< 1 Samuel 7 >

1 Nígbà náà àwọn ará Kiriati-Jearimu wá, wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Wọ́n gbé e lọ sí ilé Abinadabu lórí òkè, wọ́n sì ya Eleasari ọmọ rẹ̀ sí mímọ́ láti ṣọ́ àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.
Then the men of Kiriath-jearim came for the ark of the LORD and took it into Abinadab’s house on the hill. And they consecrated his son Eleazar to guard the ark of the LORD.
2 Ó sì jẹ́ ní ìgbà pípẹ́, ogún ọdún ni àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa fi wà ní Kiriati-Jearimu. Gbogbo ilé Israẹli ṣọ̀fọ̀ wọ́n sì pohùnréré ẹkún sí Olúwa.
And from that day a long time passed, twenty years in all, as the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim. And all the house of Israel mourned and sought after the LORD.
3 Samuẹli sọ fún gbogbo ilé Israẹli pé, “Tí ẹ bá ń padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín, ẹ yẹra kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọlọ́run àjèjì àti Aṣtoreti kí ẹ sì fi ara yín jì fún Olúwa kí ẹ sì sin òun nìkan ṣoṣo, òun yóò sì gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Filistini.”
Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and Ashtoreths among you, prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only. And He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
4 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yẹra fún Baali àti Aṣtoreti, wọ́n sì sin Olúwa nìkan ṣoṣo.
So the Israelites put away the Baals and Ashtoreths and served only the LORD.
5 Nígbà náà ni, Samuẹli wí pé, “Ẹ kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ sí Mispa, èmi yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un yín lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.”
Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD on your behalf.”
6 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti péjọpọ̀ ní Mispa, wọ́n pọn omi, wọ́n sì dà á sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa. Ní ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n gbààwẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa.” Samuẹli sì jẹ́ olórí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní Mispa.
When they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted, and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.
7 Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ pé àwọn Israẹli ti péjọ ní Mispa, àwọn aláṣẹ Filistini gòkè wá láti kọlù wọ́n. Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n nítorí àwọn Filistini.
When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, their rulers marched up toward Israel. And when the Israelites learned of this, they feared the Philistines
8 Wọ́n sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Má ṣe dákẹ́ kíké pe Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa, ké pè é kí ó lè gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini.”
and said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
9 Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli mú ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ ọmú, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa. Ó sí ké pe Olúwa nítorí ilé Israẹli, Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn.
Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. He cried out to the LORD on behalf of Israel, and the LORD answered him.
10 Nígbà tí Samuẹli ń ṣe ìrúbọ ẹbọ sísun, àwọn Filistini súnmọ́ tòsí láti bá Israẹli ja ogun. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ náà, Olúwa sán àrá ńlá lu àwọn Filistini, ó sì mú jìnnìjìnnì bá wọn, a sì lé wọn níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
As the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel, Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering. But that day the LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.
11 Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli tú jáde láti Mispa. Wọ́n sì ń lépa àwọn Filistini, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n ní àpá rìn títí dé abẹ́ Beti-Kari.
Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth-car.
12 Samuẹli mú òkúta kan ó sì fi lélẹ̀ láàrín Mispa àti Ṣeni, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Ebeneseri, wí pé, “Ibí ni Olúwa ràn wá lọ́wọ́ dé.”
Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣẹ́gun Filistini, wọn kò sì wá sí agbègbè àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́. Ní gbogbo ìgbésí ayé Samuẹli, ọwọ́ Olúwa lòdì sí àwọn Filistini.
So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped invading the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Àwọn ìlú láti Ekroni dé Gati tí àwọn Filistini ti gbà lọ́wọ́ Israẹli ni ó ti gbà padà fún Israẹli, ó sì gba gbogbo ilẹ̀ agbègbè rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìṣàkóso àwọn Filistini. Ìrẹ́pọ̀ sì wà láàrín Israẹli àti àwọn Amori.
The cities from Ekron to Gath, which the Philistines had taken, were restored to Israel, who also delivered the surrounding territory from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between the Israelites and the Amorites.
15 Samuẹli tẹ̀síwájú gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́ lórí Israẹli. Ní ọjọ́ ayé e rẹ̀.
So Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 Láti ọdún dé ọdún, ó lọ yíká láti Beteli dé Gilgali dé Mispa, ó sì ń ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli ní gbogbo ibi wọ̀nyí.
Every year he would go on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all these places.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ó máa ń padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní Rama, níbí tí ilé rẹ̀ wà, ó sì túnṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli níbẹ̀, ó sì kọ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa.
Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, and there he judged Israel and built an altar to the LORD.
