1 Samuel 4
1 The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
Un Samuēls sludināja visam Israēlim Dieva vārdu. Un Israēls izgāja uz karu pret Fīlistiem un apmetās pie EbenEcera. Un Fīlisti apmetās pie Afekas.
2 The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
Un Fīlisti taisījās Israēlim pretī, un tā kaušanās vairojās un izplētās, un Israēls no Fīlistiem tapa sakauts, un tie tai kaušanā uz lauka nokāva līdz četrtūkstoš vīrus.
3 When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come amongst us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”
Un tie ļaudis nāca lēģerī, un Israēla vecaji sacīja: kāpēc Tas Kungs mūs šodien kāvis Fīlistu priekšā? Ņemsim pie sevis Tā Kunga derības šķirstu no Šīlo, ka Viņš nāk mūsu vidū un mūs izglābj no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
Tad tie ļaudis sūtīja uz Šīlo un atveda no turienes Tā Kunga Cebaot derības šķirstu, (Tā Kunga), kas sēž pār ķerubiem, un abi Elus dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, bija līdz, klāt pie Dieva derības šķirsta.
5 When the ark of the LORD’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
Kad nu Tā Kunga derības šķirsts nāca lēģerī, tad viss Israēls gavilēja ar lielu gavilēšanu, tā ka zeme drebēja.
6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that the LORD’s ark had come into the camp.
Un kad Fīlisti to gavilēšanu dzirdēja, tad tie sacīja: kas tā par lielu gavilēšanas skaņu Ebreju lēģeri? Tad tie manīja, Tā Kunga šķirstu esam nākušu lēģerī.
7 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.
Un Fīlisti bijās un sacīja: Dievs nācis lēģerī. Un tie sacīja: Ak vai, mums! Jo līdz šim tā nav noticis.
8 Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
Ak vai, mums! Kas mūs izpestīs no šo vareno dievu rokas? Šie ir tie dievi, kas ēģiptiešus situši ar visādām mocībām tuksnesī.
9 Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”
Esiet stipri un turaties kā vīri, jūs Fīlisti, ka jums Ebrejiem nav jākalpo, tā kā tie jums kalpojuši, Turaties kā vīri un kaujaties!
10 The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.
Tad Fīlisti kāvās un Israēls tapa sakauts un bēga ikviens uz savu dzīvokli. Un tur notika varen liela kaušana, jo no Israēla krita trīsdesmit tūkstoš kājnieki.
11 God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
Un Dieva šķirsts tika paņemts un Elus abi dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, nomira.
12 A man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head.
Tad viens Benjaminietis skrēja no tā karapulka un nāca tai dienā uz Šīlo ar saplēstām drēbēm un ar zemi uz galvas.
13 When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.
Un tam nākot, redzi, Elus sēdēja uz krēsla ceļmalā skatīdamies, jo viņa sirds trīcēja Dieva šķirsta dēļ. Kad nu tas vīrs nonāca un pilsētā to stāstīja, tad visa pilsēta brēca.
14 When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
Un kad Elus to brēkšanu dzirdēja, tad viņš sacīja: kas tas par troksni? Tad tas vīrs steidzās un nāca un to izteica Elum.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see.
(Elus nu bija deviņdesmit un astoņus gadus vecs, un viņa acis jau bija tumšas metušās un nevarēja vairs redzēt.)
16 The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”
Un tas vīrs sacīja uz Elu: es esmu nācis no karapulka un šodien bēdzis no karapulka. Tad viņš sacīja: kā tur iet, mans dēls?
17 He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter amongst the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”
Un tas vēstnesis atbildēja un sacīja: Israēls ir bēdzis Fīlistu priekšā un liela kaušana tiem ļaudīm notikusi, arī tavi abi dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, miruši. Un Dieva šķirsts ir paņemts.
18 When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
Un notikās, kad šis Dieva šķirstu pieminēja, tad viņš krita no krēsla atpakaļ pie vārtiem un lauza savu kaklu un nomira, jo tas vīrs bija vecs un smags; un viņš Israēli bija tiesājis četrdesmit gadus.
19 His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
Un viņa vedekla, Pinehasa sieva, bija grūta un gaidās. Kad nu šī to vēsti dzirdēja, ka Dieva šķirsts bija paņemts un viņas tēvocis nomiris līdz ar viņas vīru, tad viņa locījās un dzemdēja, jo sāpes viņai uzbruka.
20 About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.
Un viņai mirstot tās (sievas), kas viņai klāt stāvēja, sacīja: nebīsties, jo tu dēlu esi dzemdējusi. Bet viņa neatbildēja un to neņēma pie sirds.
21 She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Un tā to puisēnu nosauca Ihabodu, sacīdama: godība ir nost no Israēla, - tādēļ ka Dieva šķirsts bija atņemts, un sava tēvoča un vīra dēļ.
22 She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.”
Un tā sacīja: godība ir nost no Israēla, jo Dieva šķirsts ir atņemts.
