1 Saamuʼeel 7

1 Kanaafuu namoonni Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim dhufanii taabota Waaqayyoo fudhatanii ol baʼan. Isaanis gara mana Abiinaadaab kan gaara irra jiruutti geessan; akka inni taabota Waaqayyoo eeguufis ilma isaa Eleʼaazaarin qulqulleessan.

And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

2 Taabonni sun erga gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim geeffamee yeroo dheeraa dha; walumaa galatti waggaa digdama taaʼe. Sabni Israaʼel hundinuus booʼichaan Waaqayyotti deebiʼe.

And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel yearned after the LORD.

3 Saamuʼeelis guutummaa mana Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Yoo isin garaa keessan guutuudhaan Waaqayyotti deebitanii, waaqota ormaatii fi Ashtooretin waaqeffachuu dhiisuudhaan Waaqayyotti of kennitanii isa qofaaf tajaajiltan, inni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa isin ni baasa.”

And Samuel spoke unto all the house of Israel, saying: 'If ye do return unto the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'

4 Kanaaf Israaʼeloonni Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin calaasanii Waaqayyoon qofa tajaajilan.

Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5 Kana irrattis Saamuʼeel, “Isin Israaʼeloota hundumaa Miisphaatti walitti qabaa; anis Waaqayyoon isiniif nan kadhadhaa” jedhe.

And Samuel said: 'Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.'

6 Isaanis yommuu Miisphaatti walitti qabamanitti bishaan waraabanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaasan. Gaafas soomanii, “Nu Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjenneerra” jedhan. Saamuʼeelis Miisphaatti saba Israaʼel irratti murtii kenna ture.

And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there: 'We have sinned against the LORD.' And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

7 Yommuu Filisxeemonni akka Israaʼel Miisphaatti walitti qabame dhagaʼanitti bulchitoonni Filisxeem isaan waraanuudhaaf ol baʼan. Ijoolleen Israaʼelis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti Filisxeemota ni sodaatan.

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8 Isaanis Saamuʼeeliin, “Akka inni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa nu baasuuf gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatti nuu iyyuu hin dhiisin” jedhan.

And the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'

9 Saamuʼeelis ilmoo hoolaa kan hodhu tokko fuudhee jiraa isaa aarsaa gubamu godhee Waaqayyoof dhiʼeesse. Qooda Israaʼelis gara Waaqayyootti iyye; Waaqayyos deebii kenneef.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto the LORD; and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him.

10 Utuu Saamuʼeel aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaa jiruu Filisxeemonni Israaʼelin loluuf dhiʼaatan. Gaafas garuu Waaqayyo sagalee qaqawwee guddaa isaa isaan irratti qaqawweessaʼee waan isaan joonjesseef Filisxeemonni fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti ni moʼataman.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.

11 Israaʼeloonnis Miisphaadhaa baʼanii Filisxeemota karaa irratti gorraʼaa hamma Beet Kaari jalaatti isaan ariʼan.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.

12 Ergasii Saamuʼeel dhagaa tokko fuudhee Miisphaa fi Sheen gidduu dhaabe. Maqaa isaas, “Waaqayyo hamma harʼaatti nu gargaareera” jedhee, “Ebeenezer” jedhee moggaase.

Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying: 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.'

13 Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni waan moʼatamaniif lammata deebiʼanii biyya Israaʼelootaa hin weerarre. Bara jireenya Saamuʼeel guutuu harki Waaqayyoo Filisxeemota irratti ni jabaate.

So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel; and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 Magaalaawwan Filisxeemonni Israaʼel irraa fudhatanii turan kanneen Eqroonii jalqabanii hamma Gaatitti jiran hundinuu Israaʼelootaaf ni deebiʼan. Israaʼelis daangaa ishee Filisxeemota harkaa baafate. Israaʼelii fi Amoorota gidduuttis nageenyi buʼee ture.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 Saamuʼeelis bara jireenya isaa guutuu abbaa murtii saba Israaʼel ture.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Innis wagguma waggaan Beetʼeel, Gilgaalii fi Miisphaa keessa naannaʼee iddoo hundatti abbaa murtii saba Israaʼel ture.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.

17 Ergasiis gara Raamaa iddoo jireenya isaatti deebiʼee achittis saba Israaʼel irratti murtii kenna ture. Achittis Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaare.

And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and he built there an altar unto the LORD.
