1 Samuel 7
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came, took the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill. They set apart his son Eleazar to keep the ark of Yahweh.
Nígbà náà àwọn ará Kiriati-Jearimu wá, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Wọ́n gbé e lọ sí ilé Abinadabu lórí òkè, wọ́n sì ya Eleasari ọmọ rẹ̀ sí mímọ́ láti ṣọ́ àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.
2 From the day the ark remained in Kiriath Jearim, a long time passed, twenty years. All the house of Israel lamented and wished to turn to Yahweh.
Ó sì jẹ́ ní ìgbà pípẹ́, ogún ọdún ni àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa fi wà ní Kiriati-Jearimu. Gbogbo ilé Israẹli ṣọ̀fọ̀ wọ́n sì pohùnréré ẹkún sí Olúwa.
3 Samuel said to the entire house of Israel, “If you return to Yahweh with your whole heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, turn your hearts to Yahweh, and worship him only, then he will rescue you from the hand of the Philistines.”
Samuẹli sọ fún gbogbo ilé Israẹli pé, “Tí ẹ bá ń padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín, ẹ yẹra kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọlọ́run àjèjì àti Aṣtoreti kí ẹ sì fi ara yín jì fún Olúwa kí ẹ sì sin òun nìkan ṣoṣo, òun yóò sì gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.”
4 Then the people of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and worshiped Yahweh only.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yẹra fún Baali àti Aṣtoreti, wọ́n sì sin Olúwa nìkan ṣoṣo.
5 Then Samuel said, “Bring together all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”
Nígbà náà ni, Samuẹli wí pé, “Ẹ kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ sí Mispa, èmi yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un yín lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.”
6 They gathered at Mizpah, drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted that day and said, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” It was there that Samuel decided disputes for the people of Israel and led the people.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti péjọpọ̀ ní Mispa, wọ́n pọn omi, wọ́n sì dà á sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa. Ní ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n gbààwẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa.” Samuẹli sì jẹ́ olórí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní Mispa.
7 Now when the Philistines heard the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines attacked Israel. When the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ pé àwọn Israẹli ti péjọ ní Mispa, àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini gòkè wá láti kọlù wọ́n. Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n nítorí àwọn Filistini.
8 Then the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not stop calling out to Yahweh our God for us, so he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
Wọ́n sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Má ṣe dákẹ́ kíké pe Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa, ké pè é kí ó lè gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini.”
9 Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli mú ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ ọmú, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa. Ó sí ké pe Olúwa nítorí ilé Israẹli, Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines approached to attack Israel. But Yahweh thundered with a loud sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were routed before Israel.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli ń ṣe ìrúbọ ẹbọ sísun, àwọn Filistini súnmọ́ tòsí láti bá Israẹli ja ogun. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ náà, Olúwa sán àrá ńlá lu àwọn Filistini, ó sì mú jìnnìjìnnì bá wọn, a sì lé wọn níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
11 The men of Israel went from Mizpah, and they pursued the Philistines and killed them as far as below Beth Kar.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli tú jáde láti Mispa. Wọ́n sì ń lépa àwọn Filistini, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n ní àpá rìn títí dé abẹ́ Beti-Kari.
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far Yahweh has helped us.”
Samuẹli mú òkúta kan ó sì fi lélẹ̀ láàrín Mispa àti Ṣeni, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Ebeneseri, wí pé, “Ibí ni Olúwa ràn wá lọ́wọ́ dé.”
13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not enter the border of Israel. The hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣẹ́gun Filistini, wọn kò sì wá sí agbègbè àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́. Ní gbogbo ìgbésí ayé Samuẹli, ọwọ́ Olúwa lòdì sí àwọn Filistini.
14 The towns that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; Israel brought back their territory from the Philistines. Then there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Àwọn ìlú láti Ekroni dé Gati tí àwọn Filistini ti gbà lọ́wọ́ Israẹli ni ó ti gbà padà fún Israẹli, ó sì gba gbogbo ilẹ̀ agbègbè rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìṣàkóso àwọn Filistini. Ìrẹ́pọ̀ sì wà láàrín Israẹli àti àwọn Amori.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Samuẹli tẹ̀síwájú gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́ lórí Israẹli. Ní ọjọ́ ayé e rẹ̀.
16 Each year he went on a circuit to Bethel, to Gilgal, and to Mizpah. He decided disputes for Israel in all these places.
Láti ọdún dé ọdún, ó lọ yíká láti Beteli dé Gilgali dé Mispa, ó sì ń ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli ní gbogbo ibi wọ̀nyí.
17 Then he would return to Ramah, because his house was there; and there also he decided disputes for Israel. He also built an altar there to Yahweh.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó máa ń padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní Rama, níbí tí ilé rẹ̀ wà, ó sì túnṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli níbẹ̀, ó sì kọ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa.
