1 Samoela 4

1 Ary tonga tany amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny tenin’ i Samoela. Dia nandeha ny Isiraely hiady tamin’ ny Filistina ka nitoby teo anilan’ i Ebenezera; ary ny Filistina kosa nitoby tany Afeka.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻae lea ʻa Samuela ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau nofoaki ʻo ofi ki Epenisa: pea naʻe nofoaki ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi ʻEfeki.

2 Dia nilahatra ny Filistina hiady amin’ ny Isiraely; ary rehefa raikitra ny ady, dia resin’ ny Filistina ny Isiraely, ka nahafatesany tokony ho efatra arivo lahy ny miaramila nilahatra tany an-tsaha.

Pea naʻe hiki ʻae tau ʻae kau Filisitia ke tau ki ʻIsileli: pea ʻi he fakahoko ʻae tau, naʻe teʻia leva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia: pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻi he tau ʻi he ngoue ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fā afe nai.

3 Ary rehefa tonga tany an-toby ny olona, dia hoy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely: Nahoana no, namely antsika teo anoloan’ ny Filistina Jehovah androany? Andeha halaintsika avy any Silo ho eto amintsika ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, ka raha tonga eto amintsika izany, dia hamonjy antsika amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalontsika.

Pea ʻi he hoko mai ʻae kakai ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā kuo teʻia ai ʻe Sihova kitautolu he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Filisitia? Ke tau ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova mei Sailo, koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hoko kiate kitautolu, ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili.”

4 Dia naniraka nankany Silo ny olona haka ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima; ary tao Silo, teo amin’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra, izy mirahalahy zanak’ i Ely, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa.

Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe he kakai ki Sailo, koeʻuhi kenau ʻomi mei ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo Selupi: pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua.

5 Ary rehefa tonga teo an-toby ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia nihoby mafy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka dia nanako ny tany.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe mavava ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he mavava lahi, ko ia naʻe ʻuʻulu ai ʻae fonua.

6 Ary rehefa ren’ ny Filistina ny hoby, dia hoy izy; Inona re izany hoby mafy any an-tobin’ ny Hebreo izany? Ary fantany fa tonga ao an-toby ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Filisitia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe mavava, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fuʻu mavava lahi ni ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Hepelū? Pea naʻa nau ʻilo kuo hoko ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova ki he ʻapitanga.

7 Dia raiki-tahotra ny Filistina ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra no tonga ao an-toby. Ary hoy koa izy: Mahita loza isika! fa tsy mbola nisy toy izao.

Pea naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Filisitia, he naʻa nau pehē, Kuo hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua ki he ʻapitanga. Pea naʻa nau pehē, Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! He kuo ʻikai ha meʻa pehē talu mei muʻa.

8 Mahita loza isika! Iza no hamonjy antsika amin’ ny tànan’ ireo andriamanitra mahery ireo? Ireo no andriamanitra izay namely ny Egyptiana tamin’ ny kapoka rehetra tany an-efitra.

Malaʻia kiate kitautolu! Ko hai te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi ʻOtua māfimafi na? Ko e ngaahi ʻOtua eni naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mamahi lahi ʻi he toafa.

9 Mahereza, ary aoka hitomban-dahy ianareo, ry Filistina, fandrao hanompo ny Hebreo ianareo tahaka ny nanompoany anareo; misehoa ho lehilahy ianareo, ka miadia.

‌ʻAe kau Filisitia, mou mālohi, ʻo fai ʻo ngalingali tangata, telia naʻa mou hoko ko e kau hopoate ki he kakai Hepelū, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau hopoate kiate kimoutolu: fai ʻo ngali mo e kau tangata ʻo tau.”

10 Ary niady ny Filistina, dia resy ny Isiraely, ka samy nandositra ho any an-dainy avy izy rehetra, ary be dia be no maty, dia lehilahy telo alina mandeha an-tongotra tamin’ ny Isiraely no niampatrampatra.

Pea naʻe tau ʻae kau Filisitia, pea naʻe toe teʻia ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe mate ai ʻae tokolahi ʻaupito he naʻe tō ai ʻae toko tolu mano ʻoe kau tangata ʻIsileli naʻe ʻalu ʻi lalo.

11 Dia lasan-ko babo ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, ary maty izy mirahalahy zanak’ i Ely, dia Hofinia sy Finehasa.

Pea naʻe moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai ko Hofini mo Finiasi.

