1 Samuel 4

1 And so it was, when the word of Samuel had reached all Israel, that Israel went forth to meet the Philistines in battle, and they encamped near Eben-ezer, while, the Philistines, encamped in Aphek.

Amo esoha Filisidini fi dunu ilia da Isala: ili fi dunuma gegena masusa: wa: le asi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da dabe gegemusa: gilisilalu. Isala: ili dunu ilia Ebenisa soge gadenene ilia ha wa: i fisisu gagui. Amola Filisidini dunu ilia da A: ifege moilai bai bagadega ha wa: i fisisu gagui.

2 And the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and, when the battle spread, then was Israel smitten before the Philistines, —and there were slain of the army in the field about four thousand men.

Filisidini dunu ilia da Isala: ili dunuma doagala: le, bagadewane susa: ili gegei. Gegei da geala asili, fa: no ba: loba, Isala: ili dunu da bagadewane fefedei gia: i ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da 4000 agoane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.

3 And, when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Yahweh smitten us to-day, before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us, out of Shiloh, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that, when it cometh into our midst, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

Amalalu, Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu hame bogoi esalebe da Isala: ili ilia ha wa: i fisisu bu manoba, Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilia da amane sia: i, “Abuliba: le Hina Gode da Filisidini dunu ninima hasalasima: ne wali logo doasibala: ? Be wali ninia da Siailou moilaiga asili, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili lale, amalu ninia da amo gisawene gilisili gegena masunu. Amasea, Hina Gode da ninia ha lai ninima mae hasalasima: ne gaga: mu.”

4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and bare from thence the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim, —and, there, were the two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, namely, Hophni and Phinehas.

Amaiba: le, ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili (amo ea bai da fedege Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea gadodafa ida: iwane Fisu), amo gisa misa: ne asunasi. Ilia da amo Gagili gisa manoba, Ilai egefela Hofinai amola Finia: se da oule misi.

5 And so it was, when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came into the camp, that all Israel brake out into a loud shout of joy, —so that the earth rang again.

Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da gisa misini doaga: loba, Isala: ili dunu huluane da ha: giwane nodone wele sia: beba: le, osobo bagade da fogoi.

6 And, when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said—What meaneth the noise of this loud shout of joy in the camp of the Hebrews? And they learned that, the ark of Yahweh, had come into the camp.

Filisidini dunu ilia da Hina Godema nodosu sia: amo huhududabe agoai amo nababeba: le, amane sia: i, “Nabima! Hibulu ha wa: i fisisu huhududabe goma. Gomo da abolebela: ?” Ilia da nabagaloba Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Gagili da Hibulu ha wa: i fisisu gisa misi sia: be nababeba: le,

7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said—God hath come into the camp. And they said—Woe to us! for there hath not happened the like of this, heretofore.

ilia da bagade beda: i galu. Ilia da amane sia: i, ‘gode’ afae da ilia ha wa: i fisisuga doaga: i dagoi. Ninimone da wadela: mu wea! Agoaiwane hou ninima da musa: hame doaga: i.

8 Woe to us! Who shall rescue us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These, are the gods, who smote the Egyptians with all manner of smiting in the desert!

Ilia ‘gode’lali da gasa bagadeba: le, ninimone da nowa gaga: ma: bela: ? Amo ‘gode’lali da hafoga: i sogega Idibidi dunu huluane medole legei.

9 Take courage, and quit yourselves like men, ye Philistines, lest ye come into bondage to the Hebrews, as they have been in bondage unto you, —therefore must ye quit yourselves like men, and fight.

Filisidini dunu! Gasa fima: i! Hame amaiada, Hibulu dunu ilia da ninia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalebe ba: i. Amo defele ninia da ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoai esaloma: bela: ? Amasa: besa: gini gasa fili, nimiwane gegema!”

10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his home; and the slaughter became exceeding great, —and there fell of Israel—thirty thousand footmen.

Filisidini dunu ili da gasa filiwane gegebeba: le, Isala: ili dunu osa: la heda: i dagoi. Isala: ili dunu mogili da ilia diasuga hobeale afia: i. Amalu ba: loba, dunu fai bogogia: i da bagadedafa ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da ba: loba, 30,000 agoane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.

11 And, the ark of God, was taken, —and, the two sons of Eli, were slain, Hophni and Phinehas.

Filisidini dunu da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili samogei dagoi. Amola Ilai egefela Hofenai amola Finia: se, ela da ele galu medole legei dagoi ba: i.

