< 1 Samuel 4 >
1 Dumating ang salita ni Samuel sa buong Israel. Ngayon umalis ang Israel upang makipaglaban sa mga Filisteo. Nagtayo sila ng kampo sa Ebenezer, at nagtayo ng kampo ang mga Felisteo sa Afek.
Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.
2 Humanay ang mga Filisteo para labanan ang Israel. Lumaganap ang labanan, natalo ang Israel ng mga Filisteo, na pumatay ng halos apat na libong kalalakihan sa lugar ng labanan.
And the Philistines put their forces in order against Israel, and the fighting was hard, and Israel was overcome by the Philistines, who put to the sword about four thousand of their army in the field.
3 Nang dumating ang mga tao sa kampo, sinabi ng nakakatanda ng Israel, “Bakit tayo pinatalo ni Yahweh ngayon sa mga Filisteo? Dalhin natin ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh dito mula sa Silo, upang makasama natin iyon dito, para panatilihin tayong ligtas mula sa kapangyarihan ng ating mga kaaway.”
And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.
4 Kaya nagpadala ang mga tao ng kalalakihan sa Silo; mula roon dinala nila ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, na nakaupo sa itaas ng querobin. Ang dalawang anak na lalaki ni Eli na sina Hofni at Finehas ay naroon kasama ang kaban ng tipan ng Diyos.
So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.
5 Nang dumating ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh sa kampo, sumigaw nang malakas ang lahat ng mga tao ng Israel, at umugong ang mundo.
And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.
6 Nang narinig ng mga Filisteo ang ingay ng hiyawan, sinabi nila, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong malakas na hiyawan sa kampo ng mga Hebreo?” Pagkatapos napagtanto nila na dumating ang kaban ni Yahweh sa kampo.
And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.
7 Natakot ang mga Filisteo; sinabi nila, “Dumating ang Diyos sa kampo.” Sinabi nila, “Kapighatian sa atin!” Hindi pa nangyayari ito noon!
And the Philistines, full of fear, said, God has come into their tents. And they said, Trouble is ours! for never before has such a thing been seen.
8 Kapighatian sa atin! Sino ang magtatanggol sa atin mula sa lakas nitong makapangyarihang Diyos? Ito ang Diyos na sumalakay sa mga taga-Ehipto sa pamamagitan ng marami at iba't ibang uri ng salot sa ilang.
Trouble is ours! Who will give us salvation from the hands of these great gods? These are the gods who sent all sorts of blows on the Egyptians in the waste land.
9 Lakasan ninyo ang loob ninyo, at magpakalalaki kayo, kayong mga Filisteo, o magiging mga alipin kayo para sa mga Hebreo, gaya ng naging mga alipin sila sa inyo. Magpakalalaki kayo, at lumaban.”
Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.
10 Nakipaglaban ang mga Filisteo, at natalo ang Israel. Tumakas ang bawat isa sa kanyang bahay, at ang patayan ay napakalawak; sapagka't natalo ang tatlumpung libong sundalo mula sa Israel.
So the Philistines went to the fight, and Israel was overcome, and every man went in flight to his tent: and great was the destruction, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel were put to the sword.
11 Nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at namatay ang dalawang lalaking anak ni Eli, na sina Hofni at Finehas.
And the ark of God was taken; and Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli, were put to the sword.
12 Tumakbo ang isang lalaki ng Benjamin mula sa hanay ng labanan at nakarating sa Silo sa parehong araw, dumating na punit ang kanyang mga damit at may lupa sa kanyang ulo.
And a man of Benjamin went running from the fight and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothing out of order and earth on his head.
13 Nang nakarating siya, nakaupo si Eli sa kanyang upuan na nakatingin sa daan dahil kumabog ang kanyang puso na may pag-aalala para sa kaban ng Diyos. Nang pumasok ang lalaki sa lungsod at sinabi ang balita, umiyak ang buong lungsod.
And when he came, Eli was seated by the wayside watching: and in his heart was fear for the ark of God. And when the man came into the town and gave the news, there was a great outcry.
14 Nang narinig ni Eli ang ingay ng iyakan, sinabi niya, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong hiyawan?” Biglang dumating ang lalaki at sinabi kay Eli.
And Eli, hearing the noise and the cries, said, What is the reason of this outcry? And the man came quickly and gave the news to Eli.
15 Ngayon siyamnapu't walong taong gulang na si Eli; malabo ang kanyang mga mata, at hindi siya makakita.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed so that he was not able to see.
16 Sinabi ng lalaki kay Eli, “Ako ang isang nanggaling mula sa hanay ng labanan. Tumakas ako mula sa labanan sa araw na ito.” At sinabi niya, “Ano ang nangyari, anak ko?”
And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?
17 Sumagot at nagsabi ang lalaking nagdala ng balita, “Tumakas ang Israel mula sa mga Filisteo. Mayroon ding isang malaking pagkatalo sa mga tao. Ang iyong dalawang anak na lalaki, na sina Hofni at Finehas ay patay na, at nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
And the man said, Israel went in flight from the Philistines, and there has been great destruction among the people, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken.
18 Nang nabanggit niya ang kaban ng Diyos, natumba patalikod si Eli mula sa kanyang upuan sa gilid ng tarangkahan. Nabali ang kanyang leeg, at namatay siya, dahil matanda na siya at mabigat. Naging hukom siya ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon.
And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.
19 Ngayon ang kanyang manugang na babae, asawa ni Finehas, ay buntis at malapit ng manganganak. Nang narinig niya ang balita na nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at ang kanyang biyenang lalaki at ang kanyang asawa ay patay na, lumuhod siya at nanganak, ngunit nagpahina sa kanya ang hirap ng kanyang panganganak.
And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and near the time when she would give birth; and when she had the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, her pains came on her suddenly and she gave birth.
20 Sinabi sa kanya ng babaeng nagpapaanak sa oras na malapit na siyang mamatay, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil nanganak ka ng isang lalaki.” Ngunit hindi siya sumagot o isinapuso kung ano ang kanilang sinabi.
And when she was very near death the women who were with her said, Have no fear, for you have given birth to a son. But she made no answer and gave no attention to it.
21 Pinangalanan niya ang bata ng Icabod, na nagsasabing, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel!” dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos, at dahil sa kanyang biyenan at kanyang asawa.
And she gave the child the name of Ichabod, saying, The glory has gone from Israel: because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 At sinabi niya, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel, dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
And she said, The glory is gone from Israel, for the ark of God has been taken.
