< 1 Samuelova 4 >

1 I što reèe Samuilo, zbi se svemu Izrailju. Jer Izrailj izide na vojsku na Filisteje, i stadoše u oko kod Even-Ezera, a Filisteji stadoše u oko u Afeku.
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 A Filisteji se uvrstaše prema Izrailju, i kad se otvori boj, razbiše Filisteji Izrailja, i izgibe ih u boju u polju oko èetiri tisuæe ljudi.
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 I kad narod doðe u oko, rekoše starješine Izrailjeve: zašto nas danas razbi Gospod pred Filistejima? da donesemo iz Siloma kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, da bude meðu nama i izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših.
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Yhwh smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Yhwh out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 I narod posla u Silom da donesu odande kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda nad vojskama, koji sjedi na heruvimima; a bijahu ondje kod kovèega zavjeta Gospodnjega dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines.
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of Yhwh of Armies, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 A kad doðe kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega u oko, povika sav Izrailj od radosti da zemlja zajeèa.
And when the ark of the covenant of Yhwh came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 A Filisteji èuvši veselu viku rekoše: kakva je to vika vesela u okolu Jevrejskom? I razumješe da je došao kovèeg Gospodnji u oko njihov.
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 understood that the ark of Yhwh was come into the camp.
7 I uplašiše se Filisteji kad rekoše: Bog je došao u oko. I govorahu: teško nama! jer to nije bivalo prije.
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Teško nama! ko æe nas izbaviti iz ruku tijeh silnijeh bogova? to su bogovi što pobiše Misirce u pustinji svakojakim mukama.
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 the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Ohrabrite se, i budite ljudi, o Filisteji! da ne služite Jevrejima kao što su oni vama služili; budite ljudi, i udrite.
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 I Filisteji udariše, i Izrailjci se opet razbiše i pobjegoše k šatorima svojim; i boj bješe vrlo velik, jer pade iz Izrailja trideset tisuæa pješaka.
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 I kovèeg Božji bi otet, i dva sina Ilijeva Ofnije i Fines pogiboše.
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 A jedan izmeðu sinova Venijaminovih pobježe iz boja, i doðe u Silom isti dan razdrtijeh haljina i glave posute prahom.
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 I kad doðe, gle, Ilije sjeðaše na stolici ukraj puta pogledajuæi; jer srce njegovo bijaše u strahu za kovèeg Božji. I došav onaj èovjek u grad kaza glase, i stade vika svega grada.
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a 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 A Ilije èuvši viku reèe: kakva je to vreva? I èovjek brže dotrèa da javi Iliju.
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 A Iliju bijaše devedeset i osam godina, i oèi mu bijahu potamnjele, te ne mogaše vidjeti.
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 I reèe èovjek Iliju: ja idem iz boja, utekoh danas iz boja. A on reèe: šta bi, sine?
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, What is there done, my son?
17 A glasnik odgovarajuæi reèe: pobježe Izrailj ispred Filisteja, i izgibe mnogo naroda, i oba sina tvoja pogiboše, Ofnije i Fines, i kovèeg Božji otet je.
And the messenger 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 A kad spomenu kovèeg Božji, pade Ilije sa stolice nauznako kod vrata i slomi vrat i umrije, jer bijaše èovjek star i težak. On bi sudija Izrailju èetrdeset godina.
And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 A snaha njegova, žena Finesova, bijaše trudna i na tom doba, pa èuvši glas da je kovèeg Božji otet i da joj je poginuo svekar i muž, savi se i porodi, jer joj doðoše bolovi.
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 travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20 I kad umiraše, rekoše joj koje stajahu kod nje: ne boj se, rodila si sina. Ali ona ne odgovori, niti hajaše za to.
And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 Nego djetetu nadje ime Ihavod govoreæi: otide slava od Izrailja; jer kovèeg Božji bi otet, i svekar joj i muž pogiboše.
And she named the child I–chabod, 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 Zato reèe: otide slava od Izrailja; jer bi otet kovèeg Božji.
And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
