1 Rg 4:1Et factum est in diēbus illīs, convēnērunt Philisthiim in pugnam: et ēgressus est Isrāël obviam Philisthiim in praelium, et castrametātus est jūxtā lapidem Adjūtōriī.And it came about in those days, the Philistines came together for battle: and Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and pitched camp beside the Stone of Help. 1 Rg 4:1Porrō Philisthiim vēnērunt in Aphec, et īnstrūxērunt aciem contrā Isrāël.Now the Philistines came into Aphek, and drew up the battle-line against Israel. 1 Rg 4:2Initō autem certāmine, terga vertit Isrāël Philisthaeīs: et caesa sunt in illō certāmine passim per agrōs, quasi quatuor mīllia virōrum.And the contest having been joined, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines: and there were slain in that contest, here and there through the fields, about four thousand men. 1 Rg 4:3Et reversus est populus ad castra: dīxēruntque mājōrēs nātū dē Isrāël: Quārē percussit nōs Dominus hodiē cōram Philisthiim?And the people returned to the camp: and the elders by birth of Israel said: "Why has the Lord struck us today before the Philistines? 1 Rg 4:3Afferāmus ad nōs dē Silo arcam foederis Dominī, et veniat in medium nostrī, ut salvet nōs dē manū inimīcōrum nostrōrum.Let us bring to us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and let it come into the midst of us, to save us from the hand of our enemies."
1 Rg 4:4Mīsit ergō populus in Silo, et tulērunt inde arcam foederis Dominī exercituum sedentis super cherubim: erantque duo fīliī Heli cum arcā foederis Deī, Ophnī et Phineēs.So the people sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli were with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas. 1 Rg 4:5Cumque vēnisset arca foederis Dominī in castra, vōciferātus est omnis Isrāël clamōre grandī, et personuit terra.And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great clamour, and the earth resounded. 1 Rg 4:6Et audiērunt Philisthiim vōcem clamōris, dīxēruntque: Quaenam est haec vōx clamōris magnī in castrīs Hebraeōrum?And the Philistines heard the voice of the clamour, and said: "What is this voice of great clamour in the camp of the Hebrews?" 1 Rg 4:6Et cognōvērunt quod arca Dominī vēnisset in castra.And they learned that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp. 1 Rg 4:7Timuēruntque Philisthiim, dīcentēs: Vēnit Deus in castra.And the Philistines were afraid, saying: "God has come into the camp."
1 Rg 4:7Et ingemuērunt, dīcentēs: Vae nōbīs: nōn enim fuit tanta exultātiō herī et nūdiustertius: vae nōbīs.And they groaned, saying: "Woe to us: for there was not such exultation yesterday and the day before: woe to us. 1 Rg 4:8Quis nōs salvābit dē manū deōrum sublīmium istōrum?Who will save us from the hand of these lofty gods? 1 Rg 4:8Hī sunt Diī, quī percussērunt Aegyptum omnī plagā in dēsertō.These are the gods who struck Egypt with every plague in the desert. 1 Rg 4:9Cōnfortāminī, et estōte virī, Philisthiim, nē serviātis Hebraeīs, sīcut et illī serviērunt vōbīs: Cōnfortāminī, et bellāte.Be strengthened, and be men, Philistines, so that you may not serve the Hebrews, just as they too have served you: be strengthened, and make war." 1 Rg 4:10Pugnāvērunt ergō Philisthiim, et caesus est Isrāël, et fūgit ūnusquisque in tabernāculum suum: et facta est plaga magna nimis, et cecidērunt dē Isrāël trīgintā mīllia peditum.So the Philistines fought, and Israel was slain, and each one fled into his tent: and there was made a slaughter great beyond measure, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot-soldiers. 1 Rg 4:11Et arca Deī capta est: duo quoque fīliī Heli mortuī sunt, Ophnī et Phineēs.And the ark of God was captured: the two sons of Eli also died, Hophni and Phinehas.
