< 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.
En ces jours-là, les Philistins se rassemblèrent pour combattre Israël; et Israël sortit à leur rencontre; il campa vers Abenézer; de leur côté, les ennemis étaient campés en Aphec.
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.
Et les Philistins se déployèrent devant Israël; l'on en vint aux mains, et Israël plia, laissant quatre mille hommes sur le champ de bataille.
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.
Le peuple rentra dans le camp, et les enfants d'Israël dirent: Pourquoi le Seigneur aujourd'hui nous a-t-il fait tomber devant les Philistins? Prenons à Silo l'arche de notre Dieu; qu'elle vienne au milieu de nous, elle nous sauvera des mains de nos ennemis.
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.
Le peuple envoya donc en Silo, et l'on en apporta l'arche du Seigneur qui s'y tient assis entre les chérubins; les deux fils d'Héli, Ophni et Phinéès, accompagnaient l'arche.
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.
Lorsque l'arche du Seigneur arriva dans le camp, tout le peuple d'Israël cria tout d'une voix, et la terre en retentit.
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.
Les Philistins ouïrent cette clameur, et ils dirent: D'où viennent ces grands cris dans le camp des Hébreux? Et ils surent que l'arche du Seigneur était entrée au camp.
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.
Alors, ils eurent crainte et ils dirent: Ce sont leurs dieux qui sont venus vers eux dans le camp; malheur à nous! sauvez-nous aujourd'hui, Seigneur, car rien de pareil n'est avenu précédemment.
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.
Malheur à nous! qui nous sauvera des mains de ces dieux inflexibles? Ce sont les dieux qui ont frappé l'Égypte de toutes sortes de plaies dans le désert.
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.
Soyez forts, Philistins, agissez en hommes, afin que les Hébreux ne vous asservissent pas comme vous les avez asservis; oui, soyez hommes et combattez- les.
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].
Et ils les combattirent; et Israël fut vaincu; et chacun s'enfuit en sa demeure. Et la plaie fut bien grande: trente mille combattants d'Israël succombèrent.
11 And [the] ark of God it was taken and [the] two [the] sons of Eli they died Hophni and Phinehas.
Et l'arche de Dieu fut prise, et les deux fils d'Héli, Ophni et Phinéès, moururent.
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.
Un homme de Jéminé, en ce jour-là, courut du champ de bataille à Silo, les vêtements déchirés, la tête couverte de cendre.
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.
Il arriva, et il vit Héli sur son siège, devant sa porte, regardant le chemin, car son cœur était plein d'inquiétude à cause de l'arche de Dieu; or, l'homme entra dans la ville pour apporter les nouvelles, et la ville jeta les hauts cris.
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.
Héli entendit ces cris de détresse, et il dit: Quelle est cette clameur? Et l'homme s'étant hâté se montra, et lui raconta tout.
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.
Héli avait quatre-vingt-dix ans; ses yeux étaient sans force, il n'y voyait plus.
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.
Quand l'homme, s'étant hâté, se montra et lui dit: C'est moi qui arrive de l'armée; aujourd'hui, je me suis enfui comme les autres du champ de bataille; et Héli lui dit: Qu'est-il donc avenu, mon fils?
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.
Le jeune homme répondit et il dit: Tout Israël a pris la fuite devant les Philistins; le peuple a été frappé d'une grande plaie, tes deux fils sont morts, et l'arche de Dieu est prise.
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].
Dès que l'homme eut parlé de l'arche de Dieu, le prêtre tomba de son siège à la renverse devant la porte, il se cassa les reins, et il mourut; car il était avancé en âge et pesant; il y avait vingt ans qu'il jugeait Israël.
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.
Sa bru, femme de Phinéès, grosse et près d'enfanter, entendit que l'arche était prise, que son beau-père mourait, que son mari avait été tué; elle pleura et elle accoucha, car les douleurs de l'enfantement soudain lui vinrent.
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.
Comme elle allait mourir, les femmes qui l'entouraient lui dirent: N'aie point de crainte, car tu as enfanté un fils; et elle ne répondit pas: son cœur ne sentait plus.
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.
Et l'on appela l'enfant Ibarchabotb, à cause de l'arche de Dieu, à cause du beau-père de la femme, et à cause de son mari.
22 And she said it has gone into exile glory from Israel for it has been taken [the] ark of God.
Et les femmes dirent: La gloire d'Israël s'en est allée, puisque l'arche du Seigneur a été prise.
