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 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 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 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 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 to all the house of Israel, saying, If you 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 Aa le naria’ o ana’ Israeleo o hazomanga’ i Baaleo, naho o Astaroteo, vaho nitoroñe Iehovà avao.
And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, 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 Massephath, and I will pray for you to 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 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 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 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 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 to the Lord your God for us, and he shall 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 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 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 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 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 forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated 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 Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
