1 Samuel 4
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
И шта рече Самуило, зби се свему Израиљу. Јер Израиљ изађе на војску на Филистеје, и стадоше у логор код Евен-Езера, а Филистеји стадоше у логор у Афеку.
2 And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
А Филистеји се уврсташе према Израиљу, и кад се отвори бој, разбише Филистеји Израиља, и изгибе их у боју у пољу око четири хиљаде људи.
3 And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
И кад народ дође у логор, рекоше старешине Израиљеве: Зашто нас данас разби Господ пред Филистејима? Да донесемо из Силома ковчег завета Господњег, да буде међу нама и избави нас из руку непријатеља наших.
4 So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
И народ посла у Силом да донесу оданде ковчег завета Господа над војскама, који седи на херувимима; а беху онде код ковчега завета Господњег два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
А кад дође ковчег завета Господњег у логор, повика сав Израиљ од радости да земља зајеча.
6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
А Филистеји чувши веселу вику рекоше: Каква је то вика весела у логору јеврејском? И разумеше да је дошао ковчег Господњи у логор њихов.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
И уплашише се Филистеји кад рекоше: Бог је дошао у логор. И говораху: Тешко нама! Јер то није бивало пре.
8 Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
Тешко нама! Ко ће нас избавити из руку тих силних богова? То су богови што побише Мисирце у пустињи свакојаким мукама.
9 Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
Охрабрите се, и будите људи, о Филистеји! Да не служите Јеврејима као што су они вама служили; будите људи и удрите.
10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
И Филистеји ударише, и Израиљци се опет разбише и побегоше к шаторима својим; и бој беше врло велик, јер паде из Израиља тридесет хиљада пешака.
11 And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
И ковчег Божји би отет, и два сина Илијева, Офније и Финес погибоше.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
А један између синова Венијаминових побеже из боја, и дође у Силом исти дан раздртих хаљина и главе посуте прахом.
13 And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
И кад дође, гле, Илије сеђаше на столици украј пута погледајући; јер срце његово беше у страху за ковчег Божји. И дошав онај човек у град каза гласе, и стаде вика свега града.
14 And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
А Илије чувши вику рече: Каква је то врева? И човек брже дотрча да јави Илију.
15 Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
А Илију беше деведесет и осам година, и очи му беху потамнеле, те не могаше видети.
16 And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
И рече човек Илију: Ја идем из боја, утекох данас из боја. А он рече: Шта би, сине?
17 And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
А гласник одговарајући рече: Побеже Израиљ испред Филистеја, и изгибе много народа, и оба сина твоја погибоше, Офније и Финес, и ковчег Божји отет је.
18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
А кад спомену ковчег Божји, паде Илије са столице наузнако код врата и сломи врат и умре, јер беше човек стар и тежак. Он би судија Израиљу четрдесет година.
19 And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
А снаха његова, жена Финесова, беше трудна и на том доба, па чувши глас да је ковчег Божји отет и да јој је погинуо свекар и муж, сави се и породи, јер јој дођоше болови.
20 And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
И кад умираше, рекоше јој које стајаху код ње: Не бој се, родила си сина. Али она не одговори, нити хајаше за то.
21 And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
Него детету наде име Ихавод говорећи: Отиде слава од Израиља; јер ковчег Божји би отет, и свекар јој и муж погибоше.
22 And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
Зато рече: Отиде слава од Израиља; јер би отет ковчег Божји.
