1 Samuel 6
1 The ark was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
I bijaše kovèeg Gospodnji u zemlji Filistejskoj sedam mjeseca.
2 The Philistines called for the priests, and for the diviners, and for the magicians, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place."
Tada dozvaše Filisteji sveštenike i vraèe, pa im rekoše: šta æemo èiniti s kovèegom Gospodnjim? nauèite nas kako æemo ga poslati natrag na njegovo mjesto.
3 And they said, "If you are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to him a reparation, then you shall be healed and he will be reconciled to you. Will not, then, his hand be removed from you?"
A oni rekoše: ako æete natrag poslati kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva, ne šaljite ga prazna, nego uza nj podajte prinos za grijeh; tada æete ozdraviti i doznaæete zašto se ruka njegova nije odmakla od vas.
4 Then they said, "What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?" They said, "Five golden tumors, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on you and your lords.
A oni rekoše: kakav æemo mu dati prinos za grijeh? A oni rekoše: prema broju kneževina Filistejskih pet zlatnijeh šuljeva i pet zlatnijeh miševa; jer je zlo jednako na svjema vama i na knezovima vašim.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of the mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
Naèinite dakle slike od svojih šuljeva i slike od miševa koji kvare zemlju, i podajte slavu Bogu Izrailjevu. Može biti da æe ulakšati ruku svoju nad vama i nad bogovima vašim i nad zemljom vašom.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
I zašto biste bili uporna srca kao što bijahu uporna srca Misirci i Faraon? i pošto uèini èudesa na njima, eda li ih tada ne pustiše, te otidoše?
7 "Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart, and two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and take their calves from them back home;
Zato naèinite jedna kola nova, i uzmite dvije krave dojilice, na kojima još nije bio jaram, pa upregnite krave u kola, a telad njihovu odvedite od njih kuæi.
8 and take the ark, and lay it on the cart; and put the figures of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
Pa uzmite kovèeg Gospodnji i metnite ga na kola; a zaklade zlatne što æete mu dati za grijeh metnite u kovèežiæ pokraj njega, i pustite ga neka ide.
9 And watch; if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us."
I gledajte: ako poðe putem k meði svojoj u Vet-Semes, on nam je uèinio ovo veliko zlo; ako li ne poðe tako, onda æemo znati da nas se nije dohvatila ruka njegova, nego nam se dogodilo sluèajno.
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;
I uèiniše tako oni ljudi; i uzevši dvije krave dojilice upregoše ih u kola, a telad njihovu zatvoriše kod kuæe.
11 and they put the ark on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
I metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji na kola, i mali kovèežiæ s mišima zlatnijem i sa slikama svojih šuljeva.
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh; they went along the highway, mooing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the territory of Beth Shemesh.
I poðoše krave pravo putem u Vet-Semes, i jednako iðahu istijem putem muèuæi i ne svræuæi ni nadesno ni nalijevo; a knezovi Filistejski iðahu za njima do meðe Vet-Semeske.
13 And those of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to meet it.
A Vet-Semešani žnjahu pšenicu u dolini, i podigavši oèi svoje vidješe kovèeg, i obradovaše se vidjevši ga.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stopped there near a large rock. And they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to the LORD.
I doðoše kola na njivu Isusa Vet-Semešanina, i stadoše ondje. A bijaše ondje velik kamen; i iscjepaše drva od kola, i prinesoše one krave na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu.
15 The Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the chest that was with it, in which the articles of gold were, and put them on the large rock. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
A Leviti snimivši kovèeg Gospodnji i kovèežiæ što bješe pokraj njega, u kojem bijahu zakladi zlatni, metnuše na onaj veliki kamen; a ljudi iz Vet-Semesa gotoviše žrtve paljenice i prinosiše žrtve Gospodu onaj dan.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
A to vidjevši pet knezova Filistejskih vratiše se u Akaron isti dan.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
A ovo bjehu zlatni šuljevi koje dadoše Filisteji Gospodu za grijeh: za Azot jedan, za Gazu jedan, za Askalon jedan, za Gat jedan, za Akaron jedan.
18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large rock on which they set down the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
I miši zlatni bjehu prema broju svijeh gradova Filistejskih, u pet kneževina, svijeh zidanijeh gradova i sela neograðenijeh do velikoga kamena, na koji metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji, i koji je i danas u polju Isusa Vet-Semešanina.
19 But the sons of Jeconiah did not rejoice with the people of Beth Shemesh when they saw the ark of the LORD. So he struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Ali pobi Gospod neke izmeðu Vet-Semešana koji zagledaše u kovèeg Gospodnji, i pobi iz naroda pedeset tisuæa i sedamdeset ljudi. I plaka narod što ga Gospod udari velikom pogiblju.
20 And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy thing? And to whom should he go up from us?"
I ljudi iz Vet-Semesa rekoše: ko može ostati pred tijem Gospodom Bogom svetijem? i ka kome æe otiæi od nas?
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down, and bring it up to yourselves."
I poslaše poslanike k stanovnicima Kirijat-Jarimskim govoreæi: donesoše natrag Filisteji kovèeg Gospodnji, hodite, odnesite ga k sebi.
