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.
Beseda od Samuela je prišla k vsemu Izraelu. Torej Izrael je odšel ven zoper Filistejce, da se bojujejo in utaborili so se poleg Eben Ezerja. Filistejci pa so se utaborili v Aféku.
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.
Filistejci so se razporedili zoper Izraela in ko so se pridružili bitki, je bil Izrael udarjen pred Filistejci in usmrtili so izmed vojske na polju okoli štiri tisoč mož.
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!”
Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v tabor, so starešine Izraela rekli: »Zakaj nas je Gospod danes udaril pred Filistejci? Skrinjo Gospodove zaveze prinesimo iz Šila k sebi, da ko ta pride med nas, nas ta lahko reši iz roke naših sovražnikov.«
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.
Tako je ljudstvo poslalo v Šilo, da bi od tam lahko prinesli skrinjo zaveze Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva med kerubi, in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila tam s skrinjo Božje zaveze.
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!
Ko je v tabor prišla skrinja Gospodove zaveze, je ves Izrael vriskal z močnim vriskom, tako da je zemlja ponovno zadonela.
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.
Ko so Filistejci slišali hrup vriska, so rekli: »Kaj pomeni hrup tega močnega vriska v taboru Hebrejcev?« Razumeli so, da je v tabor prišla Gospodova skrinja.
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!
Filistejci so bili prestrašeni, kajti rekli so: »Bog je prišel v tabor.« Rekli so: »Gorje nam! Kajti poprej še ni bilo takšne stvari.
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.
Gorje nam! Kdo nas bo rešil iz roke teh mogočnih Bogov? To so Bogovi, ki so v divjini udarili Egipčane z vsemi nadlogami.
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!”
Bodite močni in obnašajte se kakor možje, oh vi Filistejci, da ne bomo služabniki Hebrejcem, kakor so bili oni vam. Obnašajte se kakor možje in se borite.«
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.
Filistejci so se borili in Izrael je bil udarjen in zbežali so vsak mož v svoj šotor, in bil je zelo velik pokol, kajti v Izraelu je padlo trideset tisoč pešcev.
11 The Philistines captured the sacred chest, and they killed Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas.
Božja skrinja je bila vzeta in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila ubita.
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].
Mož iz Benjamina pa je stekel iz vojske in še isti dan prišel v Šilo s pretrganimi oblačili in prstjo na svoji glavi.
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.
Ko je prišel, glej, je Éli sedel na sedežu in gledal ob poti, kajti njegovo srce je trepetalo za Božjo skrinjo. Ko je mož prišel v mesto in to povedal, je celotno mesto zavpilo.
14 Eli asked, “Why are they making all that noise?” The messenger ran over to Eli and told him the news.
Ko je Éli slišal hrup vpitja, je rekel: »Kaj pomeni zvok tega nemira?« Mož je v naglici prišel in povedal Éliju.
15 At that time, Eli was 98 years old, and he was blind.
Torej Éli je bil star osemindevetdeset let in njegove oči so bile zatemnjene, da ni mogel videti.
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?”
Mož je rekel Éliju: »Jaz sem tisti, ki je prišel iz vojske in danes sem pobegnil iz vojske.« On pa je rekel: »Kaj je tam storjeno, moj sin?«
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.”
Poslanec je odgovoril in rekel: »Izrael je pobegnil pred Filistejci in tam je bil prav tako velik pokol med ljudstvom in tudi tvoja sinova, Hofní in Pinhás sta mrtva in Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko je omenil Božjo skrinjo, da je padel nazaj s stola ob strani velikih vrat in njegov vrat se je zlomil in je umrl, kajti bil je starec in težak. Izraelu je sodil štirideset let.
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.
Njegova snaha, Pinhásova soproga, je bila z otrokom, blizu časa poroda. Ko je slišala novice, da je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in da sta bila njen tast in njen mož mrtva, se je sklonila in bila v porodnih mukah, kajti njene bolečine so prišle nadnjo.
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.
Okoli časa njene smrti so ji ženske, ki so stale ob njej, rekle: »Ne boj se, kajti rodila si sina.« Toda ona ni odgovorila niti se na to ni ozirala.
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.
Otroka je imenovala Ikabód, rekoč: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, « ker je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in zaradi njenega tasta in njenega soproga.
22 She said, “[God’s] glory has left Israel, because God’s sacred chest has been captured!” And then she died.
Rekla je: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, kajti Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
