1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel's words came to all Israel. And Eli grew very old, and his sons kept advancing in their wicked behavior before YHWH. And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel. And Israel went out to meet them in battle, and camped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped 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 The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was struck before the Philistines; and they killed of the army 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 When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of YHWH out of Shiloh to us, 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 there the ark of YHWH, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark.
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 When the ark of YHWH came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
Ke Tuptup in Wuleang tuku sun nien aktuktuk, mwet Israel nukewa elos sala ke pusren engan lulap, oru infohk uh kusrusryak.
6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" They understood that the ark of YHWH 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 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "Gods have come into the camp." They said, "Woe to us. For there has not been such a thing before.
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 to us. Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues 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 Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like 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 So they fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled every man to his tent. And there was a very great slaughter, for 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 The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD sruhu, ac anwuki pac Hophni ac Phinehas, wen luo natul Eli.
12 There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on 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 When he came, look, Eli was sitting on his seat by the side of the gate watching the road, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, 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 When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, "What does the noise of this tumult mean?" The man hurried, and came 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, so that he could not see.
Eli el yac eungoul oalkosr in pacl se inge, ac apkuran in kunla na pwaye mutal.)
16 The man said to Eli, "I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army." He said, "How did the matter go, 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 He who brought the news answered, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."
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 It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. 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 His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on 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 When her time came, she was abount to die, and the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not be afraid; for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.
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 boy Ichabod, because of the ark of God, 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 She said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."
El fahk mu, “Wolana lun God fahsr liki Israel mweyen Tuptup in Wuleang lun God sruhu.”
