I Samuel 7

1 Immay dagiti tattao ti Kiriat Jearim ket innalada ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh ket impanda iti balay ni Abinadab iti turod. Dinutokanda ti putotna a lalaki a ni Eleazar a mangaywan iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh.

Then the men of Kiriath-jearim arrived, and they led away the ark of the Lord. And they brought it into the house of Abinadab, in Gibeah. Then they sanctified Eleazar, his son, so that he might care for the ark of the Lord.

2 Atiddog a tiempo a nagtalinaed iti Kiriat Jearim ti lakasa ti tulag, nagtalinaed sadiay iti duapulo a tawen. Nagdung-aw amin a balay ti Israel ket tinarigagayanda ti agsubli kenni Yahweh.

And it happened that, from that day, the ark of the Lord remained in Kiriath-jearim. And the days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord.

3 Kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, “No agsublikayo kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusoyo, ikkatenyo dagiti ganggannaet a dios ken Astarte manipud kadakayo, ibaw-ingyo dagiti pusoyo kenni Yahweh, ken isuna laeng ti dayawenyo, ket ispalennakayonto manipud kadagiti ima dagiti Filisteo.”

Then Samuel spoke to the entire house of Israel, saying: “If you would return to the Lord with your whole heart, take away strange gods from among you, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve him alone. And he will rescue you from the hand of the Philistines.”

4 Inikkat ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti Baal ken ti Astarte, ket ni Yahweh laeng ti dinaydayawda.

Therefore, the sons of Israel took away the Baals and Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord alone.

5 Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Ummongenyo ti entero nga Israel idiay Mizpa, ket agkararagakto kenni Yahweh para kadakayo.”

And Samuel said, “Gather all of Israel at Mizpah, so that I may pray for you to the Lord.”

6 Nagummongda idiay Mizpa, nagsakdoda iti danum ket imbukbokda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Nagayunarda iti dayta nga aldaw ket kinunada, “Nagbasolkami kenni Yahweh.” Sadiay ti nangrisutan ni Samuel kadagiti riri dagiti tattao ti Israel ket indauloanna dagiti tattao.

And they convened at Mizpah. And they drew water, and they poured it out in the sight of the Lord. And on that day they fasted, and in that place they said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.

7 Ita, idi nangngeg dagiti Filisteo a naguummong dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Mizpa, rinaut dagiti mangidadaulo iti Filistia ti Israel. Idi nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel daytoy, nagbutengda kadagiti Filisteo.

And the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah. And the princes of the Philistines ascended against Israel. And when the sons of Israel had heard this, they were afraid before the face of the Philistines.

8 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Samuel, “Saanka nga agsardeng nga umawag kenni Yahweh a Diostayo para kadatayo tapno isalakannatayo manipud kadagiti ima dagiti Filisteo.”

And they said to Samuel, “May you not cease to cry out to the Lord our God on our behalf, so that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”

9 Nangala ni Samuel iti agsussuso a karnero ket indatonna daytoy kenni Yahweh a kas sibubukel a daton a mapuoran. Kalpasanna, immasug ni Samuel kenni Yahweh para iti Israel, ket impangag ni Yahweh isuna.

Then Samuel took one suckling lamb, and he offered it whole, as a holocaust to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord heeded him.

10 Kabayatan nga idatdaton ni Samuel ti daton a mapuoran, immasideg dagiti Filisteo tapno darupenda ti Israel; ngem pinaggurruod ni Yahweh iti napigsa iti dayta nga aldaw a maibusor kadagiti Filisteo ken tinikawna ida ket inturongna ida iti sangoanan ti Israel.

Then it happened that, while Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great crash, on that day, over the Philistines, and he terrified them, and they were cut down before the face of Israel.

11 Pimmanaw dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud Mizpa, ket kinamatda dagiti Filisteo agingga idiay Bet-kar ket pinatayda ida.

And the men of Israel, departing from Mizpah, pursued the Philistines, and they struck them down as far as the place which was below Bethcar.

12 Kalpasanna, nangala ni Samuel iti maysa a bato sana inkabil iti nagbaetan ti Mizpa ken Sen. Pinanagananna daytoy iti Ebenezer, a kinunana, “Tinulongannatayo ni Yahweh.”

Then Samuel took a single stone, and he placed it between Mizpah and Shen. And he called the name of this place: The Stone of Assistance. And he said, “For in this place the Lord gave assistance to us.”

13 Naabak ngarud dagiti Filisteo ket saanda a nakastrek iti beddeng ti Israel. Ti ima ni Yahweh ket maibusor kadagiti Filisteo kadagiti amin nga al-aldaw ni Samuel.

And the Philistines were humbled, and they no longer drew near, so that they might enter into the borders of Israel. And so, the hand of the Lord was over the Philistines during all the days of Samuel.

14 Naisubli iti Israel dagiti ili nga innala dagiti Filisteo manipud iti Israel, manipud Ekron agingga idiay Gat; nasubli ti Israel ti masakupanda manipud kadagiti Filisteo. Ket adda kappia iti nagbaetan ti Israel ken dagiti Amorreo.

And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron as far as Gath, with their borders. And he freed Israel from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 Nagbalin nga ukom ni Samuel iti Israel kadagiti amin nga al-aldaw ti biagna.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Tinawen nga agsubli-subli isuna idiay Betel, Gilgal, ken idiay Mizpa. Rinisutna dagiti riri ti Israel kadagitoy amin a lugar.

And he went each year, traveling around to Bethel, and to Gilgal, and to Mizpah, and he judged Israel in the above-stated places.

17 Kalpasanna, agsubli isuna idiay Rama, gapu ta sadiay ti ayan ti balayna; ket sadiay, rinisutna met dagiti riri ti Israel. Nangbangon met isuna sadiay iti altar para kenni Yahweh.

And he returned to Ramah. For his house was there, and he judged Israel there. And then he built an altar to the Lord there.
