1 Samuela 4
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae lea ʻa Samuela ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau nofoaki ʻo ofi ki Epenisa: pea naʻe nofoaki ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi ʻEfeki.
Mpe Samuele azalaki kokomisa maloba ya Yawe epai ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele. Na tango wana, bato ya Isalaele bakendeki kobundisa bato ya Filisitia. Bato ya Isalaele batongaki molako na bango na Ebeni-Ezeri, mpe bato ya Filisitia batongaki ya bango molako, na Afeki.
2 Pea naʻe hiki ʻae tau ʻae kau Filisitia ke tau ki ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he fakahoko ʻae tau, naʻe teʻia leva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia: pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻi he tau ʻi he ngoue ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fā afe nai.
Bato ya Filisitia batandamaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya Isalaele. Mpe wana bitumba ekomaki makasi, bato ya Filisitia balongaki bato ya Isalaele mpe babomaki na bitumba yango basoda ya Isalaele, pene nkoto minei.
3 Pea ʻi he hoko mai ʻae kakai ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā kuo teʻia ai ʻe Sihova kitautolu he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia? Ke tau ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova mei Sailo, koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hoko kiate kitautolu, ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili.”
Tango basoda ya Isalaele bazongaki na molako, bampaka ya Isalaele batunaki: — Mpo na nini Yawe asali ete bato ya Filisitia balonga biso na mokolo ya lelo? Tokende kozwa Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, na Silo, mpo ete eya kati na biso mpe ekangola biso na maboko ya banguna na biso.
4 Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe he kakai ki Sailo, koeʻuhi kenau ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo Selupi: pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua.
Boye batindaki bato na Silo. Mpe longwa kuna, bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo avandaka na kiti na Ye ya bokonzi kati na basheribe. Ofini mpe Fineasi, bana mibali mibale ya Eli, bazalaki wana elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe.
5 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe mavava ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he mavava lahi, ko ia naʻe ʻuʻulu ai ʻae fonua.
Tango kaka Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ekotaki na molako, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bagangaki na mongongo makasi, mpe mabele eninganaki.
6 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Filisitia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe mavava, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fuʻu mavava lahi ni ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Hepelū? Pea naʻa nau ʻilo kuo hoko ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga.
Bato ya Filisitia bayokaki koganga wana mpe batunaki: — Koganga nyonso wana elakisi nini kati na molako ya Ba-Ebre? Wana bayokaki sango ete Sanduku ya Yawe ekoti kati na molako,
7 Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Filisitia, he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua ki he ʻapitanga. Pea naʻa nau pehē, Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! He kuo ʻikai ha meʻa pehē talu mei muʻa.
bato ya Filisitia babangaki mpe balobaki: — Eh, tobebi na biso! Nzambe akoti na molako! Likambo ya boye nanu esalema te!
8 Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! Ko hai te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi ʻOtua māfimafi na? Ko e ngaahi ʻOtua eni naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mamahi lahi ʻi he toafa.
Mawa na biso! Nani akokangola biso na maboko ya Nzambe oyo ya nguya? Ezali Nzambe wana nde abomaki bato ya Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu ya ndenge na ndenge kati na esobe.
9 ʻAe kau Filisitia, mou mālohi, ʻo fai ʻo ngalingali tangata, telia naʻa mou hoko ko e kau hopoate ki he kakai Hepelū, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau hopoate kiate kimoutolu: fai ʻo ngali mo e kau tangata ʻo tau.”
Bandeko bato ya Filisitia, boyika mpiko! Bozala mibali, noki te bokokoma bawumbu ya Ba-Ebre ndenge bango bazalaki bawumbu na bino! Bozala mibali mpe bobunda!
10 Pea naʻe tau ʻae kau Filisitia, pea naʻe toe teʻia ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe mate ai ʻae tokolahi ʻaupito he naʻe tō ai ʻae toko tolu mano ʻoe kau tangata ʻIsileli naʻe ʻalu ʻi lalo.
Boye bato ya Filisitia babundisaki bato ya Isalaele mpe balongaki. Moto nyonso akimaki na ndako na ye ya kapo. Kokweyisama ya bato ya Isalaele ezalaki ya makasi penza: motango ya basoda ya Isalaele, oyo babundaka na makolo mpe bakufaki ezalaki nkoto tuku misato.
11 Pea naʻe moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai ko Hofini mo Finiasi.
Bato ya Filisitia babotolaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, mpe bana mibali mibale ya Eli, Ofini mpe Fineasi, bakufaki.
12 Pea naʻe lele ʻae tangata Penisimani mei he tau, ʻo hoko ki Sailo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, kuo mahaehae hono kofu, pea pani kelekele hono ʻulu.
