1 Samue 4

1 Hagi Samuelima miko ke'ma Israeli vahe'ma zmasamige'za antahite'za hatera vu'naze. Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Filistia vahe ha' huzmante'naku Ebenesa kumate seli no ome ki'za mani'nage'za, Filistia vahe'mo'za Afeki kumate seli nona eme ki'za mani'naze.

And Samuel told to all the people of Israel the messages that God gave him. At that time the Israeli army went to fight against the army of the Philistine people. The Israeli army set up their tents at Ebenezer, and the Philistine army set up their tents at Aphek.

2 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za rama'a sondia vahe zamazeri retrotra hute'za, avazuhumpi hu'za nevu'za, Israeli vahera tusi'a ha' ome huzamante'za 4 tauseni'a sondia vahe ana zupa zamahe fri'naze.

The Philistine army attacked the Israeli army, and as the battle continued, the Philistines defeated the Israelis and killed about 4,000 of their soldiers.

3 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'zama ha'tetima azage'za kva vahe'mo'za hu'za, na'a higeno Ra Anumzamo'a tatregeno Filistia vahe'mo'za hara hutagateraze? Hagi tagra Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia Sailo kumatetira omerineta hatera nevanunkeno, ha' vahetimo'za tahe'zankura ana zamo tagu'vazigahie.

When the remaining Israeli soldiers returned to their camp, the Israeli elders/leaders said, “Why did Yahweh allow the Philistine army to defeat us today? We should bring the chest that contains the Ten Commandments here from Shiloh, in order that Yahweh will go with us [when we go to the battle again, and] in order that our enemies will not defeat us again!”

4 Anagema hute'za sondia vahe huzmantage'za Sailo kumatetira Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima tarega kazigama Serobimi ankerontrema mani'nakeno Anumzamo'ma amu'nompima nemania vogisia ome eri'naze. Hagi Elina tare mofavrearare Hofani'ene Finiasikea ana hugagerafi huvempage bogisine e'na'e.

So the soldiers did that. They sent some men to Shiloh, and those men brought back the chest that contained the Ten Commandments. [They thought that if they did that, Yahweh would help them. They believed that] Yahweh sat on a throne between the statues of winged creatures [that were on top of] the chest that Yahweh Almighty [had given them]. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, went with them.

5 Hagi seli nonkuma'ma ome ante'za mani'nafima ana huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'za ehanatizage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za kezanke hu'za rankema hu'naza agasasamo'a mopa azeri tore hu'ne.

When the Israeli people saw [the men bringing] the box into their camp, they were so happy that they shouted loudly. They shouted so loudly that they made the ground shake!

6 Hagi ana agasankema Filistia vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, Hibru vahe seli nonkumapina naza fore nehie, hu'za hu'nazanagi henkama antahi'zana Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisi Hibru vahe'mo'za eri'za e'nazanke antahi'naze.

The Philistines asked, “What are the people in the Hebrew camp shouting about?” Someone told them that they were shouting because the chest that contained the Ten Commandments of Yahweh had been brought to them.

7 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahe'mokizmi mago anumzazamimo seli nonkuma zamifina e'ne, hu'za nehu'za e'inahukna zana kora nonkonaza forehie.

Then the Philistines became very afraid. They said, “One of the Israelis’ gods has come into their camp [to help them] We are in big trouble now! Nothing like this has happened to us before!

8 Tagra tusi'a hazenkefi manigahu'ne, iza taza huno hankavenentake anumzazmimofo azampintira tavretregahie? E'i ruzahu ruzahu knazanteti ka'ma kopima Isipi vahe'ma zamazeri haviza hu'nea anumzane.

(Who can/Can anyone) save us from their powerful gods [RHQ]? They are the gods who struck the people of Egypt with many plagues [before the Israelis left Egypt and traveled] through the desert.

9 Hagi Filistia vahe'mota ru Hibru vahe'mo'zama tagri kazokzo eri'zama eri'nazankna huta, tagra zamagri kazokzo eri'za erisunki, vene'ne mani'nonanki oti hanaveti'neta hara huzmantesune.

You Philistine men, be courageous! Fight very hard! If you do not do that, [they will defeat us, and then] you will become their slaves, just like they have been our slaves previously!”

10 Hagi ana zupa Filistia vahe'mo'za hanavetiza hara hu'za Israeli vahera zamarotago hu'za rama'a vahe 30 tauseni'a zamahe fri'zageno manizama'amo'za atre'za fre'za seli nonkuma zamirega vu'naze.

So the Philistine men fought very hard, and they defeated the Israelis. They killed 30,000 Israeli soldiers, and the other Israeli soldiers fled and ran away to their tents.

