1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.
I bijaše kovèeg Gospodnji u zemlji Filistejskoj sedam mjeseca.
2 And the Philistines sent for the priests and those who were wise in secret arts, and said to them, What are we to do with the ark of the Lord? How are we to send it away to its place?
Tada dozvaše Filisteji sveštenike i vraèe, pa im rekoše: šta æemo èiniti s kovèegom Gospodnjim? nauèite nas kako æemo ga poslati natrag na njegovo mjesto.
3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without an offering, but send him a sin-offering with it: then you will have peace again, and it will be clear to you why the weight of his hand has not been lifted from you.
A oni rekoše: ako æete natrag poslati kovèeg Boga Izrailjeva, ne šaljite ga prazna, nego uza nj podajte prinos za grijeh; tada æete ozdraviti i doznaæete zašto se ruka njegova nije odmakla od vas.
4 Then they said, What sin-offering are we to send to him? And they said, Five gold images of the growths caused by your disease and five gold mice, one for every lord of the Philistines: for the same disease came on you and on your lords.
A oni rekoše: kakav æemo mu dati prinos za grijeh? A oni rekoše: prema broju kneževina Filistejskih pet zlatnijeh šuljeva i pet zlatnijeh miševa; jer je zlo jednako na svjema vama i na knezovima vašim.
5 So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.
Naèinite dakle slike od svojih šuljeva i slike od miševa koji kvare zemlju, i podajte slavu Bogu Izrailjevu. Može biti da æe ulakšati ruku svoju nad vama i nad bogovima vašim i nad zemljom vašom.
6 Why do you make your hearts hard, like the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptians? When he had made sport of them, did they not let the people go, and they went away?
I zašto biste bili uporna srca kao što bijahu uporna srca Misirci i Faraon? i pošto uèini èudesa na njima, eda li ih tada ne pustiše, te otidoše?
7 So now, take and make ready a new cart, and two cows which have never come under the yoke, and have the cows yoked to the cart, and take their young ones away from them:
Zato naèinite jedna kola nova, i uzmite dvije krave dojilice, na kojima još nije bio jaram, pa upregnite krave u kola, a telad njihovu odvedite od njih kuæi.
8 And put the ark of the Lord on the cart, and the gold images which you are sending as a sin-offering in a chest by its side; and send it away so that it may go.
Pa uzmite kovèeg Gospodnji i metnite ga na kola; a zaklade zlatne što æete mu dati za grijeh metnite u kovèežiæ pokraj njega, i pustite ga neka ide.
9 If it goes by the land of Israel to Beth-shemesh, then this great evil is his work; but if not, then we may be certain that the evil was not his doing, but was the working of chance.
I gledajte: ako poðe putem k meði svojoj u Vet-Semes, on nam je uèinio ovo veliko zlo; ako li ne poðe tako, onda æemo znati da nas se nije dohvatila ruka njegova, nego nam se dogodilo sluèajno.
10 And the men did so; they took two cows, yoking them to the cart and shutting up their young ones in their living-place:
I uèiniše tako oni ljudi; i uzevši dvije krave dojilice upregoše ih u kola, a telad njihovu zatvoriše kod kuæe.
11 And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the chest with the gold images.
I metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji na kola, i mali kovèežiæ s mišima zlatnijem i sa slikama svojih šuljeva.
12 And the cows took the straight way, by the road to Beth-shemesh; they went by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, and the sound of their voices was clear on the road; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the edge of Beth-shemesh.
I poðoše krave pravo putem u Vet-Semes, i jednako iðahu istijem putem muèuæi i ne svræuæi ni nadesno ni nalijevo; a knezovi Filistejski iðahu za njima do meðe Vet-Semeske.
13 And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.
A Vet-Semešani žnjahu pšenicu u dolini, i podigavši oèi svoje vidješe kovèeg, i obradovaše se vidjevši ga.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and came to a stop there by a great stone: and cutting up the wood of the cart they made a burned offering of the cows to the Lord.
I doðoše kola na njivu Isusa Vet-Semešanina, i stadoše ondje. A bijaše ondje velik kamen; i iscjepaše drva od kola, i prinesoše one krave na žrtvu paljenicu Gospodu.
15 Then the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest in which were the gold images, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh made burned offerings and gave worship that day before the Lord.
A Leviti snimivši kovèeg Gospodnji i kovèežiæ što bješe pokraj njega, u kojem bijahu zakladi zlatni, metnuše na onaj veliki kamen; a ljudi iz Vet-Semesa gotoviše žrtve paljenice i prinosiše žrtve Gospodu onaj dan.
16 And the five lords of the Philistines, having seen it, went back to Ekron the same day.
A to vidjevši pet knezova Filistejskih vratiše se u Akaron isti dan.
17 Now these are the gold images which the Philistines sent as a sin-offering to the Lord; one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;
A ovo bjehu zlatni šuljevi koje dadoše Filisteji Gospodu za grijeh: za Azot jedan, za Gazu jedan, za Askalon jedan, za Gat jedan, za Akaron jedan.
18 And the gold mice, one for every town of the Philistines, the property of the five lords, walled towns as well as country places: and the great stone where they put the ark of the Lord is still in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite to this day.
I miši zlatni bjehu prema broju svijeh gradova Filistejskih, u pet kneževina, svijeh zidanijeh gradova i sela neograðenijeh do velikoga kamena, na koji metnuše kovèeg Gospodnji, i koji je i danas u polju Isusa Vet-Semešanina.
19 But the Lord sent destruction on seventy men of the people of Beth-shemesh for looking into the ark of the Lord; and great was the sorrow of the people for the destruction which the Lord had sent on them.
Ali pobi Gospod neke izmeðu Vet-Semešana koji zagledaše u kovèeg Gospodnji, i pobi iz naroda pedeset tisuæa i sedamdeset ljudi. I plaka narod što ga Gospod udari velikom pogiblju.
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to keep his place before the Lord, this holy God? and to whom may he go from us?
I ljudi iz Vet-Semesa rekoše: ko može ostati pred tijem Gospodom Bogom svetijem? i ka kome æe otiæi od nas?
21 And they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have sent back the ark of the Lord; come and take it up to your country.
I poslaše poslanike k stanovnicima Kirijat-Jarimskim govoreæi: donesoše natrag Filisteji kovèeg Gospodnji, hodite, odnesite ga k sebi.
