1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
egressus est namque Israhel obviam Philisthim in proelium et castrametatus est iuxta lapidem Adiutorii porro Philisthim venerunt in Afec
2 And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
et instruxerunt aciem contra Israhel inito autem certamine terga vertit Israhel Philistheis et caesa sunt in illo certamine passim per agros quasi quattuor milia virorum
3 So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
et reversus est populus ad castra dixeruntque maiores natu de Israhel quare percussit nos Dominus hodie coram Philisthim adferamus ad nos de Silo arcam foederis Domini et veniat in medium nostri ut salvet nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum
4 Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
misit ergo populus in Silo et tulerunt inde arcam foederis Domini exercituum sedentis super cherubin erantque duo filii Heli cum arca foederis Domini Ofni et Finees
5 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
cumque venisset arca foederis Domini in castra vociferatus est omnis Israhel clamore grandi et personuit terra
6 And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
et audierunt Philisthim vocem clamoris dixeruntque quaenam haec est vox clamoris magni in castris Hebraeorum et cognoverunt quod arca Domini venisset in castra
7 And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
timueruntque Philisthim dicentes venit Deus in castra et ingemuerunt
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
vae nobis non enim fuit tanta exultatio heri et nudius tertius vae nobis quis nos servabit de manu deorum sublimium istorum hii sunt dii qui percusserunt Aegyptum omni plaga in deserto
9 Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
confortamini et estote viri Philisthim ne serviatis Hebraeis sicut illi servierunt vobis confortamini et bellate
10 And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
pugnaverunt ergo Philisthim et caesus est Israhel et fugit unusquisque in tabernaculum suum et facta est plaga magna nimis et ceciderunt de Israhel triginta milia peditum
11 And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
et arca Dei capta est duoque filii Heli mortui sunt Ofni et Finees
12 And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
currens autem vir de Beniamin ex acie venit in Silo in die illo scissa veste et conspersus pulvere caput
13 And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
cumque ille venisset Heli sedebat super sellam contra viam aspectans erat enim cor eius pavens pro arca Domini vir autem ille postquam ingressus est nuntiavit urbi et ululavit omnis civitas
14 And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
et audivit Heli sonitum clamoris dixitque quis est hic sonitus tumultus huius at ille festinavit et venit et adnuntiavit Heli
15 (Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
Heli autem erat nonaginta et octo annorum et oculi eius caligaverant et videre non poterat
16 And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
et dixit ad Heli ego sum qui veni de proelio et ego qui de acie fugi hodie cui ille ait quid actum est fili mi
17 Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
respondens autem qui nuntiabat fugit inquit Israhel coram Philisthim et ruina magna facta est in populo insuper et duo filii tui mortui sunt Ofni et Finees et arca Dei capta est
18 And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
cumque ille nominasset arcam Dei cecidit de sella retrorsum iuxta ostium et fractis cervicibus mortuus est senex enim erat vir et grandevus et ipse iudicavit Israhel quadraginta annis
19 And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
nurus autem eius uxor Finees praegnans erat vicinaque partui et audito nuntio quod capta esset arca Dei et mortuus socer suus et vir suus incurvavit se et peperit inruerant enim in eam dolores subiti
20 And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
in ipso autem momento mortis eius dixerunt ei quae stabant circa eam ne timeas quia filium peperisti quae non respondit eis neque animadvertit
21 And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
et vocavit puerum Hicabod dicens translata est gloria de Israhel quia capta est arca Dei et pro socero suo et pro viro suo
22 She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
et ait translata est gloria ab Israhel eo quod capta esset arca Dei
