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.
Then came the men of Kiriath-jearim and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab, in the hill, —and, Eleazar his son, hallowed they, to guard the ark of Yahweh.
2 Taabonni sun erga gara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim geeffamee yeroo dheeraa dha; walumaa galatti waggaa digdama taaʼe. Sabni Israaʼel hundinuus booʼichaan Waaqayyotti deebiʼe.
And so it was, that, from the day the ark came to dwell in Kiriath-jearim, the days multiplied, and became twenty years, —and all the house of Israel went mourning after Yahweh.
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 spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If, with all your heart, ye are returning unto Yahweh, then put away the gods of the foreigner out of your midst, and the Ashtoreths—and firmly set your heart towards Yahweh, and serve him, alone, that he may deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Kanaaf Israaʼeloonni Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin calaasanii Waaqayyoon qofa tajaajilan.
So the sons of Israel put away the Baals, and the Ashtoreths, —and served Yahweh, alone.
5 Kana irrattis Saamuʼeel, “Isin Israaʼeloota hundumaa Miisphaatti walitti qabaa; anis Waaqayyoon isiniif nan kadhadhaa” jedhe.
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel unto Mizpah, —that I may pray for you, unto Yahweh.
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.
So they gathered themselves unto Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said, there, We have sinned against Yahweh. And Samuel judged the sons 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 sons of Israel had gathered themselves together unto Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel, —and, when the sons of Israel heard it, they shrank with fear, from the face of the Philistines.
8 Isaanis Saamuʼeeliin, “Akka inni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa nu baasuuf gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatti nuu iyyuu hin dhiisin” jedhan.
And the sons of Israel said unto Samuel, Do not turn in silence from us, from making outcry unto Yahweh our God, —that he would 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.
So Samuel took one sucking lamb, and offered it up, as an entire ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, —and Samuel made outcry unto Yahweh, for Israel, and Yahweh 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, when Samuel was offering up the ascending-sacrifice, the Philistines, drew near to fight against Israel, —but Yahweh thundered with a great noise throughout that day, over the Philistines, and confused them, and they were smitten before Israel.
11 Israaʼeloonnis Miisphaadhaa baʼanii Filisxeemota karaa irratti gorraʼaa hamma Beet Kaari jalaatti isaan ariʼan.
And the men of Israel went forth out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, —and smote them as far as 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.
And Samuel took a certain stone, and set it between Mizpah and Yeshanah, and called the name thereof Eben-ezer, —and said, Hitherto, hath Yahweh 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, no more, came within the boundary of Israel, —and the hand of Yahweh 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 as far as Gath; even the boundaries thereof, did Israel rescue out of the hand of the Philistines, —thus came there to be 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 used to take his journey, from year to year, and go round to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, —and used to judge Israel, at all these places.
17 Ergasiis gara Raamaa iddoo jireenya isaatti deebiʼee achittis saba Israaʼel irratti murtii kenna ture. Achittis Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaare.
And, his returning, was to Ramah, for, there, was his house, and, there, judged he Israel, —so he built there an altar unto Yahweh.
