1 Samuel 4
1 And it came [the] word of Samuel to all Israel and it went out Israel to meet [the] Philistines for battle and they encamped at Eben-ezer and [the] Philistines they encamped at Aphek.
撒慕爾的話傳遍了全以色列。當時厄里已很老了，他的兩個兒子的品行在上主面前，比以前更壞了。那時，培肋舍特人集合起來攻打以色列人，以色列人便出來還擊他們，在厄本厄則爾旁紮了營，當時培肋舍特人已在阿費克紮了營。
2 And they deployed [the] Philistines to meet Israel and it spread out the battle and it was defeated Israel before [the] Philistines and they struck down in the battle line in the field about four thousand man.
培肋舍特人就擺列陣勢攻打以色列人，戰鬥十分激烈；以色列人為培肋舍特打敗，在平原陣地上被擊斃的約有四千人。
3 And it came the people into the camp and they said [the] elders of Israel why? has he defeated us Yahweh this day before [the] Philistines let us bring to ourselves from Shiloh [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh so it may come in midst our so it may deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our.
軍隊回營後，以色列的長老說：「為什麼上主今天讓我們被培肋舍特人打敗﹖我們應從史羅把上主的約櫃抬來，讓約櫃來到我們中間，拯救我們擺脫敵人的壓迫。」
4 And it sent the people Shiloh and they brought from there [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh of hosts [who] sits the cherubim and [were] there [the] two [the] sons of Eli with [the] ark of [the] covenant of God Hophni and Phinehas.
於是軍隊就派人到史羅去，從那裏把坐於革魯賓上的萬軍之上主的約櫃抬來；厄里的兩個兒子曷弗尼和丕乃哈斯也跟天主的約櫃來了。
5 And it was when came [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh into the camp and they shouted all Israel a shout great and it was stirred the ground.
當上主的約櫃來到營內的時候，全以色列民就大聲歡呼，大地也震動了。
6 And they heard [the] Philistines [the] sound of the shout and they said what? [is] [the] sound of the shout great this in [the] camp of the Hebrews and they knew that [the] ark of Yahweh it had come into the camp.
培肋舍特人一聽見這樣的呼聲，就說：「希伯來人在營中為什麼這樣大聲歡呼﹖」後來纔知道，是上主的約櫃來到了他們的營中。
7 And they were afraid the Philistines for they said he has come a god into the camp and they said woe! to us for not it has been like this yesterday three days ago.
培肋舍特人大為震驚，遂說：「希伯來人的神來到了他們的營中! 」繼而喊說：「我們有禍了! 至今從未有過這樣的事!
8 Woe! to us who? will he deliver us from [the] hand of the gods mighty these these they [are] the gods who struck Egypt with every plague in the wilderness.
我們有禍了! 誰能從這大能的神手中救出我們呢﹖用各樣災禍在曠野中打擊了埃及人的，就是這個神啊!
9 Show yourselves strong and become men O Philistines lest you should serve the Hebrews just as they have served you and you will become men and you will fight.
培肋舍特人哪﹖你們應加強，要英勇，免得你們做希伯來人的奴才，像他們做過你們的奴才一樣。你們要英勇，奮鬥作戰! 」
10 And they fought [the] Philistines and it was defeated Israel and they fled each man to own tents his and it was the slaughter great exceedingly and he fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldier[s].
培肋舍特人就開始進攻，以色列人中陣亡的步兵有三萬；
11 And [the] ark of God it was taken and [the] two [the] sons of Eli they died Hophni and Phinehas.
天主的約櫃也被劫了去，厄里的兩個兒子曷弗尼和丕乃哈斯也同時陣亡了。
12 And he ran [the] man of Benjamin from the battle line and he came Shiloh on the day that and garments his [were] torn and earth [was] on head his.
有個本雅明人從陣地逃出，當天來到了史羅，衣服已撕破，頭上滿是灰塵。
13 And he came and there! Eli [was] sitting on the seat ([the] side of *Q(K)*) [the] road watching for it was heart his trembling on [the] ark of God and the man he came to tell in the city and it cried out all the city.
他來到時，見厄里在門旁坐在椅子上，向大道觀望，因為他為天主的約櫃很是放心不下。那人一來到，就在城內佈開這凶信，全城因此哀號起來；
14 And he heard Eli [the] sound of the outcry and he said what? [is] [the] sound of the uproar this and the man he hurried and he came and he told to Eli.
厄里一聽見哀號聲，就問說：「這樣喧嚷，是什麼事﹖」那人就趕快前來報告給厄里，──
15 And Eli [was] a son of ninety and eight year[s] and eyes his it was set and not he was able to see.
那時厄里已是九十八歲的人，眼睛雖然瞪著，卻什麼也看不見。──
16 And he said the man to Eli I [am] the [one who] comes from the battle line and I from the battle line I have fled this day and he said what? was it the word O son my.
對厄里說：「我是從營中來的，今天剛從戰場上逃回來的。」厄里問說：「我兒，事情怎樣﹖」
17 And he answered the bearer of news and he said it has fled Israel before [the] Philistines and also a slaughter great it has been among the people and also [the] two sons your they have died Hophni and Phinehas and [the] ark of God it has been taken.
報信的答說：「以色列人在培肋舍特人面前大敗，人民傷亡極大，你的兩個兒子也死了，天主的約櫃也被劫去了。」
18 And it was when brought to remembrance he - [the] ark of God and he fell from on the seat backwards behind - [the] side of the gate and it was broken neck his and he died for he was old the man and heavy and he he had judged Israel forty year[s].
他一提到天主的約櫃，厄里就從椅子上往後一仰，跌在門檻上，跌斷了頸項，死了，因為他已年老，且又肥胖。──他四十年之久做了以色列人的民長。
19 And daughter-in-law his [the] wife of Phinehas [was] pregnant to give birth and she heard the report concerning [the] being taken of [the] ark of God and he had died father-in-law her and husband her and she bowed down and she gave birth for they turned on her pangs her.
他的兒媳，丕乃哈斯的妻子，已經懷孕，快要臨盆；一聽說天主的約櫃被劫去，他的公公和丈夫已死的消息，突然感到陣痛，就彎下身去生產了。
20 And about [the] time of dying she and they spoke those [who] were standing over her may not you be afraid for a son you have borne and not she answered and not she set heart her.
她臨死時，侍立在旁的婦女向她說：「不必害怕，你生了一個兒子! 」她沒有答應，也沒有留意，
21 And she called the lad I-chabod saying it has gone into exile glory from Israel because of [the] being taken of [the] ark of God and because of father-in-law her and husband her.
只給孩子取名叫依加波得，說：「光榮已遠離了以色列。」這是指天主的約櫃，她的公公和丈夫都已被劫去，
22 And she said it has gone into exile glory from Israel for it has been taken [the] ark of God.
所以她說：「光榮已遠離了以色列，」因為天主的約櫃已被劫去。
