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 Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant 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 from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked 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 spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall 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.
And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, 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 Massephath, and I will pray for you to 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 were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.
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 the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before 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 to the Lord your God for us, and he shall 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 up as a whole burnt offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to 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 Samuel was offering the whole burnt offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown 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 forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.
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.”
And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has 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 Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border 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 took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
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 year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated 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 Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
