< 1 Samuel 6 >

1 Gospodova skrinja je bila v filistejski deželi sedem mesecev.
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 Filistejci so dali poklicati duhovnike in vedeževalce, rekoč: »Kaj naj storimo z Gospodovo skrinjo? Povejte nam, s čim naj jo pošljemo na njen kraj?«
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us with what we shall send it to its place.
3 Rekli so: »Če odpošljete skrinjo Izraelovega Boga, je ne pošljite prazne; temveč mu na vsak način vrnite daritev za prestopek. Potem boste ozdravljeni in znano vam bo zakaj njegova roka ni odstranjena od vas.«
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass-offering: then ye will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Potem so rekli: »Kakšna naj bo daritev za prestopek, ki mu jo bomo vrnili?« Odgovorili so: »Pet zlatih hemoroídov in pet zlatih miši, glede na število filistejskih knezov, kajti ena nadloga je bila na vas vseh in na vaših gospodarjih.
Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.
5 Zato boste naredili podobe vaših tvorov in podobe vaših miši, ki uničujejo deželo in dali boste slavo Izraelovemu Bogu. Morda bo olajšal svojo roko iznad vas in iznad vaših bogov in iznad vaše dežele.
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel: it may be he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Zakaj bi torej zakrknili svoja srca, kakor so Egipčani in faraon zakrknili svoja srca? Ko je izvrstno delal med njimi, ali niso pustili ljudstva iti in so odpotovali?
Why then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
7 Zdaj torej naredite nov voz in vzemite dve doječi kravi, na kateri jarem ni prišel in kravi privežite k vozu, njuna telička pa od njiju odvedite domov
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch-cows on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 in vzemite Gospodovo skrinjo in jo položite na voz in položite dragocenosti iz zlata, ki mu jih vračate za daritev za prestopek, v skrinjico ob njeni strani in pošljite jo proč, da bo ta lahko odšla.
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold which ye return to him [for] a trespass-offering, in a coffer by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
9 Glejte, če gre ta gor po poti svojega lastnega območja v Bet Šemeš, potem nam je on storil to veliko zlo, toda če ne, potem bomo vedeli, da to ni njegova roka, ki nas je udarila; to je bilo naključje, ki se nam je pripetilo.«
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know, that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us; it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.
10 Ljudje so tako storili. Vzeli so dve doječi kravi ter ju privezali k vozu, njuni teleti pa zaprli doma.
And the men did so; and took two milch cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 Gospodovo skrinjo so položili na voz in skrinjico z mišmi iz zlata in podobami svojih hemoroídov.
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 Kravi sta šli naravnost na pot Bet Šemeša in šli sta vzdolž glavne ceste, mukajoč, medtem ko sta hodili in nista se obračali vstran ne na desno roko ne na levo in filistejski knezi so šli za njima do meje Bet Šemeša.
And the cows took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
13 Tisti iz Bet Šemeša so v dolini želi svojo pšenično žetev in povzdignili so svoje oči in zagledali skrinjo in se razveselili, da jo vidijo.
And [they of] Beth-shemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it].
14 Voz je prišel na polje Bétšémeščana Jošúa in obstal tam, kjer je bil velik kamen in nacepili so les od voza in kravi darovali v žgalno daritev Gospodu.
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they cleaved the wood of the cart, and offered the cows a burnt-offering to the LORD.
15 Lévijevci so sneli Gospodovo skrinjo in skrinjico, ki je bila z njo, v kateri so bile dragocenosti iz zlata in ju položili na velik kamen in možje iz Bet Šemeša so isti dan Gospodu darovali žgalne daritve in žrtvovali klavne daritve.
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, in which [were] the jewels of gold, and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
16 Ko je pet filistejskih knezov to videlo, so se istega dne vrnili v Ekrón.
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 To pa so zlati hemoroídi, ki so jih Filistejci vrnili Gospodu za daritev za prestopek: enega za Ašdód, enega za Gazo, enega za Aškelón, enega za Gat, enega za Ekrón;
And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass-offering to the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 in zlate miši glede na število vseh filistejskih mest, pripadajočih petim knezom, tako utrjenih mest kakor podeželskih vasi, celo do velikega Abelovega kamna, na katerega so položili Gospodovo skrinjo; katerega kamen ostaja na polju Bétšémeščana Jošúa do današnjega dne.
And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fortified cities, and of country villages, even to the great [stone of] Abel, on which they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
19 Udaril pa je može iz Bet Šemeša, ker so gledali v Gospodovo skrinjo, torej izmed ljudstva je udaril petdeset tisoč in sedemdeset mož in ljudstvo je žalovalo, ker je Gospod z velikim pokolom udaril mnoge izmed ljudstva.
And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and seventy men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.
20 Možje iz Bet Šemeša so rekli: »Kdo je zmožen stati pred tem svetim Gospodom Bogom? In h komu naj gre gor od nas?«
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 Poslali so poslance k prebivalcem Kirját Jearíma, rekoč: »Filistejci so ponovno privedli Gospodovo skrinjo. Pridite dol in jo prenesite gor k sebi.«
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] bring it up to you.
