< 1 Samuel 4 >

1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goeth out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
In pacl se inge mwet Philistia elos fahsreni in som ac mweun lain mwet Israel, ac mwet Israel elos akola pac in lainulos. Mwet Israel elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos in acn Ebenezer, ac mwet Philistia elos tulokunak iwen aktuktuk selos in acn Aphek.
2 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreadeth itself, and Israel is smitten before the Philistines, and they smite among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
Mwet Philistia elos mutawauk lain mwet Israel, ac tukun mweun upa lalos, mwet Philistia elos kutangla mwet Israel, ac uniya akuran akosr tausin mwet Israel yen elos mweun we.
3 And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of Israel say, 'Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth save us out of the hand of our enemies.'
Ke mwet lula sin mwet Israel elos foloko nu nien aktuktuk lalos, mwet kol lalos asiyuki ac fahk, “Efu ku LEUM GOD El lela mwet Philistia inge in kutangkutla misenge? Wona kut in som use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD Shiloh me, tuh Elan kasrekut ac molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr.”
4 And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there [are] two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
Na elos supwala kutu mwet nu Shiloh in tuh use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD Kulana, su nien muta lal oan fin cherub lukwa. Wen luo natul Eli, Hophni ac Phinehas, eltal wi na Tuptup in Wuleang tuku.
5 And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto the camp, that all Israel shout — a great shout — and the earth is moved.
Ke Tuptup in Wuleang tuku sun nien aktuktuk, mwet Israel nukewa elos sala ke pusren engan lulap, oru infohk uh kusrusryak.
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, 'What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come in unto the camp.
Ke mwet Philistia elos lohng pusren sasa elos fahk, “Mea kalmen sa lulap se ma tuku liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel inge?” Ke elos lohng lah Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD sun acn we,
7 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, 'God hath come in unto the camp;' and they say, 'Woe to us, for there hath not been like this heretofore.
elos sangeng ac fahk, “Sie god el tuku oasr nien aktuktuk lalos ah! Kut ac wanginla! Tufahna pacl se in sikyak lumah ouinge nu sesr oemeet me!
8 Woe to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these honourable gods? these [are] the gods who are smiting the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Su ku in molikutla liki god ku lalos inge? Pa inge god lalos ma tuh uniya mwet Egypt yen mwesis ah!
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest ye do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you — then ye have become men, and have fought.'
Mwet Philistia, kowos in pulaikna! Kowos in mweun oana mukul. Kowos fin tia, na kowos ac tufah mwet kohs nu sin mwet Hebrew, oana ke elos tuh mwet kohs nu sesr ah. Ke ma inge, kowos mweun oana mukul!”
10 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen;
Mwet Philistia elos mweun arulana upa, ac elos kutangla mwet Israel, ac mwet Israel elos kaing nu acn selos. Mwet puspis anwuki. Oasr tausin tolngoul mwet mweun lun Israel misa.
11 and the ark of God hath been taken, and the two sons of Eli have died, Hophni and Phinehas.
Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD sruhu, ac anwuki pac Hophni ac Phinehas, wen luo natul Eli.
12 And a man of Benjamin runneth out of the ranks, and cometh into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] rent, and earth on his head;
Sie mukul in sruf lal Benjamin el kasrusr tuku liki nien mweun uh nu Shiloh, ac sun acn we ke len sacna. El seya nuknuk lal ac sang kutkut nu fin sifal in akkalemye asor lal.
13 and he cometh in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart hath been trembling for the ark of God, and the man hath come in to declare [it] in the city, and all the city crieth out.
Eli el nunku yohk ke Tuptup in Wuleang, ac el mutana ngetnget fin mwe muta lal sisken inkanek ah. Ke mwet sac el tuku ac sulkakin pweng inge nu in siti uh, na mwet nukewa elos wowoyak ke sangeng.
14 And Eli heareth the noise of the cry, and saith, 'What — the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and cometh in, and declareth to Eli.
Ke Eli el lohng pusren mwet uh el siyuk, “Mea kalmen wowon ingan?” Na mwet sac sulaklak nu yorol ac fahkak ma sikyak nu sel. (
15 And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he hath not been able to see.
Eli el yac eungoul oalkosr in pacl se inge, ac apkuran in kunla na pwaye mutal.)
16 And the man saith unto Eli, 'I [am] he who hath come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he saith, 'What hath been the matter, my son?'
Na mwet sac fahk, “Nga kaingla liki nien mweun uh, ac kasrusr na oe we me misenge.” Ac Eli el siyuk sel, “Wen nutik, fuka mweun ah?”
17 And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, 'Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have died — Hophni and Phinehas — and the ark of God hath been captured.'
Mwet sac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Israel elos kaing liki mwet Philistia. Kut kuf na pwaye! Oayapa anwuki wen luo nutum, Hophni ac Phinehas, ac Tuptup in Wuleang lun God sruhu!”
18 And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God, that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years.
Ke pacl se mwet sac fahk ke Tuptup in Wuleang, na Eli el topla nu tok liki mwe muta lal sisken mutunpot in siti uh. El arulana matu ac toasr ke lupal, pwanang kaptelik inkawal ac el misa. El mwet kol fin Israel ke lusen yac angngaul.
19 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her.
Mutan kial Phinehas, wen natul Eli, el pitutu ac apkuran in isusla. Ke el lohng lah sruhu Tuptup in Wuleang lun God, ac ke papa talupal oayapa mukul tumal ah tukeni misa, na ngal in isus lal tuyang, ac el isusla.
20 And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, 'Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
Ke el keok ac apkuran in misa, mutan in akisus lal elos fahk nu sel, “Akkeye kom, tuh kom oswela tari wen se!” Tusruktu el tiana lohang, ku topkolos.
21 and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, 'Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
El sang inen tulik sac Ichabod, su kalmah “Wolana lun God som liki Israel,” ke sripen sruhu Tuptup in Wuleang, oayapa papa talupal ac mukul tumal tukenina misa.
22 And she saith, 'Honour hath removed from Israel, for the ark of God hath been taken.'
El fahk mu, “Wolana lun God fahsr liki Israel mweyen Tuptup in Wuleang lun God sruhu.”
