1 Ale Kiriat Yearimtɔwo va tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi ɖada ɖe Abinadab ƒe aƒe si le to dzi la me. Wokɔ via, Eleazar, ŋuti be wòakpɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la dzi.
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 Nubablaɖaka la nɔ Kiriat Yearim ƒe blaeve. Israelviwo xa nu to ƒe siawo me elabena edze na wo abe ɖe Yehowa gblẽ wo ɖi ene.
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 Samuel gblɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la be, “Ne mieɖo ta me kplikpaa be yewoatrɔ ayi Yehowa gbɔ la, ekema miɖe asi le miaƒe dzromawuwo kple Astarɔtwo ŋu. Miɖo ta me kplikpaa azɔ be miaɖo to Yehowa ɖeɖe ko ekema aɖe mi tso Filistitɔwo si me.”
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 Ale woɖe asi le Baal kple Astarɔtwo ŋuti eye wosubɔ Yehowa ɖeɖe ko.
Pea naʻe toki tukuange ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻa Peali mo ʻAsitelote, ʻonau tauhi pē kia Sihova.
5 Samuel gblɔ na wo be, “Mi katã miva Mizpa eye mado gbe ɖa na Yehowa ɖe mia ta.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Samuela, “Fakakātoa ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Misipa, pea te u hūfia ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova.”
6 Wova kpe ta ɖe Mizpa, woku tsi tso vudo aɖe me kɔ ɖe anyigba le Yehowa ŋkume eye wotsi nu dɔ ŋkeke blibo ɖeka abe nuxaxa ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta ene. Ale Samuel zu Israel ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la le Mizpa.
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 Esi Filistitɔwo ƒe amegãwo se nya tso takpekpe gã si wowɔ le Mizpa ŋu la, woƒo woƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu eye wolũ ɖe Israelviwo dzi. Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Israelviwo ŋutɔ esi wose be Filistitɔwo gogo yewo.
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 Wogblɔ na Samuel be, “Mègadzudzɔ kokoƒoƒo na Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ɖe mía ta o, ale be wòaɖe mí tso Filistitɔwo ƒe asi me.”
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 Ale Samuel tsɔ alẽvi aɖe sa numevɔ na Yehowa eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be wòave Israel nu. Edo ɣli na Yehowa ɖe Israel nu eye Yehowa se eƒe gbedodoɖa.
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 Esi Samuel nɔ numevɔ sam ko la, Filistitɔwo ƒo ɖe Israelviwo dzi bibibi hena aʋawɔwɔ. Ke Yehowa ɖe gbe kple dziɖegbe ƒe gbe ɖe Filistitɔwo dzi, ŋɔdzi lé wo eye wotɔtɔ. Israelviwo dze wo dzi, fiti wo.
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 Israel ŋutsuwo do go tso Mizpa heti Filistitɔwo yome kple du eye wonɔ wo wum le mɔ dzi va se ɖe Bet Kar ƒe anyigbe ke.
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 Samuel tsɔ kpe aɖe da ɖe Mizpa kple Sen dome eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “Ebenezer” si gɔme nye “Amenuvekpe” elabena egblɔ be, “Afi siae Yehowa ve mía nu va se ɖo!”
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 Ale wobɔbɔ Filistitɔwo ɖe anyi eye womegaho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu kpɔ o elabena Yehowa tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu le Samuel ƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo katã me.
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 Israelviwo gbugbɔ woƒe du siwo nɔ Ekron kple Gat dome eye wonɔ Filistitɔwo si me la xɔ. Israel ɖe nuto siwo ƒo xlã wo la hã tso Filistitɔwo ƒe asi me. Ale ŋutifafa nɔ Israel kple Amoritɔwo dome.
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 Samuel yi eƒe dɔ dzi abe Israel ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ene le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae fakamaau ʻe Samuela ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
16 Etsana ƒe sia ƒe drɔ̃a ʋɔnu gbã le Betel, emegbe le Gilgal eye le eya yome la, le Mizpa. Ale wòdrɔ̃a ʋɔnu na Israel le teƒe siawo katã.
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 Egatrɔna vaa Rama elabena afi mae nye eƒe nɔƒe eye wògadrɔ̃a ʋɔnu le afi sia hã. Eɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe Rama.
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.
