< 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.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Samuẹli tọ gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wá. Nísinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde láti lọ bá àwọn Filistini jà. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì pàgọ́ sí Ebeneseri àti àwọn Filistini ní Afeki.
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.
Àwọn Filistini mú ogun wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti pàdé Israẹli, nígbà tí ogun náà bẹ̀rẹ̀, àwọn Filistini ṣẹ́gun Israẹli wọ́n pa ẹgbàajì ọkùnrin nínú ogun náà.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà padà sí ibùdó, àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sì béèrè pé, “Èéṣe ti Olúwa fi mú kí àwọn Filistini ṣẹ́gun wa lónìí? Ẹ jẹ́ kí a gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa láti Ṣilo wá, kí ó ba à le lọ pẹ̀lú wa kí ó sì gbà wá là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa.”
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.
Nítorí náà a rán àwọn ènìyàn lọ sí Ṣilo, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wá, ẹni tí ń wà láàrín àwọn Kérúbù àti àwọn ọmọ Eli méjèèjì Hofini àti Finehasi wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nígbà tí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wá sí ibùdó, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì dìde láti kígbe tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ sì mì tìtì.
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.
Ní ìgbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ ariwo náà wọ́n béèrè pé, “Kí ni gbogbo ariwo yìí ní ibùdó Heberu?” Nígbà tí wọ́n mọ̀ wí pé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa ti wá sí ibùdó,
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.
àwọn Filistini sì bẹ̀rù pé, Ọlọ́run kékeré ti wọ ibùdó, wọ́n wí pé, “A wọ wàhálà, irú èyí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ rí.
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.
Àwa gbé! Ta ni yóò gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run alágbára yìí? Àwọn ni Ọlọ́run tí ó fi ìpọ́njú pa àwọn ará Ejibiti pẹ̀lú gbogbo àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ní aginjù.
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.
Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára Filistini, ẹ ṣe bí ọkùnrin, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò di ẹrú àwọn Heberu, bí wọ́n ti jẹ́ sí i yín. Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára ọkùnrin, kí ẹ sì jagun!”
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.
Nígbà náà àwọn Filistini jà, wọ́n sì ṣẹ́gun àwọn Israẹli olúkúlùkù sì sá padà sínú àgọ́ rẹ̀, wọ́n pa ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, àwọn ará Israẹli tí ó kú sí ogun sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọmọ-ogun orí ilẹ̀.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Wọ́n gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, àwọn ọmọkùnrin Eli méjèèjì sì kú, Hofini àti Finehasi.
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.
Lọ́jọ́ kan náà tí ará Benjamini kan sá wá láti ojú ogun tí ó sì lọ sí Ṣilo, aṣọ rẹ̀ sì fàya pẹ̀lú eruku lórí rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí ó sì dé, Eli sì jókòó sórí àga rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀nà, ó ń wò, ọkàn rẹ̀ kò balẹ̀ nítorí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà wọ ìlú tí ó sì sọ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, gbogbo ìlú bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọkún.
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 gbọ́ ìró ohùn ẹkún náà ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìtumọ̀ ariwo yìí?” Ọkùnrin náà sì sáré tọ Eli wá
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
Eli sì di ẹni méjìdínlọ́gọ́run ọdún, tí ojú rẹ̀ di bàìbàì, kò sì ríran mọ́.
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?
Ọkùnrin náà sọ fún Eli, “Mo ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ dé láti ibi ogun náà ni: mo sá láti ibi ogun náà wá lónìí.” Eli sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀ ọmọ mi?”
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.
Ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn náà wá dáhùn pé, “Israẹli sá níwájú àwọn Filistini, ìṣubú àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà sì pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi, wọ́n kú, wọ́n sì ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lọ.”
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.
Nígbà tí ó dárúkọ àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, Eli sì ṣubú sẹ́yìn kúrò lórí àga ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ bodè, ọrùn rẹ̀ ṣẹ́, ó sì kú, nítorí tí ó jẹ́ arúgbó ọkùnrin, ó sì tóbi, ó ti darí àwọn Israẹli fún ogójì ọdún.
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.
Aya ọmọ rẹ̀, ìyàwó Finehasi, ó lóyún ó súnmọ́ àkókò àti bí. Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ ìròyìn náà wí pé wọ́n ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lọ àti wí pé baba ọkọ rẹ̀ àti ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kú, ó rọbí ó sì bímọ, ó sì borí ìrora ìrọbí náà.
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.
Bí ó ti ń kú lọ, obìnrin tí ó dúró tì í wí pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù; nítorí o ti bí ọmọ ọkùnrin.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ̀rọ̀ tàbí kọ ibi ara sí i.
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.
Ó sì pe ọmọ náà ní Ikabodu, wí pé, “Kò sí ògo fún Israẹli mọ́,” nítorí tí wọ́n ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àti ikú baba ọkọ rẹ̀ àti ti ọkọ rẹ̀.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
Ó si wí pé, “Ògo kò sí fún Israẹli mọ́, nítorí ti a ti gbá àpótí Ọlọ́run.”
