< 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.
Pada waktu itu, terjadilah perang antara bangsa Israel dan bangsa Filistin. Pasukan Israel berkemah di Eben Haezer, sedangkan pasukan Filistin berkemah di Afek.
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.
Ketika pasukan Filistin menyerang pasukan Israel dan pertempuran meluas di daerah itu, Israel dikalahkan oleh mereka. Tentara Filistin membunuh kira-kira empat ribu tentara Israel di medan pertempuran.
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.
Pada saat para tentara kembali ke perkemahan, para tua-tua bangsa Israel bertanya, “Mengapa TUHAN mengizinkan bangsa Filistin mengalahkan kita hari ini?! Mari kita membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN dari Silo. Kalau peti itu bersama kita, pasti kita diselamatkan dari tangan musuh-musuh kita.”
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.
Karena itu, beberapa orang tentara diutus ke Silo untuk mengambil peti perjanjian TUHAN Panglima Semesta, yaitu Allah yang bertakhta di atas kedua bentuk malaikat penjaga di penutup peti itu. Dua anak lelaki Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas, mengikuti mereka membawa peti itu ke perkemahan.
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.
Saat peti perjanjian TUHAN tiba di perkemahan, seluruh pasukan Israel berteriak begitu keras sampai tanah berguncang.
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.
Pasukan Filistin mendengarkan bunyi sorak itu dan berkata, “Mengapa terdengar suara teriakan begitu di perkemahan Israel?” Lalu mereka mendengar bahwa peti TUHAN sudah tiba di perkemahan Israel. Saat menyadari hal itu,
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.
mereka menjadi sangat takut dan berkata satu sama yang lain, “Wah, celakalah kita! Dewa-dewa Israel sudah datang ke perkemahan mereka! Bencana seperti ini belum pernah terjadi kepada kita! Siapakah dewa kita yang dapat melepaskan kita dari tangan dewa-dewa mereka yang begitu perkasa? Dewa-dewa mereka inilah yang menghancurkan bangsa Mesir dengan berbagai wabah penyakit di padang belantara!
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.
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.
Tetapi hai orang Filistin, tetaplah kita kuat dan bertindaklah seperti laki-laki, atau kalian akan menjadi budak orang Israel, seperti mereka sudah menjadi budak kita! Marilah kita bertindak seperti laki-laki yang gagah perkasa dan berperanglah!”
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].
Maka mereka bertempur lebih keras lagi, sehingga pasukan Filistin mengalahkan Israel. Sangat banyak tentara Israel yang mati. Tiga puluh ribu tentara Israel terbunuh, dan tentara yang selamat melarikan diri pulang.
11 And [the] ark of God it was taken and [the] two [the] sons of Eli they died Hophni and Phinehas.
Hofni dan Pinehas dibunuh, dan peti perjanjian TUHAN diambil orang Filistin.
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.
Pada hari itu seorang tentara dari suku Benyamin melarikan diri dari barisan pertempuran ke Silo. Dia sudah merobek pakaiannya dan menaruh debu di kepalanya sebagai tanda berdukacita.
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.
Saat dia tiba di Silo, Eli sedang duduk di bangkunya memperhatikan dari sisi jalan, karena dia sangat mengkuatirkan keadaan peti perjanjian TUHAN. Saat orang itu memasuki kota untuk memberikan laporan, semua penduduk mulai meratap.
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.
Mendengar tangisan itu, Eli bertanya, “Suara keributan apa ini?” Usia Eli saat itu sembilan puluh delapan tahun dan matanya sudah tidak bisa melihat. Orang itu segera datang dan memberitahu Eli,
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.
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.
“Saya tadi berhasil melarikan diri dari pertempuran dan sampai ke sini!” Eli bertanya, “Anakku, apa yang terjadi di sana?”
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.
Pembawa pesan itu berkata, “Kami tentara Israel melarikan diri dari pengejaran pasukan Filistin! Israel mengalami kekalahan besar! Hofni dan Pinehas sudah mati, dan peti perjanjian TUHAN dirampas bangsa Filistin!”
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].
Saat orang itu menyebut ‘peti perjanjian TUHAN’, Eli jatuh ke belakang dari kursinya di samping pintu gerbang. Lehernya patah dan dia meninggal, karena dia sangat tua dan badannya gemuk. Eli sudah menjadi hakim bagi umat Israel selama empat puluh tahun.
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.
Menantunya, yaitu istri Pinehas, sedang hamil tua dan hampir melahirkan. Saat dia mendengar kabar bahwa peti perjanjian TUHAN sudah dirampas oleh bangsa Filistin, dan bahwa ayah mertua serta suaminya meninggal, perempuan itu langsung merasakan sakit melahirkan. Namun, sakit bersalinnya itu terlalu berat bagi dia.
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.
Ketika dia hampir mati, para wanita yang membantu dia untuk melahirkan berkata, “Jangan takut! Kamu baru saja melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki!” Tetapi dia tidak menjawab ataupun memperhatikan perkataan itu.
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.
Istri Pinehas memberi nama anak itu Ikabod, karena katanya, “Kemuliaan Allah sudah hilang dari Israel.” Dia berkata demikian karena peti perjanjian TUHAN sudah dirampas, dan karena kematian ayah mertua serta suaminya.
22 And she said it has gone into exile glory from Israel for it has been taken [the] ark of God.
Dengan nafas terakhir, sekali lagi dia mengatakan, “Kemuliaan Allah sudah hilang dari Israel, karena peti perjanjian TUHAN sudah dirampas.”
