1 USamuyeli 6
1 Lomtshokotsho weNkosi wawuselizweni lamaFilisti inyanga eziyisikhombisa.
Taabonni Waaqayyoos Filisxeem keessa jiʼa torba ture.
2 AmaFilisti asebiza abapristi labavumisi, esithi: Sizawenzelani umtshokotsho weNkosi? Saziseni ukuthi singawuthumeza lani endaweni yawo.
Filisxeemonnis lubootaa fi ilaaltota waamanii, “Taabota Waaqayyoo maal haa goonu? Iddoo isaatti haala akkamiitiin akka deebifnu nutti himaa” jedhaniin.
3 Basebesithi: Uba lingawuthumeza umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, lingawuthumezi uze, kodwa libuyisele lokubuyisela kuye umnikelo wecala. Khona-ke lizasiliswa, njalo kuzakwaziwa kini ukuthi kungani isandla sakhe singasuki kini.
Isaanis deebisanii, “Yoo taabota Waaqa Israaʼel deebiftan, kennaa yakkaa wajjin malee duwwaa isaa hin deebisinaa; ergasii isin ni fayyitu; harki isaas maaliif akka isin irraa hin kaafamin ni beektu” jedhaniin.
4 Basebesithi: Uzakuba yini umnikelo wecala esizawubuyisela kuye? Basebesithi: Amathumba ophayo egolide amahlanu lamagundwane amahlanu egolide, njengokwenani leziphathamandla zamaFilisti; ngoba bekulenhlupheko eyodwa kini lonke lakuziphathamandla zenu.
Filisxeemonnis, “Kennaan yakkaa kan nu erginuuf maal taʼuu qaba?” jedhanii gaafatan. Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Sababii dhaʼichi isinii fi bulchitoota keessan rukute tokkuma taʼeef akkuma baayʼina bulchitoota Filisxeemotaatti dhiitoo warqee shananii fi hantuuta warqee shan ergaa.
5 Ngakho lizakwenza imifanekiso yamathumba enu ophayo lemifanekiso yamagundwane enu alonayo ilizwe, limnike udumo uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; mhlawumbe angenza lula isandla sakhe sisuke phezu kwenu sisuke laphezu kwabonkulunkulu benu sisuke laphezu kwelizwe lenu.
Fakkii dhiitoo fi fakkii hantuutaa kanneen biyya balleessaa jiranii hojjedhaa; Waaqa Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina kennaa. Yoos inni harka isaa isin irraa, waaqota keessanii fi biyya keessan irraa ni kaasa taʼa.
6 Lenzelani-ke inhliziyo zenu zibe lukhuni njengamaGibhithe loFaro benza inhliziyo zabo zaba lukhuni? Emva kokuthi esenze kabuhlungu kubo kabavumelanga yini ukuthi bahambe, basebehamba?
Isin maaliif akka namoota Gibxiitii fi akka Faraʼoon mataa jabeeyyii taatu? Yeroo Waaqayyo adaba cimaadhaan isaan adabetti, isaan akka Israaʼeloonni gara barbaadan deemaniif hin eeyyamneefii?
7 Ngakho-ke thathani lilungise inqola entsha lamankomokazi amabili amunyisayo okungezanga jogwe phezu kwawo, liwabophele amankomokazi enqoleni, liwabuyisele ekhaya amankonyana awo asuke emva kwawo.
“Kanaafuu gaarii haaraa fi saawwan hoosisan kan waanjoon takkumaa irra hin kaaʼamin lama qopheessaa. Saawwan sanas gaarii sanatti camadaa; jabboota isaanii garuu gara manaatti biraa deebisaatii itti cufaa.
8 Lithathe umtshokotsho weNkosi, liwubeke enqoleni, lempahla zegolide elizibuyisela kuye zibe ngumnikelo wecala, lizifake ebhokisini eceleni kwawo; liyithumeze ihambe.
Taabota Waaqayyoo sanas fuudhaatii gaarii irra kaaʼaa; miʼa warqee aarsaa yakkaatiif ergitan sanas sanduuqa taabota Waaqayyoo bira jiru keessa kaaʼaa. Akka inni karaa barbaade deemuufis gad dhiisaa;
9 Libone aluba isenyuka ngendlela yomngcele wawo eya eBeti-Shemeshi, yiyo esenzele lobububi obukhulu; kodwa uba kungenjalo, sizakwazi ukuthi kakusiso isandla sayo esisitshayileyo, sehlelwe yingozi nje.
garuu ija isa irraa hin buqqifatinaa. Yoo inni gara biyya isaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeele rakkina guddaa kana Waaqayyotu nutti fide. Yoo gara sanatti qajeeluu baate garuu dhaʼichi kun akkuma tasaa nutti dhufe malee Waaqayyo nutti hin fidne.”
10 Abantu basebesenza njalo, bathatha amankomokazi amabili amunyisayo, bawabophela enqoleni, bawavalela amankonyana awo ekhaya.
Isaanis akkasuma godhan. Saawwan lamaan fuudhanii gaariitti camadan; jabboota isaanii manatti deebisanii itti cufan.
