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.
In pacl se inge mwet Philistia elos fahsreni in som ac mweun lain mwet Israel, ac mwet Israel elos akola pac in lainulos. Mwet Israel elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos in acn Ebenezer, ac mwet Philistia elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos in acn Aphek.
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.
Mwet Philistia elos mutawauk lain mwet Israel, ac tukun mweun upa lalos, mwet Philistia elos kutangla mwet Israel, ac uniya akuran akosr tausin mwet Israel yen elos mweun we.
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.
Ke mwet lula sin mwet Israel elos foloko nu nien aktuktuk lalos, mwet kol lalos asiyuki ac fahk, “Efu ku LEUM GOD El lela mwet Philistia inge in kutangkutla misenge? Wona kut in som use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD Shiloh me, tuh Elan kasrekut ac molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr.”
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.
Na elos supwala kutu mwet nu Shiloh in tuh use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD Kulana, su nien muta lal oan fin cherub lukwa. Wen luo natul Eli, Hophni ac Phinehas, eltal wi na Tuptup in Wuleang tuku.
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.
Ke Tuptup in Wuleang tuku sun nien aktuktuk, mwet Israel nukewa elos sala ke pusren engan lulap, oru infohk uh kusrusryak.
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.
Ke mwet Philistia elos lohng pusren sasa elos fahk, “Mea kalmen sa lulap se ma tuku liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel inge?” Ke elos lohng lah Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD sun acn we,
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.
elos sangeng ac fahk, “Sie god el tuku oasr nien aktuktuk lalos ah! Kut ac wanginla! Tufahna pacl se in sikyak lumah ouinge nu sesr oemeet me!
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.
Su ku in molikutla liki god ku lalos inge? Pa inge god lalos ma tuh uniya mwet Egypt yen mwesis ah!
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.
Mwet Philistia, kowos in pulaikna! Kowos in mweun oana mukul. Kowos fin tia, na kowos ac tufah mwet kohs nu sin mwet Hebrew, oana ke elos tuh mwet kohs nu sesr ah. Ke ma inge, kowos mweun oana mukul!”
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.
Mwet Philistia elos mweun arulana upa, ac elos kutangla mwet Israel, ac mwet Israel elos kaing nu acn selos. Mwet puspis anwuki. Oasr tausin tolngoul mwet mweun lun Israel misa.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD sruhu, ac anwuki pac Hophni ac Phinehas, wen luo natul Eli.
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.
Sie mukul in sruf lal Benjamin el kasrusr tuku liki nien mweun uh nu Shiloh, ac sun acn we ke len sacna. El seya nuknuk lal ac sang kutkut nu fin sifal in akkalemye asor lal.
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.
Eli el nunku yohk ke Tuptup in Wuleang, ac el mutana ngetnget fin mwe muta lal sisken inkanek ah. Ke mwet sac el tuku ac sulkakin pweng inge nu in siti uh, na mwet nukewa elos wowoyak ke sangeng.
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.
Ke Eli el lohng pusren mwet uh el siyuk, “Mea kalmen wowon ingan?” Na mwet sac sulaklak nu yorol ac fahkak ma sikyak nu sel. (
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
Eli el yac eungoul oalkosr in pacl se inge, ac apkuran in kunla na pwaye mutal.)
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?
Na mwet sac fahk, “Nga kaingla liki nien mweun uh, ac kasrusr na oe we me misenge.” Ac Eli el siyuk sel, “Wen nutik, fuka mweun ah?”
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.
Mwet sac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Philistia. Kut kuf na pwaye! Oayapa anwuki wen luo nutum, Hophni ac Phinehas, ac Tuptup in Wuleang lun God sruhu!”
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.
Ke pacl se mwet sac fahk ke Tuptup in Wuleang, na Eli el topla nu tok liki mwe muta lal sisken mutunpot in siti uh. El arulana matu ac toasr ke lupal, pwanang kaptelik inkawal ac el misa. El mwet kol fin Israel ke lusen yac angngaul.
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.
Mutan kial Phinehas, wen natul Eli, el pitutu ac apkuran in isusla. Ke el lohng lah sruhu Tuptup in Wuleang lun God, ac ke papa talupal oayapa mukul tumal ah tukeni misa, na ngal in isus lal tuyang, ac el isusla.
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.
Ke el keok ac apkuran in misa, mutan in akisus lal elos fahk nu sel, “Akkeye kom, tuh kom oswela tari wen se!” Tusruktu el tiana lohang, ku topkolos.
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.
El sang inen tulik sac Ichabod, su kalmah “Wolana lun God som liki Israel,” ke sripen sruhu Tuptup in Wuleang, oayapa papa talupal ac mukul tumal tukenina misa.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
El fahk mu, “Wolana lun God fahsr liki Israel mweyen Tuptup in Wuleang lun God sruhu.”
