사무엘상 4

1사무엘의 말이 온 이스라엘에 전파되니라 이스라엘은 나가서 블레셋 사람과 싸우려고 에벤에셀 곁에 진 치고 블레셋 사람은 아벡에 진 쳤더니 2이스라엘을 대하여 항오를 벌이니라 그 둘이 싸우다가 이스라엘이 블레셋 사람 앞에서 패하여 그들에게 전쟁에서 죽임을 당한 군사가 사천 명 가량이라 3백성이 진으로 돌아오매 이스라엘 장로들이 가로되 여호와께서 어찌하여 우리로 오늘 블레셋 사람 앞에 패하게 하셨는고 여호와의 언약궤를 실로에서 우리에게로 가져다가 우리 중에 있게 하여 그것으로 우리를 우리 원수들의 손에서 구원하게 하자 하니 4이에 백성이 실로에 보내어 그룹 사이에 계신 만군의 여호와의 언약궤를 거기서 가져왔고 엘리의 두 아들 홉니와 비느하스는 하나님의 언약궤와 함께 거기 있었더라 5여호와의 언약궤가 진에 들어 올 때에 온 이스라엘이 큰 소리로 외치매 땅이 울린지라 6블레셋 사람이 그 외치는 소리를 듣고 가로되 히브리 진에서 큰 소리로 외침은 어찜이뇨 하다가 여호와의 궤가 진에 들어온 줄을 깨달은지라 7블레셋 사람이 두려워하여 가로되 신이 진에 이르렀도다 하고 또 가로되 우리에게 화로다 전일에는 이런 일이 없었도다 8우리에게 화로다 누가 우리를 이 능한 신들의 손에서 건지리요 그들은 광야에서 여러가지 재앙으로 애굽인을 친 신들이니라 9너희 블레셋 사람들아 강하게 되며 대장부가 되어라 너희가 히브리 사람의 종이 되기를 그들이 너희의 종이 되었던 것 같이 말고 대장부 같이 되어 싸우라 하고 10블레셋 사람이 쳤더니 이스라엘이 패하여 각기 장막으로 도망하였고 살륙이 심히 커서 이스라엘 보병의 엎드러진 자가 삼만이었으며 11하나님의 궤는 빼앗겼고 엘리의 두 아들 홉니와 비느하스는 죽임을 당하였더라 12당일에 어떤 베냐민 사람이 진에서 달려나와 그 옷을 찢고 그 머리에 티끌을 무릅쓰고 실로에 이르니라 13그가 이를 때는 엘리가 길 곁 자기 의자에 앉아 기다리며 그 마음이 여호와의 궤로 인하여 떨릴 즈음이라 그 사람이 성에 들어 오며 고하매 온 성이 부르짖는지라 14엘리가 그 부르짖는 소리를 듣고 가로되 이 훤화하는 소리는 어찜이뇨 그 사람이 빨리 와서 엘리에게 고하니 15때에 엘리의 나이 구십팔이라 그 눈이 어두워서 보지 못하더라 16그 사람이 엘리에게 고하되 나는 진 중에서 나온 자라 내가 오늘 진 중에서 도망하여 왔나이다 엘리가 가로되 내 아들아 일이 어찌 되었느냐 17소식을 전하는 자가 대답하여 가로되 이스라엘이 블레셋 사람 앞에서 도망하였고 백성 중에는 큰 살륙이 있었고 당신의 두 아들 홉니와 비느하스도 죽임을 당하였고 하나님의 궤는 빼앗겼나이다 18하나님의 궤를 말할 때에 엘리가 자기 의자에서 자빠져 문 곁에서 목이 부러져 죽었으니 나이 많고 비둔한 연고라 그가 이스라엘 사사가 된지 사십 년이었더라 19그의 며느리 비느하스의 아내가 잉태하여 산기가 가까웠더니 하나님의 궤 빼앗긴 것과 그 시부와 남편의 죽은 소문을 듣고 갑자기 아파서 몸을 구푸려 해산하고 20죽어갈 때에 곁에 섰던 여인들이 그에게 이르되 두려워 말라 네가 아들을 낳았다 하되 그가 대답지도 아니하며 관념치도 아니하고 21이르기를 영광이 이스라엘에서 떠났다 하고 아이 이름을 이가봇이라 하였으니 하나님의 궤가 빼앗겼고 그 시부와 남편이 죽었음을 인함이며 22또 이르기를 하나님의 궤를 빼앗겼으므로 영광이 이스라엘에서 떠났다 하였더라

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. 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. 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.” 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. 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. 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 Yahweh’s ark had come into the camp. 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. 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. 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!” 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. 11The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 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. 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. 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. 15Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see. 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?” 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.” 18When he made mention of the ark of God, 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. 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. 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. 21She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel”; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.”

