< 1 Samuel 5 >

1 Mgbe ndị Filistia buuru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke, ha si Ebeneza buru ya buga Ashdọd.
Mushure mokunge vaFiristia vapamba areka yaMwari, vakaitora kubva kuEbhenezeri vakaenda nayo kuAshidhodhi.
2 Ha butere igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke, buba ya nʼime ụlọ Dagọn, dọba ya nʼakụkụ Dagọn.
Ipapo vakatakura areka vakapinda nayo mutemberi yaDhagoni vakaiisa parutivi rwaDhagoni.
3 Mgbe ndị Ashdọd tetara nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ma lee, Dagọn adaala, kpuo ihu ya nʼala nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị. Ha bulikwara Dagọn elu doghachi ya nʼọnọdụ ya.
Vanhu veAshidhodhi pavakamuka mangwanani-ngwanani zuva raitevera, wanei hoyo Dhagoni akawira pasi nechiso pamberi peareka yaJehovha! Vakatora Dhagoni vakamudzosera panzvimbo yake.
4 Ma nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Dagọn adakwala kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị. Isi ya na aka ya abụọ dakapụrụ, tọgbọrọ na mbata ọnụ ụzọ, Ọ bụkwa naanị ogwe ahụ ya fọdụrụ.
Asi mangwanani aitevera pavakamuka wanei hoyo Dhagoni akawira pasi nechiso pamberi peareka yaJehovha! Musoro wake namaoko zvakanga zvadimbuka zvisisipo uye zviri pasi pachikumbaridzo chomukova, muviri wake bedzi ndiwo wakanga wangosara.
5 Ọ bụ nke a mere, site mgbe ahụ ruo taa, ndị nchụaja Dagọn na ndị niile na-abata nʼụlọ Dagọn, adịghị azọ ụkwụ ha nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata ụlọ Dagọn dị nʼAshdọd.
Ndokusaka kusvika nanhasi kusina vaprista vaDhagoni kana vamwewo zvavo vanopinda mutemberi yaDhagoni paAshidhodhi vanotsika pachikumbaridzo chomukova.
6 Aka Onyenwe anyị malitere ịdị arọ nʼahụ ndị Ashdọd, ha na obodo ndị ọzọ gbara ya gburugburu, o ji etuto dị iche iche menye ha egwu ma bibiekwa ha nʼAshdọd nʼoke ala ya niile.
Ruoko rwaMwari rwakatambudza zvikuru vanhu veAshidhodhi nenzvimbo dzakaikomberedza; akauyisa kuparadzwa pamusoro pavo uye akavarova namamota.
7 Mgbe ndị Ashdọd hụrụ ihe na-eme, ha sịrị, “Anyị achọghị ka igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke nke Izrel dịrị nʼetiti anyị, nʼihi na aka ya dị ike nʼahụ anyị, otu aka ahụkwa na chi anyị Dagọn.”
Vanhu veAshidhodhi pavakaona zvakanga zvichiitika vakati, “Areka yaMwari weIsraeri haifaniri kugara pano nesu nokuti ruoko rwake rwatitambudza zvikuru isu naDhagoni mwari wedu.”
8 Ya mere, ha ziri ozi kpọkọta ndịisi ndị Filistia niile, jụọ ha sị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme igbe chi ndị Izrel?” Ha zara, “Ka e buru igbe chi ndị Izrel buga ya nʼobodo Gat.” Ya mere ha buuru igbe Chineke nke Izrel buga Gat.
Saka vakadana pamwe chete vatongi vose vavaFiristia vakavabvunza vachiti, “Toitei neareka yaMwari weIsraeri?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Itai kuti areka yaMwari weIsraeri iendeswe kuGati.” Saka vakabvisa areka yaMwari weIsraeri.
9 Ma mgbe ha bubatara ya na Gat, akaOnyenwe anyị malitere imegide obodo ahụ. O tinyere ndị obodo ahụ nʼọnọdụ oke egwu. O tiri ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ ihe otiti, ma nwantakịrị ma dimkpa, etuto dị iche iche toro ha nʼahụ.
Asi mushure mokunge vaibvisa, ruoko rwaMwari rwakarwisana neguta iroro, uye akarivhundutsa nokuvhundutsa kukuru. Akarova vanhu veguta iroro, vakuru navadiki, namamota.
10 Ya mere, ha zilara igbe ahụ Ekrọn. Ma mgbe igbe ahụ na-abata Ekrọn, ndị Ekrọn kwara akwa sị, “Ha e burula igbe ọgbụgba ndụ chi ndị Izrel butere anyị, ka anyị na ndị anyị nwụsịa!”
Saka vakaendesa areka yaMwari kuEkironi. Areka yaMwari payakanga yava kupinda muEkironi, vanhu veEkironi vakadanidzira, vachiti, “Vauyisa areka yaMwari weIsraeri kuti vatiuraye isu navanhu vedu.”
11 Ya mere, ha kpọkọtara ndịisi ndị Filistia niile sị ha, “Sinụ nʼobodo zipụ igbe chi ndị Izrel, maọbụ zighachinụ ya nʼobodo e si bute ya na mbụ, ka ọ hapụ igbuchapụ anyị na ndị anyị.” Nʼihi egwu maka ọnwụ ejidela ndị niile bi nʼobodo. Aka Chineke dịkwa ike nke ukwuu megide obodo ahụ.
Saka vakadana pamwe chete vatongi vose vavaFiristia vakati, “Dzoserai areka yaMwari weIsraeri kwakare, regai idzokere kunzvimbo kwayo, nokuti ichatiuraya isu navanhu vedu.” Nokuti rufu rwakanga rwazadza guta nokuvhunduka; ruoko rwaMwari rwakanga rwaritambudza zvikuru.
12 Ndị na-anwụghị ka e mere ka etuto jupụta ha nʼahụ, mkpu akwa nke ndị obodo ahụ ruru eluigwe.
Avo vasina kufa vakarohwa namamota uye kuchema kweguta kwakakwira kudenga.
