1 Samuel 7

1 Enti Kiriat-Yearimfo begyee Awurade Apam Adaka no. Wɔde kɔɔ Abinadab fi a ɛda bepɔw nkyɛn baabi. Ɛhɔ na wodwiraa ne babarima Eleasar sɛ ɔnhwɛ so.

Therfor men of Cariathiarym camen, and ledden ayen the arke of the Lord, and brouyten it in to the hows of Amynadab in Gabaa. Sotheli thei halewiden Eleazar his sone, that he schulde kepe the ark of the Lord.

2 Apam Adaka no kyɛe yiye wɔ Kiriat-Yearim. Edii mfirihyia aduonu wɔ hɔ. Saa bere no Israel nyinaa twaa agyaadwo, efisɛ na ayɛ sɛ Awurade agyaw wɔn.

And it was doon, fro which dai `the arke of the Lord dwellide in Caryathiarym, daies weren multiplied; for the twentithe yeer was now, after that Samuel bigan to teche the puple; and al Israel restide aftir the Lord.

3 Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa se, “Sɛ mode mo koma nyinaa resan akɔ Awurade nkyɛn de a, ɛno de, montwe mo ho mfi ananafo anyame ne Astoret ahoni ho. Munsi mo adwene pi sɛ mobɛyɛ osetie ama Awurade, na monsom ɔno nko, na obegye mo afi Filistifo nsam.”

Forsothe Samuel spak to al the hows of Israel, and seide, If in al youre herte ye turnen ayen to the Lord, do ye awei alien goddis, Balym and Astaroth, fro the myddis of you; and make ye redi youre hertis to the Lord, and serue ye hym aloone; and he schal delyuere you fro the hond of Filisteis.

4 Enti Israelfo no too Baalim ne Astoret gui, som Awurade nko.

Therfor the sones of Israel diden awey Baalym and Astoroth, and serueden the Lord aloone.

5 Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa se, “Mo nyinaa mommra Mispa, na memmɔ Awurade mpae mma mo.”

Forsothe Samuel seide, Gadere ye al Israel in to Masphat, that Y preie the Lord for you.

6 Enti wɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ. Na wɔn anyankamade mu no, wɔsaw nsu fi abura bi mu, na wohwie guu Awurade anim. Wodii abuada da no, na wɔkaa nokware sɛ wɔayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Enti Mispa hɔ na Samuel bɛyɛɛ Israel so temmufo.

And thei camen togidere in to Masphat, and thei drowen watir, and shedden out in the `siyt of the Lord; and thei fastiden in that day, and seiden, Lord, we synneden to thee. And Samuel demyde the sones of Israel in Masphat.

7 Bere a Filistifo sodifo no tee sɛ Israel nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Mispa no, wɔboaboaa wɔn asraafo ano, tu teɛe. Na Israelfo no tee sɛ Filistifo no rebɛn wɔn no, wɔn koma tuu yiye.

And Filisteis herden that the sones of Israel weren gaderid in Masphat; and the princes of Filisteis stieden to Israel. And whanne the sones of Israel hadden herd this, thei dredden of the face of Filisteis.

8 Woguan toaa Samuel se, “Srɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, na onnye yɛn mfi Filistifo nsam.”

And `thei seiden to Samuel, Ceesse thou not to crye for vs to oure Lord God, that he saue vs fro the `hoond of Filisteis.

9 Enti Samuel faa oguan ba a onnyinii de ne mua no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Ɔsrɛɛ Awurade maa Israelfo, na Awurade tiei.

Forsothe Samuel took o soukynge lomb, and offride that hool in to brent sacrifice to the Lord. And Samuel criede to the Lord for Israel; and the Lord herde hym.

10 Bere a Samuel gu so rebɔ ɔhyew afɔre no, Filistifo no baa sɛ wɔrebɛko. Nanso Onyankopɔn de aprannaa nne a emu yɛ duru yiye kasa fi soro, maa basabasayɛ sii Filistifo no mu, maa Israelfo no dii wɔn so nkonim.

Forsothe it was doon, whanne Samuel offryde brent sacrifice, that Filisteis bigunnen batel ayens Israel. Sotheli the Lord thundride with greet thundur in that dai on Filisteis, and made hem aferd; and thei weren slayn of the sones of Israel.

11 Israel mmarima pam wɔn fi Mispa, kosii Bet-Kar, kunkum wɔn guu ɔkwan so.

And the sones of Israel yeden out of Masphat, and pursueden Filisteis, and smytiden hem `til to the place that was vndur Bethachar.

12 Ɛnna Samuel faa ɔbo kɛse bi de sii Mispa ne Sen ntam. Na ɔtoo no din Ebeneser a ase ne “Ɔboa bo” na ɔkae se, “Ɛha na Awurade aboa yɛn abesi!”

Forsothe Samuel took o stoon, and puttide it bitwixe Masphat, and bitwixe Sen; and he clepide the name of that place The stoon of help. And he seide, Hidir to the Lord helpide vs.

13 Enti wodii Filistifo no so, na wɔantumi ammegye Israelfo nsase amfa wɔ bere tenten bi mu. Na Samuel nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Awurade nsa a ɛyɛ den no tiaa Filistifo.

And Filisteis weren maad low, and addiden no more to come in to the termes of Israel. And so the `hond of the Lord was maad on Filisteis in alle the daies of Samuel.

14 Na Israel nkurow a ɛbɛn Ekron ne Gat no a na Filistifo no agyigye no. Wɔde asase a aka a Filistifo no agyigye no kaa ho. Ɛmaa asomdwoe baa Israel ne Amorifo ntam saa bere no.

And the citees whiche the Filisteis token fro Israel, weren yoldun to Israel, fro Accaron `til to Geth and `hise termes; and the Lord delyuerede Israel fro the hond of Filisteis; and pees was bitwixe Israel and Ammorrey.

15 Samuel kɔɔ so yɛɛ Israel so temmufo ne nkwa nna a aka nyinaa.

Also Samuel demyde Israel in alle the daies of his lijf, that is, `til to the ordeynyng `and confermyng of Saul;

16 Afe biara, na otu kwan kyinkyin bu atɛn wɔ nʼasennii. Ofi ase wɔ Bet-El de kɔ Gilgal na wawie wɔ Mispa. Obuu Israelfo atɛn wɔ saa nkurow yi biara so.

and he yede bi `alle yeeris, and cumpasside Bethel, and Galgal, and Masphat, and he demyde Israel in the forseid places.

17 Afei, na ɔsan ba ne kurom Rama bedi nsɛm wɔ hɔ nso. Na Samuel sii afɔremuka wɔ Rama de maa Awurade.

And he turnede ayen in to Ramatha, for his hows was there; and he demyde Israel there, and he bildide there also an auter to the Lord.
