1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped 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 Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks in the field about four 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 And the people come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves us out of the hand 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 And the people send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
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 it comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.
Ko je v tabor prišla skrinja Gospodove zaveze, je ves Izrael vriskal z močnim vriskom, tako da je zemlja ponovno zadonela.
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has come into the camp.
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 Philistines are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this before.
Filistejci so bili prestrašeni, kajti rekli so: »Bog je prišel v tabor.« Rekli so: »Gorje nam! Kajti poprej še ni bilo takšne stvari.
8 Woe to us, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Gorje nam! Kdo nas bo rešil iz roke teh mogočnih Bogov? To so Bogovi, ki so v divjini udarili Egipčane z vsemi nadlogami.
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”
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 Philistines fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;
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 Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
Božja skrinja je bila vzeta in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila ubita.
12 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on 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 he comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries 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 Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells Eli.
Ko je Éli slišal hrup vpitja, je rekel: »Kaj pomeni zvok tega nemira?« Mož je v naglici prišel in povedal Éliju.
15 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
Torej Éli je bil star osemindevetdeset let in njegove oči so bile zatemnjene, da ni mogel videti.
16 And the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been the matter, my son?”
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 And he who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”
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 it comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] forty years.
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-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on 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 at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to 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 calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, and because of her father-in-law 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 And she says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
Rekla je: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, kajti Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
