1 Samũeli 7
1 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.
And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and bring it into the house of Abinadab, in the height, and they have sanctified his son Eleazar to keep the Ark of YHWH.
2 Ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro nĩrĩaikarire Kiriathu-Jearimu ihinda iraaya, ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ ĩrĩ yothe, nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩcakaya na makĩrongooria Jehova.
And it comes to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the Ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied—indeed, they are twenty years—and all the house of Israel wails after YHWH.
3 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.”
And Samuel speaks to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are turning back to YHWH with all your heart—turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart for YHWH, and serve Him only, and He delivers you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtigana na Mabaali na Maashitarothu, magĩtungatĩra Jehova o we wiki.
And the sons of Israel turn aside the Ba‘alim and Ashtaroth, and serve YHWH alone;
5 Ningĩ Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Cookanĩrĩriai Isiraeli othe kũu Mizipa, na niĩ nĩngamũthaithanĩrĩra harĩ Jehova.”
and Samuel says, “Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray to YHWH for you.”
6 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.
And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before YHWH, and fast on that day, and say there, “We have sinned against YHWH”; and Samuel judges the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
7 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.
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.
8 Makĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Ndũgaatige gũkaĩra Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ witũ, nĩgeetha atũhonokie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti.”
And the sons of Israel say to Samuel, “Do not keep silent for us from crying to our God YHWH, and He saves us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
9 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.
And Samuel takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up—a whole burnt-offering to YHWH; and Samuel cries to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answers him;
10 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.
and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up—and the Philistines have drawn near to battle against Israel—and YHWH thunders with a great noise, on that day, on the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are struck before Israel.
11 Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiuma kũu Mizipa naihenya, magĩtengʼeria Afilisti makĩmooragaga kũu njĩra-inĩ, makĩmakinyia mũhuro wa Bethi-Kari.
And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and strike them to the place of Beth-Car.
12 Ningĩ Samũeli akĩoya ihiga na akĩrĩhaanda gatagatĩ ka Mizipa na Sheni. Akĩrĩĩta Ebeni-Ezeri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nginyagia hau nĩ Jehova ũtũteithĩtie.”
And Samuel takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, “Until now YHWH has helped us.”
13 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.
And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added anymore to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of YHWH is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 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.
And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel—from Ekron even to Gath—and Israel has delivered their border out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
15 Samũeli agĩthiĩ na mbere gũtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake.
And Samuel judges Israel all the days of his life,
16 Mwaka o mwaka nĩathiũrũrũkaga kuuma Betheli nginya Giligali na Mizipa, agatuithanagia andũ a Isiraeli ciira kũndũ guothe.
and he has gone from year to year, and gone around Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;
17 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.
and his returning [is] to Ramath, for his house [is] there, and he has judged Israel there, and he builds an altar to YHWH there.
