< Samuu'Eel Kowaad 4 >
1 Oo hadalkii Samuu'eelna wuxuu soo gaadhay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay u soo baxeen inay reer Falastiin la diriraan, oo waxay soo ag degeen Ebenceser; reer Falastiinna waxay soo degeen Afeeq.
Ilizwi likaSamuyeli lafika ku-Israyeli wonke. Ngalesosikhathi abako-Israyeli baphuma ukuyakulwa lamaFilistiya. Abako-Israyeli bamisa e-Ebhenezeri, amaFilistiya e-Afekhi.
2 Oo reer Falastiinna waxay weerar isugu soo diyaariyeen reer binu Israa'iil; oo markii ay dagaalkii isugu yimaadeenna reer binu Israa'iil waa la jebiyey reer Falastiin hortooda; oo waxay ciidankii berrinka joogay ka laayeen afar kun oo nin.
AmaFilistiya ahlela amabutho awo ukuba ayohlangana labako-Israyeli, kwathi ekumemethekeni kwempi, u-Israyeli wehlulwa ngamaFilistiya, abulala abaphosa babe zinkulungwane ezine enkundleni yokulwela.
3 Oo markay dadkii xeradii yimaadeen ayay odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil yidhaahdeen, Maanta maxaa Rabbigu inoogu laayay reer Falastiin hortooda? Haddaba sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga aynu Shiiloh ka soo qaadanno oo dhexdeenna ha yimaado, inuu inaga badbaadiyo gacanta cadaawayaasheenna.
Kwathi esebuyele ezihonqweni, abadala bako-Israyeli bathi, “Kungani uThixo esilethele ukwehlulwa lamhla phambi kwamaFilistiya na? Kasiyenithatha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sika Thixo eShilo, ukuze lihambe lathi lisisindise esandleni sezitha zethu.”
4 Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii waxay u cid direen Shiiloh, oo waxay halkaas ka keeneen sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga Ciidammada oo ku fadhiya Keruubiimta dushooda, oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas iyana halkaasay la joogeen sanduuqa axdiga Ilaah.
Ngakho abantu bathuma amadoda eShilo, abuya lebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo uSomandla, ehlezi ebukhosini phakathi kwamakherubhi. Lamadodana ka-Eli amabili, uHofini loFinehasi, ayekhona lebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
5 Oo markii sanduuqii axdiga Rabbigu soo galay xeradii ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku qayliyeen qaylo weyn ee dhulku la gariiray.
Kwathi lapho ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lifika ezihonqweni, wonke u-Israyeli wenza umsindo omkhulu iphansi laze lanyikinyeka.
6 Oo reer Falastiinna markay maqleen dhawaaqii qaylada ayay yidhaahdeen, Dhawaaqa qaylada weyn ee xeradii Cibraaniyadii ka baxaya micnihiisu waa maxay? Markaasay garteen inuu sanduuqii Rabbigu xeradii dhex yimid.
Esizwa ukuxokozela amaFilistiya abuza athi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo ezihonqweni zamaHebheru na?” Kwathi esezwile ukuthi ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo laselikhona ezihonqweni,
7 Oo reer Falastiinna way cabsadeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaah baa xeradii soo galay. Oo haddana waxay yidhaahdeen, Hoog baa inagu dhacay! Waayo, hadda ka hor waxan oo kale lama arag.
amaFilistiya esaba. Athi, “Unkulunkulu usefikile ezihonqweni. Siphakathi kohlupho. Akulanto enje eseyake yenzakala ngaphambili.
8 Hoog baa inagu dhacaye! Bal yaa inaga samatabbixin doona ilaahyadan xoogga weyn gacantooda? Kuwanu waa ilaahyadii Masriyiinta ku laayay cidlada ee ku soo daayay belaayooyin cayn kasta ah.
Maye kithi! Ngubani ozasikhulula esandleni sabonkulunkulu laba abalamandla abatshaya amaGibhithe ngenhlobo zonke zezifo enkangala?
9 Reer Falastiinow, xoog yeesha, oo raganimo isgeliya, yeydnan Cibraaniyada addoommo u noqone, sidii ay idiinku ahaayeen oo kale. Haddaba raganimo isgeliya oo dirira.
Qinani, maFilistiya! Wobani ngamadoda hlezi libe yizichaka zamaHebheru, njengalokhu ababeyikho kini. Wobani ngamadoda, lilwe!”
10 Markaasay reer Falastiin dirireen, reer binu Israa'iilna waa la jebiyey, oo midkood waliba wuxuu ku cararay teendhadiisii. Oo maalintaas waxaa la laayay dad aad u badan; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxaa ka le'day soddon kun oo nin oo lug ah.
Ngakho amaFilistiya alwa, abako-Israyeli behlulwa njalo amadoda wonke abalekela emathenteni awo. Ababulawayo babebanengi kakhulu; u-Israyeli walahlekelwa ngamabutho ezinyawo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
11 Oo sanduuqii Ilaahna waa la qaatay; oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaasna waa la dilay.
Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lathunjwa, lamadodana amabili ka-Eli, Hofini loFinehasi, afa.
