< 1 Samuelova 4 >

1 I stalo se vedlé řeči Samuelovy všemu lidu Izraelskému. Nebo když vytáhl Izrael proti Filistinským k boji, a položili se při Eben-Ezer, Filistinští pak položili se v Afeku;
and Samuel's words were communicated to all the Israelites. The Israelites marched out to confront the Philistines in battle. They set up camp at Ebenezer, while the Philistines set up camp at Aphek.
2 A když se sšikovali Filistinští proti Izraelovi, a již se potýkali: poražen jest Izrael od Filistinských, tak že jich zbito v té bitvě na poli takměř čtyři tisíce mužů.
The Philistines attacked the Israelites in formation, and when the battle spread, the Philistines defeated the Israelites, killing 4,000 of them on the battlefield.
3 I navrátil se lid do stanů, a řekli starší Izraelští: Proč nás dnes Hospodin porazil před Filistinskými? Vezměme k sobě z Sílo truhlu smlouvy Hospodinovy, ať přijde mezi nás, a vysvobodí nás z rukou nepřátel našich.
When the Israelite army returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the Lord defeat us before Philistines today? Let's go and get the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Shiloh, so that he can accompany us and save us from our enemies.”
4 Poslal tedy lid do Sílo, a vzali odtud truhlu smlouvy Hospodina zástupů, sedícího na cherubínech. Byli také tam dva synové Elí s truhlou smlouvy Boží, Ofni a Fínes.
So the army sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the Ark of the Lord Almighty's Agreement, he who sits on his throne between the cherubim. Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the Ark of the God's Agreement.
5 Když pak přinesena byla truhla smlouvy Hospodinovy do vojska, zkřikl všecken Izrael s velikým plésáním, až země vzněla.
When the Ark of the Lord's Agreement arrived in the camp, all the Israelites gave such a loud shout it made the ground shake.
6 Uslyševše pak Filistinští hluk plésání, řekli: Jaký jest to hlas výskání velikého tohoto v vojště Hebrejském? I poznali, že truhla Hospodinova přišla do vojska.
When the Philistines heard all the shouting, they asked, “What's the meaning of this shouting in the Israelite camp?” When they found out that the Ark of the Lord had arrived in the camp,
7 Protož báli se Filistinští, když praveno bylo: Přišel Bůh do vojska jejich; a řekli: Běda nám, nebo nebylo prvé nic k tomu podobného.
the Philistines were afraid. “A god has arrived in the camp,” they said. “We're in trouble, for nothing like this has happened before.
8 Běda nám! Kdo nás vysvobodí z ruky těch bohů silných? Tiť jsou bohové, kteříž zbili Egypt všelikou ranou i na poušti.
This is disaster for us! Who will save us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who attacked the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
9 Posilňte se a buďte muži, ó Filistinští, abyste nesloužili těm Hebrejským, jako oni sloužili vám; buďtež tedy muži a bojujte.
Be brave, and fight like real men, Philistines! Otherwise you'll end up as slaves to the Israelites, just as they were your slaves. Now be real men and fight!”
10 Bojovali tedy Filistinští, a poražen jest Izrael, a utíkali jeden každý do stanu svého. I byla ta porážka veliká velmi, nebo padlo z Izraele třidceti tisíc pěších;
So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated—every man ran away home. The death toll was very large: thirty thousand of the Israelite infantry were killed.
11 Také truhla Boží vzata, a dva synové Elí zabiti, Ofni a Fínes.
The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, Eli's two sons, died.
12 Běže pak jeden Beniaminský z bitvy, přišel do Sílo téhož dne, maje roucho roztržené a hlavu prstí posypanou.
A man from the tribe of Benjamin ran from the battle that day all the way to Shiloh. His clothes were torn and he had dirt on his head.
13 Přišel tedy, a aj, Elí seděl na stolici při cestě, hledě, nebo srdce jeho lekalo se za truhlu Boží; a když všel muž ten, a oznámil v městě, kvílilo všecko město.
When he arrived, Eli was sitting there on his chair by the road, watching out for news because he was worried about the Ark of God. When the man came into town and gave his report, the whole town cried out loud.
14 A uslyšev Elí hlas křiku toho, řekl: Jaký jest to hlas hřmotu tohoto? Muž pak ten pospíchaje, přiběhl, aby oznámil Elí.
Eli heard the crying and asked, “What's all this noise?” The man rushed over to Eli and told him what had happened.
15 (A byl Elí v devadesáti a osmi letech; oči také jeho byly již pošly, a nemohl viděti.)
Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were fixed because he couldn't see.
16 I řekl muž ten k Elí: Já jdu z bitvy, z bitvy zajisté utekl jsem dnes. I dí jemu on: Co se tam stalo, můj synu?
“I've just come from the battle,” the man said. “I ran away from it today.” “What happened, my son?” Eli asked.
17 Odpověděl ten posel a řekl: Utekl Izrael před Filistinskými, také i porážka veliká stala se v lidu, ano i oba synové tvoji zabiti jsou, Ofni a Fínes, a truhla Boží jest vzata.
“Israel ran away from the Philistines—we were badly defeated,” the messenger replied. “Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed, and the Ark of God has been captured.”
18 I stalo se, že jakž jmenoval truhlu Boží, spadl Elí s stolice nazpět při úhlu brány, a tak zlomiv šíji, umřel; nebo byl muž starý a těžký. On soudil Izraele čtyřidceti let.
As soon as the Ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the town gate. Since he was old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. Eli had been Israel's leader for forty years.
19 Nevěsta pak jeho, manželka Fínesova, jsuc těhotná a blízká porodu, uslyševši také tu pověst, že by truhla Boží vzata byla, a že umřel tchán její i muž její, sklonila se a porodila; nebo se obořily na ni úzkosti její.
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news that the Ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but her labor pains were too strong.
20 A v ten čas, když ona umírala, řekly, kteréž stály při ní: Neboj se, však jsi porodila syna. Kteráž nic neodpověděla, aniž toho připustila k srdci svému.
Just before she died, the women caring for her said, “Don't give up—you have given birth to a son!” But she didn't answer or give any response.
21 I nazvala dítě Ichabod, řkuci: Přestěhovala se sláva z Izraele; proto že vzata byla truhla Boží, a umřel tchán i muž její.
She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has left Israel,” because Ark of God had been captured, and her father-in-law and her husband had died.
22 Protož řekla: Přestěhovala se sláva z Izraele, nebo vzata jest truhla Boží.
She said, “The glory has left Israel, for the Ark of God has been captured.”
