< Первая книга Царств 4 >
1 И бысть во дни оны, и собрашася иноплеменницы противу Израиля на брань: и изыде Израиль во сретение им на брань, и ополчишася во Авенезере, и иноплеменницы ополчишася во Афеце:
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 и сразишася иноплеменницы на брани со Израилтяны, и преклонися брань, и падоша мужие Израилевы пред иноплеменники, и убиени быша в брани на селе четыри тысящы мужей.
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 И приидоша людие в полк, и реша старейшины Израилевы: почто порази нас Господь днесь пред иноплеменники? Возмем кивот Бога нашего от Силома, и изыдет посреде нас и спасет ны от руки враг наших.
And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 И послаша людие в Силом, и взяша оттуду кивот Господа седящаго на херувимех: и (быша) тамо оба сына Илиина с кивотом Божиим, Офни и Финеес.
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 И бысть егда прииде кивот Господень в полк, и возопи весь Израиль гласом великим, и возшуме земля.
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 shook.
6 И услышаша иноплеменницы глас вопля и реша: что сей вопль великий в полце Еврейсте? И уразумеша, яко кивот Господень прииде в полк.
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 the LORD had come into the camp.
7 И убояшася иноплеменницы и реша: сии бози приидоша к ним в полк: горе нам, изми ны, Господи, днесь: яко не бысть тако вчера и третияго дне:
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God hath come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! for there hath not been such a thing before.
8 горе нам, кто ны измет от руки богов крепких сих? Сии суть бози, побившии Египта всякими язвами и в пустыни:
Woe to 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 укрепитеся и будите в мужы, иноплеменницы, яко да не поработаете Евреом, якоже поработаша нам, будите убо в мужы и бийтеся с ними.
Be strong, and acquit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye may not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: acquit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 И бишася с ними: и падоша мужие Израилевы пред иноплеменники, и побеже кийждо в селение свое, и бысть язва велика зело: и паде от Израиля тридесять тысящ чинов:
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 и кивот Божий взят бысть, и оба сыны Илиины умроша, Офни и Финеес.
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 И тече муж от брани Иеминей, и прииде в Силом в день он, и ризы своя растерзав, и персть бе на главе его.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and with earth upon his head.
13 И прииде, и се, Илий седяше на престоле своем у дверий, смотря на путь, яко бе сердце его во ужасе (велице) о кивоте Божии. И человек вниде во град возвещая: и возопи весь град гласом великим:
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the way side 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 и слыша Илий глас вопля и рече: что есть глас вопля сего? И человек потщався вниде и поведа Илию.
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 И бе Илий девятидесяти осми лет, и очи его изнемогоста, и не видяше.
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 И рече Илий мужем предстоящым себе: что глас вопля сего? И муж потщався вниде ко Илию и рече ему: аз есмь пришедый из полка, и аз прибежах от брани днесь. И рече Илий: что бывший глагол, чадо?
And the man said to 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 И отвеща отрочищь и рече: побежаша мужие Израилевы от лица иноплеменников, и язва велия бысть в людех, и оба сыны твоя умроша, и кивот Божий взят есть.
And the messenger answered and said, Israel hath 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 И бысть егда помяну о кивоте Божии, и паде (Илий) с престола взнак близ дверий, и сокрушися хребет его, и умре, яко стар бе человек и тяжек: и той суди Израилеви четыредесять лет.
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 broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 И сноха его жена Финеесова заченшая родити, и слыша весть, яко взят бысть кивот Божий и яко умре свекор ея и муж ея, и восплакася (горько), и роди, яко обратишася на ню болезни ея.
And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinehas, 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 И во время, внегда умираше, реша ей жены предстоящыя ей: не бойся, яко сына родила еси. И не отвеща, и не разуме сердце ея.
And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said to her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 И нарече отрочища Уехавоф: и реша о кивоте Божии и о свекре ея и о мужи ея: преселися слава от Израиля, яко взятся кивот Господень, и яко умре свекор ея и муж ея.
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory hath departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
22 И рече: преселися слава Израилева, яко взят бысть кивот Божий.
And she said, The glory hath departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
