1 Samuel 4
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
Dumating ang salita ni Samuel sa buong Israel. Ngayon umalis ang Israel upang makipaglaban sa mga Filisteo. Nagtayo sila ng kampo sa Ebenezer, at nagtayo ng kampo ang mga Felisteo sa Afek.
2 And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
Humanay ang mga Filisteo para labanan ang Israel. Lumaganap ang labanan, natalo ang Israel ng mga Filisteo, na pumatay ng halos apat na libong kalalakihan sa lugar ng labanan.
3 And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
Nang dumating ang mga tao sa kampo, sinabi ng nakakatanda ng Israel, “Bakit tayo pinatalo ni Yahweh ngayon sa mga Filisteo? Dalhin natin ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh dito mula sa Silo, upang makasama natin iyon dito, para panatilihin tayong ligtas mula sa kapangyarihan ng ating mga kaaway.”
4 So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
Kaya nagpadala ang mga tao ng kalalakihan sa Silo; mula roon dinala nila ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, na nakaupo sa itaas ng querobin. Ang dalawang anak na lalaki ni Eli na sina Hofni at Finehas ay naroon kasama ang kaban ng tipan ng Diyos.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
Nang dumating ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh sa kampo, sumigaw nang malakas ang lahat ng mga tao ng Israel, at umugong ang mundo.
6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
Nang narinig ng mga Filisteo ang ingay ng hiyawan, sinabi nila, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong malakas na hiyawan sa kampo ng mga Hebreo?” Pagkatapos napagtanto nila na dumating ang kaban ni Yahweh sa kampo.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
Natakot ang mga Filisteo; sinabi nila, “Dumating ang Diyos sa kampo.” Sinabi nila, “Kapighatian sa atin!” Hindi pa nangyayari ito noon!
8 Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
Kapighatian sa atin! Sino ang magtatanggol sa atin mula sa lakas nitong makapangyarihang Diyos? Ito ang Diyos na sumalakay sa mga taga-Ehipto sa pamamagitan ng marami at iba't ibang uri ng salot sa ilang.
9 Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
Lakasan ninyo ang loob ninyo, at magpakalalaki kayo, kayong mga Filisteo, o magiging mga alipin kayo para sa mga Hebreo, gaya ng naging mga alipin sila sa inyo. Magpakalalaki kayo, at lumaban.”
10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Nakipaglaban ang mga Filisteo, at natalo ang Israel. Tumakas ang bawat isa sa kanyang bahay, at ang patayan ay napakalawak; sapagka't natalo ang tatlumpung libong sundalo mula sa Israel.
11 And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
Nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at namatay ang dalawang lalaking anak ni Eli, na sina Hofni at Finehas.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
Tumakbo ang isang lalaki ng Benjamin mula sa hanay ng labanan at nakarating sa Silo sa parehong araw, dumating na punit ang kanyang mga damit at may lupa sa kanyang ulo.
13 And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
Nang nakarating siya, nakaupo si Eli sa kanyang upuan na nakatingin sa daan dahil kumabog ang kanyang puso na may pag-aalala para sa kaban ng Diyos. Nang pumasok ang lalaki sa lungsod at sinabi ang balita, umiyak ang buong lungsod.
14 And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
Nang narinig ni Eli ang ingay ng iyakan, sinabi niya, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong hiyawan?” Biglang dumating ang lalaki at sinabi kay Eli.
15 Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
Ngayon siyamnapu't walong taong gulang na si Eli; malabo ang kanyang mga mata, at hindi siya makakita.
16 And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
Sinabi ng lalaki kay Eli, “Ako ang isang nanggaling mula sa hanay ng labanan. Tumakas ako mula sa labanan sa araw na ito.” At sinabi niya, “Ano ang nangyari, anak ko?”
17 And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
Sumagot at nagsabi ang lalaking nagdala ng balita, “Tumakas ang Israel mula sa mga Filisteo. Mayroon ding isang malaking pagkatalo sa mga tao. Ang iyong dalawang anak na lalaki, na sina Hofni at Finehas ay patay na, at nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
Nang nabanggit niya ang kaban ng Diyos, natumba patalikod si Eli mula sa kanyang upuan sa gilid ng tarangkahan. Nabali ang kanyang leeg, at namatay siya, dahil matanda na siya at mabigat. Naging hukom siya ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon.
19 And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
Ngayon ang kanyang manugang na babae, asawa ni Finehas, ay buntis at malapit ng manganganak. Nang narinig niya ang balita na nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at ang kanyang biyenang lalaki at ang kanyang asawa ay patay na, lumuhod siya at nanganak, ngunit nagpahina sa kanya ang hirap ng kanyang panganganak.
20 And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
Sinabi sa kanya ng babaeng nagpapaanak sa oras na malapit na siyang mamatay, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil nanganak ka ng isang lalaki.” Ngunit hindi siya sumagot o isinapuso kung ano ang kanilang sinabi.
21 And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
Pinangalanan niya ang bata ng Icabod, na nagsasabing, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel!” dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos, at dahil sa kanyang biyenan at kanyang asawa.
22 And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
At sinabi niya, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel, dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
