1 Samuel 4
1 And it happened that, in those days, the Philistines assembled to fight. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and he made camp beside the Stone of Assistance. But the Philistines went to Aphek,
Beseda od Samuela je prišla k vsemu Izraelu. Torej Izrael je odšel ven zoper Filistejce, da se bojujejo in utaborili so se poleg Eben Ezerja. Filistejci pa so se utaborili v Aféku.
2 and they positioned their troops against Israel. Then, when the conflict began, Israel turned his back to the Philistines. And they were cut down in that conflict, in various places in the fields, about four thousand men.
Filistejci so se razporedili zoper Izraela in ko so se pridružili bitki, je bil Izrael udarjen pred Filistejci in usmrtili so izmed vojske na polju okoli štiri tisoč mož.
3 And the people returned to the camp. And those greater by birth of Israel said: “Why has the Lord struck us today before the Philistines? Let us bring to ourselves the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Shiloh. And let it enter into our midst, so that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.”
Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v tabor, so starešine Izraela rekli: »Zakaj nas je Gospod danes udaril pred Filistejci? Skrinjo Gospodove zaveze prinesimo iz Šila k sebi, da ko ta pride med nas, nas ta lahko reši iz roke naših sovražnikov.«
4 Therefore, the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, sitting upon the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
Tako je ljudstvo poslalo v Šilo, da bi od tam lahko prinesli skrinjo zaveze Gospoda nad bojevniki, ki prebiva med kerubi, in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila tam s skrinjo Božje zaveze.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the camp, all of Israel shouted with a great clamor, and the land resounded.
Ko je v tabor prišla skrinja Gospodove zaveze, je ves Izrael vriskal z močnim vriskom, tako da je zemlja ponovno zadonela.
6 And the Philistines heard the voice of the clamor, and they said, “What is this voice of a great clamor in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they realized that the ark of the Lord had arrived in the camp.
Ko so Filistejci slišali hrup vriska, so rekli: »Kaj pomeni hrup tega močnega vriska v taboru Hebrejcev?« Razumeli so, da je v tabor prišla Gospodova skrinja.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying, “God has entered into the camp.” And they groaned, saying:
Filistejci so bili prestrašeni, kajti rekli so: »Bog je prišel v tabor.« Rekli so: »Gorje nam! Kajti poprej še ni bilo takšne stvari.
8 “Woe to us! For there was no such great exultation yesterday, or the day before. Woe to us! Who will save us from the hand of these sublime gods? These are the gods who struck Egypt with all the plagues, in the desert.”
Gorje nam! Kdo nas bo rešil iz roke teh mogočnih Bogov? To so Bogovi, ki so v divjini udarili Egipčane z vsemi nadlogami.
9 “Be strengthened, and be manly, O Philistines! Otherwise, you may serve the Hebrews, as they also have served you. Be strengthened and wage war!”
Bodite močni in obnašajte se kakor možje, oh vi Filistejci, da ne bomo služabniki Hebrejcem, kakor so bili oni vam. Obnašajte se kakor možje in se borite.«
10 Therefore, the Philistines fought, and Israel was cut down, and each one fled to his own tent. And an exceedingly great slaughter occurred. And thirty thousand foot soldiers from Israel fell.
Filistejci so se borili in Izrael je bil udarjen in zbežali so vsak mož v svoj šotor, in bil je zelo velik pokol, kajti v Izraelu je padlo trideset tisoč pešcev.
11 And the ark of God was captured. Also, the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Božja skrinja je bila vzeta in Élijeva dva sinova, Hofní in Pinhás, sta bila ubita.
12 Now a man of Benjamin, rushing from the troops, arrived at Shiloh on the same day, with his clothing torn, and with his head sprinkled with dust.
Mož iz Benjamina pa je stekel iz vojske in še isti dan prišel v Šilo s pretrganimi oblačili in prstjo na svoji glavi.
13 And when he had arrived, Eli was sitting on a seat opposite the way, gazing out. For his heart was fearful on behalf of the ark of God. Then, after this man entered the city, he announced it to the city. And the entire city wailed.
Ko je prišel, glej, je Éli sedel na sedežu in gledal ob poti, kajti njegovo srce je trepetalo za Božjo skrinjo. Ko je mož prišel v mesto in to povedal, je celotno mesto zavpilo.
14 And Eli heard the sound of the outcry, and he said, “What is this sound, this tumult?” And the man hurried, and he went and announced it to Eli.
Ko je Éli slišal hrup vpitja, je rekel: »Kaj pomeni zvok tega nemira?« Mož je v naglici prišel in povedal Éliju.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had dimmed, so that he was not able to see.
Torej Éli je bil star osemindevetdeset let in njegove oči so bile zatemnjene, da ni mogel videti.
16 And he said to Eli: “I am the one who came from the battle. And it is I who fled from the troops today.” And he said to him, “What has happened, my son?”
Mož je rekel Éliju: »Jaz sem tisti, ki je prišel iz vojske in danes sem pobegnil iz vojske.« On pa je rekel: »Kaj je tam storjeno, moj sin?«
17 And responding, the man reported and said: “Israel has fled before the Philistines. And a great ruin has happened to the people. Moreover, your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, also have died. And the ark of God has been captured.”
Poslanec je odgovoril in rekel: »Izrael je pobegnil pred Filistejci in tam je bil prav tako velik pokol med ljudstvom in tudi tvoja sinova, Hofní in Pinhás sta mrtva in Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from the seat backwards, toward the door, and, having broken his neck, he died. For he was an old man of great age. And he judged Israel for forty years.
Pripetilo se je, ko je omenil Božjo skrinjo, da je padel nazaj s stola ob strani velikih vrat in njegov vrat se je zlomil in je umrl, kajti bil je starec in težak. Izraelu je sodil štirideset let.
19 Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, and her delivery was near. And upon hearing the news that the ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she bent down and went into labor. For her pains rushed upon her suddenly.
Njegova snaha, Pinhásova soproga, je bila z otrokom, blizu časa poroda. Ko je slišala novice, da je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in da sta bila njen tast in njen mož mrtva, se je sklonila in bila v porodnih mukah, kajti njene bolečine so prišle nadnjo.
20 Then, when she was near death, those who were standing around her said to her, “You should not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond to them, and she did not notice them.
Okoli časa njene smrti so ji ženske, ki so stale ob njej, rekle: »Ne boj se, kajti rodila si sina.« Toda ona ni odgovorila niti se na to ni ozirala.
21 And she called the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory of Israel has been taken away,” because the ark of God was captured, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Otroka je imenovala Ikabód, rekoč: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, « ker je bila Božja skrinja vzeta in zaradi njenega tasta in njenega soproga.
22 And she said, “The glory has been taken away from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured.
Rekla je: »Slava je odšla od Izraela, kajti Božja skrinja je vzeta.«
