1 USamuyeli 4
1 Ilizwi likaSamuweli lafika kuIsrayeli wonke. UIsrayeli wasephuma ukuyamelana lamaFilisti empini, bamisa inkamba ngaseEbeni-Ezeri, lamaFilisti amisa inkamba eAfeki.
Dubbiin Saamuʼeel Israaʼel hunda bira gaʼe. Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemota waraanuudhaaf baʼan. Israaʼeloonnis Ebeenezer bira, Filisxeemonni immoo Afeeq keessa qubatan.
2 AmaFilisti asezihlela ukumelana loIsrayeli; kwathi impi isabalala, uIsrayeli watshaywa phambi kwamaFilisti; njalo atshaya emaviyweni egangeni phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezine.
Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf loltoota isaanii hiriirsan; akkuma waraanni hoʼeenis Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemotaan moʼatamanii namoonni kumni afur dirree waraanaa irratti ajjeefaman.
3 Kwathi abantu befika enkambeni, abadala bakoIsrayeli bathi: INkosi isitshayeleni lamuhla phambi kwamaFilisti? Asizithatheleni eShilo umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi; nxa usiza phakathi kwethu uzasisindisa esandleni sezitha zethu.
Yommuu loltoonni Israaʼel qubatatti deebiʼanitti maanguddoonni Israaʼel, “Harʼa Waaqayyo maaliif fuula Filisxeemotaa duratti akka nu moʼatamnu godhe? Akka inni nu wajjin deemee harka diinota keenyaa jalaa nu baasuuf taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo Shiiloodhaa haa fidnu” jedhan.
4 Ngakho abantu bathumela eShilo, ukuthi bathathe khona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi yamabandla, ehlala phakathi kwamakherubhi; lamadodana amabili kaEli, uHofini loPhinehasi, ayelapho lomtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
Kanaafuu sabni sun gara Shiilootti namoota erguudhaan taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa kiirubeel gidduu taaʼu sanaa fidan. Ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasis taabota kakuu Waaqaa wajjin achi turan.
5 Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ufika enkambeni, uIsrayeli wonke wahlokoma ngokuhlokoma okukhulu kwaze kwaduma umhlaba.
Yommuu taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo gara qubataatti galetti Israaʼeloonni hundinuu iyya gammachuu guddaa isaa iyyanii lafa sochoosan.
6 Lapho amaFilisti esizwa umsindo wokuhlokoma athi: Utshoni umsindo walokhukuhlokoma okukhulu enkambeni yamaHebheru? Asesazi ukuthi umtshokotsho weNkosi ufikile enkambeni.
Filisxeemonnis yommuu iyya guddaa sana dhagaʼanitti, “Iyyi guddaan qubata Ibrootaa keessaa dhagaʼamu kun maali?” jedhanii gaafatan. Yommuu akka taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo achi gale hubatanittis,
7 AmaFilisti asesesaba, ngoba athi: UNkulunkulu ufikile enkambeni. Athi-ke: Maye kithi! Ngoba kakuzanga kwenzeke okunje mandulo.
Filisxeemonni sodaatanii akkana jedhan; “Waaqni tokko gara qubata Ibrootaa dhufeera; nuuf wayyoo! Wanni akkasii taʼee hin beeku.
8 Maye kithi! Ngubani ozasophula esandleni salaba onkulunkulu abalamandla? Laba ngonkulunkulu abatshaya amaGibhithe ngazo zonke inhlupheko enkangala.
Nuuf wayyoo! Eenyutu waaqota jajjaboo kanneen harkaa nu baasa? Isaan waaqota gammoojjii keessatti dhaʼicha garaa garaatiin warra Gibxi dhaʼanii dha.
9 Qinani, libe ngamadoda, maFilisti, hlezi lisebenzele amaHebheru njengoba alisebenzela. Ngakho banini ngamadoda, lilwe.
Yaa Filisxeemotaa jabaadhaa! Dhiirummaa keessanis argisiisaa. Yoo kanaa achii akkuma isin jara garboomfattan sana Ibroonni garba isin godhatu. Dhiirummaa keessan argisiisaatii lolaa!”
10 Ngakho amaFilisti alwa, loIsrayeli watshaywa, babalekela, ngulowo lalowo ethenteni lakhe. Njalo kwaba lokubulawa okukhulu kakhulu, ngoba kwawa koIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu abahamba ngenyawo.
Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni ni lolan; Israaʼeloonnis moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara dunkaana ofii isaatti baqate. Nama baayʼeetu dhume; Israaʼelis loltoota lafoo kuma soddoma dhabde.
11 Umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu wasuthathwa, lamadodana womabili kaEli, uHofini loPhinehasi, abulawa.
Taabonni Waaqaa ni boojiʼame; ilmaan Eelii lamaanuu Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas ni duʼan.