11 Bawubeka umtshokotsho weNkosi enqoleni lebhokisi elilamagundwane egolide lezithombe zamathumba abo ophayo.
Isaanis taabota Waaqayyoo sana gaariitti feʼan. Sanduuqa hantuuta warqeetii fi fakkii iitoo baatu sanas isa wajjin feʼan.
12 Amankomokazi aseqonda endleleni, ngendlela eya eBeti-Shemeshi, ahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu ehamba ebhonsa, engaphambukeli ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo, leziphathamandla zamaFilisti zawalandela kwaze kwaba semngceleni weBeti-Shemeshi.
Saawwan sunis karaa qabatanii utuu bitaa mirgatti hin gorin marʼachaa gara Beet Shemeshitti qajeelan. Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas hamma daarii Beet Shemeshitti isaan faana buʼan.
13 AbeBeti-Shemeshi babevuna isivuno sengqoloyi esigodini; lapho bephakamisa amehlo abo, bawubona umtshokotsho, bathokoza ukuwubona.
Yeroo sanattis namoonni Beet Shemeshi sulula keessaa qamadii haamaa turan; isaanis yommuu ol jedhanii taabota sana arganitti akka malee gammadan.
14 Inqola yasingena ensimini kaJoshuwa weBeti-Shemeshi, yema khona, lapho okwakulelitshe elikhulu khona; basebebanda izigodo zenqola, basebenikela amankomokazi aba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
Gaariin sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu nama Beet Shemeshi bira gaʼee kattaa guddaa tokko cina dhaabate. Namoonnis muka gaarii sanaa falaxanii saawwan sana aarsaa gubamu godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
15 AmaLevi asewethula umtshokotsho weNkosi lebhokisi elalilawo, okwakukulo impahla zegolide, akubeka phezu kwelitshe elikhulu. Labantu beBeti-Shemeshi banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa, bayihlabela iNkosi imihlatshelo ngalolosuku.
Warri Lewwotaas taabota Waaqayyoo sanduuqicha miʼa warqee baatu sana wajjin gad buusanii kattaa guddaa irra kaaʼan; gaafuma sanas namoonni Beet Shemeshi aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan.
16 Iziphathamandla ezinhlanu zamaFilisti sezikubonile, zabuyela eEkhironi ngalolosuku.
Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa shanan erga waan kana hunda arganii booddee gaafuma sana Eqroonitti deebiʼan.
17 Lala ngamathumba ophayo egolide amaFilisti awabuyisela abe ngumnikelo wecala eNkosini, eleAshidodi elilodwa, eleGaza elilodwa, eleAshikeloni elilodwa, eleGathi elilodwa, eleEkhironi elilodwa.
Iiti warqee kan Filisxeemonni aarsaa yakkaa godhanii Waaqayyoof ergan kanaa dha; isaanis tokko Ashdoodiif, tokko Gaazaaf, tokko Eqrooniif, tokko Gaatiif, tokko immoo Ashqalooniif ergan.
18 Lamagundwane egolide njengokwenani lemizi yonke yamaFilisti yeziphathamandla ezinhlanu, kusukela emizini ebiyelweyo kuze kube semizaneni yemaphandleni kuze kube selitsheni elikhulu likaAbeli, lapho ababeka khona umtshokotsho weNkosi, elisensimini kaJoshuwa umBeti-Shemeshi kuze kube lamuhla.
Baayʼinni hantuutota warqees akkuma baayʼina magaalaawwan Filisxeemotaa kanneen bulchitoota shananiif kennamaniitti ture. Magaalaawwan dallaa jajjaboo qaban kunneenis gandoota of jalaa qabu ture. Kattaan guddichi isaan taabota Waaqayyoo isa irra kaaʼan sunis lafa qotiisaa Iyyaasuu namicha Beet Shemeshi keessatti hamma harʼaatti dhugaa baatuu dha.
19 Yasitshaya amadoda eBeti-Shemeshi ngoba ayekhangele phakathi komtshokotsho weNkosi; yebo, yatshaya phakathi kwabantu amadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Abantu basebelila ngoba iNkosi yayitshaye ngokutshaya okukhulu phakathi kwabantu.
Waaqnis sababii isaan taabota Waaqayyoo keessa ilaalaniif namoota Beet Shemeshi dhaʼee isaan keessaa nama torbaatama ajjeese. Sababii Waaqayyo akka malee isaan dhaʼeef namoonni sun ni booʼan;
20 Ngakho abantu beBeti-Shemeshi bathi: Ngubani olakho ukuma phambi kweNkosi, lo uNkulunkulu ongcwele? Uzakwenyukela kubani esuka kithi?
namoonni Beet Shemeshis, “Eenyutu fuula Waaqayyoo, fuula Waaqa qulqulluu kanaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Taabonni kun asii baʼee eenyu bira haa dhaqu?” jedhanii gaafatan.
21 Basebethuma izithunywa kubahlali beKiriyathi-Jeyarimi besithi: AmaFilisti asewubuyisile umtshokotsho weNkosi; yehlani liwenyusele kini.
Ergasii gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti ergamoota erganii, “Filisxeemonni taabota Waaqayyoo deebisaniiru; gad kottaatii taabota sana gara keessanitti fudhadhaa” jedhaniin.
