1 Samuel 7

1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

Na ka haere nga tangata o Kiriata Tearimi ki te tiki i te aaka a Ihowa, a kawea ana e ratou ki te whare o Apinarapa i te pukepuke; i whakatapua hoki e ratou a Ereatara tana tama hei tiaki i te aaka a Ihowa.

2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

A i te nohoanga o te aaka ki Kiriata Tearimi, i te mea kua maha nga ra; e rua tekau hoki nga tau; na ka tangi te whare katoa o Iharaira ki a Ihowa.

3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

Na ka korero a Hamuera ki te whare katoa o Iharaira, ka mea, Ki te mea e hoki katoa ana o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa, whakarerea nga atua ke i roto i a koutou, me Ahataroto ano hoki; whakapumautia hoki o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa, me mahi hoki ki a ia anake, a mana koutou e whakaora i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

4 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

Katahi ka whakarerea e nga tama a Iharaira nga Paara me Ahataroto, a mahi ana ki a Ihowa anake.

5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.

Na ka mea a Hamuera, Huihuia mai a Iharaira katoa ki Mihipa, a ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa mo koutou.

6 And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

Na ka huihui ratou ki Mihipa, a utuhia ana he wai, ringihia ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i nohopuku ano hoki i taua ra, a ka mea i reira, Kua hara matou ki a Ihowa. Na, ka whakawa a Hamuera mo nga tama a Iharaira ki Mihipa.

7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.

A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua huihui nga tama a Iharaira ki Mihipa, ka haere nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira. A, i te rongonga o nga tama a Iharaira, ka wehi ratou i nga Pirihitini.

8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.

Na ka mea nga tama a Iharaira ki a Hamuera, Kei whakamutua tau karanga ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, mo matou, kia whakaorangia matou i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

Na tikina ana e Hamuera he reme, he mea ngote u, a whakaekea katoatia ana hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa. Na ka karanga a Hamuera ki a Ihowa mo Iharaira, a ka whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia.

10 And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

A, i a Hamuera e whakaeke ana i te tahunga tinana, ka whakatata mai nga Pirihitini ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira: otira nui atu te papatanga o ta Ihowa whatiri i taua ra ki runga ki nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana ratou; patua iho hoki i te aroaro o I haraira.

11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.

Na ka puta nga tangata o Iharaira i roto i Mihipa, a whaia ana nga Pirihitini, tukitukia ana a tae noa ki raro, ki Petekara.

12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

Na ka mau a Hamuera ki tetahi kohatu nui, a whakatakotoria ana ki waenganui o Mihipa, o Hene, a huaina iho tona ingoa, ko Epeneetere; i mea hoki, Ko Ihowa to tatou kaiawhina a tae noa mai ki tenei wa.

13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

Heoi kua taea nga Pirihitini, kihai ano i haere mai i muri ki te rohe o Iharaira: i runga hoki i nga Pirihitini te ringa o Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hamuera.

14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

A i whakahokia atu ki a Iharaira nga pa i tongohia e nga Pirihitini i a Iharaira, a Ekerono tae noa ki Kata; i tangohia hoki nga rohe o ena pa e Iharaira i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini. A ka mau ta Iharaira rongo ki nga Amori.

15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

A i whakarite a Hamuera mo Iharaira i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.

16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

I taiawhio haere hoki ia i tenei tau, i tenei tau, ki Peteere, ki Kirikara, ki Mihipa, i whakarite ano mo Iharaira i aua wahi katoa.

17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.

A hoki ana ki Rana; i reira hoki tona whare, a whakarite ana mo Iharaira ki reira; i hanga hoki e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira.