12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and entered Shiloh on the same day, —with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.

Bediamini fi dunu afae da gegesu soge fisili, amogalamusu hobeale hehenaia ahoana, Siailou moilaiga doaga: i. Ea da: i dioi dawa: digima: ne, e da abula gadelai amola dialuma da: iya osobo duduli gala: i ba: i.

13 And, when he entered, lo! Eli was sitting upon his chair, by the wayside, watching, for his heart was trembling for the ark of God, —and, the man, entered to tell the news in the city, and all the city made outcry.

E da doaga: le ba: loba, Ilai da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo fawane bagade dada: wa: sa, logo bega: hi fisu fafai da: iya fili, si godonasia sosodosa esalebe ba: i. Amo dunu da amo fefedei sia: moilai fi dunuma sisia: i lai. Amalalu, dunu huluane beda: ga bulili didigia: i.

14 And, when Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said—What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And, the man, hasted, and came, and told Eli.

Ilai da amo bulibi nababeba: le, e da amane adole ba: i, “Gomo da abuliga sia: gomo wali heda: sala: ?” Amo dunu da Ilaima amo sia: adomusa: hedolowane hehenai.

15 Now, Eli, was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, that he could not see.

(Ilai da ode98gadenenewane gidigimuba: le, ea si da gadenenewane dofoidafa.)

16 So the man said unto Eli, I, am he that came in from the army, yea, I, from the army, fled to-day. And he said—What is the thing that hath happened, my son?

Amo dunu da Ilaima amane sia: i, “Na da gegenanua amonini wali hobeale misi wea.” Ilai da ema adole ba: i, “Nagofe! Abuli hamoi!”

17 And the bearer of tidings answered, and said—Israel hath fled before the Philistines, Moreover also, a great smiting, hath taken place among the people, —Moreover also, thy two sons, are slain, Hophni and Phinehas, And, the ark of God, is taken.

Sia: adola ahoasu dunu da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu da Filisidini dunu amoba: le hobeale afia: i. Amo gegesu da ninima hasalasidafa. Amogalu, dia gofela Hofenai amola Finia: sela da fai bogoi dagoi, amola Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili da ha lai dunuga fedei dagoi ba: i.”

18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off his seat backwards, at the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died, for, old, was the man, and, heavy, —and, he had judged Israel forty years.

Be amo dunu da Gode Ea Sema Gousa: su Gagili amo ha lai dunuga fedei sia: beba: le, Ilai da baliguduli muwane sa: ili, logo holei bega: gala: la sa: i. E da da: i hamoi amola basuluiba: le, ea mugi dugini gala: le, e bogoi. E da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini ode 40 agoane bisisu dunu esalu.

19 Now, his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, was with child, ready to give birth, and, when she heard the tidings, as to the taking of the ark of God, and the death of her father-in-law, and her husband, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her pains had seized her.

Ilai egefe Finia: se idua da abula aguiba: le, mano lalelegemu da gadenei ba: i. E da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo da fedelai dagoi amola ea nawi Ilai amola egoa Finia: se da bogoi dagoi nababeba: le, e da hedolowane asili, mano lamusa: se nabalu, mano lalelegei.

20 And, about the time of her death, the women that stood by her said: Do not fear, for, to a son, hast thou given birth. But she neither answered nor regarded.

E da sega bogolaloba, ea fidisu uda ilia ema amane sia: i, “Di mae beda: ma! Be di da dunu mano lalelegei dagoi.” Be e da mae nabawene amola ilia sia: hame alofei.

21 And she called the boy I-chabod ["Where’s the glory?"]! saying, Exiled is the glory from Israel, —In regard to the taking of the ark of God, and to her father-in-law, and to her husband.

E da mano amo ea dio Igabode asuli. Amo dio ea dawa: loma: ne da “Gode Ea hadigi da Isala: ili fi fisiagai.” Bai Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da ha lai dunuga fedei dagoi, amola ea nawi amola egoa da bogoi, amo e dawa: beba: le sia: i.

22 So she said—Exiled is the glory from Israel, —For the ark of God hath been taken.

E amane sia: i, “Gode Ea hadigi da Isala: ili fi fisiagai dagoi. Bai Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da fedei dagoi ba: i.”
