Förbundsarken erövras av filisteerna
4 (A) Samuels ord kom till hela Israel. Och Israel drog ut till strid mot filisteerna[a] och slog läger vid Eben-Ezer[b], medan filisteerna hade slagit läger vid Afek. 2 Filisteerna ställde då upp sig i slagordning mot Israel. Striden spred sig och israeliterna blev slagna av filisteerna, som nergjorde omkring fyratusen man på slagfältet. 3 (B) När folket kom tillbaka till lägret sade de äldste i Israel: ”Varför har Herren i dag slagit oss inför filisteerna? Låt oss hämta Herrens förbundsark[c] från Shilo så att den är här bland oss och räddar oss från våra fienders hand. 4 (C) Folket sände män till Shilo, och de bar Herren Sebaots förbundsark därifrån, hans som tronar på keruberna[d]. Elis båda söner Hofni och Pinehas följde med Guds förbundsark.
5 När Herrens förbundsark kom in i lägret brast hela Israel ut i ett så högt jubelrop att marken skakade. 6 Filisteerna hörde jubelropet och sade: ”Vad betyder det där höga jubelropet i hebreernas läger?” När filisteerna fick veta att Herrens ark hade kommit in i lägret 7 blev de rädda, för de tänkte: ”Gud har kommit in i lägret.” De sade: ”Ve oss! Något sådant har inte hänt förut. 8 (D) Ve oss! Vem kan rädda oss från den mäktige Gudens hand? Det var den Guden som slog egyptierna med alla slags plågor i öknen. 9 (E) Men fatta mod och var män, filisteer, så ni inte blir slavar åt hebreerna liksom de har varit slavar åt er. Var nu män och kämpa!”
10 Så stred filisteerna, och israeliterna blev slagna och flydde var och en till sitt tält. Nederlaget blev mycket stort, och bland Israel föll trettiotusen man av fotfolket. 11 (F) Dessutom blev Guds ark erövrad, och Elis båda söner Hofni och Pinehas miste livet.
Eli dör
12 (G) En benjaminit sprang från slagfältet och kom samma dag till Shilo, med sönderrivna kläder och jord på sitt huvud. 13 När han kom fram satt Eli på sin stol vid vägkanten och vaktade, för hans hjärta bävade av oro för Guds ark. Så snart mannen kom in i staden och berättade, brast hela staden ut i sorgerop. 14 När Eli hörde ropen sade han: ”Vad är det här för oväsen?” Då skyndade mannen sig dit och berättade för Eli. 15 (H) Men Eli var nittioåtta år gammal, och hans ögon hade starr så att han inte kunde se.
16 Mannen sade till Eli: ”Det är jag som har kommit från slagfältet. Jag flydde från slagfältet i dag.” Då sade Eli: ”Vad har hänt, min son?” 17 Budbäraren svarade: ”Israel har flytt för filisteerna, och många i folket har stupat. Även dina båda söner Hofni och Pinehas är döda, och Guds ark har blivit erövrad.” 18 När han nämnde Guds ark, föll Eli baklänges av stolen vid sidan av porten. Han bröt nacken och dog, för mannen var gammal och tung. Eli hade då varit domare i Israel i fyrtio år.[e]
I-Kabod
19 Hans sonhustru, Pinehas hustru, var havande och nära att föda. Hon fick höra nyheten att Guds ark var bortrövad och att hennes svärfar och man var döda. Då sjönk hon ner och födde sitt barn, för födslovärkarna kom över henne. 20 (I) Medan hon höll på att dö sade kvinnorna som stod omkring henne: ”Var inte rädd, du har fött en son.” Men hon svarade inte och brydde sig inte om det. 21 Hon kallade pojken I-Kabod[f] och sade: ”Härligheten är borta från Israel”, eftersom Guds ark var tagen och hennes svärfar och man var döda. 22 Hon sade: ”Härligheten är borta från Israel, för Guds ark är bortrövad.”

The Death of Eli
4 And the word of Samuel came to all [a]Israel.
The Ark of God Captured
Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines, and encamped beside (A)Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek. 2 Then the (B)Philistines put themselves in battle array against Israel. And when they joined battle, Israel was [b]defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field. 3 And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? (C)Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies.” 4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, (D)who dwells between (E)the cherubim. And the (F)two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook. 6 Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Then they understood that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp. 7 So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp!” And they said, (G)“Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before. 8 Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness. 9 (H)Be strong and conduct yourselves like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, (I)as they have been to you. [c]Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!”
10 So the Philistines fought, and (J)Israel was [d]defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 Also (K)the ark of God was captured; and (L)the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
Death of Eli
12 Then a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line the same day, and (M)came to Shiloh with his clothes torn and (N)dirt on his head. 13 Now when he came, there was Eli, sitting on (O)a seat [e]by the wayside watching, for his heart [f]trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it, all the city cried out. 14 When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, “What does the sound of this tumult mean?” And the man came quickly and told Eli. 15 Eli was ninety-eight years old, and (P)his eyes were so [g]dim that he could not see.
16 Then the man said to Eli, “I am he who came from the battle. And I fled today from the battle line.”
And he said, (Q)“What happened, my son?”
17 So the messenger answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured.”
18 Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Ichabod
19 Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death (R)the women who stood by her said to her, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer, nor did she [h]regard it. 21 Then she named the child (S)Ichabod,[i] saying, (T)“The glory has departed from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”

