1 Samuel 7
1 Then the men of Kiriath-iearim came, and tooke vp the Arke of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill: and they sanctified Eleazar his sonne, to keepe the Arke of the Lord.
Bato ya Kiriati-Yearimi bayaki kozwa Sanduku ya Yawe mpe bamemaki yango na ndako ya Abinadabi, na ngomba moke; mpe babulisaki Eleazari, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpo ete abatelaka Sanduku ya Yawe.
2 (For while the Arke abode in Kiriath-iearim, the time was long, for it was twentie yeeres) and al the house of Israel lamented after ye Lord.
Wuta mokolo Sanduku ya Yawe ekomaki na Kiriati-Yearimi, elekaki mikolo ebele: mibu pene tuku mibale. Mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki posa ya kozonga epai na Yawe.
3 Then Samuel spake vnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye be come againe vnto the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, and Ashtaroth, and direct your hearts vnto the Lord, and serue him only, and he shall deliuer you out of the hand of ye Philistims.
Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato nyonso ya Isalaele: « Soki ezali na motema na bino mobimba nde bolingi kozonga epai na Yawe, bolongola kati na bino banzambe ya bapaya mpe bikeko ya Asitarite; mpe bomipesa mobimba epai na Yawe mpe bosalela kaka Ye. Na nzela wana nde Ye akokangola bino na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. »
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serued the Lord onely.
Bato ya Isalaele balongolaki kati na bango banzambe Bala mpe bikeko ya Asitarite, mpe basalelaki kaka Yawe.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you vnto the Lord.
Samuele alobaki na bango: « Bosangisa bato nyonso ya Isalaele, na Mitsipa, mpe ngai nakosambela Yawe mpo na bino. »
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drewe water and powred it out before the Lord, and fasted the same day, and sayd there, We haue sinned against the Lord. And Samuel iudged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
Bato ya Isalaele basanganaki na Mitsipa, batokaki mayi mpe basopaki yango na mabele, liboso ya Yawe. Na mokolo wana, bakilaki bilei mpe batubelaki kuna masumu na koloba: « Tosalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe. » Samuele akambaki Isalaele wuta na Mitsipa.
7 When the Philistims heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the princes of the Philistims went vp against Israel: and when the children of Israel heard that, they were afraide of the Philistims.
Tango bato ya Filisitia bayokaki ete bato ya Isalaele basangani na Mitsipa, bakambi ya bato ya Filisitia bayaki kobundisa bango. Bongo tango bato ya Isalaele bayokaki sango yango, babangaki bato ya Filisitia.
8 And the children of Israel sayd to Samuel, Cease not to crie vnto the Lord our God for vs, that hee may saue vs out of the hand of the Philistims.
Bato ya Isalaele balobaki na Samuele: « Kotika te kosambela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo na biso mpo ete abikisa biso na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. »
9 Then Samuel tooke a sucking lambe, and offered it all together for a burnt offering vnto the Lord, and Samuel cryed vnto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
Samuele akamataki mwana meme ya mobali, oyo ezalaki nanu komela mabele, mpe abonzaki yango mobimba lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe. Abelelaki Yawe mpo na Isalaele, mpe Yawe ayokaki losambo na ye.
10 And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistims came to fight against Israel: but the Lord thundred with a great thunder that day vpon the Philistims, and scattered them: so they were slaine before Israel.
Wana Samuele azalaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, bato ya Filisitia bapusanaki pembeni mpo na kobundisa bato ya Isalaele. Kasi na mokolo wana, Yawe atindelaki bato ya Filisitia kake makasi oyo ekotisaki mobulu kati na bango. Mpe bato ya Isalaele balongaki bango.
11 And the men of Israel went from Mizpeh and pursued the Philistims, and smote them vntill they came vnder Beth-car.
Bato ya Isalaele babimaki na Mitsipa, balandaki bato ya Filisitia kino na se ya Beti-Kari mpe babomaki bango.
12 Then Samuel tooke a stone and pitched it betweene Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name thereof, Eben-ezer, and he sayd, Hitherto hath the Lord holpen vs.
Bongo Samuele akamataki libanga moko mpe atiaki yango kati na Mitsipa mpe Sheni; apesaki yango kombo « Ebeni-Ezeri » mpo na koloba: « Kino na esika oyo, Yawe asungi biso. »
13 So the Philistims were brought vnder, and they came no more againe into the coastes of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistims all the dayes of Samuel.
Bato ya Filisitia bayokisamaki soni mpe bazongelaki lisusu te kokota na mokili ya Isalaele. Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Samuele, loboko na Yawe etelemelaki bato ya Filisitia.
14 Also the cities which the Philistims had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Ekron euen to Gath: and Israel deliuered the coastes of the same out of the hands of the Philistims: and there was peace betweene Israel and the Amorites.
Bingumba oyo bato ya Filisitia babotolaki epai ya bato ya Isalaele, kobanda na Ekroni kino na Gati, ezongaki na maboko ya bato ya Isalaele, mpe bato ya Isalaele bakangolaki bamboka nyonso ya zingazinga oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya bato ya Filisitia. Mpe kimia ezalaki kati na bato ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Amori.
15 And Samuel iudged Israel all the dayes of his life,
Samuele akambaki Isalaele mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.
16 And went about yeere by yere to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and iudged Israel in all those places.
Abandaki kotambola mibu nyonso, kobanda na Beteli, koleka na Giligali kino na Mitsipa, mpo na kokamba bato ya Isalaele na bisika nyonso wana.
17 Afterward hee returned to Ramah: for there was his house, and there he iudged Israel: also he built an altar there vnto the Lord.
Kasi azalaki kozonga tango nyonso na Rama epai wapi ndako na ye ezalaki. Ezali kuna nde azalaki lisusu kokamba bato ya Isalaele. Mpe atongaki kuna etumbelo mpo na Yawe.
