1. kniha Samuelova

1 (KJV) And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
1 (ROH) A slovo Samuelovo sa splnilo celému Izraelovi. Lebo Izrael vyšiel proti Filištínom do boja a položili sa táborom pri Ében-ézere, a Filištíni táborili v Aféku.

2 (KJV) And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
2 (ROH) A Filištíni sa zriadili do boja proti Izraelovi, a keď sa rozvinul boj, porazený bol Izrael pred Filištínmi, a pobili na bojišti, na poli, okolo štyroch tisícov mužov.

3 (KJV) And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
3 (ROH) Keď potom prišiel ľud do tábora, povedali starší Izraelovi: Prečo nás dnes porazil Hospodin pred Filištínmi? Vezmime k sebe zo Síla truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej. Keď prijde do nášho stredu, zachráni nás a vyslobodí z ruky našich nepriateľov.

4 (KJV) So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
4 (ROH) A tak poslal ľud do Síla, a doniesli odtiaľ truhlu smluvy Hospodina Zástupov, tróniaceho na cherubínoch, a boli tam obaja synovia Éliho s truhlou smluvy Božej, Chofni a Pinchas.

5 (KJV) And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
5 (ROH) A stalo sa, keď prišla truhla smluvy Hospodinovej do tábora, že skríkol od radosti celý Izrael veľkým krikom, takže dunela zem.

6 (KJV) And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
6 (ROH) A keď počuli Filištíni hlas radostného kriku, povedali: Čo je to jaký zvuk toho veľkého radostného kriku v tábore Hebrejov? A dozvedeli sa, že truhla Hospodinova prišla do tábora.

7 (KJV) And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
7 (ROH) Preto sa báli Filištíni, lebo vraveli: Bôh prišiel do tábora! A povedali: Beda nám! Lebo také niečo sa ešte nikdy nestalo doteraz!

8 (KJV) Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
8 (ROH) Beda nám! Kto nás vytrhne z ruky tých slávnych bohov?! To sú tí bohovia, ktorí bili Egypťanov všelijakými ranami na púšti.

9 (KJV) Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
9 (ROH) Posilnite sa a buďte mužmi, Filištíni! Aby ste neslúžili Hebrejom, ako oni vám slúžili! Ale buďte mužmi a bojujte!

10 (KJV) And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
10 (ROH) Aj bojovali Filištíni, a Izrael bol porazený, a utekali každý do svojho stánu. A porážka bola veľmi veliká, a padlo z Izraela tridsať tisíc mužov peších.

11 (KJV) And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
11 (ROH) A truhla Božia bola vzatá, a obidvaja synovia Éliho zomreli, Chofni a Pinchas.

12 (KJV) And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
12 (ROH) Potom bežal nejaký muž z pokolenia Benjaminovho s bojišťa a prišiel do Síla toho dňa a mal svoje rúcho roztrhnuté a svoju hlavu posypanú zemou.

13 (KJV) And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
13 (ROH) A keď prišiel, hľa, Éli sedel na stolici pri ceste a vyzeral, lebo jeho srdce sa triaslo o truhlu Božiu, a človek prišiel, aby oznámil v meste, čo sa stalo. A kričalo zdesením celé mesto.

14 (KJV) And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
14 (ROH) A keď počul Éli hlas kriku, povedal: Čo je to jaký nepokojný hukot? A človek sa ponáhľal a prijdúc oznámil to Élimu.

15 (KJV) Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
15 (ROH) A Élimu bolo deväťdesiatosem rokov, a jeho oči boly zašly, takže nemohol vidieť.

16 (KJV) And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
16 (ROH) A človek povedal Élimu: Ja som ten, ktorý som prišiel s bojišťa, a ja som dnes utiekol s bojišťa. A Éli mu povedal: Čo sa to stalo, môj synu?

17 (KJV) And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
17 (ROH) A zvestovateľ odpovedal a riekol: Izrael uteká pred Filištínmi, aj veľká porážka stala sa v ľude, aj obaja tvoji synovia zomreli, Chofni a Pinchas, a truhla Božia je vzatá.

18 (KJV) And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
18 (ROH) A stalo sa, ako spomenul truhlu Božiu, že padnul so stolice nazad vedľa brány a zlomil si väzy i zomrel, lebo človek bol starý a ťažký a on súdil Izraela štyridsať rokov.

19 (KJV) And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
19 (ROH) A jeho nevesta, žena Pinchasova, bola tehotná majúc porodiť. Tá keď počula zvesť a k tomu ešte i to, že vzali truhlu Božiu a že zomrel jej svokor i jej muž, sklonila sa a porodila, lebo prišly na ňu jej bolesti.

20 (KJV) And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
20 (ROH) A v ten čas, keď zomierala, vravely jej ženy, ktoré stály nad ňou: Neboj sa, lebo si porodila syna. Ale neodpovedala ani si toho nevšímala.

21 (KJV) And she named the child I-chabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
21 (ROH) A nazvala chlapča Ichabod , lebo riekla: Odstehovala sa sláva z Izraela a k tomu bola vzatá i truhla Božia, a zomrel i jej svokor i jej muž.

22 (KJV) And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
22 (ROH) Preto riekla: Odstehovala sa sláva z Izraela, pretože bola vzatá truhla Božia.
