撒母耳记上 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 人出去与 非利士 人打仗，安营在 以便以谢 ； 非利士 人安营在 亚弗 。
1Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now the Israelites went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped at Ebenezer, while the Philistines camped at Aphek.
2非利士 人向 以色列 人摆阵。两军交战的时候， 以色列 人败在 非利士 人面前； 非利士 人在战场上杀了他们的军兵约有四千人。
2The Philistines arrayed themselves against Israel, and as the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who struck down about four thousand men on the battlefield.
3百姓回到营里， 以色列 的长老说：「耶和华今日为何使我们败在 非利士 人面前呢？我们不如将耶和华的约柜从 示罗 抬到我们这里来，好在我们中间救我们脱离敌人的手。」
3When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why has the LORD brought defeat on us before the Philistines today? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh, so that it may go with us to save us from the hand of our enemies.”
4于是百姓打发人到 示罗 ，从那里将坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华的约柜抬来。 以利 的两个儿子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 与 神的约柜同来。
4So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5耶和华的约柜到了营中， 以色列 众人就大声欢呼，地便震动。
5When the ark of the covenant of the LORD entered the camp, all the Israelites raised such a great shout that it shook the ground.
6非利士 人听见欢呼的声音，就说：「在 希伯来 人营里大声欢呼，是什么缘故呢？」随后就知道耶和华的 约 柜到了营中。
6On hearing the noise of the shout, the Philistines asked, “What is this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews?” And when they realized that the ark of the LORD had entered the camp,
7非利士 人就惧怕起来，说：「有神到了他们营中」；又说：「我们有祸了！向来不曾有这样的事。
7the Philistines were afraid. “The gods have entered their camp!” they said. “Woe to us, for nothing like this has happened before.
8我们有祸了！谁能救我们脱离这些大能之神的手呢？从前在旷野用各样灾殃击打 埃及 人的，就是这些神。
8Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
9非利士 人哪，你们要刚强，要作大丈夫，免得作 希伯来 人的奴仆，如同他们作你们的奴仆一样。你们要作大丈夫，与他们争战。」
9Take courage and be men, O Philistines! Otherwise, you will serve the Hebrews just as they served you. Now be men and fight!”
10非利士 人和 以色列 人打仗， 以色列 人败了，各向各家奔逃，被杀的人甚多， 以色列 的步兵仆倒了三万。
10So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great—thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell.
11神的 约 柜被掳去， 以利 的两个儿子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 也都被杀了。
11The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
12当日，有一个 便雅悯 人从阵上逃跑，衣服撕裂，头蒙灰尘，来到 示罗 。
12That same day a Benjamite ran from the battle line all the way to Shiloh, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.
13到了的时候， 以利 正在道旁坐在自己的位上观望，为 神的 约 柜心里担忧。那人进城报信，合城的人就都呼喊起来。
13When he arrived, there was Eli, sitting on his chair beside the road and watching, because his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man entered the city to give a report, the whole city cried out.
14以利 听见呼喊的声音就问说：「这喧嚷是什么缘故呢？」那人急忙来报信给 以利 。
14Eli heard the outcry and asked, “Why this commotion?” So the man hurried over and reported to Eli.
15那时 以利 九十八岁了，眼目发直，不能看见。
15Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his gaze was fixed because he could not see.
16那人对 以利 说：「我是从阵上来的，今日我从阵上逃回。」 以利 说：「我儿，事情怎样？」
16“I have just come from the battle,” the man said to Eli. “I fled from there today.” “What happened, my son?” Eli asked.
17报信的回答说：「 以色列 人在 非利士 人面前逃跑，民中被杀的甚多！你的两个儿子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 也都死了，并且 神的 约 柜被掳去。」
17The messenger answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”
18他一提 神的 约 柜， 以利 就从他的位上往后跌倒，在门旁折断颈项而死；因为他年纪老迈，身体沉重。 以利 作 以色列 的士师四十年。
18As soon as the ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the city gate, and being old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. And Eli had judged Israel forty years.
19以利 的儿妇、 非尼哈 的妻怀孕将到产期，她听见 神的 约 柜被掳去，公公和丈夫都死了，就猛然疼痛，曲身生产；
19Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains overtook her.
20将要死的时候，旁边站着的妇人们对她说：「不要怕！你生了男孩子了。」她却不回答，也不放在心上。
20As she was dying, the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son!” But she did not respond or pay any heed.
21她给孩子起名叫 以迦博 ，说：「荣耀离开 以色列 了！」这是因 神的 约 柜被掳去，又因她公公和丈夫都死了。
21And she named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured and her father-in-law and her husband had been killed.
22她又说：「荣耀离开 以色列 ，因为 神的约柜被掳去了。」
22“The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “for the ark of God has been captured.”