Tuleete essanduuko ya Mukama ey’endagaano okuva e Siiro, tugende nayo etuwonye amaanyi g’abalabe baffe.”
4 (C)Awo abantu ne batuma abasajja e Siiro, ne baggyayo essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama Ayinzabyonna, atudde ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka wakati mu bakerubi. Batabani ba Eri bombi, Kofuni ne Finekaasi nabo ne bagenda n’essanduuko ya Katonda ey’endagaano.

Bwe baategeera nti essanduuko ya Mukama ereeteddwa mu nkambi, 7 (E)Abafirisuuti ne batya. Ne boogera nti, “Lubaale azze mu nkambi. Tufudde! Tewabangawo kigambo ekifaanana bwe kityo. 8 Zitusanze! Ani ayinza okutuwonya balubaale[a] bano ab’amaanyi? Bano be balubaale abaabonyaabonya Abamisiri n’endwadde n’ebibonoobono ebya buli ngeri mu ddungu. 9 (F)Abafirisuuti, mugume omwoyo, mube basajja. Bwe kitaabe bwe kityo munaaba baddu b’Abaebbulaniya nga bo bwe babadde abaweereza bammwe. Mube basajja mulwane.”
10 (G)Abafirisuuti ne beerwanako ne bawangula Abayisirayiri. Buli Muyisirayiri n’addukira mu nsiisira ye. Ne waba okuttibwa kunene nnyo, Abayisirayiri ne bafiirwa abaserikale abaatambuzanga ebigere emitwalo esatu. 11 (H)Essanduuko ya Katonda n’ewambibwa, era ne batabani ba Eri bombi, Kofuni ne Finekaasi ne battibwa.

21 (M)N’atuuma omwana erinnya Ikabodi, amakulu gaalyo nti, “Ekitiibwa kivudde ku Isirayiri,” kubanga essanduuko ya Katonda yali ewambiddwa ate nga ssezaala we ne bba bafudde. 22 N’ayogera nti, “Ekitiibwa kivudde ku Isirayiri kubanga essanduuko ya Katonda ewambiddwa.”

4 And Samuel’s word came to all Israel.
The Philistines Capture the Ark
Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites camped at Ebenezer,(A) and the Philistines at Aphek.(B) 2 The Philistines deployed their forces to meet Israel, and as the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield. 3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why(C) did the Lord bring defeat on us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Shiloh,(E) so that he may go with us(F) and save us from the hand of our enemies.”
4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim.(G) And Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 When the ark of the Lord’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout(H) that the ground shook. 6 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, “What’s all this shouting in the Hebrew(I) camp?”
When they learned that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp, 7 the Philistines were afraid.(J) “A god has[a] come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before. 8 We’re doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck(K) the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues(L) in the wilderness. 9 Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they(M) have been to you. Be men, and fight!”
10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated(N) and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.(O)
Death of Eli
12 That same day a Benjamite(P) ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust(Q) on his head. 13 When he arrived, there was Eli(R) sitting on his chair by the side of the road, watching, because his heart feared for the ark of God. When the man entered the town and told what had happened, the whole town sent up a cry.
14 Eli heard the outcry and asked, “What is the meaning of this uproar?”
The man hurried over to Eli, 15 who was ninety-eight years old and whose eyes(S) had failed so that he could not see. 16 He told Eli, “I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day.”
Eli asked, “What happened, my son?”
17 The man who brought the news replied, “Israel fled before the Philistines, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead,(T) and the ark of God has been captured.”(U)
18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off his chair by the side of the gate. His neck was broken and he died, for he was an old man, and he was heavy. He had led[b](V) Israel forty years.(W)
19 His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and near the time of delivery. When she heard the news that the ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but was overcome by her labor pains. 20 As she was dying, the women attending her said, “Don’t despair; you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond or pay any attention.
21 She named the boy Ichabod,[c](X) saying, “The Glory(Y) has departed from Israel”—because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 She said, “The Glory(Z) has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”(AA)