12 Kwasekugijima umuntu wakoBhenjamini evela emaviyweni, wafika eShilo ngalolosuku, lezigqoko zakhe zidatshuliwe elenhlabathi ekhanda lakhe.
Gaafuma sana namichi Beniyaam tokko wayyaa isaa tarsaasee, mataa isaatti daaraa firfirsee fiigaa gara Shiiloo dhaqe.
13 Ekufikeni kwakhe, khangela-ke, uEli wayehlezi esihlalweni eceleni kwendlela elindile, ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayithuthumelela umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. Kwathi lowomuntu esengenile emzini ukubika, kwakhala umuzi wonke.
Eeliinis yeroo namichi achi gaʼetti sababii waaʼee taabota Waaqaatiif garaan isaa raafameef waa dhagaʼuuf jedhee karaa cina barcuma irra taaʼee eegaa ture. Yeroo namichi sun magaalaa seenee waan taʼe hundumaa odeessetti warri magaalaa sanaa hundi ni iyyan.
14 Lapho uEli esizwa umsindo wokukhala wathi: Uyini umsindo wale inhlokomo? Lowomuntu wasephangisa weza wamtshela uEli.
Eeliinis yommuu iyya sana dhagaʼetti, “Kun iyya maaliitii?” jedhee gaafate. Namichi sunis dafee dhufee Eeliitti hime;
15 Njalo uEli wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye leyisificaminwembili, lamehlo akhe ema ukuthi ayengelakho ukubona.
yeroo kana Eeliin nama waggaa sagaltamii saddeet waan tureef iji isaa arguu dadhabee ture.
16 Lowomuntu wasesithi kuEli: Nginguye ovela emaviyweni; ngibaleke emaviyweni lamuhla. Wasesithi: Kwenziweni, ndodana yami?
Namichis, “Ani ammuma adda waraanaatii dhufuu koo ti; waraana keessaa miliqee baʼuun koos harʼuma” jedhee Eeliitti hime. Eeliinis, “Yaa ilma ko, maaltu taʼe ree?” jedhee gaafate.
17 Owaletha umbiko wasephendula wathi: UIsrayeli ubalekile phambi kwamaFilisti, futhi kube lokubulawa okukhulu ebantwini, njalo lamadodana akho womabili, uHofini loPhinehasi, afile, lomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe.
Namichi oduu fide sun deebisee, “Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemota duraa baqatan; loltoota irras dhumiisa guddaatu gaʼe; ilmaan kee lamaanis Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas ajjeefamaniiru; taabonni Waaqaas boojiʼameera” jedheen.
18 Kwasekusithi esekhulume ngomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, wawa nyovane esihlalweni eceleni kwesango, kwephuka intamo yakhe, wafa, ngoba lowomuntu wayemdala, enzima. Njalo wayahlulele uIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Yommuu inni waaʼee taabota Waaqaa dubbatettis, Eeliin barcuma isaa kan balbala cina ture sana irraa dugda duubatti kufe. Nama dulloomaa dhagni isaa ulfaatu waan tureefis mormi isaa cabee duʼe. Innis waggaa afurtamaaf bulchaa Israaʼel ture.
19 Lomalokazana wakhe, umkaPhinehasi, wayekhulelwe, esezabeletha; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe, lokuthi uyisezala lomkakhe bafile, wakhothama wabeletha, ngoba wafikelwa yimihelo.
Niitiin ilma isaa Fiinehaas ulfa daʼa geesse turte. Isheenis yommuu akka taabonni Waaqaa boojiʼamee fi akka abbaan dhirsa isheetii fi dhirsi ishee duʼan dhageessetti ciniinsuun itti hammaatee jilbeenfattee deesse.
20 Njalo phose ngesikhathi sokufa kwakhe abesifazana ababemi belaye bathi: Ungesabi, ngoba ubelethe indodana. Kodwa kaphendulanga njalo kazange akunanze.
Yeroo isheen duʼuu geessettis dubartoonni ishee gargaaraa turan, “Dhiira deesseertaa jabaadhu” jedhaniin. Isheen garuu homaa hin deebifne yookaan yaadatti hin qabanne.
21 Wambiza umfana ngokuthi nguIkabodi, esithi: Inkazimulo isukile koIsrayeli; ngoba umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe, langenxa kayisezala lomkakhe.
Sababii taabonni Waaqaa boojiʼamee fi sababii abbaan dhirsa isheetii fi dhirsi ishee duʼaniif, “Ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jechuudhaan maqaa mucaa ishee Iikaabood jettee moggaafte.
22 Wasesithi: Inkazimulo isukile koIsrayeli ngoba umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe.
Isheenis, “Taabonni Waaqaa waan boojiʼameef ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jette.
