1 Samuel 7
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of YHWH and brought it into the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of YHWH.
Ya mere, ndị ikom Kiriat Jearim bịara buru igbe ọgbụgba ndụOnyenwe anyị bubata ya nʼụlọ Abinadab nke dị nʼelu ugwu. Ha doro Elieza, ọkpara Abinadab nsọ, ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
2 It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after YHWH.
Igbe ahụ dịgidere na Kiriat Jearim ogologo oge, iri afọ abụọ zuruoke. Ma nʼoge a niile, ndị Izrel nọ na-eru ụjụ nʼihi Onyenwe anyị.
3 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you do return to YHWH with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to YHWH, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."
Ya mere, Samuel gwara ezinaụlọ Izrel niile sị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ji obi unu niile na alaghachikwute Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ahụ, wezuganụ chi niile nke ndị ala ọzọ, na arụsị Ashtọret site nʼetiti unu. Kpebienụ nʼobi unu ịbịakwute Onyenwe anyị, feekwa naanị ya ofufe. Ọ ga-anapụtakwa unu site nʼaka ndị Filistia.”
4 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served YHWH only.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel wezugara arụsị Baal na Ashtọret ha, bido ife naanị Onyenwe anyị.
5 Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to YHWH."
Samuel gwara ha sị, “Unu ndị Izrel, zukọtaanụ na Mizpa, ka m rịọọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ nʼisi unu.”
6 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before YHWH, and fasted on that day, and said, "We have sinned against YHWH." Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
Mgbe ha niile zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ, ha kuuru mmiri wụpụ ya nʼala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Nʼụbọchị ahụ kwa, ha buru ọnụ, kwupụta mmehie sị, “Anyị emehiela megide Onyenwe anyị.” Ọ bụ na Mizpa ka Samuel malitere ikpe ụmụ Izrel ikpe.
7 When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
Mgbe ndị Filistia nụrụ na ụmụ Izrel zukọrọ na Mizpa, ndị eze ndị Filistia chịkọtara ndị agha ha, bịa ibuso Izrel agha. Mgbe ụmụ Izrel nụrụ na ha na-abịa nso, ha tụrụ ụjọ nke ukwuu.
8 The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to YHWH our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."
Ha sịrị Samuel, “Akwụsịla itiku Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị mkpu akwa nʼihi anyị, kpeekwa ekpere ka ọ zọpụta anyị site nʼaka ndị Filistia.”
9 Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to YHWH: and Samuel cried to YHWH for Israel; and YHWH answered him.
Mgbe ahụ, Samuel weere nwa atụrụ na-aṅụ ara jiri ya chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ, rịọkwa Onyenwe anyị ka o nyere Izrel aka. Onyenwe anyị zara ekpere ya.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but YHWH thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
Nʼoge ahụ, mgbe Samuel nọ na-esure aja nsure ọkụ ahụ, ndị Filistia bịaruru nso ibuso Izrel agha, ma Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe were oke olu egbe eluigwe nke dara oke ụda chụsasịa ha. O mere ka ọgbaaghara bata nʼetiti ndị Filistia. Nke a mekwara ka ụmụ Izrel kpochapụ ha,
11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, as far as below Beth Kar.
Ndị ikom Izrel si na Mizpa pụta chụso ndị Filistia ọsọ, na-etigbu ha nʼụzọ ruo na ndịda Bet-Ka.
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Jashan, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "YHWH helped us until now."
Mgbe ahụ, Samuel weere otu nkume doo ya nʼagbata Mizpa na Shen, kpọọ ebe ahụ, Ebeneza, nke pụtara, “Nkume inyeaka,” nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Nʼezie, Onyenwe anyị enyerela anyị aka ruo ugbu a.”
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the territory of Israel. The hand of YHWH was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Ya mere, mmeri a e meriri ndị Filistia mere ka ha ghara ibuso Izrel agha ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị kwụsịrị ha ime nke a ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Samuel.
14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
E nyeghachiri ndị Izrel obodo niile ndị Filistia dọtara nʼagha na mbụ, nke dị site nʼEkrọn ruo Gat. Ndị Izrel napụtara oke ala ndị a site nʼaka ndị Filistia. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, e mere ka udo dị nʼetiti ndị Izrel na ndị Amọrait.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Samuel nọgidere dịka onye ikpe ndị Izrel ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
16 He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
Afọ niile, ọ na-ejegharị site nʼotu obodo ruo nʼobodo ọzọ, site nʼobodo Betel ruo Gilgal, ruokwa Mizpa. Ọ na-anọkwa nʼobodo ndị a na-ekpe ndị Izrel ikpe.
17 His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to YHWH.
Ma ọ na-alọghachi na Rema, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka ụlọ ya dị. O kpekwara ndị Izrel ikpe nʼebe ahụ, wuokwara Onyenwe anyị ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ.
