Kings I 7

1 And the men of Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

Tedy přišli muži Kariatjeharim a vzali odtud truhlu Hospodinovu, a vnesli ji do domu Abinadabova na pahrbek, a Eleazara syna jeho posvětili, aby ostříhal truhly Hospodinovy.

2 And it came to pass from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.

Stalo se pak, že od toho času, jakž zůstala truhla v Kariatjeharim, když bylo přeběhlo mnoho dní, a byl již rok dvadcátý, teprv se roztoužil všecken dům Izraelský po Hospodinu.

3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

Nebo byl mluvil Samuel ke všemu domu Izraelskému, řka: Jestliže celým srdcem svým obracíte se k Hospodinu, odejměte bohy cizí z prostředku sebe i Astarota, a ustavte srdce své při Hospodinu, a služte jemu samému, a vysvobodí vás z ruky Filistinských.

4 And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.

A tak zavrhli synové Izraelští Bálim i Astarota, a sloužili Hospodinu samému.

5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.

Byl také řekl Samuel: Shromažďte všecken lid Izraelský do Masfa, a modliti se budu za vás Hospodinu.

6 And they were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.

I shromáždili se do Masfa, a vážíce vodu, vylévali před Hospodinem, a postíce se v ten den, řekli tam: Zhřešili jsme proti Hospodinu. A soudil Samuel syny Izraelské v Masfa.

7 And the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.

Uslyšavše pak Filistinští, že synové Izraelští shromáždili se do Masfa, vytáhla knížata Filistinská proti Izraelovi. Což když uslyšeli synové Izraelští, báli se příchodu Filistinských.

8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord your God for us, and he shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

Pročež řekli synové Izraelští Samuelovi: Nepřestávej volati za nás k Hospodinu Bohu našemu, aby nás vysvobodil z ruky Filistinských.

9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it up as a whole burnt offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.

Vzav tedy Samuel beránka jednoho, kterýž ještě ssal, obětoval ho celého v obět zápalnou Hospodinu. I modlil se Samuel Hospodinu za Izraele, a uslyšel jej Hospodin.

10 And Samuel was offering the whole burnt offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.

I bylo, že když Samuel obětoval obět zápalnou, Filistinští přiblížili se, aby bojovali proti Izraelovi, ale zahřměl Hospodin hřímáním náramným v ten den nad Filistinskými, a potřel je, i poraženi jsou před tváří Izraele.

11 And the men of Israel went forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.

Vytáhše pak muži Izraelští z Masfa, stihali Filistinské, a bili je až pod Betchar.

12 And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

Tehdy vzav Samuel kámen jeden, položil jej mezi Masfa a mezi Sen, a nazval jméno jeho Eben-Ezer; nebo řekl: Až potud pomáhal nám Hospodin.

13 So the Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

A tak sníženi jsou Filistinští, a netáhli více na pomezí Izraelské; a byla ruka Hospodinova proti Filistinským po všecky dny Samuelovy.

14 And the cities which the Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.

Navrácena jsou také města Izraelovi, kteráž byli Filistinští odtrhli od Izraele, počna od Akaron až do Gát; i pomezí jejich vysvobodil Izrael z ruky Filistinských. A byl pokoj mezi Izraelem a Amorejskými.

15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

I soudil Samuel Izraele po všecky dny života svého.

16 And he went year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated places.

A chodě každého roku, obcházel Bethel a Galgala i Masfa, a soudil Izraele na všech těch místech.

17 And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.

(Potom navracoval se do Ramata, nebo tam byl dům jeho, a tam soudil Izraele.) Tam také vzdělal oltář Hospodinu.
