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,
Dumating ang salita ni Samuel sa buong Israel. Ngayon umalis ang Israel upang makipaglaban sa mga Filisteo. Nagtayo sila ng kampo sa Ebenezer, at nagtayo ng kampo ang mga Felisteo sa Afek.
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.
Humanay ang mga Filisteo para labanan ang Israel. Lumaganap ang labanan, natalo ang Israel ng mga Filisteo, na pumatay ng halos apat na libong kalalakihan sa lugar ng labanan.
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.”
Nang dumating ang mga tao sa kampo, sinabi ng nakakatanda ng Israel, “Bakit tayo pinatalo ni Yahweh ngayon sa mga Filisteo? Dalhin natin ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh dito mula sa Silo, upang makasama natin iyon dito, para panatilihin tayong ligtas mula sa kapangyarihan ng ating mga kaaway.”
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.
Kaya nagpadala ang mga tao ng kalalakihan sa Silo; mula roon dinala nila ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, na nakaupo sa itaas ng querobin. Ang dalawang anak na lalaki ni Eli na sina Hofni at Finehas ay naroon kasama ang kaban ng tipan ng Diyos.
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.
Nang dumating ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh sa kampo, sumigaw nang malakas ang lahat ng mga tao ng Israel, at umugong ang mundo.
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.
Nang narinig ng mga Filisteo ang ingay ng hiyawan, sinabi nila, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong malakas na hiyawan sa kampo ng mga Hebreo?” Pagkatapos napagtanto nila na dumating ang kaban ni Yahweh sa kampo.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying, “God has entered into the camp.” And they groaned, saying:
Natakot ang mga Filisteo; sinabi nila, “Dumating ang Diyos sa kampo.” Sinabi nila, “Kapighatian sa atin!” Hindi pa nangyayari ito noon!
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.”
Kapighatian sa atin! Sino ang magtatanggol sa atin mula sa lakas nitong makapangyarihang Diyos? Ito ang Diyos na sumalakay sa mga taga-Ehipto sa pamamagitan ng marami at iba't ibang uri ng salot sa ilang.
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!”
Lakasan ninyo ang loob ninyo, at magpakalalaki kayo, kayong mga Filisteo, o magiging mga alipin kayo para sa mga Hebreo, gaya ng naging mga alipin sila sa inyo. Magpakalalaki kayo, at lumaban.”
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.
Nakipaglaban ang mga Filisteo, at natalo ang Israel. Tumakas ang bawat isa sa kanyang bahay, at ang patayan ay napakalawak; sapagka't natalo ang tatlumpung libong sundalo mula sa Israel.
11 And the ark of God was captured. Also, the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at namatay ang dalawang lalaking anak ni Eli, na sina Hofni at Finehas.
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.
Tumakbo ang isang lalaki ng Benjamin mula sa hanay ng labanan at nakarating sa Silo sa parehong araw, dumating na punit ang kanyang mga damit at may lupa sa kanyang ulo.
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.
Nang nakarating siya, nakaupo si Eli sa kanyang upuan na nakatingin sa daan dahil kumabog ang kanyang puso na may pag-aalala para sa kaban ng Diyos. Nang pumasok ang lalaki sa lungsod at sinabi ang balita, umiyak ang buong lungsod.
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.
Nang narinig ni Eli ang ingay ng iyakan, sinabi niya, “Ano ang kahulugan nitong hiyawan?” Biglang dumating ang lalaki at sinabi kay Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had dimmed, so that he was not able to see.
Ngayon siyamnapu't walong taong gulang na si Eli; malabo ang kanyang mga mata, at hindi siya makakita.
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?”
Sinabi ng lalaki kay Eli, “Ako ang isang nanggaling mula sa hanay ng labanan. Tumakas ako mula sa labanan sa araw na ito.” At sinabi niya, “Ano ang nangyari, anak ko?”
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.”
Sumagot at nagsabi ang lalaking nagdala ng balita, “Tumakas ang Israel mula sa mga Filisteo. Mayroon ding isang malaking pagkatalo sa mga tao. Ang iyong dalawang anak na lalaki, na sina Hofni at Finehas ay patay na, at nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
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.
Nang nabanggit niya ang kaban ng Diyos, natumba patalikod si Eli mula sa kanyang upuan sa gilid ng tarangkahan. Nabali ang kanyang leeg, at namatay siya, dahil matanda na siya at mabigat. Naging hukom siya ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon.
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.
Ngayon ang kanyang manugang na babae, asawa ni Finehas, ay buntis at malapit ng manganganak. Nang narinig niya ang balita na nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos at ang kanyang biyenang lalaki at ang kanyang asawa ay patay na, lumuhod siya at nanganak, ngunit nagpahina sa kanya ang hirap ng kanyang panganganak.
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.
Sinabi sa kanya ng babaeng nagpapaanak sa oras na malapit na siyang mamatay, “Huwag kang matakot, dahil nanganak ka ng isang lalaki.” Ngunit hindi siya sumagot o isinapuso kung ano ang kanilang sinabi.
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.
Pinangalanan niya ang bata ng Icabod, na nagsasabing, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel!” dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos, at dahil sa kanyang biyenan at kanyang asawa.
22 And she said, “The glory has been taken away from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured.
At sinabi niya, “Nawala ang kaluwalhatian mula sa Israel, dahil nakuha ang kaban ng Diyos.”
