1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
Na puta mai ana te kupu a Hamuera ki a Iharaira katoa. Na ka haere a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a ka noho a puni ki Epeneetere; a i noho te puni o nga Pirihitini ki Apeke.
2 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
Na ka whakaritea e nga Pirihitini a ratou ngohi hei whawhai ki a Iharaira: a ka horapa haere te whawhai, na ka patua a Iharaira e nga Pirihitini: e wha mano tangata o te ope i patua ki te parae.
3 And the people come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves us out of the hand of our enemies.”
A, no te taenga o nga tangata ki te puni, ka mea nga kaumatua o Iharaira, He aha tatou i patua ai e Ihowa inaianei i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini? Me tiki atu ki a tatou te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i Hiro, kia tae mai ki roto i a tatou, hei whaka ora i a tatou i te ringa o o tatou hoariri.
4 And the people send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
Heoi ka tonoa e te iwi ki Hiro, a ka mauria mai i reira te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa o nga mano e noho nei i runga i nga kerupima: i reira ano nga tama tokorua a Eri, a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa.
5 And it comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.
A, i te taenga mai o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki te puni, ka hamama a Iharaira katoa, he nui te hamama, a ngateri ana te whenua.
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has come into the camp.
A ka rongo nga Pirihitini i te reo e hamama ana, ka mea ratou, He reo aha tenei e nui nei te hamama i te puni o nga Hiperu? Na ka mohio ratou kua tae mai te aaka a Ihowa ki te puni.
7 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this before.
Na ka wehi nga Pirihitini; i mea hoki, Kua tae te Atua ki roto i te puni. Na ka mea ratou, Aue, te mate mo tatou! kahore hoki he mea penei me tenei i mua ake nei.
8 Woe to us, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Aue, te mate mo tatou! ma wai tatou e whakaora i roto i te ringa o enei atua nui? ko nga atua enei nana nga whakapanga mate katoa i patua ai nga Ihipiana i te koraha.
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”
Kia maia, whakatane i a koutou, e nga Pirihitini, kei whakataurerekatia koutou e nga Hiperu, kei peratia me ratou i whakataurerekatia na e koutou: na, me whakatane koutou, me whawhai.
10 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;
Na ka whawhai nga Pirihitini, a patua ana a Iharaira, a rere ana ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti: he tino nui rawa te parekua; e toru tekau mano hoki o Iharaira i hinga, he hunga haere raro.
11 and the Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
Na riro ana te aaka a te Atua; i mate hoki a Hoponi raua ko Pinehaha, nga tama tokorua a Eri.
12 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head;
Na ka rere tetahi tangata o Pineamine i te ope, tae tonu atu ki Hiro i taua ra ano, he mea haehae ona kakahu, he oneone hoki i runga i tona matenga.
13 and he comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries out.
A, no tona taenga, na e noho ana a Eri i runga i te nohoanga i te taha o te ara, e tutei atu ana: he pawera hoki no tona ngakau mo te aaka a te Atua. A ka tae taua tangata ki te pa, ka korero, na hamama katoa ana te pa.
14 And Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells Eli.
A ka rongo a Eri i te reo e hamama ana, ka mea ia, He reo aha tenei e ngangau nei? Na hohoro tonu taua tangata, a kua tae, kua korero ki a Eri.
15 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
Na e iwa tekau ma waru nga tau o Eri; kua maro hoki ona kanohi, te ahei ia te kite.
16 And the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been the matter, my son?”
Na ka mea taua tangata ki a Eri, Ko ahau tenei i puta mai i roto i te ope, i rere tonu mai inaianei i te ope. Ka mea tera, I pehea te mea ra, e taku tama?
17 And he who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”
Na ka whakaatu a ia i kawea mai nei nga korero, ka mea, I rere a Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, he nui hoki te parekura o te iwi; a ko au tama tokorua, ko Hoponi, raua ko Pinehaha, kua mate; kua riro ano hoki te aaka a te Atua.
18 And it comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] forty years.
A, no tana whakahuatanga i te aaka a te Atua, hinga ana tera ki muri i runga i te nohoanga, ki te taha o te kuwaha, a whati iho tona kaki, mate ake: he koroheke hoki ia, he taimaha. Na e wha tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
19 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on her.
Na e hapu ana tana hunaonga, te wahine a Pinehaha, meake whanau: a, no tona rongonga i te korero o te aaka a te Atua kua riro, o te matenga ano o tona hungawai raua ko tana tahu, ka piko iho ia, ka whanau; i pa whakarere mai hoki te mamae ki a i a.
20 And at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
A i a ia e whakahemohemo ana, ka mea nga wahine e tu ana i tona taha, Kaua e wehi; he tane hoki tenei tamaiti au. Heoi kahore ana kupu i whakahoki ai, kihai ano hoki i anga mai tona ngakau.
21 and she calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Na huaina iho e ia te tama ko Ikaporo, i mea, Kua heke te kororia o Iharaira: no te mea kua riro te aaka a te Atua, mo tona hungawai hoki raua ko tana tahu.
22 And she says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
I mea ano ia, Kua heke te kororia o Iharaira; kua riro nei hoki te aaka a te Atua.
