1 Samuel 7
1 And they came [the] people of - Kiriath Jearim and they took up [the] ark of Yahweh and they brought it to [the] house of Abinadab on the hill and Eleazar son his they consecrated to keep [the] ark of Yahweh.
Maka penduduk Kiryat-Yearim mengambil Peti Perjanjian TUHAN itu lalu membawanya ke dalam rumah orang yang bernama Abinadab; rumah itu terletak di atas bukit. Kemudian mereka mentahbiskan Eleazar anak Abinadab, untuk menjaga Peti Perjanjian itu.
2 And it was from [the] day dwelt the ark at Kiriath Jearim and they increased the days and they were twenty year[s] and they mourned all [the] house of Israel after Yahweh.
Lama juga Peti Perjanjian TUHAN itu tinggal di Kiryat-Yearim, kira-kira dua puluh tahun. Selama waktu itu seluruh umat Israel berseru kepada TUHAN meminta tolong.
3 And he said Samuel to all [the] house of Israel saying if with all heart your you [are] turning back to Yahweh remove [the] gods of foreignness from among you and the Ashtaroth and direct heart your to Yahweh and serve him to only him so may he deliver you from [the] hand of [the] Philistines.
Lalu berkatalah Samuel kepada umat Israel, "Kalau kamu hendak kembali kepada TUHAN dan menyembah Dia dengan sepenuh hatimu, haruslah kamu membuang semua dewa asing dan patung Dewi Asytoret. Serahkanlah dirimu sama sekali kepada TUHAN dan berbakti kepada-Nya saja, maka kamu akan dibebaskan-Nya dari orang Filistin."
4 And they removed [the] people of Israel the Baals and the Ashtaroth and they served Yahweh to only him.
Jadi orang Israel membuang patung-patung Dewa Baal dan patung Dewi Asytoret, lalu mengabdi kepada TUHAN saja.
5 And he said Samuel gather all Israel Mizpah towards so I may pray for you to Yahweh.
Setelah itu berkatalah Samuel, "Kumpulkanlah seluruh bangsa Israel di Mizpa, maka aku akan berdoa kepada TUHAN untuk kamu."
6 And they gathered together Mizpah towards and they drew water and they poured [it] out - before Yahweh and they fasted on the day that and they said there we have sinned to Yahweh and he judged Samuel [the] people of Israel at Mizpah.
Lalu berkumpullah mereka semua di Mizpa. Mereka menimba air lalu menuangkannya sebagai persembahan kepada TUHAN, selanjutnya mereka berpuasa sepanjang hari itu. Kata mereka, "Kami telah berdosa kepada TUHAN." (Di Mizpa itu Samuel mulai menyelesaikan perkara-perkara perselisihan orang Israel.)
7 And they heard [the] Philistines that they had gathered together [the] people of Israel Mizpah towards and they went up [the] rulers of [the] Philistines against Israel and they heard [the] people of Israel and they were afraid of [the] Philistines.
Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa orang Israel telah berkumpul di Mizpa, kelima raja Filistin berangkat ke sana dengan tentara mereka untuk menyerang orang Israel. Orang Israel mendengar hal itu lalu menjadi takut.
8 And they said [the] people of Israel to Samuel may not you keep silent from us from crying out to Yahweh God our so he may deliver us from [the] hand of [the] Philistines.
Kata mereka kepada Samuel, "Janganlah berhenti berdoa kepada TUHAN Allah kita supaya kita diselamatkan-Nya dari orang Filistin."
9 And he took Samuel a lamb of milk one (and he offered up it *Q(K)*) a burnt offering a whole offering to Yahweh and he cried out Samuel to Yahweh for Israel and he answered him Yahweh.
Karena itu Samuel memotong seekor anak domba muda, lalu mempersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN. Setelah itu ia berdoa supaya TUHAN menolong orang Israel, dan doanya itu dikabulkan.
10 And he was Samuel offering up the burnt offering and [the] Philistines they drew near for battle in Israel and he thundered Yahweh - with a sound great on the day that on [the] Philistines and he routed them and they were defeated before Israel.
Ketika Samuel sedang mempersembahkan kurban bakaran itu, orang Filistin mulai menyerang; tetapi tepat pada saat itu TUHAN mengguntur dari langit ke atas mereka. Mereka menjadi kacau-balau lalu lari kebingungan.
11 And they went out [the] men of Israel from Mizpah and they pursued [the] Philistines and they struck down them to from below to Beth Car.
Tentara Israel keluar dari Mizpa lalu mengejar orang Filistin itu hampir sejauh Bet-Kar, dan menghancurkan mereka.
12 And he took Samuel a stone one and he put [it] between Mizpah and between Shen and he called name its Eben-ezer and he said until now he has helped us Yahweh.
Setelah itu Samuel menegakkan sebuah batu, di perbatasan Mizpa dan Sen. Ia berkata, "TUHAN telah menolong kita sepenuhnya." --lalu batu itu dinamainya "Batu Pertolongan".
13 And they were subdued the Philistines and not they repeated again to come in [the] territory of Israel and it was [the] hand of Yahweh on the Philistines all [the] days of Samuel.
Demikianlah orang Filistin dikalahkan. TUHAN tidak mengizinkan mereka memasuki wilayah Israel lagi, selama Samuel masih hidup.
14 And they went back the cities which they had taken [the] Philistines from with Israel - to Israel from Ekron and to Gath and territory their he delivered Israel from [the] hand of [the] Philistines and it was peace between Israel and between the Amorite[s].
Semua kota Israel yang telah ditaklukkan oleh orang Filistin, mulai dari Ekron sampai Gat, dikembalikan kepada Israel. Jadi Israel mendapat kembali seluruh wilayahnya. Orang Israel dan orang Amori pun hidup dengan damai.
15 And he judged Samuel Israel all [the] days of life his.
Samuel memerintah Israel seumur hidupnya.
16 And he went as often as a year in a year and he went round Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah and he judged Israel all the places these.
Setiap tahun ia mengadakan perjalanan keliling ke Betel, Gilgal, dan Mizpa. Dan di tempat-tempat itu ia menyelesaikan perkara-perkara perselisihan.
17 And return his [was] Ramah towards for [was] there house his and there he judged Israel and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
Selalu sesudah itu ia pulang ke rumahnya di Rama. Di sana ia menjadi hakim orang Israel dan juga mendirikan sebuah mezbah bagi TUHAN.
