¹The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

¹Ja Saamueli sõna tuli kogu Iisraeli kätte. Ja Iisrael läks sõtta vilistite vastu; nad lõid leeri üles Eben-Eeseri juurde ja vilistid olid asunud leeri Afekasse.

²The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was struck before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.

²Ja vilistid seadsid endid tapluseks Iisraeli vastu: aga kui taplus oli levinud, siis oli Iisrael mahalöödult vilistite ees; need lõid võitlusväljal maha ligi neli tuhat meest.

³When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh struck us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”

³Kui rahvas tuli leeri, siis ütlesid Iisraeli vanemad: 'Mispärast laskis Issand meid täna vilistitel maha lüüa? Võtkem eneste juurde Issanda seaduselaegas Siilost, et ta tuleks meie keskele ja päästaks meid meie vaenlaste käest!'

⁴So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

⁴Siis rahvas läkitas mehed Siilosse ja need tõid sealt ära keerubitel istuva vägede Issanda seaduselaeka; ja seal olid mõlemad Eeli pojad, Hofni ja Piinehas, Jumala seaduselaeka juures.

⁵When the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

⁵Ja kui Issanda seaduselaegas jõudis leeri, siis tõstis kogu Iisrael valju rõõmukisa, nõnda et maa kõmas.

⁶When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that the ark of Yahweh had come into the camp.

⁶Aga kui vilistid kuulsid hõiskamise kära, siis nad küsisid: 'Mis suur hõiskamise kära see on heebrealaste leeris?' Ja nad said teada, et Issanda laegas oli tulnud leeri.

⁷The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.

⁷Siis vilistid kartsid, sest nad ütlesid: 'Jumalad on tulnud leeri!' Ja nad ütlesid: 'Häda meile, sest seesugust ei ole iialgi varem juhtunud!

⁸Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

⁸Häda meile! Kes päästab meid nende vägevate jumalate käest? Need on need jumalad, kes lõid Egiptust kõiksugu nuhtlustega kõrbes.

⁹Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”

⁹Kinnitage endid ja olge mehed, te vilistid, et te ei peaks teenima heebrealasi, nagu nemad teenisid teid! Olge mehed ja sõdige!'

¹⁰The Philistines fought, and Israel was struck, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

¹⁰Ja vilistid sõdisid ning Iisraeli löödi, nõnda et nad põgenesid igamees oma telki; ja kaotus oli väga suur, sest Iisraelist langes kolmkümmend tuhat jalameest.

¹¹The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

¹¹Ja Jumala laegas võeti ära ning mõlemad Eeli pojad, Hofni ja Piinehas, said surma.

¹²There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.

¹²Aga keegi benjaminlane jooksis lahingust ära ja tuli selsamal päeval Siilosse, riided lõhki käristatud ja mulda pea peal.

¹³When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

¹³Ja kui ta tuli, vaata, siis istus Eeli istmel tee kõrval valvates, sest ta süda värises Jumala laeka pärast; ja kui mees jõudis linna kuulutama, siis kisendas kogu linn.

¹⁴When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.

¹⁴Kui Eeli kuulis kisendushäält, siis ta küsis: 'Mis kära see on?' Siis ruttas mees ja tuli ning jutustas Eelile.

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

¹⁵Eeli oli üheksakümmend kaheksa aastat vana ja ta silmad olid tuhmid, nõnda et ta enam ei näinud.

¹⁶The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”

¹⁶Ja mees ütles Eelile: 'Mina olen lahingust tulija. Ma põgenesin täna lahingust.' Ja tema küsis: 'Kuidas oli lugu, mu poeg?'

¹⁷He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”

¹⁷Siis kostis sõnumitooja ja ütles: 'Iisrael põgenes vilistite eest ja rahva kaotuski on suur. Ka su mõlemad pojad, Hofni ja Piinehas, on surnud ning Jumala laegas on ära võetud.'

¹⁸It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁸Ja sündis, kui ta Jumala laegast nimetas, et Eeli kukkus istmelt värava kõrval tagurpidi, murdis oma kaela ja suri, sest mees oli vana ja raske; ta oli Iisraelile kohut mõistnud nelikümmend aastat.

¹⁹His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.

¹⁹Ja tema minia, Piinehasi naine, oli viimaseid päevi lapseootel; kui ta kuulis seda sõnumit, et Jumala laegas oli ära võetud ja ta äi ja mees surnud, siis ta varises kokku ja sünnitas, sest temale tulid sünnitusvaevad.

²⁰About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid; for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.

²⁰Ja otse ta suremise ajal ütlesid naised, kes seisid ta juures: 'Ära karda, sest sa oled sünnitanud poja!' Aga tema ei vastanud ega pannud tähelegi,

²¹She named the child Ichabod, “Ichabod” means “no glory.” saying, “The glory has departed from Israel”; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

²¹vaid pani poeglapsele nimeks Iikabod, et öelda: 'Au on Iisraelist lahkunud', sellepärast et Jumala laegas oli ära võetud, ning oma äia ja mehe pärast.

²²She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.”

²²Ja ta ütles: 'Au on Iisraelist lahkunud, sest Jumala laegas on ära võetud.'
