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.
The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD and brought it into the house of Abinadab, which was on 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.
It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented 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.
Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you do return to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among 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 Aa le naria’ o ana’ Israeleo o hazomanga’ i Baaleo, naho o Astaroteo, vaho nitoroñe Iehovà avao.
Then the children of Israel removed the Baals 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.
Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, 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.
They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said, "We have sinned against the LORD." 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.
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 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.
The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD your God for us, that he will 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.
Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD: and Samuel cried to 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.
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 on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
11 Niakatse i Mitspè o ana’ Israeleo nañoridañe o nte-Pilistio vaho linafa’ iereo mb’ am-para’ i Bete-kare añe.
The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, as far as below Beth Kar.
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 Jashan, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "The LORD helped us until now."
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 territory of Israel. 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.
The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Nizakae’ i Samoele amo hene andro’eo t’Israele.
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.
He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel 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.
His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to the LORD.
