撒母耳記上 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 人出去與 非利士 人打仗，安營在 以便以謝 ； 非利士 人安營在 亞弗 。
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 人擺陣。兩軍交戰的時候， 以色列 人敗在 非利士 人面前； 非利士 人在戰場上殺了他們的軍兵約有四千人。
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.
3百姓回到營裏， 以色列 的長老說：「耶和華今日為何使我們敗在 非利士 人面前呢？我們不如將耶和華的約櫃從 示羅 抬到我們這裏來，好在我們中間救我們脫離敵人的手。」
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於是百姓打發人到 示羅 ，從那裏將坐在二基路伯上萬軍之耶和華的約櫃抬來。 以利 的兩個兒子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 與上帝的約櫃同來。
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耶和華的約櫃到了營中， 以色列 眾人就大聲歡呼，地便震動。
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 人聽見歡呼的聲音，就說：「在 希伯來 人營裏大聲歡呼，是甚麼緣故呢？」隨後就知道耶和華的 約 櫃到了營中。
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 人就懼怕起來，說：「有神到了他們營中」；又說：「我們有禍了！向來不曾有這樣的事。
7the Philistines were afraid. “The gods have entered their camp!” they said. “Woe to us, for nothing like this has happened before.
8我們有禍了！誰能救我們脫離這些大能之神的手呢？從前在曠野用各樣災殃擊打 埃及 人的，就是這些神。
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，你們要剛強，要作大丈夫，免得作 希伯來 人的奴僕，如同他們作你們的奴僕一樣。你們要作大丈夫，與他們爭戰。」
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 人敗了，各向各家奔逃，被殺的人甚多， 以色列 的步兵仆倒了三萬。
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上帝的 約 櫃被擄去， 以利 的兩個兒子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 也都被殺了。
11The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
12當日，有一個 便雅憫 人從陣上逃跑，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，來到 示羅 。
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到了的時候， 以利 正在道旁坐在自己的位上觀望，為上帝的 約 櫃心裏擔憂。那人進城報信，合城的人就都呼喊起來。
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 聽見呼喊的聲音就問說：「這喧嚷是甚麼緣故呢？」那人急忙來報信給 以利 。
14Eli heard the outcry and asked, “Why this commotion?” So the man hurried over and reported to Eli.
15那時 以利 九十八歲了，眼目發直，不能看見。
15Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his gaze was fixed because he could not see.
16那人對 以利 說：「我是從陣上來的，今日我從陣上逃回。」 以利 說：「我兒，事情怎樣？」
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報信的回答說：「 以色列 人在 非利士 人面前逃跑，民中被殺的甚多！你的兩個兒子 何弗尼 、 非尼哈 也都死了，並且上帝的 約 櫃被擄去。」
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他一提上帝的 約 櫃， 以利 就從他的位上往後跌倒，在門旁折斷頸項而死；因為他年紀老邁，身體沉重。 以利 作 以色列 的士師四十年。
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 的兒婦、 非尼哈 的妻懷孕將到產期，她聽見上帝的 約 櫃被擄去，公公和丈夫都死了，就猛然疼痛，曲身生產；
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將要死的時候，旁邊站着的婦人們對她說：「不要怕！你生了男孩子了。」她卻不回答，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她給孩子起名叫 以迦博 ，說：「榮耀離開 以色列 了！」這是因上帝的 約 櫃被擄去，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她又說：「榮耀離開 以色列 ，因為上帝的約櫃被擄去了。」
22“The glory has departed from Israel,” she said, “for the ark of God has been captured.”