Moto moko ya ekolo ya Benjame akimaki mbangu longwa na bisika oyo bazalaki kobunda mpe akomaki na Silo, na mokolo yango kaka; azalaki na bilamba epasuka, mpe na putulu, na moto na ye.
13 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai vakai naʻe nofo leʻo pe ʻa Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ʻi he veʻehala: he naʻe tetetete hono loto telia ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae tangata ki he kolo, ʻo fakahā ia, naʻe tangi kalanga ʻae kolo kotoa pē.
Akomaki na tango oyo Eli azalaki ya kovanda na kiti, pembeni ya nzela, mpe azalaki kotala na ekenge, pamba te motema na ye ezalaki na kimia te na tina na Sanduku ya Nzambe. Bongo tango moto yango akotaki na engumba mpe apesaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo ewutaki kosalema, engumba mobimba egangaki.
14 Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻe Ilai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe maveuveu ni?” Pea naʻe haʻu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae tangata ʻo tala kia Ilai.
Tango Eli ayokaki koganga yango, atunaki: — Makelele oyo elakisi nini? Mpe moto yango ayaki na lombangu kopesa sango epai ya Eli.
15 Pea naʻe hivangofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe valu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Ilai; pea kuo poʻuli hono mata, naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata.
Nzokande Eli azalaki na mibu tuku libwa na mwambe ya mbotama; miso na ye elembaki makasi, akokaki komona lisusu te.
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata kia Ilai, “Ko au ia kuo u haʻu mei he tau, pea u hola mei he tau he ʻaho ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku foha, Ko e hā kuo fai?”
Alobaki na Eli: — Nawuti na esika ya bitumba, nawuti kokima kuna kaka lelo. Eli atunaki ye: — Mwana na ngai, makambo nini eleki kuna?
17 Pea talaange ʻe he tangata fekau, “Kuo hola ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea kuo tō ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kakai, pea kuo mate ʻa ho ongo foha ko Hofini mo Finiasi, pea kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.”
Moto oyo amemaki sango azongisaki: — Bato ya Isalaele bakimi liboso ya bato ya Filisitia, mpe ebele kati na bango bakufi; ezala bana na yo mibale ya mibali, Ofini mpe Fineasi, bakufi. Bato ya Filisitia babotoli Sanduku ya Nzambe.
18 Pea ʻi heʻene lea ki he puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tō fakaholomui ia mei he nofoʻa ʻi he potu ʻoe matapā, pea mafesi ai hono kia, pea pekia ai: he ko e tangata motuʻa ia pea mamafa. Pea naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
Tango kaka moto wana atangaki kombo ya Sanduku ya Nzambe, Eli akweyaki makalikali longwa na kiti na ye, pembeni ya ekuke ya Ndako ya Yawe, kingo na ye ebukanaki, mpe akufaki, pamba te azalaki mobange mpe nzoto minene. Akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei.
19 Pea naʻe feitama hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ko e uaifi ʻo Finiasi, kuo kakato hono māhina ke fāʻele: pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ongoongo kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo pekia ʻa ʻene tamai ʻi he fono, mo hono husepāniti, naʻe punou hifo ʻe ia ia pea langā; he naʻe hoko leva ʻae langā kiate ia.
Bokilo na ye ya mwasi, mwasi ya Fineasi, azalaki na zemi mpe akomaki pembeni ya kobota. Tango kaka ayokaki sango ete babotoli Sanduku ya Nzambe, ete tata-bokilo na ye mpe mobali na ye bakufi, agunzamaki, abandaki mbala moko pasi ya kobota, mpe abotaki.
20 Pea feʻunga mo ʻene pekia, naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he kau fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate ia, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he kuo ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama. Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne lea, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ai.
Lokola akomaki pene ya kokufa, basi oyo bazingelaki ye balobaki na ye: — Kobanga te! Oboti mwana mobali! Kasi ye apesaki eyano moko te mpe atiaki makanisi na ye kuna te.
21 Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae tama ko Ikapote, ko e pehē, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi kuo pekia ʻene tamai ʻi he fono mo hono uaifi.
Apesaki mwana yango kombo « I-Kabodi » oyo elingi kolakisa: Nkembo elongwe na Isalaele! Atiaki makanisi na ye na Sanduku ya Nzambe, oyo babotoli, na tata-bokilo na ye mpe na mobali na ye, oyo bakufi.
22 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: he kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.
Alobaki: « Nkembo elongwe na Isalaele, pamba te babotoli Sanduku ya Nzambe. »
