1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and bring it in unto the house of Abinadab, in the height, and Eleazar his son they have sanctified to keep the ark of Jehovah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Kiriathu-Jearimu magĩthiĩ, makĩgĩĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, makĩrĩambatia. Makĩrĩtwara mũciĩ wa Abinadabu kĩrĩma-igũrũ, na makĩamũra mũriũ Eleazaru aikaragie ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova.
2 And it cometh to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied — yea, they are twenty years — and wail do all the house of Israel after Jehovah.
Ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro nĩrĩaikarire Kiriathu-Jearimu ihinda iraaya, ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ ĩrĩ yothe, nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩcakaya na makĩrongooria Jehova.
3 And Samuel speaketh unto all the house of Israel, saying, 'If with all your heart ye are turning back unto Jehovah — turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart unto Jehovah, and serve Him only, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'
Nake Samũeli akĩĩra nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩkorwo nĩmũgũcookerera Jehova na ngoro cianyu ciothe-rĩ, tiganai na ngai ngʼeni na Maashitarothu, na mwĩneane kũrĩ Jehova, na mũmũtungatĩre o we wiki, nake nĩakamũkũũra amũrute guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti.”
4 And the sons of Israel turn aside the Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serve Jehovah alone;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtigana na Mabaali na Maashitarothu, magĩtungatĩra Jehova o we wiki.
5 and Samuel saith, 'Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray for you unto Jehovah.'
Ningĩ Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Cookanĩrĩriai Isiraeli othe kũu Mizipa, na niĩ nĩngamũthaithanĩrĩra harĩ Jehova.”
6 And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before Jehovah, and fast on that day, and say there, 'We have sinned against Jehovah;' and Samuel judgeth the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
Na rĩrĩa maagomanĩte kũu Mizipa, magĩtaha maaĩ makĩmaita mbere ya Jehova. Mũthenya ũcio makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na makiumbũra mehia mao makiugĩra kũu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ twĩhĩirie Jehova.” Nake Samũeli nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria wa Isiraeli kũu Mizipa.
7 And the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence of the Philistines.
Rĩrĩa Afilisti maaiguire atĩ Isiraeli maagomanĩte kũu Mizipa, aathani a Afilisti makĩambata magĩthiĩ makamatharĩkĩre. Na rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maaiguire ũhoro ũcio, makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya nĩ ũndũ wa Afilisti.
8 And the sons of Israel say unto Samuel, 'Keep not silent for us from crying unto Jehovah our God, and He doth save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'
Makĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Ndũgaatige gũkaĩra Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ witũ, nĩgeetha atũhonokie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti.”
9 And Samuel taketh a fat lamb, and causeth it to go up — a burnt-offering whole to Jehovah; and Samuel crieth unto Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answereth him;
Nake Samũeli akĩoya kagondu koongaga na agĩkarutĩra Jehova igongona rĩa njino karĩ kagima o ro ũguo. Agĩkaĩra Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli, nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria ũhoro.
10 and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up — and the Philistines have drawn nigh to battle against Israel — and Jehovah doth thunder with a great noise, on that day, upon the Philistines, and troubleth them, and they are smitten before Israel.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Samũeli aarutaga igongona rĩa njino-rĩ, Afilisti magĩkuhĩrĩria nĩguo marũe na Isiraeli. No mũthenya ũcio Jehova akĩruruma na marurumĩ manene mũno ma gũũkĩrĩra Afilisti, na agĩtũma mamake mũno o nginya magĩtoorio mũno mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
11 And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and smite them unto the place of Beth-Car.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiuma kũu Mizipa naihenya, magĩtengʼeria Afilisti makĩmooragaga kũu njĩra-inĩ, makĩmakinyia mũhuro wa Bethi-Kari.
12 And Samuel taketh a stone, and setteth [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calleth its name Eben-Ezer, saying, 'Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us.'
Ningĩ Samũeli akĩoya ihiga na akĩrĩhaanda gatagatĩ ka Mizipa na Sheni. Akĩrĩĩta Ebeni-Ezeri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nginyagia hau nĩ Jehova ũtũteithĩtie.”
13 And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added any more to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of Jehovah is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afilisti magĩtoorio mũno na matiacookire gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa andũ a Isiraeli rĩngĩ. Ihinda rĩothe rĩrĩa Samũeli aatũũrire muoyo, guoko kwa Jehova gwatũũrire gũũkĩrĩire Afilisti.
14 And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel — from Ekron even unto Gath — and their border hath Israel delivered out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
Namo matũũra marĩa Afilisti maatahĩte kũrĩ Isiraeli kuuma Ekironi nginya Gathu magĩcookerera Isiraeli, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩkũũra bũrũri ũrĩa wariganĩtie na matũũra macio naguo kuuma kũrĩ watho wa Afilisti. Na gũkĩgĩa thayũ gatagatĩ ka Isiraeli na Aamori.
15 And Samuel judgeth Israel all the days of his life,
Samũeli agĩthiĩ na mbere gũtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake.
16 and he hath gone from year to year, and gone round Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;
Mwaka o mwaka nĩathiũrũrũkaga kuuma Betheli nginya Giligali na Mizipa, agatuithanagia andũ a Isiraeli ciira kũndũ guothe.
17 and his returning [is] to Ramath, for there [is] his house, and there he hath judged Israel, and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
No nĩacookaga Rama hĩndĩ ciothe, kũrĩa mũciĩ wake warĩ, o na kũu agatuithanagia ciira kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli arĩ kũu. Nake agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona kũu.
