3 Då no folket kom att til lægret, sagde dei øvste i Israel: «Kvifor hev Herren late filistarane slå oss i dag? Lat oss henta Herrens sambandskista frå Silo, so ho kann vera her hjå oss og frelsa oss frå fiendarne våre!»
And it came the people into the camp and they said [the] elders of Israel why? has he defeated us Yahweh this day before [the] Philistines let us bring to ourselves from Shiloh [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh so it may come in midst our so it may deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our.
4 Folket sende bod til Silo og tok derifrå sambandskista åt Herren, allhers drott, han som tronar yver kerubarne. Og dei tvo Eli-sønerne, Hofni og Pinehas, fylgde med Guds sambandskista.
And it sent the people Shiloh and they brought from there [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh of hosts [who] sits the cherubim and [were] there [the] two [the] sons of Eli with [the] ark of [the] covenant of God Hophni and Phinehas.
5 Då Herrens sambandskista kom til lægret, då losna det so stort eit fagnadrop frå heile Israel, at jordi dunde.
And it was when came [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh into the camp and they shouted all Israel a shout great and it was stirred the ground.
6 Då filistarane høyrde ljoden av fagnadropet, sagde dei: «Kva tyder dette glymjande fagnadropet i hebræarlægret?» Og då dei vart vise med at Herrens kista var komi til lægret,
And they heard [the] Philistines [the] sound of the shout and they said what? [is] [the] sound of the shout great this in [the] camp of the Hebrews and they knew that [the] ark of Yahweh it had come into the camp.
7 vart dei forfærde; for dei tenkte: «Gud er komen til lægret.» Og dei sagde: «Usæle me! sovore hev aldri hendt fyrr!
And they were afraid the Philistines for they said he has come a god into the camp and they said woe! to us for not it has been like this yesterday three days ago.
8 Usæle me! kven skal frelsa oss frå denne velduge Guden? Det var denne Guden som sende alle ulukkorne yver egyptarane i øydemarki.
Woe! to us who? will he deliver us from [the] hand of the gods mighty these these they [are] the gods who struck Egypt with every plague in the wilderness.
9 Men - manna dykk upp! og far fram på kara vis, filistarar, so ikkje de skal verta trælar for hebræarane, liksom dei hev vore trælar for oss! Ver no karar, og gakk på!»
Show yourselves strong and become men O Philistines lest you should serve the Hebrews just as they have served you and you will become men and you will fight.
10 Filistarane kasta seg inn i striden; Israels-sønerne vart slegne, og lagde på sprang kvar til sitt, og mannefallet vart øgjelegt stort; av Israel fall tretti tusund mann fotfolk.

And he ran [the] man of Benjamin from the battle line and he came Shiloh on the day that and garments his [were] torn and earth [was] on head his.
13 Då han kom dit, sat Eli på stolen sin attmed byporten og einstirde utetter vegen; for hjarta hans bivra av otte for Guds kista. Då mannen kom inn i byen med denne tidendi, tok heile byen til å jamra og klaga.
