1 Samuelsboken 4
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
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.”

1 Samuel 4
King James Version
4 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the 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 with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath 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.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 And 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.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 And 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.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
1 Samuel 4
New King James Version
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.”

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Abafirisuuti Bawamba Essanduuko ya Katonda
4 (A)Awo ekigambo kya Samwiri ne kibuna Isirayiri yenna.
Mu biro ebyo Abayisirayiri ne balumba Abafirisuuti, Abayisirayiri ne basiisira okumpi ne Ebenezeri, ate nga Abafirisuuti bo basiisidde mu Afeki. 2 Abafirisuuti ne basimba ennyiriri okulumba Abayisirayiri ne bayungula eggye lyabwe okulumba; olutalo bwe lwanyiinyiitira, Abayisirayiri ne bawangulibwa, era enkumi nnya ku bo ne battibwa. 3 (B)Abalwanyi bwe baddayo mu nkambi, abakadde ba Isirayiri ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Lwaki Mukama alese Abafirisuuti okutuwangula leero? 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.
5 (D)Essanduuko ya Mukama ey’endagaano bwe yatuuka mu nkambi ey’Abayisirayiri, bonna ne baleekaanira waggulu mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, n’ettaka ne liyuuguuma. 6 Awo Abafirisuuti bwe baawulira oluyoogaano ne beebuuza nti, “Oluyoogaano olwo lwonna mu nkambi ey’Abaebbulaniya lutegeeza ki?”
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.
Okufa Kwa Eri
12 (I)Olunaku lwe lumu ne wabaawo omusajja Omubenyamini eyava mu lutalo n’adduka okutuuka e Siiro, ng’ayuzizza engoye ze n’omutwe gwe nga gujjudde enfuufu. 13 (J)Bwe yatuuka, Eri yali atudde mu ntebe ye ku mabbali g’ekkubo ng’atunula, nga yeeraliikiridde olw’essanduuko ya Katonda. Omusajja bwe yatuuka mu kibuga n’asaasaanya amawulire ku ebyo ebibaddewo, ekibuga kyonna ne kikuba ebiwoobe.
14 Eri bwe yawulira oluyoogaano n’abuuza nti, “Oluyoogaano luno luva ku ki?”
Omusajja n’ayanguwa n’atuuka awaali Eri n’amutegeeza. 15 (K)Eri yali aweza emyaka egy’obukulu kyenda mu munaana, amaaso ge nga gayimbadde, era nga n’okulaba takyalaba. 16 Omusajja oyo n’ategeeza Eri nti, “Naakava mu lutalo, era nziruseeyo leero.”
Eri n’amubuuza nti, “Bigenze bitya mwana wange?” 17 Omusajja eyaleeta amawulire n’amuddamu nti, “Isirayiri edduse Abafirisuuti, era eggye lyaffe lifiiriddwa abalwanyi bangi. Ate ne batabani bo bombi Kofuni ne Finekaasi battiddwa, era n’essanduuko ya Katonda ewambiddwa.”
18 (L)Olwayogera ku ssanduuko ya Katonda, Eri n’asirituka okuva ku ntebe ye n’agwa okumpi n’omulyango. Ensingo ye n’emenyeka n’afiirawo kubanga yali musajja mukadde nnyo ate nga n’obuzito muzito. Yali akulembedde Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi ana.
19 Mu kiseera ekyo muka mwana we, Finekaasi, yali lubuto era ng’anaatera okuzaala. Bwe yawulira amawulire nti Essanduuko ya Katonda ewambiddwa era nti ne ssezaala we ne bba bafudde, n’alumwa era n’azaalirawo, kubanga obulumi bwamuyitirirako. 20 Omukazi oyo bwe yali ng’anaatera okufa, abamuzaalisa ne bamugamba nga boogera nti, “Totya, kubanga ozadde mulenzi.” Naye n’atabaanukula wadde okubassaako omwoyo.
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.”
