1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel told to all the people of Israel the messages that God gave him. At that time the Israeli army went to fight against the army of the Philistine people. The Israeli army set up their tents at Ebenezer, and the Philistine army set up their tents at Aphek.
| و کلام سموئیل به تمامی اسرائیل رسید. واسرائیل به مقابله فلسطینیان در جنگ بیرون آمده، نزد ابن عزر اردو زدند، و فلسطینیان در افیق فرود آمدند. | ۱ |
2 The Philistine army attacked the Israeli army, and as the battle continued, the Philistines defeated the Israelis and killed about 4,000 of their soldiers.
| و فلسطینیان در مقابل اسرائیل صف آرایی کردند، و چون جنگ درپیوستند، اسرائیل از حضور فلسطینیان شکست خوردند، و در معرکه به قدر چهار هزار نفر را درمیدان کشتند. | ۲ |
3 When the remaining Israeli soldiers returned to their camp, the Israeli elders/leaders said, “Why did Yahweh allow the Philistine army to defeat us today? We should bring the chest that contains the Ten Commandments here from Shiloh, in order that Yahweh will go with us [when we go to the battle again, and] in order that our enemies will not defeat us again!”
| و چون قوم به لشکرگاه رسیدند، مشایخ اسرائیل گفتند: «چرا امروز خداوند ما رااز حضور فلسطینیان شکست داد؟ پس تابوت عهد خداوند را از شیلوه نزد خود بیاوریم تا درمیان ما آمده، ما را از دست دشمنان ما نجات دهد.» | ۳ |
4 So the soldiers did that. They sent some men to Shiloh, and those men brought back the chest that contained the Ten Commandments. [They thought that if they did that, Yahweh would help them. They believed that] Yahweh sat on a throne between the statues of winged creatures [that were on top of] the chest that Yahweh Almighty [had given them]. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, went with them.
| و قوم به شیلوه فرستاده، تابوت عهد یهوه صبایوت را که در میان کروبیان ساکن است از آنجاآوردند، و دو پسر عیلی حفنی و فینحاس درآنجا با تابوت عهد خدا بودند. | ۴ |
5 When the Israeli people saw [the men bringing] the box into their camp, they were so happy that they shouted loudly. They shouted so loudly that they made the ground shake!
| و چون تابوت عهد خداوند به لشکرگاه داخل شد، جمیع اسرائیل صدای بلند زدند به حدی که زمین متزلزل شد. | ۵ |
6 The Philistines asked, “What are the people in the Hebrew camp shouting about?” Someone told them that they were shouting because the chest that contained the Ten Commandments of Yahweh had been brought to them.
| و چون فلسطینیان آواز صدا را شنیدند، گفتند: «این آواز صدای بلنددر اردوی عبرانیان چیست؟» پس فهمیدند که تابوت خداوند به اردو آمده است. | ۶ |
7 Then the Philistines became very afraid. They said, “One of the Israelis’ gods has come into their camp [to help them] We are in big trouble now! Nothing like this has happened to us before!
| و فلسطینیان ترسیدند زیرا گفتند: «خدا به اردو آمده است» و گفتند: «وای بر ما، زیرا قبل از این‌چنین چیزی واقع نشده است! | ۷ |
8 (Who can/Can anyone) save us from their powerful gods [RHQ]? They are the gods who struck the people of Egypt with many plagues [before the Israelis left Egypt and traveled] through the desert.
| وای بر ما، کیست که ما را ازدست این خدایان زورآور رهایی دهد، همین خدایانند که مصریان را در بیابان به همه بلایا مبتلاساختند. | ۸ |
9 You Philistine men, be courageous! Fight very hard! If you do not do that, [they will defeat us, and then] you will become their slaves, just like they have been our slaves previously!”
| ای فلسطینیان خویشتن را تقویت داده، مردان باشید مبادا عبرانیان را بندگی کنید، چنانکه ایشان شما را بندگی نمودند، پس مردان شوید و جنگ کنید.» | ۹ |
10 So the Philistine men fought very hard, and they defeated the Israelis. They killed 30,000 Israeli soldiers, and the other Israeli soldiers fled and ran away to their tents.
