1. Samuelova 7

Český ekumenický překlad

od Česká biblická společnost
1  Muži kirjatjearímští přišli a Hospodinovu schránu odnesli. Dopravili ji do domu Abínádabova na pahorek a jeho syna Eleazara posvětili, aby u Hospodinovy schrány držel stráž. 2  Ode dne, kdy schrána spočinula v Kirjat-jearímu, uplynulo mnoho dní, celkem dvacet let. Tu celý izraelský dům zatoužil po Hospodinu. 3  Samuel vyzval celý izraelský dům: „Jestliže se chcete celým srdcem obrátit k Hospodinu, odstraňte ze svého středu cizí bohy i aštarty, upněte se srdcem k Hospodinu a služte jenom jemu. On vás vysvobodí z rukou Pelištejců.“4  Izraelci tedy odstranili baaly a aštarty a sloužili jenom Hospodinu. 5  Samuel vyhlásil: „Shromážděte celý Izrael do Mispy a já se budu za vás modlit k Hospodinu.“6  Shromáždili se tedy do Mispy, čerpali vodu a vylévali ji před Hospodinem; také se onoho dne postili a říkali tam: „Zhřešili jsme proti Hospodinu.“ A Samuel soudil Izraelce v Mispě. 7  Když se Pelištejci doslechli, že se Izraelci shromáždili do Mispy, vytáhla pelištejská knížata proti Izraeli. Izraelci to uslyšeli a báli se Pelištejců.8  Naléhali na Samuela: „Nepřestaň za nás úpěnlivě volat k Hospodinu, našemu Bohu, ať nás zachrání z rukou Pelištejců.“9 Samuel vzal jedno neodstavené jehňátko a obětoval je Hospodinu v zápalnou oběť, celopal, a úpěnlivě volal k Hospodinu za Izraele. A Hospodin mu odpověděl.10  Když Samuel obětoval zápalnou oběť, Pelištejci vyrazili k bitvě s Izraelci. Ale Hospodin onoho dne zahřměl mocným hlasem proti Pelištejcům a uvedl je ve zmatek. Byli před Izraelem poraženi.11  Izraelští mužové vytáhli z Mispy, pronásledovali Pelištejce a pobíjeli je až pod Bét-kar.12  I vzal Samuel jeden kámen a položil jej mezi Mispu a Šén. Dal mu jméno Eben-ezer (to je Kámen pomoci) a prohlásil: „Až potud nám Hospodin pomáhal.“13  Pelištejci byli pokořeni a nadále už nepronikali na izraelské území. Hospodinova ruka na Pelištejce doléhala po všechny Samuelovy dny.14  Města, která Pelištejci Izraeli odňali, od Ekrónu až po Gat, připadla zase Izraeli a Izrael vysvobodil z rukou Pelištejců i jejich pomezí. Mezi Izraelem a Emorejci zavládl pokoj.15  Samuel byl soudcem Izraele po celý svůj život.16  Rok co rok se vydával na obchůzku do Bét-elu, do Gilgálu a do Mispy a na všech těchto místech soudil Izraele.17 Pak se vracel do Rámy, neboť tam byl jeho dům, a tam soudil Izraele; tam také vybudoval Hospodinu oltář.

1 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the Lord and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill. And they consecrated his son Eleazar to have charge of the ark of the Lord. (2S 6,3)2 From the day that the ark was lodged at Kiriath-jearim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.3 And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Gn 35,2; Dt 6,13; Dt 10,20; Dt 13,4; Dt 30,2; Jz 24,14; Jz 24,23; Sd 2,13; Sd 10,16; 1Kr 8,48; 2Pa 19,3; 2Pa 30,19; Ezd 7,10; Iz 55,7; Oz 6,1; Jl 2,12; Mt 4,10; L 4,8)4 So the people of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord only.5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord for you.” (Sd 20,1)6 So they gathered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the Lord and fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah. (Sd 10,10; 1S 7,5; 1S 31,13; 2S 14,14; Neh 9,1)7 Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.8 And the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”9 So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him. (Ž 99,6; Jr 15,1)10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. But the Lord thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were defeated before Israel. (1S 2,10; 2S 22,14; Ž 18,13)11 And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them, as far as below Beth-car.12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen[1] and called its name Ebenezer;[2] for he said, “Till now the Lord has helped us.” (Gn 28,18; Gn 31,45; Gn 35,14; Jz 4,9; Jz 24,26)13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. (Sd 13,1)14 The cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. (Sd 2,16; 1S 7,6; 1S 12,11)16 And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah. And he judged Israel in all these places.17 Then he would return to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he judged Israel. And he built there an altar to the Lord. (Sd 21,4; 1S 1,19; 1S 14,35)
