1 Samuel 7
1 So the people of Kiriath-jearim came and took the Ark of the Lord. They put it in Abinadab's house on the hill. They dedicated his son Eleazar to take care of the Ark of the Lord.
Immay dagiti tattao ti Kiriat Jearim ket innalada ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ket impanda iti balay ni Abinadab iti turod. Dinutokanda ti putotna a lalaki a ni Eleazar a mangaywan iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh.
2 The Ark remained there in Kiriath-jearim from that day for a long time, in fact for twenty years. Everyone in Israel mourned and in repentance came back to the Lord.
Atiddog a tiempo a nagtalinaed iti Kiriat Jearim ti lakasa ti tulag, nagtalinaed sadiay iti duapulo a tawen. Nagdung-aw amin a balay ti Israel ket tinarigagayanda ti agsubli kenni Yahweh.
3 Then Samuel said to all of Israel, “If you sincerely wish to come back to the Lord, then get rid of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreth images you have, and commit yourselves to the Lord and only worship him, and he will save you from the Philistines.”
Kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, “No agsublikayo kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusoyo, ikkatenyo dagiti ganggannaet a dios ken Astarte manipud kadakayo, ibaw-ingyo dagiti pusoyo kenni Yahweh, ken isuna laeng ti dayawenyo, ket ispalennakayonto manipud kadagiti ima dagiti Filisteo.”
4 The people of Israel got rid of their Baals and Ashtoreth images and worshiped only the Lord.
Inikkat ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti Baal ken ti Astarte, ket ni Yahweh laeng ti dinaydayawda.
5 Then Samuel said, “Have all the people of Israel gather at Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord for you.”
Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Ummongenyo ti entero nga Israel idiay Mizpa, ket agkararagakto kenni Yahweh para kadakayo.”
6 Once they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. They fasted that day, and admitted, “We have sinned against the Lord.” Samuel became the leader of the Israelites at Mizpah.
Nagummongda idiay Mizpa, nagsakdoda iti danum ket imbukbokda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Nagayunarda iti dayta nga aldaw ket kinunada, “Nagbasolkami kenni Yahweh.” Sadiay ti nangrisutan ni Samuel kadagiti riri dagiti tattao ti Israel ket indauloanna dagiti tattao.
7 When the Philistines found out that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, their rulers led an attack on Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were terrified at what the Philistines might do.
Ita, idi nangngeg dagiti Filisteo a naguummong dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Mizpa, rinaut dagiti mangidadaulo iti Filistia ti Israel. Idi nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel daytoy, nagbutengda kadagiti Filisteo.
8 They told Samuel, “Don't stop pleading with the Lord our God for us so he can save us from the Philistines.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Samuel, “Saanka nga agsardeng nga umawag kenni Yahweh a Diostayo para kadatayo tapno isalakannatayo manipud kadagiti ima dagiti Filisteo.”
9 Samuel took a young lamb and presented it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out for help to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord responded.
Nangala ni Samuel iti agsussuso a karnero ket indatonna daytoy kenni Yahweh a kas sibubukel a daton a mapuoran. Kalpasanna, immasug ni Samuel kenni Yahweh para iti Israel, ket impangag ni Yahweh isuna.
10 While Samuel was presenting the burnt offering, the Philistines approached to attack Israel. But the Lord thundered extremely loudly against the Philistines that day, which totally confused them, and they were defeated as Israel watched.
Kabayatan nga idatdaton ni Samuel ti daton a mapuoran, immasideg dagiti Filisteo tapno darupenda ti Israel; ngem pinaggurruod ni Yahweh iti napigsa iti dayta nga aldaw a maibusor kadagiti Filisteo ken tinikawna ida ket inturongna ida iti sangoanan ti Israel.
11 Then the men of Israel ran out from Mizpah and chased them, killing them all the way to a place near Beth-car.
Pimmanaw dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud Mizpa, ket kinamatda dagiti Filisteo agingga idiay Bet-kar ket pinatayda ida.
12 After this Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen. He called it Ebenezer, saying, “The Lord helped us right up to here!”
Kalpasanna, nangala ni Samuel iti maysa a bato sana inkabil iti nagbaetan ti Mizpa ken Sen. Pinanagananna daytoy iti Ebenezer, a kinunana, “Tinulongannatayo ni Yahweh.”
13 In this way the Philistines were kept under control and did not invade Israel again. During Samuel's lifetime the Lord used his power against the Philistines.
Naabak ngarud dagiti Filisteo ket saanda a nakastrek iti beddeng ti Israel. Ti ima ni Yahweh ket maibusor kadagiti Filisteo kadagiti amin nga al-aldaw ni Samuel.
14 The towns the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, all the way from Ekron to Gath, and Israel also liberated the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Naisubli iti Israel dagiti ili nga innala dagiti Filisteo manipud iti Israel, manipud Ekron agingga idiay Gat; nasubli ti Israel ti masakupanda manipud kadagiti Filisteo. Ket adda kappia iti nagbaetan ti Israel ken dagiti Amorreo.
15 Samuel was Israel's leader for the rest of his life.
Nagbalin nga ukom ni Samuel iti Israel kadagiti amin nga al-aldaw ti biagna.
16 Every year he went around, going to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah. At all these places he ruled Israel.
Tinawen nga agsubli-subli isuna idiay Betel, Gilgal, ken idiay Mizpa. Rinisutna dagiti riri ti Israel kadagitoy amin a lugar.
17 Then he would return to Ramah because that was where he lived. He ruled Israel from there, and also built an altar to the Lord.
Kalpasanna, agsubli isuna idiay Rama, gapu ta sadiay ti ayan ti balayna; ket sadiay, rinisutna met dagiti riri ti Israel. Nangbangon met isuna sadiay iti altar para kenni Yahweh.
