< 1 Samuel 4 >
1 And the word of Samuel became known to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ha'ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
Un Samuēls sludināja visam Israēlim Dieva vārdu. Un Israēls izgāja uz karu pret Fīlistiem un apmetās pie EbenEcera. Un Fīlisti apmetās pie Afekas.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in battle-array against Israel; and the battle became general, and Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew on the battle-ground, in the field, about four thousand men.
Un Fīlisti taisījās Israēlim pretī, un tā kaušanās vairojās un izplētās, un Israēls no Fīlistiem tapa sakauts, un tie tai kaušanā uz lauka nokāva līdz četrtūkstoš vīrus.
3 And when the people were come back into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us this day before the Philistines? Let us bring over to us out of Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come in the midst of us, and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.
Un tie ļaudis nāca lēģerī, un Israēla vecaji sacīja: kāpēc Tas Kungs mūs šodien kāvis Fīlistu priekšā? Ņemsim pie sevis Tā Kunga derības šķirstu no Šīlo, ka Viņš nāk mūsu vidū un mūs izglābj no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought away from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth over the cherubim: and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
Tad tie ļaudis sūtīja uz Šīlo un atveda no turienes Tā Kunga Cebaot derības šķirstu, (Tā Kunga), kas sēž pār ķerubiem, un abi Elus dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, bija līdz, klāt pie Dieva derības šķirsta.
5 And it happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, that all Israel set up a great shout, so that the earth trembled.
Kad nu Tā Kunga derības šķirsts nāca lēģerī, tad viss Israēls gavilēja ar lielu gavilēšanu, tā ka zeme drebēja.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
Un kad Fīlisti to gavilēšanu dzirdēja, tad tie sacīja: kas tā par lielu gavilēšanas skaņu Ebreju lēģeri? Tad tie manīja, Tā Kunga šķirstu esam nākušu lēģerī.
7 And the Philistines were afraid; for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for the like of this hath not been, yesterday or the day before.
Un Fīlisti bijās un sacīja: Dievs nācis lēģerī. Un tie sacīja: Ak vai, mums! Jo līdz šim tā nav noticis.
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.
Ak vai, mums! Kas mūs izpestīs no šo vareno dievu rokas? Šie ir tie dievi, kas ēģiptiešus situši ar visādām mocībām tuksnesī.
9 Be strong, and act like men, O Philistines, so that ye become not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: therefore act like men, and fight.
Esiet stipri un turaties kā vīri, jūs Fīlisti, ka jums Ebrejiem nav jākalpo, tā kā tie jums kalpojuši, Turaties kā vīri un kaujaties!
10 And the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were smitten, and they fled every man unto his tent: and the defeat was very great; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand men on foot.
Tad Fīlisti kāvās un Israēls tapa sakauts un bēga ikviens uz savu dzīvokli. Un tur notika varen liela kaušana, jo no Israēla krita trīsdesmit tūkstoš kājnieki.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, died also.
Un Dieva šķirsts tika paņemts un Elus abi dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, nomira.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin from the battlefield, and came to Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head.
Tad viens Benjaminietis skrēja no tā karapulka un nāca tai dienā uz Šīlo ar saplēstām drēbēm un ar zemi uz galvas.
13 And when he came, lo, 'Eli was sitting upon a chair by the wayside watching; for his heart was anxious for the ark of God. And when the man came to tell it in the city, all the city cried out.
Un tam nākot, redzi, Elus sēdēja uz krēsla ceļmalā skatīdamies, jo viņa sirds trīcēja Dieva šķirsta dēļ. Kad nu tas vīrs nonāca un pilsētā to stāstīja, tad visa pilsēta brēca.
14 And when 'Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this multitude? And the man came in hastily, and told it to 'Eli.
Un kad Elus to brēkšanu dzirdēja, tad viņš sacīja: kas tas par troksni? Tad tas vīrs steidzās un nāca un to izteica Elum.
15 Now 'Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.
(Elus nu bija deviņdesmit un astoņus gadus vecs, un viņa acis jau bija tumšas metušās un nevarēja vairs redzēt.)
16 And the man said unto 'Eli, I am the person that came from the battlefield, and I myself fled from the battlefield today. And he said, What was it that took place, my son?
Un tas vīrs sacīja uz Elu: es esmu nācis no karapulka un šodien bēdzis no karapulka. Tad viņš sacīja: kā tur iet, mans dēls?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath also been a great slaughter among the people, and also thy two sons, Chophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God hath been taken.
Un tas vēstnesis atbildēja un sacīja: Israēls ir bēdzis Fīlistu priekšā un liela kaušana tiem ļaudīm notikusi, arī tavi abi dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, miruši. Un Dieva šķirsts ir paņemts.
18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Un notikās, kad šis Dieva šķirstu pieminēja, tad viņš krita no krēsla atpakaļ pie vārtiem un lauza savu kaklu un nomira, jo tas vīrs bija vecs un smags; un viņš Israēli bija tiesājis četrdesmit gadus.
19 And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.
Un viņa vedekla, Pinehasa sieva, bija grūta un gaidās. Kad nu šī to vēsti dzirdēja, ka Dieva šķirsts bija paņemts un viņas tēvocis nomiris līdz ar viņas vīru, tad viņa locījās un dzemdēja, jo sāpes viņai uzbruka.
20 And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke [unto her], Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.
Un viņai mirstot tās (sievas), kas viņai klāt stāvēja, sacīja: nebīsties, jo tu dēlu esi dzemdējusi. Bet viņa neatbildēja un to neņēma pie sirds.
21 And she named the child I-chabod, saying, Glory is departed from Israel; because of the taking away of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Un tā to puisēnu nosauca Ihabodu, sacīdama: godība ir nost no Israēla, - tādēļ ka Dieva šķirsts bija atņemts, un sava tēvoča un vīra dēļ.
22 And she said, Glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God hath been taken away.
Un tā sacīja: godība ir nost no Israēla, jo Dieva šķirsts ir atņemts.
