4 And Samuel’s word came to all Israel. Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites camped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines at Aphek. 2 The Philistines deployed their forces to meet Israel, and as the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield. 3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the Lord bring defeat on us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Shiloh, so that he may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies.” 4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim. And Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. 5 When the ark of the Lord’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout that the ground shook. 6 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, “What’s all this shouting in the Hebrew camp?” When they learned that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp, 7 the Philistines were afraid. “A god has[a] come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before. 8 We’re doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness. 9 Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men, and fight!” 10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died. 12 That same day a Benjamite ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust on his head. 13 When he arrived, there was Eli sitting on his chair by the side of the road, watching, because his heart feared for the ark of God. When the man entered the town and told what had happened, the whole town sent up a cry. 14 Eli heard the outcry and asked, “What is the meaning of this uproar?” The man hurried over to Eli, 15 who was ninety-eight years old and whose eyes had failed so that he could not see. 16 He told Eli, “I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day.” Eli asked, “What happened, my son?” 17 The man who brought the news replied, “Israel fled before the Philistines, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.” 18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off his chair by the side of the gate. His neck was broken and he died, for he was an old man, and he was heavy. He had led[b] Israel forty years. 19 His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and near the time of delivery. When she heard the news that the ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but was overcome by her labor pains. 20 As she was dying, the women attending her said, “Don’t despair; you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond or pay any attention. 21 She named the boy Ichabod,[c] saying, “The Glory has departed from Israel”—because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 She said, “The Glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.” 5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold. 6 The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation on them and afflicted them with tumors.[d] 7 When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.” 8 So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?” They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel. 9 But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[e] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.” 11 So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[f] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it. 12 Those who did not die were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven. 6 When the ark of the Lord had been in Philistine territory seven months, 2 the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us how we should send it back to its place.” 3 They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift; by all means send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted from you.” 4 The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?” They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your rulers. 5 Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land. 6 Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When Israel’s god dealt harshly with them, did they not send the Israelites out so they could go on their way? 7 “Now then, get a new cart ready, with two cows that have calved and have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up. 8 Take the ark of the Lord and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to him as a guilt offering. Send it on its way, 9 but keep watching it. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh, then the Lord has brought this great disaster on us. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us but that it happened to us by chance.” 10 So they did this. They took two such cows and hitched them to the cart and penned up their calves. 11 They placed the ark of the Lord on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rats and the models of the tumors. 12 Then the cows went straight up toward Beth Shemesh, keeping on the road and lowing all the way; they did not turn to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed them as far as the border of Beth Shemesh. 13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight. 14 The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and there it stopped beside a large rock. The people chopped up the wood of the cart and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord. 15 The Levites took down the ark of the Lord, together with the chest containing the gold objects, and placed them on the large rock. On that day the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord. 16 The five rulers of the Philistines saw all this and then returned that same day to Ekron. 17 These are the gold tumors the Philistines sent as a guilt offering to the Lord—one each for Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. 18 And the number of the gold rats was according to the number of Philistine towns belonging to the five rulers—the fortified towns with their country villages. The large rock on which the Levites set the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh. 19 But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy[g] of them to death because they looked into the ark of the Lord. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them. 20 And the people of Beth Shemesh asked, “Who can stand in the presence of the Lord, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from here?” 21 Then they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and take it up to your town.” 9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, 8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him. 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.” 13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.” They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

1 शमूएल 5Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) पवित्र सन्दूक पलिश्तीहरूका निम्ति समस्या बन्यो 5 पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकलाई एबेन-एजेरबाट अश्दोद पुर्याए। 2 पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकलाई दागोनको मन्दिरमा लगेर दागोनकै मूर्तिको छेउमा राखे। 3 भोलिपल्ट बिहान अश्दोदवासीहरूले दागोनको मूर्ति घोप्टो परेर परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक अघि भूईमा लडिरहेको देखे। अश्दोदका मानिसहरूले फेरि त्यो मूर्ति त्यसको ठाउँमा उभ्याए। 4 अश्दोदवासीहरूले दागोनको मूर्तिलाई फेरि त्यहि ठाउँमा राखे। तर फेरि अर्को बिहान अश्दोदवासीहरूले दागोनको मूर्ति त्यसरी नै परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक अघिल्तिर लडिरहेको भेटे। यस बेला दागोनको टाउको र हातहरू भाँचिएर संघारको अघि लडिरहेको र जीउ मात्र त्यहाँ लडिरहेको भेटियो। 5 त्यही व्यवहार आजसम्म चल्दैछ कि अश्दोदमा दागोनका पुरोहित र मन्दिरभित्र पस्नेहरू कसैले पनि दागोनको संघारमा पाइला राख्दैनन्। 6 परमप्रभुले अश्दोदका मानिसहरू साथै छिमेकीहरूका जीवन पनि कष्ट पूर्ण बनाइदिनुभयो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई असाध्यै दुःख दिनुभयो। गिर्खाको रूढी फैलाइ दिनुभयो। हुलका हुल मूसाहरू पठाउँनुभयो। मूसाहरू जहाज र जमिन जताततै दगुरिरहन्थे। शहरवासीहरू सबै डराउन थाले। 7 जब अश्दोदवासीहरूले यो देखे तिनीहरूले भने, “इस्राएलको परमेश्वरको सन्दूक यहाँ राख्न सकिन्न। परमेश्वरले हाम्रा देवता दागोनलाई मात्र होइन तर उहाँले हामीलाई पनि पूरा दण्ड दिनुभयो।” 8 अश्दोदका मानिसहरूले पश्लितीका सबै शासकहरूलाई बोलाए। अश्दोदवासीहरूले ती शासकहरूलाई सोधे, “हामीले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकलाई अब के गर्नु पर्ने हो?” शासकहरूले भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूकलाई अब गात शहरमा पुर्याइयोस्।” यसरी पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक हटाए। 9 फेरि परमेश्वरको पवित्र सन्दूक जब गातमा पुग्यो तब देखि नै परमप्रभुले त्यस शहरलाई सजाय दिन थाल्नुभयो। मानिसहरूमा खैलाबैला भयो। परमप्रभुले के बालक के वृद्ध सबलाई दुःख दिनथाल्नु भयो। परमेश्वरले गातवासीहरूमा गिर्खाको रूढी फैलाइ दिनुभयो। 10 यसकारण पलिश्तीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई एक्रोन पठाए। जति बेला परमेश्वरको सन्दूक एक्रोन आइपुग्यो मानिसहरू कराउन थाले, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूक किन हाम्रो शहर एक्रोनमा ल्याएको? के तिमीहरूले हामीलाई र हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई मार्न चाहन्छौ?” 11 एक्रोनका मानिसहरूले पलिश्ती शासकहरूलाई एकसाथ बोलाएर भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई छिट्टो भन्दा छिट्टो आफ्नै ठाउँमा पठाइदिनु होस्। नत्र भने यसले हामीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नेछ।” एक्रोनका मानिसहरू साह्रै डराएका थिए। परमेश्वरले त्यस शहरवासीहरूको जीवन कष्टमय बनाइदिनु भयो। 12 मानिसहरू धेरै संख्यामा मरे। जो मरेका थिएनन् तिनीहरूलाई गिर्खाको रूढीले सताउन थाल्यो र एक्रोनका मानिसहरूको रोदन स्वर्गसम्मै पुग्यो।
