SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وكان كلام صموئيل الى جميع اسرائيل وخرج اسرائيل للقاء الفلسطينيين للحرب ونزلوا عند حجر المعونة واما الفلسطينيون فنزلوا في افيق.1 and Samuel spoke to all Israel.
2 واصطف الفلسطينيون للقاء اسرائيل واشتبكت الحرب فانكسر اسرائيل امام الفلسطينيين وضربوا من الصف في الحقل نحو اربعة آلاف رجل.2 The Philistines then drew up in battle formation against Israel. After a fierce struggle Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who slew about four thousand men on the battlefield.
3 فجاء الشعب الى المحلّة. وقال شيوخ اسرائيل لماذا كسرنا اليوم الرب امام الفلسطينيين. لنأخذ لانفسنا من شيلوه تابوت عهد الرب فيدخل في وسطنا ويخلصنا من يد اعدائنا.3 When the troops retired to the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD permitted us to be defeated today by the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the LORD from Shiloh that it may go into battle among us and save us from the grasp of our enemies."
4 فارسل الشعب الى شيلوه وحملوا من هناك تابوت عهد رب الجنود الجالس على الكروبيم. وكان هناك ابنا عالي حفني وفينحاس مع تابوت عهد الله.4 So the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the LORD of hosts, who is enthroned upon the cherubim. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of God.
5 وكان عند دخول تابوت عهد الرب الى المحلّة ان جميع اسرائيل هتفوا هتافا عظيما حتى ارتجّت الارض.5 When the ark of the LORD arrived in the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth resounded.
6 فسمع الفلسطينيون صوت الهتاف فقالوا ما هو صوت هذا الهتاف العظيم في محلّة العبرانيين. وعلموا ان تابوت الرب جاء الى المحلّة.6 The Philistines, hearing the noise of shouting, asked, "What can this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" On learning that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp,
7 فخاف الفلسطينيون لانهم قالوا قد جاء الله الى المحلّة. وقالوا ويل لنا لانه لم يكن مثل هذا منذ امس ولا ما قبله.7 the Philistines were frightened. They said, "Gods have come to their camp." They said also, "Woe to us! This has never happened before.
8 ويل لنا. من ينقذنا من يد هؤلاء الآلهة القادرين. هؤلاء هم الآلهة الذين ضربوا مصر بجميع الضربات في البرية.8 Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with various plagues and with pestilence.
9 تشددوا وكونوا رجالا ايها الفلسطينيون لئلا تستعبدوا للعبرانيين كما استعبدوا هم لكم. فكونوا رجالا وحاربوا.9 Take courage and be manly, Philistines; otherwise you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they were your slaves. So fight manfully!"
10 فحارب الفلسطينيون وانكسر اسرائيل وهربوا كل واحد الى خيمته. وكانت الضربة عظيمة جدا. وسقط من اسرائيل ثلاثون الف راجل.10 The Philistines fought and Israel was defeated; every man fled to his own tent. It was a disastrous defeat, in which Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers.
11 وأخذ تابوت الله ومات ابنا عالي حفني وفينحاس11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were among the dead.
12 فركض رجل من بنيامين من الصف وجاء الى شيلوه في ذلك اليوم وثيابه ممزقة وتراب على راسه.12 A Benjaminite fled from the battlefield and reached Shiloh that same day, with his clothes torn and his head covered with dirt.
13 ولما جاء فاذا عالي جالس على كرسي بجانب الطريق يراقب لان قلبه كان مضطربا لاجل تابوت الله. ولما جاء الرجل ليخبر في المدينة صرخت المدينة كلها.13 When he arrived, Eli was sitting in his chair beside the gate, watching the road, for he was troubled at heart about the ark of God. The man, however, went into the city to divulge his news, which put the whole city in an uproar.
14 فسمع عالي صوت الصراخ فقال ما هو صوت الضجيج هذا. فاسرع الرجل واخبر عالي.14 Hearing the outcry of the men standing near him, Eli inquired, "What does this commotion mean?"
15 وكان عالي ابن ثمان وتسعين سنة وقامت عيناه ولم يقدر ان يبصر.15 (Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes would not focus, so that he could not see.)
16 فقال الرجل لعالي انا جئت من الصف وانا هربت اليوم من الصف. فقال كيف كان الأمر يا ابني.16 The man quickly came up to Eli and said, "It is I who have come from the battlefield; I fled from there today." He asked, "What happened, my son?"
17 فاجاب المخبر وقال هرب اسرائيل امام الفلسطينيين وكانت ايضا كسرة عظيمة في الشعب ومات ايضا ابناك حفني وفينحاس وأخذ تابوت الله.17 And the messenger answered: "Israel fled from the Philistines; in fact, the troops suffered heavy losses. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are among the dead, and the ark of God has been captured."
18 وكان لما ذكر تابوت الله انه سقط عن الكرسي الى الوراء الى جانب الباب فانكسرت رقبته ومات. لانه كان رجلا شيخا وثقيلا. وقد قضى لاسرائيل اربعين سنة18 At this mention of the ark of God, Eli fell backward from his chair into the gateway; since he was an old man and heavy, he died of a broken neck. He had judged Israel for forty years.
19 وكنّته امرأة فينحاس كانت حبلى تكاد تلد. فلما سمعت خبر اخذ تابوت الله وموت حميها ورجلها ركعت وولدت لان مخاضها انقلب عليها.19 His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and at the point of giving birth. When she heard the news concerning the capture of the ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she was seized with the pangs of labor, and gave birth.
20 وعند احتضارها قالت لها الواقفات عندها لا تخافي لانك قد ولدت ابنا. فلم تجب ولم يبال قلبها.20 She was about to die when the women standing around her said to her, "Never fear! You have given birth to a son." Yet she neither answered nor paid any attention.
21 فدعت الصبي ايخابود قائلة قد زال المجد من اسرائيل لان تابوت الله قد أخذ ولاجل حميها ورجلها.21 (She named the child Ichabod, saying, "Gone is the glory from Israel," with reference to the capture of the ark of God and to her father-in-law and her husband.)
22 فقالت زال المجد من اسرائيل لان تابوت الله قد أخذ22 She said, "Gone is the glory from Israel," because the ark of God had been captured.
