1 Samuel 4
1 And it happened that, in those days, the Philistines assembled to fight. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and he made camp beside the Stone of Assistance. But the Philistines went to Aphek,
I što reèe Samuilo, zbi se svemu Izrailju. Jer Izrailj izide na vojsku na Filisteje, i stadoše u oko kod Even-Ezera, a Filisteji stadoše u oko u Afeku.
2 and they positioned their troops against Israel. Then, when the conflict began, Israel turned his back to the Philistines. And they were cut down in that conflict, in various places in the fields, about four thousand men.
A Filisteji se uvrstaše prema Izrailju, i kad se otvori boj, razbiše Filisteji Izrailja, i izgibe ih u boju u polju oko èetiri tisuæe ljudi.
3 And the people returned to the camp. And those greater by birth of Israel said: “Why has the Lord struck us today before the Philistines? Let us bring to ourselves the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Shiloh. And let it enter into our midst, so that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.”
I kad narod doðe u oko, rekoše starješine Izrailjeve: zašto nas danas razbi Gospod pred Filistejima? da donesemo iz Siloma kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, da bude meðu nama i izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših.
4 Therefore, the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, sitting upon the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
I narod posla u Silom da donesu odande kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda nad vojskama, koji sjedi na heruvimima; a bijahu ondje kod kovèega zavjeta Gospodnjega dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the camp, all of Israel shouted with a great clamor, and the land resounded.
A kad doðe kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega u oko, povika sav Izrailj od radosti da zemlja zajeèa.
6 And the Philistines heard the voice of the clamor, and they said, “What is this voice of a great clamor in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they realized that the ark of the Lord had arrived in the camp.
A Filisteji èuvši veselu viku rekoše: kakva je to vika vesela u okolu Jevrejskom? I razumješe da je došao kovèeg Gospodnji u oko njihov.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying, “God has entered into the camp.” And they groaned, saying:
I uplašiše se Filisteji kad rekoše: Bog je došao u oko. I govorahu: teško nama! jer to nije bivalo prije.
8 “Woe to us! For there was no such great exultation yesterday, or the day before. Woe to us! Who will save us from the hand of these sublime gods? These are the gods who struck Egypt with all the plagues, in the desert.”
Teško nama! ko æe nas izbaviti iz ruku tijeh silnijeh bogova? to su bogovi što pobiše Misirce u pustinji svakojakim mukama.
9 “Be strengthened, and be manly, O Philistines! Otherwise, you may serve the Hebrews, as they also have served you. Be strengthened and wage war!”
Ohrabrite se, i budite ljudi, o Filisteji! da ne služite Jevrejima kao što su oni vama služili; budite ljudi, i udrite.
10 Therefore, the Philistines fought, and Israel was cut down, and each one fled to his own tent. And an exceedingly great slaughter occurred. And thirty thousand foot soldiers from Israel fell.
I Filisteji udariše, i Izrailjci se opet razbiše i pobjegoše k šatorima svojim; i boj bješe vrlo velik, jer pade iz Izrailja trideset tisuæa pješaka.
11 And the ark of God was captured. Also, the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
I kovèeg Božji bi otet, i dva sina Ilijeva Ofnije i Fines pogiboše.
12 Now a man of Benjamin, rushing from the troops, arrived at Shiloh on the same day, with his clothing torn, and with his head sprinkled with dust.
A jedan izmeðu sinova Venijaminovih pobježe iz boja, i doðe u Silom isti dan razdrtijeh haljina i glave posute prahom.
13 And when he had arrived, Eli was sitting on a seat opposite the way, gazing out. For his heart was fearful on behalf of the ark of God. Then, after this man entered the city, he announced it to the city. And the entire city wailed.
I kad doðe, gle, Ilije sjeðaše na stolici ukraj puta pogledajuæi; jer srce njegovo bijaše u strahu za kovèeg Božji. I došav onaj èovjek u grad kaza glase, i stade vika svega grada.
14 And Eli heard the sound of the outcry, and he said, “What is this sound, this tumult?” And the man hurried, and he went and announced it to Eli.
A Ilije èuvši viku reèe: kakva je to vreva? I èovjek brže dotrèa da javi Iliju.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had dimmed, so that he was not able to see.
A Iliju bijaše devedeset i osam godina, i oèi mu bijahu potamnjele, te ne mogaše vidjeti.
16 And he said to Eli: “I am the one who came from the battle. And it is I who fled from the troops today.” And he said to him, “What has happened, my son?”
I reèe èovjek Iliju: ja idem iz boja, utekoh danas iz boja. A on reèe: šta bi, sine?
17 And responding, the man reported and said: “Israel has fled before the Philistines. And a great ruin has happened to the people. Moreover, your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, also have died. And the ark of God has been captured.”
A glasnik odgovarajuæi reèe: pobježe Izrailj ispred Filisteja, i izgibe mnogo naroda, i oba sina tvoja pogiboše, Ofnije i Fines, i kovèeg Božji otet je.
18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from the seat backwards, toward the door, and, having broken his neck, he died. For he was an old man of great age. And he judged Israel for forty years.
A kad spomenu kovèeg Božji, pade Ilije sa stolice nauznako kod vrata i slomi vrat i umrije, jer bijaše èovjek star i težak. On bi sudija Izrailju èetrdeset godina.
19 Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, and her delivery was near. And upon hearing the news that the ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she bent down and went into labor. For her pains rushed upon her suddenly.
A snaha njegova, žena Finesova, bijaše trudna i na tom doba, pa èuvši glas da je kovèeg Božji otet i da joj je poginuo svekar i muž, savi se i porodi, jer joj doðoše bolovi.
20 Then, when she was near death, those who were standing around her said to her, “You should not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond to them, and she did not notice them.
I kad umiraše, rekoše joj koje stajahu kod nje: ne boj se, rodila si sina. Ali ona ne odgovori, niti hajaše za to.
21 And she called the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory of Israel has been taken away,” because the ark of God was captured, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Nego djetetu nadje ime Ihavod govoreæi: otide slava od Izrailja; jer kovèeg Božji bi otet, i svekar joj i muž pogiboše.
22 And she said, “The glory has been taken away from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured.
Zato reèe: otide slava od Izrailja; jer bi otet kovèeg Božji.