1En het woord van Samuel geschiedde aan gans Israel. En Israel toog uit, den Filistijnen tegemoet, ten strijde, en legerde zich bij Eben-Haezer, maar de Filistijnen legerden zich bij Afek. 2En de Filistijnen stelden zich in slagorden, om Israel te ontmoeten; en als zich de strijd uitspreidde, zo werd Israel voor der Filistijnen aangezicht geslagen; want zij sloegen in de slagorden in het veld omtrent vier duizend man. 3Als het volk wederom in het leger gekomen was, zo zeiden de oudsten van Israel: Waarom heeft ons de HEERE heden geslagen voor het aangezicht der Filistijnen? Laat ons van Silo tot ons nemen de ark des verbonds des HEEREN, en laat die in het midden van ons komen, opdat zij ons verlosse van de hand onzer vijanden. 4Het volk dan zond naar Silo, en men bracht van daar de ark des verbonds des HEEREN der heirscharen, die tussen de cherubim woont; en de twee zonen van Eli, Hofni en Pinehas, waren daar met de ark des verbonds van God. 5En het geschiedde, als de ark des verbonds des HEEREN in het leger kwam, zo juichte gans Israel met een groot gejuich, alzo dat de aarde dreunde. 6Als nu de Filistijnen de stem van het juichen hoorden, zo zeiden zij: Wat is de stem van dit grote juichen in het leger der Hebreen? Toen vernamen zij, dat de ark des HEEREN in het leger gekomen was. 7Daarom vreesden de Filistijnen, want zij zeiden: God is in het leger gekomen. En zij zeiden: Wee ons, want dergelijke is gisteren en eergisteren niet geschied! 8Wee ons, wie zal ons redden uit de hand van deze heerlijke goden? Dit zijn dezelfde goden, die de Egyptenaars met alle plagen geplaagd hebben, bij de woestijn. 9Zijt sterk, en weest mannen, gij Filistijnen, opdat gij de Hebreen niet misschien dient, gelijk als zij ulieden gediend hebben; zo zijt mannen, en strijdt. 10Toen streden de Filistijnen, en Israel werd geslagen, en zij vloden een iegelijk in zijn tenten; en er geschiedde een zeer grote nederlaag, zodat er van Israel vielen dertig duizend voetvolks. 11En de ark Gods werd genomen, en de twee zonen van Eli, Hofni en Pinehas, stierven. 12Toen liep er een Benjaminiet uit de slagorden, en kwam te Silo denzelfden dag; en zijn klederen waren gescheurd, en er was aarde op zijn hoofd. 13En als hij kwam, ziet, zo zat Eli op een stoel aan de zijde van den weg, uitziende; want zijn hart was sidderende vanwege de ark Gods. Als die man kwam, om zulks te verkondigen in de stad, toen schreeuwde de ganse stad. 14En als Eli de stem des geroeps hoorde, zo zeide hij: Wat is de stem dezer beroerte? Toen haastte zich die man, en hij kwam en boodschapte het aan Eli. 15(Eli nu was een man van acht en negentig jaren, en zijn ogen stonden stijf, dat hij niet zien kon.) 16En die man zeide tot Eli: Ik ben het, die uit de slagorden kom, en ik ben heden uit de slagorden gevloden. Hij dan zeide: Wat is er geschied, mijn zoon? 17Toen antwoordde hij, die de boodschap bracht, en zeide: Israel is gevloden voor het aangezicht der Filistijnen, en er is ook een grote nederlaag onder het volk geschied; daarenboven zijn uw twee zonen, Hofni en Pinehas, gestorven, en de ark Gods is genomen. 18En het geschiedde, als hij van de ark Gods vermeldde, zo viel hij achterwaarts van den stoel af, aan de zijde der poort, en brak den nek, en stierf; want de man was oud en zwaar; en hij richtte Israel veertig jaren. 19En zijn schoondochter, de huisvrouw van Pinehas, was bevrucht, zij zou baren; als deze de tijding hoorde, dat de ark Gods genomen was, en haar schoonvader gestorven was, en haar man, zo kromde zij zich, en baarde; want haar weeen overvielen haar. 20En omtrent den tijd van haar sterven, zo spraken de vrouwen, die bij haar stonden: Vrees niet, want gij hebt een zoon gebaard. Doch zij antwoordde niet, en nam het niet ter harte. 21En zij noemde het jongsken Ikabod, zeggende: De eer is weggevoerd uit Israel! Omdat de ark Gods gevankelijk weggevoerd was, en om haars schoonvaders en haars mans wil. 22En zij zeide: De eer is gevankelijk weggevoerd uit Israel, want de ark Gods is genomen.
