Sie Samuel 7

1 Ke ma inge, mwet Kiriath Jearim elos tuku ac eis Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac usla nu in lohm sel Abinadab, su muta fineol uh. Ac elos aknasnasyal Eleazar, wen natul, tuh elan liyaung Tuptup sac.

And the men of Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

2 Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan in acn Kiriath Jearim in pacl na loes se, akuran yac longoul. In pacl se inge mwet Israel nukewa elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.

And it came to pass from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.

3 Na Samuel el kaskas nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Fin pwaye lah kowos ac fah foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD ke insiowos kewa, na kowos in sisla god saya nukewa ac ma sruloala kacl god mutan Astarte. Kowos in eiskowosyang nu sin LEUM GOD ke inse pwaye, ac alu nu sel mukena, na el ac fah molikowosla liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”

And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

4 Ke ma inge, mwet Israel elos sisla ma sruloala kacl Baal ac Astarte, ac elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD mukena.

And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.

5 Na Samuel el sap mwet Israel nukewa in fahsreni nu in acn Mizpah, ac el fahk, “Nga ac fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD keiwos we.”

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.

6 Na mwet nukewa elos tukeni nu Mizpah. Elos ut kof ac okoala tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos lalo len sac nufon. Ac elos fahk, “Kut orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.” (Acn Mizpah pa acn se ma Samuel el muta we ke el aksuwosye fohs inmasrlon mwet Israel.)

And they were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.

7 Ke mwet Philistia elos lohng lah mwet Israel elos tukeni nu Mizpah, na tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos mukuiyak wi mwet lalos in tuh mweun lain mwet Israel. Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma inge, elos arulana sangeng,

And the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.

8 ac fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nikmet tui in pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr tuh Elan molikutla liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord thy God for us, and he shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9 Samuel el eis soko sheep fusr ac kisakin tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD. Ac Samuel el pre nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasru mwet Israel. Ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it up as a whole-burnt-offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.

10 Ke Samuel el srakna oru kisa lal, mwet Philistia elos fahsryang in lainulos. Tusruktu, in pacl sacna LEUM GOD El oru pulahl lulap inkusrao me in lain mwet Philistia, ac elos arulana fohsak kac ac kaing.

And Samuel was offering the whole-burnt-offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.

11 Mwet Israel elos illa liki Mizpah ac ukwe mwet Philistia inge. Elos onelosla inkanek lalos nwe ke elos apkuran nu Bethcar.

And the men of Israel went forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them to the parts under Baethchor.

12 Na Samuel el eis sie eot, ac oakiya inmasrlon acn Mizpah ac Shen, ac el fahk, “LEUM GOD El kasrekut ke ma nukewa nwe ke len se inge.” Ac el sang inen eot sac “Ebenezer.”

And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

13 Ouinge, mwet Philistia kutangyukla, ac poun LEUM GOD lainulos ac elos koflana sifil utyak nu in facl sin mwet Israel ke lusenna moul lal Samuel.

So the Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 Siti nukewa ma mwet Philistia elos tuh sruokya inmasrlon acn Ekron ac Gath, elos folokonang nu sin mwet Israel. Ke ma inge acn nukewa lun mwet Israel folokyang nu selos. Oasr pac misla inmasrlon mwet Israel ac mwet Canaan.

And the cities which the Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.

15 Samuel el kol mwet Israel in moul lal nufon.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Ke yac nukewa el ac fahsr rauni acn Bethel, Gilgal, ac Mizpah, ac aksuwosye fohs inmasrlon mwet uh.

And he went year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated places.

17 Na el ac folokla nu Ramah, acn sel, ac sifilpa oru nununku lal we. Ac el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Ramah.

And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
