1 Samuel 6
1 When the ark of the LORD had been in the land of the Philistines seven months,
Gospodova skrinja je bila v filistejski deželi sedem mesecev.
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.”
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 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.”
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 “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.
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 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.
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 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?
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, 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.
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 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,
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 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.”
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 So the men did as instructed. They took two milk cows, hitched them to the cart, and penned up their calves.
Ljudje so tako storili. Vzeli so dve doječi kravi ter ju privezali k vozu, njuni teleti pa zaprli doma.
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.
Gospodovo skrinjo so položili na voz in skrinjico z mišmi iz zlata in podobami svojih hemoroídov.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And when the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned to Ekron that same day.
Ko je pet filistejskih knezov to videlo, so se istega dne vrnili v Ekrón.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 asked, “Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? To whom should the ark go up from here?”
Možje iz Bet Šemeša so rekli: »Kdo je zmožen stati pred tem svetim Gospodom Bogom? In h komu naj gre gor 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.”
Poslali so poslance k prebivalcem Kirját Jearíma, rekoč: »Filistejci so ponovno privedli Gospodovo skrinjo. Pridite dol in jo prenesite gor k sebi.«
