1 USamuyeli 4
1 Ilizwi likaSamuweli lafika kuIsrayeli wonke. UIsrayeli wasephuma ukuyamelana lamaFilisti empini, bamisa inkamba ngaseEbeni-Ezeri, lamaFilisti amisa inkamba eAfeki.
U waⱪitta Israil Filistiylǝr bilǝn jǝng ⱪilƣili qiⱪip Əbǝn-Əzǝrgǝ yeⱪin jayda bargaⱨ-qedirlarni tikti. Filistiylǝr bolsa Afǝk degǝn jayda bargaⱨ-qedirlarni tikti.
2 AmaFilisti asezihlela ukumelana loIsrayeli; kwathi impi isabalala, uIsrayeli watshaywa phambi kwamaFilisti; njalo atshaya emaviyweni egangeni phose amadoda azinkulungwane ezine.
Filistiylǝr Israillar bilǝn soⱪuxⱪili sǝp tizip turdi. Jǝng kengǝygǝndǝ Israil Filistiylǝr aldida tarmar boldi; Filistiylǝr ularning jǝng sǝpliridin tɵt mingqǝ adǝmni ɵltürdi.
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.
Halayiⱪ bargaⱨⱪa yenip kǝlgǝndǝ, Israilning aⱪsaⱪalliri: — Nemixⱪa Pǝrwǝrdigar bügün bizni Filistiylǝr tǝripidin tarmar ⱪildurdi? Biz Xiloⱨdin Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini ⱪeximizƣa elip kelǝyli; u arimizda bolsa, bizni düxminimizning ⱪolidin ⱪutⱪuzidu, dedi.
4 Ngakho abantu bathumela eShilo, ukuthi bathathe khona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi yamabandla, ehlala phakathi kwamakherubhi; lamadodana amabili kaEli, uHofini loPhinehasi, ayelapho lomtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
Xu gǝptin keyin halayiⱪ Xiloⱨƣa adǝm mangdurup, xu yǝrdin kerublarning otturisida olturƣan samawi ⱪoxunlarning Sǝrdari Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini elip kɵtürüp kǝldi. Xuningdǝk Əlining ikki oƣli Hofniy bilǝn Finiⱨasmu Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi bilǝn billǝ kǝldi.
5 Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ufika enkambeni, uIsrayeli wonke wahlokoma ngokuhlokoma okukhulu kwaze kwaduma umhlaba.
Wǝ xundaⱪ boldiki, Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi lǝxkǝrgaⱨⱪa elip kelingǝndǝ pütkül Israil yǝrni tǝwrǝtküdǝk küqlük bir quⱪan kɵtürüxti.
6 Lapho amaFilisti esizwa umsindo wokuhlokoma athi: Utshoni umsindo walokhukuhlokoma okukhulu enkambeni yamaHebheru? Asesazi ukuthi umtshokotsho weNkosi ufikile enkambeni.
Filistiylǝr küqlük tǝntǝnǝ awazini anglap: — Ibraniylarning lǝxkǝrgaⱨidin anglanƣan bu küqlük quⱪan nemǝ wǝjidin qiⱪⱪandu, dǝp eytixti. Arⱪidinla ular Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪining ularning lǝxkǝrgaⱨiƣa kǝltürülginini bilip yǝtti.
7 AmaFilisti asesesaba, ngoba athi: UNkulunkulu ufikile enkambeni. Athi-ke: Maye kithi! Ngoba kakuzanga kwenzeke okunje mandulo.
Xuning bilǝn Filistiylǝr ⱪorⱪup: — Ilaⱨlar ularning lǝxkǝrgaⱨiƣa kǝptu, ⱨalimizƣa way! Mundaⱪ ix bu waⱪitⱪiqǝ ⱨeq bolƣan ǝmǝs, deyixti.
8 Maye kithi! Ngubani ozasophula esandleni salaba onkulunkulu abalamandla? Laba ngonkulunkulu abatshaya amaGibhithe ngazo zonke inhlupheko enkangala.
Ⱨalimizƣa way! Bizni bu ⱪudrǝtlik ilaⱨlarning ⱪolidin kim ⱪutⱪuzidu? Mana bayawanda misirliⱪlarni türlük bala-wabalar bilǝn urƣan ilaⱨlar dǝl xulardur!
9 Qinani, libe ngamadoda, maFilisti, hlezi lisebenzele amaHebheru njengoba alisebenzela. Ngakho banini ngamadoda, lilwe.
I Filistiylǝr, ɵzliringlarni jǝsur kɵrsitip ǝrkǝktǝk turunglar. Bolmisa, ibraniylar bizgǝ ⱪul bolƣandǝk biz ularƣa ⱪul bolimiz; ǝrkǝktǝk bolup jǝng ⱪilinglar! — dedi.
10 Ngakho amaFilisti alwa, loIsrayeli watshaywa, babalekela, ngulowo lalowo ethenteni lakhe. Njalo kwaba lokubulawa okukhulu kakhulu, ngoba kwawa koIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu abahamba ngenyawo.
Xuning bilǝn Filistiylǝr Israillar bilǝn jǝng ⱪildi. Israil tarmar ⱪilinip, ⱨǝrbiri tǝrǝp-tǝrǝpkǝ ɵz qedirigǝ bǝdǝr ⱪaqti. Jǝngdǝ ⱪattiⱪ ⱪirƣinqiliⱪ bolup, Israildin ottuz ming piyadǝ ǝskǝr ɵltürüldi.
