1 Samuel 4
1 Pada masa itu orang Filistin mengerahkan segenap bala tentaranya untuk menggempur Israel; sebab itu tentara Israel maju ke medan peperangan; mereka berkemah dekat Eben-Haezer, sedang tentara Filistin berkemah di Afek.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
2 Tentara Filistin mulai menyerang, dan setelah pertempuran berlangsung dengan sengit, tentara Israel kalah dan kira-kira empat ribu orang tewas di medan pertempuran itu.
And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
3 Ketika sisa tentara yang kalah sudah kembali ke perkemahan, para pemimpin Israel berkata, "Mengapa gerangan TUHAN membiarkan kita dikalahkan orang Filistin pada hari ini? Mari kita ambil Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dari Silo, dan kita bawa ke mari, supaya TUHAN mau menolong kita dan menyelamatkan kita dari musuh."
And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 Lalu mereka mengutus orang ke Silo untuk mengambil Peti Perjanjian TUHAN yang merupakan takhta TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas, mengiringi Peti Perjanjian itu.
So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Setelah Peti Perjanjian itu sampai di perkemahan, bersoraklah orang Israel dengan begitu nyaring, sehingga bumi bergetar.
And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
6 Orang Filistin juga mendengar bunyi sorak itu lalu mereka berkata, "Mengapa orang-orang Ibrani itu bersorak-sorak?" Tetapi ketika mereka mengetahui bahwa Peti Perjanjian TUHAN telah tiba di perkemahan Ibrani,
And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 mereka menjadi takut, dan berkata, "Ada dewa datang ke perkemahan mereka! Celakalah kita! Belum pernah kita mengalami hal seperti ini!
And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
8 Celakalah betul! Siapakah dapat menyelamatkan kita dari dewa-dewa yang kuat itu? Bukankah dewa-dewa itu pula yang telah membunuh orang Mesir di padang pasir dahulu?
Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
9 Beranikanlah hatimu, hai orang Filistin! Bertempurlah seperti laki-laki, jika tidak, kamu akan menjadi hamba orang-orang Ibrani itu, seperti mereka dahulu menjadi hamba kamu. Sebab itu bertempurlah dengan gagah berani!"
Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
10 Kemudian berperanglah orang Filistin dengan sengit dan mengalahkan tentara Israel. Orang Israel lari ke kemahnya masing-masing. Sungguh besar kekalahan itu: 30.000 prajurit Israel telah gugur.
So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 Peti Perjanjian Allah direbut musuh Israel, dan kedua anak Eli, Hofni dan Pinehas, tewas.
And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
12 Seorang dari suku Benyamin lari dari medan pertempuran ke Silo, dan sampai di situ pada hari itu juga. Sebagai tanda dukacita, telah dikoyak-koyaknya pakaiannya dan ditaruhnya tanah di kepalanya.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
13 Eli, yang sangat cemas memikirkan keselamatan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN, sedang duduk di kursi di tepi jalan, sambil termenung. Ketika orang itu mengabarkan berita kekalahan Israel, seluruh penduduk kota meratap dengan nyaring.
And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
14 Eli mendengar ratapan itu, lalu bertanya, "Keributan apakah itu?" Sementara itu orang tadi berlari kepada Eli; ketika sampai, ia memberitahukan kabar buruk itu.
And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
15 Adapun Eli sudah sembilan puluh delapan tahun umurnya dan ia hampir buta.
Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
16 Orang itu berkata kepada Eli, "Aku lari hari ini dari medan pertempuran dan baru saja sampai." Eli bertanya kepadanya, "Bagaimana kabarnya, anakku?"
And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
17 Pembawa kabar itu menjawab, "Israel lari dari orang Filistin. Kita menderita kekalahan yang besar sekali. Banyak orang yang tewas, juga kedua anak Bapak, Hofni dan Pinehas. Dan Peti Perjanjian Allah direbut musuh!"
And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
18 Ketika orang itu memberitakan tentang Peti Perjanjian itu, Eli jatuh terlentang dari kursinya di sebelah pintu gerbang. Ia begitu tua dan gemuk sehingga waktu jatuh lehernya patah, dan ia tewas. Ia telah memimpin Israel empat puluh tahun lamanya.
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
19 Pada waktu itu, menantu Eli, yaitu istri Pinehas, sedang hamil tua, dan saatnya melahirkan sudah dekat. Ketika didengarnya bahwa Peti Perjanjian Allah telah direbut, dan bahwa mertuanya serta suaminya telah meninggal, tiba-tiba ia merasakan sakit beranak, lalu bersalinlah ia tak lama kemudian.
And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
20 Ketika ia sudah hampir meninggal, para wanita yang menolongnya berkata, "Tabahlah! Anakmu laki-laki!" Namun ia tidak menjawab atau memperhatikan mereka.
And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
21 Anak itu dinamainya Ikabod, katanya, "Kehadiran Allah Yang Mulia telah hilang dari Israel." --yang dimaksudkannya ialah bahwa Peti Perjanjian sudah dirampas dan mertuanya serta suaminya telah meninggal. Sebab itu ia berkata, "Kehadiran Allah Yang Mulia telah hilang dari Israel, karena Peti Perjanjian Allah sudah dirampas."
And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
