¹And what Samuel had said happened to all Israel. And Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

¹A slovo Samuelovo sa splnilo celému Izraelovi. Lebo Izrael vyšiel proti Filištínom do boja a položili sa táborom pri Ében-ézere, a Filištíni táborili v Aféku.

²And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and the battle spread, and Israel was routed before the Philistines; and they slew in battle array in the field about four thousand men.

²A Filištíni sa zriadili do boja proti Izraelovi, a keď sa rozvinul boj, porazený bol Izrael pred Filištínmi, a pobili na bojišti, na poli, okolo štyroch tisícov mužov.

³And the people came into the camp; and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch ourselves the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.

³Keď potom prišiel ľud do tábora, povedali starší Izraelovi: Prečo nás dnes porazil Hospodin pred Filištínmi? Vezmime k sebe zo Síla truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej. Keď prijde do nášho stredu, zachráni nás a vyslobodí z ruky našich nepriateľov.

⁴So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there by the ark of the covenant of God.

⁴A tak poslal ľud do Síla, a doniesli odtiaľ truhlu smluvy Hospodina Zástupov, tróniaceho na cherubínoch, a boli tam obaja synovia Éliho s truhlou smluvy Božej, Chofni a Pinchas.

⁵And it came to pass when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, that all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook.

⁵A stalo sa, keď prišla truhla smluvy Hospodinovej do tábora, že skríkol od radosti celý Izrael veľkým krikom, takže dunela zem.

⁶And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.

⁶A keď počuli Filištíni hlas radostného kriku, povedali: Čo je to jaký zvuk toho veľkého radostného kriku v tábore Hebrejov? A dozvedeli sa, že truhla Hospodinova prišla do tábora.

⁷And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.

⁷Preto sa báli Filištíni, lebo vraveli: Bôh prišiel do tábora! A povedali: Beda nám! Lebo také niečo sa ešte nikdy nestalo doteraz!

⁸Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.

⁸Beda nám! Kto nás vytrhne z ruky tých slávnych bohov?! To sú tí bohovia, ktorí bili Egypťanov všelijakými ranami na púšti.

⁹Shew yourselves valiant and be men, ye Philistines, that ye may not have to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: be men, and fight.

⁹Posilnite sa a buďte mužmi, Filištíni! Aby ste neslúžili Hebrejom, ako oni vám slúžili! Ale buďte mužmi a bojujte!

¹⁰And the Philistines fought, and Israel was routed, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

¹⁰Aj bojovali Filištíni, a Izrael bol porazený, a utekali každý do svojho stánu. A porážka bola veľmi veliká, a padlo z Izraela tridsať tisíc mužov peších.

¹¹And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

¹¹A truhla Božia bola vzatá, a obidvaja synovia Éliho zomreli, Chofni a Pinchas.

¹²And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head.

¹²Potom bežal nejaký muž z pokolenia Benjaminovho s bojišťa a prišiel do Síla toho dňa a mal svoje rúcho roztrhnuté a svoju hlavu posypanú zemou.

¹³And when he came, behold, Eli was sitting upon the seat by the way-side watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

¹³A keď prišiel, hľa, Éli sedel na stolici pri ceste a vyzeral, lebo jeho srdce sa triaslo o truhlu Božiu, a človek prišiel, aby oznámil v meste, čo sa stalo. A kričalo zdesením celé mesto.

¹⁴And Eli heard the noise of the crying, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came hastily, and told Eli.

¹⁴A keď počul Éli hlas kriku, povedal: Čo je to jaký nepokojný hukot? A človek sa ponáhľal a prijdúc oznámil to Élimu.

¹⁵Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.

¹⁵A Élimu bolo deväťdesiatosem rokov, a jeho oči boly zašly, takže nemohol vidieť.

¹⁶And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son?

¹⁶A človek povedal Élimu: Ja som ten, ktorý som prišiel s bojišťa, a ja som dnes utiekol s bojišťa. A Éli mu povedal: Čo sa to stalo, môj synu?

¹⁷And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

¹⁷A zvestovateľ odpovedal a riekol: Izrael uteká pred Filištínmi, aj veľká porážka stala sa v ľude, aj obaja tvoji synovia zomreli, Chofni a Pinchas, a truhla Božia je vzatá.

¹⁸And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁸A stalo sa, ako spomenul truhlu Božiu, že padnul so stolice nazad vedľa brány a zlomil si väzy i zomrel, lebo človek bol starý a ťažký a on súdil Izraela štyridsať rokov.

¹⁹And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.

¹⁹A jeho nevesta, žena Pinchasova, bola tehotná majúc porodiť. Tá keď počula zvesť a k tomu ešte i to, že vzali truhlu Božiu a že zomrel jej svokor i jej muž, sklonila sa a porodila, lebo prišly na ňu jej bolesti.

²⁰And as she was dying, the women that stood by her said, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she did not answer, neither did she take it to heart.

²⁰A v ten čas, keď zomierala, vravely jej ženy, ktoré stály nad ňou: Neboj sa, lebo si porodila syna. Ale neodpovedala ani si toho nevšímala.

²¹And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

²¹A nazvala chlapča Ichabod, lebo riekla: Odstehovala sa sláva z Izraela a k tomu bola vzatá i truhla Božia, a zomrel i jej svokor i jej muž.

²²And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.

²²Preto riekla: Odstehovala sa sláva z Izraela, pretože bola vzatá truhla Božia.