1 Rg 4:12Currēns autem vir dē Benjamin ex aciē, vēnit in Silo in diē illā, scissā veste, et cōnspersus pulvere caput.And a man of Benjamin, running from the battle-line, came to Shiloh on that day, his garment torn, and sprinkled with dust on his head. 1 Rg 4:13Cumque ille vēnisset, Heli sedēbat super sellam contrā viam spectāns.And when he had come, Eli was sitting upon a seat facing the road, watching. 1 Rg 4:13Erat enim cor ejus pavēns prō arcā Deī.For his heart was trembling for the ark of God. 1 Rg 4:13Vir autem ille postquam ingressus est, nūntiāvit urbī: et ululāvit omnis cīvitās.And that man, after he had gone in, announced it to the city: and the whole city wailed. 1 Rg 4:14Et audīvit Heli sonitum clamōris, dīxitque: Quis est hic sonitus tumultūs hujus?And Eli heard the sound of the clamour, and said: "What is this sound of this uproar?" 1 Rg 4:14At ille festīnāvit, et vēnit, et nūntiāvit Heli.But he hurried, and came, and announced it to Eli. 1 Rg 4:15Heli autem erat nōnāgintā et octō annōrum, et oculī ejus cālīgāverant, et vidēre nōn poterat.Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had grown dim, and he could not see.
1 Rg 4:16Et dīxit ad Heli: Ego sum quī vēnī dē praeliō, et ego quī dē aciē fūgī hodiē.And he said to Eli: "I am he who have come from the battle, and I who fled from the battle-line today." 1 Rg 4:16Cui ille ait: Quid āctum est, fīlī mī?To whom he said: "What has been done, my son?" 1 Rg 4:17Respondēns autem ille quī nūntiābat: Fūgit, inquit, Isrāël cōram Philisthiim, et ruīna magna facta est in populō: īnsuper et duo fīliī tuī mortuī sunt, Ophnī et Phineēs, et arca Deī capta est.And the one who was announcing it, answering: "Israel has fled," he says, "before the Philistines, and a great ruin has been made among the people: moreover also your two sons are dead, Hophni and Phinehas, and the ark of God has been captured." 1 Rg 4:18Cumque ille nōmināsset arcam Deī, cecidit dē sellā retrōrsum jūxtā ōstium, et frāctīs cervīcibus mortuus est.And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from the seat backwards beside the gate, and, his neck being broken, he died. 1 Rg 4:18Senex enim erat vir et grandaevus: et ipse jūdicāvit Isrāël quadrāgintā annīs.For he was an old man and of great age: and he himself judged Israel forty years.
1 Rg 4:19Nurus autem ejus, uxor Phinees, praegnāns erat, vīcīnaque partuī: et audītō nūntiō quod capta esset arca Deī, et mortuus esset socer suus et vir suus, incurvāvit sē et peperit: irruerant enim in eam dolōrēs subitī.And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, and near to giving birth: and the news having been heard that the ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she bowed herself and gave birth: for sudden pains had rushed upon her. 1 Rg 4:20In ipsō autem mōmentō mortis ejus, dīxērunt eī quae stābant circā eam: Nē timeās, quia fīlium peperistī.And in the very moment of her death, the women who were standing around her said to her: "Do not fear, because you have borne a son." 1 Rg 4:20Quae nōn respondit eīs, neque animadvertit.She did not answer them, nor take notice. 1 Rg 4:21Et vocāvit puerum Ichabod, dīcēns: Trānslāta est glōria dē Isrāël, quia capta est arca Deī, et prō socerō suō et prō virō suō;And she called the boy Ichabod, saying: "Glory has been carried away from Israel, because the ark of God has been captured," and for her father-in-law and for her husband; 1 Rg 4:22Et ait: Trānslāta est glōria ab Isrāël, eō quod capta esset arca Deī.and she said: "Glory has been carried away from Israel, because the ark of God had been captured."
