1 Samuel 4
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Samuẹli tọ gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wá. Nísinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde láti lọ bá àwọn Filistini jà. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì pàgọ́ sí Ebeneseri àti àwọn Filistini ní Afeki.
And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goeth out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
2 Àwọn Filistini mú ogun wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti pàdé Israẹli, nígbà tí ogun náà bẹ̀rẹ̀, àwọn Filistini ṣẹ́gun Israẹli wọ́n pa ẹgbàajì ọkùnrin nínú ogun náà.
and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreadeth itself, and Israel is smitten before the Philistines, and they smite among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
3 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà padà sí ibùdó, àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli sì béèrè pé, “Èéṣe ti Olúwa fi mú kí àwọn Filistini ṣẹ́gun wa lónìí? Ẹ jẹ́ kí a gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa láti Ṣilo wá, kí ó ba à le lọ pẹ̀lú wa kí ó sì gbà wá là kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa.”
And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of Israel say, 'Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth save us out of the hand of our enemies.'
4 Nítorí náà a rán àwọn ènìyàn lọ sí Ṣilo, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wá, ẹni tí ń wà láàrín àwọn Kérúbù àti àwọn ọmọ Eli méjèèjì Hofini àti Finehasi wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run.
And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there [are] two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
5 Nígbà tí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wá sí ibùdó, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì dìde láti kígbe tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ sì mì tìtì.
And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto the camp, that all Israel shout — a great shout — and the earth is moved.
6 Ní ìgbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ ariwo náà wọ́n béèrè pé, “Kí ni gbogbo ariwo yìí ní ibùdó Heberu?” Nígbà tí wọ́n mọ̀ wí pé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa ti wá sí ibùdó,
And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, 'What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come in unto the camp.
7 àwọn Filistini sì bẹ̀rù pé, Ọlọ́run kékeré ti wọ ibùdó, wọ́n wí pé, “A wọ wàhálà, irú èyí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ rí.
And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, 'God hath come in unto the camp;' and they say, 'Woe to us, for there hath not been like this heretofore.
8 Àwa gbé! Ta ni yóò gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run alágbára yìí? Àwọn ni Ọlọ́run tí ó fi ìpọ́njú pa àwọn ará Ejibiti pẹ̀lú gbogbo àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ní aginjù.
Woe to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these honourable gods? these [are] the gods who are smiting the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
9 Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára Filistini, ẹ ṣe bí ọkùnrin, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò di ẹrú àwọn Heberu, bí wọ́n ti jẹ́ sí i yín. Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára ọkùnrin, kí ẹ sì jagun!”
Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest ye do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you — then ye have become men, and have fought.'
10 Nígbà náà àwọn Filistini jà, wọ́n sì ṣẹ́gun àwọn Israẹli olúkúlùkù sì sá padà sínú àgọ́ rẹ̀, wọ́n pa ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, àwọn ará Israẹli tí ó kú sí ogun sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọmọ-ogun orí ilẹ̀.
And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen;
11 Wọ́n gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, àwọn ọmọkùnrin Eli méjèèjì sì kú, Hofini àti Finehasi.
and the ark of God hath been taken, and the two sons of Eli have died, Hophni and Phinehas.
12 Lọ́jọ́ kan náà tí ará Benjamini kan sá wá láti ojú ogun tí ó sì lọ sí Ṣilo, aṣọ rẹ̀ sì fàya pẹ̀lú eruku lórí rẹ̀.
And a man of Benjamin runneth out of the ranks, and cometh into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] rent, and earth on his head;
13 Nígbà tí ó sì dé, Eli sì jókòó sórí àga rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọ̀nà, ó ń wò, ọkàn rẹ̀ kò balẹ̀ nítorí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà wọ ìlú tí ó sì sọ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀, gbogbo ìlú bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí sọkún.
and he cometh in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart hath been trembling for the ark of God, and the man hath come in to declare [it] in the city, and all the city crieth out.
14 Eli gbọ́ ìró ohùn ẹkún náà ó sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìtumọ̀ ariwo yìí?” Ọkùnrin náà sì sáré tọ Eli wá
And Eli heareth the noise of the cry, and saith, 'What — the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and cometh in, and declareth to Eli.
15 Eli sì di ẹni méjìdínlọ́gọ́run ọdún, tí ojú rẹ̀ di bàìbàì, kò sì ríran mọ́.
And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he hath not been able to see.
16 Ọkùnrin náà sọ fún Eli, “Mo ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ dé láti ibi ogun náà ni: mo sá láti ibi ogun náà wá lónìí.” Eli sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀ ọmọ mi?”
And the man saith unto Eli, 'I [am] he who hath come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he saith, 'What hath been the matter, my son?'
17 Ọkùnrin tí ó mú ìròyìn náà wá dáhùn pé, “Israẹli sá níwájú àwọn Filistini, ìṣubú àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà sì pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ méjèèjì, Hofini àti Finehasi, wọ́n kú, wọ́n sì ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lọ.”
And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, 'Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have died — Hophni and Phinehas — and the ark of God hath been captured.'
18 Nígbà tí ó dárúkọ àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, Eli sì ṣubú sẹ́yìn kúrò lórí àga ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ bodè, ọrùn rẹ̀ ṣẹ́, ó sì kú, nítorí tí ó jẹ́ arúgbó ọkùnrin, ó sì tóbi, ó ti darí àwọn Israẹli fún ogójì ọdún.
And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God, that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years.
19 Aya ọmọ rẹ̀, ìyàwó Finehasi, ó lóyún ó súnmọ́ àkókò àti bí. Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ ìròyìn náà wí pé wọ́n ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa lọ àti wí pé baba ọkọ rẹ̀ àti ọkọ rẹ̀ ti kú, ó rọbí ó sì bímọ, ó sì borí ìrora ìrọbí náà.
And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her.
20 Bí ó ti ń kú lọ, obìnrin tí ó dúró tì í wí pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù; nítorí o ti bí ọmọ ọkùnrin.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ̀rọ̀ tàbí kọ ibi ara sí i.
And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, 'Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
21 Ó sì pe ọmọ náà ní Ikabodu, wí pé, “Kò sí ògo fún Israẹli mọ́,” nítorí tí wọ́n ti gba àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run àti ikú baba ọkọ rẹ̀ àti ti ọkọ rẹ̀.
and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, 'Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 Ó si wí pé, “Ògo kò sí fún Israẹli mọ́, nítorí ti a ti gbá àpótí Ọlọ́run.”
And she saith, 'Honour hath removed from Israel, for the ark of God hath been taken.'