12 Ary nisy lehilahy Benjamita anankiray nihazakazaka avy tany tamin’ ny miaramila ka tonga tao Silo androtrizay ihany, ary triatra ny akanjony, sady nihosin-tany ny lohany.

Pea naʻe lele ʻae tangata Penisimani mei he tau, ʻo hoko ki Sailo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, kuo mahaehae hono kofu, pea pani kelekele hono ʻulu.

13 Ary raha tonga izy, indro, Ely nipetraka teo amin’ ny sezany ka nitazana teo amoron-dalana, fa niemponempona ny fony noho ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra. Ary nony tonga tao an-tanàna ralehilahy ka nilaza, dia nidradradradra ny tao an-tanàna rehetra.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai vakai naʻe nofo leʻo pe ʻa Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ʻi he veʻehala: he naʻe tetetete hono loto telia ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae tangata ki he kolo, ʻo fakahā ia, naʻe tangi kalanga ʻae kolo kotoa pē.

14 Ary rehefa ren’ i Ely ny feo midradradradra, dia hoy izy: Inona izao feo mitabataba izao? Ary ilay lehilahy nanatona faingana ka nilaza tamin’ i Ely.

Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻe Ilai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe maveuveu ni?” Pea naʻe haʻu fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae tangata ʻo tala kia Ilai.

15 Ary efa valo amby sivi-folo taona Ely tamin’ izay, sady efa pahina ny masony, ka tsy nahita izy.

Pea naʻe hivangofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe valu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Ilai; pea kuo poʻuli hono mata, naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata.

16 Ary hoy ilay lehilahy tamin’ i Ely: Izaho ilay avy tany an-tafika, ary androany ihany no nandosirako niala tamin’ ny miaramila. Ary hoy izy: Nanao ahoana izay tany, anaka?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata kia Ilai, “Ko au ia kuo u haʻu mei he tau, pea u hola mei he tau he ʻaho ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku foha, Ko e hā kuo fai?”

17 Dia namaly ilay nitondra teny ka nanao hoe: Nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Filistina ny Isiraely, ka be dia be no maty, ary izy mirahalahy zanakao, Hofinia sy Finehasa, mba maty koa, sady lasan-ko babo ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra.

Pea talaange ʻe he tangata fekau, “Kuo hola ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea kuo tō ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kakai, pea kuo mate ʻa ho ongo foha ko Hofini mo Finiasi, pea kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.”

18 Ary nony nilaza ny amin’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra izy, dia lavo nitsilany niala tamin’ ny sezany teo anilan’ ny vavahady Ely, ka folaka ny vozony, dia maty izy, satria efa antitra sady mavesatra. Ary efa nitsara ny Isiraely efa-polo taona izy.

Pea ʻi heʻene lea ki he puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tō fakaholomui ia mei he nofoʻa ʻi he potu ʻoe matapā, pea mafesi ai hono kia, pea pekia ai: he ko e tangata motuʻa ia pea mamafa. Pea naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

19 Ary ny vinantoni-vavy, vadin’ i Finehasa, nanan’ anaka ka efa ho teraka; koa nony reny fa lasan-ko babo ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, sady maty avokoa ny rafozany sy ny vadiny, dia nitanondrika izy ka narary nihetsi-jaza, fa efa ho teraka.

Pea naʻe feitama hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ko e uaifi ʻo Finiasi, kuo kakato hono māhina ke fāʻele: pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ongoongo kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo pekia ʻa ʻene tamai ʻi he fono, mo hono husepāniti, naʻe punou hifo ʻe ia ia pea langā; he naʻe hoko leva ʻae langā kiate ia.

20 Ary rehefa nadiva hiala aina izy, dia niteny ireo vehivavy nitsangana teo anilany ka nanao taminy hoe: Aza matahotra, fa velon-dahy ianao. Fa tsy namaly na nihaino izany izy.

Pea feʻunga mo ʻene pekia, naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he kau fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate ia, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē; he kuo ke fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama. Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne lea, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ai.

21 Dia nataony hoe Ikaboda ny anaran’ ny zaza; fa hoy izy: Afaka ny voninahitry ny Isiraely, satria efa lasan-ko babo ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, sady efa maty koa ny rafozany sy ny vadiny.

Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae tama ko Ikapote, ko e pehē, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi kuo pekia ʻene tamai ʻi he fono mo hono uaifi.

22 Ary hoy izy: Afaka tamin’ ny Isiraely ny voninahitra, fa lasan-ko babo ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, Kuo mole ʻae nāunau mei ʻIsileli: he kuo moʻua ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua.
