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,
Dubbiin Saamuʼeel Israaʼel hunda bira gaʼe. Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemota waraanuudhaaf baʼan. Israaʼeloonnis Ebeenezer bira, Filisxeemonni immoo Afeeq keessa qubatan.
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.
Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf loltoota isaanii hiriirsan; akkuma waraanni hoʼeenis Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemotaan moʼatamanii namoonni kumni afur dirree waraanaa irratti ajjeefaman.
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.”
Yommuu loltoonni Israaʼel qubatatti deebiʼanitti maanguddoonni Israaʼel, “Harʼa Waaqayyo maaliif fuula Filisxeemotaa duratti akka nu moʼatamnu godhe? Akka inni nu wajjin deemee harka diinota keenyaa jalaa nu baasuuf taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo Shiiloodhaa haa fidnu” jedhan.
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.
Kanaafuu sabni sun gara Shiilootti namoota erguudhaan taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa kiirubeel gidduu taaʼu sanaa fidan. Ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasis taabota kakuu Waaqaa wajjin achi turan.
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.
Yommuu taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo gara qubataatti galetti Israaʼeloonni hundinuu iyya gammachuu guddaa isaa iyyanii lafa sochoosan.
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.
Filisxeemonnis yommuu iyya guddaa sana dhagaʼanitti, “Iyyi guddaan qubata Ibrootaa keessaa dhagaʼamu kun maali?” jedhanii gaafatan. Yommuu akka taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo achi gale hubatanittis,
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.
Filisxeemonni sodaatanii akkana jedhan; “Waaqni tokko gara qubata Ibrootaa dhufeera; nuuf wayyoo! Wanni akkasii taʼee hin beeku.
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.
Nuuf wayyoo! Eenyutu waaqota jajjaboo kanneen harkaa nu baasa? Isaan waaqota gammoojjii keessatti dhaʼicha garaa garaatiin warra Gibxi dhaʼanii dha.
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.”
Yaa Filisxeemotaa jabaadhaa! Dhiirummaa keessanis argisiisaa. Yoo kanaa achii akkuma isin jara garboomfattan sana Ibroonni garba isin godhatu. Dhiirummaa keessan argisiisaatii lolaa!”
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;
Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni ni lolan; Israaʼeloonnis moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara dunkaana ofii isaatti baqate. Nama baayʼeetu dhume; Israaʼelis loltoota lafoo kuma soddoma dhabde.
11 and the Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
Taabonni Waaqaa ni boojiʼame; ilmaan Eelii lamaanuu Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas ni duʼan.
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;
Gaafuma sana namichi Beniyaam tokko wayyaa isaa tarsaasee, mataa isaatti daaraa firfirsee fiigaa gara Shiiloo dhaqe.
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.
Eeliinis yeroo namichi achi gaʼetti sababii waaʼee taabota Waaqaatiif garaan isaa raafameef waa dhagaʼuuf jedhee karaa cina barcuma irra taaʼee eegaa ture. Yeroo namichi sun magaalaa seenee waan taʼe hundumaa odeessetti warri magaalaa sanaa hundi ni iyyan.
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.
Eeliinis yommuu iyya sana dhagaʼetti, “Kun iyya maaliitii?” jedhee gaafate. Namichi sunis dafee dhufee Eeliitti hime;
15 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
yeroo kana Eeliin nama waggaa sagaltamii saddeet waan tureef iji isaa arguu dadhabee ture.
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?”
Namichis, “Ani ammuma adda waraanaatii dhufuu koo ti; waraana keessaa miliqee baʼuun koos harʼuma” jedhee Eeliitti hime. Eeliinis, “Yaa ilma ko, maaltu taʼe ree?” jedhee gaafate.
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.”
Namichi oduu fide sun deebisee, “Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemota duraa baqatan; loltoota irras dhumiisa guddaatu gaʼe; ilmaan kee lamaanis Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas ajjeefamaniiru; taabonni Waaqaas boojiʼameera” jedheen.
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.
Yommuu inni waaʼee taabota Waaqaa dubbatettis, Eeliin barcuma isaa kan balbala cina ture sana irraa dugda duubatti kufe. Nama dulloomaa dhagni isaa ulfaatu waan tureefis mormi isaa cabee duʼe. Innis waggaa afurtamaaf bulchaa Israaʼel ture.
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.
Niitiin ilma isaa Fiinehaas ulfa daʼa geesse turte. Isheenis yommuu akka taabonni Waaqaa boojiʼamee fi akka abbaan dhirsa isheetii fi dhirsi ishee duʼan dhageessetti ciniinsuun itti hammaatee jilbeenfattee deesse.
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];
Yeroo isheen duʼuu geessettis dubartoonni ishee gargaaraa turan, “Dhiira deesseertaa jabaadhu” jedhaniin. Isheen garuu homaa hin deebifne yookaan yaadatti hin qabanne.
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.
Sababii taabonni Waaqaa boojiʼamee fi sababii abbaan dhirsa isheetii fi dhirsi ishee duʼaniif, “Ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jechuudhaan maqaa mucaa ishee Iikaabood jettee moggaafte.
22 And she says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
Isheenis, “Taabonni Waaqaa waan boojiʼameef ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jette.
