1 Samuel 7

1 Enti, Kiriat-Yearimfoɔ bɛgyee Awurade Apam Adaka no. Wɔde kɔɔ Abinadab efie a ɛda bepɔ nkyɛn baabi. Ɛhɔ na wɔdwiraa ne babarima Eleasa sɛ ɔnhwɛ so.

Therfor men of Cariathiarym camen, and ledden ayen the arke of the Lord, and brouyten it in to the hows of Amynadab in Gabaa. Sotheli thei halewiden Eleazar his sone, that he schulde kepe the ark of the Lord.

2 Apam Adaka no kyɛree yie wɔ Kiriat-Yearim. Ɛdii mfirinhyia aduonu wɔ hɔ. Saa ɛberɛ no Israel nyinaa twaa agyaadwoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ na ayɛ sɛ Awurade agya wɔn.

And it was doon, fro which dai `the arke of the Lord dwellide in Caryathiarym, daies weren multiplied; for the twentithe yeer was now, after that Samuel bigan to teche the puple; and al Israel restide aftir the Lord.

3 Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, “Sɛ mode mo akoma nyinaa resane akɔ Awurade nkyɛn deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, montwe mo ho mfiri ananafoɔ anyame ne Astoret ahoni ho. Monsi mo adwene pi sɛ mobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama Awurade, na monsom ɔno nko, na ɔbɛgye mo afiri Filistifoɔ nsam.”

Forsothe Samuel spak to al the hows of Israel, and seide, If in al youre herte ye turnen ayen to the Lord, do ye awei alien goddis, Balym and Astaroth, fro the myddis of you; and make ye redi youre hertis to the Lord, and serue ye hym aloone; and he schal delyuere you fro the hond of Filisteis.

4 Enti, Israelfoɔ no too Baalim ne Astoret guiɛ, somm Awurade nko.

Therfor the sones of Israel diden awey Baalym and Astoroth, and serueden the Lord aloone.

5 Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Mo nyinaa mommra Mispa, na memmɔ Awurade mpaeɛ mma mo.”

Forsothe Samuel seide, Gadere ye al Israel in to Masphat, that Y preie the Lord for you.

6 Enti, wɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ. Na wɔn nyankomadeɛ mu no, wɔsaa nsuo firi abura bi mu, na wɔhwie guu Awurade anim. Wɔdii abuada ɛda no, na wɔkaa nokorɛ sɛ wɔayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Enti, Mispa hɔ na Samuel bɛyɛɛ Israel so ɔtemmufoɔ.

And thei camen togidere in to Masphat, and thei drowen watir, and shedden out in the `siyt of the Lord; and thei fastiden in that day, and seiden, Lord, we synneden to thee. And Samuel demyde the sones of Israel in Masphat.

7 Ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ sodifoɔ no tee sɛ Israel nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Mispa no, wɔboaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano, tu teneeɛ. Na Israelfoɔ no tee sɛ Filistifoɔ no rebɛn wɔn no, wɔn akoma tuu yie.

And Filisteis herden that the sones of Israel weren gaderid in Masphat; and the princes of Filisteis stieden to Israel. And whanne the sones of Israel hadden herd this, thei dredden of the face of Filisteis.

8 Wɔdwane toaa Samuel sɛ, “Srɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, na ɔnnye yɛn mfiri Filistifoɔ nsam.”

And `thei seiden to Samuel, Ceesse thou not to crye for vs to oure Lord God, that he saue vs fro the `hoond of Filisteis.

9 Enti, Samuel faa odwan ba a ɔnyiniiɛ de ne mua no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Ɔsrɛɛ Awurade maa Israelfoɔ, na Awurade tieeɛ.

Forsothe Samuel took o soukynge lomb, and offride that hool in to brent sacrifice to the Lord. And Samuel criede to the Lord for Israel; and the Lord herde hym.

10 Ɛberɛ a Samuel gu so rebɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, Filistifoɔ no baa sɛ wɔrebɛko. Nanso, Awurade de aprannaa nne a emu yɛ duru yie kasa firi soro, maa basabasayɛ sii Filistifoɔ no mu, maa Israelfoɔ no dii wɔn so nkonim.

Forsothe it was doon, whanne Samuel offryde brent sacrifice, that Filisteis bigunnen batel ayens Israel. Sotheli the Lord thundride with greet thundur in that dai on Filisteis, and made hem aferd; and thei weren slayn of the sones of Israel.

11 Israel mmarima pamoo wɔn firi Mispa, kɔsii Bet-Kar, kunkumm wɔn guu ɛkwan so.

And the sones of Israel yeden out of Masphat, and pursueden Filisteis, and smytiden hem `til to the place that was vndur Bethachar.

12 Ɛnna Samuel faa ɔboɔ kɛseɛ bi de sii Mispa ne Sen ntam. Na ɔtoo no edin Ebeneser a aseɛ ne “Ɔboa boɔ” na ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛha na Awurade aboa yɛn abɛsi!”

Forsothe Samuel took o stoon, and puttide it bitwixe Masphat, and bitwixe Sen; and he clepide the name of that place The stoon of help. And he seide, Hidir to the Lord helpide vs.

13 Enti, wɔdii Filistifoɔ no so, na wɔantumi ammɛgye Israelfoɔ nsase amfa wɔ ɛberɛ tenten bi mu. Na Samuel nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Awurade nsa a ɛyɛ den no tiaa Filistifoɔ.

And Filisteis weren maad low, and addiden no more to come in to the termes of Israel. And so the `hond of the Lord was maad on Filisteis in alle the daies of Samuel.

14 Na Israel nkuro a ɛbɛn Ekron ne Gat no a na Filistifoɔ no agyegye no. Wɔde asase a aka a Filistifoɔ no agyegyeɛ no kaa ho. Ɛmaa asomdwoeɛ baa Israel ne Amorifoɔ ntam saa ɛberɛ no.

And the citees whiche the Filisteis token fro Israel, weren yoldun to Israel, fro Accaron `til to Geth and `hise termes; and the Lord delyuerede Israel fro the hond of Filisteis; and pees was bitwixe Israel and Ammorrey.

15 Samuel kɔɔ so yɛɛ Israel so ɔtemmufoɔ ne nkwa nna a aka nyinaa.

Also Samuel demyde Israel in alle the daies of his lijf, that is, `til to the ordeynyng `and confermyng of Saul;

16 Afe biara, na ɔtu kwan kyinkyini bu atɛn wɔ nʼasɛnniiɛ. Ɔfiri aseɛ wɔ Bet-El de kɔ Gilgal na wawie wɔ Mispa. Ɔbuu Israelfoɔ atɛn wɔ saa nkurotoɔ yi biara so.

and he yede bi `alle yeeris, and cumpasside Bethel, and Galgal, and Masphat, and he demyde Israel in the forseid places.

17 Afei, na ɔsane ba ne kurom Rama bɛdi nsɛm wɔ hɔ nso. Na Samuel sii afɔrebukyia wɔ Rama de maa Awurade.

And he turnede ayen in to Ramatha, for his hows was there; and he demyde Israel there, and he bildide there also an auter to the Lord.
