1The men of Kiriath Jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Yahweh.
1 Ciriyat-Yeyarim jama binde kaa ka Rabbi sundurko sambu ka kond'a ka daŋ Abinadab windo ra noodin tondo ra. I n'a izo Eliyezar hanandi zama a ma Rabbi sundurko batu.
1And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.
2It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh.
2 A ciya binde, za han kaŋ hane Rabbi sundurko go Ciriyat-Yeyarim ra ga goro, a te alwaati kuuku, zama jiiri waranka no. Israyla dumo kulu mo goono ga hẽ, i ga ba ngey ma Rabbi ceeci.
2And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.
3Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you do return to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
3 Samuwila mo salaŋ Israyla dumo kulu se ka ne: «D'araŋ bare ka ye ka kaa Rabbi do d'araŋ biney kulu, kal araŋ ma fay da mebarawey de-koyey din, araŋ ma fay da Astarot k'araŋ miila daŋ araŋ biney ma ye Rabbi do, araŋ ma may a se, nga hinne. Nga mo g'araŋ kaa Filistancey kambe ra.»
3And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only.
4 Waato din gaa no Israyla izey fay da Baaley* da Astarot ka may Rabbi se, nga hinne.
4Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served Jehovah only.
5Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Yahweh.”
5 Samuwila ye ka ne koyne: «I ma Israyla kulu margu Mizpa, ay mo ya te araŋ se adduwa Rabbi gaa.»
5And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto Jehovah.
6They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
6 Kala ngey mo margu Mizpa. I na hari kaa ka soogu Rabbi jine, i na mehaw te han din. Noodin binde i ne: «Iri na zunubi te Rabbi se.» Samuwila goono ga Israyla izey may noodin Mizpa ra.
6And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
7 Waato din no Filistancey maa baaru kaŋ Israyla go margante Mizpa. Filistancey koyey tun ka gaaba nda Israyla. Waato kaŋ Israyla borey du baaru, i humburu Filistancey.
7And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t cease to cry to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
8 Israyla izey mo ne Samuwila se: «Ma si fay da jinde sambuyaŋ Rabbi iri Irikoyo gaa iri se, zama a m'iri faaba Filistancey kambe ra.»
8And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh: and Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel; and Yahweh answered him.
9 Samuwila binde na feej'ize naanandi sambu k'a salle sargay summaare kaŋ i ga ton Rabbi se. Samuwila na jinde sambu Rabbi gaa Israyla se. Rabbi mo tu a se.
9And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him.
10As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
10 Samuwila go sargay summaara kaŋ i ga ton salleyaŋ gaa, kala Filistancey maan ka kaa zama ngey ma Israyla wongu. Amma Rabbi kaati nda kaatiyaŋ bambata Filistancey gaa han din hane, sanda beene kaatiyaŋ cine. A n'i tuti ka ye banda. I n'i makati han din Israyla jine.
10And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.
11The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came under Beth Kar.
11 Israyla jama binde fun Mizpa. I na Filistancey gana k'i kar kal i kond'ey Bayt-Kar cire.
11And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, “Ebenezer” means “stone of help.” saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.”
12 Gaa no Samuwila na tondi sambu k'a sinji Mizpa nda Sen game ra. A na tondo din maa daŋ Eben-Ezer, ka ne: «Za doŋ hala ka kaa sohõ Rabbi goono g'iri gaa.»
12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us.
13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel. The hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
13 Filistancey binde di kayna, i mana ye ka koy Israyla hirro me koyne. Rabbi kamba goono ga gaaba nda Filistancey Samuwila jirbey me-a-me ra.
13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
14 Kwaarey kaŋ yaŋ Filistancey kom Israyla gaa ye ka kaa Israyla kambe ra, za Ekron kal a ma koy Gat. Israyla borey binde na ngey hirro faaba Filistancey kambe ra. I na sabayaŋ daŋ mo Amorancey da Israyla game ra.
14And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
15 Samuwila binde na Israyla may a fundo jirbey kulu ra.
15And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
16 Jiiri ka kaa jiiri a ga laabo windi ka koy Betel da Jilgal da Mizpa yaŋ. A goono ga ciiti Israyla se nangey din kulu.
16And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
17His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
17 A ga ye ka kaa Rama mo, zama noodin no a windo go, noodin mo no a ciiti Israyla se. A na sargay feema cina noodin mo Rabbi se.
17And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar unto Jehovah.
