1 Saamuʼeel 4
1 Dubbiin Saamuʼeel Israaʼel hunda bira gaʼe. Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemota waraanuudhaaf baʼan. Israaʼeloonnis Ebeenezer bira, Filisxeemonni immoo Afeeq keessa qubatan.
Ndipo mawu a Samueli anafika kwa Aisraeli onse. Aisraeli anapita kukamenya nkhondo ndi Afilisti. Aisraeli anamanga misasa yawo ku Ebenezeri, ndipo Afilisti anamanga ku Afeki.
2 Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf loltoota isaanii hiriirsan; akkuma waraanni hoʼeenis Israaʼeloonni Filisxeemotaan moʼatamanii namoonni kumni afur dirree waraanaa irratti ajjeefaman.
Afilisti anandanda kuyangʼana Aisraeli nayamba kumenyana. Nkhondo inakula ndipo Afilisti anagonjetsa Aisraeli napha anthu 4,000 pa malo a nkhondopo.
3 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.
Asilikali atabwerera ku misasa, akuluakulu a Israeli anafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova walola kuti tigonjetsedwe lero pamaso pa Afilisti? Tiyeni tikatenge Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova ku Silo kuti Yehovayo abwere kukhala pakati pathu ndi kutipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani athu.”
4 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.
Choncho anatuma anthu ku Silo ndipo anakatenga Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova Wamphamvuzonse amene amakhala pa akerubi. Ndipo ana awiri a Eli, Hofini ndi Finehasi anatsagana nalo Bokosi la Chipangano cha Mulungu.
5 Yommuu taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo gara qubataatti galetti Israaʼeloonni hundinuu iyya gammachuu guddaa isaa iyyanii lafa sochoosan.
Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova litafika ku msasa, Aisraeli onse anafuwula kwambiri mpaka nthaka inagwedezeka.
6 Filisxeemonnis yommuu iyya guddaa sana dhagaʼanitti, “Iyyi guddaan qubata Ibrootaa keessaa dhagaʼamu kun maali?” jedhanii gaafatan. Yommuu akka taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo achi gale hubatanittis,
Atamva kufuwulaku, Afilisti anafunsa, “Kodi kufuwula kwakukulu kumeneku ku misasa ya Ahebri ndi kwachiyani?” Atamva kuti Bokosi la Yehova lafika ku msasako,
7 Filisxeemonni sodaatanii akkana jedhan; “Waaqni tokko gara qubata Ibrootaa dhufeera; nuuf wayyoo! Wanni akkasii taʼee hin beeku.
Afilisti anachita mantha pakuti iwo ankanena kuti, “Milungu yafika ku msasa. Iwo anati, ‘Tili pamavuto. Chinthu choterechi sichinachitikepo nʼkale lomwe.
8 Nuuf wayyoo! Eenyutu waaqota jajjaboo kanneen harkaa nu baasa? Isaan waaqota gammoojjii keessatti dhaʼicha garaa garaatiin warra Gibxi dhaʼanii dha.
Atsoka ife! Adzatipulumutsa ndani mʼmanja mwa milungu yamphamvuyi? Iyi ndi milungu imene inakantha Aigupto ndi miliri yosiyanasiyana mʼchipululu.
9 Yaa Filisxeemotaa jabaadhaa! Dhiirummaa keessanis argisiisaa. Yoo kanaa achii akkuma isin jara garboomfattan sana Ibroonni garba isin godhatu. Dhiirummaa keessan argisiisaatii lolaa!”
Limbani mtima Afilisti! Chitani chamuna, kuti mungakhale akapolo a Ahebri monga iwowa alili akapolo anu. Chitani chamuna ndipo menyani nkhondo!’”
10 Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni ni lolan; Israaʼeloonnis moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara dunkaana ofii isaatti baqate. Nama baayʼeetu dhume; Israaʼelis loltoota lafoo kuma soddoma dhabde.
Choncho Afilisti anamenya nkhondo, ndipo anagonjetsa Aisraeli. Iwo anathawa aliyense kwawo. Ankhondo a Aisraeli oyenda pansi okwanira 30,000 anaphedwa.
