatno odonjo e dala mowacho gima ne osetimore, ji duto mane ni ei dala nomuoch gi nduru.
14 And Eli heard the noise of the crying, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came hastily, and told Eli.
Eli nowinjo nduru mopenjo niya, “Nduru magoreni nyiso angʼo?” Ngʼatno noreto piyo kodhi ir Eli ma hike
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
ne oseromo higni piero ochiko gaboro kendo wengene nosedinore makoro ok onen.
16 And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son?
Nowachone Eli niya, “Aringo ka awuok kar lweny mana kawuononi.” Eli nopenjo niya, “Angʼo motimore wuoda?”
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
Ngʼat mane okelo wach nodwoko niya, “Israel nolo gi jo-Filistia, kendo jolweny otho mangʼeny. Koda ka yawuoti ariyo, Hofni gi Finehas osetho, to Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye okaw modhi.”
18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Kane ohulo wach mar Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye, Eli nogore piny ataro koa e kom manobetie e bath rangach. Ngʼute ne otur mi notho, nikech ne oti kendo ne ochwe. Ne osetelo ne Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen.
19 And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
Chi wuode, ma jaod Finehas, ne nigi ich mochiegni nywol. To kane owinjo wach ni Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye osekaw kendo ni kwar mare gi chwore osetho, muoch nochako kaye mi nonywol, kata kamano nywolne nobiro marach.
20 And as she was dying, the women that stood by her said, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she did not answer, neither did she take it to heart.
Kane odwa tho, mon mane chole nowachone niya, “Kik iluor nikech isenywolo wuowi.” To ne ok odwokogi kata dewogi.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Nochako nyathi ma wuowino ni Ikabod kowacho niya, “Duongʼ oseweyo Israel, nikech negikawo Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye kod tho mar kwar mare gi mar chwore.”
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
Nowacho niya, “Duongʼ oseweyo Israel, nimar Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye osekaw.”
