1 Samuel 4
1 Pada masa itu orang Filistin mengerahkan segenap bala tentaranya untuk menggempur Israel; sebab itu tentara Israel maju ke medan peperangan; mereka berkemah dekat Eben-Haezer, sedang tentara Filistin berkemah di Afek.
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel to war; and Israel went out to meet them and encamped at Abenezer, and the Philistines encamped in Aphec.
2 Tentara Filistin mulai menyerang, dan setelah pertempuran berlangsung dengan sengit, tentara Israel kalah dan kira-kira empat ribu orang tewas di medan pertempuran itu.
And the Philistines prepare to fight with Israel, and the battle was turned against them; and the men of Israel fell before the Philistines, and there were struck in the battle in the field four thousand men.
3 Ketika sisa tentara yang kalah sudah kembali ke perkemahan, para pemimpin Israel berkata, "Mengapa gerangan TUHAN membiarkan kita dikalahkan orang Filistin pada hari ini? Mari kita ambil Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dari Silo, dan kita bawa ke mari, supaya TUHAN mau menolong kita dan menyelamatkan kita dari musuh."
And the people came to the camp, and the elders of Israel said, Why has the Lord caused us to fall this day before the Philistines? let us take the ark of our God out of Selom, and let it proceed from the midst of us, and it shall save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 Lalu mereka mengutus orang ke Silo untuk mengambil Peti Perjanjian TUHAN yang merupakan takhta TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas, mengiringi Peti Perjanjian itu.
And the people sent to Selom, and they take thence the ark of the Lord who dwells between the cherubs: and both the sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, [were] with the ark.
5 Setelah Peti Perjanjian itu sampai di perkemahan, bersoraklah orang Israel dengan begitu nyaring, sehingga bumi bergetar.
And it came to pass when the ark of the Lord entered into the camp, that all Israel cried out with a loud voice, and the earth resounded.
6 Orang Filistin juga mendengar bunyi sorak itu lalu mereka berkata, "Mengapa orang-orang Ibrani itu bersorak-sorak?" Tetapi ketika mereka mengetahui bahwa Peti Perjanjian TUHAN telah tiba di perkemahan Ibrani,
And the Philistines heard the cry, and the Philistines said, What [is] this great cry in the camp of the Hebrews: and they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 mereka menjadi takut, dan berkata, "Ada dewa datang ke perkemahan mereka! Celakalah kita! Belum pernah kita mengalami hal seperti ini!
And the Philistines feared, and said, These are the Gods that are come to them into the camp.
8 Celakalah betul! Siapakah dapat menyelamatkan kita dari dewa-dewa yang kuat itu? Bukankah dewa-dewa itu pula yang telah membunuh orang Mesir di padang pasir dahulu?
Woe to us, O Lord, deliver us today for such a thing has not happened aforetime: woe to us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that struck Egypt with every plague, and in the wilderness.
9 Beranikanlah hatimu, hai orang Filistin! Bertempurlah seperti laki-laki, jika tidak, kamu akan menjadi hamba orang-orang Ibrani itu, seperti mereka dahulu menjadi hamba kamu. Sebab itu bertempurlah dengan gagah berani!"
Strengthen yourselves and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you may not serve the Hebrews as they have served us, but be you men and fight with them.
10 Kemudian berperanglah orang Filistin dengan sengit dan mengalahkan tentara Israel. Orang Israel lari ke kemahnya masing-masing. Sungguh besar kekalahan itu: 30.000 prajurit Israel telah gugur.
And they fought with them; and the men of Israel fall, and they fled every man to his ten; and there was a very great slaughter; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand fighting men.
11 Peti Perjanjian Allah direbut musuh Israel, dan kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas, tewas.
And the ark of God was taken, and both the sons of Heli, Ophni, and Phinees, died.
12 Seorang dari suku Benyamin lari dari medan pertempuran ke Silo, dan sampai di situ pada hari itu juga. Sebagai tanda dukacita, telah dikoyak-koyaknya pakaiannya dan ditaruhnya tanah di kepalanya.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and he came to Selom on that day: and his clothes [were] tore, and earth [was] upon his head.
13 Eli, yang sangat cemas memikirkan keselamatan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN, sedang duduk di kursi di tepi jalan, sambil termenung. Ketika orang itu mengabarkan berita kekalahan Israel, seluruh penduduk kota meratap dengan nyaring.
And he came, an behold, Heli was upon the seat by the gate looking along the way, for his heart was greatly alarmed for the ark of God: and the man entered into the city to bring tidings; and the city cried out.
14 Eli mendengar ratapan itu, lalu bertanya, "Keributan apakah itu?" Sementara itu orang tadi berlari kepada Eli; ketika sampai, ia memberitahukan kabar buruk itu.
And Heli heard the sound of the cry, and said, What [is] the voice of this cry? and the men hasted and went in, and reported to Heli.
15 Adapun Eli sudah sembilan puluh delapan tahun umurnya dan ia hampir buta.
Now Heli [was] ninety years old, and his eyes were fixed, and he saw not.
16 Orang itu berkata kepada Eli, "Aku lari hari ini dari medan pertempuran dan baru saja sampai." Eli bertanya kepadanya, "Bagaimana kabarnya, anakku?"
And Heli said to them that stood round about him, What [is] the voice of this sound? And the man hasted and advanced to Heli, and said to him, I am he that is come out of the camp, and I have fled from the battle today: and Heli said, What [is] the even, [my] son?
17 Pembawa kabar itu menjawab, "Israel lari dari orang Filistin. Kita menderita kekalahan yang besar sekali. Banyak orang yang tewas, juga kedua anak Bapak, Hofni dan Pinehas. Dan Peti Perjanjian Allah direbut musuh!"
And they young man answered and said, The men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and there was a great slaughter among the people, and both your sons are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 Ketika orang itu memberitakan tentang Peti Perjanjian itu, Eli jatuh terlentang dari kursinya di sebelah pintu gerbang. Ia begitu tua dan gemuk sehingga waktu jatuh lehernya patah, dan ia tewas. Ia telah memimpin Israel empat puluh tahun lamanya.
And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from the seat backward near the gate, and his back was broken, and he died, for [he was] an old man and heavy: and he judged Israel twenty years.
19 Pada waktu itu, menantu Eli, yaitu istri Pinehas, sedang hamil tua, dan saatnya melahirkan sudah dekat. Ketika didengarnya bahwa Peti Perjanjian Allah telah direbut, dan bahwa mertuanya serta suaminya telah meninggal, tiba-tiba ia merasakan sakit beranak, lalu bersalinlah ia tak lama kemudian.
And his daughter-in-law the wife of Phinees [was] with child, [about] to bring forth; and she heard the tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead; and she wept and was delivered, for her pains came upon her.
20 Ketika ia sudah hampir meninggal, para wanita yang menolongnya berkata, "Tabahlah! Anakmu laki-laki!" Namun ia tidak menjawab atau memperhatikan mereka.
And in her time she was at the point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not, for you have born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not regard it.
21 Anak itu dinamainya Ikabod, katanya, "Kehadiran Allah Yang Mulia telah hilang dari Israel." --yang dimaksudkannya ialah bahwa Peti Perjanjian sudah dirampas dan mertuanya serta suaminya telah meninggal. Sebab itu ia berkata, "Kehadiran Allah Yang Mulia telah hilang dari Israel, karena Peti Perjanjian Allah sudah dirampas."
And she called the child Uaebarchaboth, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law, and because of her husband.
And they said, The glory of Israel is departed, forasmuch as the ark of the Lord is taken.
