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:
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.
The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
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.
When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of 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, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above 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.
When the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
6 И услышаша иноплеменницы глас вопля и реша: что сей вопль великий в полце Еврейсте? И уразумеша, яко кивот Господень прииде в полк.
When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that Yahweh’s ark 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:
The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has 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 struck the Egyptians with all kinds of 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 behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen 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:
The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.
11 и кивот Божий взят бысть, и оба сыны Илиины умроша, Офни и Финеес.
God’s ark 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.
A man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on 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:
When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about 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.
When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
15 И бе Илий девятидесяти осми лет, и очи его изнемогоста, и не видяше.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so 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?
The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, 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.
He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”
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.
When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli 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. 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.
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on 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.
About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, 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.
She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 И рече: преселися слава Израилева, яко взят бысть кивот Божий.
She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.”