12 Oo ciidankii waxaa ka orday nin reer Benyaamiin ah, oo isla maalintiiba wuxuu yimid Shiiloh isagoo dharkiisu jeexjeexan yahay, oo madaxana ciid ku leh.
Ngalelolanga umuntu wakoBhenjamini wagijima esuka empini waya eShilo, izigqoko zakhe zazidabukile elothuli ekhanda.
13 Oo markuu yimid, bal eeg, Ceelii wuxuu ku fadhiyey kursigiisii waddada dhankeeda yiil, isagoo wax fiirinaya; waayo, qalbigiisu wuxuu u dhibbanaa sanduuqii Ilaah aawadiis. Oo markii ninkii soo galay magaaladii, oo uu u warramay, ayaa magaaladii oo dhammu qaylisay.
Ekufikeni kwakhe, kwakulo-Eli ehlezi esihlalweni eceleni komgwaqo, elindile, ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayisesabela ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu. Kwathi umuntu lowo esengenile emzini wabika okwasekwenzakele, umuzi wonke waqhinqa isililo.
14 Oo Ceeliina markuu maqlay dhawaaqii qaylada ayuu yidhi, Buuqan sawaxankiisu waa maxay micnihiisu? Markaasaa ninkii intuu soo dhaqsaday ayuu Ceelii u yimid oo u warramay.
U-Eli wezwa umsindo wokukhala wabuza wathi, “Ukuxokozela lokhu kutshoni na?” Umuntu lowo watshitshela ku-Eli,
15 Ceeliina wuxuu jiray siddeed iyo sagaashan sannadood, oo indhihiisuna dem bay ahaayeen oo waxba ma uu arki karin.
owayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye munye lasificaminwembili mibili ubudala, njalo amehlo akhe ayesefiphele, engasaboni.
16 Oo ninkii wuxuu Ceelii ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay kii ciidankii ka soo baxay, oo maantaan ciidankii ka soo cararay. Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, sidee bay xaaladdu u dhacday?
Watshela u-Eli wathi, “Ngisanda kufika ngivela empini; ngibalekile kuyo ngalonaleli ilanga.” U-Eli wabuza wathi, “Kutheni ndodana yami?”
17 Oo kii warka keenay waa jawaabay oo yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil way ka carareen reer Falastiin, oo dad badan baa la laayay, oo labadaadii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas iyana way dhinteen, oo sanduuqii Ilaahna waa la qaatay.
Umuntu owaletha umbiko waphendula wathi, “U-Israyeli ubalekile phambi kwamaFilistiya njalo ibutho lilahlekelwe kakhulu. Njalo lamadodana akho amabili, uHofini loFinehasi, afile njalo lebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lithunjiwe.”
18 Oo markuu sanduuqii Ilaah wax uga sheegay, ayuu Ceelii dib uga dhacay kursigiisii iridda ag yiil, markaasuu qoorta ka jabay oo dhintay, waayo, wuxuu ahaa nin da' weyn oo culus. Oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil xukumi jiray afartan sannadood.
Kwathi esethinte ngebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, u-Eli wawa ngesiphundu esihlalweni sakhe eceleni kwesango. Intamo yakhe yephuka, wafa, ngoba wayesengumuntu omdala njalo emkhulu. Wayekhokhele u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
19 Oo gabadhii uu soddogga u ahaa ee Fiinexaas qabay, uur bay lahayd oo fool bay ku dhowayd; oo markay maqashay warkii ahaa in sanduuqii Ilaah la qaatay, oo ay soddoggeed iyo ninkeediiba dhinteen ayay foororsatay oo umushay; waayo, haddiiba fool baa qabatay.
Umalukazana wakhe, umkaFinehasi, wayekhulelwe njalo esezabeletha. Kwathi esizwa izindaba zokuthi ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lalithunjiwe lokuthi uyisezala lomkakhe basebefile, wahelelwa wabeletha, kodwa wakhulelwa yibuhlungu bomhelo wakhe.
20 Oo markay sakaraadaysay ayay naagihii agteeda taagnaa ku yidhaahdeen, Ha baqin, waayo, waxaad dhashay wiil. Laakiinse uma ay jawaabin, oo danna kama gelin.
Esesifa, abesifazane ababembelethisa bathi kuye, “Ungalahli ithemba; uzele indodana.” Kodwa yena kaphendulanga loba anake.
21 Oo iyana waxay wiilkii u bixisay Iikabood, oo tidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil ammaantii way ka tagtay; maxaa yeelay, sanduuqii Ilaah waa la qaatay, oo weliba soddoggeed iyo ninkeediiba way dhinteen.
Wametha ibizo umfana wathi ngu-Ikhabhodi, esithi, “Udumo lusukile ko-Israyeli” ngenxa yokuthunjwa kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lokufa kukayisezala kanye lomkakhe.
22 Oo waxay tidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil ammaantii way ka tagtay; maxaa yeelay, sanduuqii Ilaah waa la qaatay.
Wathi, “Udumo lusukile ko-Israyeli, ngoba ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lithunjiwe.”
