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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata ʻo Kesa-Sialimi, ʻo haʻamo hake ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻApinatapi ʻi he moʻunga, pea ne fakanofo hono foha ko ʻEliesa ke ne tauhi ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tuku ʻae puha tapu ʻi Kesa-Sialimi, ʻo fuoloa ʻaupito; he ko e taʻu ʻe uofulu: pea naʻe tangi mamahi ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Samuela ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou tafoki kia Sihova ʻaki homou loto kotoa, pea mou tukuange ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe mo ʻAsitelote meiate kimoutolu, pea teuteu homou loto kia Sihova, ʻo tauhi kiate ia pe: pehē te ne fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
4 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
Pea naʻe toki tukuange ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻa Peali mo ʻAsitelote, ʻonau tauhi pē kia Sihova.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Samuela, “Fakakātoa ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Misipa, pea te u hūfia ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau kātoa fakataha ki Misipa, ʻonau ʻutu ʻae vai, ʻo lingi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻonau ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo mau fai angahala kia Sihova.” Pea naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻe Samuela ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Misipa.
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.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Filisitia kuo kātoa fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki Misipa, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli. Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai Filisitia.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Samuela, “ʻOua naʻa tuku hoʻo tangi kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻae lami huhu ʻo ne ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu kotoa kia Sihova: pea naʻe tangi ʻa Samuela kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli; pea naʻe talia ia ʻe Sihova.
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.
Pea ʻi he kei ʻatu ʻe Samuela ʻae feilaulau tutu, naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻe mana ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae mana lahi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe veuveuki ʻakinautolu; pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mei Misipa ʻo tuli ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu atu ki Pete-ka.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Samuela ʻae maka, ke fokotuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Misipa mo Seni, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Epenisa, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
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.
Naʻe pehē ʻae fakavaivai ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau toe haʻu ki he ngaahi potu fonua ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ki he kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Samuela.
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.
Pea ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe hamu ʻe he kau Filisitia mei ʻIsileli, naʻe toe tuku mai ki ʻIsileli mei Ekiloni ʻo aʻu atu ki Kati; pea ko hono ngaahi potu ʻo ia naʻe toe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia. Pea naʻe nofo fakamelino ʻa ʻIsileli mo e kakai ʻAmoli.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae fakamaau ʻe Samuela ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
Pea naʻe ʻalu holo ia ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ki Peteli, mo Kilikali, mo Misipa, ʻo ne fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi potu ko ia.
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.
Pea naʻa ne faʻa feʻaluʻaki ki Lama he naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai hono fale; pea naʻa ne fakamaau ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova.
