Pirmā Samuela 4

1 Un Samuēls sludināja visam Israēlim Dieva vārdu. Un Israēls izgāja uz karu pret Fīlistiem un apmetās pie EbenEcera. Un Fīlisti apmetās pie Afekas.

And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

2 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.

And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and when the battle was spread, Israel was smitten before the Philistines; and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

3 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.

And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said: 'Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that He may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.'

4 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.

So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who sitteth upon the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

5 Kad nu Tā Kunga derības šķirsts nāca lēģerī, tad viss Israēls gavilēja ar lielu gavilēšanu, tā ka zeme drebēja.

And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang.

6 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.

And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said: 'What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' And they knew that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.

7 Un Fīlisti bijās un sacīja: Dievs nācis lēģerī. Un tie sacīja: Ak vai, mums! Jo līdz šim tā nav noticis.

And the Philistines were afraid, for they said: 'God is come into the camp.' And they said: 'Woe unto us! for there was not such a thing yesterday and the day before.

8 Ak vai, mums! Kas mūs izpestīs no šo vareno dievu rokas? Šie ir tie dievi, kas ēģiptiešus situši ar visādām mocībām tuksnesī.

Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues and in the wilderness.

9 Esiet stipri un turaties kā vīri, jūs Fīlisti, ka jums Ebrejiem nav jākalpo, tā kā tie jums kalpojuši, Turaties kā vīri un kaujaties!

Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you; quit yourselves like men, and fight.'

10 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.

And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

11 Un Dieva šķirsts tika paņemts un Elus abi dēli, Hofnus un Pinehas, nomira.

And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

12 Tad viens Benjaminietis skrēja no tā karapulka un nāca tai dienā uz Šīlo ar saplēstām drēbēm un ar zemi uz galvas.

And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.

13 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.

And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

14 Un kad Elus to brēkšanu dzirdēja, tad viņš sacīja: kas tas par troksni? Tad tas vīrs steidzās un nāca un to izteica Elum.

And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said: 'What meaneth the noise of this tumult?' And the man made haste, and came and told Eli.

15 (Elus nu bija deviņdesmit un astoņus gadus vecs, un viņa acis jau bija tumšas metušās un nevarēja vairs redzēt.)

Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.

16 Un tas vīrs sacīja uz Elu: es esmu nācis no karapulka un šodien bēdzis no karapulka. Tad viņš sacīja: kā tur iet, mans dēls?

And the man said unto Eli: 'I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army.' And he said: 'How went the matter, my son?'

17 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.

And he that brought the tidings answered and said: 'Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.'

18 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.

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he 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. And he had judged Israel forty years.

19 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.

And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and brought forth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.

20 Un viņai mirstot tās (sievas), kas viņai klāt stāvēja, sacīja: nebīsties, jo tu dēlu esi dzemdējusi. Bet viņa neatbildēja un to neņēma pie sirds.

And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her: 'Fear not; for thou hast brought forth a son.' But she answered not, neither did she regard it.

21 Un tā to puisēnu nosauca Ihabodu, sacīdama: godība ir nost no Israēla, - tādēļ ka Dieva šķirsts bija atņemts, un sava tēvoča un vīra dēļ.

And she named the child Ichabod, saying: 'The glory is departed from Israel'; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

22 Un tā sacīja: godība ir nost no Israēla, jo Dieva šķirsts ir atņemts.

And she said: 'The glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.'
