1 USamuyeli 7
1 Njalo abantu beKiriyathi-Jeyarimi beza, benyusa umtshokotsho weNkosi, bawungenisa endlini kaAbinadaba phezu kwaloloqaqa, bangcwelisa uEleyazare indodana yakhe ukuthi agcine umtshokotsho weNkosi.
Ke ma inge, mwet Kiriath Jearim elos tuku ac eis Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac usla nu in lohm sel Abinadab, su muta fineol uh. Ac elos aknasnasyal Eleazar, wen natul, tuh elan liyaung Tuptup sac.
2 Kwasekusithi kusukela ngosuku umtshokotsho uhlala eKiriyathi-Jeyarimi, insuku zanda; ngoba kwaba yiminyaka engamatshumi amabili; lendlu yonke yakoIsrayeli yakhala ilandela iNkosi.
Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan in acn Kiriath Jearim in pacl na loes se, akuran yac longoul. In pacl se inge mwet Israel nukewa elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos.
3 USamuweli wasekhuluma endlini yonke kaIsrayeli esithi: Uba libuyela eNkosini ngenhliziyo yenu yonke, susani onkulunkulu bezizweni phakathi kwenu laboAshitarothi, liqondise inhliziyo yenu eNkosini, likhonze yona yodwa, ngakho izalophula esandleni samaFilisti.
Na Samuel el kaskas nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Fin pwaye lah kowos ac fah foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD ke insiowos kewa, na kowos in sisla god saya nukewa ac ma sruloala kacl god mutan Astarte. Kowos in eiskowosyang nu sin LEUM GOD ke inse pwaye, ac alu nu sel mukena, na el ac fah molikowosla liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
4 Ngakho abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesusa oBhali laboAshitarothi, bakhonza iNkosi yodwa.
Ke ma inge, mwet Israel elos sisla ma sruloala kacl Baal ac Astarte, ac elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD mukena.
5 USamuweli wasesithi: Buthanisani uIsrayeli wonke eMizipa; njalo ngizalikhulekela eNkosini.
Na Samuel el sap mwet Israel nukewa in fahsreni nu in acn Mizpah, ac el fahk, “Nga ac fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD keiwos we.”
6 Basebebuthana eMizipa, bakha amanzi, bawathela phambi kweNkosi, bazila ukudla mhlalokho, bathi lapho: Sonile eNkosini. USamuweli wasesahlulela abantwana bakoIsrayeli eMizipa.
Na mwet nukewa elos tukeni nu Mizpah. Elos ut kof ac okoala tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos lalo len sac nufon. Ac elos fahk, “Kut orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.” (Acn Mizpah pa acn se ma Samuel el muta we ke el aksuwosye fohs inmasrlon mwet Israel.)
7 Kwathi amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi abantwana bakoIsrayeli babuthene eMizipa, iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zenyuka zamelana loIsrayeli. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli sebekuzwile bawesaba amaFilisti.
Ke mwet Philistia elos lohng lah mwet Israel elos tukeni nu Mizpah, na tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos mukuiyak wi mwet lalos in tuh mweun lain mwet Israel. Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma inge, elos arulana sangeng,
8 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kuSamuweli: Ungathuli ukusikhalela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu ukuze asisindise esandleni samaFilisti.
ac fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nikmet tui in pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr tuh Elan molikutla liki inpoun mwet Philistia.”
9 USamuweli wasethatha iwundlu elimunyayo, walinikela lonke eNkosini laba ngumnikelo otshiswayo. USamuweli wakhalela uIsrayeli eNkosini, iNkosi yasimphendula.
Samuel el eis soko sheep fusr ac kisakin tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD. Ac Samuel el pre nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasru mwet Israel. Ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal.
10 Kwathi uSamuweli esanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, amaFilisti asondela empini loIsrayeli; kodwa iNkosi yaduma ngelizwi elikhulu phezu kwamaFilisti ngalolosuku, yawachithachitha, asetshaywa phambi kukaIsrayeli.
Ke Samuel el srakna oru kisa lal, mwet Philistia elos fahsryang in lainulos. Tusruktu, in pacl sacna LEUM GOD El oru pulahl lulap inkusrao me in lain mwet Philistia, ac elos arulana fohsak kac ac kaing.
11 Amadoda akoIsrayeli asephuma eMizipa axotshana lamaFilisti, awatshaya, kwaze kwaba ngaphansi kweBetikari.
Mwet Israel elos illa liki Mizpah ac ukwe mwet Philistia inge. Elos onelosla inkanek lalos nwe ke elos apkuran nu Bethcar.
12 USamuweli wasethatha ilitshe, walimisa phakathi kweMizipa leSheni, wabiza ibizo lalo iEbeni-Ezeri, wathi: Kuze kube khathesi iNkosi isisizile.
Na Samuel el eis sie eot, ac oakiya inmasrlon acn Mizpah ac Shen, ac el fahk, “LEUM GOD El kasrekut ke ma nukewa nwe ke len se inge.” Ac el sang inen eot sac “Ebenezer.”
13 Ngakho amaFilisti ehliselwa phansi, kawabe esaphinda ukungena emngceleni wakoIsrayeli. Njalo isandla seNkosi samelana lamaFilisti zonke izinsuku zikaSamuweli.
Ouinge, mwet Philistia kutangyukla, ac poun LEUM GOD lainulos ac elos koflana sifil utyak nu in facl sin mwet Israel ke lusenna moul lal Samuel.
14 Imizi amaFilisti ayeyithethe-ke koIsrayeli yabuyiselwa kuIsrayeli kusukela eEkhironi kuze kufike eGathi; lomngcele wayo uIsrayeli wawukhulula esandleni samaFilisti. Njalo kwaba lokuthula phakathi kukaIsrayeli lamaAmori.
Siti nukewa ma mwet Philistia elos tuh sruokya inmasrlon acn Ekron ac Gath, elos folokonang nu sin mwet Israel. Ke ma inge acn nukewa lun mwet Israel folokyang nu selos. Oasr pac misla inmasrlon mwet Israel ac mwet Canaan.
15 USamuweli wasesahlulela uIsrayeli insuku zonke zempilo yakhe.
Samuel el kol mwet Israel in moul lal nufon.
16 Wahamba iminyaka ngeminyaka wabhoda eBhetheli, leGiligali, leMizipa; wahlulela uIsrayeli kuzo zonke lezozindawo.
Ke yac nukewa el ac fahsr rauni acn Bethel, Gilgal, ac Mizpah, ac aksuwosye fohs inmasrlon mwet uh.
17 Lokubuyela kwakhe kwakuyikuya eRama, ngoba indlu yakhe yayilapho; wahlulela uIsrayeli khona, wayakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.
Na el ac folokla nu Ramah, acn sel, ac sifilpa oru nununku lal we. Ac el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Ramah.
