1 Samuel 7

1 Then the men of Kiriath-iearim came, and tooke vp the Arke of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill: and they sanctified Eleazar his sonne, to keepe the Arke of the Lord.

Možje iz Kirját Jearíma so prišli in prenesli gor Gospodovo skrinjo in jo prinesli v Abinadábovo hišo na hribu in posvetili njegovega sina Eleazarja, da varuje Gospodovo skrinjo.

2 (For while the Arke abode in Kiriath-iearim, the time was long, for it was twentie yeeres) and al the house of Israel lamented after ye Lord.

Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je skrinja prebivala v Kirját Jearímu, da je bil čas dolg, kajti to je bilo dvajset let. Vsa Izraelova hiša je žalovala za Gospodom.

3 Then Samuel spake vnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye be come againe vnto the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, and Ashtaroth, and direct your hearts vnto the Lord, and serue him only, and he shall deliuer you out of the hand of ye Philistims.

Samuel je govoril vsej Izraelovi hiši, rekoč: »Če se z vsemi svojimi srci vrnete h Gospodu, potem izmed sebe odstranite tuje bogove in Astarto in pripravite svoja srca h Gospodu in samo njemu služite. On vas bo osvobodil iz roke Filistejcev.«

4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serued the Lord onely.

Potem so Izraelovi otroci odstranili Báale in Astarto in služili samo Gospodu.

5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you vnto the Lord.

Samuel je rekel: »Zberite ves Izrael v Micpi in jaz bom za vas molil h Gospodu.«

6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drewe water and powred it out before the Lord, and fasted the same day, and sayd there, We haue sinned against the Lord. And Samuel iudged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

Zbrali so se skupaj v Micpi, zajeli vodo in jo izlili pred Gospodom in se postili na ta dan in tam rekli: »Grešili smo zoper Gospoda.« In Samuel je sodil Izraelove otroke v Micpi.

7 When the Philistims heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the princes of the Philistims went vp against Israel: and when the children of Israel heard that, they were afraide of the Philistims.

Ko so Filistejci slišali, da so se Izraelovi otroci zbrali skupaj k Micpi, so filistejski knezi odšli gor zoper Izrael. Ko so Izraelovi otroci to slišali, so se bali Filistejcev.

8 And the children of Israel sayd to Samuel, Cease not to crie vnto the Lord our God for vs, that hee may saue vs out of the hand of the Philistims.

Izraelovi otroci so rekli Samuelu: »Ne odnehaj klicati h Gospodu, našemu Bogu za nas, da nas bo rešil iz roke Filistejcev.«

9 Then Samuel tooke a sucking lambe, and offered it all together for a burnt offering vnto the Lord, and Samuel cryed vnto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.

Samuel je vzel sesajoče jagnje in ga v celoti daroval v žgalno daritev Gospodu. Samuel je klical h Gospodu za Izrael in Gospod ga je slišal.

10 And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistims came to fight against Israel: but the Lord thundred with a great thunder that day vpon the Philistims, and scattered them: so they were slaine before Israel.

Medtem ko je Samuel daroval žgalno daritev, so se približali Filistejci, da se bojujejo zoper Izrael, toda Gospod je na ta dan z velikim gromom zagrmel nad Filistejci in jih porazil in udarjeni so bili pred Izraelom.

11 And the men of Israel went from Mizpeh and pursued the Philistims, and smote them vntill they came vnder Beth-car.

Možje iz Izraela so odšli ven iz Micpe in zasledovali Filistejce in jih udarjali, dokler niso prišli pod Bet Kar.

12 Then Samuel tooke a stone and pitched it betweene Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name thereof, Eben-ezer, and he sayd, Hitherto hath the Lord holpen vs.

Potem je Samuel vzel kamen in ga postavil med Micpo in Jašén in njegovo ime imenoval Eben Ezer, rekoč: »Doslej nam je Gospod pomagal.«

13 So the Philistims were brought vnder, and they came no more againe into the coastes of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistims all the dayes of Samuel.

Tako so bili Filistejci podjarmljeni in niso več prišli v območje Izraela in Gospodova roka je bila zoper Filistejce vse Samuelove dni.

14 Also the cities which the Philistims had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Ekron euen to Gath: and Israel deliuered the coastes of the same out of the hands of the Philistims: and there was peace betweene Israel and the Amorites.

Mesta, ki so jih Filistejci vzeli od Izraela, so bila povrnjena Izraelu, od Ekróna, celo do Gata in njihova območja je Izrael osvobodil iz rok Filistejcev. In bil je mir med Izraelom in Amoréjci.

15 And Samuel iudged Israel all the dayes of his life,

Samuel je sodil Izraelu vse dni svojega življenja.

16 And went about yeere by yere to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and iudged Israel in all those places.

Iz leta v leto je odšel na obhod do Betela in Gilgála in Micpe in na vseh teh krajih sodil Izraelu.

17 Afterward hee returned to Ramah: for there was his house, and there he iudged Israel: also he built an altar there vnto the Lord.

Njegova vrnitev je bila v Ramo, kajti tam je bila njegova hiša in tam je sodil Izraelu in tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu.