11 Taabonni Waaqaa ni boojiʼame; ilmaan Eelii lamaanuu Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas ni duʼan.
Ndipo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova linalandidwa, ndiponso ana awiri Eli, Hofini ndi Finehasi anaphedwa.
12 Gaafuma sana namichi Beniyaam tokko wayyaa isaa tarsaasee, mataa isaatti daaraa firfirsee fiigaa gara Shiiloo dhaqe.
Tsiku lomwelo munthu wina wa fuko la Benjamini anathawa ku nkhondo ndipo anafika ku Silo. Iyeyu zovala zake zinali zongʼamba ndipo anadzithira dothi kumutu kuonetsa chisoni.
13 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.
Atafika, anapeza Eli atakhala pa mpando wake mʼmbali mwa msewu, akungoyangʼana, pakuti ankadera nkhawa Bokosi la Mulungu. Munthuyo atalowa mu mzindamo ndi kufotokoza zimene zinachitika ku nkhondo, anthu onse a mu mzindamo anayamba kulira.
14 Eeliinis yommuu iyya sana dhagaʼetti, “Kun iyya maaliitii?” jedhee gaafate. Namichi sunis dafee dhufee Eeliitti hime;
Eli atamva kulirako anafunsa kuti, “Kodi phokosoli likutanthauza chiyani?” Tsono munthu wa fuko la Benjamini uja anapita msanga kwa Eli kukamufotokozera.
15 yeroo kana Eeliin nama waggaa sagaltamii saddeet waan tureef iji isaa arguu dadhabee ture.
Nthawiyo nʼkuti Eli ali wa zaka 98 ndipo maso ake anali atachita khungu kotero kuti samatha kuona.
16 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.
Munthuyo anamuwuza Eli kuti, “Ine ndabwera kuchokera ku nkhondo, ndathawako lero lomwe lino.” Eli anafunsa, “Nanga nkhondo yayenda bwanji mwana wanga?”
17 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.
Iye anayankha kuti, “Aisraeli athawa pamaso pa Afilisti. Anthu ambirimbiri aphedwa. Ana anunso Hofini ndi Finehasi aphedwa. Bokosi la Mulungu nalonso lalandidwa.”
18 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.
Atangotchula Bokosi la Yehova, Eli anagwa chagada, kuchoka pa mpando wake umene unali mʼmbali mwa chitseko cha mpanda. Khosi lake linathyoka ndipo anafa, pakuti anali okalamba ndi onenepa kwambiri. Iye anatsogolera Israeli zaka makumi anayi.
19 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.
Nthawiyo, mpongozi wa Eli, mkazi wa Finehasi anali woyembekezera ndipo anali pafupi kuchira. Atamva kuti Bokosi la Mulungu lalandidwa ndi kuti mpongozi wake Eli ndi mwamuna wake amwalira, ululu wa pobereka mwana unamufikira modzidzimutsa ndipo anabereka mwana.
20 Yeroo isheen duʼuu geessettis dubartoonni ishee gargaaraa turan, “Dhiira deesseertaa jabaadhu” jedhaniin. Isheen garuu homaa hin deebifne yookaan yaadatti hin qabanne.
Popeza mkaziyo anali pafupi kumwalira, akazi amene amamuthandiza anati, “Usaope, wabereka mwana wamwamuna” Koma iye sanayankhe kapena kulabadirako.
21 Sababii taabonni Waaqaa boojiʼamee fi sababii abbaan dhirsa isheetii fi dhirsi ishee duʼaniif, “Ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jechuudhaan maqaa mucaa ishee Iikaabood jettee moggaafte.
Tsono iye anatcha mwanayo dzina loti Ikabodi kutanthauza kuti, “Ulemerero wachoka mu Israeli,” chifukwa cha kulandidwa Bokosi la Mulungu ndi imfa ya mpongozi wake Eli ndi mwamuna wake.
22 Isheenis, “Taabonni Waaqaa waan boojiʼameef ulfinni Israaʼel irraa fagaateera” jette.
Ananena momwemo kuti, “Ulemerero wachoka mu Israeli, pakuti Bokosi la Mulungu lalandidwa.”
