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.
以色列人出去與非利士人打仗，安營在以便以謝；非利士人安營在亞弗。
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.
非利士人向以色列人擺陣。兩軍交戰的時候，以色列人敗在非利士人面前；非利士人在戰場上殺了他們的軍兵約有四千人。
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.
百姓回到營裏，以色列的長老說：「耶和華今日為何使我們敗在非利士人面前呢？我們不如將耶和華的約櫃從示羅抬到我們這裏來，好在我們中間救我們脫離敵人的手。」
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.
於是百姓打發人到示羅，從那裏將坐在二基路伯上萬軍之耶和華的約櫃抬來。以利的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈與上帝的約櫃同來。
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.
耶和華的約櫃到了營中，以色列眾人就大聲歡呼，地便震動。
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.
非利士人聽見歡呼的聲音，就說：「在希伯來人營裏大聲歡呼，是甚麼緣故呢？」隨後就知道耶和華的約櫃到了營中。
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.
非利士人就懼怕起來，說：「有神到了他們營中」；又說：「我們有禍了！向來不曾有這樣的事。
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！誰能救我們脫離這些大能之神的手呢？從前在曠野用各樣災殃擊打埃及人的，就是這些神。
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.
非利士人哪，你們要剛強，要作大丈夫，免得作希伯來人的奴僕，如同他們作你們的奴僕一樣。你們要作大丈夫，與他們爭戰。」
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].
非利士人和以色列人打仗，以色列人敗了，各向各家奔逃，被殺的人甚多，以色列的步兵仆倒了三萬。
11 And [the] ark of God it was taken and [the] two [the] sons of Eli they died Hophni and Phinehas.
上帝的約櫃被擄去，以利的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈也都被殺了。
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.
當日，有一個便雅憫人從陣上逃跑，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，來到示羅。
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.
到了的時候，以利正在道旁坐在自己的位上觀望，為上帝的約櫃心裏擔憂。那人進城報信，合城的人就都呼喊起來。
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.
以利聽見呼喊的聲音就問說：「這喧嚷是甚麼緣故呢？」那人急忙來報信給以利。
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.
那時以利九十八歲了，眼目發直，不能看見。
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.
那人對以利說：「我是從陣上來的，今日我從陣上逃回。」以利說：「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.
報信的回答說：「以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，民中被殺的甚多！你的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈也都死了，並且上帝的約櫃被擄去。」
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].
他一提上帝的約櫃，以利就從他的位上往後跌倒，在門旁折斷頸項而死；因為他年紀老邁，身體沉重。以利作以色列的士師四十年。
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.
以利的兒婦、非尼哈的妻懷孕將到產期，她聽見上帝的約櫃被擄去，公公和丈夫都死了，就猛然疼痛，曲身生產；
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.
將要死的時候，旁邊站着的婦人們對她說：「不要怕！你生了男孩子了。」她卻不回答，也不放在心上。
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.
她給孩子起名叫以迦博，說：「榮耀離開以色列了！」這是因上帝的約櫃被擄去，又因她公公和丈夫都死了。
22 And she said it has gone into exile glory from Israel for it has been taken [the] ark of God.
她又說：「榮耀離開以色列，因為上帝的約櫃被擄去了。」
