< 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.
The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the LORD’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the LORD’s ark.
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.
From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented 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.”
Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from amongst you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of 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.
Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, 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.”
Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you.”
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.)
They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
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,
When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 ac fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nikmet tui in pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr tuh Elan molikutla liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying to the LORD our God for us, that he will 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.
Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered 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.
As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
11 Mwet Israel elos illa liki Mizpah ac ukwe mwet Philistia inge. Elos onelosla inkanek lalos nwe ke elos apkuran nu Bethcar.
The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.
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.”
Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “The LORD helped us until now.”
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 Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. The LORD’s hand 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.
The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel el kol mwet Israel in moul lal nufon.
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.
He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those 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.
His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to the LORD there.