| پس فلسطینیان جنگ کردند و اسرائیل شکست خورده، هر یک به خیمه خود فرار کردندو کشتار بسیار عظیمی شد، و از اسرائیل سی هزار پیاده کشته شدند. | ۱۰ |
11 The Philistines captured the sacred chest, and they killed Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas.
| و تابوت خدا گرفته شد، و دو پسر عیلی حفنی و فینحاس کشته شدند. | ۱۱ |
12 On that same day, one man of the tribe [descended from] Benjamin tore his clothes and threw dirt on his head [to show that he was very sad]. He ran from the place where the armies were fighting, and he arrived at Shiloh late [that afternoon].
| و مردی بنیامینی از لشکر دویده، در همان روز با جامه دریده و خاک بر سر ریخته، به شیلوه آمد. | ۱۲ |
13 Eli was waiting beside the road. [He wanted to hear news about the battle, and] he was also very anxious to know if anything bad had happened to God’s sacred chest. When the messenger arrived and told people what had happened, everyone in the town started to cry loudly.
| و چون وارد شد اینک عیلی به کنار راه برکرسی خود مراقب نشسته، زیرا که دلش درباره تابوت خدا مضطرب می‌بود. و چون آن مرد به شهر داخل شده، خبر داد، تمامی شهر نعره زدند. | ۱۳ |
14 Eli asked, “Why are they making all that noise?” The messenger ran over to Eli and told him the news.
| و چون عیلی آواز نعره را شنید، گفت: «این آواز هنگامه چیست؟» پس آن مرد شتافته، عیلی را خبر داد. | ۱۴ |
15 At that time, Eli was 98 years old, and he was blind.
| و عیلی نود و هشت ساله بود وچشمانش تار شده، نمی توانست دید. | ۱۵ |
16 The messenger said to Eli, “I have just come from where the armies were fighting. I left there earlier today.” Eli asked, “What happened?”
| پس آن مرد به عیلی گفت: «منم که از لشکرآمده، و من امروز از لشکر فرار کرده‌ام.» گفت: «ای پسرم کار چگونه گذشت؟» | ۱۶ |
17 The man replied, “The Philistines defeated our Israeli army. They killed thousands of our soldiers, and the others ran away. The Philistines killed your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. They also captured God’s sacred chest.”
| و آن خبرآورنده در جواب گفت: «اسرائیل از حضورفلسطینیان فرار کردند، و شکست عظیمی هم درقوم واقع شد، و نیز دو پسرت حفنی و فینحاس مردند و تابوت عهد خدا گرفته شد.» | ۱۷ |
18 Eli was very old, and he was very fat; and when he heard what had happened to the sacred chest, he fell backward from his chair beside the town gate. His neck was broken and he died. He had led the Israeli people for 40 years before he died.
| و چون ازتابوت خدا خبر داد، عیلی از کرسی خود به پهلوی دروازه به پشت افتاده، گردنش بشکست وبمرد، زیرا که مردی پیر و سنگین بود و چهل سال بر اسرائیل داوری کرده بود. | ۱۸ |
19 The wife/widow of Eli’s son Phinehas was pregnant, and it was almost time for her to give birth to her baby. When she heard that God’s sacred chest had been captured and that her husband and her father-in-law were dead, her labor pains suddenly began. She quickly gave birth to a boy.
| و عروس او، زن فینحاس که حامله و نزدیک به زاییدن بود، چون خبر‌گرفتن تابوت خدا و مرگ پدر شوهرش وشوهرش را شنید، خم شده، زایید زیرا که درد زه او را بگرفت. | ۱۹ |
20 The women who were helping her tried to encourage her by saying to her, “You have given birth to a son!” But she did not pay any attention [DOU] to what they said.
| و در وقت مردنش زنانی که نزدوی ایستاده بودند، گفتند: «مترس زیرا که پسرزاییدی، » اما او جواب نداد و اعتنا ننمود. | ۲۰ |
21 She named the boy Ichabod, which means ‘no glory’, because she said, “[God’s] glory has departed from Israel.” She said that because God’s sacred chest had been captured and because her husband and her father-in-law had died.
| وپسر را ایخابود نام نهاده، گفت: «جلال از اسرائیل زایل شد»، چونکه تابوت خدا گرفته شده بود و به‌سبب پدر شوهرش و شوهرش. | ۲۱ |
22 She said, “[God’s] glory has left Israel, because God’s sacred chest has been captured!” And then she died.
| پس گفت: «جلال از اسرائیل زایل شد زیرا که تابوت خداگرفته شده است.» | ۲۲ |
