1 Samuel 4 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 4 Then Samuel would announce the Lord’s message to all the people of Israel. When Eli was very old, his sons lived more and more in a way the Lord considered evil. The Philistines Defeat the Israelites At that time the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites made their camp at Ebenezer. The Philistines made their camp at Aphek. 2 The Philistines lined up their soldiers in front of the Israelites and began the attack. The Philistines defeated the Israelites. They killed about 4000 soldiers from Israel’s army. 3 The rest of the Israelite soldiers went back to their camp. The elders of Israel asked, “Why did the Lord let the Philistines defeat us? Let’s bring the Lord’s Box of the Agreement from Shiloh. God will go with us into battle and save us from our enemies.” 4 So the people sent men to Shiloh. The men brought back the Lord All-Powerful’s Box of the Agreement. On top of the Box are the Cherub angels. They are like a throne where the Lord sits. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, came with the Box. 5 When the Lord’s Box of the Agreement came into the camp, all the Israelites gave a great shout loud enough to make the ground shake. 6 The Philistines heard Israel’s shout and asked, “Why are the people so excited in the Hebrew camp?” Then the Philistines learned that the Lord’s Holy Box had been brought into Israel’s camp. 7 They became afraid and said, “Gods have come to their camp! We’re in trouble. This has never happened before. 8 We are worried. Who can save us from these powerful gods? These gods are the same ones that gave the Egyptians those diseases and terrible sicknesses. 9 Be brave, Philistines. Fight like men. In the past they were our slaves, so fight like men or you will become their slaves.” 10 So the Philistines fought very hard and defeated the Israelites. The Israelite soldiers ran away and went home. It was a terrible defeat for Israel. 30,000 Israelite soldiers were killed. 11 The Philistines took God’s Holy Box and killed Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. 12 One of the men who ran from the battle was a man from the tribe of Benjamin. He tore his clothes and put dust on his head to show his great sadness. 13 Eli was worried about the Holy Box, so he was sitting there by the city gate waiting and watching when the Benjamite man came into Shiloh and told the bad news. All the people in town began to cry loudly. 14-15 Eli was 98 years old. He was blind, so he could not see what was happening, but he could hear the loud noise of the people crying. Eli asked, “Why are the people making this loud noise?” The Benjamite man ran to Eli and told him what happened. 16 He said, “I am the man who just came from the battle. I ran away from the battle today.” Eli asked, “What happened, son?” 17 The Benjamite man answered, “Israel ran away from the Philistines. The Israelite army has lost many soldiers. Your two sons are both dead, and the Philistines took God’s Holy Box.” 18 When the Benjamite man mentioned God’s Holy Box, Eli fell backward off his chair near the gate and broke his neck. Eli was old and fat, so he died. He had led Israel for 20 years. The Glory Is Gone 19 Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant. It was nearly time for her baby to be born. She heard the news that God’s Holy Box was taken. She also heard that her father-in-law Eli and her husband Phinehas were both dead. As soon as she heard the news, her pain started and she began giving birth to her baby. 20 She was about to die when the women who were helping her said, “Don’t worry, you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention. 21 She named the baby Ichabod, that is to say, “Israel’s glory has been taken away.” She did this because God’s Holy Box was taken away and because both her father-in-law and her husband were dead. 22 She said, “Israel’s glory has been taken away” because the Philistines had taken God’s Holy Box.

