1 Samuel 7

1 Then the men of Kiriath-jearim arrived, and they led away the ark of the Lord. And they brought it into the house of Abinadab, in Gibeah. Then they sanctified Eleazar, his son, so that he might care for the ark 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 happened that, from that day, the ark of the Lord remained in Kiriath-jearim. And the days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following 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 Then Samuel spoke to the entire house of Israel, saying: “If you would return to the Lord with your whole heart, take away strange gods from among you, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve him alone. And he will rescue 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 Therefore, the sons of Israel took away the Baals and Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord alone.

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

5 And Samuel said, “Gather all of Israel at Mizpah, so that I may 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 convened at Mizpah. And they drew water, and they poured it out in the sight of the Lord. And on that day they fasted, and in that place they said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.

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 the sons of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah. And the princes of the Philistines ascended against Israel. And when the sons of Israel had heard this, they were afraid before the face of 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 they said to Samuel, “May you not cease to cry out to the Lord our God on our behalf, so that he may save us from 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 Then Samuel took one suckling lamb, and he offered it whole, as a holocaust to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord heeded 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 Then it happened that, while Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great crash, on that day, over the Philistines, and he terrified them, and they were cut down before the face of 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, departing from Mizpah, pursued the Philistines, and they struck them down as far as the place which was below Bethcar.

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

12 Then Samuel took a single stone, and he placed it between Mizpah and Shen. And he called the name of this place: The Stone of Assistance. And he said, “For in this place the Lord gave assistance to 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 And the Philistines were humbled, and they no longer drew near, so that they might enter into the borders of Israel. And so, the hand of the Lord was over the Philistines during 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 that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron as far as Gath, with their borders. And he freed Israel from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

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 each year, traveling around to Bethel, and to Gilgal, and to Mizpah, and he judged Israel in the above-stated places.

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

17 And he returned to Ramah. For his house was there, and he judged Israel there. And then he built an altar to the Lord there.

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