1 Samuel 6
1 The LORD’s ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Gospodova skrinja je bila v filistejski deželi sedem mesecev.
2 The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”
Filistejci so dali poklicati duhovnike in vedeževalce, rekoč: »Kaj naj storimo z Gospodovo skrinjo? Povejte nam, s čim naj jo pošljemo na njen kraj?«
3 They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”
Rekli so: »Če odpošljete skrinjo Izraelovega Boga, je ne pošljite prazne; temveč mu na vsak način vrnite daritev za prestopek. Potem boste ozdravljeni in znano vam bo zakaj njegova roka ni odstranjena od vas.«
4 Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?” They said, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
Potem so rekli: »Kakšna naj bo daritev za prestopek, ki mu jo bomo vrnili?« Odgovorili so: »Pet zlatih hemoroídov in pet zlatih miši, glede na število filistejskih knezov, kajti ena nadloga je bila na vas vseh in na vaših gospodarjih.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
Zato boste naredili podobe vaših tvorov in podobe vaših miši, ki uničujejo deželo in dali boste slavo Izraelovemu Bogu. Morda bo olajšal svojo roko iznad vas in iznad vaših bogov in iznad vaše dežele.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, did not they let the people go, and they departed?
Zakaj bi torej zakrknili svoja srca, kakor so Egipčani in faraon zakrknili svoja srca? Ko je izvrstno delal med njimi, ali niso pustili ljudstva iti in so odpotovali?
7 “Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart and two milk cows on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
Zdaj torej naredite nov voz in vzemite dve doječi kravi, na kateri jarem ni prišel in kravi privežite k vozu, njuna telička pa od njiju odvedite domov
8 and take the LORD’s ark and lay it on the cart. Put the jewels of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
in vzemite Gospodovo skrinjo in jo položite na voz in položite dragocenosti iz zlata, ki mu jih vračate za daritev za prestopek, v skrinjico ob njeni strani in pošljite jo proč, da bo ta lahko odšla.
9 Behold, if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us. It was a chance that happened to us.”
Glejte, če gre ta gor po poti svojega lastnega območja v Bet Šemeš, potem nam je on storil to veliko zlo, toda če ne, potem bomo vedeli, da to ni njegova roka, ki nas je udarila; to je bilo naključje, ki se nam je pripetilo.«
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Ljudje so tako storili. Vzeli so dve doječi kravi ter ju privezali k vozu, njuni teleti pa zaprli doma.
11 They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors.
Gospodovo skrinjo so položili na voz in skrinjico z mišmi iz zlata in podobami svojih hemoroídov.
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh. They went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn away to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
Kravi sta šli naravnost na pot Bet Šemeša in šli sta vzdolž glavne ceste, mukajoč, medtem ko sta hodili in nista se obračali vstran ne na desno roko ne na levo in filistejski knezi so šli za njima do meje Bet Šemeša.
13 The people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Tisti iz Bet Šemeša so v dolini želi svojo pšenično žetev in povzdignili so svoje oči in zagledali skrinjo in se razveselili, da jo vidijo.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. Then they split the wood of the cart and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Voz je prišel na polje Bétšémeščana Jošúa in obstal tam, kjer je bil velik kamen in nacepili so les od voza in kravi darovali v žgalno daritev Gospodu.
15 The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
Lévijevci so sneli Gospodovo skrinjo in skrinjico, ki je bila z njo, v kateri so bile dragocenosti iz zlata in ju položili na velik kamen in možje iz Bet Šemeša so isti dan Gospodu darovali žgalne daritve in žrtvovali klavne daritve.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
Ko je pet filistejskih knezov to videlo, so se istega dne vrnili v Ekrón.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
To pa so zlati hemoroídi, ki so jih Filistejci vrnili Gospodu za daritev za prestopek: enega za Ašdód, enega za Gazo, enega za Aškelón, enega za Gat, enega za Ekrón;
18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
in zlate miši glede na število vseh filistejskih mest, pripadajočih petim knezom, tako utrjenih mest kakor podeželskih vasi, celo do velikega Abelovega kamna, na katerega so položili Gospodovo skrinjo; katerega kamen ostaja na polju Bétšémeščana Jošúa do današnjega dne.
19 He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Udaril pa je može iz Bet Šemeša, ker so gledali v Gospodovo skrinjo, torej izmed ljudstva je udaril petdeset tisoč in sedemdeset mož in ljudstvo je žalovalo, ker je Gospod z velikim pokolom udaril mnoge izmed ljudstva.
20 The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom shall he go up from us?”
Možje iz Bet Šemeša so rekli: »Kdo je zmožen stati pred tem svetim Gospodom Bogom? In h komu naj gre gor od nas?«
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.”
Poslali so poslance k prebivalcem Kirját Jearíma, rekoč: »Filistejci so ponovno privedli Gospodovo skrinjo. Pridite dol in jo prenesite gor k sebi.«
