< 1 Samuel 4 >

1 And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
Beseda od Samuela je prišla k vsemu Izraelu. Torej Izrael je odšel ven zoper Filistejce, da se bojujejo in utaborili so se poleg Eben Ezerja. Filistejci pa so se utaborili v Aféku.
2 And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
Filistejci so se razporedili zoper Izraela in ko so se pridružili bitki, je bil Izrael udarjen pred Filistejci in usmrtili so izmed vojske na polju okoli štiri tisoč mož.
3 So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v tabor, so starešine Izraela rekli: »Zakaj nas je Gospod danes udaril pred Filistejci? Skrinjo Gospodove zaveze prinesimo iz Šila k sebi, da ko ta pride med nas, nas ta lahko reši iz roke naših sovražnikov.«
4 Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
Tako je ljudstvo poslalo v Šilo, da bi od tam lahko prinesli skrinjo zaveze Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva med kerubi, in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila tam s skrinjo Božje zaveze.
5 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
Ko je v tabor prišla skrinja Gospodove zaveze, je ves Izrael vriskal z močnim vriskom, tako da je zemlja ponovno zadonela.
6 And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
Ko so Filistejci slišali hrup vriska, so rekli: »Kaj pomeni hrup tega močnega vriska v taboru Hebrejcev?« Razumeli so, da je v tabor prišla Gospodova skrinja.
7 And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
Filistejci so bili prestrašeni, kajti rekli so: »Bog je prišel v tabor.« Rekli so: »Gorje nam! Kajti poprej še ni bilo takšne stvari.
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
Gorje nam! Kdo nas bo rešil iz roke teh mogočnih Bogov? To so Bogovi, ki so v divjini udarili Egipčane z vsemi nadlogami.
9 Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
Bodite močni in obnašajte se kakor možje, oh vi Filistejci, da ne bomo služabniki Hebrejcem, kakor so bili oni vam. Obnašajte se kakor možje in se borite.«
10 And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
Filistejci so se borili in Izrael je bil udarjen in zbežali so vsak mož v svoj šotor, in bil je zelo velik pokol, kajti v Izraelu je padlo trideset tisoč pešcev.
11 And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
Božja skrinja je bila vzeta in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila ubita.
12 And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
Mož iz Benjamina pa je stekel iz vojske in še isti dan prišel v Šilo s pretrganimi oblačili in prstjo na svoji glavi.
13 And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
Ko je prišel, glej, je Éli sedel na sedežu in gledal ob poti, kajti njegovo srce je trepetalo za Božjo skrinjo. Ko je mož prišel v mesto in to povedal, je celotno mesto zavpilo.
14 And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
Ko je Éli slišal hrup vpitja, je rekel: »Kaj pomeni zvok tega nemira?« Mož je v naglici prišel in povedal Éliju.
15 (Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
Torej Éli je bil star osemindevetdeset let in njegove oči so bile zatemnjene, da ni mogel videti.
16 And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
Mož je rekel Éliju: »Jaz sem tisti, ki je prišel iz vojske in danes sem pobegnil iz vojske.« On pa je rekel: »Kaj je tam storjeno, moj sin?«
17 Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
Poslanec je odgovoril in rekel: »Izrael je pobegnil pred Filistejci in tam je bil prav tako velik pokol med ljudstvom in tudi tvoja sinova, Hofní in Pinhás sta mrtva in Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
18 And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
Pripetilo se je, ko je omenil Božjo skrinjo, da je padel nazaj s stola ob strani velikih vrat in njegov vrat se je zlomil in je umrl, kajti bil je starec in težak. Izraelu je sodil štirideset let.
19 And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
Njegova snaha, Pinhásova soproga, je bila z otrokom, blizu časa poroda. Ko je slišala novice, da je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in da sta bila njen tast in njen mož mrtva, se je sklonila in bila v porodnih mukah, kajti njene bolečine so prišle nadnjo.
20 And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
Okoli časa njene smrti so ji ženske, ki so stale ob njej, rekle: »Ne boj se, kajti rodila si sina.« Toda ona ni odgovorila niti se na to ni ozirala.
21 And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
Otroka je imenovala Ikabód, rekoč: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, « ker je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in zaradi njenega tasta in njenega soproga.
22 She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
Rekla je: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, kajti Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
