1 Samoela 7
1 Nimb’eo o nte-Kiriate-Iearimeo nangalake i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày vaho nasese’ iareo mb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Abinadabe mb’ an-kaboam-b’eo. Nafanto’ iareo amy Eleatsare ty fitoloñañe miavake hañambena’e i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày.
And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
2 Taoñe maro ty nimodo te nitoboke e Kiriate-Iearime ao i vatam-pañinay, toe roapolo taoñe; le nitoreo am’ Iehovà ty valobohò’ Israele.
And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel yearned after the LORD.
3 Hoe t’i Samoele amy valobohò’ Israeley, Naho toe himpoly amy Iehovà an-kaampon’ arofo nahareo, le apitsoho añe o ‘ndrahare hafao, naho o Astarote añivo’ areoo, le hentseño ho am’ Iehovà o arofo’ areoo vaho ie avao ty toroñeñe, vaho ho haha’e am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
And Samuel spoke unto all the house of Israel, saying: 'If ye do return unto the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'
4 Aa le naria’ o ana’ Israeleo o hazomanga’ i Baaleo, naho o Astaroteo, vaho nitoroñe Iehovà avao.
Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
5 Le hoe t’i Samoele, Atontono mb’e Mitspè t’Israele iaby, vaho hihalaliako amy Iehovà.
And Samuel said: 'Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.'
6 Aa le nifanontoñe e Mitspè iereo naho nitari-drano, naho nadoa’e añatrefa’Iehovà, le nililitse amy andro zay, vaho nanao ty hoe: Toe aman-kakeo amy Iehovà zahay. Aa le nizaka o ana’ Israeleo e Mitspè ao t’i Samoele.
And 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.' And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7 Ie jinanji’ o nte-Pilistio te nivory e Mitspè ao o ana’ Israeleo, le nionjo haname Israele o talèm-Pilistio. Jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo le nirevendreveñe amo nte-Pilistio.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo amy Samoele: Ko mitofa amy fikoiha’o Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tikañey ho anay, te ho rombahe’e am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'
9 Aa le nangalak’ anak’ añondry t’i Samoele naho nengae’e ho soron-koroañe am’ Iehovà, le nikanjy Iehovà ty am’ Israele t’i Samoele, vaho nanoiñe aze t’Iehovà.
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto the LORD; and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him.
10 Aa naho nisoroña’ i Samoele i engan-koroañey, naho ie niheo mb’eo o nte-Pilistio hifañotakotak’ am’ Israele, vaho nampiparapapiaha’ Iehovà àmpiñe jabajaba amo nte-Pilistio, nampibaibay iareo henane zay, zinevoñ’ aolo’ Israele.
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.
11 Niakatse i Mitspè o ana’ Israeleo nañoridañe o nte-Pilistio vaho linafa’ iereo mb’ am-para’ i Bete-kare añe.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
12 Nandrambe vato amy zao t’i Samoele le natroa’e añivo’ i Mitspè naho i Sene eo vaho natao’e Ebene ha’izere, ami’ty hoe: Efets’eo ty nañolora’ Iehovà antika.
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying: 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.'
13 Aa le nianjiñe o nte-Pilistio, naho tsy nomb’ an-tane’ Israele mb’eo ka; vaho niatreatre o nte-Pilistio amo hene andro’ i Samoeleo ty fità’ Iehovà;
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel; and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Nampoly amy Israele o rova iaby tinava’ o nte-Pilistio am’Israeleo; boak’ Ekrone pake Gate; le navotso’ Israele am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio o tane’eo. Niharo rehak’ am’ Israele ka o nte-Amoreo.
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Nizakae’ i Samoele amo hene andro’eo t’Israele.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 Nitolom-piary mb’e Betele naho mb’e Gilgale vaho mb’e Mitspè mb’eo re boa-taom-boa-taoñe; le hene nizakae’e amy toetse rey t’Israele.
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
17 I Ramà ty fiolia’e, amy te tao i anjomba’ey; nizaka Israele ao re vaho naore’e eo ty kitreli’ Iehovà.
And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and he built there an altar unto the LORD.