11 Hagi ana zupage huhagerafi huvempage vogisia Filistia vahe'mo'za zamahe'za nehanre'za, Elina tare ne' mofavre'ararena Hopnine Finiasinena zanahe fri'naze.

The Philistines captured the sacred chest, and they killed Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas.

12 Hagi ana zupage Benzameni nagapinti mago ne'mo ha'ma nehazafinti atreno agareno Sailo kumate vuno kukena'a ome tagoto tagatu nehuno, kugusopa kateno anumpi netreno, asunkura hu'ne.

On that same day, one man of the tribe [descended from] Benjamin tore his clothes and threw dirt on his head [to show that he was very sad]. He ran from the place where the armies were fighting, and he arrived at Shiloh late [that afternoon].

13 Hagi Eli'a nemania tra'a erino eme anteno kante mani'neno negeno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisigura tusi agesa nentahino asunku nehigeno, ana ne'mo'a kumapina ufreno ana nanekea zamasamige'za ana rankumapi vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa hu'naze.

Eli was waiting beside the road. [He wanted to hear news about the battle, and] he was also very anxious to know if anything bad had happened to God’s sacred chest. When the messenger arrived and told people what had happened, everyone in the town started to cry loudly.

14 Hagi ana kumapinti'ma zavi krafagema hazanke'ma Eli'ma nentahino, nazafore nehie? Huno nehigeno ana ne'mo'a ame huno eno ana nanekea eme asami'ne.

Eli asked, “Why are they making all that noise?” The messenger ran over to Eli and told him the news.

15 Hagi ana knarera Eli'a 98'a kafu higeno, avumo'a asu hu'negeno keso'e osu'ne.

At that time, Eli was 98 years old, and he was blind.

16 Hagi ana ne'mo'a Elina asamino, Nagra ha'pintira meni ama e'noe, higeno Eli'a huno, mofavrenimoka inankna ha'mo'a nehifi nasamio?

The messenger said to Eli, “I have just come from where the armies were fighting. I left there earlier today.” Eli asked, “What happened?”

17 Higeno ana kema erino e'nea ne'mo'a Elina asamino, Israeli vahe'mo'za kore atre'za frageno, Filistia sondia vahe'mo'za tusia vahe zamahazageno, anampina tare ne' mofavreka'ararena Hopnike Finiasikea frikeno, hago huhagerafi huvempage vogisia Filistia vahe'mo'za eri'naze.

The man replied, “The Philistines defeated our Israeli army. They killed thousands of our soldiers, and the others ran away. The Philistines killed your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. They also captured God’s sacred chest.”

18 Hagi Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'naze ke'ma Eli'a nentahino'a amagenaregati traka huno umasegeno, rankumamofo kafante aheno ananke rehantagigeno fri'ne. Na'ankure agra ranafaregeno avufamo'a kna hu'ne. Hagi Eli'a 40'a kafufi Israeli vahe kva mani'ne.

Eli was very old, and he was very fat; and when he heard what had happened to the sacred chest, he fell backward from his chair beside the town gate. His neck was broken and he died. He had led the Israeli people for 40 years before he died.

19 Hagi Finiasi nenaro'a amu'ene hu'neno mofavre ante'za nehia knafi anazana fore higeno, ana a'mo'ma antahiama Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisi'a ha' vahe'mo'za erizageno, nenofero ne'ma frigeno, neve'ma fria kema nentahino'a ame huno ata negrigeno renareno mofavrea kasente'ne.

The wife/widow of Eli’s son Phinehas was pregnant, and it was almost time for her to give birth to her baby. When she heard that God’s sacred chest had been captured and that her husband and her father-in-law were dead, her labor pains suddenly began. She quickly gave birth to a boy.

20 Hagi mofavrema kasenenteno fri'zama nehigeno'a, mofavrema azahuno antenemia a'mo'a asamino, ne' mofavre kasentananki korora osuo, huno asamianagi, ana kenona'a osu'ne.

The women who were helping her tried to encourage her by saying to her, “You have given birth to a son!” But she did not pay any attention [DOU] to what they said.

21 Ana higeno ana mofavremofo agi'a Ikabotie huno antemineankino, ana agimofo agafa'a Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamofo hanavemo'a hago tatre'ne hu'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia erizageno, nenanofero nera hago fri'geno neve'enena fri'negeno'e.

She named the boy Ichabod, which means ‘no glory’, because she said, “[God’s] glory has departed from Israel.” She said that because God’s sacred chest had been captured and because her husband and her father-in-law had died.

22 Hagi ana amo'a huno, Anumzamofo hanavemo'a hago Israeli vahera tatre'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia hago ha' vahe'mo'za eri'naze.

She said, “[God’s] glory has left Israel, because God’s sacred chest has been captured!” And then she died.
