1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
I bijaše kovèeg Gospodnji u zemlji Filistejskoj sedam mjeseca.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said:
Tada dozvaše Filisteji sveštenike i vraèe, pa im rekoše: šta æemo èiniti s kovèegom Gospodnjim? nauèite nas kako æemo ga poslati natrag na njegovo mjesto.
3 If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.
A oni rekoše: ako æete natrag poslati kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva, ne šaljite ga prazna, nego uza nj podajte prinos za grijeh; tada æete ozdraviti i doznaæete zašto se ruka njegova nije odmakla od vas.
4 They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
A oni rekoše: kakav æemo mu dati prinos za grijeh? A oni rekoše: prema broju kneževina Filistejskih pet zlatnijeh šuljeva i pet zlatnijeh miševa; jer je zlo jednako na svjema vama i na knezovima vašim.
5 According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
Naèinite dakle slike od svojih šuljeva i slike od miševa koji kvare zemlju, i podajte slavu Bogu Izrailjevu. Može biti da æe ulakšati ruku svoju nad vama i nad bogovima vašim i nad zemljom vašom.
6 Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?
I zašto biste bili uporna srca kao što bijahu uporna srca Misirci i Faraon? i pošto uèini èudesa na njima, eda li ih tada ne pustiše, te otidoše?
7 Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Zato naèinite jedna kola nova, i uzmite dvije krave dojilice, na kojima još nije bio jaram, pa upregnite krave u kola, a telad njihovu odvedite od njih kuæi.
8 And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go.
Pa uzmite kovèeg Gospodnji i metnite ga na kola; a zaklade zlatne što æete mu dati za grijeh metnite u kovèežiæ pokraj njega, i pustite ga neka ide.
9 And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.
I gledajte: ako poðe putem k meði svojoj u Vet-Semes, on nam je uèinio ovo veliko zlo; ako li ne poðe tako, onda æemo znati da nas se nije dohvatila ruka njegova, nego nam se dogodilo sluèajno.
10 They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had suckling calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
I uèiniše tako oni ljudi; i uzevši dvije krave dojilice upregoše ih u kola, a telad njihovu zatvoriše kod kuæe.
11 And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice and the likeness of the emerods.
I metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji na kola, i mali kovèežiæ s mišima zlatnijem i sa slikama svojih šuljeva.
12 And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.
I poðoše krave pravo putem u Vet-Semes, i jednako iðahu istijem putem muèuæi i ne svræuæi ni nadesno ni nalijevo; a knezovi Filistejski iðahu za njima do meðe Vet-Semeske.
13 Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
A Vet-Semešani žnjahu pšenicu u dolini, i podigavši oèi svoje vidješe kovèeg, i obradovaše se vidjevši ga.
14 And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.
I doðoše kola na njivu Isusa Vet-Semešanina, i stadoše ondje. A bijaše ondje velik kamen; i iscjepaše drva od kola, i prinesoše one krave na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.
A Leviti snimivši kovèeg Gospodnji i kovèežiæ što bješe pokraj njega, u kojem bijahu zakladi zlatni, metnuše na onaj veliki kamen; a ljudi iz Vet-Semesa gotoviše žrtve paljenice i prinosiše žrtve Gospodu onaj dan.
16 And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
A to vidjevši pet knezova Filistejskih vratiše se u Akaron isti dan.
17 And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:
A ovo bjehu zlatni šuljevi koje dadoše Filisteji Gospodu za grijeh: za Azot jedan, za Gazu jedan, za Askalon jedan, za Gat jedan, za Akaron jedan.
18 And the golden mice according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.
I miši zlatni bjehu prema broju svijeh gradova Filistejskih, u pet kneževina, svijeh zidanijeh gradova i sela neograðenijeh do velikoga kamena, na koji metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji, i koji je i danas u polju Isusa Vet-Semešanina.
19 But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord: and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
Ali pobi Gospod neke izmeðu Vet-Semešana koji zagledaše u kovèeg Gospodnji, i pobi iz naroda pedeset tisuæa i sedamdeset ljudi. I plaka narod što ga Gospod udari velikom pogiblju.
20 And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
I ljudi iz Vet-Semesa rekoše: ko može ostati pred tijem Gospodom Bogom svetijem? i ka kome æe otiæi od nas?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.
I poslaše poslanike k stanovnicima Kirijat-Jarimskim govoreæi: donesoše natrag Filisteji kovèeg Gospodnji, hodite, odnesite ga k sebi.
