1 Samuelova 7

1 Tada doðoše ljudi iz Kirijat-Jarima, i uzeše kovèeg Gospodnji, i odnesoše ga u kuæu Avinadavovu na brdu, a Eleazara sina njegova posvetiše da èuva kovèeg Gospodnji.

And the men of Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

2 A kad kovèeg osta u Kirijat-Jarimu, proðe mnogo vremena, dvadeset godina, i plakaše sav dom Izrailjev za Gospodom.

And it came to pass from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.

3 A Samuilo reèe svemu domu Izrailjevu govoreæi: ako se svijem srcem svojim obraæate ka Gospodu, povrzite tuðe bogove izmeðu sebe i Astarote, i spremite srce svoje za Gospoda, njemu jedinomu služite, pa æe vas izbaviti iz ruku Filistejskih.

And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

4 I povrgoše sinovi Izrailjevi Vale i Astarote, i služiše Gospodu jedinomu.

And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.

5 Potom reèe Samuilo: skupite svega Izrailja u Mispu, da se pomolim Gospodu za vas.

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.

6 I skupiše se u Mispu, i crpuæi vodu proljevaše pred Gospodom, i postiše onaj dan, i ondje rekoše: sagriješismo Gospodu. I Samuilo suðaše sinovima Izrailjevijem u Mispi.

And they were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.

7 A Filisteji kad èuše da su se sinovi Izrailjevi skupili u Mispu, izidoše knezovi Filistejski na Izrailja. A kad to èuše sinovi Izrailjevi, uplašiše se od Filisteja.

And the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.

8 I rekoše sinovi Izrailjevi Samuilu: ne prestaj vapiti za nas ka Gospodu Bogu našemu, eda bi nas izbavio iz ruku Filistejskih.

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord your God for us, and he shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9 Tada Samuilo uze jedno jagnje odojèe, i prinese ga svega Gospodu na žrtvu paljenicu; i vapi Samuilo ka Gospodu za Izrailja, i usliši ga Gospod.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it up as a whole burnt offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.

10 I kad Samuilo prinošaše žrtvu paljenicu, približiše se Filisteji da udare na Izrailja; ali zagrmje Gospod grmljavinom velikom u onaj dan na Filisteje i smete ih, i biše pobijeni pred Izrailjem.

And Samuel was offering the whole burnt offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.

11 A Izrailjci izidoše iz Mispe, i potjeraše Filisteje, i biše ih do pod Vet-Har.

And the men of Israel went forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.

12 Tada uze Samuilo kamen, i metnu ga izmeðu Mispe i Sena, i nazva ga Even-Ezer, jer reèe: dovde nam Gospod pomože.

And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

13 Tako biše pokoreni Filisteji, i više ne dolaziše na meðu Izrailjevu. I ruka Gospodnja bješe protiv Filisteja svega vijeka Samuilova.

So the Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 I povratiše se Izrailju gradovi, koje bjehu uzeli Filisteji Izrailju, od Akarona do Gata, i meðe njihove izbavi Izrailj iz ruku Filistejskih; i bi mir meðu Izrailjem i Amorejima.

And the cities which the Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.

15 A Samuilo suðaše Izrailju svega vijeka svojega.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 I iduæi svake godine obilažaše Vetilj i Galgal i Mispu, i suðaše Izrailju u svijem tijem mjestima.

And he went year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated places.

17 Potom se vraæaše u Ramu, jer ondje bijaše kuæa njegova, i suðaše ondje Izrailju, i ondje naèini oltar Gospodu.

And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
