사무엘상 7

1기럇여아림 사람들이 와서 여호와의 궤를 옮겨 산에 사는 아비나답의 집에 들여 놓고 그 아들 엘리아살을 거룩히 구별하여 여호와의 궤를 지키게 하였더니 2궤가 기럇여아림에 들어간 날부터 이십 년 동안을 오래 있은지라 이스라엘 온 족속이 여호와를 사모하니라 3사무엘이 이스라엘 온 족속에게 일러 가로되 너희가 전심으로 여호와께 돌아오려거든 이방 신들과 아스다롯을 너희 중에서 제하고 너희 마음을 여호와께로 향하여 그만 섬기라 너희를 블레셋 사람의 손에서 건져내시리라 4이에 이스라엘 자손이 바알들과 아스다롯을 제하고 여호와만 섬기니라 5사무엘이 가로되 온 이스라엘은 미스바로 모이라 내가 너희를 위하여 여호와께 기도하리라 하매 6그들이 미스바에 모여 물을 길어 여호와 앞에 붓고 그 날에 금식하고 거기서 가로되 우리가 여호와께 범죄하였나이다 하니라 사무엘이 미스바에서 이스라엘 자손을 다스리니라 7이스라엘 자손이 미스바에 모였다 함을 블레셋 사람이 듣고 그 방백들이 이스라엘을 치러 올라온지라 이스라엘 자손이 듣고 블레셋 사람을 두려워하여 8사무엘에게 이르되 당신은 우리를 위하여 우리 하나님 여호와께 쉬지 말고 부르짖어 우리를 블레셋 사람의 손에서 구원하시게 하소서 9사무엘이 젖 먹는 어린 양을 취하여 온전한 번제를 여호와께 드리고 이스라엘을 위하여 여호와께 부르짖으매 여호와께서 응답하셨더라 10사무엘이 번제를 드릴 때에 블레셋 사람이 이스라엘과 싸우려고 가까이 오매 그 날에 여호와께서 블레셋 사람에게 큰 우뢰를 발하여 그들을 어지럽게 하시니 그들이 이스라엘 앞에 패한지라 11이스라엘 사람들이 미스바에서 나가서 블레셋 사람을 따라 벧갈 아래에 이르기까지 쳤더라 12사무엘이 돌을 취하여 미스바와 센 사이에 세워 가로되 여호와께서 여기까지 우리를 도우셨다 하고 그이름을 에벤에셀이라 하니라 13이에 블레셋 사람이 굴복하여 다시는 이스라엘 경내에 들어오지 못하였으며 여호와의 손이 사무엘의 사는 날 동안에 블레셋 사람을 막으시매 14블레셋 사람이 이스라엘에게서 빼앗았던 성읍이 에그론부터 가드까지 이스라엘에게 회복되니 이스라엘이 그 사방 지경을 블레셋 사람의 손에서 도로 찾았고 또 이스라엘과 아모리 사람 사이에 평화가 있었더라 15사무엘이 사는 날 동안에 이스라엘을 다스렸으되 16해마다 벧엘과 길갈과 미스바로 순회하여 그 모든 곳에서 이스라엘을 다스렸고 17라마로 돌아왔으니 이는 거기 자기 집이 있음이라 거기서도 이스라엘을 다스렸으며 또 거기 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓았더라

1The men of Kiriath Jearim came, and took Yahweh’s ark, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep Yahweh’s ark. 2From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh. 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.” 4Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only. 5Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Yahweh.” 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. 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. 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.” 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. 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. 11The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came under Beth Kar. 12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.” 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. 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. 15Samuel 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. 17His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to Yahweh.

1Toen kwamen de mannen van Kirjath-Jearim, en haalden de ark des HEEREN op, en zij brachten ze in het huis van Abinadab, op den heuvel; en zij heiligden zijn zoon Eleazar, dat hij de ark des HEEREN bewaarde. 2En het geschiedde, van dien dag af, dat de ark des Heeren te Kirjath-Jearim bleef, en de dagen werden twintig jaren; en het ganse huis van Israel klaagde den HEERE achterna. 3Toen sprak Samuel tot het ganse huis van Israel, zeggende: Indien gijlieden u met uw ganse hart tot den HEERE bekeert, zo doet de vreemde goden uit het midden van u weg, ook de Astharoths; en richt uw hart tot den HEERE, en dient Hem alleen, zo zal Hij u uit de hand der Filistijnen rukken. 4De kinderen Israels nu deden de Baals en de Astharoths weg, en zij dienden den HEERE alleen. 5Verder zeide Samuel: Vergadert het ganse Israel naar Mizpa, en ik zal den HEERE voor u bidden. 6En zij werden vergaderd te Mizpa, en zij schepten water, en goten het uit voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; en zij vastten te dien dage, en zeiden aldaar: Wij hebben tegen den HEERE gezondigd. Alzo richtte Samuel de kinderen Israels te Mizpa. 7Toen de Filistijnen hoorden, dat de kinderen Israels zich vergaderd hadden te Mizpa, zo kwamen de oversten der Filistijnen op tegen Israel. Als de kinderen Israels dat hoorden, zo vreesden zij voor het aangezicht der Filistijnen. 8En de kinderen Israels zeiden tot Samuel: Zwijg niet van onzentwege, dat gij niet zoudt roepen tot den HEERE, onzen God, opdat Hij ons verlosse uit de hand der Filistijnen. 9Toen nam Samuel een melklam, en hij offerde het geheel den HEERE ten brandoffer; en Samuel riep tot den HEERE voor Israel; en de HEERE verhoorde hem. 10En het geschiedde, toen Samuel dat brandoffer offerde, zo kwamen de Filistijnen aan ten strijde tegen Israel; en de HEERE donderde te dien dage met een groten donder over de Filistijnen, en Hij verschrikte hen, zodat zij verslagen werden voor het aangezicht van Israel. 11En de mannen van Israel togen uit van Mizpa, en vervolgden de Filistijnen, en zij sloegen hen tot onder Beth-kar. 12Samuel nu nam een steen, en stelde dien tussen Mizpa en tussen Sen, en hij noemde diens naam Eben-Haezer; en hij zeide: Tot hiertoe heeft de HEERE ons geholpen. 13Alzo werden de Filistijnen vernederd, en kwamen niet meer in de landpalen van Israel; want de hand des HEEREN was tegen de Filistijnen al de dagen van Samuel. 14En de steden, welke de Filistijnen van Israel genomen hadden kwamen weder aan Israel, van Ekron tot Gath toe; ook rukte Israel derzelver landpale uit de hand der Filistijnen; en er was vrede tussen Israel en tussen de Amorieten. 15Samuel nu richtte Israel al de dagen zijns levens. 16En hij toog van jaar tot jaar, en ging rondom naar Beth-El, en Gilgal, en Mizpa; en hij richtte Israel in al die plaatsen. 17Doch hij keerde weder naar Rama; want daar was zijn huis, en daar richtte hij Israel; en hij bouwde aldaar den HEERE een altaar.
