1 Samuel 4
1 Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.
egressus est namque Israhel obviam Philisthim in proelium et castrametatus est iuxta lapidem Adiutorii porro Philisthim venerunt in Afec
2 And the Philistines put their forces in order against Israel, and the fighting was hard, and Israel was overcome by the Philistines, who put to the sword about four thousand of their army in the field.
et instruxerunt aciem contra Israhel inito autem certamine terga vertit Israhel Philistheis et caesa sunt in illo certamine passim per agros quasi quattuor milia virorum
3 And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.
et reversus est populus ad castra dixeruntque maiores natu de Israhel quare percussit nos Dominus hodie coram Philisthim adferamus ad nos de Silo arcam foederis Domini et veniat in medium nostri ut salvet nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum
4 So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.
misit ergo populus in Silo et tulerunt inde arcam foederis Domini exercituum sedentis super cherubin erantque duo filii Heli cum arca foederis Domini Ofni et Finees
5 And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.
cumque venisset arca foederis Domini in castra vociferatus est omnis Israhel clamore grandi et personuit terra
6 And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.
et audierunt Philisthim vocem clamoris dixeruntque quaenam haec est vox clamoris magni in castris Hebraeorum et cognoverunt quod arca Domini venisset in castra
7 And the Philistines, full of fear, said, God has come into their tents. And they said, Trouble is ours! for never before has such a thing been seen.
timueruntque Philisthim dicentes venit Deus in castra et ingemuerunt
8 Trouble is ours! Who will give us salvation from the hands of these great gods? These are the gods who sent all sorts of blows on the Egyptians in the waste land.
vae nobis non enim fuit tanta exultatio heri et nudius tertius vae nobis quis nos servabit de manu deorum sublimium istorum hii sunt dii qui percusserunt Aegyptum omni plaga in deserto
9 Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.
confortamini et estote viri Philisthim ne serviatis Hebraeis sicut illi servierunt vobis confortamini et bellate
10 So the Philistines went to the fight, and Israel was overcome, and every man went in flight to his tent: and great was the destruction, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel were put to the sword.
pugnaverunt ergo Philisthim et caesus est Israhel et fugit unusquisque in tabernaculum suum et facta est plaga magna nimis et ceciderunt de Israhel triginta milia peditum
11 And the ark of God was taken; and Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli, were put to the sword.
et arca Dei capta est duoque filii Heli mortui sunt Ofni et Finees
12 And a man of Benjamin went running from the fight and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothing out of order and earth on his head.
currens autem vir de Beniamin ex acie venit in Silo in die illo scissa veste et conspersus pulvere caput
13 And when he came, Eli was seated by the wayside watching: and in his heart was fear for the ark of God. And when the man came into the town and gave the news, there was a great outcry.
cumque ille venisset Heli sedebat super sellam contra viam aspectans erat enim cor eius pavens pro arca Domini vir autem ille postquam ingressus est nuntiavit urbi et ululavit omnis civitas
14 And Eli, hearing the noise and the cries, said, What is the reason of this outcry? And the man came quickly and gave the news to Eli.
et audivit Heli sonitum clamoris dixitque quis est hic sonitus tumultus huius at ille festinavit et venit et adnuntiavit Heli
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed so that he was not able to see.
Heli autem erat nonaginta et octo annorum et oculi eius caligaverant et videre non poterat
16 And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?
et dixit ad Heli ego sum qui veni de proelio et ego qui de acie fugi hodie cui ille ait quid actum est fili mi
17 And the man said, Israel went in flight from the Philistines, and there has been great destruction among the people, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken.
respondens autem qui nuntiabat fugit inquit Israhel coram Philisthim et ruina magna facta est in populo insuper et duo filii tui mortui sunt Ofni et Finees et arca Dei capta est
18 And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.
cumque ille nominasset arcam Dei cecidit de sella retrorsum iuxta ostium et fractis cervicibus mortuus est senex enim erat vir et grandevus et ipse iudicavit Israhel quadraginta annis
19 And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and near the time when she would give birth; and when she had the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, her pains came on her suddenly and she gave birth.
nurus autem eius uxor Finees praegnans erat vicinaque partui et audito nuntio quod capta esset arca Dei et mortuus socer suus et vir suus incurvavit se et peperit inruerant enim in eam dolores subiti
20 And when she was very near death the women who were with her said, Have no fear, for you have given birth to a son. But she made no answer and gave no attention to it.
in ipso autem momento mortis eius dixerunt ei quae stabant circa eam ne timeas quia filium peperisti quae non respondit eis neque animadvertit
21 And she gave the child the name of Ichabod, saying, The glory has gone from Israel: because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
et vocavit puerum Hicabod dicens translata est gloria de Israhel quia capta est arca Dei et pro socero suo et pro viro suo
22 And she said, The glory is gone from Israel, for the ark of God has been taken.
et ait translata est gloria ab Israhel eo quod capta esset arca Dei
