1 USamuyeli 7
1 Ngakho abantu baseKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi beza balithatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo. Balisa endlini ka-Abhinadabi eqaqeni bangcwelisa u-Eliyazari indodana yakhe ukuba agcine ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo.
Kanaafuu namoonni Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim dhufanii taabota Waaqayyoo fudhatanii ol baʼan. Isaanis gara mana Abiinaadaab kan gaara irra jiruutti geessan; akka inni taabota Waaqayyoo eeguufis ilma isaa Eleʼaazaarin qulqulleessan.
2 Kwakuyisikhathi eside, iminyaka engamatshumi amabili isiyonke, ibhokisi lesivumelwano liseKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi. Njalo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bakhala befuna uThixo.
Taabonni sun erga gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim geeffamee yeroo dheeraa dha; walumaa galatti waggaa digdama taaʼe. Sabni Israaʼel hundinuus booʼichaan Waaqayyotti deebiʼe.
3 USamuyeli wasesithi kuyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli, “Nxa libuyela kuThixo ngezinhliziyo zenu zonke zehlukaniseni labonkulunkulu bezizweni labo-Ashithorethi lizinikele kuThixo njalo likhonze yena kuphela, uzalikhulula esandleni samaFilistiya.”
Saamuʼeelis guutummaa mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Yoo isin garaa keessan guutuudhaan Waaqayyotti deebitanii, waaqota ormaatii fi Ashtooretin waaqeffachuu dhiisuudhaan Waaqayyotti of kennitanii isa qofaaf tajaajiltan, inni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa isin ni baasa.”
4 Ngakho abako-Israyeli babalahla oBhali babo labo-Ashithorethi, bakhonza uThixo kuphela.
Kanaaf Israaʼeloonni Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin calaasanii Waaqayyoon qofa tajaajilan.
5 USamuyeli wasesithi, “Buthanisani u-Israyeli wonke eMizipha mina ngizalikhulekela kuThixo.”
Kana irrattis Saamuʼeel, “Isin Israaʼeloota hundumaa Miisphaatti walitti qabaa; anis Waaqayyoon isiniif nan kadhadhaa” jedhe.
6 Kwathi sebebuthene eMizipha, bakha amanzi bawathela phambi kukaThixo. Ngalolosuku bazila njalo bavuma izono zabo khonapho besithi, “Sonile.” Njalo uSamuyeli wahlulela abantu bako-Israyeli eMizipha.
Isaanis yommuu Miisphaatti walitti qabamanitti bishaan waraabanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaasan. Gaafas soomanii, “Nu Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjenneerra” jedhan. Saamuʼeelis Miisphaatti saba Israaʼel irratti murtii kenna ture.
7 Kwathi amaFilistiya esizwa ukuthi u-Israyeli wayebuthene eMizipha, ababusi bamaFilistiya baya khona ukuyabahlasela. Kwathi abako-Israyeli bekuzwa, besaba ngenxa yamaFilistiya.
Yommuu Filisxeemonni akka Israaʼel Miisphaatti walitti qabame dhagaʼanitti bulchitoonni Filisxeem isaan waraanuudhaaf ol baʼan. Ijoolleen Israaʼelis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti Filisxeemota ni sodaatan.
8 Bathi kuSamuyeli, “Ungayekeli ukusikhalela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ukuba asihlenge esandleni samaFilistiya.”
Isaanis Saamuʼeeliin, “Akka inni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa nu baasuuf gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatti nuu iyyuu hin dhiisin” jedhan.
9 USamuyeli wathatha iwundlu elimunyayo walinikela kuThixo njengomnikelo opheleleyo wokutshiswa. Wamkhulekela kuThixo u-Israyeli, uThixo wamphendula.
Saamuʼeelis ilmoo hoolaa kan hodhu tokko fuudhee jiraa isaa aarsaa gubamu godhee Waaqayyoof dhiʼeesse. Qooda Israaʼelis gara Waaqayyootti iyye; Waaqayyos deebii kenneef.
10 Kwathi uSamuyeli enikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, amaFilistiya asondela eduze ukuba alwe lo-Israyeli. Kodwa mhlalokho uThixo waduma ngomdumo omkhulu emelane lamaFilistiya wawenza athuthumela kangangoba aze achithwachithwa phambi kwabako-Israyeli.
Utuu Saamuʼeel aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaa jiruu Filisxeemonni Israaʼelin loluuf dhiʼaatan. Gaafas garuu Waaqayyo sagalee qaqawwee guddaa isaa isaan irratti qaqawweessaʼee waan isaan joonjesseef Filisxeemonni fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti ni moʼataman.
11 Abantu bako-Israyeli bagijima bephuma eMizipha baxotshana lamaFilistiya bewabulala endleleni baze bayafika endaweni engaphansi kweBhethi-Khari.
Israaʼeloonnis Miisphaadhaa baʼanii Filisxeemota karaa irratti gorraʼaa hamma Beet Kaari jalaatti isaan ariʼan.
12 USamuyeli wasethatha ilitshe walimisa phakathi kweMizipha leSheni. Walibiza ngokuthi yi-Ebhenezeri, esithi, “Kuze kube khathesi uThixo usisizile.”
Ergasii Saamuʼeel dhagaa tokko fuudhee Miisphaa fi Sheen gidduu dhaabe. Maqaa isaas, “Waaqayyo hamma harʼaatti nu gargaareera” jedhee, “Ebeenezer” jedhee moggaase.
13 Ngakho amaFilistiya anqotshwa njalo kawazange ahlasele ilizwe lako-Israyeli futhi. Kuyo yonke impilo kaSamuyeli, isandla sikaThixo sasimelane lamaFilistiya.
Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni waan moʼatamaniif lammata deebiʼanii biyya Israaʼelootaa hin weerarre. Bara jireenya Saamuʼeel guutuu harki Waaqayyoo Filisxeemota irratti ni jabaate.
14 Amadolobho kusukela e-Ekroni kusiya eGathi ayethunjwe ngamaFilistiya ku-Israyeli abuyiselwa kuye, njalo u-Israyeli wakhulula ilizwe eliseduze emandleni amaFilistiya. Njalo kwaba lokuthula phakathi kuka-Israyeli lama-Amori.
Magaalaawwan Filisxeemonni Israaʼel irraa fudhatanii turan kanneen Eqroonii jalqabanii hamma Gaatitti jiran hundinuu Israaʼelootaaf ni deebiʼan. Israaʼelis daangaa ishee Filisxeemota harkaa baafate. Israaʼelii fi Amoorota gidduuttis nageenyi buʼee ture.
15 USamuyeli waqhubeka engumahluleli ka-Israyeli kuzozonke insuku zokuphila kwakhe.
Saamuʼeelis bara jireenya isaa guutuu abbaa murtii saba Israaʼel ture.
16 Iminyaka ngeminyaka wayenquma esuka eBhetheli aye eGiligali leMizipha, esahlulela u-Israyeli kuzozonke lezindawo.
Innis wagguma waggaan Beetʼeel, Gilgaalii fi Miisphaa keessa naannaʼee iddoo hundatti abbaa murtii saba Israaʼel ture.
17 Kodwa wayehlezi ebuyela eRama lapho okwakulomuzi wakhe khona, lakhona wahlulela u-Israyeli. Njalo wakhela uThixo i-alithari.
Ergasiis gara Raamaa iddoo jireenya isaatti deebiʼee achittis saba Israaʼel irratti murtii kenna ture. Achittis Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaare.
