¹The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

¹Oo hadalkii Samuu'eelna wuxuu soo gaadhay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.

²The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was struck before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.

²Oo reer Falastiinna waxay weerar isugu soo diyaariyeen reer binu Israa'iil; oo markii ay dagaalkii isugu yimaadeenna reer binu Israa'iil waa la jebiyey reer Falastiin hortooda; oo waxay ciidankii berrinka joogay ka laayeen afar kun oo nin.

³When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh struck us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”

³Oo markay dadkii xeradii yimaadeen ayay odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil yidhaahdeen, Maanta maxaa Rabbigu inoogu laayay reer Falastiin hortooda? Haddaba sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga aynu Shiiloh ka soo qaadanno oo dhexdeenna ha yimaado, inuu inaga badbaadiyo gacanta cadaawayaasheenna.

⁴So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

⁴Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii waxay u cid direen Shiiloh, oo waxay halkaas ka keeneen sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga Ciidammada oo ku fadhiya Keruubiimta dushooda, oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas iyana halkaasay la joogeen sanduuqa axdiga Ilaah.

⁵When the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

⁵Oo markii sanduuqii axdiga Rabbigu soo galay xeradii ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku qayliyeen qaylo weyn ee dhulku la gariiray.

⁶When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that the ark of Yahweh had come into the camp.

⁶Oo reer Falastiinna markay maqleen dhawaaqii qaylada ayay yidhaahdeen, Dhawaaqa qaylada weyn ee xeradii Cibraaniyadii ka baxaya micnihiisu waa maxay? Markaasay garteen inuu sanduuqii Rabbigu xeradii dhex yimid.

⁷The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.

⁷Oo reer Falastiinna way cabsadeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaah baa xeradii soo galay. Oo haddana waxay yidhaahdeen, Hoog baa inagu dhacay! Waayo, hadda ka hor waxan oo kale lama arag.

⁸Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

⁸Hoog baa inagu dhacaye! Bal yaa inaga samatabbixin doona ilaahyadan xoogga weyn gacantooda? Kuwanu waa ilaahyadii Masriyiinta ku laayay cidlada ee ku soo daayay belaayooyin cayn kasta ah.

⁹Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”

⁹Reer Falastiinow, xoog yeesha, oo raganimo isgeliya, yeydnan Cibraaniyada addoommo u noqone, sidii ay idiinku ahaayeen oo kale. Haddaba raganimo isgeliya oo dirira.

¹⁰The Philistines fought, and Israel was struck, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

¹⁰Markaasay reer Falastiin dirireen, reer binu Israa'iilna waa la jebiyey, oo midkood waliba wuxuu ku cararay teendhadiisii. Oo maalintaas waxaa la laayay dad aad u badan; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxaa ka le'day soddon kun oo nin oo lug ah.

¹¹The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

¹¹Oo sanduuqii Ilaahna waa la qaatay; oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaasna waa la dilay.

¹²There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.

¹²Oo ciidankii waxaa ka orday nin reer Benyaamiin ah, oo isla maalintiiba wuxuu yimid Shiiloh isagoo dharkiisu jeexjeexan yahay, oo madaxana ciid ku leh.

¹³When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

¹³Oo markuu yimid, bal eeg, Ceelii wuxuu ku fadhiyey kursigiisii waddada dhankeeda yiil, isagoo wax fiirinaya; waayo, qalbigiisu wuxuu u dhibbanaa sanduuqii Ilaah aawadiis. Oo markii ninkii soo galay magaaladii, oo uu u warramay, ayaa magaaladii oo dhammu qaylisay.

¹⁴When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.

¹⁴Oo Ceeliina markuu maqlay dhawaaqii qaylada ayuu yidhi, Buuqan sawaxankiisu waa maxay micnihiisu? Markaasaa ninkii intuu soo dhaqsaday ayuu Ceelii u yimid oo u warramay.

¹⁵Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.

¹⁵Ceeliina wuxuu jiray siddeed iyo sagaashan sannadood, oo indhihiisuna dem bay ahaayeen oo waxba ma uu arki karin.

¹⁶The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”

¹⁶Oo ninkii wuxuu Ceelii ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay kii ciidankii ka soo baxay, oo maantaan ciidankii ka soo cararay. Markaasuu yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, sidee bay xaaladdu u dhacday?

¹⁷He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”

¹⁷Oo kii warka keenay waa jawaabay oo yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil way ka carareen reer Falastiin, oo dad badan baa la laayay, oo labadaadii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas iyana way dhinteen, oo sanduuqii Ilaahna waa la qaatay.

¹⁸It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁸Oo markuu sanduuqii Ilaah wax uga sheegay, ayuu Ceelii dib uga dhacay kursigiisii iridda ag yiil, markaasuu qoorta ka jabay oo dhintay, waayo, wuxuu ahaa nin da' weyn oo culus. Oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil xukumi jiray afartan sannadood.

¹⁹His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.

¹⁹Oo gabadhii uu soddogga u ahaa ee Fiinexaas qabay, uur bay lahayd oo fool bay ku dhowayd; oo markay maqashay warkii ahaa in sanduuqii Ilaah la qaatay, oo ay soddoggeed iyo ninkeediiba dhinteen ayay foororsatay oo umushay; waayo, haddiiba fool baa qabatay.

²⁰About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid; for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.

²⁰Oo markay sakaraadaysay ayay naagihii agteeda taagnaa ku yidhaahdeen, Ha baqin, waayo, waxaad dhashay wiil. Laakiinse uma ay jawaabin, oo danna kama gelin.

²¹She named the child Ichabod, “Ichabod” means “no glory.” saying, “The glory has departed from Israel”; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

²¹Oo iyana waxay wiilkii u bixisay Iikabood, oo tidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil ammaantii way ka tagtay; maxaa yeelay, sanduuqii Ilaah waa la qaatay, oo weliba soddoggeed iyo ninkeediiba way dhinteen.Oo waxay tidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil ammaantii way ka tagtay; maxaa yeelay, sanduuqii Ilaah waa la qaatay.

²²She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.”

²²Oo waxay tidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil ammaantii way ka tagtay; maxaa yeelay, sanduuqii Ilaah waa la qaatay.
