1 Samuel 4
1 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa tee nsɛm a ɛfiri Samuel hɔ. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Israelfoɔ ne Filistifoɔ reko. Israelfoɔ akodɔm kyeree sraban wɔ Ebeneser ɛnna Filistifoɔ nso kyeree sraban wɔ Afek.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoimagarire makarũe na Afilisti. Andũ a Isiraeli makĩamba hema ciao kũu Ebeni-Ezeri, nao Afilisti makĩamba ciao kũu Afeku.
2 Filistifoɔ no to hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ akodɔm no so, dii wɔn so nkonim, na wɔkumm nnipa mpemnan.
Afilisti magĩtũma ita rĩao rĩgacemanie na Isiraeli, na o ũrĩa mbaara yathiiaga na mbere-rĩ, noguo Isiraeli maahootagwo nĩ Afilisti, arĩa mooragire andũ ta 4,000 kũu maarũagĩra.
3 Ɔko no baa awieeɛ, na Israel akodɔm sane kɔɔ wɔn sraban mu hɔ no, Israel mpanimfoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Adɛn nti na Awurade ama yɛadi nkoguo ɛnnɛ yi wɔ Filistifoɔ anim yi? Momma yɛnkɔfa Awurade Apam Adaka no mfiri Silo. Sɛ yɛde kɔ ɔsa a, ɛbɛgye yɛn afiri yɛn atamfoɔ nsam.”
Rĩrĩa mbũtũ ciacookire kambĩ-inĩ-rĩ, athuuri a Isiraeli makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Jehova atũma tũhootwo nĩ Afilisti ũmũthĩ nĩkĩ? Nĩ tũgĩĩrei ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma Shilo, nĩgeetha tũthiĩ narĩo rĩtũhonokie kuuma moko-inĩ ma thũ ciitũ.”
4 Enti, nnipa no somaa mmarima kɔɔ Silo, na wɔde Otumfoɔ Awurade a ɔte Kerubim ntam Apam Adaka no baeɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no na Eli mmammarima baanu Hofni ne Pinehas ka wɔn a wɔsoaa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no kɔɔ akono hɔ no ho.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio magĩtũma andũ kũu Shilo, nao makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gatagatĩ ka makerubi. Nao ariũ eerĩ a Eli, Hofini na Finehasi, maarĩ hamwe na ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai.
5 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ no hunuu sɛ wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no reba nsraban no mu no, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ ose maa asase wosoeɛ.
Rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩakinyire kambĩ-inĩ-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe makiugĩrĩria na mũgambo mũnene o nginya thĩ ĩkĩinaina.
6 Filistifoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na ɛrekɔ so yi? Ɛdeɛn osebɔ na ɛwɔ Hebrifoɔ sraban mu hɔ yi?” Wɔtee sɛ Awurade Apam Adaka no na abɛduru sraban mu hɔ no,
Na rĩrĩa Afilisti maaiguire mbugĩrĩrio ĩyo makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mbugĩrĩrio ĩyo ĩrĩ kambĩ-inĩ ya Ahibirania nĩ ya kĩĩ?” Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maamenyire atĩ nĩ ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova rĩakinyĩte kambĩ-inĩ-rĩ,
7 wɔsuroeɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Anyame no aba wɔn sraban mu hɔ. Ɛnneɛ, asɛm ato yɛn! Yɛnhyiaa asɛm a ɛte sei bi da.
Afilisti magĩĩtigĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩyũkĩte kambĩ-inĩ, ithuĩ tũrĩ thĩĩna-inĩ! Gũtirĩ kuoneka ũndũ ta ũyũ mbere ĩno.
8 Hwan na ɔbɛgye yɛn afiri saa Israel anyame atumfoɔ yi nsam? Wɔne anyame a wɔde owu yadeɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa bi sɛee Misraimfoɔ, ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ no.
Wũi-ĩiya-witũ-ĩ! Nũũ ũgũtũhonokia moko-inĩ ma ngai ici irĩ hinya ũũ? Ici nĩcio ngai iria ciahũũrire andũ a Misiri na mĩthiro ya mĩthemba yothe werũ-inĩ.
9 Monnyere mo ho, Filistifoɔ! Monnyina sɛ mmarima; anyɛ saa a, Hebrifoɔ no bɛfa mo nkoa sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ yɛn nkoa no.”
Mwĩyũmĩrĩriei, Afilisti aya! Tuĩkai arũme ki, kana mũtuo ngombo cia Ahibirania, ta ũrĩa matũire marĩ ngombo cianyu. Tuĩkai arũme ki, na mũrũe!”
10 Enti, Filistifoɔ no koo anibereɛ so, dii Israelfoɔ no so bio. Wɔn a wɔkunkumm wɔn no dɔɔso. Israelfoɔ ɔpeduasa na wɔkunkumm wɔn ɛda no. Wɔn a wɔnyaa wɔn ti didii mu no dwane kɔɔ wɔn ntomadan mu.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afilisti makĩrũa nao, na andũ a Isiraeli makĩhootwo, nake o mũndũ akĩũrĩra hema-inĩ yake. Nayo njũragano yarĩ nene mũno; thigari cia Isiraeli ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ iria ciathiiaga na magũrũ ikĩũragwo.
11 Wɔfaa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no, na wɔkunkumm Eli mmammarima baanu a wɔyɛ Hofni ne Pinehas no.
