1 Samuel 4

1 And the word of Samuel became known to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ha'ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

I što reèe Samuilo, zbi se svemu Izrailju. Jer Izrailj izide na vojsku na Filisteje, i stadoše u oko kod Even-Ezera, a Filisteji stadoše u oko u Afeku.

2 And the Philistines put themselves in battle-array against Israel; and the battle became general, and Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew on the battle-ground, in the field, about four thousand men.

A Filisteji se uvrstaše prema Izrailju, i kad se otvori boj, razbiše Filisteji Izrailja, i izgibe ih u boju u polju oko èetiri tisuæe ljudi.

3 And when the people were come back into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us this day before the Philistines? Let us bring over to us out of Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come in the midst of us, and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.

I kad narod doðe u oko, rekoše starješine Izrailjeve: zašto nas danas razbi Gospod pred Filistejima? da donesemo iz Siloma kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, da bude meðu nama i izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših.

4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought away from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth over the cherubim: and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

I narod posla u Silom da donesu odande kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda nad vojskama, koji sjedi na heruvimima; a bijahu ondje kod kovèega zavjeta Gospodnjega dva sina Ilijeva, Ofnije i Fines.

5 And it happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, that all Israel set up a great shout, so that the earth trembled.

A kad doðe kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega u oko, povika sav Izrailj od radosti da zemlja zajeèa.

6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.

A Filisteji èuvši veselu viku rekoše: kakva je to vika vesela u okolu Jevrejskom? I razumješe da je došao kovèeg Gospodnji u oko njihov.

7 And the Philistines were afraid; for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for the like of this hath not been, yesterday or the day before.

I uplašiše se Filisteji kad rekoše: Bog je došao u oko. I govorahu: teško nama! jer to nije bivalo prije.

8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.

Teško nama! ko æe nas izbaviti iz ruku tijeh silnijeh bogova? to su bogovi što pobiše Misirce u pustinji svakojakim mukama.

9 Be strong, and act like men, O Philistines, so that ye become not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: therefore act like men, and fight.

Ohrabrite se, i budite ljudi, o Filisteji! da ne služite Jevrejima kao što su oni vama služili; budite ljudi, i udrite.

10 And the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were smitten, and they fled every man unto his tent: and the defeat was very great; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand men on foot.

I Filisteji udariše, i Izrailjci se opet razbiše i pobjegoše k šatorima svojim; i boj bješe vrlo velik, jer pade iz Izrailja trideset tisuæa pješaka.

11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, died also.

I kovèeg Božji bi otet, i dva sina Ilijeva Ofnije i Fines pogiboše.

12 And there ran a man of Benjamin from the battlefield, and came to Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head.

A jedan izmeðu sinova Venijaminovih pobježe iz boja, i doðe u Silom isti dan razdrtijeh haljina i glave posute prahom.

13 And when he came, lo, 'Eli was sitting upon a chair by the wayside watching; for his heart was anxious for the ark of God. And when the man came to tell it in the city, all the city cried out.

I kad doðe, gle, Ilije sjeðaše na stolici ukraj puta pogledajuæi; jer srce njegovo bijaše u strahu za kovèeg Božji. I došav onaj èovjek u grad kaza glase, i stade vika svega grada.

14 And when 'Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this multitude? And the man came in hastily, and told it to 'Eli.

A Ilije èuvši viku reèe: kakva je to vreva? I èovjek brže dotrèa da javi Iliju.

15 Now 'Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.

A Iliju bijaše devedeset i osam godina, i oèi mu bijahu potamnjele, te ne mogaše vidjeti.

16 And the man said unto 'Eli, I am the person that came from the battlefield, and I myself fled from the battlefield today. And he said, What was it that took place, my son?

I reèe èovjek Iliju: ja idem iz boja, utekoh danas iz boja. A on reèe: šta bi, sine?

17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath also been a great slaughter among the people, and also thy two sons, Chophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God hath been taken.

A glasnik odgovarajuæi reèe: pobježe Izrailj ispred Filisteja, i izgibe mnogo naroda, i oba sina tvoja pogiboše, Ofnije i Fines, i kovèeg Božji otet je.

18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

A kad spomenu kovèeg Božji, pade Ilije sa stolice nauznako kod vrata i slomi vrat i umrije, jer bijaše èovjek star i težak. On bi sudija Izrailju èetrdeset godina.

19 And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.

A snaha njegova, žena Finesova, bijaše trudna i na tom doba, pa èuvši glas da je kovèeg Božji otet i da joj je poginuo svekar i muž, savi se i porodi, jer joj doðoše bolovi.

20 And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke [unto her], Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.

I kad umiraše, rekoše joj koje stajahu kod nje: ne boj se, rodila si sina. Ali ona ne odgovori, niti hajaše za to.

21 And she named the child I-chabod, saying, Glory is departed from Israel; because of the taking away of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

Nego djetetu nadje ime Ihavod govoreæi: otide slava od Izrailja; jer kovèeg Božji bi otet, i svekar joj i muž pogiboše.

22 And she said, Glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God hath been taken away.

Zato reèe: otide slava od Izrailja; jer bi otet kovèeg Božji.
