< 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.
Enti Kiriat-Yearimfo begyee Awurade Apam Adaka no. Wɔde kɔɔ Abinadab fi a ɛda bepɔw nkyɛn baabi. Ɛhɔ na wodwiraa ne babarima Eleasar sɛ ɔnhwɛ so.
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.
Apam Adaka no kyɛe yiye wɔ Kiriat-Yearim. Edii mfirihyia aduonu wɔ hɔ. Saa bere no Israel nyinaa twaa agyaadwo, efisɛ na ayɛ sɛ Awurade agyaw wɔn.
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.”
Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa se, “Sɛ mode mo koma nyinaa resan akɔ Awurade nkyɛn de a, ɛno de, montwe mo ho mfi ananafo anyame ne Astoret ahoni ho. Munsi mo adwene pi sɛ mobɛyɛ osetie ama Awurade, na monsom ɔno nko, na obegye mo afi Filistifo nsam.”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtigana na Mabaali na Maashitarothu, magĩtungatĩra Jehova o we wiki.
Enti Israelfo no too Baalim ne Astoret gui, som Awurade nko.
5 Ningĩ Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Cookanĩrĩriai Isiraeli othe kũu Mizipa, na niĩ nĩngamũthaithanĩrĩra harĩ Jehova.”
Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa se, “Mo nyinaa mommra Mispa, na memmɔ Awurade mpae mma mo.”
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.
Enti wɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ. Na wɔn anyankamade mu no, wɔsaw nsu fi abura bi mu, na wohwie guu Awurade anim. Wodii abuada da no, na wɔkaa nokware sɛ wɔayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Enti Mispa hɔ na Samuel bɛyɛɛ Israel so temmufo.
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.
Bere a Filistifo sodifo no tee sɛ Israel nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Mispa no, wɔboaboaa wɔn asraafo ano, tu teɛe. Na Israelfo no tee sɛ Filistifo no rebɛn wɔn no, wɔn koma tuu yiye.
8 Makĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Ndũgaatige gũkaĩra Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ witũ, nĩgeetha atũhonokie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Afilisti.”
Woguan toaa Samuel se, “Srɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, na onnye yɛn mfi Filistifo nsam.”
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.
Enti Samuel faa oguan ba a onnyinii de ne mua no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Ɔsrɛɛ Awurade maa Israelfo, na Awurade tiei.
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.
Bere a Samuel gu so rebɔ ɔhyew afɔre no, Filistifo no baa sɛ wɔrebɛko. Nanso Onyankopɔn de aprannaa nne a emu yɛ duru yiye kasa fi soro, maa basabasayɛ sii Filistifo no mu, maa Israelfo no dii wɔn so nkonim.
11 Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiuma kũu Mizipa naihenya, magĩtengʼeria Afilisti makĩmooragaga kũu njĩra-inĩ, makĩmakinyia mũhuro wa Bethi-Kari.
Israel mmarima pam wɔn fi Mispa, kosii Bet-Kar, kunkum wɔn guu ɔkwan so.
12 Ningĩ Samũeli akĩoya ihiga na akĩrĩhaanda gatagatĩ ka Mizipa na Sheni. Akĩrĩĩta Ebeni-Ezeri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nginyagia hau nĩ Jehova ũtũteithĩtie.”
Ɛnna Samuel faa ɔbo kɛse bi de sii Mispa ne Sen ntam. Na ɔtoo no din Ebeneser a ase ne “Ɔboa bo” na ɔkae se, “Ɛha na Awurade aboa yɛn abesi!”
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.
Enti wodii Filistifo no so, na wɔantumi ammegye Israelfo nsase amfa wɔ bere tenten bi mu. Na Samuel nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Awurade nsa a ɛyɛ den no tiaa Filistifo.
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.
Na Israel nkurow a ɛbɛn Ekron ne Gat no a na Filistifo no agyigye no. Wɔde asase a aka a Filistifo no agyigye no kaa ho. Ɛmaa asomdwoe baa Israel ne Amorifo ntam saa bere no.
15 Samũeli agĩthiĩ na mbere gũtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake.
Samuel kɔɔ so yɛɛ Israel so temmufo ne nkwa nna a aka nyinaa.
16 Mwaka o mwaka nĩathiũrũrũkaga kuuma Betheli nginya Giligali na Mizipa, agatuithanagia andũ a Isiraeli ciira kũndũ guothe.
Afe biara, na otu kwan kyinkyin bu atɛn wɔ nʼasennii. Ofi ase wɔ Bet-El de kɔ Gilgal na wawie wɔ Mispa. Obuu Israelfo atɛn wɔ saa nkurow yi biara so.
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.
Afei, na ɔsan ba ne kurom Rama bedi nsɛm wɔ hɔ nso. Na Samuel sii afɔremuka wɔ Rama de maa Awurade.
