Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
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 。
2The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
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。
3When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”
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。」
4So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
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。
5When the ark of the LORD’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
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。
6When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that the LORD’s ark had come into the camp.
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。
7The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.
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。
8Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
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。
9Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”
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。」
10The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.
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。
11God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
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。
12A man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head.
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 。
13When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.
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。
14When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
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 。
15Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see.
15那時 以利 九十八歲了，眼目發直，不能看見。
16The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”
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？」
17He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”
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。」
18When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
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。
19His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
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；
20About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.
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。
21She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
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。
22She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.”
22她又說：「榮耀離開 以色列 ，因為上帝的約櫃被擄去了。」
