< 1 Samuel 7 >

1 And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and bring it into the house of Abinadab, in the height, and they have sanctified his son Eleazar to keep the Ark of YHWH.
Tada dođoše ljudi iz Kirjat Jearima i odnesoše Kovčeg Jahvin sebi. Unesoše ga u kuću Abinadabovu, na uzvišici, i posvetiše njegova sina Eleazara da čuva Kovčeg Jahvin.
2 And it comes to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the Ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied—indeed, they are twenty years—and all the house of Israel wails after YHWH.
Od dana kad je Kovčeg bio postavljen u Kirjat Jearimu, prođe mnogo vremena - dvadeset godina - i sav je dom Izraelov uzdisao za Jahvom.
3 And Samuel speaks to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are turning back to YHWH with all your heart—turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart for YHWH, and serve Him only, and He delivers you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Tada Samuel progovori svemu domu Izraelovu ovako: “Ako se od svega srca svoga vraćate Jahvi, uklonite iz svoje sredine tuđe bogove, baale i aštarte, i upravite srce svoje Jahvi i njemu jedinome služite. Tada će vas on izbaviti iz ruke Filistejaca.”
4 And the sons of Israel turn aside the Ba‘alim and Ashtaroth, and serve YHWH alone;
Sinovi Izraelovi ukloniše nato baale i aštarte i služahu jedinome Jahvi.
5 and Samuel says, “Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray to YHWH for you.”
Samuel tada zapovjedi: “Skupite sve sinove Izraelove u Mispu da se pomolim Jahvi za vas.”
6 And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before YHWH, and fast on that day, and say there, “We have sinned against YHWH”; and Samuel judges the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
Oni se dakle skupiše u Mispi; ondje su grabili vodu i izlijevali je pred Jahvom. I postili su onaj dan i priznavali: “Sagriješili smo Jahvi!” I Samuel je sudio sinovima Izraelovim u Mispi.
7 And the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence of the Philistines.
Kad su Filistejci čuli da su se sinovi Izraelovi skupili u Mispi, krenu filistejski knezovi da napadnu na Izraela. Kad to vidješe sinovi Izraelovi, uplašiše se Filistejaca.
8 And the sons of Israel say to Samuel, “Do not keep silent for us from crying to our God YHWH, and He saves us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
I zamoliše sinovi Izraelovi Samuela: “Ne prestaj vapiti za nas Jahvi, Bogu našemu, da nas izbavi iz ruke Filistejaca.”
9 And Samuel takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up—a whole burnt-offering to YHWH; and Samuel cries to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answers him;
Samuel uze jedno janje sisanče i prinese ga Jahvi kao žrtvu paljenicu i glasno se pomoli Jahvi za Izraela, i Jahve ga usliša.
10 and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up—and the Philistines have drawn near to battle against Israel—and YHWH thunders with a great noise, on that day, on the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are struck before Israel.
Dok je Samuel prinosio žrtvu paljenicu, Filistejci su došli da udare na Izraela, ali Jahve toga dana zagrmi silnom grmljavinom na Filistejce i tako ih prestraši i smete da su podlegli Izraelu.
11 And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and strike them to the place of Beth-Car.
Ratnici izraelski iziđoše iz Mispe i potjeraše Filistejce, tukući ih sve do ispod Bet Kara.
12 And Samuel takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, “Until now YHWH has helped us.”
A Samuel uze jedan kamen i postavi ga između Mispe i Ješane i nazva ga imenom Eben Haezer govoreći: “Dovde nam je Jahve pomogao.”
13 And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added anymore to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of YHWH is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Tako su Filistejci bili poniženi i nikada više ne navališe na zemlju Izraelovu, a ruka je Jahvina pritiskivala Filistejce svega vijeka Samuelova.
14 And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel—from Ekron even to Gath—and Israel has delivered their border out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
I gradove koje Filistejci bijahu zauzeli od Izraela vratiše se njemu, od Ekrona do Gata, i Izrael oslobodi njihovo područje iz ruke filistejske. I bio je mir između Izraela i Amorejaca.
15 And Samuel judges Israel all the days of his life,
Samuel je bio sudac u Izraelu svega svoga vijeka.
16 and he has gone from year to year, and gone around Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;
Svake je godine obilazio Betel, Gilgal i Mispu i u svim je tim mjestima sudio Izraelu.
17 and his returning [is] to Ramath, for his house [is] there, and he has judged Israel there, and he builds an altar to YHWH there.
Zatim se vraćao u Ramu, jer je ondje imao svoju kuću i ondje je sudio Izraelu. Ondje je podigao i žrtvenik Jahvi.