Narĩo ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai rĩgĩtahwo, nao ariũ eerĩ a Eli, Hofini na Finehasi, magĩkua.
12 Ɛda no ara, ɔbarima bi firi Benyamin abusuakuo mu dwane firii akono hɔ bɛduruu Silo. Na watete ne ntadeɛ mu, de mfuturo ahura ne tiri mu, de kyerɛ nʼawerɛhoɔ.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio Mũbenjamini ũmwe akĩhanyũka oimĩte mbaara-inĩ, agĩthiĩ nginya Shilo, nguo ciake irĩ ndembũkangu na aarĩ na tĩĩri mũtwe.
13 Na Eli retwɛn wɔ kwankyɛn baabi, pɛ sɛ ɔte ɔko no mu nsɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, na ne bo ntɔ ne yam koraa wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ho. Ɔbɔfoɔ no ba bɛkaa asɛm a asie no, wɔtee nteateamu bi wɔ kuro no mu nyinaa.
Na rĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, agĩkora Eli aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, acũthĩrĩirie, tondũ ngoro yake yarĩ na guoya nĩ ũndũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio aatoonyire itũũra-inĩ, na akĩheana ũhoro ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte-rĩ, itũũra rĩothe rĩgĩkayũrũrũka.
14 Eli bisaa sɛ, “Saa nteateamu yi ase ne sɛn?” Ɔbɔfoɔ no yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Eli,
Rĩrĩa Eli aiguire mũkayũrũrũko ũcio akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Gĩtũmi kĩa inegene rĩu nĩ kĩĩ?” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ narua harĩ Eli,
15 a na wadi mfeɛ aduɔkron nwɔtwe na nʼani afira no nkyɛn.
ũrĩa warĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo kenda na ĩnana, ũrĩa maitho make moorĩte, akaagaga kuona.
16 Ɔka kyerɛɛ Eli sɛ, “Seesei ara na mefiri akono hɔ baeɛ. Nnɛ yi ara, na mewɔ hɔ.” Eli bisaa sɛ, “Na ɛkɔsii sɛn?”
Akĩĩra Eli atĩrĩ, “No hĩndĩ ndooka nyumĩte mbaara-inĩ; ndoora kuuma kuo o ũmũthĩ.” Eli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa gwĩkĩkire mũrũ wakwa?”
17 Ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Israelfoɔ adi nkoguo. Israel akodɔm no mpem mpem atotɔ wɔ akono hɔ. Afei, wo mmammarima baanu a ɛyɛ Hofni ne Pinehas no nso wɔawuwu, na Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no nso, wɔafa.”
Mũndũ ũcio warehire ũhoro agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoorĩire Afilisti, nayo mbũtũ ya ita nĩyũragĩtwo mũno. O na ariũ aku eerĩ, Hofini na Finehasi, nĩ akuũ, narĩo ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai nĩitahe.”
18 Ɔbɔfoɔ no kaa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no ho asɛm ara pɛ, Eli firi akonnwa a ɔte so mu wɔ abɔntenpono ho no te hwee nʼakyi. Ne kɔn mu buiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wabɔ akɔkoraa a ne mu nso yɛ duru. Na wadi Israel anim mfirinhyia aduanan.
Rĩrĩa aagwetire ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, Eli akĩgũa na ngara oimĩte gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake hau mwena-inĩ wa kĩhingo. Ngingo yake ĩkiunĩka, agĩkua, nĩ ũndũ aarĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ na akaritũha. Aatongoretie Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
19 Saa ɛberɛ no na nʼase baa a ɔyɛ Pinehas yere nyem a ɔreyɛ awoɔ. Ɔtee sɛ wɔafa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no, na nʼase ne ne kunu awuwuo no, awoɔ kaa no amonom hɔ.
Mũtumia wa mũriũ wake Finehasi aarĩ na nda na aatigĩtie hanini aciare. Na rĩrĩa aaiguire ũhoro ũcio wa atĩ ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai nĩrĩtahĩtwo, na atĩ iciciarawe hamwe na mũthuuriwe nĩmakuĩte-rĩ, akĩnyiitwo nĩ ruo rwa kũrũmwo na agĩciara, no agĩtoorio nĩ ruo rwa gũciara.
20 Ɔwuu wɔ awokoɔ mu, nanso ansa na ɔrebɛwu no, mmaa a wɔregye no awoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Nsuro woawo abarimaa.” Nanso, wammua wɔn na wankasa wɔn ho nso.
Na rĩrĩa aakuaga, atumia arĩa maamũteithagĩrĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũkua ngoro; nĩwaciara kahĩĩ.” No ndaacookirie ũndũ o na kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro o na ũrĩkũ.
21 Ɔbesebesee nʼano too abarimaa no edin Ikabod, “Animuonyam no wɔ he, Israel animuonyam no asa,” ɛfiri sɛ, wɔafa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no na nʼase ne ne kunu nso awuwu.
Nake agĩtua kahĩĩ kau Ikabodu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Riiri nĩweherete Isiraeli,” nĩ ũndũ wa ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai gũtahwo, na gũkua gwa iciciarawe na mũthuuriwe.
22 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Animuonyam afiri Israel mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔafa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no.”
Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Riiri nĩweherete ũkoima Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai nĩrĩtahĩtwo.”
