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.

And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep 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 it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented 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.”

And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yẹra fún Baali àti Aṣtoreti, wọ́n sì sin Olúwa nìkan ṣoṣo.

Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5 Nígbà náà ni, Samuẹli wí pé, “Ẹ kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ sí Mispa, èmi yóò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún un yín lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.”

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.

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.

And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

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.

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of 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 the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of 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.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard 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.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten 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.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under 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.”

Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD 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 came no more into the coast 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.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 Samuẹli tẹ̀síwájú gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́ lórí Israẹli. Ní ọjọ́ ayé e rẹ̀.

And 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.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those 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.

And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