11 Umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu wasuthathwa, lamadodana womabili kaEli, uHofini loPhinehasi, abulawa.
Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi olja bolup kǝtti wǝ Əlining ikki oƣli Hofniy bilǝn Finiⱨasmu ɵltürüldi.
12 Kwasekugijima umuntu wakoBhenjamini evela emaviyweni, wafika eShilo ngalolosuku, lezigqoko zakhe zidatshuliwe elenhlabathi ekhanda lakhe.
Xu küni bir Binyaminliⱪ jǝng mǝydanidin ⱪeqip kiyim-keqǝkliri yirtiⱪ, üstibexi topa-qang ⱨalda Xiloⱨƣa yügürüp kǝldi.
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.
U yetip kǝlgǝndǝ, mana Əli yolning qetidǝ ɵz orunduⱪida olturup taⱪiti-taⱪ bolup kütüwatatti; uning kɵngli Pǝrwǝrdigarning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪining ƣemidǝ pǝrixan idi. U kixi hǝwǝrni yǝtküzgili xǝⱨǝrgǝ kirgǝndǝ, pütkül xǝⱨǝr pǝryad-quⱪan kɵtürdi.
14 Lapho uEli esizwa umsindo wokukhala wathi: Uyini umsindo wale inhlokomo? Lowomuntu wasephangisa weza wamtshela uEli.
Əli pǝryad sadasini anglap: — Bu zadi nemǝ warang-qurung? dǝp soridi. U kixi aldirap kelip ǝligǝ hǝwǝr bǝrdi
15 Njalo uEli wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye leyisificaminwembili, lamehlo akhe ema ukuthi ayengelakho ukubona.
(Əli toⱪsan sǝkkiz yaxⱪa kirgǝn, kɵzliri ⱪetip ⱪalƣan bolup, kɵrmǝytti).
16 Lowomuntu wasesithi kuEli: Nginguye ovela emaviyweni; ngibaleke emaviyweni lamuhla. Wasesithi: Kwenziweni, ndodana yami?
U kixi Əligǝ: — Mǝn jǝngdin ⱪaytip kǝlgǝn kiximǝn, bügün jǝng mǝydanidin ⱪeqip kǝldim, dedi. Əli: — I oƣlum, nemǝ ix yüz bǝrdi? — dǝp soridi.
17 Owaletha umbiko wasephendula wathi: UIsrayeli ubalekile phambi kwamaFilisti, futhi kube lokubulawa okukhulu ebantwini, njalo lamadodana akho womabili, uHofini loPhinehasi, afile, lomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe.
Hǝwǝrqi jawab berip: — Israil Filistiylǝrning aldidin bǝdǝr ⱪaqti. Hǝlⱪ arisida ⱪattiⱪ ⱪirƣinqiliⱪ boldi! Sening ikki oƣlung, Hofniy bilǝn Finiⱨasmu ɵldi ⱨǝmdǝ Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪimu olja bolup kǝtti, dedi.
18 Kwasekusithi esekhulume ngomtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, wawa nyovane esihlalweni eceleni kwesango, kwephuka intamo yakhe, wafa, ngoba lowomuntu wayemdala, enzima. Njalo wayahlulele uIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Wǝ xundaⱪ boldiki, hǝwǝrqi Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪini tilƣa alƣanda, Əli dǝrwazining yenidiki orunduⱪtin kǝynigǝ yiⱪilip qüxüp, boyni sunup ɵldi; qünki u ⱪerip, bǝdinimu eƣirlixip kǝtkǝnidi. U ⱪiriⱪ yil Israilning ⱨakimi bolƣanidi.
19 Lomalokazana wakhe, umkaPhinehasi, wayekhulelwe, esezabeletha; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe, lokuthi uyisezala lomkakhe bafile, wakhothama wabeletha, ngoba wafikelwa yimihelo.
Uning kelini, yǝni Finiⱨasning ayali ⱨamilidar bolup tuƣuxⱪa az ⱪalƣanidi. U Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪining olja bolup kǝtkǝnliki wǝ ⱪiyinatisi bilǝn eriningmu ɵlgǝnlik hǝwirini angliƣanda, birdinla ⱪattiⱪ tolƣaⱪ tutup, pükülüp balini tuƣdi.
20 Njalo phose ngesikhathi sokufa kwakhe abesifazana ababemi belaye bathi: Ungesabi, ngoba ubelethe indodana. Kodwa kaphendulanga njalo kazange akunanze.
U ɵlǝy dǝp ⱪalƣanda, qɵrisidǝ turƣan ayallar: — Ⱪorⱪmiƣin, sǝn oƣul bala tuƣdung, dedi. Lekin u buningƣa jawabmu bǝrmidi ⱨǝm kɵngül bɵlmidi.
21 Wambiza umfana ngokuthi nguIkabodi, esithi: Inkazimulo isukile koIsrayeli; ngoba umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe, langenxa kayisezala lomkakhe.
U: «Xan-xǝrǝp Israildin kǝtti» dǝp baliƣa «Ihabod» dǝp isim ⱪoydi; qünki Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi olja bolup kǝtkǝn ⱨǝm ⱪeyinatisi bilǝn erimu ɵlgǝnidi.
22 Wasesithi: Inkazimulo isukile koIsrayeli ngoba umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uthethwe.
U yǝnǝ: — Xan-xǝrǝp Israildin kǝtti; qünki Hudaning ǝⱨdǝ sanduⱪi olja bolup kǝtti! — dedi.
