1 Samweli 4 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

4 ¹Ijambo rya Samweli rigera kuri Isiraheli yose. Abisiraheli bagiye kurwanya Abafilisiti, bakambika i Ebenezeri; naho Abafilisiti bakambika i Afeki.

²Abafilisiti bahanganye n'Abisiraheli; urugamba rurakaza, Abisiraheli batsindwa n'Abafilisiti, babicamo abagabo nk'ibihumbi bine mu rwuri. ³Ingabo zisubiye mu nkambi, abakuru b'Abisiraheli babaza bati: “Kuki Data wa twese yemeye Abafilisiti kudutsinda uyu munsi? Reka tuzane Isanduku y'Isezerano rya Data wa twese ivuye i Shilo, kugira ngo aze hagati yacu adukize abanzi bacu.”

⁴Nuko abantu batumira i Shilo, bazana Isanduku y'Isezerano rya Data wa twese Nyiringabo, wicaye hejuru y'abakerubi. Abana babiri ba Eli, Hofuni na Finehasi, na bo bari aho hamwe n'Isanduku y'Isezerano rya Data wa twese. ⁵Isanduku y'Isezerano rya Data wa twese igeze mu nkambi, Abisiraheli bose batera hejuru baranguruye amajwi ku buryo isi yatigita. ⁶Abafilisiti bumvise induru barabaza bati: “Iyi nduru nini mu nkambi y'Abaheburayi ni iy'iki?” Nuko bamenya ko Isanduku ya Data wa twese yinjiye mu nkambi. ⁷Abafilisiti baratinya, kuko bavugaga bati: “Imana yinjiye mu nkambi!” Barongera baravuga bati: “Turarimbutse, ibi ntibyigeze bibaho mbere. ⁸Turarimbutse! Ni nde uzadukiza ukuboko kw'izi mana z'imbaraga? Ni zo mana zacumbagije Abanyamisiri ibyago byose mu butayu. ⁹Nimugire imbaraga, yemwe Bafilisiti! Mube abagabo; bitabaye bityo muzakorera Abaheburayi nk'uko na bo babakoreye. Mube abagabo, murwane!” ¹⁰Abafilisiti bararwana; Abisiraheli baratsindwa, buri wese ahungira mu ihema rye. Icyorezo cyari kinini cyane: hagwa ingabo z'Abisiraheli z'amaguru ibihumbi mirongo itatu. ¹¹Isanduku ya Data wa twese iranyagwa, n'abahungu bombi ba Eli, ari bo Hofuni na Finehasi, barapfa.

Eli Aragwa kandi Icyubahiro Kirigendera

¹²Umubenyamini avuye ku rugamba yiruka ajya i Shilo uwo munsi, imyenda ye icitse, umukungugu ku mutwe we. ^a a v12 Gucamo imyenda no gushyira umukungugu ku mutwe byari ibimenyetso bya kera by'agahinda kenshi n'icyunamo. ¹³Agezeyo, Eli yari yicaye ku ntebe ye iruhande rw'umuhanda ategereje inzira, ahinda umushyitsi mu mutima ku bw'Isanduku ya Data wa twese. Nuko uwo mugabo yinjira mu mujyi abitekerereza, maze abantu bose bo mu mujyi batera hejuru. ¹⁴Eli yumvise induru arabaza ati: “Uyu mudugararo ni uw'iki?” Nuko uwo mugabo yihutira kuza, abitekerereza Eli.

¹⁵Eli yari afite imyaka mirongo cyenda n'umunani, kandi amaso ye yari yahumye ku buryo atakibona. ¹⁶Uwo mugabo abwira Eli ati: “Mvuye ku rugamba, mpunze ku rugamba uyu munsi.” Eli aramubaza ati: “Byagenze bite, mwana wanjye?”

¹⁷Uwo mubutsi arasubiza ati: “Abisiraheli bahunze imbere y'Abafilisiti; kandi habaye abishwe benshi mu ngabo; ndetse abahungu bawe bombi Hofuni na Finehasi barapfuye; n'Isanduku ya Data wa twese iranyazwe.”

¹⁸Akivuga ibya Isanduku ya Data wa twese, Eli yikubita hasi acuranduka avuye ku ntebe ye iruhande rw'irembo, amena ijosi, arapfa, kuko yari ashaje kandi aremerewe. Yari amaze imyaka mirongo ine ari umucamanza w'Abisiraheli.

¹⁹Umukazana we, muka Finehasi, yari atwite, agiye kubyara. Yumvise ko Isanduku ya Data wa twese inyazwe, n'uko sebukwe n'umugabo we bapfuye, arunama arabyara, kuko ibise byari byamurenze. ²⁰Uko yari aryamye apfa, abagore bari iruhande rwe baramubwira bati: “Ntugire ubwoba, kuko wabyaye umuhungu.” Ariko ntiyasubiza cyangwa ngo abyiteho. ²¹Yita uwo mwana Ikabodi, avuga ati: “Icyubahiro cyavuye muri Isiraheli,” ku bw'uko Isanduku ya Data wa twese yanyazwe, na sebukwe, n'umugabo we. ^b b v21 Izina Ikabodi risobanura ngo “nta cyubahiro gisigaye” — ikaba ari induru ya nyina ko icyubahiro cya Data wa twese cyavuye muri Isiraheli hamwe na Isanduku. ²²Aravuga ati: “Icyubahiro cyavuye muri Isiraheli, kuko Isanduku ya Data wa twese yanyazwe.”
