1 Samuel 7

1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD and brought it into the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

Tada doðoše ljudi iz Kirijat-Jarima, i uzeše kovèeg Gospodnji, i odnesoše ga u kuæu Avinadavovu na brdu, a Eleazara sina njegova posvetiše da èuva kovèeg Gospodnji.

2 It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

A kad kovèeg osta u Kirijat-Jarimu, proðe mnogo vremena, dvadeset godina, i plakaše sav dom Izrailjev za Gospodom.

3 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you do return to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."

A Samuilo reèe svemu domu Izrailjevu govoreæi: ako se svijem srcem svojim obraæate ka Gospodu, povrzite tuðe bogove izmeðu sebe i Astarote, i spremite srce svoje za Gospoda, njemu jedinomu služite, pa æe vas izbaviti iz ruku Filistejskih.

4 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

I povrgoše sinovi Izrailjevi Vale i Astarote, i služiše Gospodu jedinomu.

5 Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to the LORD."

Potom reèe Samuilo: skupite svega Izrailja u Mispu, da se pomolim Gospodu za vas.

6 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said, "We have sinned against the LORD." Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

I skupiše se u Mispu, i crpuæi vodu proljevaše pred Gospodom, i postiše onaj dan, i ondje rekoše: sagriješismo Gospodu. I Samuilo suðaše sinovima Izrailjevijem u Mispi.

7 When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

A Filisteji kad èuše da su se sinovi Izrailjevi skupili u Mispu, izidoše knezovi Filistejski na Izrailja. A kad to èuše sinovi Izrailjevi, uplašiše se od Filisteja.

8 The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD your God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."

I rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Samuilu: ne prestaj vapiti za nas ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, eda bi nas izbavio iz ruku Filistejskih.

9 Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him.

Tada Samuilo uze jedno jagnje odojèe, i prinese ga svega Gospodu na žrtvu paljenicu; i vapi Samuilo ka Gospodu za Izrailja, i usliši ga Gospod.

10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

I kad Samuilo prinošaše žrtvu paljenicu, približiše se Filisteji da udare na Izrailja; ali zagrmje Gospod grmljavinom velikom u onaj dan na Filisteje i smete ih, i biše pobijeni pred Izrailjem.

11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, as far as below Beth Kar.

A Izrailjci izidoše iz Mispe, i potjeraše Filisteje, i biše ih do pod Vet-Har.

12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Jashan, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "The LORD helped us until now."

Tada uze Samuilo kamen, i metnu ga izmeðu Mispe i Sena, i nazva ga Even-Ezer, jer reèe: dovde nam Gospod pomože.

13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the territory of Israel. The hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

Tako biše pokoreni Filisteji, i više ne dolaziše na meðu Izrailjevu. I ruka Gospodnja bješe protiv Filisteja svega vijeka Samuilova.

14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

I povratiše se Izrailju gradovi, koje bjehu uzeli Filisteji Izrailju, od Akarona do Gata, i meðe njihove izbavi Izrailj iz ruku Filistejskih; i bi mir meðu Izrailjem i Amorejima.

15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

A Samuilo suðaše Izrailju svega vijeka svojega.

16 He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.

I iduæi svake godine obilažaše Vetilj i Galgal i Mispu, i suðaše Izrailju u svijem tijem mjestima.

17 His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to the LORD.

Potom se vraæaše u Ramu, jer ondje bijaše kuæa njegova, i suðaše ondje Izrailju, i ondje naèini oltar Gospodu.
