1 Samuel 4
1 And what Samuel had said happened to all Israel. And Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
И шта рече Самуило, зби се свему Израиљу. Јер Израиљ изађе на војску на Филистеје, и стадоше у логор код Евен-Езера, а Филистеји стадоше у логор у Афеку.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and the battle spread, and Israel was routed before the Philistines; and they slew in battle array in the field about four thousand men.
А Филистеји се уврсташе према Израиљу, и кад се отвори бој, разбише Филистеји Израиља, и изгибе их у боју у пољу око четири хиљаде људи.
3 And the people came into the camp; and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch ourselves the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.
И кад народ дође у логор, рекоше старешине Израиљеве: Зашто нас данас разби Господ пред Филистејима? Да донесемо из Силома ковчег завета Господњег, да буде међу нама и избави нас из руку непријатеља наших.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there by the ark of the covenant of God.
И народ посла у Силом да донесу оданде ковчег завета Господа над војскама, који седи на херувимима; а беху онде код ковчега завета Господњег два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес.
5 And it came to pass when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, that all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook.
А кад дође ковчег завета Господњег у логор, повика сав Израиљ од радости да земља зајеча.
6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.
А Филистеји чувши веселу вику рекоше: Каква је то вика весела у логору јеврејском? И разумеше да је дошао ковчег Господњи у логор њихов.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.
И уплашише се Филистеји кад рекоше: Бог је дошао у логор. И говораху: Тешко нама! Јер то није бивало пре.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Тешко нама! Ко ће нас избавити из руку тих силних богова? То су богови што побише Мисирце у пустињи свакојаким мукама.
9 Shew yourselves valiant and be men, ye Philistines, that ye may not have to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: be men, and fight.
Охрабрите се, и будите људи, о Филистеји! Да не служите Јеврејима као што су они вама служили; будите људи и удрите.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was routed, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
И Филистеји ударише, и Израиљци се опет разбише и побегоше к шаторима својим; и бој беше врло велик, јер паде из Израиља тридесет хиљада пешака.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
И ковчег Божји би отет, и два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес погибоше.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head.
А један између синова Венијаминових побеже из боја, и дође у Силом исти дан раздртих хаљина и главе посуте прахом.
13 And when he came, behold, Eli was sitting upon the seat by the way-side watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.
И кад дође, гле, Илије сеђаше на столици украј пута погледајући; јер срце његово беше у страху за ковчег Божји. И дошав онај човек у град каза гласе, и стаде вика свега града.
14 And Eli heard the noise of the crying, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came hastily, and told Eli.
А Илије чувши вику рече: Каква је то врева? И човек брже дотрча да јави Илију.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
А Илију беше деведесет и осам година, и очи му беху потамнеле, те не могаше видети.
16 And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son?
И рече човек Илију: Ја идем из боја, утекох данас из боја. А он рече: Шта би, сине?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
А гласник одговарајући рече: Побеже Израиљ испред Филистеја, и изгибе много народа, и оба сина твоја погибоше, Офније и Финес, и ковчег Божји отет је.
18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
А кад спомену ковчег Божји, паде Илије са столице наузнако код врата и сломи врат и умре, јер беше човек стар и тежак. Он би судија Израиљу четрдесет година.
19 And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
А снаха његова, жена Финесова, беше трудна и на том доба, па чувши глас да је ковчег Божји отет и да јој је погинуо свекар и муж, сави се и породи, јер јој дођоше болови.
20 And as she was dying, the women that stood by her said, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she did not answer, neither did she take it to heart.
И кад умираше, рекоше јој које стајаху код ње: Не бој се, родила си сина. Али она не одговори, нити хајаше за то.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Него детету наде име Ихавод говорећи: Отиде слава од Израиља; јер ковчег Божји би отет, и свекар јој и муж погибоше.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
Зато рече: Отиде слава од Израиља; јер би отет ковчег Божји.
