1. And the men of Kir'iath-je'arim came and took up the ark of the LORD, and brought it to the house of Abin'adab on the hill; and they consecrated his son, Elea'zar, to have charge of the ark of the LORD.

2. Et factum est, ex qua die mansit arca Domini in Cariathiarim, multiplicati sunt dies; erat quippe iam annus vicesimus, et ingemuit omnis domus Israel post Dominum.

2. From the day that the ark was lodged at Kir'iath-je'arim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3. Ait autem Samuel ad universam domum Israel dicens: “Si in toto corde vestro revertimini ad Dominum, auferte deos alienos de medio vestri et Astharoth et praeparate corda vestra Domino et servite ei soli, et eruet vos de manu Philisthim”.

3. Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ash'taroth from among you, and direct your heart to the LORD, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."

5. Dixit autem Samuel: “Congregate universum Israel in Maspha, ut orem pro vobis Dominum”.

5. Then Samuel said, "Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."

6. Et convenerunt in Maspha hauseruntque aquam et effuderunt in conspectu Domini et ieiunaverunt in die illa et dixerunt ibi: “Peccavimus Domino”. Iudicavitque Samuel filios Israel in Maspha.

6. So they gathered at Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.

7. Et audierunt Philisthim quod congregati essent filii Israel in Maspha, et ascenderunt principes Philisthinorum ad Israel. Quod cum audissent filii Israel, timuerunt a facie Philisthinorum

7. Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it they were afraid of the Philistines.

8. dixeruntque ad Samuel: “Ne cesses pro nobis clamare ad Dominum Deum nostrum, ut salvet nos de manu Philisthinorum”.

8. And the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

9. Tulit ergo Samuel agnum lactantem unum et obtulit illum holocaustum integrum Domino; et clamavit Samuel ad Dominum pro Israel, et exaudivit eum Dominus.

9. So Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

10. Factum est autem cum Samuel offerret holocaustum, Philisthim iniere proelium contra Israel. Intonuit autem Dominus fragore magno in die illa super Philisthim et exterruit eos, et caesi sunt a facie Israel.

10. As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel; but the LORD thundered with a mighty voice that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion; and they were routed before Israel.

11. Egressique viri Israel de Maspha persecuti sunt Philisthaeos et percusserunt eos usque ad locum, qui erat subter Bethchar.

11. And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

12. Tulit autem Samuel lapidem unum et posuit eum inter Maspha et inter Sen et vocavit nomen loci illius Abenezer (id est Lapis adiutorii) dixitque: “Hucusque auxiliatus est nobis Dominus”.

12. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jesha'nah, and called its name Ebene'zer; for he said, "Hitherto the LORD has helped us."

13. Et humiliati sunt Philisthim nec apposuerunt ultra ut venirent in terminos Israel. Facta est itaque manus Domini super Philisthaeos cunctis diebus Samuel.

13. So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14. Et redditae sunt urbes, quas tulerant Philisthim ab Israel, Israeli ab Accaron usque Geth; et terminos earum liberavit Israel de manu Philisthinorum. Eratque pax inter Israel et Amorraeum.

16. et ibat per singulos annos circumiens Bethel et Galgala et Maspha et iudicabat Israelem in supradictis locis. Revertebaturque in Rama; ibi enim erat domus eius, et ibi iudicabat Israelem. Aedificavit etiam ibi altare Domino.

16. And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all these places.

17.
