1 Samuel 6
1 When the ark of the LORD had been in the land of the Philistines seven months,
I bijaše kovèeg Gospodnji u zemlji Filistejskoj sedam mjeseca.
2 the Philistines summoned the priests and diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how to send it back to its place.”
Tada dozvaše Filisteji sveštenike i vraèe, pa im rekoše: šta æemo èiniti s kovèegom Gospodnjim? nauèite nas kako æemo ga poslati natrag na njegovo mjesto.
3 They replied, “If you return the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away empty, but by all means return it to Him with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will understand why His hand has not been lifted from you.”
A oni rekoše: ako æete natrag poslati kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva, ne šaljite ga prazna, nego uza nj podajte prinos za grijeh; tada æete ozdraviti i doznaæete zašto se ruka njegova nije odmakla od vas.
4 “What guilt offering should we send back to Him?” asked the Philistines. “Five gold tumors and five gold rats,” they said, “according to the number of rulers of the Philistines, since the same plague has struck both you and your rulers.
A oni rekoše: kakav æemo mu dati prinos za grijeh? A oni rekoše: prema broju kneževina Filistejskih pet zlatnijeh šuljeva i pet zlatnijeh miševa; jer je zlo jednako na svjema vama i na knezovima vašim.
5 Make images of your tumors and of the rats that are ravaging the land. Give glory to the God of Israel, and perhaps He will lift His hand from you and your gods and your land.
Naèinite dakle slike od svojih šuljeva i slike od miševa koji kvare zemlju, i podajte slavu Bogu Izrailjevu. Može biti da æe ulakšati ruku svoju nad vama i nad bogovima vašim i nad zemljom vašom.
6 Why harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened theirs? When He afflicted them, did they not send the people on their way as they departed?
I zašto biste bili uporna srca kao što bijahu uporna srca Misirci i Faraon? i pošto uèini èudesa na njima, eda li ih tada ne pustiše, te otidoše?
7 Now, therefore, prepare one new cart with two milk cows that have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up.
Zato naèinite jedna kola nova, i uzmite dvije krave dojilice, na kojima još nije bio jaram, pa upregnite krave u kola, a telad njihovu odvedite od njih kuæi.
8 Take the ark of the LORD, set it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending Him as a guilt offering. Then send the ark on its way,
Pa uzmite kovèeg Gospodnji i metnite ga na kola; a zaklade zlatne što æete mu dati za grijeh metnite u kovèežiæ pokraj njega, i pustite ga neka ide.
9 but keep watching it. If it goes up the road to its homeland, toward Beth-shemesh, it is the LORD who has brought on us this great disaster. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not His hand that punished us and that it happened by chance.”
I gledajte: ako poðe putem k meði svojoj u Vet-Semes, on nam je uèinio ovo veliko zlo; ako li ne poðe tako, onda æemo znati da nas se nije dohvatila ruka njegova, nego nam se dogodilo sluèajno.
10 So the men did as instructed. They took two milk cows, hitched them to the cart, and penned up their calves.
I uèiniše tako oni ljudi; i uzevši dvije krave dojilice upregoše ih u kola, a telad njihovu zatvoriše kod kuæe.
11 Then they put the ark of the LORD on the cart, along with the chest containing the gold rats and the images of the tumors.
I metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji na kola, i mali kovèežiæ s mišima zlatnijem i sa slikama svojih šuljeva.
12 And the cows headed straight up the road toward Beth-shemesh, staying on that one highway and lowing as they went, never straying to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed behind them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
I poðoše krave pravo putem u Vet-Semes, i jednako iðahu istijem putem muèuæi i ne svræuæi ni nadesno ni nalijevo; a knezovi Filistejski iðahu za njima do meðe Vet-Semeske.
13 Now the people of Beth-shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they were overjoyed at the sight.
A Vet-Semešani žnjahu pšenicu u dolini, i podigavši oèi svoje vidješe kovèeg, i obradovaše se vidjevši ga.
14 The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there near a large rock. The people chopped up the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.
I doðoše kola na njivu Isusa Vet-Semešanina, i stadoše ondje. A bijaše ondje velik kamen; i iscjepaše drva od kola, i prinesoše one krave na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest containing the gold objects, and they placed them on the large rock. That day the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD.
A Leviti snimivši kovèeg Gospodnji i kovèežiæ što bješe pokraj njega, u kojem bijahu zakladi zlatni, metnuše na onaj veliki kamen; a ljudi iz Vet-Semesa gotoviše žrtve paljenice i prinosiše žrtve Gospodu onaj dan.
16 And when the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned to Ekron that same day.
A to vidjevši pet knezova Filistejskih vratiše se u Akaron isti dan.
17 As a guilt offering to the LORD, the Philistines had sent back one gold tumor for each city: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.
A ovo bjehu zlatni šuljevi koje dadoše Filisteji Gospodu za grijeh: za Azot jedan, za Gazu jedan, za Askalon jedan, za Gat jedan, za Akaron jedan.
18 The number of gold rats also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities belonging to the five rulers—the fortified cities and their outlying villages. And the large rock on which they placed the ark of the LORD stands to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.
I miši zlatni bjehu prema broju svijeh gradova Filistejskih, u pet kneževina, svijeh zidanijeh gradova i sela neograðenijeh do velikoga kamena, na koji metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji, i koji je i danas u polju Isusa Vet-Semešanina.
19 But God struck down some of the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the LORD. He struck down seventy men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck them with a great slaughter.
Ali pobi Gospod neke izmeðu Vet-Semešana koji zagledaše u kovèeg Gospodnji, i pobi iz naroda pedeset tisuæa i sedamdeset ljudi. I plaka narod što ga Gospod udari velikom pogiblju.
20 The men of Beth-shemesh asked, “Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? To whom should the ark go up from here?”
I ljudi iz Vet-Semesa rekoše: ko može ostati pred tijem Gospodom Bogom svetijem? i ka kome æe otiæi od nas?
21 So they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up with you.”
I poslaše poslanike k stanovnicima Kirijat-Jarimskim govoreæi: donesoše natrag Filisteji kovèeg Gospodnji, hodite, odnesite ga k sebi.