1 शमूएल 4Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) 4 इस्राएलभरी शमूएलको विषयमा समाचार फैलिन थाल्यो। तर एली भने साह्रै बुढो भइसकेका थिए। तर उनका छोराहरूले भने अझै पनि परमप्रभुका अघि दुष्ट कार्य गरिनै रहे। पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई हराए त्यस समय, इस्राएलीहरू पलिश्तीहरूका विरूद्धमा युद्ध गर्नको निम्ति तयार भए। इस्राएलीले एबेन-एजेरमा छाउनी हाले अनि पलिश्तीहरूले अपेकमा छाउनी हाले। 2 पलिश्तीहरू इस्राएलीहरू माथि हमला गर्न तयार भए। पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई हराए। पलिश्तीहरूले इस्राएलका 4,000 सैनिकहरू मारिदिए। 3 बाँकी इस्राएली सैनिकहरू फर्केर छाउनीमा पुगे। इस्राएलका बूढा प्रधानले सोधे, “परमप्रभुले पलिश्तीहरूद्वारा हामीलाई किन हराउन दिनुभयो? हामीले शीलोबाट परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक उठाएर ल्याऊ। यसो गरेपछि परमेश्वर हामीसँग युद्ध भूमिमा जानुहुनेछ र हामीलाई हाम्रो शत्रुबाट बचाउँनु हुनेछ।” 4 त्यसकारण तिनीहरूले शीलोमा मानिसहरू पठाए। सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दूक लिएर मानिसहरू आए। सन्दूक माथि करूब स्वर्गदूत विराजमान थिए अनि तिनीहरू त्यस्तो प्रकारले बसेका छन् जसमाथि परमप्रभुले आसन लिनुहुन्थ्यो। एलीका छोरा होप्नी र पीनहास जो सन्दूकको रेखदेख गर्दथे तिनीहरू पनि उक्त सन्दूकसँगै आए। 5 जब परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दूक छाउनी भित्र ल्याइयो, इस्राएलीहरूले ठूलो हल्ला गरे। त्यस हल्लाले भूमि नै हल्लियो। 6 पलिश्तीहरूले पनि इस्राएलीहरूका हल्ला सुनें। तिनीहरूले सोधे, “हिब्रूहरूका छाउनीमा यति साह्रौ हल्ला किन हुँदैछ?” पछि पलिश्तीहरूलाई थाहा भयो कि इस्राएलीहरूका छाउनीमा करारको सन्दूक आएको छ। 7 पलिश्तीहरू डराएर भने, “परमेश्वर नै तिनीहरूका छाउनीमा आए! अब हाम्रो के हुने हो। यस्तो पहिले कहिले भएको थिएन। 8 हामी चिन्तित भयौ यस्तो बलियो देवताबाट अब हामीलाई कसले बचाउँछ? यी तिनै देवता हुन् जसले मिश्रीहरूलाई जंगलमा महामारी र भंयकर रोगहरू दिएका थिए। 9 पलिश्तीहरू हो सहासी बन! मर्द झैं काम गर, नत्र ता विगतमा हिब्रूहरू हाम्रा दास थिए, भने अब लडेनौं भने तिमीहरू उनीहरूका दास हुनेछौ।” 10 पलिश्तीहरूले वीरताका साथ लडे र इस्राएलीहरूलाई परास्त पारे। प्रत्येक इस्राएली सेना भागेर आफ्ना छाउनीमा लुक्न पुगे। इस्राएलको यो साह्रै नराम्रो पराजय थियो। जम्मा 30,000 इस्राएली सैनिकहरू मारिएका थिए। 11 पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक हात पारे र एलीका दुवै छोरा, होप्नी र पीनहासलाई मारे। 12 त्यस दिन बिन्यामिनी कूलका एकजना मानिस युद्ध भूमिबाट भागेर हारेको शोक प्रकट गर्न शरीरका बस्त्रहरू च्यातेर टाउकोभरी धूलै-धूलो खन्याए र शीलोमा पुगे। 13 त्यस समय एली शहरको फाटकहरूको मूल बाटोमा आफ्नो आसनमा बसिरहेका थिए। तिनी परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकको विषयमा ज्यादै चिन्तित थिए र समाचारको प्रतिक्षा गरिरहेका थिए। त्यो बिन्यामीनहरूले आए र दुःखी समाचार शहरलाई दियो। अनि सबै शहरवासी जोडले रून थाले। 14-15 एली अन्ठानब्बे बर्षका बूढा थिए अनि तिनी अन्धा थिए। जब एलीले रोएको स्वर सुने तिनले सोधे, “मानिसहरू किन यसरी चिच्याइ-चिच्याइ रुँदैछन्?” उनै बिन्यामिनी मानिस एलीका सामुने पुगेर सारा घटना बताए। 16 तिनले भने, “म युद्धभूमिबाट भागेर आएको हुँ!” एलीले फेरि सोधे, “के भयो हँ छोरा?” 17 बिन्यामिनी मानिसले सार वृत्तान्त बताए, “इस्राएलीहरू पलिश्तीहरूका अघि टिक्न नसकेर भागे इस्राएली पक्षका धेरै सेना युद्धमा मारिए। तपाईंका दुवै छोरा, होप्नी र पीनहास पनि मारिए अनि परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक पनि पलिश्तीहरूले कब्जामा पारेका छन्।” 18 जब बिन्यामिनी मानिसले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकको घटना बताए, एली ऊ बसेको कुर्सीबाट पछिल्तिर लडे, र तिनको मुन्टो भाँचियो, कारण एली साह्रै बूढा थिए र साह्रै मोटा थिए, उनी त्यही मरे। एलीले चालिस बर्षसम्म इस्राएलाई अगुवाइ गरेका थिए। महिमाको अन्त भयो 19 एलीकी बुहारी, पीनहासकी पत्नी त्यस समय गर्भवती थिईन्। तिनीको नानी जन्माउने समय पुगिसकेको थियो, परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक कब्जा गरेको घटना साथै ससुरा र लोग्नेको पनि मृत्यु भएको खबर सुन्नेबित्तीकै प्रसववेदना शुरू भयो, यसकारण उसले घुँडा टेकी र तत्कालै एउटा छोरा जन्माईन्। 20 जब तिनी मर्नै लागेकी थिईन्, तिनलाई स्याहार्ने आइमाईहरूले तिनलाई भने, “नडराऊ! तिम्रो एउटा छोरा भयो।” तर एलीकी बुहारीलाई त्यस दुःखको खबरले कुनै असर गरेन। 21 तर इस्राएलको महिमा हराएको सुनेर तिनले छोराको नाउँ “ईकावोद” राखिन्, जसको अर्थ “इस्राएलको महिमा लगियो!” उनले यो नाउँ राखीन् कारण परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक लुटिएको र आफ्ना ससुरा अनि लोग्नेको मृत्यु भएको कुराको संकेत गराउँछ। 22 तिनले भनिन्, “इस्राएलको महिमा हरायो।” कारण पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक कब्जा गरे।
